And the 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: Yankees have started to make calls to acquire a third 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: basement after deciding that Jazz Chisholm belongs at second base? 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: Are you okay with that decision by the free falling 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: New York Yankees?

It's a 35 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: beautiful day for baseball, let's play too. And I said, 36 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful night for hot sports takes. So let's 37 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: play two. Let's have a This is the second half 38 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: of a day night doubleheaded. But I'll lead this hour. 39 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: Do not mess around, no small talk on this live show. 40 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: Independence Day weekend. But our lead this hour from Cleveland, 41 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: just in time for the big holiday weekend here in 42 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: the United States. Major League Baseball facing a new scandal. 43 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: And there's one thing that I've grown to love over 44 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: my years of gas baggerie, and that is a good 45 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: scandal you can really bite into. And this is a 46 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: this is a pretty good one. It's a pretty good one. 47 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: You might say, well, no, if you don't know much 48 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: about it, you just see the headline, ask nothing, but 49 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: it's something, trust me if you haven't seen it. So 50 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: there's a team named after a bridge that used to 51 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: be called the Cleveland Indians, but they changed their name 52 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: because baseball was losing their mind a few years back. 53 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: So they're now named after a bridge. They're called the 54 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: Guardians as a Guardian Bridge in Cleveland. And there's a 55 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: pitcher named Luis Ortiz. You don't probably don't know who 56 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: that is. Louis Ortiz is the subject of a Major 57 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: League Baseball gambling investigation and he has been placed on 58 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: the naughty List, Yes, the non disciplinary leave, which is 59 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: the knotty list, but we want to say it's naughty now. 60 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: The investigation, if you were following along here, the investigation 61 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: related to in game prop bets on not one, but 62 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: two pitches made by Ortiz that for some reason, a 63 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: lot of money was bet a lot of activity, and 64 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: that raised they red flagged there were unusual amounts of 65 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: money wagered on a couple of random pitches. Now, if 66 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: you're not a gambler, you can bet on everything, right, 67 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: and yeah, exactly, and so this was going to start 68 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: in Seattle on June fifteenth, much to the dismay of 69 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: Robbie the Mariner fan. And then there was an outing 70 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: more recently June twenty seventh, So within the last last 71 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: week or so in Saint Louis. Cleveland was in Saint Louis, 72 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: so the gambling activity of those pitches was given. The 73 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: dreaded red flag was highlighted by a betting integrity firm, 74 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: that is, the group that found this, not Major League Baseball. 75 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: At outside firm they read flagged this and they contacted 76 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Baseball has said that Ortiz is on 77 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: paid leave through the end of the All Star break 78 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: and players returned to their teams July seventeenth. The games 79 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: were zoom the following day on July eighteenth, so he 80 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: can go on a nice tropical vacation and possibly never 81 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: come back. Now, that can be extended and if you 82 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: don't believe me, asked Trevor Bauer. It can be extended 83 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: if the investigation remains ongoing. So it's one of those 84 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: saying no, we don't find anything. You know, we'll keep 85 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: holding this guy back. So let us discuss the question 86 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 1: for the esteem panel, which you are part of. What 87 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: intrigues you most about the guardians, Pitcher, Luis orties, gambling 88 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: drama exactly. So I've got Flamingo, Craigslist and jigsaw puzzle 89 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 90 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: we are going to wrap ourselves in the flag, is 91 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: what we're going to do, because that's what you got 92 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: to do kind of fourth July weekn you wrap yourself 93 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: in flight. So a listen, this story has all the ingredients, 94 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: all the ingredients of a modern day sports scandal stew 95 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: because you've got a no name pitcher, couple of random 96 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: sliders and I'm not talking about these kind that you 97 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: eat that and these sliders they missed the plate. I 98 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: think they were in the next zip code over. They 99 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: were at least a zip code away from where they 100 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: needed to be. And you've got a betting integrity firm 101 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: that is like a basset hound and they're sniffing around. 