Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Joe Flacco and the Bengals: Expectations & Career Reflections (02:45–07:35)

• Poll Question Update: Listeners predict the Bengals (now with Flacco) won’t make the playoffs (73%).

• Flacco’s Resume: Dan recaps Flacco’s circuitous career—seven teams in eight years, Super Bowl MVP, but never a Pro Bowler.

• QB Debate: Who would you rather be—Joe Flacco with a ring and SB MVP or Philip Rivers, maybe a Hall of Famer but no Super Bowl?

  “For a quarterback, [Flacco] is incredibly old, and he’s going to by far the worst offensive line in football. … I hope that he finishes out his time there upright.” — Dan Patrick (04:28)

  “I’d take Philip Rivers… I think he’s more accomplished, just the name resonates more.” — Todd (06:00)

  “I’m taking a ring all day…he was the guy for a long time.” — Seaton (06:18)

2. “Travis Hunter Game” (07:35–08:41)

• Snap Count Breakdown: Travis Hunter is playing more snaps on offense (60%) than defense (39%)—contrary to pre-season expectations.

• Talent vs. Technique: Discussion centering on adaptability and why great athletes sometimes need to shore up technique for NFL success.

  “Sometimes you’re so talented that you don’t have technique… in the NFL, you have to have technique.” — Seaton (08:41)

3. Listener Call-In Highlights (08:41–18:12)

• QB Rankings Debate: Aaron Rodgers vs. Drew Brees vs. Matthew Stafford. Dan’s List: Rodgers, Brees, Stafford.

• Danette Career Aspirations: Do any Danettes want their own show? Responses are self-deprecating, with most expressing contentment or mild aspirations.

• Todd’s Airtime: Discussion about Todd’s frequent participation, listener jokes, and his reputation as a content “treasure trove.”

• Humor & Banter: Birthday calls, left lane driving gripes, and gentle ribbing among show regulars.

  “I would…dabble in a pod thing. But that’s the extent of it right now. Why don’t you entertain people on this show?” — Todd & Dan Patrick, roasting one another (13:06)

4. Interview: Jimmy Rollins (23:34–40:17)

Air Jordan Baseball Club (23:34–25:13)

• First MLB Jordan Endorsers: Jeter was first, then the “floodgates” opened to Rollins and CC Sabathia.

  “Jeter was the first…they finally opened up the floodgates and let myself in.” — Jimmy Rollins (24:04)

• First Meeting with Michael Jordan:

  “Mike…looked at me: ‘Oh, you didn’t get the memo? We’ll make it happen.’ Two years later…next year I was in [the cleats].” — Rollins (24:33)

• On Michael’s Aura:

  “He has a glow about him…there is an aura and energy about him, and it’s almost like if you get too close, you step into his energy…” — Rollins (25:18)

Who’s the “Jordan” of Baseball? (26:01)

• “Shohei [Ohtani] is the Jordan in baseball as we saw last year…He sells jerseys, he moves ticket prices, he’s expanded [the game] globally.” — Rollins (26:01)

On Michael Jordan’s Baseball Abilities (27:10)

• “Did he have the best swing? No… But for Mike, it was about attempting something he loved as a child—putting yourself out there, being vulnerable. If you try, anything can happen.” — Rollins (27:15)

Changing Approaches: Strikeouts & Analytics (28:17–30:24)

• Striking Out Was Once Shameful: Rollins notes how it used to be embarrassing for a leadoff hitter to strike out 100 times in a season.

• Modern Mentality: Now players “want you to get your A swing off 12-15 times a game,” with analytics favoring home runs but ignoring the impact of all the non-home run outs.

  “That’s not productive at all…but to win a championship, you have to have other parts of the game. And when you get to the playoffs, you’re not all of a sudden going to change who you are.” — Rollins (30:24)

Phillies Struggles & Playoff Hitting (30:24–31:21)

• “They’re simply not hitting…Their game is built around that three-run home run…when you’re facing pitching like the Dodgers have, that’s not going to happen too often.” — Rollins (30:27)

Aaron Judge’s Home Run at-Bat (31:21–33:20)

• “It was a two-strike pitch that almost hit him in his chest…there are few guys I’ve played against that can do that… Judge, at 6'7", those chest-high fastballs are still belt high for him.” — Rollins (31:36)

Baller Baseball Cribs (33:20–34:37)

• On Ryan Howard’s Mansion:

  “Main house may have been 20,000 square feet…the guest house was 8,000…everything you can imagine was in that house and it was on the beach…” — Rollins (33:35)

The Unique Sound of a Home Run (34:37–37:22)

• Describes Legendary Power Hitters: Ryan Howard, Barry Bonds, Gary Sheffield, Chipper Jones—all had a distinct, explosive sound off the bat.

• Barry Bonds Story: John Lieber’s “let’s get it over with” fastball vs. Bonds, who promptly hammered it off the stadium’s McDonald’s sign.

