Do you wear a watch every day. 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: Every single day? But I wear an Apple Watch, so 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: it also gives me like text notifications and calls, and 16 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: it also alerts me if I were to be butt 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: dialing somebody, which maybe that I could help you out there, 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: because you have a tendency to butt dial everybody. My 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: biggest fear is not that you butt dial me or 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: my wife Emily, or your son in law Mark. Now 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna butt dial Johnny Bench or cow 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: Ripken Jr. Ken Griffiths Jr. You know, like you're gonna 23 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: butt dial one of them.

You left me a voicemail. 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: Right, What does this have to do with my watch? 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: Does your ass to watch tell time? Also? Yes, it's 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: a watch. I just want something to see what time 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: it is. 29 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it tells time, but you gotta charge it every night. 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: And that's a lot of technology for you to handle. 31 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: Now. 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: The only reason why I would have known that you 33 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: were missing your watch was I overheard a conversation. I 34 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: was on the phone with Mom and you popped into 35 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: her car and said, sorry, I'm looking for my watch, 36 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: and you were looking, I guess in her car for 37 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: your watch. And then I was cleaning your bedroom. We 38 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: just call it Popop's bedroom, right, the one in the 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: front of the house when you're here recording the podcast, right, 40 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: And there it was hanging out underneath the bed. It 41 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: was it had fallen off of the end table and 42 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: bounced underneath. 43 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: The bed right at Jeff, I am a bit of 44 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: a stickler, as you know that if you have clocks 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: in your house, they should work and they should be 46 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: on the correct time. I mean, I don't have to 47 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: be like within thirty seconds of every other clock. I'm 48 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: not that stupid. I'm just does it bug you at 49 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: all that in Kelly's house, Kelly and Mark have this 50 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: gigantic clock and they haven't changed to to you know, 51 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: eastern daylight time. It's still an hour off. Am I 52 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: wrong about this? Dan? Dan? 53 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: That's always I think they moved from Chicago. I'm pretty 54 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: sure their clocks are still in Central. 55 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: Time, but they moved here four years ago. 56 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't even have the same oven they have 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: here there, and that one's on Central Time too, all right. 58 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: I'm just curious of our listeners and our viewers feel 59 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: the same way that I do. Now Again, I can 60 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: be a bit excessive, you know, when the clock's really 61 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: whether clocks go forward or the clocks go back. The 62 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: first thing I do when I wake up in the 63 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: morning is reset the clocks. Do other people do that? 64 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: Or is this is this something I need to stop doing? 65 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: Now? Dad, I'm the same way, and I think it's 66 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: the father son in me. And the other day we 67 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: lost power and so it was only for like thirty seconds. 68 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: I started resetting my clocks. My microwave my oven, and 69 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: then we lost power again for thirty seconds. 70 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: Right. 71 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: My wife looked at me and said, why didn't you 72 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: just wait? Couldn't you wait? Like I mean, there was 73 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: only two minutes in between, Dad. I went upstairs. I 74 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: made sure everybody's safe. I had a flashlight and the 75 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: boom they came on, and I. 76 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: Went, beepep beepepeep peep. 77 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: And I reset it because it was off by you know, 78 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: twelve hours, because it was now reset to midnight. Dad, 79 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm with you. We're pathetic, all right. There's a decorative 80 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: clock in my basement. I always set it to the 81 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: right time. 82 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: Jeff. We're both in a deadline business.

