00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: Greetings, Welcome inside hour three The Jason Smith Show with

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: my best friend Mike Harmon. Well, I hope you like

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: it when you get to see history, because that's what

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: we just got in the All Star Game. The game

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: tied at six after nine innings, we went to a

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: home run derby for the very first time. Now more

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: than just Yankee fans. One, Aaron Boone fired because of

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: his home run derby selections. Sorry, too soon, too soon.

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: Jonathan Randa, needing to hit a home run to keep

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: it going, did not. And because Babe Schwarber hit three

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: homers in his chance to go, every batter got to

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: hit three home runs, the National got to have three swings.

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: The National League clinches the All Star Game. They win

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: it because they had four home runs in their three

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: man home run derby. Pete Alonso did not have to

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: swing because they had a clinch because Randa did not homer,

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: so three for the American League, four for the National League,

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: and Kyle Schwarber three absolute bombs, including one that he

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: falls to his knee after he hits, and this gives

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: the National League the victory. It was just fun. We

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: had never seen it. It's history. I get people are

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: gonna hate it, go on, hate it whatever again. If

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: you don't like it, baseball is not your thing, man,

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I got, It's an exhibition game. It was awesome. It

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: was different. We had never seen it. Everybody watched this

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Tonight's gonna remember where they were the first time they

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: saw this happening.

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: You know me, I'm a white Sox guy, always hated

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: the Cubs. But there was one guy I couldn't you

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: like the babe, Love the babe, Babe, Babe Schwarmer coming

Speaker 1: This is the first reaction we're gonna get. This is

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: like everywhere his history. Here's the first player being interviewed.

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: That's right about the about the home run Derby. James,

53
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show man.

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: How you doing, I'm doing good? Are you all right? Good?

55
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: Well, first of.

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: All, what did you think the home run Derby the

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: way it went to decide the All Star Game?

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it was cool. I mean nothing

59
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 5: by like that. When they tied it up in the nine,

60
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: we were all kind of wondering what was going to

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 5: go on if we were to go to extras, And

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: I think when we found that out we were kind

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: of shocked, But I think it ended up great.

64
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: How did they do there? How did the decision come

65
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: down who was going to hit? Who was going to

66
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: be able to be the ones to go out there?

67
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 5: I think they had an idea before and they had

68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 5: already asked guys just in case. So I think that's

69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: how it went down, But I'm not sure.

70
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 4: You didn't go up with a baton. So I'm ready,

71
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. Ready.

72
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 5: No, I'll spectating this time.

73
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: All right, So did did you guy? How many did

74
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: you know?

75
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: Did other players know in the dugout that this could

76
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: be the possibility that you there were going to be

77
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: a home run derby was a kind of new to.

78
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: Some of you.

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I honestly remember I remember it being mentioned

80
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: like earlier this year, but like I completely forgot, and

81
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: I think a lot of other guys they weren't weren't

82
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: really sure what was.

83
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: What was going to go down either, since Skipper had

84
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: gone through all the pictures, maybe you guys were all

85
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: trying to figure out back in literal league through the

86
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: most who would have gotten the next what was that? Well,

87
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: since Dave Roberts used up all the pictures, just the

88
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: question of whether you guys, any of you positioned players.

89
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 5: Head experience, Yeah, I don't know, I mean I would

90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 5: I'm not sure. I guess we never even Yeah, I

91
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 5: don't know.

92
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: It would have been an interesting thing.

93
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: But but for you, I mean, what what what does

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: this weekend mean for you or this midweek excursion.

95
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 5: I mean, it was just great just being in his

96
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 5: locker room and just being a part of everything. He

97
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 5: was a great experience.

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: What was it like watching the watching the derby? Were

99
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: you nervous? Were you excited?

100
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 6: What?

101
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: What?

102
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 4: What was it like?

103
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 5: I mean, I was just excited. I think I was

104
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 5: nervous earlier in the day, but once you got close,

105
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 5: so I was just more more ready to go than anything.

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: All right, James Wood, congratulations on the big week. A

107
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: nice job in the home run derby last night, and

108
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: maybe we'll maybe we'll see it in one of these

109
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: in the future.

110
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: That'd be awesome.

111
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, sounds good, Thank you man, great.

112
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Stuff, James, what hey, some of them knew something, knew

113
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: what was going on? Okay, Now we got John Paul

114
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Morosi joining us on the Hotlights, Big Night History guest

115
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: guest Bang Bang Bang MLB network insider extraordinaire, longtime friend

116
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: of the show, John Palmer ROSI, what's happening, buddy?

