"Ricky Henderson stolen base record is more safe than Jerry Rice's reception record. Because passing is going up, I mean, like Emmett Smith, you think he's pretty safe because split running backs all this stuff. I mean, Ricky Henderson's 500 ahead of the next closest guy and that guy was been dead for 30 years. It's really a joke. You'd have to play 20 years and be great. Was that Ricky to Lou Brock? Yeah, Lou Brock's at 9 38. Then a bunch of guys, Tim raines is up there. He's one of the more recent guys Vince Coleman. And air quoting recent guys. Yeah, see. The interesting advantage that Major League Baseball has over the NFL with these kinds of things is that they can implement the rules in minor leagues first and see if it works. And see how good it is. The NFL is like, well, let's just throw it out there and see what happens. Well, they're using the USFL. I think that's what the NFL is now doing. The average time of a 9 inning game in 2022. You guys want to take a guess? Yes, time. Two 46. No. Three 14. Nope. Marv. Three 20. No. Pauly, three O 7. Three O four. That's a 6 minute decline from 2021 when it was three ten. The time of the game has been rising consistently since 2014 to three hour mark. I just want I just want excitement in it. You can have a boring two and a half hour game. You can have an exciting three hour game. But getting movement, taking away the time, where you get in, get out of the box, get the ball, rub it up, go to the back of the mountain. Just a lot of dead time. You know? I still love a clock. Like all sporting events that when the clock strikes zero, then the game is over. two and a half hour baseball game timed. Yeah. So it's just you're on the clock at two 30. That's it. Unless, unless you go into extra innings, but just two hours and 30 minutes and you watch that clock tick down. We got 28 minutes to get a rally here. But you also have these rules of the pitch clock and by the way, you baseball announcers out there. Any of you announcers be careful, pitch, pause, clock. Just make sure that you do that. The upcoming season. Or a clock for pitchers. The right sound. Yes, time. You add extra time like they do in soccer while they were reviewing plays through the course of the game or the coaches came out to talk to somebody. If you want to. And then the game ends. Nobody knows what the game does. Don't get defensive. Nobody knows what the game is in. One out base is loaded. Game's over. Wait a second. That's it. Three two one. No, but you know, with soccer, they usually let you if you're on a run that they'll let the play play out. If let's say it's counting down and you're in your wind up, then you get to deliver that. Okay, so it's one out basis loaded, the guy pops out, navigates over. Two out bases loaded. Okay. What's the game plan? And we got two guys at square position. We're down by one. Yesterday. Every four years, Todd brings this up. Thank you.

"Got to get used to it. Even more reason to go to spring training, just so you can get a little more acclimated to what's going to go on. We got a clock for the hitters. We got a clock for the pitchers. The bases are bigger. No shifts anymore. We'll talk to Jeff passon from the mothership. He'll join us coming up here, final hour. Dan and the down at Stan Patrick show, good morning. If you're watching on peacock or streaming partner or listening on our radio affiliates around the country, iHeartRadio, Fox Sports radio, the entire lineup, carrying the Dan Patrick show. Poll question for the final hour would be what seat O'Connor? Poll question for the final hour Dan, the new rules in Major League Baseball are hokey or going to make the game better. You can only pick one of the two because they can still be hokey but make the game better. Maybe there's a better way to word that thing or do I just stick with it. You can stick with it. Yeah, you can stick with it. I think people get the idea. I'm okay with it, but this feels like baseball is at a crossroads. When you look at the draw of the NFL, that's 12 months out of the year. And I think if you're going to be baseball and reinvent yourself, what exactly do you want to be? Hey, we want to be something different. We want the games to be faster. I just want the games to be more interesting. We get caught up in, if somebody says, hey, this movie is three hours long. And then you watch it and you go, gosh. That was great. And then you can watch a two and a half hour movie and go boy, that was forever. Look at baseball. You go to a game, is there any movement? There's not. Might be a couple of home runs. A lot of strikeouts. And that's it. And I think what baseball is trying to get is movement, excitement, get the hitters into the batter's box, get the pitchers to pit, you know, all of these things. I just want quality, not the clock. Oh, the game was over and three hours and two minutes. Wow, that must have been a great game. Not necessarily. Yes, I just want to know why they're going after Ricky Henderson so directly. Oh, with the bases. Now the base. I mean, that was a safe record. Nobody steals bases anymore. He was going to be the king into infinity. I think it's still safe. They're going after Ricky Henderson. And directly. Okay. Jeff passing from the mothership ESPN senior baseball insider joining us from Scottsdale, Arizona. Jeff good to have you on. Where do you want to start with the rule change? The one rule change that you think will have the biggest change in baseball is going to be what? I think that the pitch clock is going to be the biggest change in Major League Baseball perhaps integration. Mike, I don't feel like I'm being a prisoner of the moment in saying that. I just look back at all the rules, changes throughout the years. And I don't know that I can find one that's going to have as demonstrable and effect on the game as the pitch clock does. Because you're right, like there are great three hour movies in there, terrible two and a half hour movies.

