00:00for you.
00:01Nice.
00:01So it's going to be
00:02Lubman,
00:03then myself,
00:04Dan Dibley,
00:06and then Producer Carter
00:07in the back
00:07with the first four picks,
00:09and then the ball
00:10really gets rolling
00:11after that.
00:11I'm like the Giants
00:12because the Giants,
00:14once they realized
00:15they had no shot
00:15at the playoffs,
00:16started playing well.
00:18Once I go all auto-draft
00:19on this draft today,
00:21I have nothing to lose.
00:22I'm in win-win mode.
00:23Technically,
00:24you are in auto-draft mode today
00:25because Mark and Sangamon
00:26are doing it for you.
00:27But as long as he doesn't...
00:28After you guys cheated
00:29and heavy-handed
00:30the lottery...
00:31You saw me draw the news!
00:32I know, David Stern.
00:33We watched you.
00:34Oh, okay.
00:34We watched you.
00:35Don't you ever compare me
00:36to that, man.
00:37David Stern is way smarter
00:39than you.
00:39I have nothing nice
00:40to say about him.
00:41It's the 2025-95-7
00:43The Game Red and Gold Summit
00:44happening tomorrow, though, Joe.
00:45You going to be there?
00:46Yeah?
00:46September 4th tomorrow,
00:47Kings Fish House,
00:48Western Valley Fair.
00:49You're going to be there
00:50locked and loaded
00:50talking some Niners football, baby.
00:52You know what's awesome?
00:53We were trying to get Carter
00:54to take a ride with me
00:55and he doesn't even want
00:56to get in the car with me.
00:57Really?
00:57If you want to go
00:58and dig a ride with me...
00:59That's where you're going to be
01:00playing some Nelly.
01:01There you go.
01:01We'll see.
01:02Willard and Dibs
01:03are going to be live
01:032-4.
01:04Kings Fish House,
01:05Westfield Valley Fair
01:05in Santa Clara.
01:06Hey!
01:07Must be the money!
01:08From fantasy football!
01:09Summit is going to be
01:10after them.
01:11So 4-6.
01:12All the hosts,
01:12myself, Shasky,
01:13Stiney, Goo,
01:14Willard and Dibs.
01:15Again,
01:15Kings Fish House,
01:16Santa Clara,
01:17be there or be square.
01:18And apparently,
01:19according to sources,
01:21this isn't going to be
01:21like all the other summits.
01:23There's going to be
01:23some new things
01:24happening tomorrow, Joe.
01:25Some games being played.
01:27Oh.
01:28Some little,
01:29not prizes being given out
01:31because that would have
01:31been way too fun.
01:33I think there will be
01:34some stuff.
01:34We've got some stuff
01:35percolating tomorrow.
01:37And I'm pretty excited about it.
01:38Where's King Fish?
01:40King's Fish House.
01:41King's Fish House.
01:42I'm sorry.
01:42I apologize.
01:43It's all right.
01:44It's all right.
01:44You love the fish,
01:45so I know you're excited
01:46about getting that.
01:46I love seafood.
01:47Yeah, I know you do.
01:48Do you see the menu?
01:48It's huge.
01:49No, no, no.
01:50I like to go
01:51and organically touch
01:52and feel the menu myself.
01:53West Field Valley Fair,
01:56Santa Clara.
01:56Nice.
01:574-6 tomorrow.
01:5895 is in the game.
01:59Red and Gold Summit.
02:00We're going to be talking
02:01some Niners football
02:02here this morning.
02:04I promise you that.
02:05But you know what?
02:05The Giants have been
02:06the talk of the town this far
02:07because Rafi Devers
02:09officially became a Giant yesterday
02:10going at the Rockies pitcher
02:13in the very first inning.
02:14And it wasn't even him
02:15going at him.
02:16It was Kyle Freeland
02:17going at Rafi Devers
02:18for having the gall
02:20and audacity
02:22to hit a home run off of him.
02:24Oh my God, Kyle.