102 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: They're sniffing right, and they're there. They're the bloodhound and 103 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: a barbecue. And so we're talking about a pitcher that 104 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: you could not pick out of a police lineup. If 105 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: I said, hey, can you pick the one that is 106 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: the pitcher? And this guy was the only one wearing 107 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: a baseball uniform and a glove, you still wouldn't pick 108 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: him out of the police lineup. So on both of 109 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: the pitches, and of course the Internet finds this stuff 110 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: right away, and for our blind listeners, both of the 111 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: pitches that were red flagged by Major League Baseball or 112 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: the outside firm that went to Major League Baseball. The 113 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: pitcher Luis Ortiz opened the inning with a slide that, 114 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: to quote the Great Lake Tommy Lesorta, would not have 115 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: hit water if it fell out of a bleeping boat. 116 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: All right. When a roster spam pitcher suddenly becomes the 117 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: darling of the prop bet underworld, there are alarm bells 118 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: that start ringing rightw just it sounds like that, and 119 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: it stands out when you have a picture that it 120 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: much like the guy in the Toronto Raptors that was 121 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: suspended from the NBA for gambling and all that. Johntay Porter, 122 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I believe the guys, and I don't even kneo he was, 123 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: so nobody knows who Luis Ortiz is, and all of 124 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: a sudden people have bet a lot of money on 125 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: a pitcher of the third inning. That that that's nothing 126 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: that stands out like a flamingo in a flock of pigeons. 127 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: Of flamingo in a flock of pigeons. Right now, As 128 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: for the non disciplinary paid lead, that is corporate jargon. 129 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Let me use my mallor Rosetta stone to translate. That 130 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: is Major League Baseball's way of saying, we don't want 131 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: to admit yet that he did it, but we also 132 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: don't want him anywhere near a Major League Baseball clubhouse 133 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: and certainly not a mound, because we do not want 134 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: to deal with the pete rose in disguise when we 135 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: find that out. Now, when Major League Baseball got into it, 136 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: and I like gambling, I've done a last couple of years, 137 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: I've done a TV show about gambling. When Major League 138 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: Baseball got into bed with the gambling industry, got a 139 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: lot of money, right, did they think that the sheets 140 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: were going to stay clean. No, you know this is 141 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: not the first, it will not be the last. A 142 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball will continue to be. The word I 143 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: will use is be deviled. That's the word I will 144 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: use by the gambling gods, and they get the checks 145 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: and from the very industry that I just love the 146 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: fact that for my entire childhood, baseball treated gambling like 147 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: it was a deadly disease. It was a virus. And 148 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: now every pitch, every swing. In fact, if the right 149 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: fielder of the Atlanta Braves sneezes on a one o'clock 150 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: start on a Saturday afternoon, you can bet on it. 151 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: If it happens between the third and the sixth inning, 152 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: you can bet on that. It's all potential wagers. And 153 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: if you can bet on it, you can. I'll guarantee 154 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: you know this. You can manipulate it. Right, If you 155 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: can bet on it, you can manipulate it. It's not paranoia, 156 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: it's math, is what it is. All right. Now, turning 157 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: the page on that, we go to Los Angeles, where 158 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: the Dodgers completed the sweep of Marquee Marks Chicago White Sox, 159 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: Like that was a shocker, Dodgers lost Max Munsey. Now, 160 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: I was doing the day portion of the day night doubleheader. 161 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: We didn't know how long months he would be out. 162 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: We still don't really know the Dodger third basement Max Munsey. 163 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: They're saying, now he's out for not one, not two, 164 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: not three, not four, not five, How about six weeks? 165 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: Six weeks? Max Monthsey's out there calling it a bone bruise, 166 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: not a tear, not a tear, not a fracture, not 167 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: a fracture, a bruise. A Bruce Now looked watching the replay, which, 168 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: for reasons beyond me, was not shown on the local 169 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: LA Dodger broadcast. Bat job by them, But it looked 170 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: like the Max Monsey knee had been hit by a 171 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: pickup truck that was driven by Michael Taylor of the 172 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox who slid in the third base. It 173 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: was a kind of a play that you would see 174 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: maybe in like nineteen seventy seven. You don't normally see 175 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: it today. And the knee bent like you might imagine 176 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: a folding chair after you've had too many hot dogs 177 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: and burgers at a Fourth of July barbecue. We'll wait 178 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: on you and snap and then down goes the chair. 179 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: So how do you How did the Dodgers navigate How 180 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: did the Dodgers navigate things without Max Mounsey in the lineup. 181 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: So the obvious thing is you start out by saying, well, well, 182 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: next man up, right, you go, well, next man up. 183 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: You know that's the way it's got to work, and 184 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: all this stuff, and you do your job, all those 185 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: things that we've said for years. But the regular season, 186 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: you know the Dodgers, you figure they'll patch it together. 