Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios where it is over in Miami.

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: Venezuela are your twenty twenty six World Baseball Classic champions,

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: beating the United States three to two. United States goes

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: down one two three in the ninth inning, all the

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: heroics of Bryce Harper's home running the bottom of the

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: eighth washed away when Whitlock, who got the loss, walks

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: the leadoff battle Luisa Riaz who comes around to score

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: after a stolen base in a double to the gap

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: by Gino Suarez, and Venezuela beats the mighty United States

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: and they take the WBC by the final of three

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: to two.

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 3: Many people are now chanting Geno Geno. Maybe it's the

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 3: year of Geno.

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it's your Geno Suarez, Geno Smith, Geno Terretta comes

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: back somehow and he's an analyst somewhere.

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 3: Well, what did I tell you? You're gonna win six

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: games because of Geno Smith and it's gonna screw you

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 3: out of the possibility of building to the future.

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the year of Geno. All right, I'm okay

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: with that. I will take a Gino Suarez game winning

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: double here at the top of the ninth inning if

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: it means Geno Smith has the kind of fall that

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: gets the Jets of the playoffs.

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: See, if I'm trying to find the positive, you can

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: go off on your little pipe dream. I'm looking at it.

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: Gino Suarez looks like all of us, or many of

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: us in America and across the globe. Oh, he's the

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: everyman batter going out for his double, and then he

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: almost got doubled off and was stumbling and bumbling around

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: the base paths. I mean that that spoke to all

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: of us in our daily lives. So there, this is

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: a game.

44
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Now there's a couple of bit because we get to

45
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge in a second, because you want to know

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: who's gonna bear the brunt of this Loss's Aaron Judge.

47
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: Two of the three runs by Venezuela score because of

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: unforced errors. Let's just say by the United States, right,

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: you had a walk by Nolan MacLean. You had a

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: wild pitch that resulted in the first sacrifice fly right,

51
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: unforced error by the United States. I really and again

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: we talked about a little bit last hour at any level,

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: the worst thing, the worst thing, and I hated it

54
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: all the level, you know, managing at the high youth level,

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: I did all the way up. Leadoff walks are just there.

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: You just want to you'd want to punch something when

57
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: when you see a leadoff walk because that's usually a run.

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you that's what Mark de Rosa wanted

59
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: to do when in the in the bottom of the

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: ninth in the top of the ninth inning, Whitlock is

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: in and Luis Arias walks on a full count pitch and.

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: You could see him. He walked.

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: He was so excited. Snow a pinch runs steal second

64
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: base because of a bad throat a second by Will Smith.

65
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: He bounces it. It's that close. If the ball is

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: there on a line, they probably get him because you

67
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: go back and look at it on review. Basically he

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: hit the bag simultaneous as the tag from terrang. So yeah,

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: if that throw is on is not bounced, that's an out.

70
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: But instead he comes around to score on the shot

71
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: to the gap by by Suarez. And that's the game,

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: and and and that's the game. And it's just stunning

73
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: to see them lose. But man, the leadoff walks, especially

74
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: in a game like this where every run is just

75
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: absolutely it's it's it's like gold. Look, you can go

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: back in Venezuela, right, Bobby Wit with a two out walk,

77
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: right to two out walk, really a two out walk,

78
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: Bobby Witt to guy and Harper hits the home run,

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: so both sides at it. But man, I'll tell you

80
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: when I saw walking the night thinning, I just said,

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: that's really really bad that Venezuela just sees the momentum

82
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: back after Bryce Harper's home run. And now you have

83
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: United States bullpen where okay, it's not like we you know,

84
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: we got tons of guys in here.

85
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: You know, we can keep rolling out and throwing too.

86
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: It's very difficult, and Witlock stays in the game a

87
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: little bit too long.

88
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: But it's not like you get.

89
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: Up one hit, right, you get one hit, but the walk,

90
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: the stolen base, this is what happens.

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: Man.

92
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: But man, those leadoff walks just make your stomach turn.

93
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: Just make your stomach turn because I knew I said

94
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: that run's coming around to score. That's coming around to score.