117
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 4: How are you?

118
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 7: I'm doing great? And that was quite a flourish. I

119
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 7: rarely begin one of our conversations by citing the Twitter

120
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 7: feed or the X feed of Cessmenta's family barbecue. But

121
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 7: I felt as though I have to do it right

122
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 7: now because it's just that interesting quote. Kyle Schwebber is

123
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 7: the first position player All Star Game MVP to go

124
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 7: hitless and also the first All Star Game MVP to

125
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 7: hit three home runs. End quote. And all that is true.

126
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 7: And if you had shown that post to anyone at

127
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 7: nine am today and said this will all be accurate

128
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 7: by midnight, they would say, huh what? And yet that's

129
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 7: what we've got. It was awesome. I would I would

130
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 7: challenge anyone who would say that that was not fairly entertaining, dramatic.

131
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 7: And by the way, the most the most nervous I

132
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 7: was watching the hole undry was actually not for the

133
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 7: contestants themselves. It was, in no particular order, the batting

134
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 7: practice pitchers on whom there was an immense amount of pressure.

135
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 7: There was one member of the Fox videography crew, one

136
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 7: of the camera people, who was basically standing behind the

137
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 7: catcher no protection, so he's standing on the warning track

138
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 7: behind no plate. And then all the players who were

139
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 7: on the field. I mean, my goodness, I was so

140
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 7: nervous thinking, will anybody you get a foul ball that

141
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 7: accidentally is hitt into that crowd. That terrified me a

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 7: little bit, But in the end it was as brilliant

143
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 7: as anyone could have voted it to be. And I

144
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 7: also noticed by the way, I know if you saw this,

145
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 7: I wanted the drives to right field. The door of

146
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 7: the Braves bullpen was open, so that if the ball

147
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 7: would have sailed over that because we hadn't seen everything

148
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 7: else in this game. Who determines if it's actually a

149
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 7: home run? I want to know who actually gets to

150
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 7: make that call. So it just inspired all these different

151
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 7: thoughts that we just never have during the latter stages

152
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 7: of a game. And as James Wood just told the

153
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 7: two of you, a lot of the NL players didn't

154
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 7: even know that that was the rule until it actually happened.

155
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 7: I love it when baseball surprises us.

156
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: Well, today we're wondering, with all the arms that Dave

157
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: Roberts was going through, whether he'd put himself into a

158
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: I need a key k Hernandez on my All Star Team.

159
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 7: Moment right Well, that was I believe the thoughts and

160
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 7: I would have to go back check my All Star

161
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 7: Game history. Two thousand and eight Yankee stadium. That was

162
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 7: a long, extrading game. It was in the era of

163
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 7: the This time it counts with respect to the home

164
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 7: of the advantage being determined by the All Star winner.

165
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 7: And I think that JD. Drew was identified by Terry

166
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 7: Francona as being possibly a guy that could throw late

167
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 7: in the game. It's just it's a fascinating set of circumstances.

168
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 7: And I'm just really thrilled that the Baseball writ large

169
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 7: won in a big way tonight.

170
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 4: Yeah.

171
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I said this, we're talking about this

172
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Jay jumpall with everything we saw tonight, right, you go

173
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: back to the ABS having an incredible debut with the

174
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: players challenging. It worked really smooth. The pregame show was

175
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: very much something baseball hadn't done. It was terrific. The

176
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: uniforms looked great. The Kershaw miked up moment was phenomenal,

177
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: him talking to John Smoltz and Smoltz telling him pitches

178
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: to throw the Kershaw doesn't throw. Come on, man, I

179
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: don't throw a cutter. And then it ends with this

180
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: home run Derby. Like if you watch this and you

181
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: don't like Baseball's is not your thing, It's like, okay,

182
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: go do something else, right, go buy something else.

183
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 7: It was objectively one of the best shows, and I

184
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 7: mean that I'm using that term deliberately here one of

185
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 7: the best shows that I've ever seen on a baseball field.

186
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 7: Really was. They put on a true show. And by

187
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 7: the way, this is what it's supposed to be in

188
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 7: the years in which it determined home field advantage, I

189
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 7: understood it. But this is meant as a showcase of

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 7: the game's greatest stars, and it's also a reflection of

191
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 7: the prevailing culture of the game. And the culture of

192
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 7: the game right now is very athletic and very fun,

193
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 7: and we saw that on the field tonight. This is

194
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 7: not the nineteen seventies of the Rose Fosse collision and

195
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 7: hatred between the leagues and no fraternizing between players on

196
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 7: different teams. It's a different time and what you saw

197
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 7: in the field tonight, I think, and by the way,

198
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 7: most poignantly the Henry Aaron celebration and what a gorgeous,

199
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 7: just a beautiful photo of Billy Aaron watching just incredible

200
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 7: moments that we saw from beginning to end. It really was,

201
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 7: I think one of the greatest showcases of the game

202
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 7: that we have ever seen in our lifetimes.

