<v Speaker 3>I love baseball.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I coach baseball, I coach softball. I am a monster

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>fan of the game. It's the best game.

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 3>It's uh listen. I feel like football is the most

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 3>fun to watch.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 2>That might be my number one sport like everyone else,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 2>But if you grew up playing baseball, you just have

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>this love and passion for the game. I think baseball

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 2>is just a beautiful sport. Everything about it, everything, every

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>little thing about how they magically worked it out one

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred plus years ago, that a ground ball to shortstop,

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>if played cleanly, you're out by a step, like the measurements.

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Everything about baseball is freaking perfect, perfecto.

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Even though they're taking away the Kazon this year and

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna have to be like, was that a strike.

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have to go back to like the old

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>timey time, you can have to go back to the

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty tens when there was no Kazon.

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 3>But Tony Clark's in the news, and this is no way.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 3>This is not good news.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Because the baseball season that's coming up, you better embrace it,

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>you better love it, because I don't feel good about

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 2>where things go from here. The equity to enrich themselves

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 2>is that someone in the way of saying he stole money.

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's only part of the story.

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is sort of a juicy story, and much

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 2>like a juicy heine, as we already mentioned, people love

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a juicy story. Yeah, and Tony Clark, who was a

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 2>great player in Detroit, speaking of Detroit sports, played for

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 2>my Yankees. Yeah, hit a ground rule double that could

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 2>have prevented the whole two thousand and four the bacle

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 2>with the Red Sox grew out of Beard in retirement,

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>became the head of the MLBPA. He's the head of

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 2>the MLB Players Union and he's resigning now. For me,

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a two part crazy story because he got his

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>sister in law hired.

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 3>A few years ago, like three years ago.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Turns out he's having relations with her, took her to

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 2>a Bangladesh. That's a no no on multiple levels. Right,

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>that's the whole company inc thing and scandalous. And it's

0:05:55.560 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 2>his wife's sister. Like whoa hey, slow down, Tony Clark.

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>And now he's under federal investigation because they used licensing

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 2>money and equity for themselves, so allegedly allegedly his wife's sister.

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and so that's what I'm saying.

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, he's scamming money, yeah, a little allegedly, little

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 2>oral and then you know the old BJ Sirhoff was

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 2>in full effect, little bj Upton. You know he was

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>doing all sorts of shenanigans behind the scenes. Gett a

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 2>little sticky, icky icky.

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 3>What's worse?

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 2>By the way, when when you said sister in law

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 2>would have been worse if it was his brother's wife

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 2>or his wife's sister, why I didn't need to know?

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Is there a worse facts here? Let's see, wife, they're

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>both bad. If you're so bad, let's play it that,

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>let's speak. I was trying to figure out what was worse.

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there is a worse one, all right,

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 2>let's play there is, actually there is.

0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 5>There is.

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 2>If you were to sleep with your beautiful girlfriend Jordan's

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 2>sister or your brother Tommy's girlfriend, my brother Tommy's girlfriend,

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 2>that'll be worse because that's my brother.

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 3>You're betraying your brother.

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 2>You can't betray your brother. You can't betray your brother

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>like that. And I'm not saying betraying your wife is

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 2>even is better, but it is. It's a little worth

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 2>less worse. You're betraying your wife in both cases, yeah,

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>but in this case, you betraying your wife and your brother.

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>See the difference. One is betraying your wife and brother.

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 2>One's betraying just your wife. So I guess he took

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 2>the lesser of the two evils because he was with

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>his wife's sister.

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 3>That he got higher. He deserves a pat on the back.

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 5>What a great guy.

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 2>That's so shady, dude, Like, you can't be pulling favors

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>for your uh, sexual pleasures or something.

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 3>So he got his wife's sister hired in the MLB.

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 2>She was part of the MLB Players Association, apparently having relations.

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 2>And that's scandalous enough. And then when you hear the

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>rest of the story, you're like, oh, Well, the phrasing

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I saw was equity to enrich themselves insinuates allegedly some

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 2>type of money grab correc Sam, whuld you say that

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>siphoning of sorts equity to enrich themselves sounds like some.

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Legal skimming off the top? Yeah, little money here, little

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 3>money there.

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 7>By the way, guys, and infidelity leads to home wrecking,

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 7>but it also leads to getting into your work.

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 5>It's also it's work wrecking as well.

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Home and work wrecking a reminder to uh, don't dip

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 3>your pen and company, inc.

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.559
<v Speaker 5>That you know not.

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Everything's like an sleazy eighties comedy where you know you

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 2>your proper up on the photocopy here, there's no sanctuary anymore.

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Don't do it. It's not worth it.

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I say, don't proper up on the photo like

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 2>it looked fun in some eighties movie that you saw.

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 3>But it's not worth it.

