Baseball is doing everything it should 101 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 3: be doing. They're marketing their stars better. They got young 102 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 3: kids interested again. There are a lot of young stars 103 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: that also helps. There's a lot of big familiar names. 104 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: Baseball's doing. To quote Charlie Sheen in the two thousands. 105 00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: Winning winning. 106 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 5: Baseball should be winning on August first, today we flipped 107 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 5: a calendar, and we should be talking about pennant races. 108 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 5: We should be talking about how great baseball is right now. 109 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 5: You know, over the last five to ten years, I 110 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 5: get it, football still king, I love football, but we 111 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 5: were a little obsessed with football to the point where 112 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 5: it was August and we were talking about preseason antics 113 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 5: and all this when we really should be talking about baseball, 114 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 5: and that was baseball's fail. Now that baseball's back, it's 115 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 5: very clear that this should be baseball time. 116 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: There's so many reasons as to why, and we've been 117 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: speculating that for a long time. But they made all 118 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: the right adjustments. Yeah, we always talked football because baseball 119 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: was moving slow as the world was changing and moving 120 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: faster and you're scrolling on TikTok and you're so easily disinterested. 121 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: Baseball was boring. But they made the right changes. They 122 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: made the game quicker. That really did help. The fact 123 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 3: that we had more than one superstar in Shoheo Tani 124 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 3: and Aaron Judge and Tatis and Harper and like goes 125 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: on and on and on. 126 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: Now, can I tell you the fact that. 127 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: The fact that we had the major market teams in 128 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 3: the playoffs last year and it was exciting as hell. 129 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: You heard it in our voices last year, the Mets, 130 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: the Yankees, the Dodgers, like it made it that much 131 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: more fun and it's set up for a really exciting 132 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: season this year. Well, major markets part of it, but 133 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: it also proves that if you're a small market and 134 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: play your cards right, you could win. 135 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: The Brewers have the best record in baseball. 136 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you got the Dodgers and the Yankees battling 137 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: in the World Series. When you got some other cool 138 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: teams in the mix in the playoffs and it seems 139 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 3: like there's a lot of teams still in it to 140 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 3: win it, it makes things exciting. That's why we saw 141 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 3: a lot of big moves. Even our guy Tim Kirkchean, 142 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: who's been reporting on baseball for one hundred and fifty years, 143 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: said yesterday's trade deadline may have been the craziest, most 144 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: exciting he's been a part of in his career. And 145 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: then did he say, I'm Tim Kirschean, I'm Kuran ESPN. 146 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: So yeah, everybody knows it. We were all on the 147 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 3: edge of our seat, even on this show yesterday. Oh 148 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: my god, Well, who's gonna get who? What moves are 149 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: gonna be made? Are your teams gonna win this deadline? 150 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: And it was exciting, man. And there wasn't really that 151 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: many giant names but like that were traded, but some important, 152 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 3: impactful moves were made. Yeah, the moves for the teams 153 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: that needed to make moves. We're gonna see if they 154 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: make sense. We're gonna go over some of them. But 155 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: are you saying baseball won yesterday? Baseball won the day? 156 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: Baseball is popping they out shine to me, your first 157 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: preseason game.

