And so 37 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: as long as I have the bully pulpit, I can 38 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: make these decisions. And we're gonna start with a wrestling story. 39 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: I think you know by now, I'm assume you've heard 40 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: it's really the biggest story I believe in sports, and 41 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: I assume you've figured it out. But the wrestling world 42 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: and the sporting world mourning the death of a legend 43 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: that transcended what was at that time the WWF now 44 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: the WWE. 45 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: Hulk Hogan is dead. 46 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: Died in Florida cardiac arrest early in the morning hours 47 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: on Thursday. I was seventy one years old and was 48 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: born Terry Bulla and he joined the WWF in the 49 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: early nineteen eighties and within a couple of years had 50 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: become the biggest personality and really put that operation on 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: the map and made a lot of people a lot 52 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: of money in those days and even to this day, 53 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: the day that hul Cogan left the mortal coil that 54 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: we all share here, the revenues and the impact of 55 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: the WWE are just next level. So let us discuss 56 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: the question what are you going to remember about the 57 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: life of Hulk Hogan as we knew him. So my 58 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I got shag Carpet, Prince Charming, and bulletproof, 59 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 60 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: we are going to make the gobagoul. 61 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: We're gonna make the Gobagol. So A the main reason 62 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: I'm starting with this is it hits close to home. 63 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: Right chunk of my childhood as growing up and not 64 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: knowing much about anything like we all start out. A 65 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: bunch of my childhood is gone. The man with the 66 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: twenty four inch pythons and the fu manchew. 67 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: Mustache and the whole thing just gone. That's it. See 68 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: you later. Now, what do I remember? What do I 69 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: really remember? I'm not going to sit here and there 70 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: I go on with. 71 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: All his scandals, lawsuits, the reality show, all that. 72 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 3: Listen. 73 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: There's no question Haul Cogan was a flawed man, There's 74 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But what I'm going to remember. 75 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 3: Is my youth. 76 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: Hulkomedia right flashing back. I was a kid, fat kid. 77 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Haul Cogan burst onto the consciousness of America as I 78 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: was growing up, and I saw it through my eyes, 79 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: the eyes of the child. 80 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 3: It was awesome. 81 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: It's fired off man, haul Coke impact that he has 82 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: was next level on the culture in the nineteen eighties. 83 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: This was a guy that stood in my head. This 84 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: is how fed up I was as a kid. I 85 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: don't know if you like me. I don't know how 86 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: old you are. Maybe you're younger than me, and. 87 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: You think, well, well you're just a boom er dude, 88 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 3: what are you doing. 89 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: But as a child in my head, like Hulk Hogan, 90 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: was toe to toe, belly to belly with the cartoon 91 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: heroes that we all worship like he was he man, 92 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: you captain America. Hulk Hogan was them, except he was real. 93 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: You said, no, he was, You're just a loser. 94 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: We'll try telling that to ten year old Fat Benny, 95 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: who was sitting with his legs crossed on some shag 96 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: carpet my parents bought years earlier, in front of those 97 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: giant televisions that was the size of a Toyota. And 98 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: watching hul Cogan become a national treasure. And I don't 99 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: do the whole Mount Rushmore thing. Other people do that. 100 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. But in my head, 101 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: and that could be completely. 102 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: Wrong about this. What do I know? 103 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: But in my head, if I think back to that 104 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: era in my youth, the biggest names in sports in 105 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, that's Joe Montana with the forty nine ers, 106 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: Magic Johnson with the Lakers.

So our lead is from the NFL. 372 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: It's not really training camp. It is not really training 373 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: camp until we get what kind of breakfast? 374 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 3: That's right? Snap, crackle pop. We got some of that. 375 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: Now, good news. We have our first quarterback injury of 376 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: training camp. If you saw it, you know what I'm 377 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: talking about. 378 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 3: Maybe not. 379 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: Initially, there was a lot of doom and gloom around 380 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields Fields of pain. 381 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: As he dislocated a toe on his right foot. 382 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: The initial reports doom and gloom carted off extreme pain, 383 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: people predicting the kind of injury that Justin Fields was 384 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: going to have the worst of the worst. Now they're 385 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: calling Fields, I love this. The initial reports while will 386 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: it was bad, then they said what day to day? 387 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 3: The early word, though is is going. 388 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: To miss at least a couple of weeks most likely 389 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: of practice. Keep in mind, from now in here we 390 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: are in late July. From now until February, well I 391 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 1: guess till January, there will be NFL football every single 392 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: Thursday that we have passed the rubicon. We have crossed 393 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: over this past Thursday, yesterday, it's our Friday's the twenty 394 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: fifth day of July. But the last Friday without football 395 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: or last Thursday without football NFL football. 