Speaker 1: shining moment. We'll talk some NC double A, we'll talk
Speaker 1: some baseball, and White's a solid number two. Maybe I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say solid number two. That's you know what everyone's saying.
Speaker 1: What does baseball and Rich Davis have in common? Solid
Speaker 1: number two? Bro, Not that you're number two in life,
Speaker 1: but I know your bathroom habits. No, uh, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Giannis and uh. He looked at me
Speaker 1: like I'm number two, You're in situating you're number one.
Speaker 1: You know. Maybe this is tam I but Rich will
Speaker 1: leave during commercial and come back.
Speaker 2: Sorry a terrible digestion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like this minute session for this guy.
Speaker 2: Get a better diet.
Speaker 1: I know. But I want to start the show with
Speaker 1: two things that have nothing to do with sports, and
Speaker 1: that's the fun of our show, right. We don't need
Speaker 1: to force it. I saw super Mario Galaxy with my
Speaker 1: kids over the weekend, And I just want to let
Speaker 1: it be known any grown up, any adult doing a
Speaker 1: critique of this on Instagram or TikTok as if they're
Speaker 1: analyzing some type of Academy Award winning film, honestly, you
Speaker 1: should bang your head against the wall. I bet your
Speaker 1: Ryan's that type of guy. I actually agreed with Rich. Okay,
Speaker 1: guess what.
Speaker 2: Ask me if I like the movie. Ask me if
Speaker 2: I like Mario Galaxy.
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy the movie? Guess what my five year
Speaker 1: old I'm sorry, my six year old son and my
Speaker 1: eight year old daughter did, which means I did.
Speaker 2: It was a fun movie.
Speaker 1: I ate popcorn.
Speaker 2: I sat there. It looked beautiful in Imax.
Speaker 3: Hold a little.
Speaker 1: About the plot line if you're worried about the plot
Speaker 1: line of super Story. Huh, but it's everywhere everywhere where,
Speaker 1: you know, adults have this crazy opinion or expectation for
Speaker 1: a kids movie. Even Roger Ebert dot com say that
Speaker 1: mediocre at best. Hey, it's breaking April records. It was
Speaker 1: the number one movie in the world this weekend, and
Speaker 1: it's for the kids. Like, why are we expecting more
Speaker 1: than that? It's absurd? Number one observation adults, you're embarrassing
Speaker 1: yourself by criticizing Mario. Galaxy hail Mary. Project tail Mary
Speaker 1: number two a solid number two as a result. Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of Project hail Mary in outer space, we're talking
Speaker 1: about all the dumbest things. You see headlines like, man,
Speaker 1: you see the Bachelorette, she says she's going for a
Speaker 1: really tough time and it got canceled f maybc A.
Speaker 1: She's living hell on Earth after all the backlash of
Speaker 1: being canceled, all the bunk headlines we see on social
Speaker 1: media and like tweets going out by politicians, all this
Speaker 1: craziness that's going on.
Speaker 2: Can I give you four names?
Speaker 1: Sure? Read Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen.
Speaker 1: You're like, who are they?
Speaker 2: Are they Chipotle workers or no?
Speaker 1: These are the astronauts that have now gone further into
Speaker 1: outer space than any other humans, and no one's making
Speaker 1: a big deal about it. They are seeing things that
Speaker 1: no other human eyes have seen. You know how I
Speaker 1: know you're right because you're the first guy I've heard
Speaker 1: even mentioned that stat to me. They're the first. Is
Speaker 1: that a fact? It's the furthest mankind has ever gone.
Speaker 1: They have gone further into outer space than anyone in
Speaker 1: the history of our planet. And you heard it here
Speaker 1: first from Rich Davis, and we were talking. We're talking
Speaker 1: about Savannah Guthrie going back to the Today Show and
Speaker 1: how the Bachelorette's really said, and how you know tonight's
Speaker 1: a basketball game. If we lost complete sight of the
Speaker 1: fact that it's pretty damn cool that we.
Speaker 2: Are in outer space farther away than ever before.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Am I nerd about this? You
Speaker 1: don't think that's right cool? I think it's amazing. I
Speaker 1: actually have been following it, but I didn't know that
Speaker 1: little fun fact anyone anything. See look again, give them,
Speaker 1: give them their due. Read wise with good guy Christina Kotch,
Speaker 1: lovely Victor Glover, who handsome, handsome fella. Oh and Jeremy Hanson.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hanson, what the coolest Hanson?
Speaker 2: But I guess we'll get to baseball.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 6: I think that's amazing, dude. But in this time, it's
Speaker 6: not being done in a television studio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's legit. I mean what they're filming over
Speaker 1: in Burbank. That's pretty cool, man, That is cool. That's
Speaker 1: big news. I guess the point is it's a shame
Speaker 1: that Rich has to be the first one to tell
Speaker 1: us because of all the nonsense that we're flooded with
Speaker 1: on the daily. I'm saying, I have not heard that
Speaker 1: little fun fact. If you know all the other updates,
Speaker 1: then Montie, you're a little you're a bit younger. But
Speaker 1: if you were a kid in the eighties and nineties,
Speaker 1: actually more eighties, so you're you're you're out.