  “He said, ‘I’m gonna throw him a fastball, get it over with.’ And he did. And Barry did what he was supposed to do.” — Rollins (36:35)

Barry Bonds as a Hitter (37:22–39:23)

• Patience and Danger in the Box: Bonds might get just one good pitch per at-bat and never chased, making pitchers pay for every mistake.
• “For us that were fortunate enough to play with, against, and watch Barry, it was unworldly.” — Rollins (39:23)

PED Era & Bonds’ Greatness (39:23–40:17)

• Level Playing Field? Even if PEDs were allowed for all, Bonds would have been the best—maybe even hit 100 HRs in a season.

  “You still had to hit that ball…and he got one pitch.” — Dan Patrick (39:23)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “There are certain sounds in sports … when the ball leaves Ohtani’s bat, it sounds different than anybody else.” — Dan Patrick (34:37)
• “To see [Judge] have that moment, knowing that he hasn’t had that moment, to keep it fair … I think he can finally take that deep breath.” — Jimmy Rollins (33:20)
• “Even with performance enhancing drugs … you still, he still had to hit that ball.” — Dan Patrick (39:23)
• “For us that were fortunate enough to play with, against and watch Barry, it was unworldly.” — Jimmy Rollins (39:23)

We have a Travis Hunter game to play. We'll get to more of your phone calls as well. 877-3-DP show Tyler sitting by to take those phone calls. All right, Seaton, let's recap. The most bathroom can wait player in sports right now or. Well, this is just baseball, actually. Judge Ohtani, Cal, Raleigh, other Ohtani has 47 of that vote. And then after the Joe Flacco trade, what would be real realistic expectations? The Bengals. That's at about 73% not making the playoffs. Still no offense. I'm a little concerned about Joe going to the Bengals. How so? Well, he is for a quarterback, he's incredibly old and he's going to by far the worst offensive line in football. That's not really an ideal setup for, for an aging quarterback. But if he does get time, he gets to throw to some really good receivers. I, I think that they're counting on him to hand the ball off quickly and get the ball out of his hands even faster. Could have done that with Jake Browning. They didn't need to trade for Joe. I think they trust Joe's thought process a little more. I think he's gonna, they trust his decision making a little bit more. But man, that, that does not. I hope that he finishes out his time there upright.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I think he's been on what, seven teams in the last eight years or six teams in the last seven years. Yes. Paul. Yeah. Joe Flacco since 2018. Baltimore, Denver jets for three years. Cleveland, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. Flacco through all of this has still had a pretty good career that came out of Delaware and ended up Being a Super bowl mvp. And yes, he's bounced around. He's got a good playoff record. I don't know if he'll be adding to that playoff record, but he's there with the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah. Paul, would you like a quick. Whose career would you want? Off the top of my head. Okay. Joe Flacco not going to the hall of Fame as a Super bowl mvp. I don't think even made a Pro bowl in his career. Or Philip Rivers, who could squeak into the hall of Fame, never made a Super Bowl. I'm going to let Todd start this game because he doesn't like Philip Rivers. Todd. And strangely, I would take Philip Rivers for no other reason than when I hear both those names. I would feel just. I think he's more accomplished. Just the name resonates more. As far as who's like a better quarterback in the annals of NFL seon. I'm taking a. A ring all day. Okay. All day. You're gonna go Flacco. Heck yeah. You still. And, and not only that, but he was the guy for a long time. He wasn't a dude who sort of backed into a ring or something like that. He was the guy. And they were like, yeah, this is our fella. Moving forward. I'll take that all day, Marvin. Joe Flacco. Yeah, I want to be a Super bowl mvp. I would never. No regrets about my career. Yeah, I'd be Joe Flacco. You had your moment. Even though Philip probably is going to be a Hall of Famer. All right, let's play the Travis Hunter game. Not sure what the Travis Hunter game is, but I'm ready for it. So when we came into the season, there was a lot of speculation of how Travis Hunter will be used on offense and defense. After five weeks, can you guess if Travis Hunter has played more offensive plays or defensive plays? I'm going to say offensive plays. And I think people were looking at him being maybe a full time defensive back and a part time offensive player. So I would say offensive plays. Marvin.

[C]

Offense.

[B]

