I know there was a playing thing 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: whatever that is in Dayton in college basketball, but there 59 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: were about seven people watching that and then you know 60 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: that's where the March madness is. But this this thing 61 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: in Miami, it's so odd to see a baseball game 62 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: in Miami with fans. It's wild. It's like, well, this 63 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: is Twilight. So there's actually people that liked baseball in 64 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: Miami and they went to watch a game. Whoa. Anyway, 65 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: that was the stage for the championship game of the 66 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: made for television World Baseball Classic. You had Venezuela on 67 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: one side versus the USA on the other, medals and 68 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: a trophy, medals and a trophy or as Rob Manford 69 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: would say, just a piece of metal. Anyway, stadium was packed, 70 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: the energy seemed pretty good. Stadium that's normally a ghost town. 71 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: Marlin's man was there, and he doesn't usually go to 72 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Marlins games, because why would you. He was checking it out. 73 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: You had a Eduardo Rodriguez for the team representing Venezuela 74 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: versus Nolan MacLean of the Mets for Red, White and Blue, 75 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: wrapping himself in the flag, big opportunity. Did you watch 76 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: any of this? He was on Fox. It wasn't ONNFS 77 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: one or FS two or FS thirty three. It was 78 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: on Big Fox. Did you check it out? No? Maybe not? Well, 79 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: the game was most of the game was too nothing 80 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: in favor of Venezuela, and then then the USA tied 81 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: it up, but in the end heartbreak hotel As Venezuela 82 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: wins the World Baseball Classic for the first time after 83 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: choking away a lead in the eighth inning, blowing a 84 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: lead that too nothing lead, and then they end up 85 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: beating the team from the US three to two on 86 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: a Uhaneo Suarez tie breaking home run or not homer. 87 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: I was a double tie breaking double in the in 88 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: the ninth inning. There and Bryce Harper, who has not 89 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: been very good, he did have a big moment temporarily 90 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: in the eighth inning. Harper hit a two run dong 91 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 1: for the team representing America there in the eighth before 92 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock came in there and 93 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: coughed up a fur ball and turned out the lie 94 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: as the parties over. Now, Team Venezuela third baseman Michale 95 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: Garcia wins the WBC MVP Award. I don't know what 96 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: that looks like, but he won it, so congratulations there. 97 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: The better story is in the losing locker room, and 98 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: there are some people questioning the relief strategy for Team 99 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: USA and the decision and who was available, who wasn't available. 100 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: The person who's getting absolutely charbroiled more than anyone is 101 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: El Capitan Aaron Judge. All rise except in big games, 102 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. There he was getting a lot of the play, 103 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: all right. So let's good jumping off point. Let us discuss, 104 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: and I need you if you want to have baseball people, 105 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: I need you. This hour is a big hour, the 106 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: baseball hour. So the question is it true that Team 107 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: USA Slugger star Aaron Judge choked yet again, yet again 108 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: on the big stage. So I've got playing scrabble, Russell 109 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: Crowe and Banana Hammock, and we will combine all of 110 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: these things together and we're gonna get saucy is what 111 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna get, all right. So a to answer the question, 112 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: is it true? Oh thousand percent true. That is the 113 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: textbook definition of El slumpo for Aaron Judge. It is 114 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: an open and shut case. It is very straightforward. There 115 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: is no gray area. And as much as the people 116 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 1: that are on the payroll for Mitche League Baseball would 117 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: like to defend Aaron Judge, I'm not on the dime 118 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: for baseball they're not paying me. I would they would. 119 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: I'd suck up to Aaron Judge like all these other 120 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: hacks are. I could lie to you and say how 121 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: great Aaron Judge is in big games. That would be 122 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: a lie. I'd get paid for it. They get paid 123 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: for it. I'm not getting paid for it. So I'm 124 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: gonna tell you what really happened. And what really happened 125 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: is Aaron Judge, who is the size if you go 126 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: to the zoo, He's the size of an elephant. It 127 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: looks like a glitch. We always goof on Kyler Murray 128 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: alligator arms Murray because it looks like a glitch, like 129 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: who let the little kid in there? There's a toddler 130 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: playing quarterback in the NFL. Well, Aaron Judge is like 131 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: an elephant playing baseball. And yet when it's a big 132 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: mall met he's like a pigmy mouse. It's a little 133 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: tiny mouse, a little tiny mouse. When the lights get 134 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: bright and don't give me the month March, he's still 135 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: trying to find his swing. Everyone is in the same boat. 136 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: There's no one who wasn't in the same situation there. 