Speaker 3: I am out.
Speaker 1: But there was a time where every kid was like
Speaker 1: ships and wanted to go to outer space.
Speaker 2: There was like space camp. Kids would be like, what
Speaker 2: do you want to be when you grow up? And
Speaker 2: like an answer would be like, I want to be
Speaker 2: an astronaut.
Speaker 1: And then they had the challenger that blew up and
Speaker 1: it was sad and kids cried and teachers cried, and
Speaker 1: I think since then it was like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know where we like spaceships anymore.
Speaker 2: If you grew up in that time, that was like
Speaker 2: the coolest thing.
Speaker 1: There was definitely like ten kids in your classes said I'm.
Speaker 3: Going to be an astronaut.
Speaker 1: That was definitely do you sound like it was like, honestly,
Speaker 1: Millhouse was on to something. It was you know in
Speaker 1: lostith Luster it was before we were born, but the
Speaker 1: Great Space Race and you know, US versus Russia, who
Speaker 1: could get someone on the moon. This is like a
Speaker 1: really important narrative for a generation herself. It was actually
Speaker 1: the Great Space Coaster. Yeah, and then then you know,
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, fans start out to twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six like yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's like the eighth headline.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, yeah, by the way, we're like further
Speaker 1: into outer space we've ever been. Oh you know, I
Speaker 1: saw more criticism on the equality of the photos of
Speaker 1: Earth compared to the last time we got those photos.
Speaker 1: That was more of a headline than what you just said, Like,
Speaker 1: why did we lose photo quality of the Earth? I think, uh,
Speaker 1: and it's operator I think their iPhone had a little
Speaker 1: smudge on the camera.
Speaker 3: No, that we actually used.
Speaker 1: Digital photos and a certain time of the year as
Speaker 1: opposed to Actually, you know what they forgot the last
Speaker 1: time they took the photo that the trick my wife does.
Speaker 1: You got to put in portrait mode upside down. You
Speaker 1: got a better photo that way. They yeah, they just
Speaker 1: didn't do that. But hey, let's move on. It's Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. But I just think it's fascinating that with
Speaker 1: all the headlines of you know, Baseball's back in a
Speaker 1: big way, ABS challenges, the Bachelorette this there's a million headlines,
Speaker 1: and buried amongst that is that we are further away
Speaker 1: than we've ever been, more people complaining about Super Mario
Speaker 1: than talking about how cool how far we've gone. As mankind,
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. Proof is it, by the way, is
Speaker 1: a studio. But if you're in the studio, you're complaining
Speaker 1: about Super Mario kind of life losers seriously, but truth
Speaker 1: is proof is in the studio said no one word
Speaker 1: on it. Manzi's like, that's cool.
Speaker 3: I guess I didn't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I mean I knew, but I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: And Ryan played au sound Effect nerds, So I just
Speaker 1: don't care. I got bills to pay, man, but I
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, like, is it the proof? And
Speaker 1: I just feel like I made my point though, Yea
Speaker 1: in the studio, I look around him and he's like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the cool. I guess.
Speaker 2: Human beaks are further whatever. Let's talk about baseball on
Speaker 2: the eye l.
Speaker 1: Now I'm excited. Let's talk about that. Yeah, ten games Man.
Speaker 7: Austin Reeves is out.
Speaker 1: I know, be guys, someone's like further away and out
Speaker 1: of space than they've ever been before. But do you
Speaker 1: want to talk about what's Curry's return mean for the warriors?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: When the Aliens come, then I'll be excited.
Speaker 2: Is that what it is? I don't know, Like I
Speaker 2: feel like we're so desensitized.
Speaker 1: That might be we went from you know, the great
Speaker 1: space Race as you describe it, to the nation that
Speaker 1: cried aliens, and then people get tired of that, right,
Speaker 1: people get telling about space stories after a while. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking there might be something to that, like, oh, yeah, great,
Speaker 1: where do we find nothing? You know, Oh, what's up there? Nothing? Okay?
Speaker 1: And then you're bored? You know, so people, we've done
Speaker 1: that so many times. Oh aliens, Ah, it's not aliens,
Speaker 1: all right, whatever, Then you just get tired of space stories.
Speaker 1: So maybe we have space fatigue, you.
Speaker 2: Know, how this becomes a story.
Speaker 1: The only way we care is if all a sudden
Speaker 1: we find out, like, would you believe in outer space.
Speaker 2: An affair?
Speaker 1: Women up there? No way they hooked up in outer space?
Speaker 1: What is that if you saved that last night. Actually,
Speaker 1: if you thrust against someone so they just keep going, Yo,
Speaker 1: man space space ass if there was space, so you
Speaker 1: gotta hold on tight, ma, people would care. People would care.
Speaker 1: If there was a reality show We're sending the losers
Speaker 1: to outer space or the winners or somebody out of space,
Speaker 1: then people would care.