95
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: Drive to the gap, the double that ends up scoring

96
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: the run and creating the three to two final. I

97
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: mean for the United States squad over the course of

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: the game, I mean you didn't create enough base runners,

99
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: didn't get the put any significant pressure on. You have

100
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: three hits in the game, two of them by the

101
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: aforementioned Bryce Harper. A lot of big swings, trying to

102
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: get nine runs with one big swing instead of contact,

103
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 3: and that's look, everybody digs the long ball. And that

104
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: was the equalizer here for for Harper. But overall, I

105
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: mean in the final innings, you didn't have a lot

106
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: of hey, let's get him on, get him over, get

107
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: him in, a lot of free swinging, a lot of

108
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: ball up in the zone and not giving yourself an

109
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: opportunity to create a bigger inning or the opportunity to

110
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: at least, you know, plate the equalizer. Here in the

111
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: ninth right, Schwarber's swinging at a couple of balls out

112
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: of the zone, but for Venezuela give him credit, right,

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: and a day where it starts with another question of

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: how many of your bullpen arms are going to be available.

115
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: I'm now gonna have to listen to all my Cub

116
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: friends because Palencia comes out and closes things out. I

117
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: didn't need that. I need that at all, especially after

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 3: Antonaci has the game he did yesterday to send Italy home.

119
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: I got the Cub guys active. It's like, you see

120
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: if he can bring that to the regular No, no.

121
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: No, Now, when we look at the USA's World Baseball

122
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Classic laws, there's a lot of places you can look

123
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: at for to assign blame to, right, like the old

124
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: line from a few good men. What is Tom Cruise saying?

125
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: My dad used to always say a jury trials about

126
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: a signing, blame right, they.

127
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: Were, there's only one guy to blame here on the

128
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: night's Matt Wait wait, wait, wait, Nolan mc you're blaming

129
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: Nolan mcla.

130
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I just wanted to make sure before the guy

131
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: that's really gonna get all the blame.

132
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 5: No, the guy that's getting all the blame is Nolan mcclan.

133
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: He's not. Yea, he is, No, he's not.

134
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 5: He decided to pitch some bum that pitches for the Mets.

135
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 3: In your crazy world, gave him two runs. He's not

136
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: gonna get any of it. He's not.

137
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: That's a two to one game for USA if he

138
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: doesn't start, man, just there's no way around it.

139
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 3: You Frosburg and apology.

140
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 5: Told you last night. The second they said he was starting,

141
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 5: it was over. We're screwed.

142
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: I owe Frostburg nothing what hap Absolutely we were screwed

143
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: because the game was back to zero. The game was

144
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: back to zero after eight innings. Okay, back to zero

145
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: right there? He gave up too much.

146
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, no you can't, you can't. It's two runs. And

147
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: then they.

148
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: Decided to go full mcclan.

149
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 6: And how did it work?

150
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, that way would full judge and

151
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: see how it worked? Hey, look it's Rob Manford I

152
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: think conferring hung some metal. Yeah, Rob Manford actually shaking

153
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: hands with Bryce Harper. I don't know what was said.

154
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Blank you blank you blank you.

155
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: Thanks for giving us a chance.

156
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 5: The Mets pitchers are good narrative. Stop it now.

157
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: He gave up two runs, you said, Frostburg, this wasn't

158
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: done to you. And I don't know what you lost

159
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: on this game by betting on it, but I'm sorry.

160
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: If you did, you're wrong.

161
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 5: I was an American. It was done to me.

162
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: There wasn't active treason by Deroza.

163
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 5: Guy let his country down. He pooped in his pants.

164
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: Just take it.

165
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Wow, that's a that's a great hot take. But

166
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: that's a great hot Jeez, you're mad, Frober, little buddy.

167
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, mad, we just lost the Venezuela baseball.

168
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: I know it happened, but I'll tell you. I'll tell

169
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: you he's not gonna get the blame.

170
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: All right.

