Speaker 2: Spectacles in the world of sports.

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: I like Chris Sabo.

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: No, No, those are some sweet goggles, the Kurramus. You know,

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 2: I was the kid that wore the I didn't wear

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: the Sabo goggles. But if you were kid of glasses,

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: you had that week ass strap that held your glasses

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: in place, that did not give you cred by the way, No,

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: they gave you wedgies. Yeah and yeah. Spectacles in the

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: world of sports. We'll talk about that, meaning the circus

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: acts that I find to be very intriguing. Plus a

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: new game that sweep in the nation. We're gonna play

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: quote me on this action pack Tuesday, giving away some

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: prizes here. Plus we got to tell cry Babies and

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: sports cry Baby Cray. But first and first, mostly your

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: thoughts on the Dodgers game yesterday. Less about the Dodgers,

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: even though it was a great win Danny g and

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: a great game. More about show Hayes triumphant return. We

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: talked about it here on the show. One to two

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: innings was expected. We're like, well, how many pitches thirty

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: forty pitches? I don't know, But do you feel like

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: It was a little bit of a letdown for people

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: that overpaid for tickets and or where you just impressed

47
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: to see show Hey back out there. It was a

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: bit of mixed emotions for me. So cool to see

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: him clocking out one hundred, one hundred one miles per hour. Yeah,

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: but it did seem that he had no command of

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: his fastball. Maybe that was adrenaline, maybe that was rust.

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it seemed like he didn't have

53
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: that control. And then he let up one earned run,

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: right one day single, a nice single from her eyes.

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: But he was only in for one inning again, one

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: inning more than we've seen since twenty twenty three. But

57
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: if you overpaid for tickets, ri to say you saw that.

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: Should have been a strikeout when Machado went around, No,

59
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: I mean that swing was all the way around.

60
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: That's why I'm glad we're talking about it. And if

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: you just read the box score that it was tatis

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: with that blop single, right, if you just saw the

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: box short that was a weak single and then a

64
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: wild pitch, and you know, so it was a bloop single,

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: but it didn't seem like he had the command. Was

66
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: it the fact that he hasn't been on the mount

67
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 2: in a minute, or was it just adrenaline flowing and

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: he was overthrowing. Well, if you're a casual fan and

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: you were disappointed, like, wait, we paid all that money,

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: oh Tani's return, if you expected more than twenty five

71
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: thirty pitches in one inning, I almost say shame on

72
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: you. You deserve it, because a real Dodger fan, Danny, I'd

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: imagine out here, knew what you were gonna get. To

74
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: be disappointed. You knew he wasn't even gonna go ninety

75
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: pitches five innings. That was never but you were at

76
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: least hoping for two winnings. Right if you just go

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: on strikeout, you're sitting all that game roun Yeah, yeah,

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: but you're sing in all this La traffic.

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna manage to get out of the office. You're

80
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: getting the kids going to go see Shorey.

81
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: You're probably paying double the amount because of show hel

82
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: Tani's first time on the Mount as a Dodger. And again,

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: all these things are great, and it's gonna end up

84
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: being great in the future, but you're at least hoping

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: for two innings. I felt a bit of a letdown,

86
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: like a a little more than that is there. I know,

87
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: very cool and I know the answer is one yes.

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: But can you imagine being one of those fans that

89
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: you went to the stadium thinking you'd get there early,

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: you hit some terrible LA traffic and you get in

91
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: there in the middle of the first and you're like, what, I.

92
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Don't feel sorry.

93
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: I don't feel sorry for any of the fans that

94
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: just want to brag to people. I was there for this,

95
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: and I was the one there for that. Like, either

96
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: you're a fan and you can watch it on TV. Okay,

97
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: that's great if you can go, but you know what

98
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Covino, like, it's a show off kind of thing.

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: You know, on a side, you knew what you were

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: walking into.

101
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: The MLB free Game of the Week, and of course

102
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: it was blacked out so I couldn't even watch it

103
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: out here in LA. But I saw all the highlights,

104
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: you know. I made sure to tune in. I was

105
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: watching the box score the game day live. Rich, you

106
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: have personal friends that made the last minute decision to like, yo,

107
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: I guess we're going now.

108
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: Do you know how much they overpaid for that?

109
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: I think they said easily over a hundo a ticket each,

110
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: So you got to ask yourself, if you're a family

111
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: of Ford, that's an extra four hund do you paid?

112
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: Was that one inning that maybe maybe a cough, maybe

113
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: a missed even still is one inning? Was it really

114
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: worth it? I mean, if you're in pain, I was.