If you go back a 170 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: few years, we'd be talking football right now, without a 171 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: doubt because people would be tired and board of baseball. 172 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: In fact, in radio, pull you behind the velvet rope. 173 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: When you lead with baseball and you talk baseball, you 174 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: lose most of the audience because it's sort of a 175 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 3: boring old guy conversation. Not anymore more. And that's what 176 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: we lead with today. Baseball is back, Baseball is winning. 177 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 3: Baseball one yesterday, it's August first, and we're talking baseball. 178 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: We're not ready and eager to turn the page. Are 179 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 3: we excited about football? Of course, but are we still 180 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 3: hanging on to see where this season goes? Absolutely more 181 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 3: than ever, more than we have in the past ten 182 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: plus years. I said yes esterday, September and October are 183 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: going to be overstimulating. If you're a baseball fan and 184 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: now you know on the heels of football coming back, 185 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: you may very well be completely overstimulated. With football starting, 186 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: Pennant races playoff baseball the early part of the NFL season, 187 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 3: the next few months are going to be pretty sweet. 188 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: Know what I want to say that contributes to baseball 189 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 3: popping and coming back? I think baseball cards are something 190 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: to do with it, believe it or not, because these 191 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: kids are going wild about it. 192 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 5: So let's talk about all the little things edding up, 193 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 5: because sometimes it could be a relationship, it could be 194 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 5: a job, it could be something we are like, what 195 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 5: do you love about it? It's like there's not one 196 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 5: big thing. Like yesterday with the trade deadline, there wasn't 197 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 5: one big star other than Suarez to the Mariners. There 198 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 5: wasn't really like a top tier guy in my opinion. 199 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 4: Astro Yea. 200 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 5: You might say a couple of the closers Johann durand 201 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 5: to the Phillies. But I'm saying it wasn't like a 202 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 5: year where like Piazza was on the move or Soda 203 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 5: was on the move, or you know, like it wasn't 204 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 5: one of those. 205 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 7: No. 206 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 5: I think we could add up all the little things 207 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 5: and say all the little things together baseball cards. 208 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 4: That's really good on Covino. 209 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 5: I really think embracing the celebrating instead of being all 210 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 5: type butt about it. Like when the Dodgers get a 211 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 5: double and they do their silly little dance on seca 212 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 5: Bay hit flesh Yeah, Or when my Mets get a 213 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 5: hit they do that little rolling of the arms hand up, 214 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 5: or all these teams when they score home run, they 215 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 5: wear a funny helmet in the dugout, they take a selfie, 216 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 5: they do their little celebrations. 217 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: To me, I got another one that is also a contributing. 218 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 3: Factor about the Hey, I know it's baseball and only 219 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 3: eighty year old guys really love us and talk about us. 220 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: But we're gonna do something called City connect Jerseys, and 221 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: you know, maybe that'll help bring some excitement. People want 222 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 3: to want to represent a little bit. I think that's 223 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: great without a doubt. It's moving so fast. The Yankees 224 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: changed their beard policy, their facial hair policy, so jerseys, 225 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 3: these little things mattered merch. Yeah, baseball cards celebrations stood 226 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: out to the Weieniels. 227 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 4: Can I tell you something I saw? 228 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: And Colin loves to point out baseball's poppins or on 229 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 3: the same page with the guy we're fieling in for 230 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: the legendary Colin Cowherd. I can't help but say when 231 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: you go to a game. Now, I'm not a I'm 232 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 3: not a bird brain. Well maybe a little, but I 233 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 3: don't need to be completely entertained. 234 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 4: But when I tell you. 235 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 5: The entrances for the closers, the walk up music, all 236 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 5: the in stadium stuff is evactress at another level, like 237 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 5: when Edwin Diaz comes in for the Mets and Timmy 238 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 5: Trumpets is blaring. City Field now has a light show. 239 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 5: When Duran who just got traded, to tell you know, 240 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 5: maybe you gotta thank the Savannah Bananas for that. I mean, 241 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 5: they've stepped up the entertainment factor so much. And I'm 242 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 5: sure baseball said, hey, why are we shying away from 243 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 5: family fun? 244 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 3: But you remember, like a year ago, who remember a 245 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: year ago? The guy that's now a Philly Johann Durant. 246 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: We talked about how his. 247 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 5: Entrance for the Minnesota Twins was unbelievable, Like the stadium 248 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 5: shuts down and those the lights go crazy. Those type 249 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 5: of things are are right on the right track. So 250 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: I think we nailed it here. Baseball's back and each 251 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,239 Speaker 5: team has stars again. 252 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 6: And big events like tomorrow Bristol Motor Speedway. 253 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 4: Dude, that's going to be sick. 254 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 5: Did you see the overhead of what it looks like 255 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 5: when you fit a baseball stadium on a racetrack? 256 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 4: It looks insane. 257 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: It's the first ever game in the state, so that's 258 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: extra excitement for all the kids out there, and the 259 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: the Field of Dreams game, the Field of Dreams game. 260 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 5: They do the international play once in a while now, 261 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 5: so uh international stars. 262 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 4: But you know what rich I. 263 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: Mentioned and in passing Savannah Bananas, I do believe that 264 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 3: opened the door to Hey, baseball's fun and exciting for 265 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: little kids and families, and that could be a stepping 266 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 3: stone to watching the big leaguers do their thing.