171
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: If Nolan McLain came out and gave up six runs

172
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden the United States was down

173
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: six nothing in the third inning, because you know he's

174
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: not gonna go more than four innings. Uh yeah, okay,

175
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Nolan McLain, his fault all that. But

176
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: here two runs, okay, all right, not perfect and one

177
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: of the runs, you know, well one of the runs

178
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have you know, the wild pitch was It

179
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: was a bad it was a bad thing, but they

180
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: tied the game of two. He gave up two runs,

181
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: they came back and tied it.

182
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: Right or wrong.

183
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: The guy who's gonna bear the brunt of this is

184
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, because Judge was the captain, it was his team.

185
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: It started out really awkward for him anyway in this

186
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: tournament with the speech he gave, which was really I

187
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: can't believe people went nuts about this is what not like?

188
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: The speech he gave was befo. Right before a game,

189
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: we're going out to play. It's the first time they're

190
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: all getting together. None of the guys have all met

191
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: each other.

192
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: Yag Elliott Gould gave a better speech. In Oceans. They

193
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: all get together, they're getting the blanket house.

194
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: They all get together for the first time, and Judge says, hey, listen,

195
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: if we play to our capabilities, we win. That's not

196
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: the time for a raw ros speech. But it doesn't matter.

197
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: That wasn't the optic. The optic was here's a speech

198
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: from your captain when everybody, anytime someone's giving a speech,

199
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: we look for something that's inspiring. Right, So already the

200
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: bulls eye was on Aaron Judge. Now he has hits

201
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: a home run early on great, he grabduate a double

202
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: play against a seventeen year old kid.

203
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: In high school.

204
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: Okay, but in the championship game tonight he strikes out

205
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: three times. He had two fourteen for the tournament. Aaron

206
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: Judge is gonna.

207
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: Be the guy. This was his team.

208
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: He's the one that said very vocal about this is

209
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic, this is bigger than the World Series.

210
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: He was very front and center with everything, and he

211
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: did not play well in the championship game. Harper, the

212
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: guy in front of him at the big home run,

213
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: Judge did not. He's gonna bear the brunt of all

214
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: the blame when they say this World Baseball Classic team

215
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: that lost the first thing's gonna come up is man.

216
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge was terrible. He did nothing since the first game.

217
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: He gave a bad speech. He struck out three times

218
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: in the championship game. That's all people are going to say.

219
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that how it's gonna go right. Like

220
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: Hamilton says, you don't know who lives, who dies, who

221
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: tells your story. That's how the story of the World

222
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: Baseball Class is gonna be told and Aaron Judge, right

223
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: or wrong, is gonna get the majority of the plane.

224
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: No doubt. I mean ten strikeouts as a team today.

225
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 3: You didn't draw walks, you didn't extended bats, you didn't

226
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: force pressure on onto the Venezuelan arms to create chaos.

227
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 3: And for Aaron Judge, who's still trying to come back

228
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 3: off of the World Series, gaff that will, I mean

229
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: can't be undone. I'm still waiting for the sport Flix

230
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: like card of it to be created by some of

231
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: these custom Guard creators so that you know, people can

232
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: give those out Dodger fans and then saying, well this

233
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: is bigger than the World Series, Well, well you can

234
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: get into the moment and the excitement of it and

235
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 3: buy in what what did everybody immediately respond to? It's

236
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 3: like this is how you off skew it off. You

237
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: skate and try to push past the error that you

238
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: made the World Series and then you come out in

239
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: a championship game for all the marbles and you strike

240
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: out three times. Yeah, that's that's not gonna be a

241
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: good look. You know, DeRosa got off the hook because

242
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: they extended into these games and get to the final

243
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: we could talk about lineup issues, lineup changes, talk about

244
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: the pitchers that weren't available. People are still mad school

245
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: was in uniform and came back. It's like, if you're here,

246
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: you can play. Otherwise stay away. That's one of the

247
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: other narratives. But for Aaron Judge, yeah, if you if

248
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 3: you're gonna put the C on your chest, Yeah, you're

249
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: gonna wear it if you don't come up big in

250
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: the big moments. And for the United States, that's the

251
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: one you gotta wear. I do like that they're being

252
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 3: treated like five year olds as they wait to get

253
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: their medals conferred. It's like they've literally got someone standing here. Okay,

254
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: don't go until okay, now, no high school graduation. They're

255
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 3: adults for crying out.