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: You were one of those type of people that like

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: to be at the event. If you're the person that's like, Yo,

117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: big event, I gotta be there. I think it is

118
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: a little la braggy in a fine way to me.

119
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: I was there for Otani's pitching debut. I think it

120
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: was braggy, but I also think it was awesome for

121
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: the sport of baseball, for Otani, for the Dodgers, just

122
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: to see him back out there, and just to be

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: reminded of why he is who he is and how

124
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: ridiculous he is that he can just get out there

125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: and throw one hundred and one miles prior, Like this

126
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: guy's gross. It's like, get out of my face, you're

127
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: too good.

128
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: And then tempers flared later in the game when Cease

129
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: hit Pohes and it looked like it looked kind of intentional.

130
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: I understand why Pahez was upset and sees was lights

131
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: out at first. He had struck out five straight Dodgers,

132
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: and then the bats got to him. Dodgers rallied and

133
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: had a big inning against him, and suddenly he looked

134
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: up and the score was six to two, and Cese

135
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: was doing that little silly smirky does as he walked off, sadly.

136
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: But not bad for him.

137
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: Monday Night, Monday Fun Day, Dodgers win six to three

138
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: in Otani's return. You had your NBA ok C stepping

139
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 2: up again, breaking that streak, went into in a row

140
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: because it was back and forth, back and forth, they

141
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: won to in a row one twenty one oh nine.

142
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: Haliburton gets hurt and you're like, oh, no, I don't

143
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: know about that. Yeah, that that could be the beginning

144
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: of the end, because that now now it just seems

145
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: like soonex yeah Monday Night. But still some question marks, like, hey,

146
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: was it worth all that hustle and bustle to get

147
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: to the stadium that extra flow to see one inning

148
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: even though we knew.

149
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 5: It was a seven o'clock local time start, so it

150
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 5: wasn't like one of those five pm games where you

151
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 5: really are up against it trying to get to the stadium.

152
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: I was hoping he at least went two winnings though, Sam,

153
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: I really was. And again, I know from a player perspective,

154
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: like or baseball perspective, you don't want to push him.

155
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: You don't want to push it, and that's what we expected.

156
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: But I was hoping for that at least, isn't it.

157
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: The Dodgers MO though, to be very cautious with their

158
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 5: pictures because the people upstairs or analytics.

159
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: And yeah, I was that works out really well over

160
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: the years.

161
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: I was hoping he lit him up, though if it

162
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: was one inning, I wanted some gas, like three strikeouts,

163
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: immaculate inning.

164
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: One thing the announcers pointed out was how cool it

165
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: was that show Hey walks off the mound, goes and

166
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: gears up to lead off in the batter's box, and

167
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: he said They said, he didn't say a word, retainny one,

168
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: not a coach, not a teammate, nothing. He just went

169
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: about his business and went up to bat. And I

170
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: was like that, that is kind of cool that you

171
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: step off the mound and then you go grab your

172
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: baseball back.

173
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: It's like Little League or I don't know the National

174
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: League until a couple of years ago.

175
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: You al Yankees show.

176
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: Hey, though it's different, Yeah, but they had a lot

177
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: of those pictures rich were almost sure strikeouts.

178
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt they had expectations. Do you think he

179
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: even sweats that a little bit? Meaning, here's a guy

180
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: who shines under the bright lights, he steps up, he

181
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: has cameras up his nose everywhere he goes. Do you

182
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: think he feels a little bit of nerves going out

183
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: there in this sort of moment.

184
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: I think he does, and I think he does.

185
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: Stop it, dude, he hasn't pitched his twenty twenty three

186
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 2: August twenty three. Now, after seeing that last night, I

187
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: think the bigger question to wrap this up as we

188
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: move forward, we're, you know, less than a month until

189
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: the All Star break. We're seeing how the NL and

190
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: AL are unfolding Dodgers where you thought they'd be. Is

191
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: shohe Atani part of the postseason starting rotation or is

192
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: he a weapon out of the pen?

193
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: Did maybe you make him a closer down the stretch.

194
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: Of your bullpen starts to falter like I thought that

195
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: was the plan, Like he wants to start, there's no

196
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: bullpen action, there's no relief pitcher.

197
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: He doesn't want any of that.

198
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: So you're saying, fast forward to October Baseball, Dodgers, Padres, Dodgers, Mets, Dodgers, Cubs,

199
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: Phillies like Big Series. Would we say yesterday, oh Toddy

200
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: on the hill? LIFs of risk are now you're taking

201
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: that risk and that's why you paid him the big

202
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: bucks to do exactly that. And that's what he wants

203
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: to do, So forget about.