If it's not in, it's late 86 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: and we've missed the addition, you can't be late now 87 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: that I do also do TV. You know, Baseball tonight 88 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: starts at six o'clock, not six oh five. You have 89 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: to be ready to do the show. And yes, I've 90 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: been on TV a lot lately, Jeff, you know, with 91 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: the trade deadline and all that, plus we kicked off 92 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: the Little League you know, regional tournament heading towards Williamsport, 93 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: where you and I will be interviewing Carl Ravage and 94 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: Todd Frazier. It's gonna be great. And I did double 95 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: header last Saturday in Bristol and a doubleheader on Sunday, 96 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 2: and I'm just captivated by these kids playing baseball. It 97 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: is so cool. So I can't wait till Williamsport and 98 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 2: it's just I just love this time of year, and 99 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: so do you, right. 100 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: Oh, it's my favorite time of year. In fact, just 101 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: a couple hours ago, we're recording this episode a little 102 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: bit later than usual per being busy on ESPN this afternoon, 103 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: and so I was like, what is going to be 104 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 1: on TV at noon? Because I'm home from the morning 105 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: show and I'm editing our interview for tomorrow, which is 106 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: Steve Phillips. We'll get into that in a little bit, 107 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: but I was like, I just need some white noise. 108 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: And I turn on my TV and thinking, you know, 109 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: we're gonna have daytime talk shows, no Little League World Series. 110 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: Regional games are on and it's the best thing ever had. 111 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: And this sounds cheesy. This sounds corny, but I have 112 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: such a core memory my daughter McKinley, your granddaughter will 113 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: be two on August tenth, and I remember bringing her 114 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: home from the hospital and sitting there watching game after 115 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: game after game holding my newborn baby of wall to 116 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: wall coverage on ESPN of the Little League World Series, 117 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: and I will never forget that. It sounds silly. And 118 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: then the greatest wife in the world let me leave 119 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: with only a six day old in order to go 120 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: up and see you, and I brought my father in 121 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: law with me for his very first time. I mean 122 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: talk about the greatest. The only thing greater was my buddy. 123 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: His wife let him buy golf clubs with a two 124 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: week old. That was by far the biggest win I've 125 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: ever heard in my life. There's no better wife in 126 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: the world than my buddy's wife, Meg. I was shocked, shocked. 127 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: And then when my wife Emily found out how much 128 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: he sold his current clubs for, she said, well, maybe 129 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: we should just sell your clubs. And I'm like, and 130 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: get new ones. And I had to let her know too, 131 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: they're fitted, they're fit for me. I don't think anybody 132 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: wants my clubs at all, they're going to be very disappointed. 133 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: So, Jeff, the Little League was great. One of the 134 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: games I did featured a Maryland team, and we, of 135 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: course are from Maryland, Montgomery County, Maryland. I love it 136 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: that you live now in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. What are 137 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: the chances of that? So the town that is right 138 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: next to us, Germantown. That team made it to Bristol, 139 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: Connecticut for the regional and it was so cool because 140 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: Grayson Greenbomb, the number twelve hitter for the Germantown team, 141 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: is the great nephew of Bernie Greenbaum, who is a 142 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 2: childhood friend of mine and my dentist. So we had 143 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: such a purse. I was so familiar. All these kids 144 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: go to school like five minutes from where we live 145 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: or where you used to live. I mean, we had 146 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: kids that go to Lakeland's Park and mary Nazareth. It 147 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: was just like, I know, I don't know any of 148 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: these kids other now than Grayson Greenbaumb, But it was 149 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: really really cool to see kids from this close hit. 150 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, probably Kingsview kids where I went to middle school 151 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: or Ridgeview, two different middle schools I went to. That's 152 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: so neat to have that local shout out. 153 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: And I talked to the coach, and you know, the 154 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: coach went to Churchill right around the corner, and he said, 155 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: my kids are going to Queen's Orchard, which is where 156 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: you and Kelly went to school. So it was really 157 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: really cool. Plus there was a Washington DC team in there, 158 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: and they had a kid named Josh Morgan Junior. He 159 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: is the son of Josh Morgan, who played eight years 160 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: in the NFL. Josh Morgan Junior Jeff is five eleven, 161 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty five pounds, is the fastest kid 162 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: on the field, and he is eleven years old. And 163 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: I could say without hesitation, he is the biggest, strongest, 164 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 2: most incredibly athletic eleven year old that I've ever seen. 165 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: And his first two at bats he hit two triples 166 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: in which he ran around the basis so fast no 167 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: one on the field could beat him in a race. 168 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: And he's bigger by far than anybody else on the field. 