Speaker 2: So I saw a reality shells.
Speaker 1: If there was a show called dating in space, then
Speaker 1: we might care. I saw a show. It's like a
Speaker 1: dating show on a on like a yacht. And when
Speaker 1: so it gets kicked off, they have to walk a
Speaker 1: punk love overboard. See I know that, but I don't
Speaker 1: know the love overboard. I know the fun fact.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe if they kick people.
Speaker 1: Off the space ship one a time, they have to
Speaker 1: just float into outer space and they're gone, like sorry,
Speaker 1: wo men live nowhere?
Speaker 7: No the as their age after they hook up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we would care. You're actually sixty, but
Speaker 1: honestly rich. That's the beauty of sports, though, I mean
Speaker 1: it does distract you from the news sometimes, and most
Speaker 1: news is whack news. You mentioned you mentioned not actual bombs,
Speaker 1: but f bombs on Easter and terrible tweets from the
Speaker 1: president and things like that, right, crazy, like baseball and
Speaker 1: sports and fighting. NBA takes you away from all that,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you need that. I mentioned Joe Adell sort
Speaker 1: of weekend Deontay Wilder sort of weekend college basketball, Like
Speaker 1: these are all distractions. I'm not saying keep your head
Speaker 1: in the sands, stick your head in the sand. I'm
Speaker 1: saying that some times you do need that, though, And
Speaker 1: sometimes when you got a lot of things going on,
Speaker 1: you do miss a lot of these things you talking about,
Speaker 1: but it is important. So I do want to I
Speaker 1: do want to talk baseball. And you said, Joe Adell,
Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you what do you
Speaker 1: think the odds are of someone even getting three home
Speaker 1: run robbing opportunities, let alone catching all three, and not
Speaker 1: on top of on top of that it being the
Speaker 1: significant reason why your team.
Speaker 8: Won zero because fans don't know how to behave Like
Speaker 8: the fact that everyone got out of his way, to
Speaker 8: me is the bigger story, right, Nobody got in his
Speaker 8: way and it wasn't even close, It wasn't even on
Speaker 8: the edge. People were literally like all right, everybody, they're
Speaker 8: Mariner fans nearby.
Speaker 3: Everyone got out of the way.
Speaker 8: The picture of him standing by himself with the ball
Speaker 8: in his gloves.
Speaker 3: Standing up and no one near him.
Speaker 1: From the perspect that shot, have you seen that? It's honestly,
Speaker 1: it is almost like an award winning shot. Not sound corny,
Speaker 1: but and by the way, way clearer than the picture
Speaker 1: of the moon. That's yes. No, But but that fan
Speaker 1: shot or whoever it took picture of him by himself.
Speaker 2: Dude, you got an excuses, so well done?
Speaker 1: Well done, is right? I mean, when you factor in
Speaker 1: fan interference, when you factor in the probability of three
Speaker 1: just about home runs are being hit in your direction,
Speaker 1: then you got to catch him, like that's a billion
Speaker 1: to one, I would say. But well, so three in
Speaker 1: one game. People are going to hire soon, but not
Speaker 1: even get that opportunity. I think Tatis was it. Tatis
Speaker 1: had four last year, the entire year. He had three
Speaker 1: in one game. But on top of all that, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: even like that, for all that game could have been
Speaker 1: a blowout in either direction. The fact that those home
Speaker 1: run robberies meant something as well. So what a wild weekend.
Speaker 1: And by the way, talk about like full circle moments.
Speaker 1: There's a low light reel of Joe Adell where he
Speaker 1: has multiple opportunities where he reached out, had the ball
Speaker 1: and dropped it over the fence, or bounced off his
Speaker 1: glove went over the fence. He got his total redemption
Speaker 1: this weekend. Unbelievable. What the world we live in? Someone
Speaker 1: has his low light reel on standbys all over the place.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they put it out. The internet
Speaker 1: always wins, but he was that guy. When you see
Speaker 1: the clips, you're like, oh, yeah, that's right. This poor
Speaker 1: dude totally redeemed himself for the weekend again. Moments you
Speaker 1: practice in the backyard and dream about. He had three
Speaker 1: of them in one game. That's unbesievable. I'm more impressed
Speaker 1: by that than the what was that stat again? You said?
Speaker 1: He I already forgot furthest We've.
Speaker 2: Got to paid four people in out of space.
Speaker 1: The furthest we've ever gone as humans.
Speaker 6: And this is this is the Angels, which makes it
Speaker 6: more impressive. They couldn't get their flyover right for two
Speaker 6: years in a row. The timing was off of their
Speaker 6: flyover that made news over the weekend, and then their
Speaker 6: team president threw out the first pitch and got booed.
Speaker 7: Horrendous food.
Speaker 1: That was the other story. Yeah, apparently the fans will
Speaker 1: care about winning. Boom yeah in the.
Speaker 7: Stadium played music to try to drown out the booze.
