34
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: headline Boo the Brew, Boo the Brew the headline on

35
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: this It was game number two in the National League

36
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: Championship Series. The Land of Darry and the Pesky brew Crew.

37
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: That's how they were built on the Marque. If you

38
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: look at the Marquis, the Brewers build is that pesky

39
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: team looking to square things up against the big Blue

40
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: wrecking crew, the Boys in Blue. Now, I don't know

41
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: if you watch this game or not. It was on Turner.

42
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: I watched so you would not have to and you

43
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: didn't miss all that much. You did not miss all

44
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: that much. Now, the story of the game was something

45
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: that barely happens in modern baseball, something that has not

46
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: happened very much of the last decade in the sport

47
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: of baseball. What is that dominate starting pitching yet again,

48
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Yoshinomu Yamamoto a three hitter for the first postseason complete

49
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: game in let me check my notes here, eight years.

50
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: It had been eight I barely remember, barely remember the

51
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: last time this happened. So that's been a while. The

52
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: Dodgers beat the pulp out of the once proud Brewers

53
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: five to one. They extend their lead in the NLCS.

54
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: It's a best of seven, not a best of five.

55
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: It was the best of five. It would be much worse.

56
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: It's not much better at best of seven. But Yamamoto

57
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: with the gem the domination situation at a time you

58
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: need to dominate. He dominated in Game two. And that

59
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: comes one night after bro I'm risking my life, bra Yeah,

60
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Blake Snell, I ain't playing unless I get mine. Went

61
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: out there and allowed one hit over eight shutout innings

62
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: in the game one two to one. Win.

63
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: I'm playing unless I get well.

64
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: He got his and he's playing, and on this night, yeah,

65
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm a moto. If you saw the game, you know

66
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: the Brewers, the crowd going wild there. Everyone had their

67
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: brew Crew gear on. They were fired up, they had

68
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: a lot of merch and I had won nothing. Lead

69
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: Jackson Turio the home run of the first pitch of

70
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: the game the Brewers saw, and it was all downhill

71
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: from there. The Dodgers get some long ball support. Tailor

72
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: Hernandez hit a home run. Max Munsey also had a

73
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: ding dong, and you don't think of Max Munsey as

74
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: one of the great postseason players in Dodger history, yet

75
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: he now has the record for most career postseason home

76
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: runs for the LA Dodgers fourteen. The real drama, though,

77
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: was that there was no trauma. There was like no

78
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: one month game one. We had that moment right ninth

79
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: inning the Brewers were coming back and they did the

80
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: thing you can't do at the time, you can't do it.

81
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: That was some drama. That's good talk radio. On this night,

82
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: there was not that moment. There was not that moment

83
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: in this game. They mentioned the Dodgers fell behind early

84
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: and once they got the lead, that was it. They

85
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: did not give up the lead. So the better story, though,

86
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room, a gloomy Milwaukee Brewers

87
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: locker room. Despite the top record in the National League,

88
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: one of the great seasons in regular season history, Milwaukee

89
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: at home the strange brew they are now zero for

90
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: two in this series. Now, Pat Murphy after the game,

91
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: he was trying to put on a happy face there.

92
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: He said, you guys might have counted us out, he said,

93
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: He said, but I understanding, He said, ninety percent of

94
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: the times that are in this situation have not won.

95
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: But but Pat Murphy said, this team has been counted

96
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: out a lot this year, and I think there's some

97
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: fight left in them. Close quote. All right, So let

98
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: us discuss the question what the hell is wrong? What

99
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: is wrong with Pat Murphy's Milwaukee Brewers. This is very

100
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: Unbrewer like what we've seen from this team the first

101
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: couple of games. So my thoughts on this. I've got

102
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: missus Robinson, Apple Watch, and Rattlesnake, and we will combine

103
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: these three random things together and we are going to

104
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: make some delicious cheese curds, is what we're going to make.

105
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: So a, it's like a magic show. It is like

106
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: I want to see a magic show. It's like before

107
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: you're Houdini. Not from Wisconsin, but there's a Harry Houdini

108
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: museum up in Appleton, and I have been there. My

109
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: brother lives there. It was his birthday, so I called him.

110
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: We're talking about great things about Appleton, Wisconson, and he says,

111
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: my brother does not have the sports gene. He's lacking

112
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: the sports dean, and so he's but he tries to

113
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: engage me with sports conversations. So he's like, oh, my Brewers,

114
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: you know. It's like, yeah, I don't think he watched

115
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: the game, but anyway, it's like a magic strake before

116
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: our eyes, before our eyes. There the Brewers look like

117
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: absolute feeble pushovers. It's the junior varsity versus the varsity.

118
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: From what we've seen here, especially on offense, my god,

119
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: it's more like a late night infomercial how not to

120
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: hit a baseball the Milwaukee brewerway. My man handled by

121
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: Blake Snelling game one and Yoshinobu Yamamoto and game number two,

122
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee hitters appear to be completely shell shocked, rattled overmashed.

123
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what other words you want me to use.

124
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: It's not good. It's almost like somebody played a prank

125
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: on them. And the equipment manager said, we don't need

126
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: the Louisville Sluggers anymore. Let's get rid of the Louisville sluggers.