"Those two, it's really hard for me to get there. I remember Craig biggio was like that too. Craig biggio, pretty much everybody's definitely Hall of Famer. I'm like, ah, Lizzie. Is that what's in basketball? They've just completely blown it. Like the basketball Hall of Fame threshold is now like it's just shot to help. No, baseball's gotta be worse. Baseball. Now basketball is worse. How many can you vote for basketball? Basketball, they're just, they try to get like ten to 12 every year. So it's just getting worse and worse. Well, that's a baseball. You can vote for ten. And I think people will feel like they're not doing their job if they don't vote for ten. We were there for that. We were there for Hal baines. He was really good, but we were there the whole time. There was no how bane's conversations. This very good, then there's great and then there's excellent. I think these guys are like two levels below where they need to be. But this has been the case for a while, which is why my buddy Gus, his dad, when we were driving to that mets game that time and we were talking about how the Hall of Fame was getting to valued. And he came up with that pyramid idea. And this is why you need the pyramid because if we had the pyramid, Scott wrong gets in and he's on that ground floor. It's like, oh good, congratulations. But that was interesting. When the Ricky Henderson type gets in, and then it's like, oh, is he level three or level two? It's like a different argument. Instead, it's just like everybody's equal, which makes no sense. That's pretty good. Someone had the idea, it's a first of all, this would be a great event, but you have one chance to get in. I mean, how great that would be a nice pay per view. If you had one chance to get in and then you don't have to, you know, so you might get like 9 guys one year. And then not get anyone for like three years. That's the problem though. They want it to be an event. They need players getting in. I was watching the running man over the weekend. When was the last time you saw that movie? I couldn't even tell you. It's really good. I was like shocked by how good I can't believe they have them remade it.

Scarlett has got that look like you degenerate bar. What do you think a gambling in baseball? I know it's sounds like a tired subject. But it's big, it's huge, more states are coming on in game action of betting. It is here to stay. Oh, it's here to stay. And so right on the same lines with fantasy, you know, I think fantasy really propelled football and everything else. And it's not even really as much about watching the game as it is about falling players. But I think most of the baseball came to the conclusion of it's involving the fans so much that you have to open the doors to it. So that's why he starts seeing a lot more. I'm surprised. Where I played with the gambling and different things that went on with scrutiny, we had to go through after Pete Rose. You know, so it's kind of it shocked to my system, so to speak. Gambling, what? You know? But I see it now and I understand it angle with fan involvement and it really is an engagement for fans and it's helped the sport grow with people following it. So I think that's where they kind of had to side with, okay, here's what's going on. We have to hop in and get involved. Yeah, there's an argument to be made, though, that, I mean, and I get with legalized sports betting that you're going to have a lot of analytics and data so that people can look through them and figure out how to quantify their bets. But at the same time, with the explosion of statistics and analytics, we've seen other sports like football or basketball get more exciting, but there's an argument that the explosion of analytics and statistics have kind of ruined baseball has made the game more boring. Baseball was already very numbers have a very math heavy. Everything's done based on numbers in a way that the game is less exciting even though it might get a more optimized result. If you're just looking for wins. Well, you're dead, I'm scared. I think that's why we had to implement the rule changes we're seeing. The game slowed down. And it sounds like you're like, yeah. It absolutely did. Did we blame analytics and stats for that? Well, I really do. I think we look at the shift rule, okay? The increase of shifts, the defensive shifts where we're putting three or four defenders on one side to come up with the best plausible way to now. And then what we're telling hitters don't hit the ball the other way, batting average doesn't matter. We want you to hit home front. So if you guys have a problem, you're probably going to pull the ball. So then they throw defenders on one side of the field. And guys are hitting the ball into the shift instead of a way. And as a result, there was no base runners that run scoring went down. The batting average for the first time is the lowest since they lowered the mount in 1968. So there had to be a way to increase action. And I do believe that analytically, yes, we slowed the game down because of the efficiency of the defense and being able to implement the numbers. You spent 12 years in the majors. Ten with a Mariners. I know we've talked about a lot of changes with the everything pitch clock this and that, whatever. But in your era, what has changed compared to what you're seeing now. Well, I think one, the thought of getting a hit, hit it where the aim. So to speak, it's a big slug and that doesn't factor in the thinking of a lot of hitters today. They're trying to hit through them or hit it over them instead of hitting whether or not. The stolen base. I mean, that was one thing that was just, you know, I'll tell you guys a quick story. I think David brought this up earlier. I wanted to have stolen base title in 1987. I was the only guy in the decade that won outside of Ricky Henderson. Ricky was averaging like a hundred stills a year. And in 87, he got injured about May, he already had 30 stolen bases. And so the last day of the season that comes down to me and Willie Wilson of the Kansas City royal. We both have 59. I still a base. I win the title. This is over, we're not in the playoffs. I get home the next day in Seattle. My phone rings because we were down in Texas and I get back home to Seattle. Phone rings and it's Ricky Henderson. Ricky. He always talked to me in the third person. He'll say, hey, playing cards are gonna go, Ricky, got a sweet hand. That's how he talks. So I answer the phone. Hello. He says, Henderson here. What up, Rick? What's going on? Congratulate me, right? Uh huh. And he goes, 60 stolen bases. You ought to be ashamed. Click and hung on the phone. Are you hung up on Ricky? No, he hung up on me. That's great. That is statement. 