137 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: This is not some spring training karaoke night. It's not 138 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: that right. This is supposed to be And I don't 139 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: want to get this wrong because what we were talking 140 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: about saying the previous episode bigger than the World series, 141 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: those aren't my words. I didn't say that. I don't 142 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: think this is bigger than the World Series. You know 143 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: who does Aaron Judge? He said it, he said it, 144 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: he said it, and he sucked, He sucked, and he sucked. Okay, 145 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: and so he goes out, there had four at bats, 146 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: all for four, and I am relatively confident that for 147 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: three of those at bats, you and I would have 148 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: done the same thing. Strikeout, strikeout, strikeout. Yeah, who goofed? 149 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: I've got to know, against a patchwork Venezuela pitching staff, 150 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: team USA suffering and Aaron Judge at the very top. 151 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: My diagnosis, doctor Mallers diagnosis, Tight took his syndrome for 152 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: much of that game. Tight took his syndrome. Well, I 153 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: am not a doctor, but I do play one on 154 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: the radio. And so er for four again, three punch 155 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: outs for Judge, and that is not a slump. That 156 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: is a Houdini vanishing act. And he said, well, it's 157 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: a team effort. Yeah, but when you're the biggest star. 158 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: You gotta get it done. You gotta get it done. 159 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: He's already had I had some experience in the past 160 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: and big games. It has not gone well. And he's 161 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: at the point in his career he's only got a 162 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: couple more years left of domination. Then there's the slow 163 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: decline unless he can get some good pharmaceuticals and keep 164 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: playing at a high level. But you look at it 165 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: and it's like now you see me, now you don't. 166 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: Now you see me, now you don't. And it's the 167 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: same movie. It's the same movie every time, different theater. 168 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: Obviously a theater is much different here than the same inning. 169 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: So playing scrabble, the phrase for this is common denominator. 170 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: The common denominator is Aaron Judge. And we love when 171 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: things line up as human beings. One of the weird 172 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: things about us. There's a lot of weird things about 173 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: all of us. We're all related in one way or another. 174 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: But one of the weird things about this is the 175 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: way that we love the symmetry. When Aaron Judge was 176 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: playing in the World Series in twenty twenty four, he 177 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: played my favorite defensive inning in the World Series game. 178 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: It was a fifth inning of game five the World Series. 179 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: My favorite inning I've ever watched baseball was the fifth inning. 180 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: It was top of the fifth just amazing, just absolutely 181 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: chef's kiss. And Aaron Judge was part of that butchered 182 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: a ball in the outfield terrible. In that World Series, 183 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge batted two twenty two, said well, bettering everage 184 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: doesn't matter Boomer. Okay, well fine, you can think that way. 185 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: Twenty two batting average in the World Series in twenty 186 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: twenty four, so we obviously did better in the World 187 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: Baseball Classic, unless he did exactly the same. He batted 188 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: two twenty two in the World Baseball Classic, and again 189 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge said, this is bigger. This is bigger than 190 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: the World Series and its common denominator, theater is what 191 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: it is. And Aaron Judge, you can like him and 192 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: have a fat head on your wall and have all 193 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: kinds of Aaron Judge merch. The reality is, though, that 194 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge commandeered the vomit comment and he didn't even 195 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: bring a parachute. There was no parachute for Aaron Judge. 196 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: There was none. And he needs some scrubbing bubbles because 197 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: he really has to clean some stuff up. Here. This 198 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: guy's got he's got that big game cootie thing going on. 199 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: There's some stank and it won't wash off. It will 200 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: not wash off. Now. Fortunately he's playing for the Yankees, 201 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: and their ownership doesn't seem to care about winning anymore. 202 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: It's old family money. George Steinbrenner is dead, he's not 203 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: coming back. The kids just don't care as much. They don't. 204 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: That's the reality. So it's okay. I mean, imagine, if 205 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm dating myself this, a guy named George Steinbrenner used 206 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: to own the Yankees, and he was a complete lunatic, 207 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: complete nut job, right, And he's the guy nicknamed Dave 208 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: Winfield mister May because it's Dave Winfield's big star back 209 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: in a million years ago, and played really well in 210 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: May and down the stretch would always fall apart, at 211 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: least in the eyes of Steinbrenner. And the kids just 212 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: don't have that. They don't have that thing. The apple 213 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: occasionally does fall far from the tree and it rolls 214 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: down a hill and into a creek, and that's what's 215 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: happening for the Yankees. So that's a good thing, because 216 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: if this was the old Yankees, they'd trade Aaron Judge 217 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: and say, my god, this guy can't perform the big games. 