I know you didn't think of What Rich 296 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: is doing is compiling a list to figure out why 297 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: and how we've come so far with baseball and such 298 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: a short period of time. Just two years ago, we 299 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 3: would be talking about NFL, no doubt, no diggity. 300 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 5: But you gotta ask yourself. You and I are big 301 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 5: baseball fans. We grew up playing and loving baseball, and 302 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 5: then as we got older, football became king and baseball 303 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 5: was more of a I wouldn't say niche sport, but 304 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 5: more of something. We're like, yeah, and I love baseball, 305 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 5: but now baseball is popping. I'm our power, and I'm 306 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 5: even more intrigued being that I coach faster paced. I 307 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 5: coach baseball now, and these kids are interested interested. 308 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: And again I give baseball cards a lot of credit 309 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: because they came back with all these special cards and 310 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 3: all these cool unboxings you see on social media. You 311 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: can thank COVID for that. Yeah, maybe, but here's one. 312 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 3: I know Rich isn't going to bring up, but. 313 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 6: That is acts. That is when a lot of card 314 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 6: collectors came back. 315 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: Oh you know what, man, there's so many great cards 316 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: and I'm a big fan. You remember how exciting that 317 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 3: was just to get a great card when you were 318 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: a kid. Imagine how they feel now with all the 319 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: options the food. Baseball parks have stepped up the food 320 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: next level to the point where it's ridiculous. And every 321 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 3: year they're releasing new menu items at the ballpark. When 322 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: you're spending that much money to go, you want to 323 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: have a good time. I think that also added to 324 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: the fund, don't we find ourselves talking about all generic 325 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: The only generic food I ever have at a ballpark 326 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: is a Dodger dog because you feel like you have to. 327 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 3: But other than that, if I go to a stadium, 328 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: you got so many fun options. 329 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 4: Dude. 330 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 5: We just came back from Atlanta. They have barbecue restaurants 331 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 5: within the stadium. They have Chick fil A's in the stadium. 332 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 5: Stadiums there are personalized to that city. Yeah, there's so 333 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 5: many great fun and goofy options. It adds to the fun. 334 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 5: You know, baseball lost its way. It became old and boring. 335 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 5: It's a game. It's supposed to be fun and exciting, 336 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 5: and they're leaning more toward that. And you know, boss 337 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 5: Man hit us up and he said, do you guys 338 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 5: you named all that and you didn't even mention pitchclock, 339 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 5: pace of play, length of game. You know, bat flips, 340 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 5: tenth inning, guy starts on second base, and extra innings. 341 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 4: They are moving the game along. 342 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 3: Like I like it and hate it all at the 343 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 3: same time, because when your team has someone at second 344 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: base automatically an extra innings, you're like. 345 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 4: Yes, and but what is the other team like? No, 346 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 4: I hate that. 347 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: And while we do love the added uh, while we 348 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 3: will love the human element of sports, I'm telling you 349 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 3: the next big one is gonna be those, as Danny 350 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 3: said yesterday, the two ball strike challenges, and then if you. 351 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 4: Get them right, you get the third one. 352 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 5: Because I think even some of these umpire fights and 353 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 5: the staredowns and all that, that's good. 354 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 4: And the feuds, Danny, your Dodgers and Padres hate each other. 355 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: That helps Mets Phillies. 356 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 3: You know what, inything helps too, though, I think again, 357 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 3: having the Yankees Dodgers mess those teams in it yet 358 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 3: still having big market teams competing. Like Rich said, that helps, 359 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: But I think it helps that even though your Dodgers 360 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: won Danny g last year, they're not a hateable team. 361 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 3: Show Hey, Mookie Bets Freeman. They these guys make that 362 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 3: ridiculous team that you have of all Stars not hateable. 