00:00Do you have the poll that's on YouTube?
00:02Like, read it verbatim, Grandy.
00:04So this, when you go on YouTube to watch our show,
00:07this immediately pops up in the chat window.
00:10What does it say?
00:11This was put up by the guys this morning.
00:13It says, which of these three teams has the best roster right now?
00:17And your options are Giants, Niners, and Warriors.
00:20So, unprompted and without any, like the last time.
00:25You picked all three.
00:27It's a three-way tie, everybody.
00:32Go us!
00:33Do you have to be a homer?
00:35That's very funny.
00:37That's very funny.
00:38No, totally unprompted.
00:40The last time that my wife and I texted each other this morning,
00:44it was when, because I went and did a workout at her studio,
00:49Premier Bay Fitness, which is great.
00:52And I was downstairs.
00:53She had had another client.
00:55And I was downstairs waiting, and she wrote, come on up.
00:58This was at 9.30 this morning.
00:59Okay.
00:59No other texts, no other communication outside of that since then.
01:05And out of nowhere, I just get a text, your poll needs a none option.
01:13Oh, wow.
01:16Huh?
01:17So, this is, yeah, this is.
01:18That's my girl.
01:20That's my girl.
01:21I just texted her back.
01:23Rude.
01:25Just rude.
01:27Like, your poll needs a none option.
01:32Right.
01:33First of all.
01:34None, yeah.
01:35None, yeah.
01:35Who's got the best roster?
01:37None, yeah.
01:39Yep.
01:42It's funny, because I just actually looked at the poll, and I looked, and I'm like,
01:45no, not you.
01:48Not you.
01:48What did you vote?
01:49And not you.
01:50What did you vote?
01:51It'll shock you.
01:53The Giants.
01:55Really?
01:56The Giants.
01:56Yes.
01:57See, I voted 49ers.
01:59I voted 49ers.
02:00How can we?
02:01But, but we're, like, we're all, we spent all year with all the, like, oh, these great
02:07players who got hurt.
02:09So, like, right, what they ended up playing with was not a great roster, but what if all
02:14those guys get put back on the team?
02:17Right, they're allowed to.
02:18It's a pretty good roster.
02:19It's not a perfect one.
02:20It's got holes.
02:22It's got stuff.
02:22I guess I was looking at it.
02:24It's a pretty good roster.
02:24It's a pretty good roster.
02:26The Warriors roster, for me, like, if you want to look at the roster and the best case,
02:32right?
02:33Yeah.
02:33Like, the Warriors, you have the chef, and he's about to be 38, and you've got Draymond.
02:39Jimmy's hurt.
02:39Chris Tapps maybe never will play as a Warrior.
02:43Al Holford's about to be 40.
02:45Supposed to play Thursday.
02:46Sure.
02:46But, I mean, I'm looking at that roster, and the names are better than they actually are
02:51currently.
02:52And the Niners, I do think you have also some question marks.
02:55And I looked at the Giants, and I thought, you know what?
02:58Devers and Adamas and Chapman.
03:01They have a lineup.
03:02You have a couple of pitchers.
03:02I mean, you've got some guys.
03:04They've got a lineup.
03:05I don't know who their bullpen is.
03:07Like, I don't know who their bullpen is, and their bullpen is really important.
03:11And it's great that Adrian Hauser is now our friend, but I have no idea how that, you
03:16know what I mean?
03:16Like, I got Logan Webb, and then where we go from here, it's a lot of we'll see after that.
03:22But, I think, yeah, the Niners have some holes.
03:25They've also got some answers.
03:27Niners have a lot of answers.
03:29They do, but at the same time, I mean, their answers are also question marks.
03:33Like, Christian McCaffrey coming off of 413 touches.
03:38Well, you can create a question mark around anything.
03:42I mean, Kittle's hurt.
03:43Yes, but Christian McCaffrey is a very good player.
03:46The only question we have, we're sort of making up in our mind.
03:50I mean, sort of, but...
03:51Can you come back after that many touches?
03:53I mean, he's healthy.
03:54He's here.
03:55He's Christian McCaffrey.
03:56Right.
03:57But, I mean, I did a deep dive on, like, what happens after you have 400 touches.
04:02I got you.
04:02I mean, when you do it and you're younger, it goes better than when you do it and you're
04:07older.
04:08Well, yes.
04:09No, I mean...
04:10Most things do.
04:11Yes, and I did, like, I looked at all 20 times that somebody had 400 or more touches
04:16since the year 2000, and he actually has two of them.
04:20And if you look at Curtis Martin, he was in his 10th year, he did it, and he came back
04:26and he had 853 yards and five touchdowns.
04:30It was his last year.
04:31You had Tiki Barber.
04:32He came back with 385 touches the next year and five touchdowns.
04:38He went for 2,100 yards.
04:40So, you can do it as an older player.
04:43You're allowed to, but there aren't that many instances of guys doing it this late in their
04:48career and coming back and playing well.
04:51Boxer and Grifton work injury attorneys text line, 925, add the Sharks.
04:56That would be interesting.
04:57I mean, they've...
04:58Now, they are the answer to where is the young talent in the Bay Area.
05:02There's no question about that.
05:04Then there's someone else, different 925.
05:07The best of the teams is the one that wasn't mentioned.
05:10It's the A's, and you know it.
05:13All right.
05:14I have so many things to say.