396 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 3: Now, keep in mind, the Hall of Fame game is 397 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: coming up. It's pretty unwatchable. You know. 398 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: It's a lot of tradition, a lot of pomp and circumstances. 399 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: It's a big deal if you live in that part 400 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: of Ohio, but for the rest of us, it's you know, 401 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of backups, of backups of backups. But the 402 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: point is there'll be people in NFL costumes hitting other 403 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: people in NFL costumes, and that starts coming up this Thursday. 404 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: So it's a rapid fire here, rapid fire, which is 405 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. 406 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 3: But back to justin field. 407 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: So they said, well, initially not that bad, and then 408 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: they say day to day, this is a couple weeks 409 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: of press now, depending. 410 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 3: On how he recovers, could be longer. 411 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: The Jets safety that you know with the back quarterback 412 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: for the Jets is do you know I had to 413 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: look it up Tyrod Taylor. Yeah, he's still around Tyrod Taylor. 414 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: Who's favorite medical staff the Chargers clearly, but he's the 415 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: backup plan. So Taylor is a Justin Fields busted toe 416 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: away from being QB one and getting the job. 417 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 3: So let us discuss the question what is your read 418 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 3: on the Justin Fields injured tutsie with the Jets. 419 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: So I've got pizzeria, water, and Airbnb, and we'll combine 420 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to 421 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: make a salad. Now, I don't eat salad, so you 422 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: can have my salad number one. To quote the great 423 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: Scooby Doo, rot Row, Trouble Brewing, Trouble Brown. Right, we 424 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: all know from our ability of watching football, our knowledge 425 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: of football paying attention football, Justin Fields relies on what 426 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: the only games where he's been good have been where 427 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: he dominates. 428 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 3: With his legs. 429 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: The whole skill set is dependent on mobility. Justin Field's 430 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: the competitive advantage he has, and I'm not one of 431 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: his advocates. But his advantage is run, run, run, and 432 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: run run. It is not reading defenses. It's not sitting 433 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: back anticipating who's going to be open. It's not running 434 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: timing routes with the wide receivers. It's not any of that. 435 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: His big advantage as a dual threat quarterback is to 436 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: go and now without the toe, no toe, no got 437 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: So this isn't just some run of the mill injury. Now, 438 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: if you're just a pocket passer, you're like, well, we 439 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: can figure it out. But you take away that mobility, 440 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: and what are you left with. If you just had 441 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: to have justin fields throw the ball. 442 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 3: He would not be in the NFL. He would be 443 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 3: not he would doing TikTok videos or something. 444 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: He's a mid passer, a guy who hasn't proven he 445 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: can win from the pocket. He's not going out there 446 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: and dicing up anyone with accuracy, with precision. 447 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 3: If he's not moving around, he's nothing. 448 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: And so this toe thing is everything could be a 449 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: real problem justin fields. 450 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 3: If you look at his body of work, now, he has. 451 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: Been a pizzeria during his career, from the Bears to 452 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: the Steelers and now he's on the Jets. And the 453 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: pizzeria is named Shaky's, except he didn't have the mojo potatoes. 454 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 3: Right. There have been some mojo moments. 455 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: There have been some mojo moments with running the ball, 456 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: some viral highlights. 457 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 3: On social media. The consistency has not been there. 458 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: That's why he keeps getting passed around like the collection 459 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: plate at church on Sunday. 460 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 3: So page two, here is there a silver lining for. 461 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: Justin Field suffering from this toe injury with the Jets? 462 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: So I am nodding my head, Yes, there is actually 463 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: a silver lining to this. Okay, there is a silver 464 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: lining is I'll tell you all right, this reeks if 465 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: you use your nose, you smell that. 466 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 3: It reeks of a ready made excuse. 467 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: You know it's true. You know I don't push back, 468 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: it's true. Right, Just add water, Just pour a little 469 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: water there, watch it grow. Yeah, that's what this is. 470 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, that is what this is. He's already 471 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: behind the eight ball, and now Justin Field's missing valuable reps. Right, 472 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: these early practices before the games get going very important. 473 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 3: And the excuse is. 474 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: Well, he was trying to learn a new system, and 475 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: he's got new coaches, and he's got new team, baites 476 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: and everything do and he get me practice. 477 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, that whole thing. So it's not fair. It's gonna 478 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 3: take him two months to figure things out. 479 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: And of course the problem is when the games actually 480 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: start and we're almost in August, it's only a few 481 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: days away, and then the season begins in September. 