256
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: Loud, but I'm a little upset they're not getting their

257
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: medals and then get back in line for plushies.

258
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, if Team Canada suddenly showed up and started

259
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: throwing plushies at him since they wore the UH United

260
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 3: States your sweaters from the Olympic Hockey squad uh into

261
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: the ballpark today, I mean that would have been a

262
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 3: kind of a funny twist. Yeah, I think it would

263
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: have been. It would have been nice.

264
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: Oh now, and now it's like, hey, oh, call everybody

265
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: back from the dugout as they're getting the server medals. No,

266
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: come back out, you get your WBC plushy. Nah, it's

267
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. Here, come get it. Come come back.

268
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: Was there an official mascot of the World Baseball Classic

269
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 3: some kind of animal?

270
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 4: I'm telling you guys right now, if they give McClain

271
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: one of these medals, well they just did.

272
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: I just watch him give McLain the medal. You're lying.

273
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: They just gave it to Rob Banford putting it, put

274
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: it around his neck and then pointed to the dugout

275
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: said leave.

276
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,840

Speaker 1: percent serious.

00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 5: I would say, I'm dead serious.

280
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: You have issues, dude. They gave him one that was

281

Speaker 3: I notice how you're not.

297
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: You don't want to talk about Will Smith and his

298
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: horrendous at batsnight.

299
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 5: That wasn't the story.

300
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Second, I think pretty sure that was the story of

301
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: the ninth inning Garon Judge.

302
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 5: Bigger story than Will Smith.

303
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, okay, yeah sure. And by the way, Dino

304
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: Dino Evil just got his He didn't he didn't even

305
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: get a chance to try to wave anybody around third base.

306
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 5: Because we were screwed. After he gave up two runs,

307
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 5: we were already in the hole.

308
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: I don't know that he waived anybody around third base

309
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 3: the entire time. He didn't get a chance, man, he

310
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 3: was just had to stand there and smile.

311
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: That's an It's an easy job, man, that's an easy job. Hey,

312
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,080

388
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 9: Oh.

389
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: I thought you were going with his argument about you know,

390
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: waitresses and serving staffs because eventually folks wanted their dollar back.

391
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 5: I think what Jason's saying is he pictures me with

392
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 5: lipstick on.

393
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,240

394
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: People to kill Billy Madison.

395
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 5: Hell of a visual there, Smith. But okay, so.

396
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: We'll have more on this.

397
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi, MLB Network Inside will join us from

398
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: Miami next hour of the show to break down the

399
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: United States losing to Venezuela three to two. But before

400
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: we get into the NCAA tournament. Right, so we have

401
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: first four game going on right now, Texas and North

402
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Carolina State midway through the second half. You want sunny

403
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: side up because I'm here for sunny side up for

404
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball and the WBC. Following the United States loss, right,

405
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: this is gut This is gutting for us. We should

406
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: have beaten Venezuela like that. I thought, you know, coming off, Hey,

407
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: there's no Japan. We beat Dominican Republic. This is gonna

408
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: be easy, right. I was counting this as another here's

409
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: another big championship for the United States. I had checked

410
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: that off my box, and clearly we didn't.

411
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: You assumed everybody had gone and seen Joe bu and

412
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 3: given him his offatory rum, so suddenly the bats were

413
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: gonna wake up. May The only positive is that the

414
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: silver spot price is about eighty bucks an ounce. That's

415
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 3: about all you got coming out of this man, second place,

416
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: first loser.

417
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: I was checking it off. We're gonna win that, We're

418
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: gonna win this and we lose. Now the best part

419
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: of this, right because think about this, Baseball in general

420
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: is on a springboard right now in popularity and relevance,

421
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: the excitement level of the game, the attention of the

422
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: game is returning to levels we haven't seen in years.

423
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, let's go back, like to the late

424
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: two thousands, right, you know, go back like fifteen years.

425
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: We have not seen the excitement level, this excitement level

426
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: in baseball since the end of the Yankee dynasty. And

427
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: then we hit the the you know, the the twenty

428
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: tens where okay, baseball really took a back seat to

429
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: the NBA, and the NBA was you know, making a run.