363 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 3: So it gets people tuned in. You want to beat 364 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, but you don't hate the superstars. There's so 365 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: many superstars that you could for that aren't even on 366 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 3: your team, that are likable, and Show Hayes one of them. Well, 367 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 3: I think that helps. I want to I want to 368 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 3: point out that right now. Let's let's let's do the math. 369 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 3: I'm a mathematician here, guys. We just came back from Atlanta, 370 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 3: even that derby, we were at the All Star Game, 371 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 3: everything about it, the way it ended in dramatic fashion, 372 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 3: The swing off, yeah, you know, the swing off was ridiculous. 373 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: The bombs, these monster circus shots. These guys are hitting 374 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: the exit velocity. When you see guys like O'Neil Cruz 375 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 3: just teeing off, you're like, my god, you know, kids 376 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 3: love that man. So it's it's back in a big way. 377 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 3: Guys and the proof is today. That's why we bring 378 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 3: it up. Yesterday with the trade deadline and a lot 379 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 3: of moves were made. We'll speculate on that, but without 380 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 3: a doubt, we'd normally be talking about the Chargers Lions 381 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 3: game yesterday. Because you're so quick to you're right, you're 382 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 3: so right that, Danny. We've been here at Fox Sports 383 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: Radio four or five years now, almost right about that, Mabe, 384 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 3: it feels like ten working. Yeah, we've been doing our 385 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 3: show together for like decades. Now, I promise you, what 386 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 3: is it twenty twenty five? Since twenty ten, I'd say 387 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 3: every year until now. If you told me the preseason 388 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 3: kicked off in the NFL and there were some you know, 389 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 3: stories about stars like McLaurin and Michael Parsons and Aaron 390 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 3: Rodgers and we were leading with baseball. This is the 391 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 3: only year baseball's that back in a big way. And 392 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: right now this fifty ish games left in baseball fifty 393 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 3: ish most teams have about fifty three fifty four games 394 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: left on the schedule. So with fifty four games left 395 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: right now, the Mets and the Phillies are within a 396 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 3: half a game of each other. The Brewers have a 397 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 3: one game lead on the Cubs. The Padres only trail 398 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 3: the Dodgers by three, and they just added Mason Miller. 399 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 3: In the National League, you're looking at that, that's insane. 400 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 3: You go to the American League. 401 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 5: If you think the Yankees are gonna roll over, I 402 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 5: hate to say, because Cavino's a Yanks guy. 403 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 4: Oh you beefed up their bullpener. 404 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 5: If you think they're gonna roll over, and just give 405 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 5: this division to the Blue Jays. They're three and a 406 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 5: half games only and Jean Carlos Stanton's back. 407 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 4: Bro the only the only division which is bunk. 408 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 5: I apologize Twins fans because she sort of just sold 409 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 5: everything exter you just you had a yard sale. That's 410 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 5: the only division where the Tigers got it. And then 411 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 5: the West. You don't think the Mariners. 412 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 3: Four games that made the biggest offensive moves. 413 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: So yeah, there's. 414 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 5: There's people that say over the last fifty games they 415 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 5: think the Mariners might be the best team. 416 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 3: Well that's the other reason too. You got other fans 417 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 3: holding on longer than they've had uh in previous years. 418 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 3: Way more teams have a chance deeper into the season 419 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 3: now at the extra wild card and everything else. So yeah, 420 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: these are all the reasons. I mean, we went from 421 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 3: the fun excitement to baseball cards to the food at 422 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 3: the stadium speeding up the game. 423 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 4: That's that's obvious. Man. 424 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 3: That definitely helped. People were against it, but they made 425 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 3: the move. We reaped the benefits, and now we're talking 426 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 3: about it now. Dude, the next fifty games, it's gonna 427 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 3: be electric. And by the way, if you're not a 428 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 3: fan of our show Monday through Friday, what's wrong with you? 429 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 4: You should be. 430 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 3: But Rich and I have a bet of who has 431 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 3: has the best record, the Yankees or the Mets. 432 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 4: And it's a. 433 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 3: Thousand dollars bet, which isn't going to make or break anybody, 434 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 3: but you think I want to lose one thousand dollars 435 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 3: to this guy. 436 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 5: Until the Mets got cold, I was loving the bet 437 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 5: more because the Mets are two games better than the Yanks. 