218 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: We're all about big games. These can't get it done. 219 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: We've got to get rid of this guy. If it 220 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: looks like a choking dog and it bats like a 221 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: choking dog, it's a choking dog. Arf that's Aaron Judge, 222 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: So stop defending it. I know you're all on the take. 223 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: I got you all your baseball scribes that have jobs 224 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: around Major League Baseball, the broadcasters that are approved by 225 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, I get it. I understand that hopefully 226 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: some of you will have enough common sense to realize 227 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: you're being fed propaganda. You're being fed propaganda. And Judge, 228 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: would I want them on my team in May or 229 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: June or July. Absolutely, of course I would. Unfortunately, when 230 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: there's a big game, he turns into a cardboard cutout 231 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: and it's raining and it's not covered any kind of 232 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: protective stuff there. So anyway, all right, now turning the page, 233 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: but not far Now that the twenty twenty six World 234 00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: Baseball Classic has been stuffed into a time capsule, all right, 235 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: let's slap a malor approved review label on this bad boy, 236 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: bad boy, bad boy? What you gonna do all right, 237 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,119 Speaker 1: So the question, did the latest edition, the latest installment 238 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: of the World Baseball Classic live up to your expectations? 239 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: Did it live up to expectations? So the way I'm 240 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: going to tackle this one, I'm gonna surprise you. Not 241 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: only did it live up to expectations, it pull vaulted 242 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: over them like an Olympic gymnast that has been drinking 243 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: can after can of red Bull. If you know what 244 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. All right, so let's be honest. Here the 245 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: secret sauce. What was the secret sauce? Well, the secret sauce. 246 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: The reason I am Benny Bright's out on this is 247 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: the blessing of low expectations. I've been asked do these 248 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: radio hits on different shows and whatnot. And I got 249 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: asked a few times doing these things. I say what 250 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: are you Are you excited for the World Baseball Class? 251 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: And I was like, not really, Like I'll watch it 252 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: for the talk show. I got to come up with 253 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: stuff to talk about it. I'm not that excited about it. 254 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: My expectations were rock bottom. And the lower the bar, 255 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: the lower the bar, the easier is to zoom past it. 256 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened here, and so this thing 257 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: had some juice. There appeared to be passion. There was 258 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: a lot of dancing, shaking your tushy. There was some drama, 259 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: little Shakespearean type situation here, which we like. And you 260 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: had heroes rising up like sour dough bread and others 261 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: crumblings like a day old cookie. So you had a 262 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: little bit of that. It's always fun. You see pressure, pressure, pressure, 263 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: But it's one of the great things. The reason we 264 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: watched these games, right, the reason we love sports, and 265 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: it's who performs and who does. It's make or miss 266 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: league and all that. And some guys rise up there 267 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: and they turned into a fire breathing dragon in the 268 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: big moment. And then there's others that turned into a 269 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: lizard under a heat lamp. So there is that. This 270 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: was gladiator stuff, the World Baseball Classic, it was gladiator stuff. 271 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: Er go the old the character Russell Crowe back in 272 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: the day in the arena, screaming are you not entertained? 273 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: Are you not entertained? Like that? And for once the 274 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: answer was not a sarcastic shrug which I normally give 275 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: and give side eye when I'm asked that question, Were 276 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: you not entertained. Please losers. No, this was a full 277 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: throated yes, Benny Brightside again, even Rob Manford could not 278 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: mess this up, which is shocking. Which is shocking. And 279 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: the timing people keep saying we got to move it. 280 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: We was not more about this minute. They can say, 281 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: we're got to move the World Baseball Classic to the 282 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: either after the World Series or do it do it 283 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: at the All Star Break. I think the timings a 284 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: chef's kiss, I really do. And here's why. It's right 285 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: in that Bermuda triangle on the sports calendar. You feel 286 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: me on that. So the beer in a triangle is 287 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: post Super Bowl, post NFL Free Agency, before March Madness. 288 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: So this is kind of there's like a couple of 289 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: weeks and they timed I know that, the marketing people 290 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: of baseball, they said, we'll put it here. This is why. 291 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons they put it there. And 292 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense. So two enthusiastic thumbs up, which 293 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: almost never happens to the World Baseball Classic, a rare 294 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: win for Major League Baseball. And it was not well, 295 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't major League Baseball production, but it was all right. 