430
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: NFL has always been number one. But now you have

431
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball making a run where people say so

432
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: many great things about the product. The product of the

433
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: NBA is and the toilet according to people you listen to,

434
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: Oh it's terrible, it's king about.

435
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

436
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, the NBA is fine, don't worry about it. But

437
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is having that moment in the last

438
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: few months, the last couple of years, with the Dodgers

439
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: becoming the new Evil Empire, sho Hail Tani doing things

440
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: we've never seen in baseball before. World Baseball Classic, seeing

443
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: and the and the and the abs and moving the tournament.

444
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: This has grabbed us. Baseball has grabbed us. The WBC

445
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: is moving on, and now we go back to this,

446
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: back to spring training. Everybody's hitting the beginning of this

447
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: season at a at a peak. I'm telling you the

448
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: the importance and and the popularity of baseball is in

449
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: a big springboard right now, and you're going to see

450
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: all sorts of record set this year when it comes

451
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: to attendance and television and money and sharing money and revenues,

452
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: you are going to see that this year baseball is

453
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: getting back to the level that it was at going

454
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: back about fifteen years. Look, you need dominant teams, right,

455
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: You need a team like the Dodgers that everybody can

456
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: want to see.

457
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: Play and root for or root against.

458
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 8: Right.

459
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: We had it with the Yankees for so long, but

460
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: they have not really been that team until the last

461
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: couple of years.

462
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 3: Right.

463
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: They had kind of a downtick after they won the

464
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: World Series back in two thousand and nine. So it's

465
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: been a bit, right, it's been a minute, but this

466
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: is now. MLB has really hit the jet stream now

467
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: and it's a great time and being a baseball fan

468
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: like you and I have been, all of us are here.

469
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, we love talking about baseball. We love baseball,

470
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: and it's really it's awesome that it's having this moment

471
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: right now where it's never going to get back to

472
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: being the true national pass time. It's never going to

473
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: catch the popularity of football, but to get back to

474
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: where it was when it was, Hey, everybody watched, everybody cared,

475
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: everybody knew the stars, everybody cared about the stars. Yeah,

476
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: it's getting back to that level right now, and I

477
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: couldn't be happy.

478
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just think going all the way back to

479
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 3: the surge the second half of the nineties, I remember

480
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: chuckling because you know my then wife, you know, she

481
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 3: was traveling internationally and she always laughed. She goes, baseball

482
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: had kind of gone into the back burner for you.

483
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: And then I go away for a few months for

484
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 3: work and for school, and you're spending a lot of

485
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: time at the Oakland, Islameda County Coliseum and thanks to

486
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: Yahoo for those free tickets and suites where I was

487
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: able to bring people and reintroduce them to the game

488
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 3: that I loved as a kid and to get back

489
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: to it right coming out of the strike and those

490
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 3: the home run chase of ninety eight Cal Ripken Junior

491
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 3: rounding the bases and the chaos there. We've got all

492
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: of that surging once again. For Major League Baseball, we'll

493
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: talk and Steve had some of the numbers off of

494
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 3: the World Baseball Classic and the big television ratings that

495
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 3: you had in the the weekend and coming into this

496
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 3: week we talk about the top viewership markets. This is

497
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: a graphic that came out from from Fox Sports pr

498
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: from the Pool Play in Kansas City, Philadelphia, Saint Louis,

499
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 3: San Diego, and Milwaukee were the five biggest television markets

500
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: for the Pool Play and those numbers really amped up.

501
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 3: And now for Major League Baseball, yes, it's a nice

502
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 3: springboard going into the regular season. And it's good to

503
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: have that unifying villain that is the Dodgers right now,

504
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: right heroes to some villains to other that that's good

505
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: for the game. Hopefully they don't screw this up, right

506
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: the inevitability of a work stoppage and whatever else, you're

507
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: gonna have people going through the turnstiles. We've seen it

508
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: in spring training. We've certainly seen it here. As to

509
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: a man, You've got Venezuelan team with tears coming down

510
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: their eyes after winning this and what it means to him.