Seaton. Yeah, I'll say offense. Prince. Defense. Travis Hunter has had 327 snaps this year. 60% of them were on offense, 39% of them on defense. And it's actually going up last week against Kansas City. He played 67% of the offensive plays and 39% of the defensive plays. All right, Surprising Travis. Travis Hunter. Good. Yeah. I don't think he's a polished offensive weapon. Even though he had some good catches this past game, I thought that he would be Like a no brainer, great defensive back. I don't know, I, I, you can watch the game. You couldn't watch a Colorado game without noticing him. But you can watch a Jacksonville game and you can go, oh, that's right. You know they got Travis Hunter. Yeah, Paul. I'm looking at a few different pre draft articles and they speculated that he would play 80% of the snaps on defense and maybe come out on obvious running plays, short yardage plays, and then maybe 15 to 20 snaps on offense. And it hasn't gone that way.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Easing him in. Yeah. Seaton. I saw a lot of things leading into the draft too, about how he was a sure thing corner defensively. Sure thing that he was much better on the defensive side of the ball than he was on the offensive side of the ball, especially looking at NFL talent. So I'm, I'm really surprised at that. But sometimes you're so talented that you don't have technique. And I don't know enough about looking at his technique or how he plays the defensive position, but a lot of that in the NFL, you have to have technique. You can't just be a great athlete. Even though Dion was you, you can't get away with that stuff. And even running pass routes, like, you have to have technique as well. It's not just great athleticism. All right, let's see. Speaks in Knoxville. Hey, Speaks, what's on your mind today? Speaks is gone. Aiden in Utah. Hey, Aiden, what's on your mind? Adp, Good morning. I got into a discussion on social media. We'll put a debate on social media. It was, it was kind of random, but I wanted to get your take on it, see if you can settle it. We were debating between these three quarterbacks, just 1, 2 and 3 where they are. It was Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Matthew Stafford. 1, 2, and 3. Where would you put those guys? Where did you rank them? I went Rogers one, Stafford two, Brees three. Okay, I would go Rogers and then Breeze and then Stafford, but I don't know if that settles the argument there, But Rogers, with his regular season. I mean, Breeze's numbers are crazy too, and he did win a Super Bowl. Stafford had great numbers as well, got his Super Bowl. But Breeze, I would put Breeze over Stafford. Let's see. Shelley in California. Hi, Shelley. What's on your mind?

[C]

Hi. I was wondering if you can sing Happy Birthday to my husband. He watches your show every day. I wake up early and put it on for him.

[B]

Where is he right now, Shelly? He's sitting in the living room, watching your show. I'm in the bedroom. So he doesn't know that you're calling in, but it's a surprise.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Well, all right. And his name is what? Shelly Lowell.

[A]

L, O W E, L L. We're in California.

[C]

He's retired from the water department. I still work.

[B]

Does he know you're in, Shelly?

[C]

He knows I'm in the bedroom. Yes.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

What is he doing?

[B]

Get in there watching your show. He's sitting on his recliner watching your.

[C]

Show like he does every morning.

[B]

Attaboy.

[C]

Lol.

[B]

Okay, who turns him on more, me or you? God damn. What are you doing?

[C]

What?

[B]

Fair question. Shelley.

[C]

Oh, no. Don't put me up against you.

[B]

Alrighty, everybody ready here. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Are you doing in the recliner? Happy birthday. Oh, my God, you guys are the best. Thank you, Shelly. Thank you. You know, I thought it was an honest question. Looking for an honest answer from Noel. Well, maybe I should ask Noel, not Shell Lowell. Lol. Oh, we. Then we have to do it again. Happy birthday. He's got three L's in his name. Curtis in Illinois. Hi, Curtis. What's on your mind today? Morning, DP following up on your guys's.

[C]

Highest conversation last week. Real quick, Just want to see if.

[B]

6 foot isn't tall, what is your cutoff for being short?

[C]

And then also just wanted to see.

[B]

If any of the Danets had aspirations.

[C]

To be the host of their own.

[B]

Show or if they just were content being a Dan because they didn't want.

[C]

The stigma of a good Danette versus a good Dan.

[B]

Kind of like the Eric B.

[C]

Enemy.

[B]

You know, good coordinator, not a good head coach. By the way, what happened to all of these people who were Eric B. Enemy fans? They wanted him to get a job. Has anybody brought up Eric Biennami in two years? I mean, I would love to have seen him get a chance, but. Oh, my God, you would have thought that he was Lombardi. They were like, you got to give him a ch. Saying, not every coordinator should be a head coach. Now take that however you want to. But it. It's just not every coordinator should be a head coach. But what was the other. Oh, do you guys have aspirations? Don't. Can you live up to the stigma of being on this show and then going to start your own show? Todd, do you have any interest in hosting your own show? I like to entertain family and friends and make people laugh. I haven't given it a lot of thought to, like, host my own show. Maybe I could dabble in A pod thing. I've been talking to Dylan in the back. We might have some fun with a podcast, but that's the extent of it right now. Anyway. Why don't you entertain people on this show? Oh, I walked into that one, didn't I? Walked right into it. Yeah. Are you waiting to do that? Like, don't wait. I was going to bring out my personality, like, in spring of 28 or something.

[C]

Until then, I don't know.

[B]

I was going to say, what do you mean? You're working on your own podcast? It kind of feels like you have your own already, I guess. I'm just kidding. Saying he talks too much. That's what he's saying. I'm saying that talks too much on this show. No, like TED Talks. It's. Yeah, we used to do Todd Talks back in the day. Oh, I know. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Seaton, do you have any aspirations to host your own show? No, no. Like a sports talk show like this on the radio? No, no. I'll still be in the media after this, but I'm not going to do sports talk show. Marvin. No, I'd rather.

[C]

I want to be Paulie, not Dan. I want to produce sports radio, maybe a sports podcast.