169 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: It was just stunning to see a kid who was 170 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: that big. I said, who is that and one of 171 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: the coaches said, that's my son. He's eleven, Jeff. He 172 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: was way taller than the second base umpire. He's the 173 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: short stop standing right next to the second's umpire, and 174 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,479 Speaker 2: it was like a man among boys. It was incredible. 175 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: I loved it. 176 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: Alan barrassing. Was it when you were umpiring? I know 177 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: this happened to me when I was umpiring. When the 178 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: catcher would stand up in a twelve U game and 179 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: you can't see what's going on on the field. Yeah, 180 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: all the time. It happens to me. 181 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: It happened all the time to me. So yes, big kids, 182 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 2: little kids are everywhere, and as you know, Jeff, at 183 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: the Little League World Series and in the regionals. I 184 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: just love to read the bios of all the kids. 185 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: You know. My favorite bio is the kid who wrote 186 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: years ago he wrote what dinosaur has the best vocabulary 187 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 2: answer the fsaurus, which I still think is one of 188 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 2: the funniest things I've ever heard. A twelve year old 189 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: told that joke. So in these bios I found a 190 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: kid named Kayden McCarthy who plays for the Massachusetts team, 191 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: which is really good, and he is like an alpine skier, Jeff, 192 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: like a very accomplished alpine skier who like competes all 193 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: over the country. He's twelve years old, and it said 194 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: in the bio. I didn't get a chance to ask him, 195 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: but he practices by skiing on glaciers. Sounds a bit 196 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: sounds a bit dangerous to me, but apparently he's great 197 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 2: at it. So these little bios that that just tell 198 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: you a little bit about these kids. I think is 199 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: so cool. And one of his teammates was Logan Needle 200 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: and Ee d l E. And his nickname and it 201 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: took me a second to figure this out. His nickname 202 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: is Haystack, which I needle in a haystack. I thought 203 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: that was that was pretty clever. Now, Jeff, Harry Clever, 204 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: I have a question for you. Each kid has to 205 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: put down his favorite celebrity. Okay, so we have Kevin Hart, 206 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: We've got a ton of Adam Sandlers. And I'm just 207 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: asking for a ruling here, Jeff. I'm not trying to 208 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: be critical or flippant or anything else. But one of 209 00:10:53,679 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 2: the kids put down Joey Chestnut. Asked now, is Joee 210 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: chesnut A Does he belong on that list? 211 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: I'll give it to all. 212 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: Is he a celebrity? Sixty five hot dogs? 213 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: It's he is very talented, He's a record holder. I 214 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: would say celebrity status for sure. 215 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: Okay. Well I asked this on the air, and Mark Brown, 216 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: the play by play guy, kind of looked at me 217 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: and like I was an idiot and said, of course 218 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 2: he's a celebrity. So nothing against Joey Chestnut. I just 219 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: found it odd. You know, you got Jackie Robinson, You've 220 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: got Adam Sandler, you got all these people that you love, 221 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 2: and here comes Joey Chestnut. I got a kick out. 222 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: But let's put it that way. 223 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: Joey Chestnut, Adam to the list producers of the guests 224 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: we want to get on, along with Lynn Manuel Miranda. 225 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm looking at the hypothetical producer. I'm just 226 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: writing down myself as we. 227 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: Know, Jeff, you are the producer, the director too, here right, 228 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 2: the creative, the technological wizard, everything. 229 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: All right, So our board meetings, everybody thinks some schizophrenic. 230 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: Anyway, right, okay, Jeff, So those are my quick you 231 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 2: just thoughts about Little League. We're for regionals, We're going 232 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 2: to the world series soon. It's going to be absolutely great. 233 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: Okay, it's going to be Dad. I'm so excited. It's 234 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: the most exciting time of the year. If you happen 235 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: to be down at Williamsport and you're going to be 236 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: a part of the weekend. Make sure to come see 237 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: us at the game change or tent on Monday, August eighteenth. 