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 2>By the way, how many times has that been a

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 2>plot line in like a stupid show or someone took

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>if someone took a success someone took.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 3>A copy of Budgets. No, it's not worth it. I

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:13.679
<v Speaker 3>don't care how hot she is.

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>And you know what, ninety percent of the time I'm

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>just making this thatt up ninety percent of the time.

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>According to this guy that you heard on the radio,

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 2>it's what we call relative proximity hot.

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 3>What does that mean? She's not that hot. You're risking

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 3>your career and reputation on a person.

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 2>This goes both ways. This isn't towards the ladies. Ladies,

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.839
<v Speaker 2>this goes towards the men too. They're relative proximity hot.

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>They're hot for the office. They're just hot for the office,

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and outside of the office they're not even that hot,

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 2>and you're risking it all. And listen, MLB doesn't need

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>this headline, doesn't need this story. Things are good. I

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 2>can't say, listen, if there's money skimming, then I don't

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 2>feel bad for him.

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 3>But the relationship part, by.

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Goodness, this how many men, and you can say women,

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:08.439
<v Speaker 2>but how many men have have let their pursuit of

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.319
<v Speaker 2>boutet bring them down?

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Bring them down?

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Politics, sports, entertainment, family members, friends.

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 3>How many people do you know, really.

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Let let's be honest ask get in the way of

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>their whole life as like we are just you know,

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 2>there's something just so stupidly primal about guys.

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes it's like I got life like this is a

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>guy stupid. This guy had life by the nuts. Tony Clark,

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 3>he did.

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>He was a professional athlete that was successful. And it's

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 2>how easy to make that transition from l to head

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.719
<v Speaker 2>of the MLBPA. Respected good guy, but you've seen it

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 2>with politicians and athletes and important people. By the way,

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years in the league. He had a great career.

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 2>How many home runs you think Tony Clark had over

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 2>or under three hundred?

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say two forty seven?

0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 6>Wow?

0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Really, yeah, I don't know. I have the number five

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 3>to my head. You're close to fifty one.

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Have you noticed I have like some odd knack for

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 2>these little guests the game. I mean, you got that

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.319
<v Speaker 2>giant head at least his field with something. Because I

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 2>was like no, But when you said tony clock, I'm like,

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:12.839
<v Speaker 2>probably about three hundred, but not quite.

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, yeah, do you all right?

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll push on a spot again since you like this

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 2>game so much?

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Was his career high?

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 5>Performed this on Mondays on our afternoon show one.

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 3>I know how many career high home runs?

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 3>We have like twenty eight thirty four? Okay, yeah, I

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 3>mean you're in.

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.839
<v Speaker 2>The ball and he had like two seventy two the

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 2>years career, Yeah, close to sixty two.

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yeah, but he was a solid solid in Detroit.

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 3>He was a he was a force. Again.

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 2>He grew out that rip van Winkle beard and became

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 2>a big dog in the MLB.

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 3>So, I mean he had a great reputation. That's what

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 3>really stinks.

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 2>It not I'm not making excuses for dudes at all

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 2>or women. It's just it really is wild to think

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 2>how many people.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Really let what's in their pants control their brain? What's

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 3>in your pants? Let me come on pulling up our

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 3>feedback on the into chat right now.

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, if anything from this story is you

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.079
<v Speaker 2>got to keep your fingers crossed for the MLB. The

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 2>timing's bad. Let's you gotta remind yourself that, Yeah, I

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>get it. That dude in the office, or that woman

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.559
<v Speaker 2>who's strutting her little business booty down the hallway, Yes

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 2>she looks great and all, but it's not worth it.

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Get a grip Arrowsmith style, Get a grip and focus

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 2>on I don't know, work. Aren't you supposed to be working?

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not worth it, guys. Now, let's talk about the

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.199
<v Speaker 2>real ramifications of baseball because this doesn't only affect the

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>livelihood and personal life of Tony Clark. This guy, you know,

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>made some mistakes. We're all human, so I'm not going

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 2>to come down too hot on the sky. But wife's sister, man,

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, Luise MLB, this guy's horned up.

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 3>My goodness.

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the other thing. There's so many people out there.

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 2>You had to go at your not only someone you

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 2>work with, someone in your family. Dude, calm down, relax.

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Formal CBA negotiations are expected to begin in the spring.

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 2>If no new deal, shout out to FDR on President's

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Day week. If there's no new deal, If there's no

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>new deal reached by December first, my dad's birthday.

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 3>What's up Dad?

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Of twenty twenty six after the season, so we are

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>safe for one full baseball season.

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 3>But if there's no agreement reached.