204
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: What he wants to do. That's what they're paying him

205
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: to do.

206
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: So I know you want his bat in the lineup,

207
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 2: but you're also getting him on the mound. That's what

208
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: I think anyway, Danny g that seems to be where

209
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: it's headed right.

210
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: Otherwise, why is he starting now?

211
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: If he's healthy, he's going to be in the starting rotation.

212
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: And the cool thing is I mean maybe you spread

213
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: him out in the meantime to keep him healthy, of course,

214
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: but I think the cool thing is Cavino. We forget,

215
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: not that we I mean I didn't, but maybe the

216
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: casual fan forgets. When they went to the Universal DH,

217
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: a National League or American League team could there was

218
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: never a rule that you don't that you can't hit

219
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: your pitcher.

220
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: It just no one would ever opt for their pitcher

221
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: to hit.

222
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: So you have real flexibility with shoe hey a Tani

223
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 2: meaning Danny g middle of the game.

224
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: He could come in the.

225
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: Third inning and start pitching and no problem, meaning there's

226
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: no limitations. You will never have to take sho ha

227
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: a Tani out of the lineup, whether you start him

228
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: middle relief, close or anything. He will always be a

229
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: bat in your nine in the lineup. So there's no

230
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: old school National League like, well if you pull him out,

231
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: No he is. He's hitting no matter what. And the

232
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: new rules really favor a guy like Otani where you

233
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 2: could do whatever you want with him. Couldno, you want

234
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: to get out of a jam in the fourth inning,

235
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: you could bring on Otani for like a batter and

236
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: then right back to DH and no difference.

237
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: What's up, Dan Bayer? Yeah, that is the funny thing.

238
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 6: It's not like you have to put him at first

239
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 6: base then then move the first baseman out to bring

240
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 6: in your pitcher. It makes it very very easy box

241
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 6: score DH Dash pit you know, Dash pitcher.

242
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: It's amazing. So he's Tani is amazing last night.

243
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: Again, my criticism comes from I just want more. I

244
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: just wanted to see more, but we'll get there. I

245
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: get it's the process, but for the people that paid extra,

246
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: I do wonder how they felt about it. And you're

247
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: probably going there for the brag, like you said, So

248
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: it'll tend to have that new cocktail, that big frozen

249
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: blue bowl of jungle juice whatever it is, and that

250
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: frozen bat that they're served.

251
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: The frozen bat of goodness.

252
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: So your thoughts chime in at Covino and Rich at

253
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, and of course dandyg is always on

254
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: standby at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's

255
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: our number, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

256
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: You plan on having.

257
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: Any frozen cocktails during our broadcast on Friday as we

258
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: do it live from the Pool Circa. I've backed off

259
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: on frozen cocktails only cause sounds lame, I know, but like,

260
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: who needs the added calories?

261
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 7: Oh?

262
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what the sugar gives you? Headaches?

263
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, like slurpees in vodka.

264
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't need that RSVPs.

265
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: We got five hundred plus people, you know coming out

266
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: to see us, but don't.

267
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: Buy Cavino Miami Vice.

268
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to Lava flow. I want a vodka

269
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: soda or an old fashioned like a real man. I

270
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: just don't need the slurpees anymore. I'm not a little

271
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: young baby boy anymore. I'm all grown up.

272
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: Now.

273
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: Let's talk cry babies in sports. Yeah, I want to

274
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: set this up. There's a recent story. But there's another

275
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: story that's in the headlines, and that's Rafael Devers. You know,

276
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: the Red Sox dished them for a bunch of nobody's

277
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: a bunch of prospects from the San Francisco Giants. So

278
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: he's now a San Francisco Giant because he refused to

279
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: play first base. That's really what it comes down to.

280
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: They're saying, the minute he said no can do, I

281
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: can't go for that. No, No, the minute he said

282
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: no can do, they're like, all right, you're not willing

283
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: to do what I don't know players like Mookie Betts are.

284
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Willing to do. Play where we need you play like

285
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: a team.

286
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: Then a mental note, Yep, Raphael Devers doesn't want to

287
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: play it says it's.

288
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: Not good for him.

289
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 2: We get all that they dish him, and now he's

290
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: going to be playing DH and third, his natural position

291
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: for the Giants. The thing was, he said he wasn't

292
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: comfortable playing first base. But he also threw the management

293
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 2: and the coaching staff under the bus, saying, look, they

294
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: told me I was going to be DH. You got Bregman,

295
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: you kick me out a third. I'm the DH. Now

296
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: you want to put me at first?

297
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: Yo?