127
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: Let's use those nerf bats. We'll use to see if

128
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: we can hit with those nerf bats. It's not going

129
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: well and they're not playing their game. We were talking

130
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: about the Cubs and the Brewers, and the Cub fans

131
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: are loving us. By the way, based on the feedback

132
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm getting, there is no better joy than shot in

133
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: freude and the Chicago cub marching in Shata society. And

134
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm not checked in with senior members like Tree or

135
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: your Femi, but some of the people that do listen

136
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: in the Illinois and in the Chicago land area, who

137
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: are people send me emails on a random basis if said, well,

138
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: this is what the Brewers deserve. They put up that

139
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: l flag, they mocked the Cubs. They've cursed themselves, they've

140
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: jinked themselves, the Milwaukee Brewers because when they took the

141
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: photo after they beat the Cubs, apparently they had to

142
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: I didn't see this the day it happened, but apparently

143
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: they held up a white flag with the blue l

144
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: the sibil the signal loss and for the Cubs, so

145
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: their cub fans are very excited about this. But back

146
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: to the case at hand. So the Brewer is not

147
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: playing their game, undisciplined at the plate, swinging, chasing pitches, swinging,

148
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: trying to hit home runs. If you're going to try

149
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: to out Homer the Dodgers that now, I didn't play

150
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: major League baseball, I just do an overnight talk sho.

151
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good strategy, but what do

152
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: I know, Maybe that'll work out for you. Not really

153
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: working the counts. The whole thing about the Brewers was

154
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: small ball, that they've got patience and all of that

155
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: is just rubbish, absolute rubbish at this particular point, it's

156
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: insomnia inducing it. I like the Dodgers. I'm not complaining

157
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: about it. I didn't expect the series to start out

158
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: the way it is started. But it's like these guys.

159
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: For the Brewers, they saw a ghosts or something like that.

160
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: And the ghost name I actually know the name is

161
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: not Casper, it's not the stave puff marshmallow Man. The

162
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: ghost is named high spin Rate. Very scary, that ghost

163
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: high spin rate. They don't like it. The Brewers hitters.

164
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: I did the math on this. Now it's malor math,

165
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: which may or may not be correct, but the malor

166
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: math on this. The Brewers Hitters, through two games in

167
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: the National League Championship Series are batting eighty six, which

168
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: I believe is a highway in the Midwest eighty six.

169
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: The offense has gone from feisty to absolutely feeble in

170
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: these first two games, and so we need to rewrite.

171
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: We need Paul Simon to rewrite Missus Robinson and that

172
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: classic song where have you Gone? Robin Yaut and Paul

173
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: molletor Brewer's Nation turns its lonely eyes to you because

174
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the guy's currently playing. It's like a pirate term there

175
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: she blues, my god, Christian Yelich, William Contreras, two guys

176
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of the Brewers lineup both oh for

177
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: seven combined. That's oh for fourteen. Now that the game

178
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: changing moment. And this kind of reminds me there was

179
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: a World Series in the mid nineties and we're doing

180
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: some talk shows after random that just popped in my

181
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: head when I was watching Game two and thinking about,

182
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: what's the moment here if this thing continues the way

183
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: it's going, And the Podres played the Yankees, and it

184
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: was at Yankee Stadium. This is during the Joe Tory

185
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: years when the Yankees were winning World Series regularly and

186
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: all that, and the Padres were like his upstart Nation

187
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: League team. I think it was the first inning. Mark

188
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: Langston was on the mound. He was a pitcher for

189
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: the Padres, and he threw a pitch that was clearly

190
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: a strike that was not called to strike. And then

191
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: and I'm doing this off my memory, I believe Tino

192
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: Martinez then hit like a Grand Slam later in the

193
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: bat or whatever, later in the inning, and that was

194
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: like the end of that World Series. And it happened

195
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: very early in the World Series. Now this is obviously

196
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: not the World Series, but the National League Championship Series.

197
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: The game changing moment bottom of the ninth I go

198
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: back to Game one, Bryce Terrang failed to do the

199
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: thing you were supposed to do at the time you

200
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: were supposed to do it. As I go back to that,

201
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: he pogo sticked out of the way, bases were loaded,

202
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: Brewers down by a run. The Dodger bullpen was on

203
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: the ropes. They were on the ropes, and you tie

204
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: the game. Even if you don't win the game in

205
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth, you're going the rest of

206
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: the way against the suck bag Dodger bullpen. And the

207
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: next pitch Bryce terrang after he dodged the hit hit

208
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: by pitch that would have scored the tying run. He

209
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: then swung at a pitch that even Victor Wembanyama of

210
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs is about ten feet tall, would

211
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: not have swung at. And there you go. So that

212
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: was the Brewers moment until proven otherwise. There she goes

213
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: now on another page of this breakdown thorough in depth

214
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: team coverage, which is just me and my many personalities

215
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: breaking down the nationally Championship series. So is Yoshinobu Yamamoto's

216
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: performance a feel good story for the Dodgers. The way

217
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: it was being described on the TV broadcast, the Turner

218
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: broadcast made it seem like this is some kind of

219
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: amazing accomplishment that needs to be celebrated and everyone needs

220
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: to just get up and toast Yoshinobu Yavamoto. So he

221
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: was both wonderful. And my answer is no, this is

222
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: not some kind of feel good performance for or Yamamoto.

223
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: You don't get a pat on the back. This is

224
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: my general rule of thumb, and you're free to disagree.