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 2>By December first, I'm sure people know, but we could

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:50.959
<v Speaker 2>be looking at a lockout, a shutdown, and a possible

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>delay of the twenty twenty seventh season. And here's the big,

0:13:54.840 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 2>like elephant in the room, salary cap. Not one in

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball or any sport for that matter, wants

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 2>a salary cap. Salary cap just means players that are

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna get Pryce Harper definitely doesn't want. Yeah, remember he

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>told the commissioner and get the f out of the

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.199
<v Speaker 2>locker room, and like tell you, I think he gave

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 2>the throats. I think he gave the commissioner a wedgie.

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 2>He said, don't even think about it. But no player

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 2>wants salary caps. Flapped him because you're what you really

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 2>want is the most money possible. There's a narrative going

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>around that this kid gets sticky icky because no player

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 2>in the Union is gonna want a salary cap. And

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 2>they're saying, every owner except maybe three or four teams.

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 2>You took Dodgers, he took a thirty teats and who

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>else they're saying, maybe twenty five Danny of the thirty teams,

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees, I know, they're being a little stingy. So

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees, they're saying, are back and forth, like the

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Yankees will spend, but they wouldn't be opposed to a

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 2>salary cap.

0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 3>So who's the third team.

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>It's like the Dodgers Mets, and they're saying Steve Cohen

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 2>just yesterday was like, you know, Dodgers, I could spend too.

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 5>I know, I don't think the Blue Jays would be

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 5>down with.

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Is that the thirteen they're saying the Phillies might be

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 2>open to spend. But Danny, even Steve Cohen historically as

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 2>a Mets fan, I know this, He's gone back and

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 2>forth on Listen.

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm willing to spend.

0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 2>But just because I'm a billionaire doesn't mean I have

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 2>like an open wallet and it's just endless, like I'll

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 2>spend when and how I can to make my team

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 2>try to win. Yeah, So the timing of this is

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 2>bad for baseball because if you got Tony Clark resigning

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 2>like that doesn't help anything, doesn't help negotiations here.

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 3>What's what's the solution here?

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Since Tony Tony Gonzalez, since Tony Clark is out the mix,

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 2>what do you think happens this year? Do you think

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately with baseball poppin O, Tawny Judge Soto, Bobby Witt Junior,

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 2>all these young stars of the game, the schemes and

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 2>all the way you just named without even thinking about it. Yeah,

0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>the top four hitters projected in the World Baseball Classic

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 2>this year.

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 5>Look at that.

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm on the pulse.

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Those are the top four hitters, not in the correct order,

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>but you just named them without even knowing it like that.

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to throw the fifth out there just

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 2>to see you're right? So I said, all right, you said,

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 2>you said Judge, Shohy Witch Junior and Sodo the fifth.

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Who's the fifth top hitter in the WBC in twenty

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty six next month?

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 3>That's a great question. I'll give you a hint. He

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 3>plays for ten USA no Usay, no, I know Mike

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Tratt's not playing.

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 5>You got this.

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 3>We talked about him all year. We talked about him

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 3>all year. Yeah, you got this.

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 2>It just proves how forgettable he is. National League, American League,

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 2>American League. I'm not putting you on a spot because

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>when you when I tell you, you're like, all hold on,

0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 2>it proves to you.

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Gunderson, No, I don't know, you know what.

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 5>I do want the projected to talk about him? You

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 5>want to?

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about if we have time today.

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 2>If not, you got to check us at our regular

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 2>time five to seven on the East tomorrow.

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Don't tell me.

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, I could top the top hitter rankings for

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the WBC came out.

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 3>I could take thirty seconds.

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:20.159
<v Speaker 5>To figure this out.

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I named all I named the top four, all right,

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Wood Jr. Soto and then I'm sure the top

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>two are Judge and Otani. You pick your poison.

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got.

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I got an issue with how they ordered him. So

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:31.399
<v Speaker 2>if we have time, I want to talk about it.

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 2>If not tomorrow, Yeah, who's the fifth Judge? O'tani? I

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 2>said he plays for Team USA Soto with junior Team

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 2>USAM USA stacked. By the way, And if you're not

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 2>pumped about the WBC, then you must not have watched

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the last one because Japan won and ended with sho

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Hey striking out Mike Trout just as a reminder that

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 2>it was so dope. I know it's not my boy,

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Polar Bear Pete on the on the Orioles, Now you're

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna hate yourself, come on Rich again. That he proves

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 2>how oh how ridiculous our conversations were last year, George Springer,

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 2>No I tour conversations.

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 5>You're back and forth. You're arguing on the air.

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 3>We thought about it for like months.

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 5>You took one side, but you were genuine about it.

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 5>But you were on the other side.

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 3>When he proves he's not in the conversation.

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:23.400
<v Speaker 2>There.

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.640
<v Speaker 5>It is your debate about that which.

0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Proves, yeah, he had a great season last year, but

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 3>was he really the MVP? Can I tell you no,

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.120
<v Speaker 3>it's so far off my radar. That's man, I'm sorry,

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 3>great hitter. They have him ranked fifth.