02:26It's not like he's
02:27the first pitcher to do that.
02:28I'm sure you've given up
02:28like 60 or 70 home runs
02:30already this season
02:31because you have
02:32a 3-14 record
02:33and you have 100 losses
02:34on the season
02:35and your team sucks
02:36and they're irrelevant
02:37and they're always
02:37going to be irrelevant.
02:38Better cry about it.
02:39And this is what he did
02:40after the game.
02:41Yeah, I mean,
02:42I just found it
02:42extremely disrespectful
02:43to show me up like that
02:46in the first inning
02:46after hitting a home run.
02:48Standing there watching it.
02:51Taking your sweet time
02:52getting down to first base.
02:53Been in this league
02:54for quite some time.
02:54I know he is as well.
02:56I just found that
02:56extremely disrespectful
02:57and felt that I needed
02:59to let him know about that.
02:59I mean, Jesus.
03:01Like, that's disrespectful?
03:03That?
03:05That's the bar for disrespect?
03:07Holding the bat
03:07while, by the way,
03:09he was in movement
03:09the entire time.
03:10He wasn't standing.
03:11He was in movement
03:12because I watched it back
03:13a thousand times
03:14and he's watching the ball.
03:16Is it out?
03:16Is it in?
03:17Is it out?
03:17As he's like,
03:18not even waving the bat,
03:19he's kind of moving it
03:20from shoulder to shoulder.
03:21Kyle Freeland.
03:22I mean,
03:23is his name Karen?
03:25Are we sure it's not Karen
03:26instead of Kyle?
03:27Karen Freeland.
03:28That's pretty good.
03:28That might be his mom.
03:29I mean, is that his name?
03:30Like, honest to gosh,
03:31what are we doing?
03:32Well, he's been in the league.
03:33He is right.
03:34He's been in the league
03:34since 2017
03:35and I'm just looking
03:36at the stats here.
03:38Oh, he had one really good season
03:39in 2018.
03:40He had a 2-8-5 ERA.
03:41Wow, that's impressive.
03:4217-7.
03:44Oh, 3-11.
03:459-11.
03:466-14.
03:475-8.
03:48Oh, 3-14.
03:49Oh, wow.
03:50Yeah, you have been
03:51in the league a long time, Kyle.
03:52I don't know how you've
03:53lasted this long.
03:53If you're disrespected by that,
03:55I would say your threshold
03:56for disrespect
03:57is ridiculously low.
03:59I think you were on the money
04:01when you said this
04:02last segment, Joe.
04:03Something must have bothered him
04:04earlier that day.
04:05I truly believe that.
04:06There's something on this.
04:07I think there's something else
04:08going on in his life.
04:09Well, they're like,
04:10Rafi Devers, first off,
04:11like I mentioned,
04:12he's an American League guy
04:13for the most part.
04:14This is his first cup of coffee
04:15in the National League.
04:16This isn't a rivalry
04:18by any means.
04:18The Rockies and Giants.
04:20The Rockies wish they had a rival.
04:22They don't.
04:23It's the second batter of the game
04:25and he's literally
04:26if Kyle Freeland
04:28just took a second
04:29to just actually look
04:29at Rafi Devers
04:30and see what he was doing
04:31and not getting in his feels,
04:33he would have noticed
04:34that he was making sure
04:35it was a fair ball
04:36because he was literally
04:37leaning to the left and right
04:39like I don't know
04:40if it's a fair ball or not.
04:41Joe, it's obvious.
04:43He swung the bat
04:44and Kyle Freeland
04:44was looking
04:45to get upset.
04:46Yes, to get upset.
04:48If you watch it,
04:49like he knew right away
04:50A, it was gone.
04:51Like Freeland knew immediately
04:52and he was like staring at him
04:54waiting to be triggered.
04:55I'm telling you,
04:56I think there's something
04:56more to this guy.
04:57Something's going on with him
04:58personally or whatever
05:00because I just think
05:01the actions
05:02and his obsession
05:04over Devers
05:04did not fit
05:06whatever crime
05:06he thinks Devers committed.