225
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: You don't get a pat on the back for doing

226
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: the job description that you signed up for. The only

227
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: thing that I take away from that performance is ROI

228
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: return on investment. That's it. The Dodgers got return on investment.

229
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: They didn't just waste their time flying to Japan to

230
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: watch the cherry blossoms, right, They went there to sign

231
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: this guy. They gave him twelve years and a hunt

232
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: and three hundred and twenty five million. That's a whole

233
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of cherry blossoms. And they handed him the keys

234
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: to Javez Ravine twelve year contract for a pitcher. And

235
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: so they didn't give him that money so they could say, well, gee, thanks,

236
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: thanks for the effort. We're god you tried, We're glad

237
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: you tried. No one, No, that's not it. They bought

238
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: a symphony conductor. They needed a conductor of the symphony,

239
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: and Yamamoto provided that he was Beethoven's fifth in that

240
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: game on the Mound at Cornucopia, of goodness and for once,

241
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: and let's make sure we don't save the tape on this.

242
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm about to say this, but the

243
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: nerds got it right in this game. They got it right.

244
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts, who makes no real decisions, but the nerds

245
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: instructed Dave Roberts not to do the thing he would

246
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: normally do. And if it was the regular season and

247
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: Yamamoto was pitching like this, Dave Roberts would have yanked

248
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: him out after five and the third innings out of

249
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: an abundance of caution because his Apple watch, his Apple

250
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: Watch would have said pitcher fatigue, Pitcher fatigue. Woo would

251
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: have lit up just like that oOoOO, pitcher fiftigue. But no,

252
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: they let him pitch. Oh my god, one hundred and

253
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: eleven pitches. Should we call in the Red Cross right now?

254
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: One hundred and eleven pitches? O MG? Imagine that the

255
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: first postseason complete game since cheating a one one thousand

256
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: and two one thousand hole Justin Verlander in twenty seventeen.

257
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: So will Yamamoto now need terminator like surgeries? He You're

258
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to have a metal part put into his

259
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: body to replace part of his arm. Now because he

260
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: pitched one hundred eleven pitches. Inquiring minds would like to

261
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: know developing hot dot dot dot now in a positive note,

262
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: because I am Betty Brightside and I did not expect

263
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: this performance from the Dodgers. The bullpen in Game two flawless.

264
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: It is amazing how good the bullpen is when they're

265
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: sitting there getting hemorrhoids watching the game. Holy cramp. Are

266
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: they good? They are really good. The key to the

267
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: Dodger bullpen is to not pitch the Dodger bullpen. They're amazing,

268
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: all right, last word, quick ley, all right, So how

269
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: do you explain the Dodgers winning these games when they

270
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: are getting little to nothing from the big boppers? The

271
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: big boppers are not really boppin' in the Dodger lineup,

272
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: So do the math on this. Now. We mentioned the

273
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Brewers having their problems, which are I mean, that's legendarily bad.

274
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: But there the Dodgers Shoel Tani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie

275
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: Bets in the first two games of the National League

276
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: Championship Series on the road are batting one twenty five

277
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: against Milwaukee pitching. I know, Freddie Freeman at a home

278
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: runner Tony did have an RBI riby hit here in

279
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: Game two, but that is whack a doodle, is what

280
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: that is. That's the nature of it. As John Sterling

281
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: would say, that's baseball, Susan. The Dodgers top hitters not

282
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: hitting there, and the Dodgers this is the issue though totally.

283
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: I totally understand why people are upseting. I mean, I'm

284
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: not upset, obviously, I like the Dodgers and all that stuff.

285
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: But the Dodgers will, like the United States Navy, by land,

286
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: by sea, by air, whatever it takes, right, whatever it takes.

287
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: And this is why there's so much animosity. And this

288
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: thing's gonna get really ug that this continues for the

289
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: playoffs and the Dodgers win two more games and then

290
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: beat Seattle in the World Series. It is I'm ely

291
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: gonna blow the top off. It's a tinderbox right now. Oh,

292
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: it's up so tired. They're running baseball. My god. Polite

293
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: society does not appreciate the monster mashing on the mound

294
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: that's going on for the Dodgers. And they do come

295
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: in convoys like so the top guys aren't hitting the tail.

296
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: Hernandez gets some big hits and keyk Hernandez and this

297
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: guy and that guy and all that stuff. I'm telling you,

298
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: if this continues, major League Baseball is heading towards a

299
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: point of demarcation here where the halves versus the have

300
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: notes and they are going to make it like Nascar.

301
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna put restrictor plates on what you can spend

302
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: and how you can spend it, and they are going

303
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: to de ball the Dodgers. So my advice to my

304
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: fellow Dodger Officionatos is enjoy this because in a couple

305
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: of years there's gonna be a work stoppage and they're

306
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: gonna cut your balls off and you're gonna have to

307
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: trade some of these guys. I'm telling you it's gonna

308
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: be ugly because the Dodgers are too good and people

309
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: are annoyed by it. It's also annoying that they don't

310
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: give a rats ass about the regular season. It's disgusting.

311
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: Makes me want to puke in my mouth that these

312
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: guys lolligag during the regular season and then just show

313
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: up in October and now here we go. All right, now,

314
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: is the NLCS over right? Is it over? Let's take

315
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: the temperature in the room, but the temperature in the

316
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: room is obviously luke warm. Is the champagne on ice

317
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, Well, not quite yet. And see the

318
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: thing about this, and well, it certainly favors the Dodgers done.