60 stolen basically got a shame Click, hung up. And so you were asking, what's the difference? I think Ricky's Paul is hair out right now, seeing guys still in third and 40 bases of season. And even have that before the officer breaking that 30 or 40 stone bases. So that brought that story on. I figured it'd be entertaining. I have to say, though, watching someone steal base, it adds that element of a spontaneity, right? It's a mini drama within the bigger drama of the game itself. I remember as a tigers fan, Cecil Fielder, stole a base. And we lost our minds. No, the first basement. And you talk about a big dude. I'm like, there's no. He's been doing steel bases. You need bigger bases, man. Obsessed with trying to do it. Yeah. Oh, Harold Reynolds, man. You are the man. And I am so glad that you came back to join us, man, as old friend of the show. Harold Reynolds, you can watch him on the MLB network throughout the postseason. You are so kind to join us. Thank you for joining us right here on the Bloomberg business of sports. I appreciate it. Enjoy the run and we'll see who wins it at the end. I'll talk to you soon for sure. Thank you. Take care of them. Thank you. Harold Reynolds, man. You always enjoy talking with him. Especially when he compares the differences between when he played and the game today and he's right, I enjoyed watching the stolen bases. It's that was a fun part of the game when I was much younger and didn't have as much gray in my hair. It was exciting also to see Ricky Henderson and whether he is going to curl his fingers up into a ball. There are little tells, not that I'm a Ricky Henderson expert, but you

"Week explore the big money issues in the world of sports. I'm Michael Barr. I'm Scarlett foe. And I'm Damien SaaS hour. The 2022 MLB playoffs are underway and boy there is a buzz of excitement surrounding this year's postseason. Major League Baseball unveiled its newest playoff format with now 12 teams entering the fray and expansion to four best of three wild card series and the race to crown the next World Series champion leading into November. Yeah, if it takes place in New York, it's going to be a cold, cold series. And of course, the 2022 postseason format, not the only big changes that the MLB have implemented recently. Just a few months ago, commissioner rob Manfred announced new rule changes for 2023. We're talking a pitch timer, limits on defensive shifts, and even bigger bases to name just a few. Here's a commissioner rob Manfred. We've conducted thorough and ongoing research with our fans and certain things are really clear. Number one, fans want games with better pace. Two, fans want more action, more balls in play, and three fans want to see more of the athleticism of our great players. The rule changes we're announcing today have been thoroughly tested and refined for years in the minor leagues. As usual, Scarlett, on point, and luckily for us, we are joined by someone really knows the game of baseball as both a player and analyst for the MLB network, someone who can really help break down everything MLB. And we welcome to the Bloomberg business of sports show our good friend Harold Reynolds, welcome back, sir, to the Bloomberg business of sports. Man, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me on. You know, I really appreciate the math for not mentioning my name. He just said fans. Well, let me ask you, how do you, what do you think about all of those things that Manfred said? Can you break it down for us? Yeah, I think it's important, you know, our games one have been dragging and it's one thing to watch a long game that's another one that's not action. And at one point in time, the ball not being in play and I don't mean like a pitch ball. I mean, not hit or somebody's filming it running after there's something was four minutes and 26 seconds. So you're talking about ball one, ball two, strike one, strike two. It was never in play. And then with the ship rules and everything else with the shift defensively, it worked. Guys were hitting the ball right into the shift, then there was no action. So really, to implement these rules, it just had to pick up. We have some pictures that were taken 45, 50 seconds in between throwing a pitch. You know, they're looking at Michael signing. No. I don't know. Come on, that's garlic. Can you give me a better sign, okay? Should I throw dame on what we got? I mean, that's what happened. And we never got the bond in place. So that's why we had to implement the rules and really get this going. And then the last part, you know, really got a tremendous group of athletes now, just like all the other sports, just generationally, the bigger, stronger, faster, and it wasn't being highlighted in our sport. So I think all this needed to happen. Yeah, all of that, what you just described contributed to this feeling or this sense that baseball is boring. Certainly compared to football where anything could happen on any given Sunday in the stakes are really high because there aren't that many games. Has baseball just complicated things by making the season even longer and I don't know rather than giving you the highlights MLB has just dragged it out for longer and added more volume to it. Well, yeah. I mean, we've been playing it long seasons for a long time, but it's perception, right? I mean, absolutely it seems like it goes on forever. The other thing I like is not in the rule change is much, but the new player format because you're adding more teams like you're talking about before, but the biggest thing was by June or July and let's go see a long season Scarlett by June or July, we're headed to 80 some games and you already know what teams are going to be in the playoffs. Yeah. And this keeps more cities involved more teams involved and wanting to hang on to the players, not as much movement. So I think that's why it was more competitive down the stretch as well. So all these things had the factor in the changing the sport. Sahara, I mean, let's break it down here. You were an 87 80 at all, so you were three time gold glove winner. You were the only player outside of Ricky Henderson to lead the American League in stolen bases during the 1980s. See, I understand the elimination of the defensive shift. I understand the pitch clock, talk to me about the size of the bases. What a bigger base is gonna do. Oh, good question. What does that mean? Is that just, you know, is that just mean that it's gonna be easier for you to