187 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: They've got some time here the grueling adventure marathon. But 188 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: this is an absolute gut punch, mostly because Max Munsey 189 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: no longer sucks. He flipped the switch. He he was 190 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: terrible for the first month of the season. Max months 191 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: he batted one eighty four with one home run. I 192 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: would have released him if I ran the Dodgers. And 193 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: then he had this magic moment. He had this magic 194 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: epiphany and it's called bifocals. Yes, who knew. So since 195 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: months he put on glasses, he has been seeing the 196 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: ball like Neo in the matrix. Last fifty games, he 197 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: has been as hot as the sidewalks out there in 198 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: pomp Springs at batting average, twelve home runs and a 199 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: nine to seventy four ops, which the nerds get all 200 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: horny about. And so now in the meantime, the Dodgers 201 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: in the short term are gonna have Miguel Rojas and 202 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: Key k Hernandez, who's only good in the playoffs, trying 203 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: to hold down the fort. And so it's it's not 204 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: really a platoon's that's like an ad you posted on 205 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: Craigslist that really you messed it up. You know, wanted 206 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: one hot corner savior, bring your own glove and bring 207 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: your own cleats and all that, and there you go. 208 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: So Rojas and Hernandez who have the same amount of 209 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: pop as a wet sponge, but they will be playing there. 210 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: And this is in many ways the Dodgers' annual summer tradition. 211 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: If you look at the calendar of the Dodgers in 212 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: this era, they spend a lot of money, they get 213 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: the biggest names they can get every offseason. That happens 214 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: in December and January, and then in the spring in 215 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: March and in April it's snap, crackle pop. But then 216 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: right around Midsummer, a key position player normally goes down 217 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: for the count. So it's not the fourth of July 218 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: weekend until another prominent player is on what used to 219 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: be called the disabled list for the Dodgers, and then 220 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: you have Dave Roberts saying we're optimistic. I think I've 221 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: heard Dave Roberts say we're optimistic about injured players more 222 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: than i've heard him say I like him in that spot. 223 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: So there you go, all right, last word, quickly, panic 224 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: in the Bronx. The Bronx is burning. So we're hearing 225 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: the Yankees. The Yankees have figured out, they've had a 226 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: great epiphany and they've realized they need to start calling 227 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: teams to try to make a trade. They do not 228 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: have a third basement, because some would argue they don't 229 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: have a shortstop either. They have decided that Jazz Chisholm 230 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: good name, a lot of rasthma taz, pretty mediocre player, 231 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: they decide, though, he belongs at second base. So are 232 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: you okay with that? The Dodgers or the Yankees rather 233 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: have decided they're gonna move Jazz chism to uh the 234 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: second base and then back to second base. He's not 235 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: a third baseman, so obviously don't have any skin in 236 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: the game. But but sometimes the as as my friend 237 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: Uncle Moe, who used to live in Brooklyn but now 238 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: lives in Jersey, would tell you the jigsaw puzzle pieces 239 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: just don't fit, and you can't force them to. You 240 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: can't do it right now. Jazz as a third baseman, 241 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: square peg forced into a round hole. It's kind of 242 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: like if you go out car shopping and you buy 243 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: yourself a ferrari and then you use it as a snowplow. 244 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: That's not what it's for. It's a waste of a fara. 245 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying this is a Ferrari by any means, 246 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: but Jazz is much better at second than third. So 247 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: this is a it is a correction, it's ad meeting. Hey, 248 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: we screwed up, and so now with this decision, they go, 249 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: all right, bam, let's kick it up a couple of 250 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: notches at the at the trade deadline. So is that 251 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: Nolan Aeronado from Saint Louis, Like, who are they gonna get? 252 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: It's not exactly rocket science here, it's it's simply baseball. 253 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: There's only so many third basemen that are obviously available, 254 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: so you just try not to screw it up. So 255 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: stay tuned. Developing hot dot dot dot all right. It 256 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahlor Show.

And now 315 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: back to it, right back to what we go. I 316 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: got an email from Danny in New Hampshire who writes 317 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: and he says, what the hell happened to that miserable bastard? 318 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: Angry Bill haven't heard from him in a while. Yeah, 319 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, Danny. As much as you 320 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: think these guys are all paid actors on the show 321 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: and I'm their mother or something like that, I don't know. 322 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: Bill was a daily caller to the talk show for 323 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: a long time and then all of a sudden he stopped. 324 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: And that's fine, I mean, we're not We do the 325 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: show whether people call or not. I mean, whether the 326 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: same people call or like new people to call. I'm 327 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: guessing angry Bill just retired because he guaranteed that Aaron 328 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: Rodgers would not go to the Steelers, and that was 329 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: such a bad take that he had to just give 330 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: it up. He had to just quit calling talk radio. 331 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: And that's it. Either that or he had some kind 332 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: of medical thing. I don't know, so I don't have 333 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: the answer. Milkman Mike in Colorado writes in he says, 334 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: a happy birthday to our great nation, and thank you 335 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: for keeping us company on as all of us mile 336 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: High Milk people are rocking this morning getting our deliveries 337 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: done outstanding.

