Pirates shortstop O'Neil Cruz is the most electric player in baseball

This guy might be the most electric player I've ever seen in my life. 6'7" he's a shortstop. He ran 31.5 miles per hour. Hardest throw by an infielder in Major League Baseball this year, he threw a ball from shortstop to first 96.7 miles per hour. I am buying all my stock and O'Neil Cruz right now.

Cruz has lived up to the 'electric' billing with record-breaking exit velocities and arm strength, though he is still developing into a complete superstar.

I am a huge LIV Golf fan because the golfers are good and it's free on YouTube

I've been watching the LIV Tour since it started. I will continue to watch it. I'm a huge LIV fan. I'm just like put sports in front of me if they're entertaining and good golfers, I'll probably tune in, especially if it's free on YouTube.

This is a personal preference, though LIV did eventually move off YouTube to the CW, making his 'free on YouTube' point partially incorrect later.

Brooks Koepka joined LIV Golf because he doesn't enjoy the grind of regular PGA events

I wasn't surprised that Brooks [Koepka] is going up. His brother's on the tour. I also think like there hasn't been anyone who shocked me... Brooks has battled some knee injuries. He doesn't love playing a regular PGA events all the time... He shows up for the majors.

This aligns with Koepka's own later admissions in 'Full Swing' about his health struggles and the appeal of the LIV schedule.

The Lightning are perfectly set up to win the Stanley Cup if they win Game 4

The Lightning are set up so perfectly where they've done this now a few times in these playoffs where they start slow in a series. And so if they win game four, you're just going to be like, well, here it goes. It's happening again.

The Lightning lost Game 4 in overtime to the Avalanche and eventually lost the series 4-2.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