[B]

Good sports conversation, Paulie. Yeah, stuff like football related, you know, college and pro football related. That'd be kind of attractive. Especially college football. Yes. All right, so there's your answer, Curtis. They are kind of dipping their toes into it. You mind if we start updating our resume during the segment or we should wait till after the show's over? We know what. We kind of know what we want to do next. It's a very dramatic pause just now. No, no. I thought there was something wrong with the screen there. I thought you got frozen for a second. Was that line worth getting out? Definitely not. Useless lie. Aaron in Pennsylvania. Hi, Aaron. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. I wanted to just bring up something on behalf of some other callers and listeners, rather. It seems like Todd is getting an exceptional amount of airtime since the beginning of the month, and I just wasn't sure if it had anything to do with some HR policy because October is anti bullying month. So I'd like to speak to whoever is in charge of that. Well, I'm in charge, and it feels like every month is anti bullying month when it comes to Todd. But Seaton has pointed this out that Todd has gotten a lot of airtime, that I could combine all the other three Danets versus Todd, and Todd would have more airtime. Yes. Todd. Which is fascinating because there have been many times over the years where when I haven't opened my mouth to like 10, 27. And you'll here today. Thanks for coming in. Didn't. Didn't know you were part of the show today. I would. In between maybe somewhere. I'm just saying that I was accused of that a lot more than talking too much. That I was too quiet. So we gotta kind of pick a. Pick a lane. Like I'm supposed to pick the left join middle. Somewhere in the middle. Somewhere in the middle. Dubious. Dubious. Yeah. Okay. Still sensitive about the left lane. Still sensitive about Dave Sims broadcasting talents? Yes, Paul. Yeah, I think moderation would be the word I'd use. Moderation on both sides, you know, like never tap out, never dominate. Okay. But you're good content. I will say that, that you are a treasure trove when it comes to content. It's a tough. It's a tough balance. You know, jump in, don't jump in. You're talking too much. You're not talking enough. I don't think there's really a formula for that. I'm a work in progress. No, there's. There's bad lot like you work hard to drop some bad lines.

[A]

That's fair.

[B]

So that's. That's the problem. You find that one gold nugget out of a thousand, that's.

[C]

You gotta hold on to that one.

[B]

Yeah, tell me about it. I know I am the one that has to find that gold nugget. Back to you in the studio. All righty, toddler, let's take a break here. Jimmy Rollins set to join us. We'll talk some baseball. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money Again, welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan starting with your local credit union. Shop online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt. When it weighs on you, it's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment, free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It may look different, but Native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture. It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for like, hundreds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taller Ornelas, who, with Rutherford Falls, became the first Native showrunner in television history. On the podcast Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story along with other Native stories such as the creation of the first Native Comic Con or the importance of Reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sage, Burn bridges on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

But the humility in knowing that life is this classroom that we should never graduate from is what is going to keep you growing, and that's all that matters. World Mental Health Day is around the corner. And on my podcast, just heal with Dr. J, I dive into what it really means to care for your mind, body and spirit. From breaking generational patterns to building emotional capacity, Healing is a journey and wholeness is the destination.

[A]

I'm gonna walk away feeling very healed and feeling like, yes, I'm gonna continue my healing journey and I'm gonna get some keys from you.

877 3DP show more of your phone calls coming up. Marvin sent me a note last night when he realized Jimmy Rollins was going to join us. And he said, you know that Jimmy wore Air Jordans. Was he the first baseball player to wear Air Jordans, Marvin?

[C]

I think it was. I think it was Derek Jeer, but I think Jimmy Rollins was a part of the next wave, like him and CC Sabathi and guys like that.

[B]

All right, well, let's ask Jimmy. The National League Divisional series continues on TBS. Game 3, Brewers, Cubs. That's at 5 Eastern. And then the Phillies at the Dodgers. Pregame coverage starts at 4:30 with Jimmy Pedro, Curtis Granderson, and the host, Adam Lefkoe. Jimmy, good to have you back on. Was Jeter the first to wear the Air Jordan?

[C]

That is correct. Jeter was the first, and I think it was followed by Andrew. And they, they had a. A domination on brand Jordan. No one else can really get in. And then they finally opened up the floodgates and let myself in. Cece. I think we both came in around 08.09, around that time. And then now it is a brand in baseball and it's, it's. It was a fun run to be with those guys.

[B]

What was it like, first time you met Jordan?

[C]

You know how they say when you meet someone and you're in awe and, you know, I've met a number of people. You don't really get that. It happened a couple of times. The first time I met Jay Z. The first time you met Mike. But Mike breaks through that ice. Like, you know, he's Michael. And it's like, do I say something? You know, he talks trash. You hear all the stories. So first time I ran into him, I just went up to him, like, Mike, you know what's happening? I didn't get the. I didn't get my contract this year. He looked at me. It's like, oh, you didn't get the memo? Or I bet we'll make it happen. Two years later, I run into him again. Like, Mike, I still don't have my cleats. Next year I was in them.

