00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,200

Speaker 1: for you today as we get ready for the second

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: half of the Major League Baseball season. Washington Nationals manager

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: Dave Martinez dropped by also former Major League and ESPN

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: analyst Doug Glanville. That plus foul affair, let's go up

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: to lead off. It's getting robbed to keep him on.

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: Rob's hot take on the three biggest stories in Major

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: League Baseball. Number one, the All Star Game and the

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: festivities in Los Angeles were grand, I mean unbelievable. First

15
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: time in forty two years that Los Angeles hosted an

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: All Star Game. And and that was back in and

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: that was you know, every time they build a new stadium,

18
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: they jumped to the front of the line. And Dodger

19
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Stadium is the second oldest stadium in the National League

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: behind Wrigley Field. That's why they haven't had an All

21
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Star Game. But boy did they roll out the red carpet.

22
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: The I was front and center, and so many stars out,

23
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: so many people. The tribute to Jackie Robinson was incredible.

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: The birthday wished to Rachel Robinson who turned a hundred

25
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: on the day of the All Star Game, and all

26
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: the other players, and just the mood and atmosphere, and

27
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, we got to see a couple of bombs

28
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: and a good baseball game, and they're all wrapped into

29
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: a nice big ball but Baseball put on a show.

30
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you that I enjoyed it.

31
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: And I'll say this till the cows come home. The

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: Baseball All Star Game is still the best All Star

33
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: game because they play the game the right way. It's

34
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: not like hockey with the scores fourteen to thirteen, or

35
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: the NBA with the scores are approaching two hundred and

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: nobody plays defense, or that damn Pro Bowl where nobody

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: wants to tackle or hurt anybody. This is the real

38
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: deal and it's a competition, and that's why the Baseball

39
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: All Star Game is supreme Number two. The big story

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: of course to watch, and it happened prior to the

41
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: All Star Game, the report that Juan Soto turned down

42
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: a fifteen year, four hundred and forty million dollar contract

43
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: from the Washington Nationals. Yes, we're talking about almost a

44
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: half a billion dollars um. So now you know, at

45
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: first the national said they would not trade him. Now

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: after he's turned this deal down, you know, we're looking

47
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline August second, so maybe there might

48
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: be movement and maybe they'll just say this guy is

49
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: not gonna stay with us, we need to get whatever

50
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: we can. He's still under their control for a few

51
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: more years. Uh not until after the season can he

52
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: become a free agent. So this will be interesting to

53
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: Sea HoTT this plays out and how many teams vibe

54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: for him. You know, right away there was talk about

55
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: the first team out there is the Padres that they

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: want to um you know, pair him up with uh

57
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Fernando Tattoos and make those two the cornerstone of that franchise.

58
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: It'll be interested. But I still think he's crazy turning

59
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: down a half a billion dollars. Number three, as we

60
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: look at the start of the second half of the season,

61
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: we know about the Yankees best record in Baseball. We

62
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: know about the Dodgers, who have put distance between themselves

63
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: and the Padres in the NL West and some other teams.

64
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: But the Seattle Mariners with Julio Rodriguez, that the rookie

65
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: sensation who was a monster in a home run derby contest.

66
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: They entered the All Star Break with a fourteen game

67
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: winning streak, which is just incredible, the longest of the season.

68
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: So we have to see where the Mariners wind up,

69
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: um what they're going to do in the a L West.

70
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: We know where the Astros are, the Rangers uh are

71
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: in the mix, and now Seattle has come on strong.

72
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: So this will be very very interesting to see, especially

73
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: with this kid that maybe a lot of people didn't

74
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: know about Rodriguez before the home run derby and now

75
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: they can take a look at this kid and this

76
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: Mariners team that has shocked MLB America. Here comes the

00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: at any given moment, you know, anybody could win, right,

157
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: and we gotta play the game the right way. Um,

158
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, probably Clayton Kershaw is the starting pitcher.

159
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: You know, it might have been other guys who are

160
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: could have easily gotten that job. But I think baseball

161
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: sometimes is about being sentimental, right. I mean, it's Dodgers Stadium.

162
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: He's an all time great? Is that cool to see?

163
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: That's awesome to see and well deserved. I mean, here's

164
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: a guy's nine time All Star. You know, get an

165
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to to start in an All Star game at

166
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: home for him awesome, amazing, good for the game. And

167
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: last thing, obviously you're not at the owner or front

168
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: office and you know, to talk to him out there

169
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: about Soto turn it down that four hundred and forty

170
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. And now of course that's talked that

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: maybe he might be traded by the August second trade deadline.