298
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: You guys playing poorly. I told you I didn't want

299
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: to play first. I don't play first. He refused to

300
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: play first. Doesn't it make you respect a Rod a

301
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: little more when you look back at how he's so

302
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: badly wanted to be a Yankee, even though you guys

303
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: in the fans sort of treated him like a chump.

304
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: He wanted to be a Yankee so bad that he's like,

305
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: I'll play third base. Derek Jeter, you got short stuff.

306
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: It makes you look back and say, did people not

307
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: give a Rod who was a bigger star than Jeter

308
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: at the time. I don't think he got enough credit.

309
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: I really your star. But you know that Jeter owned

310
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: that team and he owned New York, so I don't

311
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: think he had much of a choice. But I do

312
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: give him credit. You're right, and maybe he doesn't get

313
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: enough credit for that. And I think he wanted that ring.

314
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: He knew that was his chance to win. You know what,

315
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: I call it the softball theory. When you're playing Rex sports, softball,

316
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: pick up basketball, you name it. If you're the new

317
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: guy right, or anything for that matter. If you say, hey,

318
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: where do you play? Where can we use you?

319
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: You know what? The answer always is wherever you man,

320
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: wherever you need me.

321
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: Nothing is more I rolly than when some new kid

322
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: that's playing on a team is like, I play shortstop

323
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: and I got third. Yeah, I only play short I mean,

324
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: it's a bad look for Rex sports, So you don't

325
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: nobody could use my bad You don't think it's even

326
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: a worse look in pro sports when you're actually playing

327
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: for something of significant significance, for a World Series or

328
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: an NBA title or a Super Bowl or anything, you

329
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: don't think the answer always should be wherever.

330
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: You need me.

331
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: Well, let me plant this nugget because I want you

332
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: to look at it from a different perspective, or at

333
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: least try or maybe you're not gonna see it or

334
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: agree at all. But my first instinct was, well, my

335
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: first instinct was what a cry baby, Raphael Devers is

336
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna says, You're gonna say, Weeni, it's Weenie play

337
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: first base. You're a baseball player. You're part of the team.

338
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: They need you at first Then when they dished him,

339
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: my first thought was good, because he's a Yankee killer.

340
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: He has over thirty home runs against the Yankees in

341
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: his career, the highest a monthst active players. But then

342
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: I heard Joe Girardi talking about it rich and it

343
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: made me think a little differently, and I just want

344
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: to share that with you. Joe Girardi, former Yankees manager

345
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: and now broadcaster analyst. So he's talking about it, and

346
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: he goes, you know, it's very common, very common for

347
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: players to refuse a manager's request, he said, But the

348
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: difference here was that it was made public, and that's

349
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: where the problem is. He goes, as a former manager,

350
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: I have plenty of experience in going up to players

351
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: and saying, hey, I need you to do X, Y

352
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: and Z or play this position, and oftentimes they have

353
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: told me I'm not comfortable doing that. And if it's

354
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: such a common thing, why are we so hard on

355
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: Rafael Devers? And then he goes on to explain this too,

356
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: It's a very common misconception that anyone could just get

357
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: out there to first base and play like hey, hey,

358
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: fat guy, Hey this is a.

359
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: Who's out of shape get on first break.

360
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: This isn't little league or reck softball where it's like

361
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: the tall guy, lefty or fat guy could just play first.

362
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: Now that's that's not its major league.

363
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: This is coming from Joe Okay, former manager, so he's

364
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: sort of letting you in on the secrets. He goes,

365
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: this happens, but I'm not going to call out my

366
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: player because they told me in confidence that they weren't comfortable.

367
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to.

368
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: Put them somewhere where they're going to fail or feel uncomfortable.

369
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: That's going to be detrimental to them, their career and

370
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: the team. He goes, and this story went public, and

371
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: that's really the difference. He goes, But what he said

372
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: in his request is no different than what happens all

373
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: the time. And he said, the biggest misconception is that

374
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: first base is easy, get out there and play.

375
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: He goes, It's not easy. It's not an easy position

376
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: to learn.

377
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: And when you think about it, aside from catching, I

378
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: would say that first base is your second skill position.

379
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 2: You have to learn how to how to position yourself

380
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: and cover the bag. You have to learn how to

381
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: scoop the ball. You have to have a special glove,

382
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: Like there's certain things that go along with so to

383
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 2: respect Raffield evers to just get out there and play

384
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: when he's never played before is kind of understandable, especially

385
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: from a veteran. And and I was gonna say leader

386
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: of the team. He didn't act like a leader in

387
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: this moment, but he's a guy who delivers. Yeah, I mean,

388
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: Kevino makes the point in that, for all we know,

389
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: pick any other star on a team, for all you know,

390
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper or lindor you.