319
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: It has happened in the past. There have been teams,

320
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: granted not many, that have come back in this situation.

321
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: Until you get that final out of the closeout game.

322
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: There is more work to be done obviously here and

323
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: it's not over. There's a very fat woman somewhere who's

324
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: warming up her vocal cords getting ready to sing here.

325
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers they got Glass now coming in Game three,

326
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: and he's got major choke itis. And you know, they,

327
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: from what I've been told by people out there, they're

328
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: afraid to pitch him on the road because he's not

329
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: that tough a guys, kind of a softy. So they're

330
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: going to pitch him at home. Hope then he'll be

331
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: okay there. So we'll see how that goes down. And

332
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: if they don't win Game three and then Altani doesn't

333
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: go more than six innings or something like that, they

334
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: got to go to the bullpen. Then the bullpen blows

335
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: up all of a sudden it's tied up. But the

336
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: history says, well, it's not done done, but it's kind

337
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: of done at this point. And if you look at it,

338
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: since there is no such thing as momentum in baseball,

339
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: it's an eighty eight percent chance that tells you what

340
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: has happened, not what's going to happen. But the Brewers

341
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: have a golden opportunity. So if I was on the

342
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: Brewers side, the golden opportunities rather obvious. Here, you become

343
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: an all time icon if you can be on the

344
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: team that comes back. There have been three teams in

345
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: the current format, the two three to two format, that

346
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: have been able to come back, and they're all iconic

347
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: baseball teams, depending how old you are. The nineteen eighty

348
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: five Kansas City Royal Steve Bye by Balboni, and you

349
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: think of George Brett, some of the legends, Mookie Wilson,

350
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: not Mooki Wilson. That was Willie Wilson on that eighty

351
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: eighty five Royals team. In the eighty six Mets had

352
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Mookie Wilson, they had Lenny Nails Dykstra and legends like

353
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Darryl Strawberry, and they of course came back with the

354
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: Red Sox. And you look at the the Jim Laretz

355
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six Yankees against the Atlanta Braves, Labrett hit

356
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: this massive home run. I think it was off Mark

357
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: Wohlders if I remember in the nineteen ninety six World

358
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: Series in Atlanta, and that's an all time moment for

359
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: that era of Yankee baseball. And so you back a rattlesteam.

360
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: I heard this somewhere along the way. You back a

361
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: rattlesnake into a corner and it strikes. Yeah, Now what

362
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: happens if you back a cornered brewer into a corner?

363
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: You know what happens. No, you ever heard of beer muscles? No,

364
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: you never heard of beer muscles. Beer muscles are a thing.

365
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: Might shotgun a couple PBRs and start throwing haymakers. Watch

366
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: out all right again? Just all takes one bad adding

367
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: from Glassnow, brewers win that game. Tony goes five innings.

368
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: You got to the bullpend, Suzaki blows it, and all

369
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're dead up to too.

400
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: to the football. If you want to still yap about baseball.

401
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: See you guys on a whole want still yap about baseball,

402
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: You can stay there or call up and screaming, shout

403
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But our lead this hour is

404
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: from Cansa City, the home of the Ben Mather Chicken figures.

405
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are back, baby, The Chiefs are back after

406
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: that win on Monday night against the Lions. However, that

407
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: is not the story from that game that people are

408
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: yapping about. It's still got legs. A couple days later

409
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: here after the Chiefs played a perfect game. Let me

410
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: repeat that for those of you a little slow in

411
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: the back of the room. The Chiefs played a perfect game,

412
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: zero penalties against the Detroit football team coach Andy Reid

413
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: was asked about his opinion on the referees performance that

414
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: do you think that Andy Reid a ripped the referees,

415
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: said they should have called seventeen penalties against us, be

416
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: said the referees did a great job. Or see had

417
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: no comment. What do you think he said? Did you

418
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: see what he said? Did you see his response? You

419
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: did not see his response? No, you did not, Okay,

420
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: perhaps you perhaps you missed it. So Andy Reid gave

421
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: a measured response. Is the way I will describe it here.

422
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: He said, quote, I thought the officials let the guys play.

423
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I agreed with everything that went on.

424
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: Reid said, but you know what that means. But I

425
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: thought they were very fair on how they did it. Okay,

426
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: So that's the point they're made by Ady Reed. Andy

427
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: Reid said that it was quote good for the fans. Now,

428
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: based on listener feedback that I've gotten from the State

429
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: of Michigan, they did not agree that it was good

430
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: for the fans. They did not agree with that, and

431
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: every penalty that went against the Lions impacted Kansas City's

432
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: offense and hurt the Lions offense or vice versa. So

433
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: Reid's whole point to sum it up in four words,

434
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: they let it play out, which I guess is five

435
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: because I had to they in there, but let it

436
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: play out worthy four words, so a level headed response,

437
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: by which, of course, triggered the tinfoil hot crowd convinced

438
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: convinced that the NFL is rigging games for Patrick Mahomes

439
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. This is a story that pops up

440
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: just about every year on the calendar, same time about

441
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: every year. And here we are, so these fine individuals,

442
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: salt of the earth, and some of you guys have

443
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: reached out to me who are in this cult, and

444
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: you have said to me, hey, listen, the refs are

445
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: in the tank with the NFL, obviously paid by the NFL,

446
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: and they're out to get anybody playing Kansas City. They