296 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: Last word, Now, speaking of the timing of all this. 297 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: Some comments made my USA skipper Mark de Rosa, who 298 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: will return to his TV job. He believes that every player, 299 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing, every player would volunteer to play in 300 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic if it is moved to the 301 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: All Star Break. Now, I just explained, I like the 302 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: fact that this is in March, and it's around big 303 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: events and all that stuff, So they would be according 304 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: to this a quote from Derosi said, they would be 305 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: more prepared and more dialed in. Team USA skipper said, 306 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: and we'd be dealing with way less restrictions and way 307 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: less guidelines on the pitching, he stated, the pitching if 308 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: it has moved to mid season, no question about it. 309 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: So the question for us again, Mark de Rosa believing 310 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: every player would volunteer for the World Baseball Classic if 311 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: it has moved to the All Star Break. How realistic? 312 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: Here's the question, how realistic does this come across? So 313 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 1: my reaction is what planner are you living on? That's 314 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: my reaction. And where you're at here? Maybe you're on 315 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: an island somewhere. Is it fantasy island? Is it? I 316 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: don't know? That is My word is humbuggery. That is 317 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: some humbuggery by Mark de Ros. It sounds good in 318 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: a press release to send it out there, grow the 319 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: game for the good of baseball. You throw that out. Meanwhile, 320 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: all the players here is goodbye vacation, Hello extra work, 321 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: all right, hello extra work. The All Star Break is 322 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 1: sacred Baseball. Teams play anywhere from six to seven days 323 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: a week. They normally get a couple days off a month, 324 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: but they're playing every single day's travel days and things 325 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: like that, and they get paid a lot of money. 326 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: And trust me, they travel like kings, travel like kings. 327 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: But they still complain about it because everyone complains about everything. 328 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: And so the All Star Break is a very special time. 329 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: That is a time for the banana hammock, the umbrella 330 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: cocktail drink. And you're asking, guys, if you play the 331 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, to swap Cabo for Tokyo is what 332 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: you'd be doing in spring training. World Baseball Classic. It 333 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: works because it's a field trip. It's like you're getting 334 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: out of something, you're escaping then of the Grapefruit and 335 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: Cactus League. And let's not ignore also that this myth 336 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 1: that the owners and the executives and the nerds in 337 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: baseball are gonna all of a sudden stop hovering like 338 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: overprotective parents. That's not gonna stop. Don't touch my two 339 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars pitcher. You think they're gonna 340 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: loosen restrictions, like, that's what Mark de Ros's pitching. He's like, Wow, 341 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: we move to the All Star Game, will be less 342 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: restrictions on pitching? Really, I want to bet on that, 343 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: No chance. Plus the other thing is if a guy 344 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: gets hurt in March, it's not good. However, you haven't 345 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: played a regular season game yet. You can adjust and say, well, 346 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: he wasn't part of the team. You have time just 347 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: in July. If this thing goes on in July, it's 348 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: Oregon Donors stuff is what it is. You. Unless there's 349 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: a giant bag of endorsement money, the idea would be 350 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: da dead on arrival. That would be that. Plus, you'd 351 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: have to have what a month off for the All 352 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: Star break because this thing two weeks. You'd have to 353 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: have a week to gear up for it. You get 354 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: the players get together and sing Kumbaya, and then you'd 355 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: have to have a week after it where the guys 356 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: could go on vacation, so it would be a four 357 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: week pause in the Midsummer portion of the baseball schedule. 358 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: It is the Ben Malar Show.

He says, 415 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: this is a travesty everything the United States has done 416 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: for Venezuela, and this is the thanks we get, going 417 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: off script and stabbing us in the back. There is 418 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: still time to do the right thing and give the 419 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: United States the hunk of metal I mean trophy. Yeah, 420 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: I know about that Late Night Drug tester says, I'm 421 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: just grateful that Bobby Witt Junior did not face the 422 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: wrath of the opening monologue Kansas City twenty twenty six 423 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,479 Speaker 1: Al Central Champs. So what came from the late night 424 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: drug tester? He's fired up. There are plenty of guys 425 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: that we could have attacked. Aaron Judges, the captain. He 426 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: gave the speech prior to the World Baseball Classic where 427 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,479 Speaker 1: half the team ended up needing a nap. Remember that, 428 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: and they need a pillow. Bobby Witt Junior betted a 429 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: robust two point fifty, which was better in this overall 430 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: in the World Baseball Classic. But Wit actually hit the 431 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: ball better, had a better ops than Bryce Harper. Judge 432 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: did have a higher OPS than Bobby Wit Junior. Wit 433 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: was zero for three. He did have a walk, and 434 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: he scored scored a run because he was ahead of 435 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper in the lineup and Harper at the home 436 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: run and that's how that went. But shut out for 437 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: the first seven innings of the game. And I was 438 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: texting a buddy of mine tourning again was that kind 439 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: of getting into it? And I was like, this is 440 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: kind of cool, you know, somewhat seemed like an important game. 441 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: I'm not fully in on it, but I kind of 442 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: dig it, and I was like it, Dwarto Rodriguez, this 443 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: guy sucks. What is going on? And I thought maybe 444 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: I confused him with someone else. I was like, I 445 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: must have gotten him wrong. There must be some other 446 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: picture who's a left hander and like him, who's actually bad, 447 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: and he's good. And I know I went back the 448 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: last two years, Dward Rodriguez had an ERA of over five, 449 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: and well, that would be trash. That would be trash. 