[B]

Allen Iverson said when he was around Jordan, Jordan has a glow about him.

[C]

Yes, I agree. And it's. It's hard to explain because. Do you physically see it? No, but there is an aura and an energy about him, and it's almost like if you get too close, you're step into his energy. So you let there be that personal space. But, you know, but. But the more you hang around him, you see him, you understand, He's. He's a guy, he loves to have fun. He serious about his business, and obviously we know how serious he is about his golf, but when you're in his presence, be ready to talk trash. Be ready to be able to give it back because he, like, he likes that jabbering back and forth. And it's almost like he's still uniform, but his uniform has just changed.

[B]

Who's the Jordan in baseball or who was the Jordan in baseball?

[C]

Was the Jordan. I mean, we, we can say who is. I mean, that's. Sh. Sh. Is the Jordan in baseball as we saw last year, you know, when he wasn't pitching, he said, okay, I can Let me go out and do a 50, 50 campaign. And he went out and did that. Prior to that. He's one of the MVPs. He's a Cy Young candidate. If you really want to put him, you know, on a mound all the time, it's almost. He can be whoever he wants when he wants. And we saw that with Mike. When playing. When it was time to turn up the defense, he would lock you down. But, you know, he was still going out there scoring. 28, 29, averaging and plus. So when it comes to winning, Shohei has a lot more to do. But he's definitely on the right track. He has a team, and he's going to be the guy that leads that team. Mike led the Bulls. He did it for three straight seasons. Took some years off and go play minor league baseball. Came back and won three more. That's the impact that Shohei has. He sells jerseys. He moves. He moves. Ticket prices, season holders, season ticket holders will for sure repurchase those tickets as long as he's on that team. And just what he's done for the game, expanded it globally the way Mike did for basketball. It's crazy to see.

[B]

Did you make fun of Michael's baseball abilities when you're around him?

[C]

You know what? I did not. Because I understand how difficult it was. And it was admirable that he went back to try to go do something that he loved as a child. Now, did he have the best swing? No. But I don't think it was about that for Mike. Did he have the best defense? No, I don't think it was about that for Mike. I think it was about attempting something that he had put aside for something that he was successful in to prove that he could also do it not just on the basketball court, but on a baseball field. Now, did it happen? No. Was it great for the kids? I got to play with them. I think so. They got to hang with the legend. They got to get on a customized bus. Because, you know, those bus rides in between mine league cities. No, they can be something. But being able to step away. And I think he had to prove something to himself that he can put. He can do anything that he put his mind to, even if it's not the level that he wanted to achieve. Going out there, putting yourself out there, being vulnerable is something that if you're someone that wants to try something, he's a great example. You don't have to be the best. If you try, anything can happen.

[B]

He's Jimmy Rollins. He's working with tbs Covering the nlds, he's got Brewers, Cubs, and then it'll be the Phillies at the Dodgers. Everybody throws a hundred now, right? Nobody. Nobody's worried about striking out. Like, you played in an era where that walk of shame back to the dugout, it hurt. But these guys, it's like, hey, I got my cuts, man. So what if I struck out?

[C]

You know, my rookie year, I want to say I strike out a hundred and like ten or fifteen times. When I got the spring training the next year, John Vukovich came up to me is like, we got to work on this. There's no way in the world you, with your skill, should strike out a hundred times ever. And that became my mission, to not strike out 100 times because it was embarrassing. Like I said, that walk of shame, it was. We understand striking out is part of the game, but as a leadoff hitter, my job is to put the ball in play, make something happen, use my speed, as they would like to say. And that's something I can argue against. But in today's game, they want you to get your ace wing off 12 to 15 times a game. And they figure, you know, with. With the analytics, that if you're getting your ace wing off and you're doing this 12 to 15 times a game, that's going to correlate to 30 to 40 home runs with runners on. How many more runs are you driving in, et cetera. But it's almost like they don't account for how many bats. You don't hit a home run. If you hit 50 home runs, Shohei's done, he hit 60, Barry's hit 73. There's still 300, 400 at best, that you're not hitting the home run. And if those 300, 400 bats, you don't hit home run, you strike out 150 of them. That's not good. That's not productive at all. But that's the way the game has come to be, at least in the regular season, because we're seeing in the postseason, that strategy doesn't work. You have to apply pressure. You have to consistently get going on base, get the pitcher in the stretch for numbers, for getting contracts. This is how they going to evaluate. But to win a championship, you have to have other parts of the game. And when you get to the playoffs, you're not all of a sudden going to change who you are.

[B]

Why are the Phillies in trouble?