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Our year end special. Your guys' argument about that made

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:41.440
<v Speaker 4>that special.

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 2>According to the WBC hitting rankings, not player rankings, hitter rankings,

0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 2>he's fifth. And I'm not going to debate that guy

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 2>hits bombs?

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you guys think that?

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, in twenty twenty seven, we're going to see a

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>delay to the baseball season.

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 3>You think they'll you think.

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 2>That's that's I guess the core of this, even though

0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 2>people want to talk about the scandalous part of it,

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 2>well the scandal, the scandal's part makes you realize that

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.359
<v Speaker 2>without Tony Clark, who's a big cog in this, in

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 2>this machine, he he's.

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.879
<v Speaker 3>The rep right danergy, he's like the main dude.

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 2>So now and when the union and the players talk

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.959
<v Speaker 2>to the owners, which is supposed to these negotiations are

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 2>supposed to start, like I don't like now almost did

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.879
<v Speaker 2>you say a big conquer hog? Would you say, why

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 2>did they do interview the sister lull. I mean he's

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>walking around like it. Okay, I just hope baseball much

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.680
<v Speaker 2>like the I was saying. You're a WNBA guy because

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.639
<v Speaker 2>you're a Kitlin Clark fan. Sure you don't think it's

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.239
<v Speaker 2>counterproductive if they don't get things figured out, like when

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 2>does that?

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.359
<v Speaker 3>When does that supposed to start? Oh, it definitely puts

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 3>a dark cloud, overcast cloud over.

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not trying to be the most counterproductive thing

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 2>for the momentum that baseball has right now, just like

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the WNBA, like w n B A and I and

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I hate. I'm again, I'm not trying to be mean.

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 2>If the w NBA stops playing, I feel like no

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 2>is ever gonna watch it again.

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:02.000
<v Speaker 3>It might be the end of the league.

0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Because in my mind, it's like I mean, in my

0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 2>in my mind like we were just starting to come

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>around to it. It's like w NBA is hot, We're

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 2>finally people get it, trying to sign network deals, doing everything.

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 2>If the w NBA stops playing, do you think people

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 2>are gonna go people stopped watching baseball during the strike

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 2>in ninety four, you think they're gonna go back to

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:21.639
<v Speaker 2>the w NBA.

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 3>Get out of town.

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Man, I feel bad for the expos fans, that was

0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 2>their season. I feel bad for the WNBA if they

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:32.680
<v Speaker 2>don't think. I feel good for is Paul on Ill

0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 2>because he ended up with a batting title.

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't even count.

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 5>It does count.

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Ninety four?

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think Tony Wasn't it Tony Gwynn that could

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:45.680
<v Speaker 2>have batted four hundred and ninety four because he was

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.159
<v Speaker 2>he was real hot around that time. Coulda should have,

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:50.639
<v Speaker 2>would have. You don't want to deal with that kind

0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.879
<v Speaker 2>of headache again because of the timing of this Tony

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Clark resignation. I just I just hope baseball figures it out.

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 2>But what say you, buddies? Do you think you think

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 2>baseball comes to some type of conclusion. It's almost like

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Danny And by the way, doesn't it also remind you

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 2>not only are people a bunch of hornbags, right man?

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 2>That a bunch of horned Like he's apparently allegedly under

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 2>federal investigation because they use licensing money and equity money

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:22.120
<v Speaker 2>for themselves. Like people are just scamming off I said

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.120
<v Speaker 2>line for their own power. Name is Steven Sagall movie.

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Did Tony Clark think he's above the laws? And now

0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:27.879
<v Speaker 2>he's under siege.

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Aren't killed.

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just like you can't trust anybody, man, man, you

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 2>think you think you know, you think you know someone.

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I do think it would be so counterproductive. Do you think,

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 2>because they're so far apart guys, that we as fans

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 2>would be delusional to think there's an easy resolution. If

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 2>every player on Planet Earth is like, yeah, no, sellar

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.920
<v Speaker 2>cap yep, ninety percent of the owners are like, no,

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 2>we should probably do some type of cap.

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 3>I think everyone thinks there should be a floor.

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:59.119
<v Speaker 2>It becomes a debate, Danny g of you know our teams,

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 2>like the Dodgers ruining the game or are they just

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 2>better at business?

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:02.679
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 2>So it's just a matter of how you look at it.

0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 2>And I am one of those guys that says, Yo,

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:07.959
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are just better at business.

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. And I'll give

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 4>Collins some credit for this. I heard him talking about

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 4>it a couple of weeks ago, and I looked at

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 4>the numbers for myself.

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:17.400
<v Speaker 5>This is what makes it complicated.