450 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: And then screwed the whole thing up, going out there 451 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: and shutting down the USA lineup, and he went four 452 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: and a third inning. Scrooge part of the younger demo, 453 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 1: But give it a couple of years, he'll be part 454 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: of the older demo. He says. Unpopular opinion. I would 455 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: think about trading Aaron Judge after this season. If the 456 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: Yankees don't win the title, Judge won't be getting better 457 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: as he's at this peak age. He'll be collecting checks 458 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: every year while he'll be a main reason they drown 459 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Yeah, I don't see that happening. And 460 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: here's why school at look at the Dodgers. I said, 461 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: I'll die on this mountain. The Dodgers, if they had 462 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 1: gotten rid of Kershaw years earlier, it would have won 463 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: at least two more, if not three, World Series. Now, 464 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: I know the twenty seventeen thing. The Astros were cheating, 465 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: so you gotta throw that one out of There were 466 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: other opportunities there, and the Dodgers kept going back to 467 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw thinking, which we all know is the definition 468 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: of inay sanity, thinking that something was going to change, 469 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: thinking that something was going to be different, and it 470 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: never was. It never ever was. And Aaron Judge is 471 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: going to turn thirty four years old in late April, 472 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: which is not old unless you're an athlete.

Jay Scoop says, we recently had the prime 528 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: time Bennies. How come no one ever talks about the 529 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: daytime Bennies. It's a good point. I did do a 530 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: daytime show, Jay Scoop, back in the day, and it's 531 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: a long time ago. I've been doing nights for a 532 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: long stretch of Supermarket Steve a Yankee apologist, Yankee apologists, 533 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: Supermarket Steve right Since says, once Aaron Judge said that 534 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic championship game was going to be 535 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: more important than the World Series game. We should have 536 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: just put the USA down for a loss. He would 537 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: have found a way to f it up and sure enough, 538 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: there you go, Well put it on and take it off. 539 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: I saw Kyle Schwarbert of the Fighting Phills and Potters 540 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: with Mason Miller, who were among there were a bunch 541 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: of players. Of these are the two that I saw 542 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: that were given the silver medal by rob Manfraud, the 543 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: Commissioner of Baseball, and they took it off. Miller took 544 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: it off immediately, and then Schwarber took his off a 545 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: little bit after he got kind of close to the dugout. 546 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: And this is like the thing you're supposed to do 547 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: if you don't win the thing. It's like in the Olympics, 548 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: you get the silver. Nobody wants that. He's just stop 549 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: giving that out while I just trying. Again, they're trying 550 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: to make it like the Olympics, and they're trying to 551 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: did anyone watch the pre am I the only one 552 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: that watched the pregame show on Fox, the pageantry, the 553 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: over the top. I literally almost puked in my mouth. 554 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: On the pregame, A Rod was wearing knee pads. He 555 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: said Aaron Judz was going to hit two home runs. 556 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: Then I think he said Schwarber was going to hit 557 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: two home runs. So you just he just say whatever. 558 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: A Rod was on. He was really enjoying himself. And 559 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: at least on the they had all these like it's 560 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: very patriotic, I know, they're obviously trying to lean into this. 561 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: I get it. It's not the Olympics. They're trying to 562 00:32:53,840 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: make it the Olympics, and uh just felt contrived, choreographed, forced, 563 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: all that stuff. It was. It was awkward, it was 564 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: it was a tough watch for me. Now, that was 565 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: not designed for me. That was designed for you. That 566 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: was designed for people that don't really like sports and 567 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: baseball and just want to get wrapped up in the 568 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: flag and all that. And that's what that was. Uh, 569 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: that's that's what that event was for. So and and 570 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: the guys, all the the baseball players for Team USA 571 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: showed up. They were wearing hockey jerseys from the Olympic, 572 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: same jerseys the Olympic hockey guys were wearing, which would 573 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: have been great had they won. It's at embarrassing and 574 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: you caught there they they were all bragging them. But 575 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I got there.