05:07That was,
05:08it was like
05:09he jaywalked
05:10and he treated him
05:11like he just did
05:12you know,
05:12armed robbery.
05:13So apparently
05:14we have a Kyle Freeland
05:16defender
05:17from Colorado.
05:19This is
05:19Scotty Gange.
05:21Hope I'm pronouncing
05:22that correctly.
05:23Sports anchor
05:24for Channel 9 News
05:25out in Denver, Colorado.
05:28Here he is yesterday
05:29on his Instagram
05:31talking about
05:32defending
05:33Kyle Freeland.
05:35Okay, here we go.
05:36This is an awesome brawl
05:37in the Rockies-Giants game
05:38that happened literally
05:39just moments ago
05:39here on this Tuesday.
05:40Kyle Freeland
05:41of the Rockies
05:41leaves one's up.
05:42Leaves one up.
05:43Raphael Devers
05:44moonshots it.
05:45Moonshots it.
05:46He admires it.
05:47He goes slowly
05:48to first base.
05:48Kyle Freeland
05:49the Rockies pitcher
05:50didn't love that.
05:51They're barking
05:51back and forth
05:52at each other.
05:53Raphael Devers
05:53is maybe at first base.
05:55I'm not sure.
05:55Here comes Matt Chapman
05:56from the on-deck circle.
05:57Now here we go.
05:58Benches are clearing.
06:01Tempers are hot.
06:02Dudes are pissed.
06:04Barking some,
06:04pushing some,
06:05shoving.
06:05Here's Chapman
06:06another angle.
06:06I mean,
06:06he just kind of
06:07comes from the other side
06:07and now Freeland's like
06:09I'm not taking that.
06:10Yeah, we have lost
06:1099 games this season.
06:12I'm not taking that though.
06:13I kind of like it.
06:13It's the most passion
06:15I've seen in a Rockies game
06:16all season long.
06:17Kyle Freeland
06:18grew up in Denver.
06:19He's been the Rockies
06:19the longest of any
06:20player on this team.
06:22Can you tell he's
06:22a little fired up?
06:23Warren Schaefer
06:24the inner manager
06:24pushes him away.
06:25Finally,
06:25several minutes later
06:26Raphael Devers
06:27actually circles the bases.
06:29So Freeland gets tossed.
06:30Devers did not.
06:31Here's the next look at it,
06:32right?
06:32I mean,
06:32Devers is just taking it in.
06:34Taking it in.
06:35Taking it in.
06:36You can kind of read
06:37Kyle Freeland's lips here.
06:38I'm no John Boyd,
06:38but I think he's probably
06:39just saying just run.
06:42Just run.
06:44And then Chapman
06:45comes in from behind
06:46and then it becomes
06:47a whole big thing.
06:48You can see the guys
06:48in the Giants dugout.
06:49Oh, here we go.
06:50They already knew
06:50before he even pushed him
06:51it was going to be a deal.
06:53So Chapman got tossed
06:54for that push.
06:55Again,
06:55Raphael Devers didn't.
06:56And then Willie Adamas
06:57got thrown out too
06:58because just as it was
06:59all ending,
07:00he starts barking
07:01at the Rockies dugout
07:01and running over there.
07:03What a moment.
07:05Okay.
07:06Can we just start at the top?
07:07I don't know.
07:08Who's this guy?
07:09Scotty Gange.
07:10I hope I'm pronouncing that correct.
07:11Yeah, all right.
07:12It's not a brawl.
07:13Have any of you ever,
07:14and I'm not trying to say
07:15that I'm some fighter.
07:16I'm really not.
07:17Have any of you ever
07:18really been in a brawl?
07:19That is not a brawl.
07:20That is a,
07:21that's a couple of dudes
07:22showing testosterone.
07:23You know what that is?
07:24That's a Saturday morning
07:26basketball fracas.
07:28Like that is nothing.