[C]

They're not hitting. They're simply not hitting. I think their pitching has been good. There are teams that definitely relies on big swings, big moments. Schwarber had a great season. Chasing Ryan Howard's home on record. Harper, big swing. Harper, Trey Turner, who unfortunately got injured at the end, so he's kind of out of rhythm. But they're guys that relied literally on the big swing and they, they, they can't play a different style of baseball. We've seen it at times, but their game is built around that three run home run. And when you're facing pitching like the Dodgers have, that's not going to happen too often. Yes, you're going to face guys and they're going to have an off day. But in the playoffs you assume that everybody's going to be sharp. And Dodger pitching has been sharp, especially the starters. I mean, two games and we're getting into the fifth and sixth inning before we even get a runner on base. That's pretty tough to win ball games.

[B]

Take me into that home run at bat by Aaron Judge last night because it seemed like, seemed like they did exactly what they wanted to do. And that pitch is a pitch where you want to put it. I think I was amazed by it.

[C]

Yeah, it was a two strike pitch that almost hit him in his chest, you know, and for him to keep that ball fair. There are a few guys that I've played against that can do that that were power hitters. One was Bear, the other was Chef. You can never bring the ball in far enough because they know how to bring their hands inside the ball and they're strong enough that if they get the barrel to it, obviously it's going to go a long ways. But I thinking about it and last night and watching it, I was over at Pedro's house. We were on the lake hanging out and came back to watch the rest of the game. I was glad to see him have his moment. We know the struggles that he's had, not getting that big home run in the big moments. But you know, they had him where he wanted to. You threw a fastball for strike two up out over the plate. You see a swing underneath it and you're saying, yes, this is what we want. He's swinging underneath the ball, elevated. But I think what pictures, and I'm not on the mountain, but just looking at it, what is a high fastball to Aaron Judge is different to someone else. You throw a chest high to me, throw a chest high to Curtis Grandison or a guy even six, three, that's, that, that, that's a good pitch. But the Aaron Judge at 67 that ends up belt high. So as A pitcher. How do you say to yourself, I have to throw it basically head high to him? Which would. If, you know, if the catcher doesn't get it, it's a pass ball off the net, it's a different thing. But to see him have that moment, knowing that he hasn't had that moment, to keep it fair, I think he can finally take that deep breath. And you saw at home run he gave to the camera and he gave it a double look like, is this what you were asking for? He answered that bell. So it was a great moment for him. And hopefully, you know, he. He can get those demons out the way.

[B]

Okay, let me go back to. You were at Pedro Martinez's house. You said yes last night.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Yes. Okay. Is it like. Of all the baller houses you've been in, like, what's the. What's the most baller house that you've ever been in?

[C]

Wow. The most baller house I've ever been in. I would, I would. I would. I would honestly have to give it to Ryan Howard. His house that he had down in the Indian Rocks area, that was on a beach, bowling alley, a pool, a lagoon, a lazy river. It was, I think the main house was. Shoot, the main house may have been 20, 000 square feet and the guest house was 8,000. And it was a hallway, a wall. It was just everything you can imagine it was in that house. And it was on the beach like it was on. You stepped out, you see turtles nesting. You had the speed boats coming by, doing TMZ down in Clearwater beach, that was. That was probably the craziest. And you walk in and Ryan's a big guy, so everything he had was big. And you walk in and it's 30 foot Highlands, and I'm only 5 7, so I felt like a really small person walking in that house.

[B]

I bring this up a lot with my guys that there's certain sounds in sports. You know, it could be the ball going in a cup if you're. You're playing golf, or the, you know, the net when Steph Curry hits a shot, when the ball leaves Ohtani's bat, it sounds different than anybody else. And as a guy, you know, who out there at shortstop, you're not very far from the pitcher, and the pitcher knows there's certain sounds like, damn, I just gave up a home run. Can you remember, like, who had that sound where you go, that's gone.

[C]

There are a few guys I played with one Ryan Howard, I played against one Barry Chef Chipper. And it's It's. It's. It's hard. It's hard to explain and describe the sound, but when you. You hear it, you know, it. It's loud. It's an explosion. You can hear the bat compressing the core center of the ball. And people used to laugh at me, especially my teammates. Ryan, I'm an infielder. There's a velocity and a trajectory that the ball goes over my head, that there's no doubt that it's gone. I'm watching a hitter. I want to see what they're doing. And then right before the ball, you know, is caught or goes into the stands, I kind of give it a look. But there are a couple times that I had to take the exception because I wanted to watch the whole flight of the ball. And one was when Barry hit the ball off the McDonald sign in right center field and John Lieber's pitch. And so before the game, Libra comes in. He's like, hey, if Barry gets up and nobody on, I'm going to get it over with. And so we're all like, what are you talking about? He's like, I'm not going to waste any pitches on Barry. Every time I face him, he hits a home run. So if there's nobody on, I'm throwing a fastball right down the middle to get it off with. And so we all kind of look at each other like, there's no way. I. I hear you, but there's no way you're gonna do that. No one's. Whatever, Jon. So get the first batter out, get the second batter out. And so we all. I look at Chase, I look at Ryan. I forget, who's that third? It may have been. It may have been Pedro. No, maybe Pedro. Fleas or Placid Aplanco. We all kind of look at each other like, is this really going to happen? We shift over, first pitch, Black Cow. And I just turn over my head and it hit the McDonald's sign. That was the only thing that kept it from leaving the entire ballpark Park. And don't get me wrong, it was amazing. I was surprised that he actually did. And we all looked at each other like, this dude got some big cojones. He said, I'm gonna throw him a fastball, get it over with. And he did. And Barry did what he was supposed to do. So there are a couple guys that made that sound, but that one in particular, that was. That was one of the most amazing things that John lived up to. His word. And Barry hit it off the McDonald's side.

