And 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.239 we're of course going to discuss is this good or 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.560 bad for baseball? I heard they might get skeens. Just kidding, 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.760 but seriously, come on, ridiculous. 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.879 But here's the question when you say to yourself, is 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:46.320 this fair or not? I and the first guy to 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.680 tell you. In the nineties and two thousands, when people 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.760 would say the Yankees are buying championships. As much as 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.800 I hated the Yankees and I'm a Mets fan, I 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.280 never loved that narrative completely because so many of the 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.840 Yankees that were part of that dynasty, from you know 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.319 the Jeters, to the Marianna Rivera's they were, to the 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.560 Bernie Williams they were homegrown guys, so you couldn't. I 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.560 hate it when people say the Yankees bought it. They 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:11.480 did buy players. 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:16.240 There's a huge difference, and you can't compare the Evil Empires. 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.080 You really can't, because they had the. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:24.839 Core four of Posada, Jeter, Pettitt, and Mo Rivera, plus 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:29.360 Bernie O'Neil was a Yankee from ninety one or whatever. Yeah, 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.200 I know he was a red at heart, but he 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.120 was on the Yankees playing with Manningly back in the day. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.039 Like they had a lot of dudes that were there 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.399 for a long time and in the farm system and 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.319 then filled in the pieces. The Dodgers do not have 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.200 as many homegrown people, let's be real about that. But 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.800 still they're doing good business. I'm not trying to take 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.920 anything away from them. I'm just saying they're making it 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.360 really hard to beat them, still possible, but that's still 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.840 the biggest move by far. A rise to the Phillies. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.560 That's a big move because he's a coveted piece. You know, 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.040 he's a guy that gets on base. Batting average doesn't 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.120 mean a lot in today's game, but you still need 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.400 dudes to get on base, and you know, be there 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.799 on base when people are hitting home runs, so props 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.400 to them. But man, I can't believe that the Dodgers 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.560 did it again. I really can't. That's still the biggest story. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:20.760 I mean, according to Las Vegas, besides the Dodgers, your 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.480 Yankees and Dan Byer, your Brewers are number two and 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.240 number three based on what they think the odds are 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.120 for a team to win the World Series this. 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.320 Year's It's been quite the weekend of the narratives, especially 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.400 with Milwaukee losing out on Schooble and now they just 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.799 lost out on Clay Holmes. They would get Dustin May 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.680 earlier today in a deal with the with the Cardinals. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.120 But yeah, there are a lot of angles on the 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.320 school thing. Just as like a Brewers fan. The Brewers 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.560 were swept by the Dodgers last year in the NLCS, 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.760 and I almost think it was more important that they 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.480 kept schoobl off of the Dodgers than maybe even acquiring 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:58.720 him themselves. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.840 It's like in football, if you could keep a guy 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.079 out of your division, sometimes you even care if he's 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.480 on your team. You just get him out of my division, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.400 and now you're gonna have to see him again and 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:09.320 he's on the team. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:10.919 That's already the team to beat. 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.440 But on the flip side to that, yeah, keep him 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.600 off the team. But even if he was on the Brewers, 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.200 that would have been a big time difference maker him 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:19.960 and the mizz would have. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.320 Been tough to beat in the playoffs. 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.000 So yeah, it's really tough to see that dude on 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.440 the Dodgers. But I think it puts a bigger target 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.040 on the Dodgers' back, makes you want to beat them 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.880 even more, It makes you want to root against them. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.079 But does say now more so about what's going to 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.320 have to happen in the offseason and hopefully baseball doesn't 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.320 strike and you know, but we know what we see 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.080 coming down down the road not rich, because you know 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.560 it is good business. You can't be mad at the 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.000 Dodgers for being good at business and making it count 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.840 and making those moves and striking while they're hot and 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.240 keeping that streak going. They're going for three in a row. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.000 You got to commend them. We all wish our teams 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.800 were that aggressive, right. You got to remember that entice. 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.880 You gotta remember when you when you get upset about 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.680 these things. I want to remind myself, am I jealous 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.280 or am I mad? At something legit and. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.839 A little of both. It's okay. I'm a little yeah, 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.680 you know, I look at Danny g I look at 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:10.400 your Dodgers. Danny. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:11.680 Just the other night I called you and I'm like, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.280 you have a little jealous He sent me a video 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.400 of Edwin Diaz walking in I'm like, you. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.320 Don't even care about him. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:17.839 He was the only thing the Mets cheered about, the 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.760 little timmy trumpet's entrance. And now like Edwin Diaz is 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.200 just like another star your team has, Like that's not 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:24.680 even like. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.120 There are some question marks. So I know that Dodger 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.840 haters are out in full force, but look at how 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.560 they just got swept by the Red Sox. And the 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.559 reason it is because their second half of their starting 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.440 pitching rotation right now is pretty horrible. You still got 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.560 Glass now out injured, and Blake Snell has not seen 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.159 the mound similar to last year how he was out 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.240 injured for most of the season. O Tawny has not 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.520 been on the mound either because of that knee injury. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.320 So yeah, he's been batting, but he's no longer pitching 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.640 right now. So that was the reason why we speculated 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.320 last week that the Dodgers would pull the trigger with 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:57.640 some of those prospects they have. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.320 I look at it this way, though, you know, question 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.040 is it bad for baseball? And your thoughts as teams 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.599 make these money moves? Trade Deadline Monday eight seven, seven 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.960 ninety nine on Fox. Why did we watch Floyd Mayweather fights? 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.240 Right? To watch him lose? 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.279 Of course, Dodger fans are gonna root hard, But doesn't 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.760 it make you want to root against the Dodgers that 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.640 much more? Don't you want to tune in to watch 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.160 the Dodgers lose? Are you enticed to see somebody? They've 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.719 crossed the Dodgers, They've crossed the line? What is that 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.600 a old Is it a Batman thing? 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:28.400 Or I don't know. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.120 I'm not a superhero guy, but like you, you live 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.279 long enough, you go from hero to villain? Sure or 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.960 something like that. Sorry I wasn't I didn't go see 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.240 Spider around this weekend. But no, there's a sense of 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:41.400 the Dodgers. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.640 Of riches and a hero guy. He's more like a 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.520 mister Bean guy. I think mister Bean said that Rich fool. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.240 Me once, shame on me. I won't get fooled again. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:53.520 Guys fool me watch shame on, shame on, you can't 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:54.200 get fooled again. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:54.960 That's what it was. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.000 But but the reality is they've stuck around long enough 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.479 as a hero that essentially, you know, they have to 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:02.400 pull a Hollywood Hogan. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.400 They're the bad guy now. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.640 And when you go through all the stars on their team, 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.719 I did see the meme like everyone else did, floating 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.279 around and Danny, you hit. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:09.600 Me up with it. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.440 So it's made the rounds when you look at the 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.800 stars on this team. Mookie Betts traded because the Red 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.920 Sox didn't want to give him an extension. The Braves 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:24.200 chose Matt Olsen as their future over Freddy Freeman. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.880 And dropped the ball in those negotiations. 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.120 The Angels, remember Freddy Freeman was crying about that he 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.760 didn't want to go anywhere. Yeah, the Angels really didn't 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.120 handle Otani, couldn't build a winner around him, even though. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.280 They tried and got nothing in return. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.279 And the Yankees had every shot at Yamamoto, but insisted 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.320 on Garrett Cole being their ace. They paid more and 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.479 Yamamoto went to the Dodgers. The Yankees had a chance there. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:54.760 Ardi Moreno, Yeah, he vetoed that Pajez trade. Remember the 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.400 Rays didn't want to pay Glass. Now the Cardinals gave 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:04.240 up on Tommy Edmond. The A's just reassigned maximun See, 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.120 I haven't done with you and the Tigers. Remember the 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.520 arbitration deal was the biggest gap of money between the 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.320 player and the team. Like maybe they were, yeah, we're 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.720 gonna give you a ninety two dollars. That'll be what 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.120 a Sam's clip, that'll be a ninety two dollars. 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.320 Oh, that'll be four dollars. 