07:29That's a hard foul
07:31where a bunch of guys
07:32get into it
07:32or a tackle that somebody
07:34took exception to
07:36and a bunch of guys
07:37got into it.
07:37That is not a brawl.
07:38A brawl is,
07:39we've got people
07:40swinging all over the place.
07:41Malice at the palace
07:42was a brawl.
07:43A hundred percent.
07:44This was a couple of guys
07:46pushing and shoving
07:47and a bunch of people.
07:49A brawl?
07:49Whenever the benches
07:50quote unquote clear,
07:52clearing the benches,
07:53when everyone gets out
07:54onto the field,
07:55it always just looks
07:56crazier than it actually is.
07:58It just is.
07:59We just want to get upset
08:00and get fired up.
08:01And I do think there is
08:02a part of us as humans,
08:04and this is just
08:05in our nature,
08:06we want to see
08:07and we crave violence
08:08on some level.
08:09Any child elementary school,
08:12two kids get into it
08:13and it's like,
08:13fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
08:15And there's a circle
08:16and everyone goes crazy.
08:18And yeah,
08:18so no,
08:19you're 100% correct.
08:20But that's not a brawl.
08:22Can we all,
08:22that's not a brawl.
08:24Well,
08:24and the disrespectful angle
08:26in all this,
08:27what is more disrespectful,
08:29doing what Kyle Freeland
08:30did yesterday
08:31or doing what
08:32Rafi Devers did?
08:34It's Kyle Freeland.
08:35Dude,
08:36get out of your feelings.
08:37You're the one that comes away
08:38from all this
08:38looking soft.
08:40You look soft.
08:41You were perceived
08:42as soft now.
08:43And yeah,
08:44the fact that you did grow up
08:45in Denver, Colorado,
08:47honestly makes it worse.
08:48Just wear it, dude.
08:50You're the hometown guy.
08:51You're supposed to be
08:52the leader of that team?
08:53Act like it.
08:54You know who I saw
08:55being a leader yesterday?
08:57Was Matt Chapman.
08:58Was Willie Adamas.
08:59Was Rafi Devers.
09:00Was all those other
09:01giant teams.
09:01The Dom Smiths
09:02picking up
09:03for Matt Chapman.
09:05Casey Schmidt
09:06picking it up
09:07for Willie Adamas.
09:07Vice versa, right?
09:08Those guys filling in
09:09after they got ejected
09:11and stepping up
09:12and scoring runs
09:12and hitting home runs.
09:14That is what
09:14true leadership looks like.
09:16I 100% agree.
09:18Then the other part
09:18that he brings up,
09:19the guy who did that
09:20Instagram, TikTok,
09:22whatever.
09:22Scotty, don't.
09:23He goes,
09:23oh, well, you know,
09:24they're going back and forth.
09:25No.
09:25Freeland was yelling
09:27at Devers
09:27and Devers is
09:28jogging down the line,
09:30okay?
09:30And we'll get to the
09:31jogging portion of this
09:32in a second.
09:33Jogging down the line.
09:34Looks over his shoulder
09:35like, are you talking
09:36to me?
09:36Like, what?
09:37Like, almost confused.
09:39And then he's like,
09:39dude, what are you
09:40talking about?
09:41Like, that's the way
09:42I interpreted it.
09:43Again, I watched it
09:44over and over again.
09:44So, that I disagree with.
09:46Also, newsflash,
09:48have you seen Kyle
09:49Schwarber running on the bases?
09:51He's not running.
09:52He's not even jogging.
09:53He's walking.
09:54Have you seen Juan Soto?
09:55Have you seen Fernando Tatis?
09:57Have you seen Manny Machado?
09:58I take more umbrage
09:59with Juan Soto
10:00taking a pitch
10:02two inches off the plate
10:03when he does the, like,
10:04the karate,
10:05like, whatever that squat
10:07thing is that he does.
10:08I think that's way
10:09more disrespectful.
10:10Wax on, wax off.
10:11You know exactly
10:12what I'm talking about.