[B]

I was always amazed with Bonds that, that he might get one pitch per at bat, might get one pitch per bat, but he could make you pay with that and his strike zone. So he never went out of this like he knew that he had like a bread box, maybe a microwave. It wasn't very large there. But if you're in there, I'm gonna, I'm gonna make you pay. And I, I still marvel at that ability to be patient and not go, you know, fishing and pressing for this, you know, judge is doing this now. He's really got that strike zone compact. And that's when you see these guys go from good to great to great to hall of Famer. But Bonds would, no doubt about it. Maybe, maybe no doubt about it.

[C]

And as you said, that that was the amazing thing that he wasn't striking out. He was patient enough to take the walk. The times that they would pitch to him and the number of times that he wouldn't even get a chance to swing. Nobody on tie game, Barry comes up, intentional walk. He wasn't even getting a chance to swing the bat. So the times that he did, the proficiency of what he did, it was crazy. Even the year he had 73, I think he had 130 intentional walks. There's no doubt in my mind. He hits 100 home runs. It's that crazy. And I mean it is. If they pitch to him the way they pitch these guys now, and it's almost like analytics say we know how to get you out out, analytics, then I think they would have had to say, we understand that, but the human element says this pitcher is not going to execute that pitch. And if we don't that robot in a box, he's going to make sure it's 1 nothing, 2, nothing, 3 nothing, or a grand slam. And that's how crazy Barry Bonds is. And you know, everybody compares, you know, who's the goat? And they want to look at judges numbers, look at Shohei's numbers. And then when you put them next to Barry's, it's a different story. And it's. And, and I know kids didn't grow up watching Barry. They're watching these guys now. But for us that were fortunate enough to play with, against and watch Barry, it was, it was unworldly.

[B]

But even with the performance enhancing drugs, he still, if we leveled the playing field, Jimmy and I said everybody can use whatever they want to use. He would, he would have. And you got a pitch to him. It's like Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France. It felt like everybody else was cheating in the Tour de France, he was just that much better than everybody. And Bonds, you know, you can put an asterisk by it, but you still, he still had to hit that ball. And he got one pitch, I mean 100 still made. He would have hit 100 home runs. But he, one year he was, he got walked over 230 times.

[C]

I can't imagine that. I can't imagine that.

[B]

Amazing.

[C]

And I can't imagine guys are striking out 230 times now. He was going to walk 230 times.

[B]

I know, I know. A great job so far during the postseason. Hope you're enjoying it and we appreciate your time, Jimmy.

[C]

No, I appreciate it. D.P.

[B]

Thank you, ma'. Am. Jimmy Rollins. The NLDS on TBS, Brewers, Cubs 5 Eastern and then Phillies at the Dodgers. Pregame starts at 4:30 with Jimmy, Pedro Curtis and our good buddy Adam Lefkoe. Man, I love when you get in the weeds when you're talking baseball and stories and that, that's what you want. And these guys, you know, you play 162 games and there's so much opportunity for stories. But that sound, that sound, that sound never leave. And if you're a pitcher, I can still remember a pitch I threw. I was playing in this, it was a twilight league, but it was a semi pro league and Cincinnati. And I remember facing a guy and he hit a ball right over my head, right over the mound. And I can still hear it like I, I still have that, like, damn, this guy could have taken my head off. He hit, I thought I'm gonna throw a fastball by this guy. He played in the minor leagues, man, he hit a ball right over my head. And it was one of those where I don't know how close it was to hitting me, but it certainly sounded like it was close enough to hitting me. All right, we'll take a break. Last call for phone calls.

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may recreate the same problem a year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates. I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand that's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it.

It may look different, but native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia and on Burn Sage Burn Bridges we aim to explore that culture. It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for, like hundreds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Teller Ornelas, who, with Rutherford Falls, became the first Native showrunner in television history. On the podcast Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story along with other Native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic Con or the importance of Reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream.

Hearing from some Mets fans. Jimmy Rollins won the MVP, I believe in 2007. The Mets fans say David Wright deserved it over Jimmy Rollins. We'll get to phone calls. Final results Poll question this day in sports history. Griffin in Cincinnati. Hi, Griff. What's on your mind? Good morning, Dan. And Dan. I love the Joe Flacco trade yesterday. I just thought it was funny, but after sleeping on it, I still think it's funny. But I also love it because I think Tobin got a case of the screw. It's like Dwayne the Rock Johnson will post Instagram videos at 2am in the morning making like 15 pancakes and a glass Tequila calls it something else, but it's the screw. It's and it's a lot different than how the Bengals have done any personnel decision in the past. So congrats to new Tobin on having a case and good to Joe Flacker. All right. All right, Griffin. So Flacco has a chance to beat Green Bay twice in the same season. Has a quarterback ever done that where he played for a different team but also beat that team twice now I know you played the same team in your division twice, but I'm talking about playing for two different teams because Flacco has that opportunity. Trip in Vegas. Hi, Tripp. What's on your mind today? Hey, good morning, dp.