391
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: Know, Aaron Judge.

392
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: They might have been like, yo, Judge, how do you

393
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: feel about you know, playing first base or dad?

394
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: Or he might have said yeah, coach for real, like

395
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: not feeling.

396
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: I know, I'm not comfortable there, and like okay, so

397
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: we're not going to put you there. But this became

398
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: such a thing where it's like no, but we need

399
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 2: you there. Because they again poor planning, which he called

400
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: them out on, they had no choice but to try

401
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: to get him there. So the moment they were able

402
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: to dish him, they did. So is he right or wrong?

403
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: When you listen to both sides? Is he a cry baby?

404
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: Or did he have a point? This is the major leagues.

405
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 2: This is his career. Do you want to put somewhere

406
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: where you're not going to shine your brightest and and

407
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: have that potential to fail and all of a sudden

408
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: everyone's thinking you suck, when meanwhile, hey, I'm not a

409
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: first basement. I'm saying, look at us. There is the

410
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: sentiment that you said that everyone that's a fan loves

411
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: to lead with they're getting paid millions, but that doesn't

412
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: necessarily mean that's what's best for you, your future, the team, everything,

413
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: just because someone pays you millions. Like if you got

414
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 2: your reputation, if you got a contract here at Fox

415
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: and it was for a really nice amount of money,

416
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: they're like, you have. But Covino, what we want you

417
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 2: to do is before every show, you got to just

418
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: pop on Instagram live and start dancing. Okay, now think

419
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: about this, so hold on, think about this, guys. I

420
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: want everyone to think about it because we're real quick

421
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: and I look, I can't stand Rafael Dever. It's because

422
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: he's a Yankee killer, but I do understand that everybody

423
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: has strengths and weaknesses.

424
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: This guy wanted to.

425
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: Lean into his strengths and not expose himself as an unqualified, unskilled,

426
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: first basement, something he wasn't comfortable with, so he spoke out,

427
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 2: and it makes him look weak. If management did come

428
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: up to me and said, hey, I I need you

429
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 2: to dance because there's a new trends on TikTok and

430
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: we think that'd be great for our social media pages,

431
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, man, I'm not that comfortable being your

432
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 2: social media clown like that. That's not who I am.

433
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: That's not my persona. I'm not good at that. Maybe

434
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 2: rich is good at that, but I'm not good at that.

435
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: So you're asking me to do something I'm not comfortable with.

436
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 2: So is he wrong? Is he a cry baby or not?

437
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: Because we have another cry baby cry baby story in

438
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: the next And by the way, you would not dance

439
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: on social media, you know what, I'm rich because that's

440
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: not my strength. The difference, though Kavino, would be if

441
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: my strength is is doing what we do here on

442
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: the air. If the boss then said, yeah, I get it, Covino,

443
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: that's not you, Versus then went out and said, can

444
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: you believe Cavino won't be a team player and dance?

445
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: And that's what happened.

446
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: That what happened, and when Joe Gardis saying that happens

447
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: all the time, it just doesn't go public because he

448
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: wants to protect his players and vice versa. Doesn't that

449
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: make you think a little bit? I mean, it's coming

450
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 2: from Girardi has a little experience here. Even on the

451
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: simplest term. Sometimes we're asked, are you guys willing to

452
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: do this commercial read? I'm always like, yeah, sure, cool,

453
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: But imagine there was a host. It's like, I don't

454
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: want to do that one, and then the boss made

455
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: a deal about it. There's not there's not. It's not

456
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 2: always a yes, yeah, so not. Sometimes they'll throw things

457
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: my way. I'm like, yeah, I don't feel comfortable doing that.

458
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: I don't.

459
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: So why do we expect Why do we have this misconception.

460
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: I'm Steve Cavino for butt Creem. We have a misconception

461
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: that just because he's a fat guy Raphael Devers, yeah,

462
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: or he's not that spelt let's put it that way,

463
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: that he should go out there and he's scooping him

464
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: up like he's marked to Scherer. It's a skilled position

465
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: to how to straddle the bag is another thing. How

466
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: to position yourself, how to stretch he wasn't willing to

467
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: do it. But guess what, he's not the only cry

468
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: baby quote unquote cry baby in sports.

469
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: There's another story. We're going to get to it.

470
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, a story in the NFL, and it's the reason

471
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: why a star player, a guy on the rise, said

472
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 2: you know, I'm done, I'm retiring.