10:12I know exactly
10:12what you're talking about.
10:14Like, I see all these
10:14little kids now doing it.
10:15I'm like, dude.
10:16I kind of love it.
10:17It's so dumb.
10:17No, you look ridiculous.
10:19I kind of love it.
10:19And then I'm like,
10:19I'm like, look,
10:21what Devers did yesterday
10:22had, like,
10:23is he supposed to go
10:25head down Matt Williams
10:261989 style
10:27running around the bases
10:28at full speed?
10:30Kyle Freeland,
10:31have you been living
10:32under a rock
10:33for the last decade?
10:34Well, he is a rocky.
10:36Sorry.
10:37That's actually pretty good.
10:39That's pretty good.
10:40It was right there.
10:41No, but I'm dead serious.
10:42Like, I mean, like,
10:43again, Juan Soto
10:44takes a pitch.
10:45Not even a home run.
10:46He takes a pitch
10:47and he does this thing.
10:47He goes, look at this.
10:48I don't even know
10:50what is this called.
10:51It's like, I feel like
10:51I'm yoga-ing or something.
10:53Well, what was that
10:53exercise, like jazzercising?
10:55What was that guy
10:55called those infomercials
10:57that would always do?
10:58No, it was the other guy
10:59who was, he had a leotard too.
11:01It wasn't Richard Simmons.
11:02Ty Bo?
11:03Something like that?
11:03Well, Ty Bo was more like
11:04karate kicking and stuff.
11:06Yeah, but that's kind of
11:06what you're doing right there.
11:07It's exactly what I don't.
11:08I don't even know
11:08what they're doing.
11:09But again, look,
11:11okay, I've watched
11:12Elliot Ramos
11:13bat flip a walk
11:14all year.
11:15All year!
11:16I'm not mad at him.
11:17All year!
11:17Have you guys
11:18bat flipping walks
11:19and then he flips off
11:20all the 75 garments
11:22that he has on him
11:23of protection?
11:25What Adamus did
11:26is like going to church.
11:28It was nothing
11:28in the modern day.
11:30It's ridiculous.
11:31We have a special guest
11:32on the hotline right now
11:33courtesy of River Islands.
11:35It's the one,
11:36the only,
11:37the guy that has the
11:38pick in the fantasy football draft
11:41here at 95-7 the game.
11:42He'll let us know
11:43his thought process
11:44in the 16-team league.
11:45But before we get to that,
11:47we have Mark Willard
11:48talking Giants baseball
11:50on the morning roast.
11:52You know it's big time
11:53and a big time win
11:55when Mark Willard
11:56graces us
11:57with his presence
11:58this morning.
11:59Mark,
12:00how are we feeling
12:00after yesterday, buddy?
12:02I'm feeling pretty good.
12:03Good morning, boys.
12:05Spadoni,
12:05the number is 10.
12:07The pick is 10.
12:09And I can't wait
12:09to come see you.
12:11I'm not going to be like
12:11all these other wimps
12:13who are like,
12:13I'll call Ed.
12:14No, get your butt
12:15into the studio.
12:16I'm going to come see you guys
12:17in 90 minutes.
12:19That's going to be
12:19all kinds of fun.
12:20I can't wait.
12:21But Shafki,
12:23I needed to thank you first.
12:25Sometimes your social media videos
12:28are a little bit too close
12:29to your face.
12:30But last night,
12:31it really, really helped me.
12:33It helped calm me down
12:35that you were screaming
12:36at Kyle Freeland
12:37into your phone
12:38because I was screaming
12:40at Kyle Freeland
12:41while we were still
12:42on the air yesterday
12:43which is not something
12:45we usually do.
12:46That was absolutely ridiculous.
12:48I can't stand
12:49this red ass stuff
12:50in baseball anymore.
12:51And you spoke to me, man.
12:53You know,
12:53the thing that bugs me
12:54is that I saw a lot of people
12:56like, whoa, mad bum.
12:58Dude, that act wore thin
12:59on Giants fans at the end.
