Four Quarters

The sun's not shining so brightly in Hollywood right now for LeBron James and the Lakers. Drew talks about Bron's disappointing behavior and the bad example he's setting. Also, he talks about Zion Williamson's shoes ripping off his feet during the Duke/UNC game and why he thinks Kyrie and KD are on their way to New York City for the Knicks to likely join Zion on the team next year.

This past weekend was filled with the league's best players heading to Charlotte to take part in the annual NBA All-Star Weekend activities. Drew gives a recap on what happened. Saturday was the Three-Point Shootout and Slam Dunk Contest, while Sunday brought the All-Star game itself of Team LeBron playing against Team Giannis and KD coming out as MVP.

Starting out the episode in New York City, Drew first hits a Brooklyn Nets game and recounts the painful loss they had to the visiting Chicago Bulls. Afterwards, he takes the conversation over to the Manhattan side where he talks about the Knicks near 20 game losing streak and how their season is in the tank now to get Zion as their hopeful draft pick. Then he goes into the run James Harden is having right now, LeBron and the Lakers situation, how the Pelicans are moving forward after the whole AD ordeal at the trade deadline, and more from this past week in the NBA happenings.

Breaking down some of the biggest trades made during this looming NBA Trade Deadline. This includes Drew mourning the loss of his beloved NY Knicks player Kristaps Porzingis (KP) going to the Dallas Mavs, the 76ers acquiring young Tobias Harris, and what to look out for with Anthony Davis (AD) in the final hours before the trade deadline ends, which is Thursday at 3pm EST. If something major happens, Drew will be back later in the day with an emergency bonus update episode. Four Quarters is part of CessPool, a new podcast network.

Drew gives a brief introduction to what the show's about. Four Quarters is part of CessPool, a new podcast network.

Exactly 100 years ago in 1918, Babe Ruth gave his case for a two-way player. Now, a century later, Shohei Ohtani challenged that. We discuss comparisons between the two players and the two periods of baseball, including their close stat lines and random overall connections. (This is our finale for Season 1, Ohtani's Rookie Year, and we will return in March 2019 for Spring Training of next season)

As Yankees fans ourselves, but also Ohtani supporters, we get into a debate with each other about who should win the 2018 Rookie Of The Year award. Should it be Ohtani or the Yankees own Miguel Andujar? We each take sides and make our cases for who should take the crown.

Recap of the entire rookie season for Ohtani, going back all the way to when the news first broke a year ago of his decision to come to America at the end of 2017. We go through the key events and dates throughout, and what it meant to the bigger picture. Additionally, we mention some newly learned insight from the man himself on his reflections of the year.

Regular season comes to a big conclusion - Ohtani confirms he's getting Tommy John surgery immediately after this last week of games, Mike Scioscia announces he won't be returning as manager for the Angels next year (after 19 years), the discovery is made of Ohtani's spanish singing skills (Despacito!), he talks his final thoughts on the season, and we recap this week's series games against the Texas Rangers and Oakland A's.

(P.S. - More episodes in coming weeks with a recap of the season overall and our Rookie Of The Year debate)

Rough and terrible week for both Ohtani and the Angels. Not anything to do with more injuries to Ohtani, but he's in a hitting slump right now and the team (aside from Mike Trout) is not playing well - including their worst loss of all time. We also discuss Ichiro's new ideas for Ohtani to try for his career, the $150K rookie card auction buy, and in general the road trip games against the Oakland A's and Houston Astros.