473
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: So again, we'll get to that. Next, we're gonna play

474
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: a fun game. Quote me.

475
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,440

00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,800

00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 2: talk about that, but we got a lot. That's a

482
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: that's a misconception. He never wore one.

483
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,639

00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: We'll get that.

533
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: I thought you were a fan of the porn. Did

534
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: you ever see the porn version?

535
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: No?

536
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: I did, Rich has and of course Dan Byer, you've

537
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: ever seen it? What is it called a ten inch mutant?

538
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: You got, there's a version of it.

539
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: I was not expecting that question.

540
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: What if our listeners said it to us once and like,

541
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: what is this? Whoa watch the O'Neill. We're going to

542
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: talk about cry babies and our sports are continuing this conversation.

543
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: Raphael Devers was traded.

544
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: From the Red Sox to the Giants in exchange for

545
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 2: Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison, James Tibbs and some cracker jack yeah,

546
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: and health prospects. No one of significance, because the Red

547
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 2: Sox were like, dude, you're a crying baby and we

548
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 2: want you to be a team player. But Joe Girardi

549
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: made me think differently. He said that there's a misconception

550
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 2: that anyone could get out there and play first base

551
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: at a major league level, and that players often came

552
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 2: to him to express that they're not comfortable doing certain things,

553
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: so it's not out of the noise, and it made

554
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: me double think. So your thoughts on that, however, There

555
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: is an update on the Dever story because I don't

556
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: know if you saw this. As of today, Craig Breslow,

557
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 2: a Red Sox executive, has been getting all sorts of

558
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 2: threats from making this deal, and he's trying to put

559
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: the fires out saying no, we're confident this is all

560
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: going to work out in the future, because, whether you

561
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 2: like Devers or not, he produced for the Red Sox.

562
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: Move over Nico Harrison. Yeah, am I right? An angry

563
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: fan released his address publicly.

564
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not been taken kindly. The Red Sox

565
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: got rid of Babe Ruth, they got rid of No Mo,

566
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: no Mob, no bets, and now Rafael Devers. Again, this

567
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: guy is a slugger. He just didn't want to play

568
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: first and it rubbed people the wrong way. So your

569
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: thoughts when you really think about it, and when you

570
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: put yourself in his cleats, do you want to do

571
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: things you're.

572
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: Not comfortable with.

573
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 2: I thought of this before we get to the other

574
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 2: story about the NFL.

575
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: This is not just sports. If you got hired for

576
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: a job.

577
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: And by the way, he was a big dog, that's

578
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: like you think big dogs here at s at Fox Sports, right,

579
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: you think they would all of a sudden want to

580
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: do the overnight shift because they needed him to. They'd

581
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: be like, Yo, I've been here hitting home runs forever, Colin,

582
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna be on at ten pm every night. You think, well,

583
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: we need your Colin. We're short on steage. You think

584
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: you'd be like, oh, sure, I think I have something

585
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 2: to say about it.

586
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: Guess who's not on it that hour? Stars like Mari

587
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: It's a star.

588
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: So I'm just trying to look like I said, I'm

589
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 2: not in a business of defending this guy.

590
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: I hate him, but.

591
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: I do see a little bit of his side when

592
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: you think about it from that perspective.

593
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: Well, then again, there are people that do roll with

594
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: the punches. Danny J.

595
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: You're big, You're a big hip hop guy, You're a

596
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: big music guy. It does it stun you sometimes when

597
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 2: sometimes there's such a good thing going on a rock band,

598
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: a hip hop group, and there's like creative differ for instance,

599
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh man, you got something so good

600
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: you can't just get.

601
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Along and roll with it. Some people have.

602
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 2: A harder time rolling with the punches, Like you might argue, Yo,

603
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: Raphael Devers, you couldn't roll with the punches. You couldn't

604
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: you couldn't just you know, welcome the new guy. We

605
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 2: got another superstar in the lineup for you. Some people

606
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: just are like, no, I'm not going to roll.

607
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: Through their face. That's what I do. That's what I do.

608
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 2: I wintled And now there's another crime baby in the

609
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: world of sports. Well it happened a year ago, but

610
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: we finally got to the bottom of this. He was

611
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: a pro bowler for your Raiders, Danny g But again,

612
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: tight end, keep that in mind.

613
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: Darren Walla one of my favorite players on the Raiders

614
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: at the time. Unfortunately he ran into a lot of injuries. Yeah,

615
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: you know, for a minute, I also got sidetracked with

616
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: a hip hop career. Speaking of hip hop, if you

617
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: could call it a career.

618
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: My mom's a Raiders fan like you, and I remember

619
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: her being like, I love Darren Waller, great.