203
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing we always talk about JP is

204
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: you know, baseball does history right and the Aaron Tribute

205
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 3: doing that.

206
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: But certainly, you know the.

207
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: In game interviews, everybody pointing out the breath and scope,

208
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: going to the veterans like Kershaw, to the first timers,

209
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, and the camaraderie and going around and getting

210
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: those notes that you know, once again it hit every

211
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: mark true.

212
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 7: Good and you credit the decisions by Dave Roberts to

213
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 7: pull both Freeman and Kershaw out in the middle of

214
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 7: innings to make you think, get a great a great ovation.

215
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 7: And by the way, thinking about other other moments within

216
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 7: the game, if Matt Olsen, the hometown first baseman who

217
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 7: grew up in the Atlanta area and is now the

218
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 7: Braves first baseman, if he doesn't make that brilliant stop

219
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 7: on the Jazz chishm ground ball to right field would

220
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 7: have been a ground ball to right field, the American

221
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 7: League may well win in regulation. At that point Chapman.

222
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 7: Noel was going to hit against Chapman tonight. I mean,

223
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 7: he was unbelievable in his innings. So I just think

224
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 7: there were there were a lot of planned things that

225
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 7: went great, and a lot of unplanned things that went great,

226
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 7: and and I think that's the that's the mark of

227
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 7: a great event and one that I think we're gonna

228
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 7: cherish in our memories for a very very long time.

229
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 4: Well, John Paul I would.

230
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: Have just blamed Dave Roberts at the Nation League loss

231
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: because I'd like I would call it, you don't bring

232
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz in in the middle of an inning he

233
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: starts to in it.

234
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: You've seen enough.

235
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 6: You know.

236
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 7: He probably heard you pounding the table all the way

237
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 7: from LA to Atlanta. Don't do it.

238
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: Don't do it.

239
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 7: But it was even the conversation between the managers, Aaron

240
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 7: Boone and Dave Roberts, you could tell how much respect

241
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 7: they have going back to their college days in LA.

242
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 7: It was just it was a beautiful way to celebrate

243
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 7: the game all the way around.

244
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: Well, and then we had the home run derby yesterday

245
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: that gets everything off with the bang in cal Rawley,

246
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: one of the big stories. I mean, what do you

247
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: think of the point zero eight difference there? I mean

248
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 3: a lot of tinfoil hats. And we had him on

249
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: first sitting in studio watching it live.

250
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 5: JP.

251
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 7: Hey, we all got out our abacus and measuring tape

252
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 7: and stat cast derivatives of various slopes and parabolas and

253
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 7: what would have been different distances. I understand that there

254
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 7: may have been a little technicality, but hey, it got

255
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 7: him into the dance and then he wanted from there.

256
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 7: This has been the year of Cal Raley and I

257
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 7: as we sit here today, I would say if I

258
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 7: had an al MVP ballot in front of me right now,

259
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 7: I would put Raleigh one, Judge two. I just think

260
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 7: that the power hitting at that position is so unique

261
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 7: and the number of that bats he's able to take

262
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 7: while playing that position. It's a difficult staff to catch.

263
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 7: The Mariners really rely a lot on their pitching. Again,

264
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 7: I love Aaron Judge. I would happily vote for him

265
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 7: every year. I just think that right now, what we've

266
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 7: seen in the first three plus months of the season,

267
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 7: Raleigh has been the most valuable player in the American League.

268
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 7: Now there's a lot of baseball left and catchers have

269
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 7: been known to wear down, and if he wears down,

270
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 7: then it's probably going to be Judges Award, and that

271
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 7: would also be a great outcome. I just think right now,

272
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 7: what Raley is doing is truly historic. And if he

273
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 7: hit sixty home runs as a catcher, and let's judge

274
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 7: at sixty one, I'm not sure. I'm not sure how

275
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 7: you'd be able to not vote for Raleigh if in

276
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 7: fact he gets to sixty or even honestly to the

277
00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 7: range of fifty five.