13:01At one point,
13:02it made total sense.
13:03Like, I get it.
13:04Our whole perspective
13:06on celebrations
13:07has shifted.
13:09All right?
13:09Now, there's a time
13:10and place.
13:10Again, I've watched
13:12Elliot Ramos bat flip
13:14and then flip off
13:15every little garment
13:16on him on a walk.
13:18On a walk.
13:19What Devers did yesterday,
13:20he's holding the bat
13:21and going from shoulder
13:23to shoulder.
13:23It looks like, to me,
13:25there's a glare
13:25because it's sunny
13:26and he doesn't know
13:27if it's going to stay
13:28fair or not
13:29and he doesn't know
13:29if it's going to get
13:30over the fence or not
13:31and he's still kind of jogging.
13:33Like, Freeland
13:34was looking to be triggered.
13:36I honestly believe
13:37there's something else
13:38going on in his life
13:39that might have led to this.
13:40This is just pure speculation
13:41because I think he went
13:43completely overboard here.
13:45I saw it the same way
13:47you did.
13:47Devers didn't agree with me.
13:48He thought he was pimping
13:49the whole thing
13:50but I was like,
13:51I don't know if he knew
13:52that that was going to be
13:53a home run
13:53so he's kind of giving it
13:54the body language thing.
13:56But dude,
13:57you said it about an hour ago
13:59and I was like,
14:01why can we not look
14:02at the world this way?
14:03Somehow,
14:04we are in a vortex
14:05where as a baseball pitcher,
14:07if somebody is
14:09an inch too close
14:11to the plate
14:11for your liking,
14:13you're allowed to take
14:14a hardened sphere
14:16and huck it
14:17at that person.
14:19That's not disrespectful.
14:21That's owning your space.
14:23But if somebody else
14:24hits that ball
14:25over the fence
14:26and watches it
14:27for a hot second,
14:28we're now going to use
14:29the word disrespectful.
14:32There's so much,
14:33the highfalutin thing
14:34of pitchers
14:35and umpires
14:36in baseball,
14:37yeah man,
14:38dude,
14:38it's antiquated,
14:39it's over.
14:40I totally agree.
14:40And then let's,
14:41I want to double down
14:42on this.
14:43I've been waiting
14:43for this team,
14:44the Giants,
14:45to show me passion
14:47for a long time.
14:48And like,
14:49they've had all
14:50of these different,
14:51I call them like
14:52flatliners, right?
14:53And you can have
14:54a couple of flatliners.
14:55Give me a passion guy.
14:56And look,
14:57I'm going to bring up
14:58a guy,
14:58a young player.
14:59I don't even know
15:00if he's good.
15:00I don't even know
15:01if he's good.
15:02Drew Gilbert
15:02speaks to my soul.
15:04And I feel like
15:05him and Adamas
15:06and Chapman
15:07and all the guys,
15:08the fellas yesterday,
15:10it felt like
15:11a seminal moment.
15:12Forget this year.
15:13Suspend whether they
15:14can make the playoffs
15:15for this year.
15:16That was their signal
15:17to me as a Giants fan.
15:20We are to be bought
15:22in on
15:23and we need to add
15:25to this mix
15:25and we're going
15:26to fight for it.
15:27And it spoke to my soul
15:28as a Giants fan.
15:29I've been begging
15:30for that level
15:31of passion
15:32and unity
15:33and chemistry
15:34from this team
15:34for about half a decade.
15:37I knew you were
15:38heading toward
15:39Drew Gilbert
15:40and I've been saying
15:41it all week.
15:41The guy's got
15:42some serious
15:43SEC drunk
15:45frat guy energy.
15:46Yes.
15:47Like big time.
15:48He really does.
15:49But in some sort
15:50of a way,
15:51it works right now.
15:52So he's screaming
15:53all the time.
15:54He hit that homer
15:56a couple days ago
15:57and as he's rounding
15:57the bases,
15:58he's screaming,
15:59this is our time.