620
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: Dude, and yeah, really really good tight end. But he

621
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: was from the practice squad in Baltimore and Gruden helped

622
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 3: him elevate all the way up to one of the

623
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 3: best tight ends in the country.

624
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, Brock Bawers made you forget about that guy.

625
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: But but the story came out when he got traded

626
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: to the Raiders. There was a reason why he ended

627
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: up retiring taking to the Giants. You mean when I

628
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: say he got traded to the trader to the Giants,

629
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: That's what I meant.

630
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 7: We were running like this counter lead running play and

631
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 7: I'm kind of like leading through the hole like I'm

632
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 7: a full back and the play is working. But I

633
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 7: sit down on the sideline after like a drive where

634
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 7: he ran like three times, and I'm like, what am

635
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 7: I doing with my life? I'm not here playing fullback.

636
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 7: I don't want to do this anymore. And I'm just

637
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 7: like looking at the moon. It's like early first quarter

638
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 7: or second quarter. Nobody else would really even know that

639
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 7: I'm thinking this, but almost alling, Like, yep, I'm going

640
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 7: to finish this year with the best of my ability,

641
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 7: but I'm definitely done playing after this year.

642
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: So that's Darren Waller again, who decided to retire after

643
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: the Giants made him play full back against the Bills.

644
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: So again another guy resistant to play a different position.

645
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: Ty end.

646
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: He had experience as a tight end, but then again,

647
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: when you grow up and you're a professional, you probably

648
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: have experience all over the place, right, But again, at

649
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 2: a professional level could be a big ask, so, crime, baby,

650
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: you're not based on the whole Devers story refusing to

651
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: play first. Obviously he was bitter about Bregman. You got

652
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: Darren Waller now admitting why he decided to retire. How

653
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: do you feel about it? Are these cry babies in sports?

654
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: Or do you see their side? We made a case.

655
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 2: I think we made a case for both sides of it,

656
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: Like your inability to roll with the punches on a

657
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: highest level of what you do, versus Hey, listen, if

658
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: you're a big star, you might say, well, guess.

659
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: Who doesn't have to roll with the punches? The big star?

660
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: Should Rafael Devers the best player on the Red Sox

661
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: before they get Bregman? Should the best player have to

662
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: quote roll with the punches? That's what I'm saying. So

663
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: there are just two sides. There's two sides to the story.

664
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: We were quick to see one that was sort of

665
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: the point, and I got a credit again Jojo already

666
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: for making me at least see it in a different way.

667
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: But I think it depends who you are.

668
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 2: But then again, there's always the mookie Bets of the

669
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: world that just they're just awesome at everything. Yeah, and

670
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: they just excel everywhere they go. But you know what,

671
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: not everybody's like Mookie Bets. That's the other thing. Not

672
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: everybody's good at that. Not everybody's as versatile as Mookie

673
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: Bets does it makes them great. Let's go to Mitch

674
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: in New Jersey. Mitchie, you looking at it as cry

675
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: babies or listen. I'm a big star player. I don't

676
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 2: want to play just anywhere.

677
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 4: You tell me, oh, well, how you guys doing?

678
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: Good man? What's up weekends?

679
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 4: I traded him because months he's okay. But he's doing tailor.

680
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: As clear as you will get Joshau.

681
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: But I think he does that right. The age is

682
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 4: pretty born first base. You know you're not get that

683
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 4: much action.

684
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: And activity the age.

685
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 8: The third is our.

686
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: Core and he should get some may weight always others

687
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 4: get good presidence.

688
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: And you know, Mitch just made me think of you

689
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: know what you just Mitch just all I said that

690
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: I needed to hear.

691
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: Was I heard hot corner.

692
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: When you play an infield position and you've honed your

693
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: abilities to be like, you know, I'm an infielder.

694
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: Man.

695
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: If your team that you signed a big deal with

696
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: is like, yeah, that's not you anymore?

697
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: Is he pretty much saying like, yeah, that's not me anymore,

698
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Or no, not really? All right?

699
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: Heat his mind is I'm a left side of the

700
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: infield guy. I'm I can handle that hop, I'm a

701
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: I got the hot corner.

702
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: It's a very reaction position.

703
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: And now you're telling them, yeah, like you're as long

704
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: as you're with this organization, Yeah, that's not you anymore.

705
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: You're a DH You're gonna play first base. I want

706
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: to do that. Like that's sort of an adjustment.

707
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: That would be Hey, guess what, you know what you're

708
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: you're making exceptions for Shohio Tani. No one really what

709
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: do you really want to pitch and take that risk? Yeah,

710
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: I know you're paying him a lot of money, But

711
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: it's also him saying, no, I'm a pitcher and this

712
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: is what I want to do.