238 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: It's going to be an absolutely incredible week. But that's 239 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: when we're going to be out there. We're going to 240 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: be doing an exclusive pin drop and I have an 241 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: example of that. If you're watching on YouTube right now, 242 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: you can see that. And we'll also be giving you 243 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: an opportunity if you can't be out at Little League, 244 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: to win some pins as well. All right, Dad, the 245 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: trade deadline now, granted it was last week, but now 246 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: we're kind of seeing the chips all fall and I 247 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: wanted to kick off the takeaways. Are you okay with that? 248 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: Yes? And let's be clear, Jeff. Another reason that we're 249 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: looking at the trade deadline. As our guest on Wednesday, 250 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: Steve Phillips is a former general manager who told some 251 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: fascinating and hilarious stories about what it's like being a 252 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: general manager, especially at the trade deadline. So yes, we're 253 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 2: gonna have you do the takeaways kick off. 254 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: Well as a Philadelphia Phillies fan, and we don't hide 255 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: that away because I think it's important to more or 256 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: less root for the team of the city you live in, 257 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: if it doesn't conflict with your childhood, right. And so 258 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: my wife and I moved here in twenty twenty two, 259 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: and we really embraced this team as our own because 260 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: my wife had never lived in a city that had 261 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: a team. And so that team made a run to 262 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: the World Series kind of miraculously, and we jumped on 263 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: the bandwagon, and we've been fans ever since. Their big 264 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: trade to get closer Joan Duran Duran. The thing I 265 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: love the most at is First of all, everybody including me, 266 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: pronounces it a different way. But now everybody in Philly 267 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: halls him John. Are you familiar with j A w n? 268 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: So John is a is a slang term in Philly 269 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: that means any literally anything. This John right here, Look 270 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: at that John over there. Give me that John. It's 271 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: just that thing, just any literally anything, right, And so 272 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: now people are buying shirts that say John j A 273 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: w N. Duran. 274 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: Really, I had, Jeff, I have so little idea about 275 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: so many things. I had no idea that was a 276 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 2: slang term in Philadelphia. 277 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: Look at this John exactly. Yeah, it's it's a big 278 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: it's a big slang term, and people use it here 279 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: all the time, and I've even caught myself using it occasionally. However, Dad, 280 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: I have to say, he has had two appearances as 281 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: of Monday as the Philadelphia Phillies closers. First was on 282 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: the very first game he was eligible to play in. 283 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: Came into the ninth inning. The Twins had given the 284 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: PA wreckaging all of the audio, video elements and all 285 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: that stuff to the Phillies to be able to use. 286 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: He came in with an absolute insane crowd insane intro, 287 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: the coolest intro in Major League Baseball, I believe, maybe 288 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: next to Edwin diz Right, that's a really cool one too. 289 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: And then he closes it out on four pitches. Then 290 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: he comes up again on Sunday Night Baseball with our 291 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: boy Kyl Ravitch on the call, Eduardo Perez David Cohne Buster. 292 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: Only they get a Sunday night game in Philadelphia against 293 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: the Tigers, who are crazy good this season too, And 294 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: he makes another appearance and gets three outs, never giving 295 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: up a hit. Unbelievable. And it's such a great move, Dad, 296 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: because it's keeping fans in their seats and hoping, Oh 297 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: my gosh, I want to see him come up. I 298 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: want to see the intro. I want to be there 299 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: for it. 300 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: Jeff, I'm all for it. And that Sunday night gave 301 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: me through twelve pitches, ten of them at one hundred 302 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: miles an hour or more. So he's not just coming 303 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: in and firing, he's getting people out, and he's throwing 304 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: at a rate of speed that almost nobody does. Remember 305 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: Mariano riveris to enter, I mean to enter Sandman, which 306 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: was great. And when Trevor Hoffman used to come in 307 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 2: for the padres, he would come into Hell's Bells and 308 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: it was like unbelievable. But Trevor Hoffman's best pitch was 309 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: a change up. I was amazed that he would come 310 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: in with this incredible music and then he would throw, 311 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 2: you know something at eighty four miles an hour. Now 312 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: Duran comes in throwing one hundred and two miles an hour, 313 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: which makes the whole walk up even greater and more powerful. 314 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: Agreed, Yeah, agreed, And you know the whole drama surrounding 315 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: his number number fifty nine. Are you familiar with what 316 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: happened here? 317 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 2: No, I want you to tell me. 318 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: So he came in and I'm sure you have a 319 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: ton of stories about this, and I'm putting you on 320 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: the spot. You don't have to have a story right now. 321 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: But he wanted to wear number fifty nine for the 322 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies because that's the number he loves to wear. However, 323 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: when being traded, he was told, hey, number fifty nine 324 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: is taken Rob Thompson the manager, and being of his 325 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: culture and being the man he is, he said, well, no, 326 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: like I too much respect for the manager. I don't 327 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: want to take his number. Don't even worry about it. Well, 328 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: Rob Thompson got w into that and gladly said he'll 329 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: change numbers, but he did. Rob Thompson did say, I 330 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with it, but my wife has 331 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: a problem with it because now she has to get 332 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: all new clothing for when she goes to games because 333 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: she has a bunch of jerseys with fifty nine on it. 334 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: So as married men, I mean, I could just hear 335 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: my wife saying, well, don't give it off, and Rob 336 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: Thompson says, it doesn't mean anything to me, And then 337 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: he said that. Durant said, I have fifty nine in 338 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: the bottom of my pool. He has the number fifty nine. 339 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: Dad in a pool at his house. 