Speaker 1: Apparently they do, and they were pumped about that, and
Speaker 1: we got some really great photos, like Mancy said, of
Speaker 1: those moments. You know, I'm not giving this any juice.
Speaker 1: But there is a side story too, all over social
Speaker 1: media where people are confused because there's no specific rule
Speaker 1: that tells you, like, what's the call on whether or
Speaker 1: not they catched a ball but they fall over the
Speaker 1: fence because technically the ball still went over the fence,
Speaker 1: should that be or could that be a home run?
Speaker 1: In that case, it's always an out.
Speaker 3: It's an out.
Speaker 1: He caught the ball, but he never came back in
Speaker 1: he fell over the wall. But I'm saying the casual fan, look,
Speaker 1: you gotta be real. We have baseballs number two, right,
Speaker 1: So we have a whole slew of casual fans that
Speaker 1: are confused by this. They're like, but could shouldn't that
Speaker 1: be a home run?
Speaker 3: And I'm with you, Yeah, it's not a question.
Speaker 1: Did your hero Derek Jeter dive into the crowd to
Speaker 1: catch a ball, caught the ball but fell into the stands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, but a home run a home run
Speaker 1: is is what something that goes over the wall. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe, like I said, maybe it's new fans
Speaker 1: confused by it because there's so many young and new
Speaker 1: casual fans. If you catched the ball and you fall
Speaker 1: over the wall that way, it's always out. Dude. You
Speaker 1: act like this happens all the time. I saw I
Speaker 1: saw highlight once. I saw a guy in Japan run
Speaker 1: through the wall. But you act like we have a
Speaker 1: whole like a lot of highlights appearing.
Speaker 2: When the guy's head. I saw the guy's head go over.
Speaker 1: The wall that they can. He's pretending that like there's
Speaker 1: home run catches that go over the wall that happened
Speaker 1: in Little League one time. But people the other time,
Speaker 1: people confused by this are morons that don't know the rules.
Speaker 1: With you, I'm telling you that this is like a
Speaker 1: big side story all over the place. I'm not making
Speaker 1: it up. I don't get moron alerts. Well maybe I haven't.
Speaker 1: Maybe I need to reset my algorithm. Maybe your algorithm
Speaker 1: needs to be more sophisticated about moonlanding. Yeah, I guess,
Speaker 1: says the guy who I mean every time I look
Speaker 1: over his shoulders some girl with some weak ass dance moves. Listen,
Speaker 1: because my algorithm is ash Cheeks, the Mets and forty
Speaker 1: nine ers, space space ass and astronauts, astronaut. You're an
Speaker 1: ass man, oh Rich, No, he's just he's an ass man.
Speaker 1: My algorithm is embarrassing, Ryan. Honestly, I'm just my favorite
Speaker 1: sports teams and like girls at my wife's like you
Speaker 1: felt like she calls the scissor all ai, I'm like, maybe,
Speaker 1: but they're good looking. The thinking is, if you're going
Speaker 1: to catch a home run like your feet got a
Speaker 1: land back into the stadium or something like that, I
Speaker 1: completely agree with you. Like, yeah, I'm gonna say there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people confused by what happened and what
Speaker 1: they saw there. Promise you. And when you're on the
Speaker 1: ball doing the bull scroll later and you see all
Speaker 1: these people that are saying that, you can be like, oh, like,
Speaker 1: maybe he was right. I'm just telling you what they're saying.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it. I watched baseball my whole life.
Speaker 1: I'm like, nice, I thought that was amazing. Well, speaking
Speaker 1: of baseball, here's what I want you guys to think
Speaker 1: about for a second, we're going to come back and
Speaker 1: take all your feedback. Most interactive show on FSRU today.
Speaker 1: You also got people that are expecting Citizen Kane out
Speaker 1: of Super Mario. So people have weird expectations and weird
Speaker 1: ideas about what should be. I know, Bowser's character didn't
Speaker 1: have the same character arc as a Shawshank redemption exactly.
Speaker 1: So you have people with these crazy expectations. They're not
Speaker 1: going to know the MLB rule book when they're witnessing
Speaker 1: something that, honestly, we've really never seen before. You're acting
Speaker 1: like this as if we've seen this a million times.
Speaker 1: I medical site. Because we talked about home runs and
Speaker 1: going over the fence. There was a there was a
Speaker 1: college kid who the ball bounced off his head and
Speaker 1: went over the fence. I'll lah remember when the ball
Speaker 1: bounced off Conseco everybody, but this was even worse. It
Speaker 1: bounced like boying, like like a trampoline, like twenty feet
Speaker 1: in the air.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you haven't been that one before the warning track,
Speaker 6: before the warning track, it.
Speaker 2: Was like a routine fly ball comino. He lost it.
Speaker 1: I feel like the guy had a a trampoline on
Speaker 1: his springhead.
Speaker 3: McGirt.
Speaker 1: What was that guy's name? Springhead? Eh, Springhead? And it
Speaker 1: went over the fence. I don't think i've seen it,
Speaker 1: so you know, I'll show you that during the break.