447
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: believe that the referees are apparently on speed dial with

448
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, and they text Taylor Swift between plays. It's like, hey, Taylor,

449
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: should we call holding on the other team? No pass interference? Okay,

450
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: we'll call passing firs? Why not holding? Well, we don't

451
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: want holding, we want passing first. Okay, we'll give you

452
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: pass in inference. Fine, there you go. Now some of

453
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: you have pointed out a study done. I love that

454
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: universities are doing studies on NFL teams and officials, the

455
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: University of Texas l Passo. Hello to my homeboys working

456
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: in the factory there in El Paso. You know who

457
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: you are. So anyway, UTEP did a study which the

458
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: findings this went from. This ended not last season, the

459
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: year before, but in the study done by UTEP, the

460
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: findings indicate, this is great that postseason officiating trends have

461
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: disproportionately benefited the Patrick Mahomes chiefs. In fact, a professor,

462
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: doctor Spencer Barnes. Never heard of him. Not my doctor.

463
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: He's not your doctor, doctor Barnes. So doctor Barnes said. Quote.

464
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: The fact that postseason penalties consistently favored one frameise meaning

465
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: Kansas City, while similar dynasties showed no such pattern points

466
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: to the powerful role of financial incentives, financial incentives and

467
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: shaping supposedly neutral decisions. Close quote all right, So let

468
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the Esteem panel which you

469
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: are part of. Do you believe do you believe that

470
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: there is an NFL grand conspiracy to help Travis Kelcey

471
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. So on this one, I've got Buffalo

472
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Wild Wings, the Hair Club for Men, and Pillow, and

473
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we

474
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: are going to make the greatest donut of them all,

475
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: the Apple Fritter donut, the greatest donut of them all. Now,

476
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: first of all, to answer the question I wish I

477
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: believe because it would be better as a talk show host,

478
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I am not a believer. I'm agnostic on

479
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: this one. And here's why my problem and I can't

480
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: get past this. I've done too much sports talk radio.

481
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: I have done this job for many, many years. I've

482
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: been through a number of dynasties in sports and yapped

483
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: about them on the radio. And the one common denominator

484
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: through this entire journey in sportscasting has been team wins.

485
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: A lot fans complain teams getting benefit of the officials

486
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: calling in their direction. So every dynasty gets painted by

487
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: people as being run by the Illuminadi. In this case

488
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: it's the NFL. But same thing happens in basketball. We

489
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: don't really get dynasties anymore in baseball. But when the

490
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: Yankees were winning and there was the belief that the

491
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: Yankees got every call. I was told by somebody that

492
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: played for the Yankees that they believe the guys on

493
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: the Yankees believe at the old Yankee Stadium when George Steinbrenner,

494
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: the old owner known as the Boss, when he was

495
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: in charge there, that they truly believed umpires were afraid

496
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: of calling pitches on the border against the Yankees because

497
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: George Steinbrenner would raise Holy hell. But again that's perception

498
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: much like this we're talking about Kansas City here. It

499
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: happened also with the Patriots, and my brothers and sisters

500
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: who are Patriots fans know when they were winning, it

501
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: was like, oh, the NFL wants Tom Brady to win,

502
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: they want Bill Belichick to win, and all that stuff.

503
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: And I go back so far the Dallas Cowboys. I

504
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: remember when the Cowboys used to win and they were like, oh,

505
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: the NFL officials are in the tank for the Cowboys

506
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: because they got the big stars in that era. Yeah,

507
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: and that was before social media was even a thing.

508
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: That was just when we had sports talk radio and

509
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: fax machines and people were pumping up the tires on

510
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys back in the nineties, So it's not

511
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: some secret zebra cabal that gets together. Like the theory is,

512
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: these guys all get together, they go to Buffalo Wild Wings,

513
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: and then Andy Reid is given a button and it's

514
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 1: a direct line to the league officiating headquarters. So when

515
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: he's on his headset and he's covering his mouth because

516
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: he's got his play sheet, he's actually talking to the

517
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: league office. Can we get a defensive holding on Team X?

518
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: Can we do?

519
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 2: Now?

520
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: We can't? Can you give me? How about I want

521
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: an offensive holding? This team's driving against my defense. Can

522
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: I get an offensive holding? We need that? Yes, sure,

523
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: no problem, Andy, whatever you need. The reality is rather

524
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: simple and it doesn't make for great talk radio. But

525
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen, which is the meat and potatoes of

526
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: this particular era and really just the entire run with

527
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes taking over, since twenty eighteen, Cansa City is ranked

528
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: in the top ten in the top ten of accepted penalties,

529
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: not the bottom, the top top ten. Now what does

530
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: that mean. That means if this is a rigged delio,

531
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: if the NFL's rigging these games for Kansas City, the

532
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: referees are doing a god awful job they're doing a

533
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: terrible job of covering their tracks, right, the terrible job.

534
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: And Kansas City last I checked, and I've been there,

535
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: and I have friends in Kansas City. I love visiting.