16:00This is our time.
16:01And I'm like,
16:01it's probably not,
16:03but I'm digging it.
16:04Like,
16:05rock on, dude.
16:06They've probably
16:07saved Bob Melvin's job.
16:08I don't even know
16:09if he was really
16:10in that much danger,
16:12but it was a maybe.
16:13And I think
16:14they've probably
16:14saved his job.
16:16And like you said,
16:17if nothing else,
16:18it injects a little bit
16:19of something
16:20into our veins
16:21that gets us excited
16:22for next year.
16:23The voice you hear
16:23is that of Mark Willard
16:24who will be joining us,
16:25I guess,
16:26in studio
16:26in the 9 o'clock hour
16:28where he has
16:29the 10th overall pick
16:31in the 95-7
16:32of the game
16:32fantasy football draft.
16:34Sam Lublin's got
16:35the first one,
16:36I got the second,
16:36we got Dibbs
16:37and then Carter.
16:38What are you doing,
16:38Spadoni?
16:39What are you doing
16:40with number two?
16:40I'm thinking Jake Moody.
16:41I know Lublin's
16:42going to take Chase.
16:43He doesn't have the guts
16:43to take anyone else.
16:44What are you doing?
16:45We'll see.
16:46I'm keeping it.
16:47My card's close
16:48to the vest here, Mark.
16:49I'm not entirely sure.
16:49What are you doing?
16:51What are you doing
16:51with the 10th pick,
16:52Jimmy G?
16:52Well, I mean,
16:53when you're in the back half,
16:55you just got to play the board.
16:57But I mean,
16:57I took a quick look last night
16:59and I just wanted to make sure
17:01there were 10 players
17:02I was comfortable with
17:03so that one of them
17:04will be there.
17:06And I've got my 10.
17:07I've got my 10
17:08and we'll see which one
17:09you all leave to me.
17:11If you were
17:11to allow someone
17:13who's an on-air personality
17:15to do your draft
17:17for you in another league,
17:18who would you trust the most
17:20to walk away
17:21with the best team?
17:22That's a good one.
17:23Oh, my God.
17:24That's a good question.
17:25So it has to be
17:26one of the six of us.
17:27Yep.
17:27Well, you know,
17:27Stiney's auto-drafting,
17:29so there's that.
17:30Yeah.
17:30No, no, no.
17:31The middays
17:32are eliminated immediately.
17:35Yeah.
17:37That's a no.
17:38And Dibs gets too angry.
17:40Like, I trust him
17:41in the first round,
17:42but by round two,
17:43he's always pissed off
17:44at somebody for something.
17:47And then he acts on emotion.
17:48So I'm down to you two guys.
17:50And the only reason
17:51I'm going to say you, Spadoni,
17:52is Shasky,
17:53I've never played with you.
17:54I don't know what you're,
17:55I don't know how locked in
17:56you are on this.
17:57Well, he doesn't even have
17:58his first pick this morning.
18:00It's a contest winner.
18:01Mark and San Ramone's
18:02picking for him.
18:03I know.
18:04So we have three marks.
18:06Yeah, it's down to you two guys,
18:08but I'm going to lean Spadoni
18:09until I see what you got, Shasky.
18:10That's fair.
18:11That's fair.
18:11You know what happens is
18:12right now I'm in a fantasy drought
18:14in the sense that
18:15I've made the playoffs
18:16a zillion times.
18:17I just can't get over the hump.
18:18It's just,
18:18it's been a long, long, long time
18:21for me.
18:22And yeah, I know.
18:23You're Kyle Shanahan.
18:24I am.
18:24I can't win the big one.
18:26Yeah, you're like another coach
18:28we talk about in this city.
18:29Well, they call me
18:30the Marty Schottenheimer
18:31of fantasy football.
18:32Oh no, rest in peace.
18:33I'll get you there.
18:34I'll get you there,
18:35but man, I just,
18:36I'm going to lose
18:36in a horrific fashion
18:38with my best player
18:39on the sidelines.