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: How do you keep kid not being worried about that

173
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: and he's just playing every day. You have to talk

174
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 1: to him and just say, hey, shut that off and

175
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: just but you know what, Soto's Soto understands this game

176
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: as a young players, very mature for his age. You

177
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: understand that he's got to go out and continue to

178
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: compete and try to help the Nationals win. You know,

179
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, he is a National and

180
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't foresee him going anywhere, um until

181
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: until something really does happen. But you know, I love him.

182
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: You know, he's a He's an unbelievable kid. And I

183
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: write his name in a line for every day is

184
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: a joy. So for me, like I said, he's a

185
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: natural and I hope that he's a Nashville for a

186
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: long time. His name is Dave Mortinez, World Series winning

187
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: manager who I knew way before and then so proud

188
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: of you in your career on what's happened to your day.

189
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: We deserve it all. Thank you so much. Robin's great

190
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: to see it that it was a big week in

191
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the big league. Who's Who's a Is it foul or

192
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: is it fair? And now from MLB bro dot com,

193
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: here's JR Gamble j R. Is it foul or fair

194
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: to say that? Show Hey Otani is the favorite to

195
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: win the American League m v P over Aaron Judge.

196
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: That's foul. That is a foul of Aaron Judge. With

197
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: his tremendous first half of the season, has proved that

198
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: he is still the favorite for the m v P.

199
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: The Yankees are in first place, they're running away with

200
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: the division, and they have the most wins in baseball. Now,

201
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: show Hey o Tany being the aberration that he is

202
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: being the only true slugger pictures since like Babe Ruth

203
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: to do it simultaneously and do it effectively. I mean,

204
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: he's been awesome this year and he is doing things

205
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: that we haven't seen ever. In fact, at the NLB

206
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: All Star Game, the biggest crowd of media following people

207
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: around was for show he Otani. So I understand the allure,

208
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: I understand the novelty that he is. But the Yankees

209
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: on first place their position to win the World Series.

210
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge was challenged by the Yankees this year, who

211
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: felt he wasn't worth more than two hundred plus million

212
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: that they were offering him. He bet on himself and

213
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: he's not only having a career year, He's on page

214
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: that hit sixty home runs. So Showhill Tany, California, Los

215
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels, what are they doing? Not much? They have

216
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: Mike Trout, they have oh Tani, and they still can't win.

217
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: Judge is part of a winning situation, and m v

218
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: p s should go to great hitters or winning teams.

219
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: With all due respect the show a O Tany, Aaron

220
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: Judge still my two thousan m v P. Fox Sports

Speaker 1: What do you got for me, Anthony? It's hard to

228
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: miss a guy that stands the plate. But that's kind

229
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: of what it seems like it's been for Gihn Carlos

230
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: Stanton since he's gone to the Bronx, overshadowed by another

231
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: mountain of a man and Aaron Judge. And sure he's

232
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: had great years here and there, but two was the

233
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: first time in five years as a Yankee he's been

234
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: an All Star. Now, the former m v P had

235
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: his All Star moment on Tuesday, just mere miles from

236
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: where he grew up in Sherman Oaks, hitting a man

237
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: with two run homer, his longest of the year at

238
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: four fifty seven feet and taking home All Star Game

239
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: m VP honors, only the third Yankee to ever do so,

240
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: after some guy's name Jeter and Mariano, and in fact,

241
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: Stanton has been what we lovingly called the darling of

242
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: the stat cast era debuting and stat cast has revolutionized

243
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: how we view the game and how we can measure

244
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: the incredible feats these players can accomplish. We can safely

245
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: say that nobody hits the ball harder more consistently than Gihn,

246
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton, and to prove that, we can look no

247
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: further than the list of highest exit velocities in the

248
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: stat Cast era. Looking at that list of the top

249
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: twenty five, Stanton owns an unconscionable twenty of the top

250
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: twenty five have hardest hit balls over the last seven years,

251
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: culminating in a pair of one and twenty two point

252
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: two mile per hour rockets, one last year off Royals

253
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: pitcher Carlos Hernandez that was actually a double play ground

254
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: out and a rip single off Max freed Back in

255
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: the five time All Star now just one of five

256
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: players in history with a real m v P, an

257
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: All Star Game m VP, and a home run Jurby title.