[C]

I look forward to seeing you guys.

[B]

Out here next month. I wanted to take a go back to yesterday when you're talking about tackling.

[C]

I want to take a shot at America's favorite bullseye. So for Fritzi, when it's meet Friday.

[B]

He can tackle that, I believe. But when it comes to left lane driving and being Mr.

[C]

Enthusiastic, he just needs to get out of the way because he can't tackle those problems.

[B]

Okay. All right. That's a little shot there. Time I have made, as you have mentioned as well. I'm more cognizant of what I'm doing in the. In the left lane. In the left lane. Yeah. I don't want to be that guy that everybody hates. I just. But I just don't like when someone's on my bumper. I don't. I don't. I don't like wearing the black cowboy hat. That's not my thing. Chance in Utah. Hi, Chance. What's on your mind today? ADP, what's going on?

[C]

First time, long time. Five, nine, one.

[B]

65.

[C]

Yeah, I'm thinking the Dodgers close it out tonight.

[B]

We're out on the golf course right now on hole three in Salt Lake City. Thank you, Chance. Thank you for that update. Yeah, yeah, I. Not sure what that had to do with the Dodgers, but he's on the third hole. Keep me posted on your score. Chance, Cam in Indiana. Hey, Cam, what's on your mind today? Hi, Dan. Do you remember my little sister Kinsley calling in yesterday? Yes, I do.

[C]

Well, I'm calling into one upper, and.

[B]

Paulie set it up perfectly. I wanted to let you guys know that I'm a healthy scratch from school today, going to my first Cubs game. All righty. Attaboy. Seeds get degrees. Well, have fun there, Cam. And we look forward to seeing the family next week. Thank you. Thank you for joining us. Vincent in Wisconsin. Hi, Vincent. What's on your mind today? Well, first of all, Cam, I'm sorry that you're gonna have to go see that your Cubs lose today in your first ever.

[C]

Cam, I'm feeling so bad for you.

[B]

Yeah, root for a better team. And the brooms are coming out today. Danny, did you see that play with PCA trying to jump 30ft in the air? Yeah, I. I call that a ridiculous effort. Play it.

[C]

It.

[B]

It's some like a showboating type of play. And I wonder. It reminded me of when Will Levitz.

[C]

Threw an interception and the ran ran.

[B]

With his head down really fast to try and catch the guy again.

[C]

I'm wondering if you have any ridiculous.

[B]

Effort plays that you could think of and do you guys get out of.

[C]

The way for people when they flash.

[B]

Their lights in the left lane? Yes, I do. Yeah. Because I don't know if it could be a medical emergency. Most times it's probably not. But I think just the courtesy of if I don't get out of the way, are they going to continue to flash? But yeah, the Pete Crow Armstrong fake hustle. I'm going to try to scale a 30 foot wall. Yeah. Paul the home run was at least 20ft over the head into the stands and he did the. I'm going to climb this. Yeah. This day in sports history, Paul, just a couple for you. I have Don Larson of the New York Yankees pitched the first perfect game in the history of the World Series 1956. And the Brooklyn Baseball Club announced moving the Dodgers to Los Angeles 1957. Okay, any poll updates? Do you want to share? Seton Heck yeah. Let's share some updates. After the Joe Flacco trade, what are the expectations for the Bengals? Divisional title? Have two has 2.1% of the vote. The AFC championship game has 2.2% of the vote. No playoffs though. Running away with that one at 73. Yeah, yeah. I just, I don't know, maybe there's something there. You have the weapons. You're expecting Joe, Joe, Joe Burrow to lead them to the postseason. You got Flacco and the, you know, same roster. So make some magic there, Joe. Stat of the day has been brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. So a lot of baseball coming up today and tonight. Recapping that Thursday night, it'll be the Giants and the Eagles. Let's go around the room. What we learned on the program. Todd, what'd you learn today? Jimmy Rollins says that giving your a swing and hitting a lot of home runs is all well and good, but if you're striking at 150 times, that's not hot. Good, good. Seaton. What did you learn today? Jimmy Rollins, great guest. Yeah, he was. He was a lot of fun. Marvin Paulie says never tap out, never dominate. Paulie Fritzy tried out for get up. Yeah, I think Greeny actually got a kick out of it. Your performance. Yeah, I think so. It was courtesy flush. What did I learn today we can't say it's impossible because it actually happened. But Aaron Judge turning on that pitch for a game tying homer last night. Night was pretty close to that. Thank you for the phone calls, emails, tweets, the all around support.