Speaker 1: But here's what I want to pose the question, speaking
Speaker 1: of baseball, Baseball studies have shown and we're going to
Speaker 1: read these studies. When we come back, we'll give you
Speaker 1: the details. Baseball is now secured in that number two
Speaker 1: spot behind the NFL. There's no doubt what he's talking about,
Speaker 1: no doubt that the NFL is king by far number one.
Speaker 1: It's like leaps and bounds the NFL number one numero uno.
Speaker 1: But for a while it felt like NBA number two
Speaker 1: baseball number three. That switcheroo is abundantly clear. Now it
Speaker 1: also felt like NBA had tons of momentum and baseball
Speaker 1: was slowly declining. Now it's almost the exact opposite. Why
Speaker 1: switch spots? Why the switcheroo? What is your reasoning and
Speaker 1: thought process behind this? Why is baseball back to number two?
Speaker 1: And why has the NBA dropped off? Honestly, when we
Speaker 1: were saying it, I feel like we were getting some
Speaker 1: crazy feedback on that. And now, as of today, the Athletic,
Speaker 1: The New York Times, Who Walt Weiss, the Daily News? No,
Speaker 1: it was Carney Lanceford. Ah, they've started Carney Lansford, the Athletic,
Speaker 1: Corny to the Athletic. Who Dennis Eckers. No, but now
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about it because it's undeniable. I think the
Speaker 1: momentum of the WBC and the ratings talk with that
Speaker 1: really propelled that story and gave it some juice. Cavino
Speaker 1: has a theory. I have a different theory. Let's hear yours.
Speaker 1: Why is baseball overtaking the NBA for that number two spot?
Speaker 2: We'll get to that.
Speaker 1: Plus Yannis Janie today trying to get NBA back to
Speaker 1: number two. Jannis is saying something out loud, as MONSI said,

Speaker 1: jumped over the flagpole and Super Mario Brothers true story. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it was a glitch maybe, but I did it.
Speaker 2: Predictable. Rich asked first on the flag poles.
Speaker 1: Actually, I'm glad you found the bunny. It was a joke,
Speaker 1: it was a fact. It was true.
Speaker 2: By the way, Yeah, if you're Vino and a Rich
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: If you're criticizing Super Mario Galaxy as a grown up,
Speaker 1: you're an ass clown. And if you're not fascinated that

Speaker 1: Say Mark's a smart fell Scott, Yeah, I think Mark, Uh,
Speaker 1: where's a nevermind? I can't even say that. Colin in Canada,
Speaker 1: you're where's a helmet around town? Helmet? I was gonna say, uh,
Speaker 1: he's wearing one as we speak. Scott Fremy or stee Low,
Speaker 1: everybody chiming in live, Alex Sanchez, Wes, Colin and Canada
Speaker 1: were streaming live. We're chatting it up live eight seven,
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox. We are going to play
Speaker 1: trivia later for prizes, and we'll get you ready for
Speaker 1: the championship tonight. It's one shining Monday, and you know,
Speaker 1: I just had another epfany. I was in the bathroom
Speaker 1: and I saw another video. A lot of the controversy
Speaker 1: is when it comes to robbing a home run. Rich,
Speaker 1: you're keeping the home run in the ballpark. With this one,
Speaker 1: you and the ball left the ballpark. And I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: casual fans just can't wrap there goes this rule because
Speaker 1: I'm setting them up, you bonehead. Let me talk so
Speaker 1: Joe Adell Rob's three home runs over the weekend. Casual
Speaker 1: fans are confused by this because there's a gray area
Speaker 1: in the rule book. Right, they're just this and they're
Speaker 1: busting out. Well, it says here, it doesn't the gray
Speaker 1: area will be let's say Aaron Judge just playing the outfield. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if he hopped the fence, walked up to row G
Speaker 1: and just hung out there and caught a fly ball,
Speaker 1: that's a home run. He went there and caught it.
Speaker 1: But if the ball carries you over the fence, it
Speaker 1: is a home run. So when they always has a
Speaker 1: speculation on stuff like this, now it always has been
Speaker 1: the guy fell over the wall. That doesn't happen all
Speaker 1: the time. Territory with a home run, you're keeping the
Speaker 1: ball in the park. There is a little bit of
Speaker 1: a difference because there's a lot of convincing arguments. And
Speaker 1: when you come back tomorrow and you tell me about it,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bop you over the head with your croc
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you what they're saying on social media.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's right at all. I disagree
Speaker 1: with them, and I'm telling you what's going on with
Speaker 1: all the speculation on rules and different changes and upgrades
Speaker 1: and changes in baseball, that's making it number two a
Speaker 1: solid number two. After the NFL, Joe Girardi presented something
Speaker 1: interesting too over the weekend. Over the weekend, Trent Grisham
Speaker 1: sort of buckled his ankle with an awkward slide at
Speaker 1: home and he says, when they change the rules, what
Speaker 1: I really think they should do is you just have
Speaker 1: to graze home plate because it's not a raised base.