steal bases? Well, that's what they encouragement is. Three inches, and baseball is a game of inches. So they played it and tested it and over 8000 minor league games. All these rules have been tested. The shift rule, the pitch clocks, and then also the basis. And they walked away feeling like it was more of a safety measure than necessarily the three inches closer to another base. We're first baseman warrant up the line getting hit quite as much and things like that. So that was kind of their thought behind it. I reacted the same way you did, Damian. At first bases. Except they could put sponsorship on the bases, the bigger bases, right? Hey, they can do a lot of things that you can really market. I mean, hopefully we don't turn into NASCAR with stickers all over the place. If it helps fans get engaged in the game, then we'll do it. But that was kind of the thought behind the basis. And one little caveat that goes with that is the pick off rules. Pictures now with a runner on, you can say you're on first base. You can only throw over twice. And if I go and make them the third attempt to throw over the first base, I either have to pick that player off or I lose a strike. It becomes a ball or a box. So they're really encouraging and forcing action. And that's what these rules are for. And I'll leave it with this, but I'll let you guys come back with another question on all the rules. Everything will be looked at and adjusted along the way, but just getting it on the books and getting guys moving towards these things is where we need to be. And then we'll make adjustments on what flies or whatnot. Maybe the bases need to be ten inches bigger. They're going to make adjustments along the way though. Well, you know what happens when you mix acids and bases? Okay, I'm sorry. I got to ask you about Aaron judge and the home run chase. Barry Bonds did hit a bunch of home runs too. Somewhere in the 70s, does that not count anymore? It is definitely in the racks of books. It's a real difficult one. Do you throw an asterisk in there? None of those guys tested positive for steroids, even though we've had some admissions and we can all come to our own conclusion that has probably leaning more towards steroid use than not. But it just comes down really to preference. I think everybody's opens their own interpretation. Up next on the show, we continue our conversation with Harold Reynolds as we discuss more about baseball

And so the last day of the season that comes down to me and Willie Wilson of the Kansas City royal. We both have 59. I still a base. I win the title. And over, we're not the playoffs. I get home the next day in Seattle. My phone rings because we were down in Texas and I get back home to Seattle. Phone rings and it's Ricky Henderson. Ricky. He always talked to me in the third person. He'll say, hey, playing cards are gonna go. Ricky got sweet hands. That's how he talks. So I answer the phone. Hello. He says, Henderson here. Today, what up, Rick? Congratulate me, right? Uh huh. And he goes, 60 stolen bases. You ought to be ashamed. Are you hung up on Ricky? No, he hung up on me. That's great. 60 stolen vegetal. Click. Hung up. And so you were asking, what's the difference? I think Ricky's pulled his hair out right now, seeing guys still in third and 40 bases of season. And even have that before the all star break, he'd have 30 or 40 stone bases. So that brought that story on. I figured it'd be entertaining. You might enjoy that. I have to say, though, watching someone steal base, it adds that element of a spontaneity, right? It's a mini drama within the bigger drama of the game itself. I remember as a tigers fan, Cecil Fielder, stole a base, and we lost our minds. No, the first baseman suspected. And you talk about a big dude. I'm like, there's no. This placement don't steal bases. You need bigger bases, man, obsessive kind of spirit. Yeah. Oh, Harold Reynolds, man. You are the man. And I am so glad that you came back to join us, man, is old friend of the show. Harold Reynolds, you can watch him on the MLB network throughout the postseason. You are so kind to join us. Thank you for joining us right here on the Bloomberg business of sports. I appreciate it. Enjoy the run and we'll see who ended at the end. I'll talk to you soon for you. Thank you. Take care of them. Thank you. Harold Reynolds, man. You always enjoy talking with him. Especially when he compares the differences between when he played and the game today and he's right, I enjoyed watching the stolen bases. It's that was a fun part of the game when I was much younger and didn't have as much gray in my hair. It was exciting also to see Rickey Henderson and whether he was going to curl his fingers up into a ball. There are a little tells, not that I'm a Ricky Henderson expert, but you just knew that something was going to happen one way or another. And it added this element of unexpected spontaneity to a game that has so few moments of spontaneity now. Leave it to Michael Barr to somehow we're talking about stolen bases and somehow he brings Detroit, Tiger's first basement, Cecil fielders. Always conversation. I mean, I don't think, I mean, I barely saw him get up the line. That's unbelievable. When he stole it, he ran the base. He stole it or he walked over. It was probably me trying to throw him out at second. But I'll never forget that. I was like, that was really cool, man. My goal

"Thanks for joining us on the Bloomberg business of sports show where we explore the big money issues of the world of sports. I'm Michael Barr. I'm scarlet fu, and we have with us Howard Bryant. He is author of Ricky, the life and legend of an American original. And of course, when we say Ricky, there are only so many players you know on a first name basis, this Ricky is Ricky Henderson, who holds the all time major league records for career stolen bases, runs unintentional walks and lead off home runs. Howard, Ricky, in many ways, and you make this case in your book is a unicorn because the stuff he does, he does better than anyone else, stealing bases, for instance. But in 2022, stealing bases doesn't matter to the analytics guys and ultimately the owners, right? Stealing basis leadoff owners, not as much of a priority for clubs that are pursuing men on base winning records, championships, talk a little bit about how player like him would survive in 2022. Well, you're right about the stowaway basis guy, but they'll take the home runs. They'll still take every home run they can get it. Yeah, but they want it with a couple of men on base too, right? Well, you know what? I'm so glad you