05:16Sure.
05:16First of all, that's not a Bay Area team.
05:18I'm sorry that you're...
05:19Not anymore.
05:20If you're still a fan of them, great.
05:22Be a fan.
05:23They are literally building a stadium.
05:25I looked at it this morning in Las Vegas.
05:28They have broken ground.
05:29They are building.
05:29There are structures in the dirt and all of that.
05:33So, they don't even, soon from now, play in the state of California.
05:37And I'm always fascinated that A's fans don't ask for more from their ownership.
05:44You can tell us all day that they've got interesting young players.
05:49The A's always have interesting young players.
05:53And then they get rid of them.
05:55You won 76 games last year.
05:58Why are you so excited?
06:01Like, all your owner does is kick dirt in your face.
06:04All they do is develop young talent and then give it away so that they can have more young talent.
06:10And then more young talent.
06:11And give that away.
06:12Right?
06:12Like, the Warriors don't have any young talent.
06:14That's all the A's have.
06:16Ever.
06:17Young talent.
06:19They never have established let's-go-win talent.
06:24That would bother me so much.
06:27And it fascinates me when A's fans, like, trumpet that.
06:32Because, to me, that's the rug getting pulled out from under your feet.
06:35You're constantly being told that we're going to be good in two years.
06:38Right.
06:39And it constantly goes the same way, which is, I mean, they get good.
06:42And then it's time for them to be paid.
06:44And then you trade them.
06:45And, you know, you get more young guys who are, I mean, really good.
06:49And then they get good.
06:50And then they get dealt to.
06:51So, I'm with you, though, as far as, like, they're not a Bay Area team anymore.
06:55And it sucks because I spent about 15 years living in Oakland, going to A's games all the time.
07:01And it sucks that that's not a thing anymore.
07:04Yeah.
07:04So, the reason I bring this up is not only to present the snarkiness of the lovely Christy to the
07:11audience,
07:11but it's actually because it works into what we're talking about here.
07:15I keep hearing, I think you do, too, from fans, there was a common thread that felt like kept coming
07:22up.
07:22Forget the Sharks for now because they look like they have really, really nailed some generational young talent.
07:29And some of it you could say was easy.
07:31Like, you got the first pick when the guy that everybody knew was the guy was going to get picked.
07:35And it works out.
07:36And his dad's here with the Warriors and all that stuff.
07:38So, you get Macklin Celebrini.
07:40It's awesome.
07:40But the other three, the 49ers constantly get ripped, especially for their behavior in the first three rounds.
07:49We had a whole conversation yesterday about the lack of young talent on the Warriors.
07:55I'd fight back a little bit with their lack of opportunity to have young talent.
07:59But okay, they don't have a lot of young talent.
08:02And then the team that probably deserves some strays that isn't getting it is the San Francisco Giants.
08:10Because you can look around at this lineup that they've created.
08:14All right.
08:15Your catcher is a really good catcher.
08:18That's a draft pick.
08:20Chapman, free agent.
08:21Adamus, free agent.
08:23Arise, free agent.
08:25Rafi Devers, trade.
08:27Jung-Hoo Lee, free agent.
08:29Harrison Bader, free agent.
08:31Okay, Ramos is out there and left.
08:33That's a draft pick.
08:34It took, like, forever.
08:35And we're still questioning whether he can be in the field.
08:38And then we're trumpeting Bryce Eldridge and we actually don't even know if he's any good.
08:42Logan Webb, Patrick Bailey, and Elliot Ramos.
08:46Yep.
08:47There you go.
08:48I mean, and Casey Schmidt, sure.
08:49Sure, like players.
08:51Right.
08:51Like people.
08:52But, you know, some of the bullpen guys, whatever.
08:54But, like, where's that blue chip stuff there?
08:58So, I wonder, can we, okay, you and I both have a list.
09:02Yep.
09:02Yep.
09:03Our top five, we wish we had them back draft picks since 2020.
09:08But I would love to start a discussion with all of you.
09:12You can call right now and just, we'll do a yes or no question.
09:17Do all the teams in this market just suck at drafting?
09:21Yes or no?
09:23And what is the nuance that you attach to that?
09:27You know, the Niners have this weird thing where it's like, it's terrible in the first three rounds.
09:31But then it gets amazing after that.
09:34You know?
09:35Fred Warner, third round.
09:36George Kittle, fifth round.
09:38Brock Purdy, seventh round.
09:40You know, so, I don't know.
09:42I don't know if the Niners are good or bad or just upside down.
09:46But, like, I don't know.
09:49Do we have a drafting problem with our teams in this town?
09:538-8, 9-5-7, 9-5-7.
09:55Yes, we do.
09:56I mean, we do.
09:57And you can look at, like, the Warriors.
09:58I think it's a little bit harder to put that on them because they've only had, you mentioned it, three
10:03lottery picks in 14 years.
10:05So, when you're picking 18 or 29 or 30, like they always were picking 30th because you won the title.
10:12So, you pick last and you got Kavon Looney.
10:15That, to me, is not a drafting problem.
10:17You found somebody who was a forever warrior at the end of the first round.
10:21So, the Niners, though, like, first round, second round, third round, not great.
10:26Fourth through seventh, awesome.
10:28So, why can't you be good early when you're so good late?
10:32Why can't you be good early?
10:34Fair question.
10:35That, to me, is a problem.