278
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: Ever more, well, two things, John Paul to finished with. One,

279
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: congratulations of getting banned from Yankee Stadium. You can never

280
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: go back after that. And uh, Secondly, okay, I mean

281
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: maybe I think maybe pitching is overrated in Major League Baseball.

282
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: And I didn't think about that till tonight. But if

283
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw could strike out the final better the inning

284
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: get outs while talking to Smoltz and everybody else getting

285
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: and getting all sorts of advice, if he could have

286
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: that kind of an inning, maybe pitching is a little

287
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: bit easier than we think it is.

288
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 7: What I'll say is this, they were having fun. They

289
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 7: were all having fun. Joe Davis, John Swoltz, Kershell, they

290
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 7: were all having a good time. And I'm a believer

291
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 7: that baseball is best played when you are relaxed. And

292
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 7: Kershaw and Scooble and Skians, they have all thrown so

293
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 7: many pitches in their lives that I think in some ways,

294
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 7: if you can just trust your muscle memory and your

295
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 7: your mouth can be saying any words you need to

296
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 7: be saying as you're going through your delivery. Yeah, you

297
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 7: could say you've got a focus, but it's a loose

298
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 7: focus for me, I think. And and these guys, the hitters,

299
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 7: the pitchers, and I love that Johnson Bolts talked about

300
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 7: regarding how hard it is to do what Rooker did,

301
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 7: which Warber did. It's this is superhuman stuff what they

302
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 7: were able to do. And I just think that it

303
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 7: was very impressive in that way. And it was also

304
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 7: just illuminating to hear Kershaw with that live conversation at

305
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 7: ease very much, Eddies. Maybe the relaxed Kurshaw could pitch

306
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 7: another ten years if you really wanted to, even though

307
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 7: I think the body's probably telling him man the time

308
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 7: to hang him up. I might be getting a little

309
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 7: closer for him.

310
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: I mean when Smolt says throw a cutter and he goes,

311
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 4: I don't have the u son of ice, right, Yeah,

312
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 4: I love it.

313
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 7: Just you got the absolutely hysterical normal talk of a

314
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 7: baseball field, and that's what you want in an All

315
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 7: Star Game and credit the Fox, credit to MLB for

316
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 7: making it happen.

317
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: Well, you saw Dave Roberts telling him do you keep

318
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: that ball as he was walking off.

319
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 5: I love that.

320
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 7: That was great too, and just hearing what Clayton was

321
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 7: saying to his teammates. There Will Smith of course behind

322
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 7: the plate, he's been there for so many of his outings.

323
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 7: Freddy Freeman at that point was still in the game.

324
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 7: There was just a lot of really cool moments where

325
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 7: you could tell how much respect Clayton has so the

326
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 7: people around him, and certainly how much respect they have

327
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 7: for him.

328
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Paul Morosi, that is at

329
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: at John Morosi, that is at John Rossi. John Paul

330
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: Morosi has always thanks so much. And again, I know

331
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: it was an All Star Game tonight, but three run

332
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: Homer by Alonso, please call Sternsey every day. That contract

333
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: that's more and more expensive.

334
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 7: Learned from the Jets, Lindor's in the game. There's a

335
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 7: lot of really positive things. And then of course the

336
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 7: forward met Pete pro Armstrong.

337
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, we're not going to talk about it.

338
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: Bye bye, John Paul, Bye bye you. JPU Coming up next,

339
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: the ending of this All Star Game is very polarizing.

340
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: Yes, it is, because it was anti baseball, was against

341
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: what baseball has been, right, what it's been like.

342
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: But that's why it was so good.

343
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: We'll explain coming up next right here, as we look

344

00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 7: What is that?

365
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it's like soccer.

366
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: You gotta read the small print at the top that says, oh,

367
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: NL wins on home run, derby, swing off, tiebreaker, four

368
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: to three. You look at the top, prety sweet, you

369
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: know Brazil wins on penalties for to three. Oh okay,

370
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: there's your final score. Is this the baseball equivalent of

371
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: penalty kicks?

372
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: Absolute? Just kind of go I don't really I want

373
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: it to end naturally?

374
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: Well, do you really want like four more innings of player?

375
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: You want to go right to a home run derby

376
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: to write your home runner?

377
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 4: Take the physical challenge. No, look, I'll always for.

378
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: More free sporting action. But I understand you hit a

379
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: natural stopping point because you only have so many pitchers.

380
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: You're not bringing guys back at Hey, you haven't pitched

381
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 3: in two hours. But get back out there.

382
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: Let's do this in the regular season. Let's put a

383
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: runner at second and have a home run at tenth inning.