340 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 2: Right, then he can't change that. Every manager in the 341 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: world gives up his uniform number for a guy who 342 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 2: throws one hundred and two miles an hour and it's 343 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: closing down the ninth inning, it's a no brainer. Sorry 344 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 2: to missus Thompson. Your husband did the right thing, no doubt. 345 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: So what other takeaways do you have, Dad, that you 346 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: want to bring up? Thanks for letting me go down 347 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: my rabbit hole, right. 348 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: Just a couple. The Brewers are really good, Jeff. Someone 349 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 2: asked me today who's the best team in baseball? I mean, 350 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: it's really hard to answer these days, but I think 351 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: the answer is Brewers. They've outscored their opponents through Sunday 352 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: by one hundred and nineteen runs, biggest run differential. They 353 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: just played a three game series against the Nationals and 354 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 2: in three games they scored thirty eight runs and got 355 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 2: fifty six hits in three games. It's unbelievable. And their 356 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 2: pitching is really good. Their manager is really good. They 357 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: have some elite defensive players. Boy, I really like where 358 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 2: the Brewers are right now. Again, they've never won the 359 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: World Series. They have a team that might be good 360 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: enough to do that. This year because I'm just not 361 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: sure there's a great team out there. Phillies can win 362 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: the World Series Matt's Cubs, Dodgers, Padres, but the Brewers 363 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: are in that group and that that's really saying something 364 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: right now. 365 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: And did you see that in that series against the Nationals, 366 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: every single starter in every single game reached base safely. 367 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is boy. You've been doing some nice research here, Jeff. 368 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 2: I'm proud of you. You've been reading. 369 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: About if you're going to have that or not. 370 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: All right, last thing, Jeff, the Red Sox are hot too. 371 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 2: Through Sunday. They won five games in a row, allowed 372 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 2: eleven runs total in those five games, or only three 373 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: games back up Toronto. And as Alex Corus said, this 374 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 2: team is playing with an edge. Now you can see 375 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: it now. We've heard that before. Remember this team won 376 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: ten games in a row and then kind of fell 377 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: off a little bit, and then people were all upset 378 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: they didn't do anything at the trade deadline or didn't 379 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: do enough at the trade deadline. But again, Jeff, the 380 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 2: American League is wide open. There's no reason that the 381 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: Red Sox can't win that division because all the races 382 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: other than of course, the AL Central where the Tigers 383 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 2: are running away, all all those races are wide open. 384 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 2: It'll be really fine. 385 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: All respect to the AL East leading Toronto Blue Jays, 386 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: But how if the season ended right now, it would 387 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: be the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees 388 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: as wild card teams and the Blue Jays taking the division. 389 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't think very many people have that coming into 390 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Jeff. 391 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: This has been one of the craziest years I've ever 392 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 2: seen because it has made absolutely no sense, which is 393 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: these are my favorite years, Jeff, when things happen and 394 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 2: you just go, boy, I can't explain this, this is 395 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: why baseball is so good, And onto the question chef 396 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: talking about things that you can't explain. So Friday night, 397 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 2: the first night after this trade deadline, it was one 398 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: of the most It was one of the craziest nights 399 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 2: in baseball history. I'm not sure there's a way around it. 400 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 2: We had three games in which twenty five combined runs 401 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 2: were scored. And there's only one other night June twenty third, 402 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 2: nineteen thirty, in which there were three games with at 403 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: least twenty five runs score. It was a crazy night 404 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: and of course, the craziest night was the Rockies Pirates 405 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: game that night. Okay, so the Pirates became This was 406 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 2: all confirmed by Frank and John. I put both brothers 407 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: on this one. First team ever, Jeff to score nine runs, 408 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: get ten hits in the first inning, and in that 409 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 2: first inning have a three run homer and a grand slam. 410 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: So no first inning in