713
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: So they're like, okay, whenever.

714
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: You say show Hey, you know, dude, Devers is a

715
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: big star in Boston.

716
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't know about Waller.

717
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that with the Giants.

718
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: It was them stepping on his toes or should he

719
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: have I think he wasn't what he was a big

720
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: star with the Giants at the time. This was twenty

721
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: twenty three, his eighth year in the league.

722
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

723
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was about a year and a half removed

724
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: from Pro Bowl form at that time.

725
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: Right, I had with some injuries, you know, Kimno, I

726
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: had one more analogy because I'm gonna I think that

727
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: was almost the reality check of like, oh, I guess

728
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm not the superstar tight end that I once was.

729
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: They got me here a full back.

730
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: It was like a realization he had in that moment too,

731
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 2: I guess I should retire. I'm gonna beat this horse

732
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: to death with one ten second analogy. Then we'll go

733
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: to Dan Buyer for an update. You've been playing rock

734

738
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 2: Your side hustle was like, Yeah, that's great, We're putting

739
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 2: you on Prime Country. It's a great example. I'd be like, look, respectfully,

740
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: it's not what I do. I'm not comfortable doing it.

741
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: You want to be a team player to my hop

742
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: along Cavino, hop Along Stevie with your country hits. I

743
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: don't know anything about country. You learn it and I'm like, yeah,

744
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: but I'm a veteran, like I've been. We've been doing

745
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: this a long time. Why do I got to do that?

746
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: Didn't we see this in the Howard Stern movie. Yes,

747
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: and he went to Detroit.

748
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: He turned it to hop Along.

749
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, and it always comes back to this.

750
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: It always comes back to this two things. Actually, Well,

751
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: it's a team sport, are you Are you a team

752
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: player or not? And then it always comes back to

753
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: but we're paying you so much money? Ye look like

754
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: an ass clown on a high level, no doubt.

755
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: dB. What's going on? Man? What's up? Fellas?

756
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: Let's just get right into it.

757
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 6: Tyrese Halliburn of the Pacers dealing with a reported calf

758
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 6: strain that's going into ESPN. He's gonna have an MRI

759
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 6: and then at that point the Pacers will determine the

760
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 6: severity of the injury and figure out a plan going forward.

761
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 3: It's got a couple of days.

00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,760

00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: obviously for the first time with the Dodgers. He did

840
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: his part with his bat though Dodgers beat up on

841
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,160

849
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 2: We're Coveno and Rich everything at Covino and Rich. And

850
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: to wrap up our first hour, Darren Waller decided to

851
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: retire after the new York Football Giants made him play

852
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: full back against the Bills. He was a tight end.

853
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 2: He's like, what am I doing playing fullback? And it

854
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 2: sort of ties into Raphael Dever saying, Yo, I'm a veteran,

855
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: the star of the team, and you're asking me to

856
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 2: play first base.

857
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to.

858
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: And because of la resistance, one player retires, this guy

859
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: gets traded and today they introduce him as a San

860
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: Francisco Giant. But you know your thoughts on people saying no,

861
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: I'm not comfortable with this, the change of scenery, the

862
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: change of position. Well, what have we learned of the

863
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 2: cry baby? You're not everything? You say yes means you're

864
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: saying no to something else. So by saying yes to that,

865
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 2: he's saying no to doing what he really wants, and

866
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: that's play infield. All right, Bruno, real quick, you got

867
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: thirty seconds? What's up, Brooklyn.

868
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 4: Boys, I'll make it fast. Hey, listen, I just I

869
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 4: never I rarely sided with the player, but I got

870
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 4: to say, toughest, toughest position of the hottest position besides

871
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 4: the catcher. On that deal, that's he's the most action

872
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,959
Speaker 4: is first base. And if you're not comfortable there it's

873
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 4: not good, and I think he was okay, not wanting

874
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: to do it, but because of the value of a

875
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 4: player he is, they should have made some sort of

876
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: amends for him to move off on to you know,

877
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 4: a different position, or keep his carent position. But I'll

878
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 4: side with him like that.

879
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: Man. He meant a lot to the fans, to the team,

880
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: and look, I'm glad as the Yankees fan that he's gone, Danny.

881
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 2: Don't look now the team two games behind the Dodgers

882
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: in the NL West. Now got Rafael Dever's in that lineup,

883
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: So the Giants looking a lot better as of right now.

884
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 2: All right, we got more CNR next right here, Fox

885