said that because that is the nuance. I remember at one point being in spring training and talking to Billy bean and the Asian manager and of course The Godfather of the Moneyball era. And I said to him, what would Ricky be today? And he said, would be advanced metrics, Ricky's even better than he was back then. And you couldn't pay Ricky enough today. Today, I said, well, who is the cop? He just was a conference Mike Trout, who's the best player in the game right now. And he said that really doesn't have my child's power. But he's got plenty of power to hit the ball out of the ballpark. We would probably just shift Ricky's categories. We would shift his columns. We would deemphasize his speed and we would emphasize his power. We would take him probably out of the leadoff spot in front of him in the three spot. So, as you said, so he could hit home runs with men on base. And I listened to that and he said, well, you know, and because Ricky's got such a phenomenal eye, he's still going to walk a hundred times. So he's just going to be he can play in any era. And I should have thinking about this. And I'm thinking, wait a minute. A Ricky Henderson whose speed is deemphasized and whose power is emphasized, who's not hitting in the lead up, but who's not stealing 75 to a hundred bases every year is still a great player, but is it really endless? I mean, part of what made Ricky grape wasn't his ability to hit home runs a lot of guys to get home runs. It was where he did it, how he did it. And how different he was from the position that he was played, which was the leadoff guy who was supposed to be a table center. So I absolutely understood what Billy was saying. But I also think that if you take Ricky today and you don't let him steal and you don't let him do the thing that made him who he was, I think he's less of a player, even if the numbers, even if the power numbers are the same. On the other hand, I talked to Joe Maddie who was manager of the angels who was fired earlier this year. And he told me that, look, when you're trying to steal a base, in the south out there timing you. If the picture gets to the plate of his plate delivery is in 1.2 seconds or less, you have no chance to steal the base. You are not allowed to steal your chances of being thrown out or extremely high. We're not going to let it happen. Except him with these cases that he tells me this story about how when Ricky was playing with him at the angels in 97, Ricky was beating the picture, even at 1.2 and 1.1

And i was in i was in thirty fourth and eighth. And then we go up to mid town where trump tower was and then uh donald trump would always have these press conferences in the lobby. But there was this waterfall that he had an all of this noise. And you'd have a press conference where you'd hear the waterfall and doug flutie or herschel walker. Donald trump would be there talking. The audio is not very good of those press conferences entertaining but the audio is not very good and a few played at some of the trump golf courses. He loves waterfalls played. two of them and Both of them had waterfalls or something like that. Let me see. Was there anything else Nineteen sixty burt.

Whose career would you have wanted with the hall of fame induction tonight derek. Jeter beat out ricky henderson. Ken griffey junior and marian rivera. Yes he did. Cal ripken second. I don't know if there's a wrong answer. I don't know if there's a right answer with. I mentioned this earlier. We talked a little bit about this and rasheed wallace. Who may forget when he played or how often he played against lebron james but he was on a podcast on barstool million dollars worth of game podcast and had this to say about lebron james in my era he probably probably would have done good because his physical stature him being a little bit bigger than a majority interest so he probably would have held his own. I don't think he would have been as successful as he is. Now like now is man. Yeah i mean like. I don't young doing it. I mean so but it was a whole different arabic gambro so be solved. I told you at least know. I think he will held his own. I can't necessarily say he would have been a beast. But i think he would have held his own. Feels like he did hold his own against the pistons when he played against him. You know. keep in mind paul. Pierce has a problem with lebron. Paul pierce wasn't beating lebron until they brought in kevin garnett. And ray out. Paul pierce can you know. He was great but he was no match for. Lebron they brought in garnett and ray ray and rondo and they were better than lebron james as for the pistons team and the brawn came in and scored forty eight on you in a playoff game including twenty five consecutive points including a layup with two seconds to go to win it. Rasheed may not remember that or may choose not to remember that. Yeah phone or she'd wallace was listed six ten to twenty five. Lebron james is listed. Six nine to sixty lebron was going to be able to hold his own. I you know you get used to the contact. You'll get used to the style. But also i mean you learn to play in the era. He would have been a lot more physical not taking jump shots taken to the hoop getting fouled all the time and then eventually gets the star treatment that i mean you had true star treatment back then it always felt like if jordan drove to the hoop they were going to pick out. Somebody in the foul was on them whether they were close to jordan or not. Yeah mclovin yeah you say this about trae young and steph curry not the biggest strongest guy in the game. Lebron would have been stronger than any of these guys. Well except for like oakley's itself. Well you would have been able to put your hand. Well oakley couldn't cover lebron by the bronze size would have made him a great to that. He's very big first of all. He's big but he's athletic. He's he's a very fast player when he runs. He covers a lot of ground. He's fast you know steph and trae young you'd be able to put your hand on them and that's the big difference in today's nba. I can't do a four ammonia camp. I can't hand check you back. Then they would be able to do that to lebron. But how many guys would matchup size-wise with lebron back. Then if i take. Somebody's six nine to sixty and he's handling the ball and he's probably the best athletes on the floor. I like my chances mclovin on him. He's too anthony mason. That would have been a good man. Anthony mason six six. Anyone do anything that's true. He was big though He was a mike. Tyson like looking power forward character. He always had a design cut out his hair.