the history of baseball has 411 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 2: ever included all of those things. And of course the 412 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 2: Pirates did all of that, and they lost the game. 413 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: So the Rockies became the first team ever to allow 414 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 2: nine runs in the first inning, allow a total of 415 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 2: fifteen or more runs and still win the game. 416 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: And of all teams to do it, the Rockies right, 417 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: because we expect them to give up nine runs in 418 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: the first inning to a certain degree, but we don't 419 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: expect them to come back from giving up nine runs 420 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: in the first size. So good on that, yes. 421 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 2: And also in that game, Joey Bart, the Pirates had 422 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 2: four walks and a hit batter in a nine inning game, 423 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: which I found interesting. So I found the last player 424 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: to walk four times and get hit by a pitch 425 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 2: in the same game, so exactly that four walks hard 426 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: to do. One hit by pitch, all in the same game. 427 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: It was Bryce Harper in twenty sixteen against the Cubs, Jeff, 428 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 2: that was the game he was walked six times and 429 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: got hit by a pitch. How about that? Now that 430 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 2: was an extra inning game, but still they refuse to 431 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 2: pitch to Bryce Harper. And I certainly don't blame them 432 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 2: for that. 433 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: I love that. Oh right, all right, Collens. 434 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: A couple of lot of things. Jose Al Tuove got 435 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: his forty first four hit game, okay, and our pal 436 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 2: Steve Sparks alerted me. I did not know this. He's 437 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 2: never had a five hit game. So he's had forty 438 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: one four hit games and has not had a five 439 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 2: hit game. That does that find? And you find that odd? 440 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a great player. 441 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: He's going to a four hit games. 442 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 2: You figure out, you get forty one games with four hits, 443 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 2: you're gonna get a five hit game, and he hasn't 444 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: done that. Edgar Martinez Hall of Fame, are one of 445 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 2: the great hitters I've ever seen, at twenty six four 446 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 2: hit games in his career and did not have a 447 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 2: five hit game, in part because he walked all the time. 448 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 2: But I love that and Jeff, speaking of the Astros. 449 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm repeating this. I think we used this 450 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 2: last week, but I just love this so much. Carlos Korea, 451 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 2: acquired from the Twins, is now the everyday third baseman 452 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: for the Astros, and the shortstop now that he's healthy, 453 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: is Jeremy Payna and they share the same birthday, September 454 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: the twenty second, So the third baseman and the shortstop 455 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: on the same team at the same birthday. I mean, 456 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 2: what are the odds? 457 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy too that it was Payina that replaced 458 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: Korea in the starting spot right to begin with, and 459 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: they left right. You don't see that too often. 460 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: Okay, Two more strikeout notes, Jeff, because every week we 461 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 2: have strikeout quirtchins because it's a strikeout ear and crazy 462 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 2: things happen. So Cal Raley, who's you know, one of 463 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: the two leaders for the MVP of the American League, 464 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 2: had five to five strikeouts the other night. So he 465 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 2: is the seventh player this year to strike out five 466 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: times in a game. There were seven of them all 467 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: last year, so we're going to get more, I'm sure 468 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 2: than last year. The record is there were twelve five 469 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 2: strikeout guys in twenty nineteen. This is a record that 470 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 2: I still think is in peril, just because the pitching 471 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 2: we see is absolutely ridiculous. And our last strikeout note, 472 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 2: Ryan McMahon of the Yankees struck out four times in 473 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 2: a game for the fifth time this season. The record 474 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 2: is seven times by Dick Allen in nineteen sixty five. 475 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 2: I want to say that's the record for most four 476 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 2: strikeout games in the season. Ryan McMahon has like two 477 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 2: months to make sure he doesn't strike out four in 478 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: a game two more times. 479 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: All right, dad, what do you got for On this 480 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 1: date in baseball history today? August the fifth? 481 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 2: Okay? On this date in nineteen ninety, Joe Morgan and 482 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 2: Jim Palmer both were inducted into the Hall of Fame. 483 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 2: I was there that day, and it was a biblical deluge. 