384
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Why did you start? Why did you bring that runner

385
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: at second?

386
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 4: Home run? I could be I might be able to

387
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 4: be talked into that the ghost runner. You're never getting

388
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 4: me on ball and the home run. Do both do

389
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 4: bother be great?

390
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Or you say, okay, you could either have the runner

391
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: at second or three swings for two home runs.

392
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: You got it two home runs, so you got to

393
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: hit one or the other. Yeah, you can't just hit one.

394
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: Who's throwing the ball?

395
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: You know one of your guys, one of your guys

396
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: is doing You get to bring out one of the

Speaker 1: nobody out, or you get three swings, got hit two

400
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: home runs and that counts as a run.

406
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: of the sport. Now this is gonna be polarizing, right, Sure,

407
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of people that don't like

408
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: the way it ended. It don't like it ended with

409
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: a home run derby, And there's gonna be a lot

410
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: of people that love it. And honestly, it's an exhibition.

411
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 4: I loved it.

412
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: It was fun, It was different a home run derby

413
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: or sorry, swing off tiebreaker, although we can call it

414
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: home run dirt. I mean swing off tiebreaker. I mean,

415
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: does somebody own the rights for home run derby on

416
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: Monday nights? Like we can only do it on Monday nights?

417
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure now, I mean they've moved on from that,

418
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 3: and swing off might be copyrighted and trademarked in a

419
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: whole lot of swing off.

420
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Oh swing dancing, like we're gonna do a swing off.

421
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: We have these two couples. Time keep it clean. It's

422
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: ahead at ten o'clock's.

423
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: Get throw back, a bottle of beard, and you got

424
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 4: everybody a horn section behind you and a giant wallet

425
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: and chain.

426
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: So there's good to be a lot of people who

427
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: hate this, right, I said, I loved it. I'm a

428
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: baseball purist. I grew up on baseball. You and I

429
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: both grew up on baseball. We're two of the biggest

430
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: baseball fans that are on the radio anywhere, even on

431
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: MLB network.

432
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 4: This is true. But the people who hate it, that's

433
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: why it was so good.

434
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 5: A right.

435
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: The haters are gonna say, I don't want the derby.

436
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: I didn't like that I didn't like the players being

437
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: miked up. I don't like the abs calling balls and strikes.

438
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: It's not baseball. There's so many people that didn't like

439
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: the way that the introduction was done with ludicrous singing

440
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: welcome to Atlanta.

441
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 7: Ha.

442
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: Why can't the players just go out there and stand

443
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: on the line and wave like okay, why can't it

444
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: be that way?

445
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: Well, but it ends a week of complaining about this process,

446
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: right from how players are selected, who were the alternates

447
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 3: and guys getting called up. We talked a lot about

448
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: Miserowski and he finally made his appearance in the aid.

449
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: Dave was not gonna leave any stone unturned out of

450
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: that bullpen. But it's been a week complaining, and that's

451
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: the beauty of right. We always talk about it on

452
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: the radio. Love us or hate us, don't be indifferent.

453
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: Why was so good is because it was so anti

454
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: what baseball is. Because it was so anti the baseball

455
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: that so many people grew up with. Right, as I said,

456
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: I love baseball.

457
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: I loved it.

458
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 4: Wait to me her baseball peers. Baseball peers don't like it.

459
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Why because a lot of stuff I don't like Because

460
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: it was not really the baseball that I consume every day.

461
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 4: It wasn't the baseball that I watch.

462
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: That's what made this great, Right, That's what made this

463
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: great because baseball showing you tonight, Hey, guess what we

464
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: Even though we're a timeless game, you can go back

465
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: and you look at all sports over the course of

466
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: the past fifty one hundred years and you can tell, Okay,

467
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: here's a football game that obviously is from nineteen twenty.

468
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: But baseball, hey, looks kind of the same from what

469
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: you saw in nineteen nineteen versus what you see now.

470
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: Still nine players still on a fields to the fields

471
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: are still the same, the length of the field is

472
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: still the same. Right, players are throwing harder, they're bigger,

473
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: but baseball is recognizable. But every sport needs to be

474
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: able to adapt and show you something different. And what

475
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball showed you tonight was we got lots

476
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: of things that you might love.

477
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 5: Right.

478
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: The ABS system that made its debut in the Alstar Game,

479
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: in which a player can challenge a pitch the result

480
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: of a pitch, but they have to do it right away.

