Jeff Passan on the Dan Patrick Show Full Interview | 3/28/24

[@rodrigoortiz7361]

This channel went from ZERO advertisement to double adds per video than a normal channel… Cmon man!

[@donsolos]

Jeff is always great. He actually makes me interested in baseball. Need more

[@jonosay854]

I don't even watch Baseball, but I listen to all of Jeff's interviews when he is on shows that I watch

[@lukegodlewski6518]

I pitched in high school, was a senior last year. I absolutely wanted to be the ace and took pride in going deep into games. It’s becoming a lost art.

[@tacotom3492]

Completely agree. At your age all I was concerned about was getting a hit and or getting on base then to steal 2nd... Now I wouldnt even know what HS kids are being taught 😂

[@mcleanse1382]

My favorite closer transformation was John Smoltz who went from the mustache as a starter to the fu manchu as a closer.

[@ernestvernon9658]

First ad I’ve ever seen on this channel

[@tfderpin]

Happy opening day folks

[@brokenleveeIV]

I dont know how Manfred lets the A's owner run a team still. I feel for Oakland faithful.

[@djardine2520]

Roster construction could be mandated to change starting pitching usage. If teams could only carry 10 or 11 pitchers, they’d have to push their starters to go deeper in their games.

[@juanortuno565]

Jett spewing some PMS toxicity in the end.

[@cindyfagerstrom8825]

Love Passan. Can't believe the Dodgers are planning on starting Betts at SS and the Yankees, Judge in CF, again. Some games here and there, but not the entire season. And yeah, like I'm going to Vegas to watch bad baseball.

[@cindyfagerstrom8825]

The "best" pitchers have always been starters. Until the age of "heat", most relievers were failed starters or junk pitchers. Unhittable sinkers could still be the rage.

[@donnieashley116]

Zack Wheeler is 34 with zero Cy Young’s and is on the way to the HOF???

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Now pitching..ing…ing…ing…… Dan Patrick…ick…ick…ick 😂 Throws 2 pitches, and gets another save. What a slider. 😂

[@FarAwayEyes69]

Dan Patrick does't know BASEBALL AT ALL ! GREAT QUESTIONS DAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BillPlain1]

Opening day...I want it to mean something, but it doesn't when there are 162 games. If baseball wishes to save itself from becoming less interesting than the NHL they will get down to 79 games. They need to make the game matter, and at present most of the game means nothing. Additionally, the game is less popular than post season NBA and the NFL off-season. Start games around early to mid May, and end in early September, otherwise the game will eventually become a thing of the past, nothing more than a memory, on the national stage.

[@Chalk89]

The Philadelphia Phillies have tried to purchase a ring and failed yet these guys continue talking about them like a dark horse.

[@mr.marcus2560]

Not a dark horse but the Braves still run the East up until October

[@20Schmidt]

Failed? Been right there last two seasons. Tough to win a WS, man. Many clubs don’t even sniff postseason

[@Chalk89]

@@20Schmidt of course they failed. They went out and spent $600M on two players, hundreds more on others and best they can do is one World Series appearance? That’s embarrassing.

[@myselfmyself3872]

I’m embarrassed to ask this….. but why is there no cap in baseball?

[@hockeynut]

Because the baseball players association doesn't want that. It would need to be collectively bargained with the owners. It's a nonstarter for the players association.

[@hockeynut]

[@brodssn]

Love Passan coming on this show and saying with a straight face that the Otanj part of this federal investigation is actual a spec of what is going on and being looked at. This screamed damage control and I’m sad Dan let him get away with it.

[@shep68]

Get away with what? He clearly said Otani makes it seem more salacious and big, but that storyline pales in comparison to the overarching federal investigation. Pretty straight forward comment. Why would Passan, DP or anyone in sports media care about damage control? This is great content for them.

[@NeonKC]

@@shep68the criminal investigation is huge sure but who cares I’m interested In ohtani not the overall investigation into the bookie

[@brandonvoice8941]

​@@NeonKCyeah, and you're not the feds. Lol

[@NeonKC]

@@brandonvoice8941 no I’m the general public ya know like who watches Passan and this show

[@williamdillard5060]

NO WAY, NO HOW will Ohtani be involved in this gambling event

[@slundgr]

And you know this how?

[@jamesgeorge7038]

He already is

[@EJH-jn6mo]

AZ advanced to the WS more because of the misdoings of the Phillies. Stop.

[@slundgr]

The Dodgers should have spent some money on a real shortstop. Betts is going to get exposed. Great RF but not a SS. Lux has the yips at SS.

[@djardine2520]

My guess is that Lux will be the SS after a month of rebuilding his confidence at 2b.

[@Steven-kl6lh]

How much can Mike Trout oblige?...oh, I don't know, about 400 million so far.. I think the Angels have obliged him or compensated him very well so far👎😁

[@slundgr]

I'll believe Ohtani's camp and his story when I see the interpreter doing a perp walk and he's wearing an orange jumpsuit as he's booked and arraigned.

[@jonbarker6325]

Did Passan say Trout was one of the 5-10 best players we have ever seen? No doubt Trout is great but he is not top 10 all time of MLB players.

[@slundgr]

Before he started having his injuries, Trout is the most talented player I've ever seen live, and I've been watching MLB since 1963.

[@chrisv791]

@@slundgragree with you 100%…when healthy, no one has his mix of the 5 tools.

[@erniejohnson677]

Jeff tryna protect his money man is a shame. He clearly ruined his legacy forever

[@Steven-kl6lh]

Danny..."The greatest WANNABE PLAYER of all time". 👎😁

[@erniejohnson677]

Simply put if shoehi was anybody else he would’ve been banned for life. But b/c of his talent and massive Chinese/Asian fanbase he’ll be fine

[@jordanhaworth105]

Did he bet on Baseball? I think it would just be a fine or suspension unless it's proven he did that

[@samchahl4018]

Welcome to reality

[@curveball135]

Maybe you're just a hater....sorry. Plenty of other athletes and celebrities' have been swindled out of millions in the -past. Is it really out of the realm of possibility that his translator (who was really more of his personally assistant) would've had easy access to his bank account. I'm not say its impossible that Ohtain also bet on sports through an illegal bookie. But this pitchfork mentality across social media against Ohtani has been very jarring. Its almost like we love to build up idols just to tear them down. In American, its innocent until proven guilty. No reason to be this mad and really just a hater until all the facts come out.

[@erniejohnson677]

@@jordanhaworth105 there’s only so much evidence to say he did. Let alone constantly changing the story. Anybody else would have been banned

[@discodick6058]

Logan Webb? C'mon Jeff. You can do better. He will be in the hall of fame for sure