"A biography of ricky henderson called rookie the life and legend of an american original and he is an american original ricky. You know it's funny like they always say like when i did the hank aaron biography. People told me that at the end of the day. At some point you're going to hate your subject and that's really was never true with hank. Aaron that was never really true with hank. Aaron with ricky. You rick rookies amazing. I mean we. It's funny that sort of come full circle here because we're talking about otani and talking to our trout and talk about face of the game one of the reasons. Why ricky is so rehabilitated. Right now because the game that had personality like him. Since i mean just a guy who is just bursting personality and when you were talking about a one of the things that i was thinking about was we are marveling at what he's doing but we're not marveling at him because we don't know him whereas with ricky. You eventually get to do both because at personality just comes out you know. He's got bags of personality. Yeah and news charles. Barkley like figure in the sense that you kind of had to be there to see what it was but the advance numbers tells you that he actually was better than we thought. He was time because we thought that time. I was going to say well at the time. Everybody thought he was not as good as he was. he was in. That is thing when people talk about ricky. Because ricky was ahead of his time in so many ways and ricky was difficult to play with and ricky was all these different things and he was on his own program and quirky and this and that ricky henderson was balling well. He had a fundamental understanding of baseball. That i've never heard anybody else articulate. Which is my goal is to score here. People talk about baseball in terms of. I'm here to score. Know what is the point of the game yet to score runs and so people think about what i'm going to swing the bat and then get other people's scores. He's like no no no. I'm gonna score. I'm going to get here. I'm going to get there. We're going to get here there real fast. And that's why you go ahead and the thing we laws ricky because we coming up on time but this is the biggest one. What if ricky henderson were not trying to be like his friends when he was a kid. Which is why he bats right handed. Even though he throws lift ricky henderson had been a left handed hitter. What are we talking about. When are we talking about more. Stolen bases more hits more home runs. Ib he in probably a lot of ways is even better and he was unreal. Than i mean and i was just gonna say the last thing about that was when people say he's thinking about ricky he could have been even better. How much better could he is. Fourteen hundred fourteen hundred basis. I mean the numbers he. He's in that category where you to start looking. And it wasn't just the fact that he was a great player he demolished the competition. He held the all time stolen base record for twelve years as an active player. You usually break records at the end. Not in the middle. He brought that regularly and his thirteen year is the that he was thirty. Two when he broke the all time record. Yes oh like forty basis at thirty seven. He stole sixty six bases at thirty nine. That's what it was. That's what nineteen eight sixty six moral of the story. Stretch he in kareem abdul-jabbar figured that out the key to longevity is flexibility flexibility.

"The white sox used to have their games and you were a part of the broadcasts and I think it's interesting because of the dynamic of the fan base because of the dynamic of baseball and because of a lot of things but also because people just feel the need to fire opinions immediately on on social media. Am i way off base. Oh i think everybody has opinions it just now. We have a way to get them out there. And i'm not. I mean for me personally. I am more than comfortable with being disagreed with. Because i feel like that happens a lot so when i if i do tweet something. I'm not expecting everybody to be on board with what i just said. I didn't. i didn't phrase that right like it's like you want. I feel like some people are motivated by crafting. A tweet in a way that a lot of people be like. Yeah rabble rabble rabble. Let's go and re tweet and like it. A bit of the echo chamber. That like there isn't really some of that or the people that do the re tweet thing and then say like wow or like this above it like i also think yeah on a base level i think tony larussa 's wrong here and i was actually defender of tony larussa. Which is weird. Because when he was the cardinals manager. Like i had issues with them every night but when the white sox hired him i was like people are overreacting to this. I don't know if you remember that day but it got a little bit racial. It was like. Oh he's he's gonna take away the fun of that clubhouse he's going to will never respect that he's going to bench tim anderson for bat flips and i like you guys realized that he managed like ricky henderson like this. This guys had a lot of eccentric characters in his clubhouse of all races and creeds. Like i think he's just because he's like an older guy and and maybe that was a fair point that he maybe he's too old to manage but then the dui stuff came out and and he didn't know the written rules of baseball about that. You're allowed to anyone you want to on on second base and extra innings so he had liam hendriks out there one night and then with the your mean mercedes thing who cares my biggest thing is..