438 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 5: And now last week when it was like full game, 439 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 5: but we raised the States one hundred dollars for every 440 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 5: extra game that they won by so you know, every 441 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 5: day on there glued. And that's another thing too, Rich, 442 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 5: I think people putting action on games that also helps, 443 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 5: you know, with so many factors as to why baseball 444 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 5: is just way more exciting in the past few years, 445 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 5: and we the proof is today And this is no ad, 446 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 5: but for real, I've been doing. We would do the 447 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 5: reads for the DraftKings pick six. Every so often I'll 448 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 5: throw ten bucks on, like, oh, a Mookie home run 449 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 5: with a you know, a Wan Soto more than one 450 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 5: and a half bases, and oh, Mike Trout with a 451 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 5: double like I'll do those, you know, quick little bets. 452 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 5: And I think there's so many layers as to why 453 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 5: baseball's back, and I think we just named like ten 454 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 5: of them. 455 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 6: I should point out that our afternoon Drive show is 456 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 6: eighty percent NFL, so for you guys to lead with baseball, 457 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 6: it does point out that that baseball is thriving right now. 458 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 6: But the real test is going to be when there 459 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 6: are some real NFL games to compete with. Because Rich, 460 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 6: it's easy for you to brush over that Hall of 461 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 6: Fame game last night. Yeah, I'm guessing you didn't watch 462 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 6: much of it. 463 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: No, I watched. I watched a half. How much did 464 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 4: you watch? I watched like zero zero background. Yes, I watch. 465 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 5: I watched highlights and I was like, I looked at 466 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 5: Trey Lanson's box score, and that's it. 467 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 4: But you know what, you're right, Danny. 468 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 3: If it was Thursday night kickoff, that is by far 469 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 3: what we're all watching it. Just it might be more 470 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: of a reflection that baseball was struggling so much that 471 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 3: a preseason football game over the last decade got our 472 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 3: interest more. 473 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 4: But not right now. 474 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 3: I think everything really started to shift when the postseason 475 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 3: started to pop last year. 476 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 4: It's the wild cards. 477 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 3: Man, My postseason is so electric last year, so many 478 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 3: big moments. That's when it all started to come to 479 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 3: fruition and come together. Of course, all the little changes 480 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 3: were in place, but that playoff series, that postseason last 481 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: year really set us up for all this excitement this year. 482 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 3: That Padres Dodger's first round, the Mets making their ridiculous run, 483 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 3: that Alonzo home run in the ninth inning, moments so 484 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 3: doing the little stare for the Yankees, then hitting a 485 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 3: home run, like everything about the postseason was fantastic, and 486 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 3: just to tie a little bow on it. If you 487 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: look at the standings right now, teams like the Angels, 488 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 3: who are slightly under five hundred, are only four games 489 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 3: out of the wildcard well in the National League because 490 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 3: they got Oswaldo Pirazza ready to tear it up, dude. 491 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 5: In the National League, teams like the Marlins and Giants, 492 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 5: who again are slightly under five hundred, are only six 493 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 5: games out of the wildcard, so everyone's sort of in it. 494 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 5: Baseball's popping the mother fnns. 495 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 4: All right, I love baseball.

And 575 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 3: by the way, this ties into everything we're talking about 576 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 3: because when we first heard that news that Seth MacFarlane 577 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 3: was gonna be rebooting Naked Gun. We're like, oh, come on, no, 578 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 3: leave well enough alone alone with Liam liam Neeson.

So 592 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 3: those Carpenter jeans that you got rid of, you know, 593 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 3: the bob vilas that you used to wear their back, 594 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: you should have held on to it.