511
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: So yeah, hopefully as a collective, both sides recognize the

512
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: money that's on the table and they don't kill the

513
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 3: golden goose that they have right now, the interest in

514
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 3: the game being as high as it is, the money

515
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 3: flowing in from all of these streaming partners and corporate

516
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 3: partners that had come on board. You've got everything laying

517
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,239
Speaker 3: at your feet right now. Don't screw it up.

518
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.

519
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: This story kind of goes hand in hand with the

520
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: World Baseball class. It was just look, just a couple

521
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we watch United States win the gold medal

522
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: in hockey at the Olympics and Jack Hughes with the

523
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: big goal in overtime to win it, and look, that's

524
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: a moment that Look, it's gonna be the best moment

525
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: of the year in sports.

526
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: The rest i don't care what happened. It's gonna be

527
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: the moment of the year.

528
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: And he did an interview today with ESPN in which

529
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: he said, Hey, I want my puck. I want the

530
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: puck that I scored the game winning goal to win

531
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: the gold medal. I want that. That's my puck. And

532
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: there was a very big story after the game was over.

533
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: He didn't know where it was. Nobody knew. And I

534
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: can't believe in this day and age, when you know,

535
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: with memorabilia being such a big deal. Hey, whoever scores

536
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: a goal here, this puck is gonna be worth a

537
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: lot of money. Whether it's doesn't matter if it's Connor

538
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: McDavid or Jack Hughes, makes no difference. Right, this puck

539
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: is worth and you know you gotta make sure you

540
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: grab it. No coach grabbed it, no player grabbed it.

541
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: Nobody thought for a second, oh, hey let me go

542
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: grab this for Jack Hughes, Right, because that's normally what you.

543
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 3: I need not have Nate the Great's equivalent on the

544
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: of the kitt squad, Right, the equipment guy, whoever at

545
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: the end of the bench, that is your job.

546
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: You go find it. I wonder it's not the wonder

547
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: kind anymore. No, kin, it's not kid, it's kins can

548
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: Uh so he wants it back.

549
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 3: Now.

550
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: We knew very shortly after that somehow the International Hockey

551
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame got it and they have it on display.

552
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: They have Megan Keller's puck on this play big deal. Hey,

553
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: we're celebrating hockey now. To hear Jack Q say again today,

554
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: I want my puck. I don't want it for me.

555
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: I want to give it to my dad. My Dad's

556
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: got all stuff for the three of us. You know,

557
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: the three Hughes brothers, all playing in the NHL, and

558
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: I and I want my puck.

559
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: Now.

560
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: When I say something stinks about this, I don't mean

561
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: something stinks to the effect that, well, hey, Jack Hughes

562
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: is being screwed in this situation. When I say something

563
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: stinks about this, It's just never seemed right that all

564
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden nobody knew where the puck was, no

565
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: one said anything, and all of a sudden the Hockey

566
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: Hall of Fames, Oh no, we got it. Wait wait,

567
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: how did you how did you get it? How'd you

568
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: get the fuck? No, we got it, We got it.

569
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: It's on display right here. Oh oh, Okay, you just

570
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: you just got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got it.

571
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: I mean how the Hall of Fame just has it

572
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: and suddenly it's put on display already. It kind of

573
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: feels underhanded a little bit. Whoa, I need some explanation

574
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: on it, because it like doesn't seem right that suddenly, hey,

575
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: here's the pucket. Ya oh, it's gone and I took

576
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: it and it's now going to the Hall of Fame.

577
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 3: Oh okay.

578
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: Like if somebody hits a game winning home run in

579
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: the baseball Playoffs in the NLCS ALCS World Series and

580
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: a fan gets the ball or it bounces somewhere, does

581
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame get it? No, they don't. Now,

582
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame does not get that puck. Somehow,

583
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: somebody is at that ball, somebody picks it up, somebody

584
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: gives it to the right person on the team, and

585
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: they get it to the player who hit it. Whatever

586
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: it is, but somehow the Hall of Fame got it.

587
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: Like now, I'm thinking somebody went on the ice and

588
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: grabbed it like in gred and and didn't and didn't

589
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: and did it like in a very Oh I didn't

590
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: know you were looking for this kind of way, Like Hey,

591
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: we can go get that puck and we can have

592
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: it and put it on display.