Dodgers complete deal for Betts, Price
"Hairston junior of course former major league player world champion with the Yankees And of course the dodgers address analysts for Spectral Sports Net L. A. Jerry. Welcome to the PODCAST. How you doing very well very well? Yes on in Wednesday afternoon four o'clock eastern time. The big press conference at Dodger Stadium. Yes mookie Betts and David price coming to Los Angeles. I know you got to like train and your thoughts. I'm extremely excited. You know the dodgers the last few years. I've put themselves in position to possibly win a world series. It hasn't happened but I really believe adding guy like Mookie Betts in my opinion five baseball ballplayer all in all the major leagues. Excellent top of the order hitter. You know I think this is. He's kind of like the generations. Ricky Henderson excellent speed is they're gonNA NOT GONNA steal a hundred thirty basis because nobody does that anymore really. Nobody did that with ricky played But he gives you speed at the top power A great outfielder in right field. And you put him in the lineup with next month cody bellinger Justin Turner And so on and so forth this is arguably the best lineup and all of baseball and then add to This dodge rotation healthy David Price. Who Brings in championship type pedigree and I really believe? He's GonNa be pitching with a chip on his shoulder. I'm having something to prove the season so I'm excited for the dodgers and the city of La. Jerry dodgers needed a good right handed bat. That lineup is loaded with lefties. This bets bets is going to help that isn't he. Absolutely you know anytime you get a chance to Have the best players in all of baseball. And you're on your lineup. She'd He'd be in your lineup. It's GONNA help but you're always looking for balance and you know like you mentioned. The dodgers were heavy left handed The last two years with Jock Petersen Jason Cory seager cody bellinger Max money. There's nothing wrong with having left handed power but you WANNA kinda offset that a little bit especially with the emergence of Gavin Luxa the new Start second base going to the dodgers have. He's a left handed batter. So you WanNa make sure you balanced when you're facing writings and left these Throughout the season the playoffs so why not not get arguably the best right handed hitting outfielder outside of my trout in base going. That's looking back and Jerry. You don't look at this as as has some sort of rental you don't make a trade for guy player like Mookie Betts and not be willing to sign this guy who can be a free agent. After next year you fully the expect. The dodgers to ante up and paid has got to be a dodger for a long time. Don't you absolutely I liken this to like an Anthony Davis you you know you. Trade for Anthony Davis get him in the fold let them see. La Let him be Laker and see how great it is to be living in La very similar with mookie Betts. You get him over here here. Let them play in this ballpark. Be a dodger Every day Get accustomed to you know the lifestyle. LA which. Really second to none. Being in the bright lights of Hollywood. I I think he's going to love it here and WanNa sign back and certainly. The dodgers have the resources to sign a guy like me or about so. Hopefully he's comfortable here which I think he will be. And we'll love to play here because everybody played here including myself has a loved. But I'm not putting on that dodger. Blue Guess on inside the park a podcast is of course Jerry Hairston junior former major league player and analyst for the dodgers in their TV broadcasts The other part is MOOKIE BETTS AND PRICE COM from Boston and they're under a cloud of suspicion. They're under investigation for what went down with their ex manager. Now Alex Cora and the dodgers chargers got a bronco event they lost in the world series in two thousand eighteen to the red sox. Where do you make of that? Where Mookie Betts and David Price could possibly be implemented uh implicated and talk about that they took part in what could wind up being yet? Another cheating scandal baseball. Well you know what I've heard it. You know before the the commissioner ruled on the Astros. We'd heard rumblings for a couple of weeks. What was coming down the road and we knew it was pretty pretty bad We know that the commission she's GonNa ruin the red SOx pretty pretty quickly. That's what we're hearing And we've also heard it's not nearly as bad as the Astros so I'm kind of banking on that anytime you play a team in the world series and the Super Bowl or the or the NBA finals. You WanNa make sure both sides are on the up and up. And I'm hoping that was the case with the with the Red Sox I'm hoping Alex Cora bidding implement everything that he has with Houston in Boston but that's yet to be seen But you know now that is the guys like Bats and David Price on the fold You gotta wait and see. I'm hoping they weren't a part of it. Obviously David price being a pitcher. Sure certainly wasn't that part of it because it was on the offensive side of the ball. And I'm hoping mookie wasn't in wasn't a part of that as well so that's got to be seen Bob Open for the good in

I'm doing great excellent. You know, it's funny this week. I heard I don't know if you heard this. But. Greg Williams who to me. Why don't really work in Cleveland locally in the week? And I have no desire for Greg Williams to remain the long-term coach Gregg Williams. I think he's about as old school is old school gets and he referred to some advanced analytics this week. And I almost was brought to tears Sam because well, I think I think that all sports need to have a good balance between old school scouting and new school analytics you'll so many old school football guys are so hesitant look where we are in baseball. Now. Right. The sport is completely run. Everybody has an analytics department in basketball and football is dragging their feet a little bit more in some organizations, but the here an old school coach like Greg Williams referred to some advanced analytics. That was that was wild for me to hear it must have. I don't know if you heard it. But it probably would've made you happy. If you did. Yeah. I think you're right football is behind baseball. And how that kind of stuff is gone, but everybody understands that it can help you how you present it to all of these people know, so head coaches are often the last guy to get on board. But it's because you need to present it to them in in the right away. Now, there's a ton of ways that say the PS database can help is those guys. But if you come to them initially where you know, something they don't wanna hear they're not going to buy. But if you immediately show them something, you know, a fancy pretty grasp the chosen exactly what they've been saying for years, suddenly they're all on board. So I think a lot of teams the league you're just starting to sort of see this time where the analytics guys or people that have been using the stuff within the Bill. Building for years are finally starting to figure out how to present it to coaches added presented to general manager is and you know, the guys bad again in front of the media. And that's when you're starting to see this filter out. I think it's been used a lot within the building for years already. But now we're