Rich said he would introduce me to 602 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 3: other friends and people. Yeah, Cavino's a baseball boxing, baseball 603 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,719 Speaker 3: fighting guy. He has the interest of an eighty year 604 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 3: old white guy, and I yeah, yeah, funny if you 605 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: see eighty year old white guy trapped in a forty 606 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: year old Latino guys body. 607 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 2: Right. 608 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 3: So, but I held on long enough to see all 609 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 3: of this come back to be cool again, you know. 610 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 4: So, Hey, Baseball's back.

Ali Kh said no more pay 613 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 3: per views. We got these big fights Canelo Crawford in September, 614 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 3: But everything comes back in baseball, the greatest game, in 615 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 3: my opinion, is back in a big way thanks to 616 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: all the star power and how we've marketed these young 617 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 3: players and how they've stepped up in big ways and 618 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 3: in big moments. 619 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 4: And we saw some big moves go down yesterday. 620 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: The biggest name was Suarez, and I believe it was 621 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 3: the first time that someone with those type of numbers 622 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 3: got traded this late into the season. Thirty six home 623 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 3: runs to Seattle, so makes their line up more potent. 624 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 3: But we'll go over that. What moves you liked and 625 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 3: your thoughts on why I do want to just ask 626 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 3: you of the moves made yesterday. Yeah, and I'm not 627 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 3: playing like, let's break out our crystal ball. I know 628 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 3: you're not Madame Ruby from Peebe's Big Adventure. I see 629 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 3: a bicycle of the moves. No, I just asked chat GPT. 630 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 3: Now you rely on that too much. The other reason 631 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 3: robots are taken over. It guides my life. 632 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 4: Of the moves. 633 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 5: Do you feel like some of the closer some of 634 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 5: the uh you know, missing pieces like to me, I 635 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 5: hate to say it as a Mets fan, the Johann 636 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 5: Duran thing to the Phillies, that's that's big. But then again, 637 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 5: the Mets did get Tyler, Rogers and Hellsley from the Cardinals. 638 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 5: I'm not much of an ALE guy compared to an 639 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 5: NL guy. I'm very aware of him. But Cedric Mullens, 640 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 5: you probably saw him more as a Yankees fan playing 641 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 5: the Orioles. Yeah, he's got some juice or what? 642 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 7: Yes? 643 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 3: Yes, in fact, rich my boy. Ben Berlander, who I 644 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 3: like his stuff, his content. Ben Berlander, MLB contributor analyst 645 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 3: says that your Mets, the Padres, and the Mariners were 646 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 3: the big winners at the trade deadline, and I agree 647 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 3: with them. I wouldn't be just given him props right, 648 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 3: no way if I didn't agree. And the trade deadline 649 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 3: losers were the Cubs, the Socks, and the Blue Jakes. 650 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 4: Yep, right, well, now it's time for the herdline news. 651 00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 4: Let's do this, No, no, this heard line news. 652 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 6: D fellas, I feel like you've already maxed out your 653 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,719 Speaker 6: MLB talk time, so I'll start with the NFL contract 654 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 6: negotiations between Terry McLaurin and the Commanders have not gone 655 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 6: the way the star receiver was hoping, so he officially 656 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 6: requested a trade yesterday. If Commanders GM Adam Peters does 657 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 6: decide to move on from McLaren which would be crazy. 658 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 6: But the NFL website nfl dot com has listed six 659 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 6: teams they think are the best fit for the two 660 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 6: time pro bowler, Chargers, Raiders, Jets, Patriots, rich or Niners 661 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 6: in the Browns. 662 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 3: You know, you gotta understand if there was a trade, 663 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 3: I'm assuming the new team would restructure a deal for 664 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 3: him right now? Would that would be part of the thing, 665 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 3: which means you gotta also then look into like, all right, 666 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 3: which of these teams has money to spare? 667 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 4: He's a catch for any of those teams. My commanders 668 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 4: would be crazy right to let them go somewhere else. 669 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 4: Why would you do that? 670 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 3: You're you're hot right now, you're coming off in a 671 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 3: surprising NFC Championship appearance.
