| 0:00.0 | Dan Shaughnessy wrote the article that is stirring the pot over here. Dennis Ecklesley, of course, it was reported, was confronted by David Price on a team flight. Dan Shaughnessy, thank you for joining us, sir, in the 18thi expert hotline. You're welcome. I was a pleasure to join you guys. And you were on the West Coast, so this is 520 there. Yes, I hope I get some points to this. |
| 0:22.6 | Absolutely. |
| 0:23.2 | I was very surprised when you agreed to do this. |
| 0:25.8 | All right, so explain to us, because it's interesting, |
| 0:29.1 | because we didn't know about this Jackie Bradley stuff. |
| 0:31.9 | Tell us the whole situation. |
| 0:34.3 | Yeah, I mean, the Bradley stuff was interesting to me, too. |
| 0:37.1 | I was interviewing a number of people just kind of on background in a lot of cases, |