starting to see those guys use it on a daily basis and get the headline stuff sent to them in a way that they're they're much more comfortable with gesturing at an and actually taking it on board. We're talking with Sam Monson pro football focus lead analysts Sam. Baker Mayfield has had a tremendous season. As a rookie as put up some big old school numbers if you will. But when when you went from a pro football, focus perspective when you guys run the numbers on what he's done. How would how does he great out compared to some other rookie quarterback's of the past? Yeah. I think you do need to go to quarterbacks with a pass because he hadn't shoulders above any other rookie season right now. He's a top ten grade quarterback in the NFL. He's tense overall. Just one physician behind Russell Wilson. So you're already talking about it really really well graded player right off the five. And obviously pro football focus was very high invade your Mayfield coming out were the guy is the winter by for him saying that he was the best prospect in this draft in it really wasn't close to the next guy. I think so far. That's that is being born out. We have seen better performances in the past rookies. I think that twenty twelve season was a pretty incredible year for rookie performances. Obviously it didn't last because RG three in particular had a phenomenal season that year, and then tours and really hasn't been the same player since. But you know, Baker Mayfield is looking as good as we've seen any rookie quarterback. Look probably dating by twenty twelve season. We're seeing some really impressive play from him. And I think his play generally has been better than even the statistics suggest because you had one of the highest rates in the NFL right five and drop rates. And unlike most of the times when a receiver drops the ball, it's an incomplete passes. It's not doing that much damage to your passer rating, or whatever but Baker mayfield's have multiple assets that have been hit his receivers and my hands and ended up as interceptions. So those are taking a sledgehammer to operating over the course of the season. It's ninety three. Point four right now. And this is a season where passing is exploded operating ninety three point four is nice great at the moment. But it's his performance has been way better than that. We're talking with Sam Monson lead analyst pro football, focus Sam, let's talk about another rookie and that saquon Barkley who probably be battling Baker Mayfield for rookie of the year. From an offensive standpoint. There's been other good rookie running back but saquon Barkley make over two thousand total yards this season. How does he compare to Todd Gurley Leonard four nets and some of the other big rookie seasons from running backs? Yeah. I mean saquon Barkley just moved into first edition CFS running back rankings. He's the the number one guy right now through the through part of the season. He's been incredible. He's been everything that everybody who was championing him saying he would be coming out. I think he's been better than we thought. He might be there. The idea that he was a perfect running back prospect that don't think really holds up work holes in his game in particular. This tendency to to be a bit. Reggie Bush in terms of wanting to balance everything outside to look for that clay, but he's gotten a lot better in his first year at not doing that at taking ugly yards when they're there. And that's all there to be had. And it's still maximizing goes explosive plays getting huge games. Those are there. So he has been fantastic. I think again he's been as good as any rookie running back the receipt for a number of years. Really? He's I guess he's played as well. As Alvin Kamara did last year as a rookie on he's done more fulltime base. So he already has you know, two hundred more snaps than Kamara managed all last season playing that same kind of rate is Amari Cooper. Has memorial Cooper's play been much better. Or is just a the players around him made him much better. I think it's a bit of both, you know, playing wide receiver it so difficult to play. Well, if the ball isn't coming in your direction off the ball is coming in your direction in attachable manner. Having you can do about it. There's only so much fancy route running against air. You can do if the ball isn't coming your way. So I think we're seeing Amari Cooper was always a quality route runaround player that would get consistently open. And now we're seeing what happens when you target that guy. He's still a very good player and I play put up big numbers. And obviously, that's that's meaning that his greatest better because he's being given the ball and that talent is being maximized. So you know, I think that that was always there that that talent that play was always inherited his game. Even in Oakland. The raiders just weren't making use of it. We're talking with Sam Monson pro football focus lead analyst. Sam. I know you guys today had an article about projecting Cuyler Murray's pro potential. I'm curious because obviously he's a top ten pick and major league baseball. He's giving compared to Ricky Henderson. He signed a four and a half million dollar bonus. There would have to give it back obviously at a even a better year than Baker Mayfield did this past year in college, which is hard to believe. But obviously, you know, people make a thing about the thing about Baker mayfield's hike, which I thought was over rated. But obviously calamari isn't even close those big as as Baker Mayfield. A what is his potential d do you think he could be a good NFL quarterback? I think he could be, you know, you're right people that the highest the big question Mark because people did make an issue out of Baker Mayfield. Tighter on Baker Mayfield is short for an NFL quarterback. But not, you know, it's not unprecedented. We've seen quarterbacks Baker Mayfield type successful in the past. They're not obviously, not as many as there are as you know, six with three quarterbacks, but those guys have existed and they've been good in the past. I don't I don't know that we've ever seen quarterback that is Kyla Murray's Hite house significant success at the end up, right? You know, he is going to be when we get the official number on him. If it ever gets that far he's going to be significantly shorter than even a guy like Russell Wilson. And you would be in legitimately uncharted territory. When it comes to that. Now, if you're going to do that, you have to be there has to be something else to say, well, okay. That's not going to be a problem because of this and his grading has been incredible. His is great this season at Oklahoma has been basically everything is as as good. As Baker mayfield's grade had been on that was the best we've ever seen from a quarterback, right? The best seasons we've ever seen at college with one of his own. So he has a level of the best play. We've ever seen coming out of college from a college quarterback. And we've been doing this going back to two thousand fourteen but we've seen some pretty good quarterbacks over that's fine. You know, we went back, and we also graded James Winstons freshman seasons. We have got Carson Wentz you got Jared Goff. We've got right. And they got all these guys and Carl Amari stacks up to those guys. Sorry.