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.679
<v Speaker 4>The Dodgers earned around seven hundred and fifty million dollars

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 4>last year. They spent seventy five percent of that profit

0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 4>on their roster. The Yankees round the same amount of

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.639
<v Speaker 4>earning seven hundred and thirty million for the season, they

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.879
<v Speaker 4>spent around forty eight percent going into for their roster.

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, they're going into this next season exactly. You

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:41.119
<v Speaker 4>can't you can't tell owners exactly what to do with

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 4>their money. But a lot of this comes down to

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.840
<v Speaker 4>who's really invested in putting that money back into their business, back.

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Into their team.

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, what sho heeo Tani did for the Dodgers

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:54.120
<v Speaker 2>also helped them greatly, right, gave them a lot more

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 2>to play with.

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Props to them. I'm not one of those guys hating

0:22:58.320 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 3>on that.

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I think they figure out of loophole that works, and

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 2>they're doing great business. They're not playing by different rules,

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 2>so that makes it fair, That makes it even an

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 2>even playing field. They're talking about a bunch of rich guys,

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 2>billionaire owners. Now feeling sorry, Now, can I give you

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:17.920
<v Speaker 2>like the basic breakdown for people that guess, let's be honest.

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel like a lot of times with negotiation and

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>contract stuff, whether it be free agency, arbitration, all these things,

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel like a lot of fans just like, yeah,

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 2>I understand it, but deep down inside.

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 3>You're like, do I really understand that? Give us a

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 3>cliff Notes.

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 2>By the way, how many times did you use cliff notes?

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Cliff bailed me out so many times throughout life. I'm

<v Speaker 2>said that nice, Sorry, Cliff. How does revshare work in baseball?

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:18.600

<v Speaker 2>Share for dummies, guys. MLB does not have a heart

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 2>salary cap. Instead, it uses revshare and the competitive balance tax,

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 2>which they call the luxury tax.

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:03.760
<v Speaker 2>you the heads up. It's called Mike's. I just almost forgot.

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I was like, who runs this place again?

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:05.480
<v Speaker 5>Mike?

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Mike?

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:08.600
<v Speaker 2>That's right, never heard of him, Mike, who runs his place?

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 2>He walks around like he knows some stuff, and he

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 2>does for everything.

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:14.360

<v Speaker 2>Sometimes he'll slap you in the head. He runs this place,

0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and he has wisdom, so he shares that wisdom with you.

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Mike's Wednesday Words of wisdom. And if you could repeat

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 2>it word for word, that's all you gotta do. Repeat

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:29.959
<v Speaker 2>it word for word, make it really difficult, verbatim as

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:33.920
<v Speaker 2>they say, you win a prize, pack some mini nerve,

0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Football's koozies, the whole deal, all right, it's simple. The

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 2>numbers eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. So we

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 2>got lots to get to. But you promised Cliff's notes, Yeah,

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I said, I would give you the the one minute

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:49.200
<v Speaker 2>rundown of where the big discrepancy with salary cap, salary floor,

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 2>baseball players and baseball owners, and where all this is

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>going to lead to with or without Tony Clark. And

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 2>now without Tony Clark, who, as we said, is the

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 2>big story on a slow spot. That's what we're having

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:02.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun talking about other stuff. The big

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 2>story is Tony Clark having an affair with his sister

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:10.360
<v Speaker 2>in law, perhaps skimming money, allegedly equity to enrich themselves.

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 2>To me, sounds like taking money, right, That's right? I mean, yes,

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 2>that's just the fancy way of saying it.

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 5>I guess.

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 2>So while Rich prepares his cliffs notes to catch you up,

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I own to remind you that we're laughing the Fox

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Sports Radio studio and for over forty years, ty Iraq

0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:25.679
<v Speaker 2>has been helping customers find the right tires for how,

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 2>what and where they drive, ship fast and free back

0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 2>by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 2>mobile tire installation tire Iraq tyraq dot Comy tire buying

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 2>should be okay, remember when you were in school and

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 2>they're like, all right, who read chapter four last night,

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, oh, no, don't.

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Call on me, don't call on me. But I was,

0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, no, speak angly.

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I was always ready with my cliffs notes. So let

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 2>me give you the breakdown quick. Here's what's happening December one,

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty six. Between now and then, the players, owners,

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 2>everyone needs to come to an agreement of how baseball

0:28:58.560 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 2>will proceed in twenty twenty seven.

0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 3>We could see a work stoppage, a strike, holdout, a lockout.

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 2>And the unfortunate part of that is we've seen it

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 2>before in ninety four, and momentum is on baseball's side.

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Baseball has been great in the past few years, so

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 2>this would be really bad timing.

0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately.

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 2>How many people back then said, you know what left

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 2>a bad taste in my mouth, and it took them

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 2>forever to come back to baseball. And you could argue

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 2>in the last decade those people are back. You know,

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 2>fool me once, can't get fooled again. Don't do this again, baseball.