482 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 3: He goes out there. 483 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: And drops a deuce right on the mid field logo 484 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: there and stinks up the joint. And don't worry, don't worry, 485 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: it's okay. He'll just go in his back pocket. He's 486 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 1: got in his back pocket the oh, well, I missed 487 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: camp because of the toe thing. Just give me tie, 488 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: give me I'll be fine. I'll be fine. 489 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 3: That's it. Gotta have it. 490 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: So it's again it's a positive. Suppose it's a minor thing. 491 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: And he's got that in his back pocket. All right, 492 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: So we're going to leave the world of the NFL. 493 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: We're going to go to baseball. We had a trade, 494 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: a Thursday special. 495 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 3: I love trades. Do you like trades? All right? 496 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: So we had a it's been called a meaningful trade. 497 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: Being called a meaningful trade. The deadline is this Thursday, 498 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: so we are less than a week away. From that's it. 499 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: The store is closed. You can't make any more trades. 500 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 3: The Seattle Mariners. 501 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: But crying Craig is going to start crying when he 502 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: finds out about this, and Nostre Denis and JJ and 503 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: Ranton and Robbie the Mariner fan. We got some big 504 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: stars in the Seattle area that are regulars on the 505 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: show or have been regulars over the years. So the 506 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners, Is it true the Seattle Manners have required 507 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: first baseman Josh Naylor first baseman Josh Naylor from the 508 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: Diamondbacks for a couple of pitching prospects. 509 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 3: I'm nodding my head, Yes, it is true. 510 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: So Seattle's kind of chasing a playoff spot as they're 511 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: trying to bolster they're always suck bag offense there, particularly 512 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: at first base. So what stands out here's the question 513 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: for all the baseball hardos. What stands out and we'll 514 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 1: get to the mall of report card, But what stands 515 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: out about the Mariners getting slugger Josh Naylor. 516 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: From the Diamondbacks. 517 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: So if you look at Seattle and there's a lot 518 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: of tams A bass I was talking to somebody the 519 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: other day who works in that business, and we were 520 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: going back and forth. They were like, Ben, there's not 521 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of big name trades because there's 522 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: too many teams that are mathematically in the race. There's 523 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: too many faux contenders, teams that aren't good but have 524 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: the illusion of contention because Baseball kept adding wild card teams. 525 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: So they have a lot of teams that really don't 526 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: deserve to be in the conversation, but they will. They're 527 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: not gonna make any any trades in terms of selling 528 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: because they're convinced, hey, we just have to get in. 529 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: And teams have done that. The Atlanta Braves famously the 530 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: year they won the World Series. For years back, they 531 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: sucked at the trade deadline. They made some trades, they 532 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: won the World Series. The Washington Nationals when they won 533 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: years ago, they weren't that good. They made some moves 534 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: and win the World Series, right, Arizona Diamondbacks didn't win it, 535 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: but they made some moves they got to the World Series. 536 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: I said, one of those things, it's it's the blessing 537 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: in the curse of baseball, just by getting in. The 538 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: perception is you can play well for a month and 539 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: you can end up getting it. But in terms of 540 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: what stands out about the Mariners getting Josh Naylor from Arizona, 541 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: it is a team that has a bullet hole and 542 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: they have put a band aid on the bullet hole. 543 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: And remember last year they got Randy or Rose Arena, 544 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: who I liked, and he's okay, and and he's not 545 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: as good as I thought he would be in Seattle. 546 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: They got him from Tampa Bay and he was supposed 547 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: to fix the offense that didn't work. 548 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: The offense continues to be a dead zone. 549 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: Is there's some kind of cosmic field over the ballpark 550 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: there in Seattle that is causing them to not be 551 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: able to hit in their ballpark, Like. 552 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 3: It's a in this trait. 553 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,959 Speaker 1: The other thing about it, it's an Airbnb situations, an 554 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: Airbnb rental, but it's not a good one, right, So 555 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: it's one of those places that you look up online. 556 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: It's kind of it's cheap, not a great part of town, 557 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: sketchy part of town, and the photos look okay, but 558 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: you know, you check in and all that stuff, and 559 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: then you get in there and it's one of those 560 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: places where you smell the fridge and somebody left some 561 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: hard boiled eggs in there that turned rotten, so you 562 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: smell that. And they left some broccoli, some cauliflower, and 563 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: some Brussels sprouts that have just been smelling up the 564 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: entire the entire place, and there's no hot water, that 565 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: doesn't work, and there's probably bed bugs. That's your Airbnb. 