484 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 2: The rain was like nothing I have ever seen, and 485 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: they had to move inside, so it really took away 486 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: from the grandeur of the Hall of Fame. But I 487 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: just love that those two guys went in because they 488 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 2: competed against each other and all that. And Jim Palmer, 489 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 2: you know, we've been over how great he is a 490 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 2: million times, So we won't go over it again. But 491 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 2: Jim Palmer once told me the Reds were not the 492 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: big Red machine until Joe Morgan showed up. So let's 493 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: be clear. As great as the red were in nineteen 494 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 2: seventy when the Orioles beat them, Brooks Robinson had one 495 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: of the great series ever. When they won back to 496 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: back in seventy five seventy six, the Reds Joe Morgan 497 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: was the MVP both leagues and one of the great 498 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: second basement of all time, at worst, one of the 499 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 2: three greatest second basement of all time. And they both 500 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: went in the Hall of Fame at the same time. 501 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 2: On this date. In nineteen ninety nine, Mark McGuire hit 502 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 2: home run number five hundred and Jeff I'll never forget 503 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: being around for McGuire's chase for you know, Roger Maris's record, 504 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: which people have chosen to no longer pay attention to. Look. 505 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 2: I understand some things happened that we didn't know about 506 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 2: at the time, but trust me, Jeff, I was there 507 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: for sixty, sixty one and sixty two and it happened, 508 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: and it was amazing how great that was. And in 509 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight he hit a Grand Slam in ninety eight, 510 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 2: Jeff and David Howard was his team. And this is 511 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: the focus and the zone that these great hitters get into. 512 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: Mark McGuire hits a grand slam. He comes back to 513 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: the bench and he's like still in this complete trance 514 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,239 Speaker 2: from this at bat, and David Howard looks at him 515 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 2: and goes, wait to go, Mac grand slam, And Mark 516 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 2: McGuire comes out of the trance and goes where the 517 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 2: bases loaded. He didn't even know because it didn't matter 518 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: to him. It was his job to do something big there, 519 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 2: and he hit a grand slam and wasn't even aware 520 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 2: that he had hit a grand slam. I love that 521 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 2: all right. On this date in two thousand and seven, 522 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 2: Tom Glavin, who was one of our guests on the 523 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 2: podcast this year, made us laugh, told us all about hockey. 524 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: He won his three hundredth game, and Jeff, he is 525 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 2: one of six pitchers ever. No one cares about this 526 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 2: but me since nineteen hundred to win three hundred games 527 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: and walk one hundred times as a batter. That's hard 528 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 2: to do for a pitcher to walk one hundred times, 529 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 2: but only six pitchers have ever won three hundred games 530 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: since nineteen hundred and also walked one hundred times. Tom 531 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: Glavin in many ways an underrated pitcher, even though he 532 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 2: was on those great Atlanta Brave staffs. 533 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: I would say that people care about that. I thought, 534 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: when you said, nobody cares about this except for me, 535 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: you're gonna hit me with He's the only pitcher to 536 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: strike out three hundred with a V in his last name, 537 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: with at least six letters in his last name on 538 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: a cold, sunny day in a domed state. 539 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: Euam, I've had enough people make fun of me for that, 540 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 2: all right, Jeff? Birthdays, Bobby, did I strike a chord? Noo? 541 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 2: It's okay. Bobby Keelty was born on this date in 542 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy six. Jeff. This comes from Bill Chuck, by 543 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: the way, who's a great one of our great friends. 544 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 2: Listens to the podcast all the time as a statistical genius. 545 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: You should read what he writes on the internet every day, 546 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 2: Billy Ball. It's fascinating stuff. So I needed to pull 547 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 2: from him what happened with Bobby Keelty in his career. 548 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 2: So he played five hundred and ninety nine regular season games. 549 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 2: He played three Division Series games, eight LCF games, but 550 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 2: he only played in one World Series game in two 551 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: thousand and seven. He pinch hit for Mike Timlin in 552 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: the clinching game against the Colorado Rockies. So he pinch hit, 553 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: he saw one pitch, he hit it for a home run, 554 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: so he's and then that was the last played appearance 555 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: of his major league career. Was a home run as 556 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: a pinch hitter on the only pitch he saw in 557 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: the two thousand and seven World Series and never took 558 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: another played appearance in the big leagues. How amazing is that? 559 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: Well that just blows David Ross right out of the 560 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: exactly because the David Ross thing. 561 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 2: You know, only guy ever hit a home run in 562 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 2: Game seven of the World Series and then retire afterwards. Okay, 563 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 2: well that's pretty cool, but Bobby Keelty had no interest 564 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: in retiring. That just ended up being the last played 565 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 2: appearance of his career. Jeff, I gotta be careful with this. 566 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 2: It's Carl Crawford's birthday. Carl Crawford was born in nineteen 567 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 2: eighty one. He was one of the best Tampa Bay 568 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 2: Rays ever. Unbelievably fast, a really really good hitter, and 569 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 2: just a dangerous man. So he was a he was 570 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: a great high school quarterback. But he was a running quarterback, 571 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: and there was a chance he was going to go 572 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: play like Nebraska. That's how good he was. So this 573 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 2: is I shouldn't tell this, but I'm going to anyway. 