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.640 Cry about it, and a lot of people are no, man, 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.120 good luck, enjoy the rest of the season because there's 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.400 not gonna be one next year. Or you could just 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.920 root harder and hope that someone in the NL even 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:35.239 stops from from. 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:36.600 Making the World Series. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.520 Man, it's not impossible, like dany g said, it's not 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.040 an automatic, dude, it's not. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.240 People were upset over Kyle Tucker and he's been tracked 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.080 maybe the Dodgers worst. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.840 Can I tell you Kyle Tucker, it's gone so on 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.600 to the radar because they're just still the best team 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.040 in baseball record wise, But Kyle Tucker that has not 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:57.680 worked out. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.040 Also struggling in the outfield. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.440 Ye, what's up? I would. 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.960 I would also just say two things. Number one, the 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.600 Dodgers were two outs from losing the World Series last year, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.000 you know, like they they wouldn't have been a back 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.960 to back if the Blue Jays could shut it down 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.200 in the in the ninth inning. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.520 And the wet they were up and down foot they 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.120 were a Will Smith, right, a Will Smith heeled down 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:16.480 on the plate. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.920 I remember how dominant you Savage was, Yeah, last year 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.040 against them, So it's not impossible. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.040 No, but I'll play. 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.239 I'll play devil's advocate to the list that Rich read 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.320 off is the alternative for all of those players. The 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:36.160 Dodgers are options and a lot of teams aren't. So yeah, 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.079 the Red Sox, it's the Red Sox fault for not 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.360 wanting to extend Mookie Bets. Not every other team is 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.120 in on Mookie Bets and bringing him in there. The 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.160 Dodgers are in all those conversations now that bait maybe 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.160 you know inherently because they're in LA or the Dodgers. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.520 And I feel like the o Tani signing here, there 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.040 really wasn't anywhere else that he could go. I thought 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.880 that really made a fit outside of the Dodgers, And 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.400 I think others felt that way, but I wouldn't say 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.400 that the people who would like point to that list 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.600 as saying, well, you know my you know my team. 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.920 The Brewers wouldn't have been in on every one of 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.400 those players, even though they were in on schoobl And 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.040 I think that's what some people have problems with. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:16.280 I think you're absolutely right. 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.600 You being jealous, I think is the most honest thing 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.240 about anything, because I think people try to craft their 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.160 own arguments on why they should be right when the 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.280 realization is, yeah, just sometimes just sucks to trust. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.800 Me to be in the spot tampire. 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.040 In the late nineties, I was a high school kid 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.480 as a Mets fan when the Yankees were winning every year. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.960 I like, I even then knew deep down inside, I'm like, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:46.440 I'm just jealous. I'm jealous is everything from the glory. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.840 I saw my Yankee fan friends having in the three 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.840 Pete and Jeter and winning, and. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:51.840 We used to joke that, like. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:54.959 You would even go to Yankee Stadium maybe like good 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.040 looking women everywhere you go to you know, city Field, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.679 there was a bunch of like like moms or Long Island, 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.560 Like it was like everything about the Yankees was awesome. 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.439 And I remember being like, man, deep down inside, I'm 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:05.400 just Joe's. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.560 You know what, rich, That's fine, like Dan Barr said, 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.600 if we could at least honestly admit that. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.920 But you know what, there is something we said though 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.680 that if you are a free agent, and I guess 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.760 that's just what are you gonna do? Los Angeles is 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.160 an appealing place to live. We all moved out here. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.040 Everyone here. It's not like school. Bol volunteered to go. 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.840 I was in tears but saying how much he's going 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.280 to miss his teammates in Detroit. And by the way, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.400 Detroit gave up nothing for the dude. But is there 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.360 a sentiment behind the scenes that which also makes me 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.160 want to barf again? 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.559 Was there some agent talk in that schoobl would likely 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.320 want to sign with the Dodgers, so everyone else looked 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:48.880 at it as a potential rental? 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:50.880 Yeah, yeah, I'm sure of it. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.679 You know, it's like if if the Dodgers know, hey, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.319 if it goes well, school is going to stay here, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.440 this would be where he'd want to be versus well, 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:58.120 that's the way. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.439 It's part of this conversation. Covino is what is it 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:04.200 nine million dollars? So literally any other MLB team could 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.520 have afforded that as well. They didn't want to give 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.080 up those prospects the way the Dodgers did just for 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:10.640 a rental. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.680 Yeah, everybody's hanging on tight to the to the nobody's 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.160 who rarely pan out. Like Michael Li says, a lockout 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.480 is likely to happen anyway, So might as well get 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.480 school ball on your way out the door and get 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.000 another get a three peete in there, so you know 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.400 there's a there's a decent chance that might happen regardless 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:30.040 of these moves. 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.920 But the end sentence isn't just these teams didn't want 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.800 to give up the prospects for schoob Ball. It's also 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.800 none of these teams are going to be in on 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.880 school ball and then the off season. Yeah, and that's 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.080 like the other issue. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.920 When Schooba wants, you know, eighty million dollars a year 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.280 for eight years or whatever, You're right, the. 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:50.840 Rais and Brewers aren't going to be in on him 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:51.880 in the off season. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:52.920 Here's a question. 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.760 I mean, it's above our pay grade, but how does 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.760 Major League Baseball solve this and really try to prevent 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.200 some terrible holdout strike? And no one plays and because 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.960 that it seems like everyone says it's inevitable, you know, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:09.360 enjoy it now, will is it? Is it simply a 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.280 salary cap, floor and ceiling. A lot of the players 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.480 are saying, no ceiling. They don't want a salary cap. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.920 Is it a substantial luxury tax where these teams could 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.880 spend but the taxes are going to be astronomical where 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.240 it does make it less appealing for these big market 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:26.199 teams to spend the money. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.280 I don't know, Like you're also gonna have to balance 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.800 out your international players and what's enticing to them, because 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.680 Dodgers have a clear example, not only geographically, like beautiful 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.680 weather that entices people in beautiful place. They're closer to 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.880 Japan with a superstar named show Hey there that everybody 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.920 wants to play with. So, like, are you going to 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:49.079 put some sort of some restrictions there as far as 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.840 who can go where and how many international Japanese players you're. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.480 Allowed to get? I'm a break. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.520 I'm all about capitalism and you know, make your money, 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.560 you know, but there's got to be some type of 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:03.280 sharing there because there's no way that longer term these 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.640 small teams. Well, like you said, they won't even be 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.960 in on guys like this unless something changes. 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.520 Yeah, I and you can't expect you can't bank on Dan. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.760 You're very lucky that your team has great chemistry and 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.640 somehow has run such a way where even without the 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.040 big star names the Brewers. That's why the Mets though 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.480 they had something with Sterns because he came from your guys. 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.440 But yeah, how do you how do you expect some 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.960 of these teams to really compete? Like our buddy Mauser 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.880 who lives in Cincinnati, he takes his kid to the 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:29.520 Reds games. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.080 They were a wild card last. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.080 Year, you know, for because the Mets are so bad 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.080 that they won a wildcard eighty three wins. How do 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.480 you expect the Reds to compete nowadays? 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:40.359 Going to Cincinnati. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.320 Yeah, there's almost like a guy like Ellie day La 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.040 Cruz isn't in the back of mind, like, well, it's 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:47.360 a countdown till he's somewhere else. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.720 That was, you know, the Cavino started off the show 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.880 and talking and that was the joke with schemes dating 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.440 back to when he made his debut. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:54.880 Right, I went to, oh, it's a. 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.720 Pirate until until when can be a Yankee? The countdown. Yeah. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.280 And by the way, the Dodgers weren't the team used 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.600 in those jokes. It was always the Yankees, right, you know, 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.280 so it has changed recently. 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:06.079 How do you feel, Cavi? 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.640 You know you're not the hottest girl in the club anymore. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.880 I think it's a big epiphany that we're all coming to. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.880 I think there's a huge sense of envy and jealousy 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:16.880 when it comes to them being the hot girl. But 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.719 as long as we acknowledge it, yeah, you know, and 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.760 the players don't want a salary cap. I don't know 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.240 how they're going to fix it. Like you said, Rich, 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.720 that's not our job to figure out. Our job is to, 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.280 I mean, not only root for your team, but you 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:28.560 might as well still root. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.280 For the Brewers to beat the Dodgers. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.960 I mean, there's still teams out there that could beat them, 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.440 and they might be one piece away from making that happen. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.760 I'll say just one thing, and I'll try to make 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.520 it quick. I think it's going to be impossible if 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.560 they were to go to the NFL model, and if 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.320 you went to the NFL model, I don't know if 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.560 that's good for baseball. When we look at the NBA 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.920 I think that we're off this high of the Knicks 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.360 winning and how great that was, and maybe this current 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.000 system allowed the Knicks to win this title. But I 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.440 would also make an argument that the previous winners of 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.680 the you know, last five years or so, benefited from 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.680 what the NBA is now, and I don't know if 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.560 that's necessarily good for the NBA, who also thrived on 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.600 dynasties in top teams. I think it works great for 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.840 football to have parody, but I don't know if it 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.560 works great for the NBA and for Major League Baseball 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:18.480 to have that sort of parody. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.200 And by the way, great stuff, dB Dan byer Is 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.600 Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio get to your phone 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.760 calls eight seven to seven ninety nine on Fox. Is 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.120 it safe to say that no one's cleared house, cleaned 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.920 house more than Rich's Mets? You got Luke Weaver on 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.680 the Pirates, right, you got Clay Holmes to Chicago. It's 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.040 like they're just they're just getting rid of every pretty 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.880 Peralta to the race, Peralta to the race. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.280 Are they the team that Tyrone Taylor Tyrone Taylor to 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.680 the Cubs. It seems that way, right, It seems like 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.840 the Mets had a lot of pieces that could benefit 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.320 other teams. So some some of our Clay Holmes man, 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.680 he's he could be dangerous in the right situation. Clay 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.400 Holmes has been the former Yankee now former Met. Clay 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.800 Holmes has been a very reliable middle of the rotation guy. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.800 And as you know, he formerly was a great guy 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.160 out of the bullpen. So Clay Holmes is a great pickup. 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:12.120 So Yank's just accorded Elie Ramos from the San Francisco Giants, 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:13.440 So adding a bat to the. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.560 Nice Can I tell you it's checking his stats? 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:16.760 Right? 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.560 Yeah? It's such a dude. 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.120 It's such a mind f when your team is on 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.280 the bad side of the trade deadline, because then you're 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.920 even thinking about football more, right, Like if your baseball 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.040 if you love all your sports, you know, relatively equally 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:32.520 if your baseball. 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:33.480 Team is in it, Danny g. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.520 As much as you're pumped about the Raiders trade deadline 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.440 and school ball and everything, your Dodgers are doing, like 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.120 you're locked in Yo, you're on the right side of 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.520 the trade deadline. When you're on the weak ass side 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.560 of the trade deadline. It's like you told us last week. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.400 This is what you wanted. I said, you'd rather they 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.160 fall in their face. I rather the Mets win sixty 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.440 something games, would be so bad that they just have to, 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.200 you know, kick the Eskimno used to do when he 0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:59.600 was losing a Nintendo game. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.280 Kick the restart button with your toe. 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.239 I'd rather the Mets kick the restart button with their 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.280 toe and just figure out a new, a new, fresh start. 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:08.360 But they've trip. 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.120 Over, trip over the power cord by accident. Oh sorry, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:12.800 I guess we're gonna have to restart. 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.639 But uh, ellie o. Ramos by the way, two sixty 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:17.280 four with. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.280 Nine home runs this season, and yeah, I guess the 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.240 Yankees could use him, but still they need that right 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.920 handed bat. These here's what's interesting about today. There's still 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:32.159 got a there's still moves being made, of course, you know, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:33.360 so I think. 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.600