566 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: So this is the standard. I've been doing this for 567 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: a few years. It's the standard Seattle style trade because 568 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: they've admitted, in a momode of weakness, they're not actually 569 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: trying to win in any given year. They just want 570 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: to win fifty four percent of their games and get 571 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: to the playoffs and they figure eventually, one of these 572 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: years they're going to win. It's very compelling, very exciting. 573 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: You want to hear that as a fan. Team's not 574 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: really trying to win, they're just trying to get in. 575 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of teams that have been hijacked 576 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: by the analytical people. 577 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 3: And that's the philosophy. Seattle admitted it, the gym admitted it. 578 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 3: He admitted it. So like they're not this is not 579 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: an all in trade. They're not. 580 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: This is a Seattle style trade. Like you dip your 581 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: toe in, you don't do the belly Whopper. You just 582 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: gotta put your toe in the water a little. 583 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 3: Bit, just a little bit. 584 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: And that's it right now for the low information fan, 585 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: the unknoledgeable fan, they're like, oh, that's a that's a 586 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: good trade. That is a sexy trade. Now, as far 587 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: as the Malor report card, a very important tool, the 588 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: Malle report card. 589 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 3: To grade the trade. 590 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: So the Mariners get a B minus, Arizona gets a C. 591 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 3: Arizona gets a. 592 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: C, and they're just giving away a player that wasn't 593 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: in their plans. The Diamondbacks and the reason the Mariners 594 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: get to be minus. When you dig a little deeper, 595 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: the Mariners didn't give up much. They gave up a 596 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: couple of mid tier pitching prospects and maybe one of 597 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: those guys turns out to be a middle of the 598 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: bullpen or back of the rotation pitcher, but that's about it. 599 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: And Josh Naylor the reason I can't go higher than 600 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: like a B minus and I want to go see plus. 601 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 3: I want B minus. Josh na if you look at last. 602 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: Season, he hit thirty one home runs last year. This 603 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: season he's got eleven and. 604 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 3: It was still time. 605 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: Okay, is he going to Barry bonds show Hail Tani 606 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: like run here for Seattle. 607 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 3: They're not playing at the Kingdome anymore. Good luck on that. 608 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: So he's he's okay, you look at some of the 609 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: nerd numbers. I try to avoid those. But if you 610 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: look at the nerd numbers, the hard contact rate is 611 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: not that great. 612 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 3: And the other thing, and this is a problem. 613 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: You always worry about guys that come from the Rockies 614 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: or the Red Sox, these bandbox ballparks because the numbers 615 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: they put up are phony. They're not sustainable in a 616 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: big ballpark, and that is an issue. And Josh Naylor's 617 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: numbers are not that great. But if you look at 618 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: what he's done at Chase Field, the hitter friendly ballpark, 619 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: he's been pretty good. 620 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 3: On the road. 621 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: When he leaves that hitter friendly ballpark in that Arizona 622 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: desert air, his numbers are pretty mediocre. Like batting averageses 623 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: ops are not good, not good. And so you're like, well, 624 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: he's going to this great canyon in Seattle, a pitcher 625 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: friendly ballpark, So is he going to be yet another 626 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: yet another Mariner player that. 627 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 3: Blows like there are street blows? 628 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 2: So we'll see be sure to catch live editions of 629 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 2: The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven 630 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 2: pm Pacific. 631 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 3: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. Here 632 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 3: we got lar. How about that to the third degree? Yeah, 633 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 3: this is one big Ben gets grill. We're doing this 634 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 3: for the Mexican John Dutton. Here we go Cool. 635 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 7: Baker Mayfield said on a recent podcast appearance that at 636 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 7: every stop he went to he was told to tone 637 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 7: it down a little bit, whereas the Bucks have just 638 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 7: told him from day one to be himself. Ben, do 639 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,479 Speaker 7: you think things would have gone better in Cleveland if 640 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 7: they had done the same. 641 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: No, they would have been better if Baker Mayfield didn't 642 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: suck half the time. Yeah, it's fine if you're the energizer, Bunny, 643 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: you're out there. You're radical and fire Brandy. He's not 644 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: that radical, but you gotta perform. And the fact that 645 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham deputized his father to get away from Baker 646 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: Mayfield was a bad sign. 647 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 3: Good for Baker. He's turned out to. 648 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: Be a good quarterback, at least a better than bad 649 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: quarterback in Tampa. But let's not pretend like he didn't 650 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: have his issues in Cleveland. And it wasn't because the 651 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: Browns would let him be Baker next. 652 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 7: Marvin Harrison Junior told reporters on Wednesday that he feels 653 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 7: more powerful and is ready to showcase it this season. 654 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 7: Ben Harrison was the first receiver off the board and 655 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 7: had a productive rookie season, but he's still lagged behind 656 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 7: leak neighbors Brian Thomas, Lady McConkie, and Brock Bowers.