536
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: It's I've had a lot of fun when I've gone

537
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: there a few times over the years. But when you

538
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City, right, it's not Manhattan. Now, if

539
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: you want Manhattan, there's a Manhattan Kansas which is you know,

540
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: good drive away. It's not the big Apple Manhattan. And

541
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not Los Angeles. It's not like

542
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: a top market. It's TV market number thirty one, TV

543
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: market number three. It you don't build a villain empire

544
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: in the shadow of Wichita. You don't do it. No

545
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: one would do it. And as for the UTEP study,

546
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 1: And I used to love studies. I used to talk

547
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: about a lot on my podcasts they do on the weekends,

548
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast. And I learned over the years

549
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: at some point I had an epiphany, and I realized

550
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: that you have to look at who pays for the study.

551
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: You have to look at who's doing the study, because

552
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: it's often it's not on the up and up. I

553
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: used to think those things were all on the up

554
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: and up everything was kosher. It's not so. But anyway,

555
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: this one, the UTEP study, I dug into it a

556
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: little bit, leaned into it. And the postseason flags they

557
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: said lean heavily towards Kansas City during the Mahomes era.

558
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: And they connect the dots and it's like there's a

559
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: conspiracy and it's like they've got their their corkboard up

560
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: and they're connecting yarn to different things and they're like, well,

561
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: there you go. They get their flash light and they

562
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: don't even have a flashlight. They have the light on

563
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: their head. You know those lights you put on your

564
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: head when you're looking at crawling on your body, trying

565
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: to crawl through the underside of your house or something

566
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: like that at two in the morning. But this is

567
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: the same tired VHS tape that they dusted off when

568
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was getting whistles, And I buy that more

569
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: than this. Like the NBA Hey and with David Stern,

570
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: that was his playbook. We got stars. We want the

571
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: stars to get calls. And a foul against Michael Jordan

572
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: is not the same call against Joe Blow on the bench.

573
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: It's just not Uh, there were hockey people. When I

574
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: saw Wayne Gretzky play and people said, wow, Wayne Gretzky.

575
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, when Wayne was breathing near the blue line,

576
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: there was an official there skating around with a with

577
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: a whistle. It's not collusion, right, It's not collusion. It's

578
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: success envy. That's what I call I call it success envy.

579
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: And you know what they say, you know say there.

580
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: The saying is that when you reach the very top

581
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: of the mountain, you've worked your entire life in sports

582
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: and you get to the very top of the mountain,

583
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: many people assume that you got there on a ski lift.

584
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: You didn't climb the mountain. You just took the You

585
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: took the easy way to the top of the Right now, secondly,

586
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: I am contractually obligated by the powers of the Beat

587
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: to mention the Dallas Cowboys every so often. So we'll

588
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: do that right now. To Dallas we go, where despite

589
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: the horrific defense, the struggles of the Cowboys defense, they

590
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: blow this season. Jerry Jones remaining very confident in his

591
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: embattled defensive coordinator Matt eberflus Now during his weekly radio show,

592
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: which the editing department here Fox Sports Radio deemed not

593
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: worthy of recording on During that Jerry Jones said, Matt

594
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: Eberflus is someone quote I want in the fox hole

595
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: with me. That's a quote. Jerry also explained that he jumped,

596
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: jumped at the up. You think Jerry's ever jumped at

597
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: anything maybe like a hot blonde in like nineteen ninety,

598
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: but not recently anyway. So during his weekly radio show,

599
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Jones said that you know he wants you know, he's

600
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: a foxhole guy. That was his line, and he said

601
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: he jumped jumped a higher Matt Eberflus and said he

602
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, this is the guy that I wanted this

603
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 1: offseason to to run the defense and have not changed

604
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: my position after six games. And he was pumping the

605
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: tires about all the adversity that Matt Iberflus has been

606
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: through and all that bull crap. All right, question how

607
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: much stalk? How much stalk do you put in Jerry

608
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: Jones giving a vote of confidence, the dreaded vote of

609
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: confidence the Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. So normally, and

610
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm about to saying, like normally, this

611
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: is the kiss of death. You are cooked. It is

612
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: dun skis right. That's the kid kiss of death, like

613
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: the he's our guy speech. We've all heard it. It

614
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: happens right before a piano drops on top of your

615
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: head from the third floor cob boom, see you later.

616
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: Now in Dallas, though it's different, My read on the

617
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: room in Dallas is a little different because Jerry's doing

618
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: what Jerry always does. He's making this about him. I

619
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: do a YouTube show called Benny Versus the Penny with

620
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: a guy who also makes it all about him, so

621
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: I know the all about him person. I know the

622
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: all about the person. I do that show with a

623
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: little less financially well off than Jerry Jones, but nonetheless

624
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: all right. So if Jerry says I am going to

625
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: give the excommunication message to Matt everfuls, I'm gonna kick

626
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: him out of the Dallas Cowboys, right, get rid of him, Well,

627
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: he's not just admitting Jerry Jones at that point. He's

628
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: not admitting that the defense stinks. It's more than that,

629
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: he's admitting I screwed up. I'm a bad GM, I

630
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: hired the wrong guy. That's on me and what I

631
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: know about Jerry Jones. This is a hair club for

632
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: men's situation, the great line from Walt Frasier, no play

633
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: for mister Gray. Jerry's not going to allow that to right.

634
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: He's I'll hold on to a mistake. He's gonna hold

635
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: onto this mistake longer than a bad real estate investment,

636
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: just so he does not have to do the walk

637
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: of shame and admit now that job by me. If

638
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: up and the numbers don't lie, they don't. The Cowboys

639
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: are dead last, at the very bottom the sewer in

640
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: total defense. They're dead last against the past twenty eighth

641
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: against the run. They've given up thirty point seven points

642
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 1: per game, thirty point seven points per game. They tackle.