0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 2>We saw what happened in ninety four. A lot of

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 2>people are like, f baseball greed money, These guys are rich.

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:44.680
<v Speaker 2>No one wants to see an NBA an NFL, AN, MLB, NHL.

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 2>No one wants to see a professional lockout because the

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 2>perception with fans is that these guys.

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Are rich, stop at play.

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 2>And what makes it worse again is the Tony Clark

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 2>resignation and the controversy surrounding him. So here's where the

0:29:57.640 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 2>big discrepancy happens. When you look forward in baseball, people

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 2>love to say, oh, the Dodgers and teams like that,

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 2>the Mets, Yankees, Phillies, the Blue Jays now are ruining baseball?

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Are they ruining baseball by spending so much money and

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 2>not allowing teams like the Pirates and you know, the

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 2>A's and the Royals to compete.

0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 3>Here's the thing. There's no salary cap. Again, I'm giving

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 3>you cliff notes. This is for the casual. I don't

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:26.240
<v Speaker 3>get it.

0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 2>There's no salary cap, meaning, unlike basketball and football, one

0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:33.160
<v Speaker 2>team could spend the bazillion dollars on their payroll and

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 2>some other team could spend ten million dollars. There's no limit,

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.000
<v Speaker 2>there's no ceiling, there's no basement. Well, what happened if

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 2>like a Turkey Ali chic wanted to get involved in baseball?

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I've thought about that with college. What putting that out there? No,

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:49.760
<v Speaker 3>because think about it, that would be yeah, that would

0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 3>be the problem.

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 3>It would take another guy to be like, Okay, I

0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 3>buy millions.

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I've heard people speculate what if what if some rich

0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:01.520
<v Speaker 2>guy with an endless cash supplayer Sam forget pros.

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 3>What if he took the weakest ass college of all time?

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 2>It was like anil money out the ass where they

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 2>just they got every elite college athlete and all of

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:11.880
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, like some weakass school.

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 7>Buys the Iowa Hawkeyes and they win the national championship

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 7>every year.

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the issue, right, No, no cap, no basement. And

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 2>now people are saying there should be a basement and

0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 2>there should be a cap. People are now saying.

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 3>There's no basement in the Alamo and in MLB.

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so they're saying maybe there should be a minimum

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 2>team spend and a maximum team spend that is a

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:35.200
<v Speaker 2>salary cap and a salary basement. Here's the thirty second rundown.

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Forty eight percent of net local revenue is put into

0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:42.680
<v Speaker 2>a pot. So whatever deals the Dodgers have with TV

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and radio deals, ticket sales, local sponsorships, stadium revenue is

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 2>put into a pot forty eight percent of it. Forty

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:57.720
<v Speaker 2>eight percent of the Pittsburgh Pirates put in the pot, Mets, Dodgers, Cardinals, Brewers, Rays, you.

0:31:57.800 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Name the team.

0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:01.479
<v Speaker 2>Forty eight percent of the net local stuff is put

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 2>in a big pot and then divided equally by thirty.

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 2>So there are teams like the Dodgers and the Mets

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 2>and the Phillies Yankees that end up having to pay. Now,

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>if you go over the salary cap, there's even more

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 2>of a penalty because you have to pay a luxury tax,

0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 2>an additional tax. The smaller market teams will get a

0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:28.760
<v Speaker 2>check for their portion, where teams like your Yankees will

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 2>have to pay. A team like the Pirates could be like, hey,

0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 2>here's one hundred million dollars check. Yankees might have to

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 2>pay that that's not good enough because they're saying these

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 2>local deals and that's forty eight percent. They're saying it's

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 2>just not enough. Local small market teams can't compete. Now

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the luxury tax then sell the team. Luxury tax Turkey

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 2>only penalizes teams that exceed a certain payroll threshold. It

0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 2>doesn't prevent teams from spending. Now, a team like the

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers could say we'll pay show hey Otani, We'll pay

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:06.560
<v Speaker 2>show hey o Tani a billion dollars. We'll make the

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 2>money in fans around the world, in Japan, merchandise, everything,

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.960
<v Speaker 2>So they'll say, yeah, please remember he deferred his money.

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 2>He's getting two million a year, right, two million a

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 2>year for the best player in baseball. That rule applies

0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 2>to everyone in MLB. It's about getting the right player

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:28.680
<v Speaker 2>that's willing to do that for your team. They're saying

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:31.320
<v Speaker 2>small good business, saying small market teams, even if they

0:33:31.440 --> 0:33:35.160
<v Speaker 2>reach that tax line, it's a stretch. Local TV revenue

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 2>is the real divider here. Okay, here's what they're saying.

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and Yankees TV deals like the Yes Network in

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>New York or Danny g What are the Dodgers play

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 2>out on here?

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 3>What's the local spectrum?