Speaker 1: Why should you be required to sort of touch that base.
Speaker 1: You should just graze over it, just like you're going
Speaker 1: over the end. You know, what he's talking about is
Speaker 1: the equivalent of what they usually do in senior softball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's hard to touch that bag when you're sliding
Speaker 1: side over it.
Speaker 2: In senior softball. I know this because I'm not a senior.
Speaker 1: But before we play baseball softball at the fields sometimes
Speaker 1: you'll be a line like a chuck line right by
Speaker 1: home plane.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what's what's that arbitrary line?
Speaker 1: And they don't expect your your you know, your seven
Speaker 1: year old dad who's playing old guy softball, to slide
Speaker 1: or get away, so you just reason you never touch
Speaker 1: on play, you just have to pass. That's what they're well,
Speaker 1: he was speculating on because you know the one rule,
Speaker 1: the other rule that they might add next after robot umpires.
Speaker 1: They're doing it in triple A baseball now is the
Speaker 1: check swing, and they're using the foul lines to determine
Speaker 1: whether or not you broke the plane. You know how
Speaker 1: they always did he break his wrist, break the plane?
Speaker 1: Did he crossed the plate? Now it's did you cross
Speaker 1: the foul line. So if you're a right handed batter,
Speaker 1: the foul line facing the first base line, if you
Speaker 1: cross that foul line, then it's an automatic strike. Interesting
Speaker 1: in the Canaar saying that they want to implement this,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of moving parts in baseball, it's all
Speaker 1: working to their advantage and maybe that's why it's a
Speaker 1: solid number two. All right? Why is baseball leapfrog which
Speaker 1: is Covino's favorite game to play with his buddies when
Speaker 1: he drinks good one, bro? Shut up? Why has baseball
Speaker 1: leapfrogged basketball? And I have a theory, and my theory
Speaker 1: is simply nothing that baseball did as much as what
Speaker 1: the NBA is failing to do. And I think there's
Speaker 1: nothing Manzi before you found the love of your life
Speaker 1: and Sean your boyfriend. You ever go on a date
Speaker 1: with a guy that on paper look good but you're like,
Speaker 1: for some reason, I'm just not feeling them.
Speaker 8: Yep like it.
Speaker 2: He's handsome, got a good job, like am I not?
Speaker 8: Yep?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 1: I think the stars of the NBA, WEMB, SGA, some
Speaker 1: of the younger stars, they're not doing anything wrong, but
Speaker 1: you just can't force love.
Speaker 2: It's like a record label back in the day and music.
Speaker 1: They could go to radio stations and be like, here's
Speaker 1: our hot new artists, you gotta play their song. The
Speaker 1: artists aren't connecting, is what. But if the artist's not
Speaker 1: connecting with the audience, and no one's requesting that song.
Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: So I think it's a combination of the NBA just
Speaker 1: having a hard time connecting these young stars to the
Speaker 1: fan base. Doesn't it feel like it happened like this,
Speaker 1: like it happened quick. But because we were everything was
Speaker 1: dumping on baseball for a minute, we always defended it.
Speaker 1: Everyone loves to say load management and this and that
Speaker 1: and too many teams to the playoffs, and those are factors.
Speaker 1: But I think the fans are not connecting to the stars.
Speaker 1: And number two, My reasoning is pretty simple.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're reasoning.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll say it good. This sounds really dumb, and
Speaker 1: I get it. That's fine. But when it comes to baseball,
Speaker 1: right baseball. I know that if it's the weekend, the
Speaker 1: Yankees are going to be on in the afternoon sometime.
Speaker 1: I know where to find them, how to find them
Speaker 1: during a weeknight. I know they're gonna be on at night.
Speaker 1: You know it's pretty each on the Guests Network. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be on the s nowork with this and that.
Speaker 1: If their off is gonna be a Monday or a
Speaker 1: Thursday game, they're gonna be off with the NBA. There's
Speaker 1: no consistency that I could that me personally, I could follow.
Speaker 1: I can never find a game like I could. I
Speaker 1: never know really when it's on and and maybe there's
Speaker 1: a pattern I'm missing, but I can't get a firm
Speaker 1: grasp on when when to catch the game or how
Speaker 1: to catch the games. It sounds dumb, but I agree
Speaker 1: insistency isn't the same for me. I agree with Cavino.
Speaker 1: Once the baseball season starts, Let's say you are a
Speaker 1: Red Sox fan, They're gonna play every day except a
Speaker 1: Monday or Thursday, because those are the designated off days
Speaker 1: in baseball, and they'll be on what is it nesson
Speaker 1: or messing in Neston, the Mets on s n Y,
Speaker 1: or the MLB app every day unless it's a Monday
Speaker 1: or Thursday. Those are the designated baseball travel days. Your
Speaker 1: team's either gonna or are they playing every day. Let's
Speaker 1: say the Clippers, monci, I have no cliff they're playing
Speaker 1: today tomorrow. If they have two days off and they're
Speaker 1: playing that is it gonna be on NBC? Is it
Speaker 1: on ESPN? Is it on the local affiliate? Like the
Speaker 1: schedule is a little it's not as consistent. It's not
Speaker 1: as easy to follow, like you know when your team
Speaker 1: is on.