593
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 3: It's a big deal for us.

594
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: It just feels kind of underhanded that the way this

595
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: was done, Like I would almost like to see them

596
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: explain it and offer it back to Jack Hughes and

597
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: maybe they can have some sort of agreement where he

598
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: loans it to them for six months out of the

599
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: year or something like that, where hell, I'll give it

600
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: here for to put on display, or the year of

601
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: the Olympics, you can have it for a year and

602
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: put it on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame

603
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: something like that. Because I feel like not because not

604
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: he owns it, because he hit it. Because look if

605
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: shoey Otani hits a home run, right and you know

606
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: he winds up, you know, his fiftieth home run, the

607
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: ball was worth in the millions of dollars. Yeah, that's

608
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: the property of the person who grabs it, right, that's

609
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: how you get it. But you know not that he

610
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: says he has to give it back. But just this

611
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: goes to a fan in the crowd. This wasn't a fan.

612
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: This was the Hall of Fame that got it right.

613
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: This is like the Dodgers getting it and saying or

614
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: major League Baseball getting the ball and saying, yeah, show

615
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: and I get it back. She's going right to the

616
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. But but I kind of hit it.

617
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: It just doesn't hit the ear right. It just seems weird, like, hey,

618
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: we were opportunistic in getting this puck, and I wish

619
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: it would be a little bit more. Hey, let's work

620
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: together where Hughes can keep it, but they can keep

621
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: it on display forever long. They want to do it

622
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: some sort of thing where it looks like they're working

623
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: together and it wasn't just snatched out from uderm when

624
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: nobody was looking.

625
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: Well in the end, if someone made it clear, hey,

626
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 3: we're gonna go get this pug from Team USA, they

627
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: would have gotten the puck right while Hughes went to celebrate,

628
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: And eventually the camera did pay to them celebrating, so

629
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: we did get verification that the goal happened. But if

630
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 3: you don't go and claim it right it's on the ice,

631
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: someone's gonna do it, whether it's a member of Team Canada,

632
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: whether it's a representative of the Hall of Fame, somebody

633
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: else is gonna go grab it. If the team doesn't

634
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 3: so good on them. It ended up in the in

635
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame in Canada, so someone was wise

636
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: enough to recognize the at least the historical value of

637
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: the puck, if not the individual side of it. Right.

638
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: Whether Hughes before celebrating with his teammate probably wouldn't have

639
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: been the greatest of look if he'd gone crawling into

640
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: the net, But somebody from representing Team USA should have right,

641
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: good good on the Hall of Fame or however they

642
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: got it.

643
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 5: As long as you.

644
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: Have the prominence and you have the chain of custody

645
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: of it, so be it. But yeah, for for Jackie,

646
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: I understand he wants it. Our buddy Tim Conway Junior

647
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: over at kf I in Los Angeles, he put up

648
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: a change dot org petition to get the puck back

649
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 3: in his hands, right, and it is important for him

650
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: and I get that. But they didn't take care of

651
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: the puck. I don't think you get delay claim to

652
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: it right in all these other circumstances. If it goes

653
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: into the crowd, then yeah, you've got to come back

654
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: and figure it out. Remember when the uh the Dodgers

655
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: strong armed that guy and the woman that went into them.

656
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: That was a bad look. I want more.

657
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: But this is a bad look too. This is a

658
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: bad look that Jack Hughes is like, Hey, I kind

659
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: of like my puck. And normally the guy would get

660
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: it back or he could find a trade or something

661
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: like that if it's with a fan.

662
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 3: But the fact that the Hall of Fame took it.

663
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: And he didn't know where it was like nobody knew,

664
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: no one told him, yeah, we have the puck. Like again,

665
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: it feels like it was done underhanded. Jason, I don't

666
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: think this was handled the right way.

667
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 4: The closest Jack Hughes is coming to see that puck

668
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 4: is if he buys a ticket to the museum.

669
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: You think they're gonna make him buy a ticket, Hey,

670
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes, American Hero.