18:40Yeah, you're just picking up
18:42weird bench players
18:44on a gut feeling
18:45and sticking them in there
18:46and having them
18:47absolutely goose you.
18:49Well, have you ever been a part
18:50of a 16-team league, Mark?
18:52No, no.
18:53I've done 14 before
18:54and it's frustrating.
18:57So 16, I've never done before,
19:00but I'm a little older,
19:01so I'm going to try
19:02to just like, you know,
19:03whatever, let's go
19:04with the flow
19:04and see what happens.
19:06But yeah, I'm also planning
19:08on like, once you make a pick,
19:10I'm going to go run some errands
19:12and then I'll come back
19:13and I'll make a second pick
19:14and then I'll put the kids to bed
19:16and then I'm making a,
19:17by the way, Shasky,
19:19I like LJ's little t-ball swing
19:21there in the living room.
19:22I like it.
19:23We're working on it.
19:24Yeah, we're working on it right now.
19:26He's, I mean, he's just,
19:27he's out of his mind
19:28at the end of the day.
19:29We get to the goofy hour
19:30about five o'clock
19:31and...
19:32Yeah, the witching hour.
19:33Oh my God.
19:34He's hitting...
19:35Of course.
19:35He's hitting all these balls
19:37off the tee.
19:37It's going crazy.
19:38I got to ask you
19:39about the Giants one more thing.
19:40Is Devers,
19:41because I think he is,
19:42is Devers the best
19:43left-handed hitter
19:44since Bonds
19:44that they've acquired?
19:45I mean, I think legitimately
19:46we need to recalibrate.
19:48Forget 30 home runs.
19:49I think this guy
19:50could legitimately get 40
19:51and 110 for them next year.
19:53I don't know
19:55who the other names
19:56would be
19:57that would battle it
19:58and the only reason
19:59that that doesn't seem
20:00like a no-brainer
20:01is that he hasn't been here
20:02long enough
20:03to really kind of like
20:04sink in
20:05for all the fans
20:06plus obviously
20:07the first
20:08six to seven weeks
20:09were combined
20:10with so much losing
20:11and a lot of striking out
20:13and all of that
20:13but like
20:14I've been saying this
20:15the whole time.
20:16I know you have too
20:17like Rafi Devers
20:18doesn't need
20:18he's well beyond
20:20needing to prove
20:21something to anybody
20:22like he's transitioning
20:24he'll figure it out
20:25Rafi Devers
20:26is one of the top 10
20:2712 hitters in the game
20:30and so
20:31I found it laughable
20:33that a losing streak
20:34kicked a lot of
20:35national reporters
20:36into this
20:37well the Giants
20:38got fleeced on that trade
20:39you've got to be kidding me
20:40I mean
20:41I don't know
20:42what they gave up
20:43I don't know
20:43what the Red Sox
20:44had even gotten
20:45out of this
20:45just because they
20:46went through a hot
20:48July and the Giants
20:49didn't
20:49does not change that
20:50trade
20:51so I'm with you
20:52Harrison has
20:5311 starts in AAA
20:54and about a 4 ERA
20:56maybe a little under
20:57in the high threes
20:59and then
20:59Jordan Hicks
21:00has done nothing
21:00and they traded away
21:02Tibbs to the Dodgers
21:03so I mean
21:04look really
21:04you took on the contract
21:05that's kind of
21:07how I'm viewing it
21:07which is fine
21:09like I mean
21:10they've got plenty of money
21:11that's what we've been
21:11asking them to do
21:12all along
21:13so
21:14the only worry
21:15about that
21:16is if they
21:16then use it
21:17to say
21:17you know
21:18we're not going
21:18to be on the market
21:19now for the next
21:20five years
21:21to sign anybody else
21:22that would be
21:22my only concern
21:23but other than that
21:25I'm not worried
21:26about the Giants
21:26finances
21:27they're cool
21:28hey Mark
21:28I'll see you
21:29in about an hour