481
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: Right A pitcher, catcher, or batter if they think a

482
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: pitch is called erroneously by homeplate umpire can challenge call,

483
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: but they got to do it right away, right, And

484
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: we watched the first three bang bang bang, all those

485
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: calls were reversed. Right, So great night for the abs,

486
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: not a great night for the human umpires. And it

487
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: was fun. It was done quick. Treik schoobl had it great, Okay,

488
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: got it. We saw it a couple more times. Edwin

489
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: Diaz got out of a jam in the ninth inning

490
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: because he challenged the pitch and he thought struck out

491
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: Randy or Rose Arena. The home plate umpire didn't call

492
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: it a strike. They went to the review system, strike

493
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: three and we move on.

494
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: Right.

495
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: That's a new thing. People are gonna hate that technology,

496
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: but it was great. It kept the game going.

497
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 4: It was different.

498
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: The players loved it and they were fast here. It's

499
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: not like it took time away. It was something that

500
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: was kind of quick.

501
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 5: Right.

502
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Okay, we say, okay, hey, we let the players make

503
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: that decision on the field.

504
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 4: Awesome. The Clayton Kershaw being miked up for his for

505
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: his inning. He was out there, he is miked up.

506
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: In the in the in the millisecond before he throws pitches,

507
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna hear Kershaw's two and a half minute

508
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: rip coming up in a few minutes. It's phenomenal stuff.

509
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: It's groundbreaking stuff. Talking about what he's gonna throw. Usually

510
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: you get you get players miked up. We've seen that,

511
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: and look, Pete A. Lonza was miked up and he

512
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: was kind of boring. But here's Kershaw is in his

513
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: and you know, getting ready to go and his wind

514
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: up saying, smolty, what do you want me to throw?

515
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 4: He's just a cutter inside the eye. I don't throw that.

516
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 4: He throws another pitch.

517
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: He's having fun and and talking back and forth with

518
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: the guys in the booth about what pitches he should throw,

519
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: which again is probably why Kershaw.

520
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 4: You know this is it? Kershaw know it's my last

521
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 4: off star right now. Think about it.

522
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 3: He's the guy that needs the start time to be precise.

523
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 3: Like he he's a red ass in so many ways.

524
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: So the fact that he dialed that up. We talked

525
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: with John Paul Morosi about him and Dave Roberts saying no,

526
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: you keep that ball, and the way he was kind

527
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: of emotional as he left the mound all signs to that.

528
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: But we'll get to him in full later it was

529
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: different and the home run derby, how did you want

530
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: them to solve the game?

531
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 5: Keep going?

532
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: Neither team had pitchers. It was made towards this. Everybody

533
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: had fun. Baseball showed you, hey, we have that different

534
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: side to us. We can adapt to a changing game.

535
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 5: Right.

536
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: The big controversy about Misarowski getting set to this game,

537
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: Oh why is he here? He's only been in five games.

538
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: Every Philly player was upset that he was selected. Guess

539
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: what fans wanted to see him pitch? Right, he's a

540
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: great young fenom that every other pitch is one hundred

541
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: miles an hour. Yeah, you want people to watch the game,

542
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: so of course the interesting players are gonna be there, right.

543
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: One Sodo should have probably been there. People would have

544
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: wanted to see him play. But this was great because baseball.

545
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: It was anti what we've all seen and what we've

546
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: come to love and know about baseball. It was Baseball saying, hey,

547
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: guess what we got something a little different we can do,

548
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: and yet it's gonna be a little weird because of

549
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: stuff you've never seen before, because generally baseball moves slower

550
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: than any other sport. But we're showing you we can

551
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: do this, and we can bring you fun and something

552
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: different and innovations, and that was all what tonight was.

553
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: Because it was so different is what made it great.

554
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: Well, ultimately, times change, the way people consume things changed.

555
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball was the first to really embrace the hey,

556
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: here listen to you're from Chicago, but you live in

557
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: LA you can hear your team in audio format and

558
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: eventually full blown video opportunities to that. So for all

559
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 3: of the staid history that you know, people say how

560
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 3: the game doesn't evolve, they were first there, first move

561
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 3: or advantage. And this is also an opportunity with the

562
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: audio interviews in game, which they've been doing for years,

563
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 3: right from the dugout and whatever. But on the field,

564
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: certainly for all Star games doing more of that and

565
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: players embracing it, from Kershaw.

566
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 4: To Pete Crow Armstrong. And even if if Pete Alonso

567
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 4: wasn't you know, the most.

568
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: Highlight worthy, I guess for a couple of minutes you're

569
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 3: talking about the game and his appreciation of it.