0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 2>They're saying those TV deals are worth hundreds of millions

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 2>of dollars a year, where it's not even close for

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:58.920
<v Speaker 2>like the local Royals TV deal, So you may rev

0:33:59.040 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 2>share it and put that money in a pot, but

0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 2>it's still substantial. Teams like the Rays and Pirates are

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 2>a fractioned of that. Big market teams have an easier

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>time retaining star athletes. But again, that's good business. The

0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:14.760
<v Speaker 2>S network was owned by the Yankees Entertainment Sports Network.

0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 3>They're saying with that for.

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Net local rev and the way it's set up now

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 2>with the luxury tax for the high spending teams is

0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:28.360
<v Speaker 2>not even close to erasing the gap. They're saying, it

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 2>reduces it just a little bit. I know. The answer

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I think always is, well, if you're going to be

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 2>a billionaire and own a team, don't buy a team

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 2>if you're not willing to spend. But they're saying, it's

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:44.640
<v Speaker 2>just an uncompetitive advantage for a team like the New

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 2>York Yankees versus a team like the Pittsburgh You know what,

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and here's what happens. Let's say there is a cap,

0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 2>a salary cap in baseball. It's going to change baseball

0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:00.840
<v Speaker 2>as we know it. That's that's the crazy part about it.

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.640
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, we fear change, and you know what,

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:06.520
<v Speaker 2>life goes on and fight end up being fine. And

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, we talked about it recently. Anytime there's a.

0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Change like oh no, I'm gonna hate it.

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 2>The new iPhone update. No new iPhone update, they just

0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:16.279
<v Speaker 2>give you two more notes and then and then we

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 2>can move on. But it's fun to break this stuff

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 2>down because I think a lot of us forget why

0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:21.440
<v Speaker 2>this is even happening.

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:23.680
<v Speaker 4>Right, you brought you brought up the Pirates really quick though,

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 4>rich and you've used them as an example before. And

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 4>obviously they make one hundred of millions less than the Dodgers,

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:34.399
<v Speaker 4>the Yankees, the Mets. But guess how much approximately as

0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 4>percentage wise, they spent on their payroll last season? How

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:41.359
<v Speaker 4>much I told you Dodgers what seventy almost seventy five

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 4>percent of profits, Yankees almost forty nine percent, twenty six percent.

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:48.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's what That's what the Pirates spent on their roster.

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Damn. So so no wonder you can't keep a pulp scheme.

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:57.040
<v Speaker 4>No, it's almost like, yeah, you'd have to almost put

0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:00.919
<v Speaker 4>You can't put all your revenue, all your earnings.

0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:04.240
<v Speaker 3>But you got to put money back into your own business. Sometimes.

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Here's what they're saying, Danny though. They're saying that star

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 2>retention is harder in a small market. They're saying the

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 2>cycle of develop star compete briefly at a high level,

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:21.359
<v Speaker 2>then those big stars leave is the repeat cycle These

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:25.280
<v Speaker 2>small market teams are on plus risk tolerance. They're saying

0:36:26.400 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees or the Mets or Dodgers are a big

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 2>market team could absorb a real ass contract like if,

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:36.359
<v Speaker 2>like for the Angels, Rendon doesn't work out, no skin

0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 2>off the Angels back. They're in La California market team

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:43.120
<v Speaker 2>where if a small market team has a star bust,

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:47.320
<v Speaker 2>it could ruin that franchise for years. So what the

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:50.279
<v Speaker 2>solution is, Hey, that's above my pay grade. But these

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 2>are the reasons why baseball's in big trouble because it

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:55.760
<v Speaker 2>seems like the players are like, yeah, not our problem.

0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 2>We want to get paid and play, and the owners

0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:01.759
<v Speaker 2>are like, we want to cap, and the player like no, no, no, no, no, no,

0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 2>we want to If anything, the players want a floor,

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:09.719
<v Speaker 2>meaning like even the bunk bottom level team should have

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.800
<v Speaker 2>to spend a certain amount of money like the A's

0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 2>wasn't did there something like like Juan Soto or like

0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:20.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, Darren Judge, are certain guys were making more

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:23.160
<v Speaker 2>than the whole roster? Oh yeah of like the A's,

0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah for sure. But the problem is too the MLB

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:28.560
<v Speaker 2>should have done this like thirty years ago. They really

0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:31.240
<v Speaker 2>should have. Well, we'll see what happens. That's the issue.

0:37:31.360 --> 0:37:34.160
<v Speaker 2>That's that's your breakdown, your thoughts. We'll take your feedback. Next,

0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:35.520
<v Speaker 2>we'll have some more funn we'll talk about and if

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Tony Clark timing noo. Yeah, that not a good time

0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:41.960
<v Speaker 2>to sleep at your sister's wife's sister. There you go, right,

<v Speaker 3>You Maybe you think your.