Speaker 3: I mean, I hear, I hear what you guys are saying.
Speaker 8: But I also think it's because you're not really NBA fan,
Speaker 8: like you don't have a team. I know, I know
Speaker 8: when the Clippers are gonna play. I know I'm gonna
Speaker 8: watch them.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know how to find out right.
Speaker 3: But I know where they're gonna I know where they're
Speaker 3: gonna go on.
Speaker 8: And I know what you're saying that there is no
Speaker 8: rhyme or reason, especially this year now with NBC with
Speaker 8: Amazon Prime, there's like every every day is a different network.
Speaker 3: I hear, But I think it's if you were like
Speaker 3: a if you're a.
Speaker 1: Diehard fan, if you're like a big time Celtics fan,
Speaker 1: you know how to find, you know how to find.
Speaker 8: So I don't know if that's it, but I think
Speaker 8: it's a lot of stuff and it does seem out
Speaker 8: of nowhere. But I think baseball has been on the
Speaker 8: rise since even last year with the changes that they
Speaker 8: made of shortening the game.
Speaker 3: I think it's easier to.
Speaker 8: Watch highlights of baseball on social media than it is
Speaker 8: to watch maybe NBA highlights.
Speaker 1: I think the players have become a little more celebratory
Speaker 1: and even, Like I said to Comino, I said, but honestly,
Speaker 1: in a season and a half, we've seen a full
Speaker 1: one eight and roll rebearsal between MLB and NBA. Rich
Speaker 1: always clowned on me as a joke, which is a
Speaker 1: huge baseball fan too, But he would say, I have
Speaker 1: the sports interests of an eighty year old white guy.
Speaker 1: I like boxing and baseball, right because his should be
Speaker 1: burt and he smokes a cigar. Baseball slow moving and boring,
Speaker 1: and you know, and all of a sudden, just like that,
Speaker 1: these minor changes has everybody sweating baseball again. But the
Speaker 1: thing is, it's it's hard to put your finger on
Speaker 1: it the same way. Like, why is Sidney Sweeney the
Speaker 1: hot check? Right?
Speaker 2: She's good looking, but there's a ton of good looking girls.
Speaker 3: No, but she's also hot.
Speaker 1: She's talented. But what I'm saying is there's a ton
Speaker 1: of good looking talented people.
Speaker 2: Why her? Like sometimes you can't put your.
Speaker 3: Favor two reasons?
Speaker 1: Why but you don't she the only one with jubbos?
Speaker 3: No, but there, but she there's not many that.
Speaker 2: Look like her.
Speaker 1: I said to Cavino, I said, s g A right,
Speaker 1: he's electrifying. You know, he wears cool outfits.
Speaker 2: Great player.
Speaker 1: Why why like why the disconnect for some fans. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: show Halo Ton. He's like a polite tip in his helmet,
Speaker 1: like a good But like is show hey that like amazing?
Speaker 1: He's just a great player. But we're all drawn to
Speaker 1: show Halo time. I think I think the Dodgers being great.
Speaker 1: I know what I'm saying personality wise, he didn't.
Speaker 8: Even speak English, so he does when he talks to
Speaker 8: Cameron Brink.
Speaker 1: I know, but what But what I'm but what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is I think you can't explain it. Some things
Speaker 1: are un inexplainable. And I think right now baseball's popping
Speaker 1: and that you can't really describe and things going cycles.
Speaker 1: But as of today, like we said New York Times,
Speaker 1: the Athletic, a lot of people were saying, man, it's
Speaker 1: solid ratings are in it's number two after the NFL.
Speaker 1: Your reasons why we're gonna get to your phone calls next?
Speaker 8: But enough Fellas the news of the day comes out
Speaker 8: of college basketball. It's not the astronauts, it's North Carolina
Speaker 8: finding their next men's basketball.
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, Carolina has got a new head coach.
Speaker 1: To ignore the fact that four people have not been
Speaker 1: furthering out of space than anyone.
Speaker 3: Else, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 8: It is that Michael Malone is going to be the
Speaker 8: new Tar Hills Ahead basketball coach, leading the Nuggets to
Speaker 8: their only NBA championship in twenty twenty three. And of course,
Speaker 8: the title game is later tonight between two seed Yukon
Speaker 8: and one seed Michigan. It's all tipping off from Indianapolis
Speaker 8: at eight fifty pm Eastern time. When it comes to
Speaker 8: the NFL Giants, all Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has
Speaker 8: requested a trade. He will not be participating in the
Speaker 8: team's offseason workout program that opens on Tuesday.
Speaker 3: In Major League Baseball, yeah.
Speaker 8: Mets have placed Swansto on the ten day I out
Speaker 8: with the CAFs train that he suffered Friday against the Giants.
Speaker 8: He's expected to be sidelined two to three weeks.
Speaker 3: Right now.

Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, baseball a solid number two and we're
Speaker 1: going to tell you why in a second, But it's
Speaker 1: time for our tire Raq play of the day. The
Speaker 1: A's the athletics walking it off an extra inning yesterday.

Speaker 1: The way tire buying should be all right. So we
Speaker 1: still got trivia special guests up in buying giving away guests,
Speaker 1: so stick around for that. What's the answer to my
Speaker 1: trivia question?
Speaker 5: Do you know?
Speaker 1: Does anyone want to take a swing now? So you
Speaker 1: said Mike Malone, new head coach for the tar Heels,
Speaker 1: but won an NBA title with the Nuggets. Has a
Speaker 1: guy ever coached an NBA champion and gone back to college.
Speaker 1: And it's happened one time and one time only, and
Speaker 1: that is Larry Brown with the Detroit Pistons went to
Speaker 1: SMU like a decade plus later. So not an easy answer,
Speaker 1: but it's not the first time. I Mike, I wonder
Speaker 1: if that has ever been done. And one other time
Speaker 1: someone could call themselves an NBA coaching champion and then
Speaker 1: they go coach back in college. It's a pretty sweet
Speaker 1: fund said. In football, you see guys go back and
Speaker 1: forth a little more in the NBA in college hoops.
Speaker 1: I feel like I haven't really seen success on both ends.
Speaker 1: And that's this proof right there, only one time. Now
Speaker 1: we're looking for the proof that baseball is a solid
Speaker 1: number two over the NBA, and we'll take your phone calls,
Speaker 1: ratings prove it right. Why is it the WBC? The
Speaker 1: fun fact there, It pulled over ten million viewers and
Speaker 1: I don't even think most people even knew of the tournament.
Speaker 1: I felt like I had to explain what it was
Speaker 1: to so many people and overhype it. Yet it caught
Speaker 1: the world by storm and pulled in over ten million viewers,
Speaker 1: had more viewers than six out of the seven NBA
Speaker 1: Finals games last year. So give me that momentum carried
Speaker 1: into this season and now we're seeing all the changes.
Speaker 1: People are excited about it, abs system, people are talking,
Speaker 1: there's a big buzz and it's popping. Give me the
Speaker 1: rivalry in the NBA that matches some type of bird
Speaker 1: magic or Steph versus Lebron or Lakers Celtics, because there
Speaker 1: were a rival now, like if I said, wemb An SGA,
Speaker 1: there's no real bad beef amongst the best teams in
Speaker 1: like a conference.
Speaker 7: Right the longest time it was a Lebron versus Steph.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we saw that play out in the
Speaker 1: finals year of the year at the year and you know,
Speaker 1: Lebron had that one amazing comeback.
Speaker 6: But I don't know your thoughts. Who do we got
Speaker 6: Danny g All right, let's start in upstate New York.
Speaker 6: Ken is on the way.
Speaker 10: Hey Ken, Ken, gentlemen, how are I A couple of
Speaker 10: reasons I think is for is One is baseball has
Speaker 10: gotten direct together as far as time, pitch clock, other things,
Speaker 10: just moving the game along a little more. You know,
Speaker 10: sitting down for three three and a half hours. People
Speaker 10: can't do that you sit down for two hours or
Speaker 10: so a little more doable. Yeah, and I think we're
Speaker 10: as far as basketball. I think you've got to go
Speaker 10: back to college, right, you're talking about all of the
Speaker 10: nil and all the all that is encompassing. People are
Speaker 10: in different teams every year, you know the portal. Everybody
Speaker 10: goes to different team. So you can't follow the players,
Speaker 10: and you can't follow them into the colleges as much
Speaker 10: as you used to. You know, you have was in
Speaker 10: one college for for three years or two years even
Speaker 10: at least you got to know that person and you
Speaker 10: could follow them into the pros. Now they scatter and
Speaker 10: it's like, oh, well I used to know him when
Speaker 10: he played for Syracuges, but I don't know when we
Speaker 10: plays for you know, LSU.
Speaker 1: It's a great point, isn't realazing too, that just those
Speaker 1: minor adjustments made the world of a difference for baseball.
Speaker 6: A pitch clock, Uh, do we have time for one
Speaker 6: more phone? Yeah's Austin. You gotta be quick twenty seconds.
Speaker 11: I was just going back to the being out of
Speaker 11: bounds whenever you catch the home run. Yeah, y'all, I
Speaker 11: didn't I didn't hear y'all. Bring up foul bows happens
Speaker 11: more often and has never been complained about from what
Speaker 11: I've ever since.
Speaker 1: Right, the only difference here is that you know, with
Speaker 1: the home run robbery usually bring the ball back into
Speaker 1: the ballpark. And again, like I said, I attribute this
Speaker 1: buzz to overspeculation of the rule book from casual fans
Speaker 1: that are like confused by it.
Speaker 2: Best defensive gameame ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's saying We've got more Coveno on Rich
Speaker 1: next on a Monday at Fox Sports Radio Hangtime