643
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, watch all these Cowboy games. It looks

644
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: like they tackle like they're wearing those inflatable sumo suits.

645
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: It's very hard to move around a lot of plotting.

646
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. And I'm not a Cowboy fan. In fact,

647
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: I enjoy this because it's good for what I do.

648
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: I enjoy with you. The Cowboys defense, even with the

649
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons trade, right, well, there's enough there, there'll be

650
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: somewhat competitive and all that. So, and Jerry, he really

651
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: wants to show the world. Yeah, when that guy dan

652
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: Quinn who's now coaching in Washington, and they've had some success.

653
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: They didn't play well this week the Commanders, but they've

654
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: had some success. And what is I'm fine, I don't

655
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: need dan Quinn to be my defensive courtera. So he

656
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: got the guy and so there you go, Matt Ibraflus

657
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: And so the Cowboys build is America's team. The Dallas

658
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys America's team, and right now they're America's turnstile is

659
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: what they are. Yeah, he was running right by. If

660
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: you're a wide receiver, there's no resistance. If you're a

661
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: running back, congratulations, you're gonna get four yards downfield before

662
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: there's any kind of contact. And Ibraflu's presiding over a

663
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: defense in Dallas that is they're getting cooked like they're

664
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: chicken at Applebe's. It's bad. And it's not just the numbers.

665
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: The eye test not good either. There's no bull rush.

666
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of bull crap from Jerry Jones, but

667
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: there's no bull rush. And the unit has about as

668
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: much toughness as a pillow fight at summer camp. Right,

669
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: and some teams worry about the red zone. They're like,

670
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: oh man, the red zone Dallas. It's got a hole

671
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: in the ozone the ozone layer there for the Cowboys.

672
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: It's not good. So Jerry giving a vote of conference.

673
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: Normally we say, well that's it, that's ebra Flus is done.

674
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: But again that this is not about the football, even

675
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: though the Cowboys defense sucks, it's about saving face for

676
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and that's why the Cowboys are. That's where

677
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: they are, all right, final thought, to Boston, we go

678
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: to Boston, we go and forever cheating Astro and Red

679
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: Sox third baseman Alex Bregman a notorious scoundrel in baseball history.

680
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: So Alex Bregman pulled the ripcord and is going to

681
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: test free agency for the second consecutive year. The news

682
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: came out prior to the NLCS game Dodgers and Brewers.

683
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: Bregman is exercising the op doubt. He's entering into the

684
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: transfer portal. He opts out of what's left of a

685
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: three year, one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. He'll

686
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: go to market try to get more money. The deal

687
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: included an opt out this year. There's also a player

688
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: option in twenty twenty seven. So quickly, what is your

689
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: reaction to Alex Bregman forever a cheating astro hitting the

690
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: eject button on the Red Sox contract after one season.

691
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: So this was baked in to the contract. It was

692
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: baked into the contract. And stop me if you've heard

693
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: this one before. I'm pretty sure you've heard this one before.

694
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: But Scott Morris and I'm gona use this term because

695
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: I use it the other day, but it applies here.

696
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: It's a my Pillow special. We said it when the

697
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: contract was announced for Alex Bregman with the Red Sox.

698
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: Will say it again here that this contract was what's

699
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: known in the industry as a pillow deal. That Bregman

700
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: sucked at a time he cannot suck. He was not

701
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: that good at the end with the cheating aim holes,

702
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: and so he didn't get the offer he wanted for

703
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: that and some other reasons. And so the pillow deal

704
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: was a soft landing, big money, total control by the player.

705
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: It's a Scott Bora special. So Boris gave Bregman that

706
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: one year window to go to Boston, polish the apple,

707
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: if you will flip it for another massive contract, go

708
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: back to the market and see what you can get.

709
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: And he wasn't in Boston, the plant roots. Now there's

710
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: a chance he goes back if the Red Sox meet

711
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: his asking price, but he doesn't care. He'll go anywhere.

712
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: He's got no moral compass, He'll go anywhere. And so

713
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: he was there kind of renting. You know. It's the

714
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: kind of place where you rent and you leave the

715
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: dishes in the sink and you just go somewhere else here.

716
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm done with this place. I'm out of here. And

717
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: Bregman did not exactly like the world on fire. The

718
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: first half. He was okay, it was actually pretty good.

719
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: The first half of the baseball season, made the All

720
00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: Star Team. The second half. Cover your eyes, hover your

721
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: eyes bat a swan dive, swan dive for Alex Bregman.

722
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: After the All Star Game, his power numbers went down

723
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: thirty six percent. He was a two point fifty hitter,

724
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay that guy thirty five forty million

725
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: dollars a year and he couldn't even hit it Finway.

726
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: One of the reasons Bregman went to Boston was because

727
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: everyone hits at Finway Park, right everyone feast. It's a bandbox.

728
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: And Bregman batted two forty six at Finway and hit

729
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: six home runs all year? What happened to the launching pad?

730
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: It wasn't a launching pad when he was up there,

731
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: and so you know he's stunking a time. He can't

732
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: snak and then so if you can't thrive there are

733
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna thrive anywhere? Does he need trash cans? Does

734
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: he need a buzzard? Does he have to go back

735
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: to his happy place in Houston? And you mix in

736
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: that's the other thing, like we know cheating as Sjo

737
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: Carlos Carea was traded back to Houston, Like that's really

738
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: the only spot. I guess that in the Blue Jays.