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Face is not punchable, you're the most annoying guy or no,

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:51.839
<v Speaker 2>thanks man, You're welcome. But Danny, you like to point

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 2>out that there's a few punishable faces all sports. Now.

0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:55.919
<v Speaker 3>They could be really good dudes in real life.

0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:58.400
<v Speaker 2>So don't get but her Because I would say Nick

0:38:58.440 --> 0:39:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Sirianni and I'm like, you know what, I'd probably liked

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 2>the guy if I met him.

0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:04.840
<v Speaker 3>Punch face. I got what I call resting D face.

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 3>That is true. You do look like a guy that's

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:09.400
<v Speaker 3>a resting D face.

0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:13.160
<v Speaker 4>Some people say Lane Kiffin, Yeah. Some people say Manny Machattah.

0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:15.879
<v Speaker 2>God, you said Manny Mchatto, Danny, Not just because he's

0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:18.600
<v Speaker 2>a Padre and you're a Dodgers fan. We're talking about

0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:21.040
<v Speaker 2>the salary caps and how baseball could be, you know,

0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:24.200
<v Speaker 2>in store for a letdown after the season.

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Enjoy the twenty twenty sixth season. As Billy Madison would.

0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Say, stay here as long as you can, because you

0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 2>know we may not come up with a deal with

0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:35.880
<v Speaker 2>the players, the union and the owners because Tony Clark's

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:36.239
<v Speaker 2>out now.

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:39.840
<v Speaker 3>And he also said sun tanned lotion good for me.

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:42.320
<v Speaker 2>He did say that. He did say pro tech me

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:47.799
<v Speaker 2>also say chlorofill more like Mori Phil. Then he said

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:52.840
<v Speaker 2>shampoo is better anyway. Manny Machatta with the punchable face, Machado,

0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 2>who's a Padre. And the Padres have backed off their owner,

0:39:56.360 --> 0:40:00.960
<v Speaker 2>who I believe passed away, right, didn't Padre's own There

0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:03.520
<v Speaker 2>was like a dude run and everything. Well, they're still

0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:06.399
<v Speaker 2>in it to win it, Padre spend money. Machado says

0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 2>he is in love what the Dodgers are doing. He said,

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I f and love it. Every team should be doing it.

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 2>S is f and great for the game. I think

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:18.360
<v Speaker 2>every team has the ability to do it.

0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 3>They just don't.

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.400
<v Speaker 2>That's what I said before. It's not like the Dodgers

0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:24.680
<v Speaker 2>are playing by different rules, the same rules for everybody.

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:27.279
<v Speaker 2>So what did we learn, guys? Here's what we learned

0:40:27.360 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 2>thanks to Tony Clark. If you're going to sleep with

0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:31.719
<v Speaker 2>your wife's sister, don't do it in the middle of

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:34.080
<v Speaker 2>a big negotiation. Right, isn't that the moral of the story.

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Of course, don't sleep with your sister. I mean you're

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:40.799
<v Speaker 2>what I say last hour, Sam, he said, some gibberish,

0:40:41.360 --> 0:40:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I miss folk. Yeah, people are like I heard this

0:40:43.400 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 2>guy on the radio talking about sleeping with his sister.

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:47.400
<v Speaker 2>What not a good time to sleep with your sister's

0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 2>wife's sister. There you go, Well, don't sleep with your

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:53.320
<v Speaker 2>your wife's sister. Don't see me your sister. And we

0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 2>also learned that it's worse. Let's set your stepsister and

0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:58.880
<v Speaker 2>that's the category you like. As far as sleeping with

0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:01.600
<v Speaker 2>your sister in law, we discovered that it's worse to

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:05.759
<v Speaker 2>sleep with your brother's wife than it is your wife's sister,

0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:08.920
<v Speaker 2>because it's double betrayed. It's double the trouble. Yeah, you

0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 2>follow that you betrayed your brother and your wife. I

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 2>guess if you sleep at your wife's sister, you just

0:41:13.120 --> 0:41:18.080
<v Speaker 2>betraying your wife. If you sleep with your brother's wife,

0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 2>you're betraying your wife and your brother.

0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:22.320
<v Speaker 5>It's home wrecking, and it's work wrecking.

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:24.399
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, Tipping Company, Inc. And let's keep

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:27.000
<v Speaker 2>our fingers crossed for baseball. Yeah, let's go baseball. Love

0:41:27.040 --> 0:41:29.640
<v Speaker 2>it all right? We got more Cavino and rich In

0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:31.840
<v Speaker 2>for Dan Patrick, a true auto to fill in for

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Dan and the dan Nets.

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:35.719
<v Speaker 3>We got prizes to give away. Next hour. We'll do

0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:39.480
<v Speaker 3>midweek major. Lots of fun. Love hanging with you, guys,

0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Cavino and rich on Fox Sports Radio.