258
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: And Tuesday Night in his hometown, he showed off that

259
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: prodigious power he's possessed since his debut back turned money

260
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: into more money. Now it's time for betting on the

261
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: basis with Dave Gascott loves that money, that money. We'll

262
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: started things off on a Friday night in New York

263
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: at the Mets and the Padres from Queens, very one

264
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: of the better matchups all weekend long. You Darvish on

265
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: the bump for the road team of this one versus

266
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer Darbishes years eight and four with an e

267
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: R at three forty one against Jerzy who has been

268
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: fantastic six and one e R at two twenty two.

269
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the under in this one between the

270
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: Mets and the padre As in game number one, late

271
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: night affair in Los Angeles Dodgers and Giants. Slogan web

272
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: who's nine in three this season and so far he's

273
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna e Al Ray that's up three to eighty three.

274
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Dodgers in this affair against San Francisco,

275
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: although the Giants have given them problems all year long.

276
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: Away from all that, we go back to the American

277
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: link side of things, and the Tampa Bay Rays are

278
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: taken on the Kansas City Royals. Tampa right now coming

279
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: into the second half of the season, ten games over

280
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: five hundred, but they've stumbled a little bit on the road.

281
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: There's sub five hundred so far this season on the

282
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: road twenty and twenty three. I am gonna take a

283
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: little bit of chalk in this one. I'm gonna go

284
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay As a slight slight favorite on the

285
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: road at Kaufman Stadium. So those are the three games

286
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: that got Rob. It's gonna be an interesting second half

287
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: of the season, especially because the Angels had fallen apart,

288
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: and who's gonna win the nationally West will find out.

289
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: When Rob was a newspaper columnist, he lived by this motto,

00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: hundred years old, but her contribution is eternal. She did

310
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: so much to not only bring her family's legacy together

311
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: through Jackie Robinson, but the enduring legacy after he passed.

312
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: All the things she did with the Foundation, I mean

313
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: just incredible, and uh, the game is so much better

314
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: because of what she was able to bring and continue

315
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: to bring through the Foundation. So just thankful to be

316
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: there and think about that spirit today. Let's turn into

317
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, which of course gets

318
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: underway on Thursday, and just um a l E's the Yankees.

319
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: It looks like like, do we have four teams are

320
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs out of that division? How about

321
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: the Yankees? And uh, how good are they? Really? Well,

322
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: they're fantastic. Um, you know, they're doing everything well and

323
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: when you you know, you dominate on the offensive side.

324
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: But she also played great defense and you get the pitching,

325
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: you know that you're gonna have success, and teams are

326
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: all trying to model that. So right now they're doing

327
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: everything well and for them, it's system out of being

328
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: healthy and and uh, making sure they have the depth

329
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: and pitching like any other team to go the Since

330
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: how about in the Al Central White Sox disappointing a

331
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: lot of people in the last couple of years dominant team. Uh,

332
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: we've seen the Twins in first place, and we've been

333
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: seeing the Guardians go back and forth with some wins

334
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: and you know, fighting with the Twins. Who do you

335
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: like they're in the Central? You know, it's it's open.

336
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: Earlier in the year, I did pick the Twins coming

337
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: out of spring training, and I was considering a rebel

338
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: for doing that. But um, I think the White Sox

339
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: have the tremendous talent, but it's not coming together right

340
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: now injuries and various things. So but I see it

341
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: it's still an open race. But the Twins seemed to

342
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: be in the driver's seat right now. Al West. I mean,

343
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: obviously the Maritors are are red hot, but Dusty Baker

344
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: has the Astros playing great and Angels have been a disappointment.

345
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: What do you see there out of the opposite of

346
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: the Yankees. You know, you don't you don't get to pitching,

347
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: you don't catch the ball. You run into a lot

348
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: of problems Astros. You know, Dusty Baker one of the

349
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: best managers of all time. It's found a way to

350
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: get his team on all cylinders. And they have all

351
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: the pieces right now. So big thing will be what

352
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: what the trade deadline will bring, what pieces to add?

353
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: But they're looking really good and you're done. Alba's is

354
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: estoplished himself as a perennial MVP candidate. All right, I'll

355
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: get from ESPN, of course, former Major league here on

356
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: inside the parker. How about the natural league. Let's talk

357
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: about Juan Soto, who not only won the home one

358
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: derby or Monday Night, but reportedly turned down four hundred

359
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: and forty million dollars almost a half a billion dollars.

360
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: What do you make of that? And and do you

361
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: expect the naturals to trade and b we'll get a second. Oh,

362
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, there might be movement. I know they're going

363
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: through questions about ownership and how that's gonna play out.