739
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: Toronto doesn't care. They got that cheater springer and their outfield,

740
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: but Houston. Back to Houston for Bregman, who says, now

741
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: there's a cloud. There is a cloud following him around,

742
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: a black cloud. The cheating thing does not go away.

743
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: And you know that's true. You know that's true. Right,

744
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: tattooed with baseball cooties. He's got the cooties, yep, got

745
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: them yep. And you can hear the boos still every

746
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: ballpark you go to other than Houston, right, you get

747
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: the booze and all that stuff, and so the villain

748
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: act it doesn't age well. And that's the other problem.

749
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: Bregman's not a pitcher, he's a position player, and he's

750
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: going to be at the very end of his athletic prime.

751
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: He turns thirty two next season. Good luck. So you're

752
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: gonna pay somebody for what they have done, not what

753
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: they're going to do, and you're gonna hand that guy

754
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: a long term contract. And he's one of the more

755
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: hateable people in the sport of baseball. So good luck, buyer, bewareing.

756
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch life five editions of The Ben

760
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,399

761
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 5: that reports of him negotiating a buy out with North

762
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,200

Speaker 1: Ben.

764
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: Do you believe him?

765
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: No?

766
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 3: Of course not no, No.

767
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: They just haven't worked out the details on that. It's

768
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: it's an absolute mess. And Belichick doesn't have anything else

769
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: lined up. Of course, you don't believe Bill Belichick, And

770
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: you know it's not correct until it's correct, and then

771
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Belichick vanishes and doesn't talk about it.

772
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 5: Next, the Philadelphia Phillies have decided not to make manager

773
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 5: Rob Thompson, the escapegoat for their defeat in the NLD

774
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 5: SA ays he will be returning to Philly in twenty

775
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 5: twenty six.

776
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 3: Do you think keeping Thompson was the right move?

777
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: Yes, because he's not doing anything like all these other managers.

778
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: So it's like the Yankees, the Dodgers. They keep all

779
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: these guys around because they're just kind of figure ahead guys.

782
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 5: he said, there has been zero discussion about that. But

783
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 5: do you think Westbrook will eventually end up playing in

784
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 5: China or something?

785
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,359

796
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 6: And you know, sometimes we like to start with a

797
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 6: little snippet of love knowledge around here.

798
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,040

801
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 6: the person on TV, the woman on the radio, she

802
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 6: is not your soulmate. She's probably you probably wouldn't even

803
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 6: get along on a regular basis.

804
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: And you know what the line though, it's the magic

805
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: of radio TV.

806
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 6: But also when actually building a relationship with someone that

807
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 6: you want to be with, you have to take time

808
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 6: to get to know them, right. Well, no, some guys don't,

809
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 6: you know, and then they end up divorced and unhappy

810
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 6: and with a child and you know, broken home.

811
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: So don't do that.

812
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 6: Take time to get to know your person in person.

813
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: That's what I want to say.

814
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, unless you live a million miles away, and that's.

815
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: What you like. Okay, qualifier on it. I got you.

816
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: These are actual questions by actual listeners. Fir Dog writes

817
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: in says, do women like it when men order for

818
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: them at a restaurant. I always do. I saw a

819
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: question there from I hate ordering food, by the way.

820
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: I I'd rather just cook it home and not have

821
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: to order.

822
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

823
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, if you know exactly what your woman

824
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 6: likes to eat and she doesn't like to speak, that's

825
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 6: one thing. But just it almost sounds controlling to me personally.

826
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: Oh, look at you.

827
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 6: She's gonna have the salad. No, she doesn't want a vodkatonic.

828
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 6: She'll take a wine, white wine. The red's gonna die

829
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 6: your lips, honey. No, we'll take the white wine for her.

830
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah, that's what it seems like to me. Okay,

831
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,959
Speaker 1: could be thoughtful. Can you've been in that situation before?

832
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a little personal reference there. No, no, no,

833
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: But this is just an idea, Just an idea. I

834
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: one of your favorite callers here, Mike the Leprechaun, writes,

835
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: and he says, would you frown upon a partner who

836
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: can't do any handyman work around the house, the air conditioning,

837
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: clogged toilets, et cetera, or even the bedrooms?

838
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 3: Yes?

839
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 6: Actually I do frown upon those things. I love it

840
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 6: when a man can like fix things. It's so awesome.

841
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 6: I used to have a huge crush on my manager

842
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 6: at Red Robin because he would fix everything.

843
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that is so attractive. Was he good

844
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: looking or no? No, not at all. Okay, all right,

845

Speaker 1: at fiction.

847
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 6: You can be good at other things. There's other things

848
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 6: that you can find attractive about a person.

849
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: It's all right, very nice. Let's take a call. And

Speaker 1: A listener who was asked to have his name react redacted.

Speaker 6: You are allowed to have relationships with your exes, but

873
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 6: you need to know what level of playing field there on.

00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,479
Speaker 6: Sometimes they were friends before they dated, so you can't

875
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,759

876
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,080

00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:04,719

881
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: to read the rebound because then you're that's not a

882
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: good thing. Heart well hurt, That's that's not good at all.

883
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,560

890

Speaker 6: I know.

892
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I used to do. That's a great