574 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: So as part of a little piece we were doing 575 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 2: in spring training back when I got to do all 576 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: sorts of ridiculous stuff in spring training, Sean Fitzgerald, our producer, said, Tim, 577 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 2: we want you to run some pass patterns and we're 578 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 2: going to have Carl Crawford throw footballs to you because 579 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 2: he was a great high school quarterback. So, Jeff, you 580 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 2: know how much I love Look, I'm not a football player. 581 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 2: I wasn't good enough and I was way too small. 582 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: I would have gotten killed. But you know how much 583 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 2: I love to run past kitty post right, skinny down 584 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: out and down, corner routes, posts, all that stuff. So 585 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 2: we do this. So I'm running around in the outfield 586 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 2: on the baseball field in spring training and Carl Crawford 587 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 2: and this is where I gotta be careful. He threw 588 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: like six of the worst passes I've ever seen. I'm 589 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 2: like five yards away from him and he throws it 590 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: so hard that it just goes flying over my head. 591 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 2: After like seven passes to me, he finally threw one 592 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 2: that I could actually catch. I really don't think I 593 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: dropped any of them before that jet, but we just 594 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 2: couldn't connect on a pass. And I wasn't exactly running 595 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 2: a deep route. I was just running something like a 596 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: little square out or a little down and in. And 597 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 2: finally I was able to catch a pass from Carl Crawford. 598 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: He was a scrambling quarterback day. 599 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: He was a running quarterback, there is no doubt, and 600 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: I think he proved it that day while he was 601 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 2: throwing to me in the OUTPHT and just maybe I 602 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 2: was too small of a target for of. 603 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: So. 604 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 2: Elliott Johnson, our friend who did our podcast was Elliott 605 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: Johnson somehow was watching all of this and he looks 606 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: at me afterwards and he goes, Carl's arm was a 607 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 2: little erratic today. Whether I'm thinking, thank God somebody else 608 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 2: saw this. I took the blame for this one. I'm 609 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: not sure it was my fault. So so yes, I 610 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 2: thought passes from Carl Crawford pretty good. 611 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: It's incredible. It's incredible. Well, Dad, before we get to 612 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: your team, Tim, which we you have just been absolutely 613 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: crushing it.

All right? 672 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: Joe, all right, Dad, so big shout out, Thank you John, 673 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: Thank you John for that great list. What is your 674 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: team tim list about? To wrap up today's show? 675 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 2: All right, Well, we had a baseball game at a 676 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 2: racetrack the other day in you know, the Bristol Motor Speedway. 677 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: And you know Murray Cook is the guy who puts 678 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 2: together these stadiums. It's unbelievable how they can build a 679 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: baseball stadium inside of a motor track like that. You 680 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 2: know he did everything in England. I've had many long 681 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 2: chats with him. Whenever the Major League Baseball goes to 682 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 2: a strange site, he comes in and builds a field 683 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 2: there to make sure it's a perfectly manicured field so 684 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 2: nobody gets hurt. So I know nothing about NASCAR, but 685 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 2: I had to come up with the All NASCAR team 686 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 2: from Major League Baseball as a tribute to playing a 687 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball game at a racetrack. So I looked 688 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 2: up all the NASCAR drivers that I could and found 689 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 2: baseball players with the same first or last name, Charles. 690 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 2: Let's see how many of these you can get. Charles 691 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 2: Johnson is my catcher, So who's the NASCAR with the 692 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 2: last name Johnson? Jimmy Jimmy? Way to go? All right? 693 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 2: Michael Bush is our first baseman. You fill in the blanks. 694 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 2: Let's see how good you are? All right? 695 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: Kyle Bus. 696 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 2: Joe Gordon won the MVP in the American League one year, 697 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 2: Jeff Gordon. Of course, Buddy Bell is the third baseman. 698 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 2: I don't think you'll ever get this, but I because 699 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 2: I don't know anything. But Christopher Bell is a NASCAR driver. 700 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:42,919 Speaker 2: Ken Hamlin is our shortstop. Who's the Denny, Jeff, I'm 701 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 2: really happy. I'm really proud of you. I grew up 702 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 2: watching a guy named Bob Allison play the outfield. You 703 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 2: got that one Bobby Allison. So and Bob Allison went 704 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 2: by Bob Allison, not Bobby Allison. But yes, there's a 705 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 2: NASCAR driver, Bobby Allison. Randy Elliott played for the Giants 706 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 2: in the seventies, didn't wasn't very good. But do you 707 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 2: know an Elliott?

I 712 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: know my races all right, Well, I don't. 713 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 2: Josh Reddick is an outfielder. I've never heard of this 714 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 2: guy either. Do you know a Reddick in the NASCAR world? Okay, 715 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 2: Tyler Reddick is one of them.