364
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: He's a he's a legendary generational type player, and he

365
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: can command wherever he wants to go. So I think

366
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: he's just waiting and seeing what chips will fall. He

367
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: has that power to do that right now, and the

368
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: pressure will be on the Nationals whether they resolved that

369
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. But it might be hard to

370
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: keep him a National unless they're gonna compete every year.

371
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: And at least Met Brave, who you like a The

372
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: Mets got off to a great start, Braves upport their

373
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: way back. It's gonna be interesting race. I think it's

374
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun race to watch. You know, the

375
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: Mets are still saving them off, but I don't know

376
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: how it's gonna play out. But the Braves are finally

377
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: getting the pitching they expected. And uh, the rest of

378
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: the National that you know, we got the Brewers and

379
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: obviously the Dodgers out west. The Dodgers have this about everything. Yep,

380
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah they do. And then you know someone the Yankees.

381
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: They just have to stay healthy and get the pieces.

382
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: They have so much depth right now, so it's hard

383
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: to catch them. And Padres are pretty good, but most

384
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: people are playing for second place in that division. Doug.

385
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: We appreciate you, my man, Thank you so much for

386
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: joining us. Thank you now bringing the clothes there. Here's

387
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: why MLB is better than the NFL or NBA, and

388
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: it isn't even close. Reason number eight hundred and fifty

389
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: five why baseball is better than the n b A

390
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: and the n foul is because the players have so

391
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: much personality and are so worth talking about. That's why

392
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: theres so many books about baseball players, including this new one.

393
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's welcome in Jeff Fletcher, an author,

394
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: and his new book is Showtime, The Inside Story of

395
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: show Hei O Tani and the Greatest Baseball Season Ever played.

396
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: It's in stores now. Jeff, welcome to the podcast. Thanks

397
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: for having me, no doubt. Tell us what made you

398
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: interested in writing this book about show Hey. I mean,

399
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: if you just watched what he did last year was

400
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. I mean, none of us alive had ever

401
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: seen anything like it. You know, when you start getting

402
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: compared to Babe Ruth, that's a pretty special accomplishment. And

403
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: just to to have a guy be one of the

404
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: best pictures in the majors and best hitters as one

405
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: person is just a remarkable story. And I was happy

406
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: that I was there to tell it. What will we

407
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: learn and I don't want you obviously, I want people

408
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: to buy the book and read the whole thing about him.

409
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: But is there any kind of interest in tibids you

410
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: could give us about him, give us a little insight

411
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: to show Hey, obviously it is. Uh, you know a

412
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know about him. Uh, share something. Yeah.

413
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: I think one of the real interesting things is just

414
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: the whole process that he got from Japan to the

415
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: major leagues. You know, normally, you're either just drafted and

416
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: you don't have a choice about what team you are,

417
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: or you're a free agent and basically the team that

418
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: rights the biggest check gets you. But with Otani, because

419
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: he was limited by being an international amateur, officially, all

420
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: the teams could basically afford him, from the New York

421
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: Yankees to the Kansas City Royal, so they all took

422
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: a shot at him and basically had to recruit him

423
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: like you would a high school kid trying to get

424
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: to come to a college. So it was a really

425
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: fascinating process. How end up with angels? Our guess is

426
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: Jeff Fletcher, who just wrote a new book, Showtime, The

427
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: Inside Story about Showhi Otani and the Greatest baseball season

428
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: ever played? And uh, does he What kind of a

429
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: celebrity is he? I saw him at the All Star Game.

430
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: There's a million, uh, photographers and reporters from Japan covering him,

431
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: and there have been other great players of course who

432
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: have come from Japan. But does he know his celebrity?

433
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: Is he a humble guy? What kind of guy is he?

434
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: He's a pretty humble guy. And he just sort of

435
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: brushes off the fact that there's fifty reporters and photographers

436
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: following him around all the time and taking pictures of

437
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: him every time he steps on the field. And he

438
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: knows that the whole country of Japan is fascinated by

439
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: like what kind of coffee he likes? But he pretty

440
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: much just kind of stays single minded and focused on

441
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: baseball and doesn't really get distracted by any of that stuff.

442
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: All right, Wicking people pick up the book. It's fascinating.

443
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get a copy. Yeah, you can

444
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: just go to anywhere you buy books online. It's probably

445
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: the easiest, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, wherever you want. You

446
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: could probably pick it up at a bookstore too, but

447
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: just give him a call first. There you go. The

448
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: book is Showtime s h O hyphen Time, the inside