570
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 4: It's still a little bit of inside baseball. So it's good.

571
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 3: All the rule changes that we've had in the regular season,

572
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: this is just an extension of that like they're trying

573
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 3: to change the pitch clock, which you can still debate

574
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: how much you love or hate the game moves right.

575
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 3: It fits into those windows. All Star game is an exhibition,

576
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: so you get the younger players in Misroowski. Guys want

577
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: to decline it. Teams have to decide, all right, do

578
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 3: I pay the guy a bonus anyway?

579
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 4: Sarez?

580
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: Remember they were all mad about him. Well, he was

581
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 3: on a pitch count his last time out and then

582
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: wasn't going to pitch anyway.

583
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 4: So it all works itself out. So you celebrate the game.

584
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 3: That's really ultimately what this is, showcase with as many

585
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 3: eyeballs as you can young stars veterans in their final throws,

586
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: to highlight your history of the game and.

587
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 4: Bridge to the future. They did it in every note

588
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: hit for this performance.

589
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: If you don't like it, then you probably don't watch

590
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: regular season baseball, you know what I mean? Like, like

591
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: this was yes, the the home run derby at the

592
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: end is a little bit wow, that's how it's got end.

593
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 4: Did you want him to throw it up in a tie? Yeah?

594
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: Hey, but seally, what'd you think about that? I mean, look,

595
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's that scene from a league of their own.

596
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: When Geena Davis is going to leave the team and

597
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: she tells Tom Hanks, it just got too hard, right.

598
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: She had problems with her sister and everything else, and

599
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: she wanted to go home and her husband was at war,

600
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: and she says it just got too hard. And Tom

601
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: Hank says, the hard is what makes it great, right, Oh, baseball,

602
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: this is so different.

603
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: This we don't do.

604
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: The different is what made this great. I mean, I

605
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what you could have possibly

606
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: else wanted. And John Paul Moros, who joined a few

607
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: minutes ago, you hit it right on the head. This

608
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: was the best show you could have seen Major League

609
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: Baseball put on.

610
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 4: This was a show. Remember it's a television show. It's

611
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 4: an entertainment show. It was a show. It was a

612
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: show to everybody watching, which showed everybody in attendance. It

613
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 4: was a show to the players.

614
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 3: You got twelve runs. Some of your biggest players had

615
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: big moments from the big towns. You got to introduce

616
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: some new stars. Rooker hits the pinch, hit home run,

617
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: a guy who a night ago we were talking about

618
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: being robbed and him saying, well, I wish I would

619
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 3: have known, you know what, we're at the standings where

620
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: or not that it's gonna he's gonna hit it an

621
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: extra inch to get the victory over cal Raley in

622
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: the home run derby. But the fact that he comes

623
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: back the night after it hits that big home run

624
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: that ends up mattering, right, is when it went and

625
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: it's like, all right, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.

626
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: But all of that to say, you got all these

627
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: big moments for four hours of entertainment.

628
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it was incredible. And just listen to

629
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: as this gun folds over the next twenty four hours

630
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: and you see the sides people take on this.

631
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 4: Sorry, Pete Alonso didn't get to hit for you that

632
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 4: it's all right.

633
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,959
Speaker 1: He had a home run. His contract would have been,

634
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: it would have been more money. If he had a

635
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: home run to win the home every one would have

636
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: been a hero on another level in the back of

637
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: the fish rat. No question time not to find out

638
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: what's trending in the wide world of sports. So someone

639
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: who's been called the pee Alonzo of Fox Sports Radio,

640
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: he didn't swing it all in the home run derby

641
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: tonight either hit Steve diseger.

642
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 4: I was expecting some Polar Bear reference.

643
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 9: He nationally did win the All Star Game, and after

644
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 9: this spectacle in Atlanta tonight, Major League Baseball will have

645
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 9: another one in two and a half weeks, and it

646
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 9: will involve the Braves. Keep in mind that there is

647
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 9: what's called the Speedway Classic coming up at Bristol Motor Speedway.

648
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 9: There will be a Major League game, the first ever

649
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 9: in the state of Tennessee, the first Saturday night of August.

650
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 9: One of the Fox games they have already laid out.

651
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 9: They showed a bit tonight, laid out a baseball field

652
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 9: on the infield of this huge NASCAR track, and all.

653
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: The players are gonna be inside race cars like it's

654
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: the movie cars and they're gonna be playing.

655
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 4: That's how it is.

656
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 9: Brad Pitt have actually put some seats along the third

657
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 9: base line, but most of the fans will be in

658
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 9: the regular NASCAR seats. It'll be the first time there's

659
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 9: a National League or American League game in the state

660
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 9: of Tennessee. And there's gonna be a Tim McGraw pregame concert,

661
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 9: Pitbull there and others. And we're only two and a

662
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 9: half weeks away from that.

663
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: Starting pitchers Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks for that one.

664
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say whoever didn't throw tonight, but everybody threw tonight.

665
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: The National League used all thirteen of its pitchers in

666
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: the nine innings, so then we went to the new rule,

667
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: which apparently on paper, was instituted in twenty two. But

668
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: of course no All Star game had demanded extra innings

669
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: until tonight, so we went to a swing off. Kyle Schwarber,

670
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: the game MVP, swatting home runs on all three of

671
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: his late swings. The National League takes it over the

672
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: Americans after the game had been tied six to six

673
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: after night innings. The American Leaguers got two runs in

674
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: the top of the ninth to tie the game.

675
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 9: By the way, Al manager Aaron Boone the Yankee, said

676
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 9: that he made his picks for that mini home run

677
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 9: derby at the end based on who would be in

678
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 9: the game late and who wouldn't be you know.

679
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 4: Have been sitting around for some time.

680
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 9: Longtime baseball writer Bob Nightingale says a Henne o' suarez

681
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 9: had X rays on the hand he was hit by

682
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 9: a pitch. They were negative, but he was pulled from

683
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 9: that home run derby. At the end, Nightingale claims the

684
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 9: game will officially go down as an NL victory of

685
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 9: seven to six, but MLB dot com says it goes

686
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 9: in the record books as a tie, with a notation

687
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 9: that the NL won in a swing off, no winning pitcher,

688
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 9: no losing pitcher, and guys like shohe Otani were long

689
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 9: gone not considered for the home run derby. They showed

690
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 9: Trek schoobl the starting pitcher for the al had showered

691
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 9: and was out of uniform and came back on the

692
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 9: field just to watch the swing off. At the end,

693
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 9: it was an impressive night of entertainment. Pete Alonzo the

694
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 9: Mets three run homer in the six, Corbyn Carrol of

695
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 9: Arizona a solo shot for a six to nothing lead,

696
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 9: and still it takes the swing off four to three.

697
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 9: In the swing off, the National League takes it. MLB's

698
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 9: regular season games resume on Friday. The Jets gave defensive

699
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 9: back Sauce Gardner a four year extension. The Chiefs gave

700
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 9: guard Tray Smith a four year extension. Washington wide receiver

701
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 9: Terry McLaurin says he's frustrated by a lack of progress

702
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 9: on an extension, the Commanders will retire wide receiver Art

703
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,520

Speaker 2: Right.

798
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 3: We talk about guys in their routines in baseball and

799
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 3: certainly starting pitchers on game day and how locked in

800
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 3: they are, and Kershaw is always the top of the

801
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: list in terms of that kind of prep and just

802
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: stay out of his periphery, let alone something like this

803
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 3: for the fact.

804
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 4: That he does it, he does it again.

809
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,440

Speaker 4: He knows this is the end.

813
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure this will be the final year in his

814
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: career because I don't know that the Dodgers even have

815
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: a spot for him next year.

816
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: He gets the ovation going off, like he knows, and

817
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 4: we all know this is the end. You're seeing.

818
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: You have a finite amount of Clayton Kershaw starts and

822
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: the end. I'm gonna have fun, this is my goodbye.

823
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 3: Well, he saw a little bit of it when he

824
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: got his three thousand strikeout, the same kind of exhale

825
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 3: to a degree of getting there right, because we always

826
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 3: watch guys trying to get that last win, that last

827
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 3: strike out of that and what a chore it can

828
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 3: become at times.

829
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 4: That he hit that milestone and celebrated that, and for

830
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 4: this back and forth.

831
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you got the full grunt

832
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: with the microphone like he was serving in tennis and

833
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: rolling through the having fun with Smoltz, and then the

834
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: celebration and thanking of all the infielders as they came through,

835
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: and Dave Roberts saying no, no, no, you keep that ball,

836
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: and the smile on his face as he was walking

837
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: off the mound. I mean that's priceless.

838
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 4: I mean, really, that's the best two minutes you're gonna

839
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 4: hear right there, Hey, what.

840
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: Do you want, Smoltz? I don't throw that, you son

841
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: of it. And he even censured himself, like even sounded

842
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: himself there. Coming up next we get back of the

843
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: big questions surrounding the home run Derby