Ben, I'll never 339 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: let those disgusting carnies make a fool out of me again. Yeah, well, 340 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: we did give advice. I did the double dip and 341 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: with Fred on the afternoon show that I was doing, 342 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 1: we did go over. Fred was unaware that on the 343 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: YouTube there's a bunch of videos with ways to actually 344 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: win those Carni games, you know, the State Fair and 345 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: they have those giant stuffed animals and it's you know, 346 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: cost you like two hundred bucks to keep playing to 347 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: win one. There's some hacks that you can do because 348 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: all the games are rigged at the carnival because they 349 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: don't want you to win, but they want you to win, 350 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: but they want you to spend one hundred bucks for 351 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: a stuffy that costs about three dollars, So they're all 352 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: rigged in all that. Anyway, there's some cheat codes out there. Well, 353 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: good luck for a dog in the State Fair season 354 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: coming up, A Cowboy Killer writes in. Uh say says, 355 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: hey man, it's been a minute. I'm working in the 356 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: dreaded day shift now. Oh no, we lost Cowboy Killer 357 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: to the day shift. I missed the live show, but 358 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: no worries. I double download the podcast every day. Uh, 359 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: he says, one suggestion, no more, e Dog. That guy 360 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 1: just rambles incoherently mal or Militia for life, says Cowboy Killer. Well, 361 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: good news, E Dog has not called in a while either. 362 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: From Long Island. I've noticed, like some of these guys, 363 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: I think it depends what time of the month it is. 364 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't mean it like that, but they call in 365 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: at certain points in the month, and then that that does. 366 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: It's Steven Manhattan. There's another guy, Steven Manhattan. He'll call 367 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: up for ten days and then vanish for like the 368 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: next thirty, Eileen writes in from Parts Unknown. She says, 369 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: no one cared that show hailed was gambling with his 370 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: best friend. But now, oh no, there's gambling in baseball. 371 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: Cover your eyes, Eileen says, with an emoji. Well, yeah, 372 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: they're not gonna have Otani go down for gambling. He's 373 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: too big, too important for the sport. It's you know, 374 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: like it's like certain people get to a level and 375 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, in a hypothetical world, like a 376 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: guy like Lebron James Lebron. Maybe not so much now, 377 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: but in his prime, Lebron could have pretty much done anything, 378 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: violated any of the rules of the NBA, and they 379 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't have punished it like Theo Tani thing. And I 380 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: gonna punish Otani. He's the biggest money maker. He makes 381 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: more money for baseball than Aaron Judge or anyone else 382 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: for that matter. It's not even close with the money 383 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: coming in from Japan. Uh. Not only for the Dodgers, 384 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: but it trickles down to everyone else in Major League Baseball. 385 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: So they're not gonna do anything about that. Now. A 386 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: random pitcher on the Cleveland Guardians who you had to 387 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: look up on Baseball Reference to find out who Louis 388 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: Orties is, Now that's a different animal. That's fair game. 389 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: You got to follow the rules. You're not a big deal. 390 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: You got to follow the rules. Come on now, Benito, 391 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: the long suffering cowboy fan says, shout out to Louis 392 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: Ortiz for making me money on draft gangs. Very funny. 393 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: Eugene in Chicago says, while Malard working on the fourth 394 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: of July, even I took a vacation this week. There 395 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: you go, all right, Well, good for you. Job by Eugene, 396 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: who I almost met last time I was in Chicago. 397 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: I actually reached out to Eugene, said Eugene, why don't 398 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: we'll go have a beer or something like that, and 399 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: he was he works like two jobs, so he couldn't 400 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: couldn't leave the gag. A chip in the Ques says 401 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: A plus on the top of the hour of Mallond monologue, 402 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: who is really surprised that another dude with the last 403 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: name Ortiz is not following the rules. I think that's 404 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: a shot at David Ortiz, I believe, kind of obvious. 405 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: Shane in des Moines writes In says, I hope the 406 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: Leprechaun is out, not one, not two, not three, not four, 407 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: not five, how about six weeks from the show with laryngitis. Yeah, 408 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: so I'm guessing we won't hear from the Leprechaun for 409 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: a while. He was very kind when he came in here, 410 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: much to the dismay of some people in management that 411 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: were concerned that he should not be allowed in. But 412 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: he was fine. And I'm guessing because he's on the 413 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: West Coast and he's on vacation, I'm guessing he will 414 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: not be be checking in Terry and England. Who did 415 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: He's doing the day night doubleheader and he has reported 416 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: for duty. So we'd like to alert all the affiliates 417 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: down the line, Terry in England, who was very upset 418 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: that we did not unload on the daytime show on 419 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: the Enemy of Combatant. Enemy Combatant of the show, David 420 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: vass very upset by that. And one of the guys 421 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: that loves to unload on Vassie on this show, and 422 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: I am told it has gotten back to enemy of 423 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: the Mallard militia right now, David, And that's Tony in 424 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: the Bay Area, who is relentless. He is a absolute 425 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: pit bull Tony in the Bay Area when it comes 426 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: to his attacking. And let's go to him right now. 427 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: He's in the lead off chair, Tony in the Bay Area. 428 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: What's going on, Tony? 429 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 3: Welcome, hey man, Thanks for the compliment. But I want 430 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 3: to tip my hat. My bears had to furd dog 431 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 3: because the other day he brought up a good point 432 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: that if you type in David Bassay going down to 433 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 3: kitty slide on a Blanky then bounces off the wall 434 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 3: like a bag of crap and rolls around like a 435 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 3: little girl. So I forgot the blinkie and the kiddy slide. 436 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: My bad. All right, thank you, hang up on yourself there. 437 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: He goes another classic Tony call, short and sweet, leave 438 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: him wanting more, leave them wanting more. Very important, very important. 439 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: So our friend, long suffering, I say, long suffering Yankee fan, 440 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: that would be supermarket Steve, he says. Moving Jazz Chisholm 441 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: from third base to second base is Boone? Aaron Boone's 442 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: fix for the Yankees. Losing seven out of nine series 443 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: since the Dodgers series and getting swept in three of them. 444 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: Maybe my team isn't really that good. Well, it was 445 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: the June gloom and now it's spilled over into July 446 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: as the first time ever the Toronto Blue Jays all 447 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: caughtaa the Blue Jays spank the once proud Yankees in 448 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: their own ballpark there in Toronto, a domination situation as 449 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays in first place by themselves after sweeping 450 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: the New York Yankees in four games, an absolute poop 451 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: fest of Yankee baseball over the week. So bad is 452 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: it for the Yankees? Well we are on July fourth, 453 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: and the manager of the Yankees, Aaron Boone, has given 454 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees a pep talk, a win one for the 455 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: Gipper's speech. Now the Yankees are heading into a big 456 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: weekend matchup with the New York Metropolitans that will be 457 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: over in Queens and Flushing, right near LaGuardia Airport. Beautiful 458 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: LaGuardia Airport, one of the worst airports I've ever been to, 459 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: And so Aaron Boone will be, uh, we'll be leading 460 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: the Yankees in there on a quick turnaround. And according 461 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: to Jazz Chisholm, who's getting a lot of airtime here 462 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: this hour on Fox Sports Radio, he said that Aaron 463 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: Boone in his pep talk to the Yankees reminded them 464 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: that they are quote the best team in the league 465 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: and he wants them to be quote unfhased by their 466 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: recent problems. Okay, well, a couple of things. As I 467 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: was taught about ratings and radio, past accomplishments, and much 468 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: like Wall Street any kind of investments, past results do 469 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: not guarantee future outcomes. And while you can have a 470 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: Bobblehead night and you can have promotions based on what 471 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: you have done, the fact that the Yankees won the 472 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: American League pennant last year has no bearing on this 473 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: season obviously. And if I'm not mistaken, the Toronto Blue 474 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: Jays sucked last season. They were an embarrassment. And right now, 475 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: midway through the baseball season, Toronto's in first place. So 476 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: should the Blue Jays think, wow, we're not this good 477 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the American League. We 478 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: should be phased by the fact we're playing over our skis. 479 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: We're playing too well. Now. One of the other funny 480 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: storylines the battling broadcasters. So Michael Kay, who's doing double duty. 481 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: You talk about a tough job. So Michael Kay is 482 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: a Yankee broadcaster, which is an easy job because when 483 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: you're a Yankee broadcaster, you just wear knee pads and 484 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: you give shoulder massages to the Yankee players. You're a 485 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,479 Speaker 1: suck up. That's what team broadcasters are. That's what you're 486 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: supposed to do. But when your talk show hosts, you 487 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: have to be critical. It's a different skill set. When 488 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: you're a talk show host, you have to be someone 489 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: that critiques performance. So apparently Michael Ka the other day 490 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: on his he does a talk show in New York 491 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: sports talk show, obviously, and he said that he was 492 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: praising the Yankees, and even though the Yankees have had 493 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: a tough stretch, but he took some shots at the 494 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays unloaded on Toronto. They were making their 495 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: run there. He said that the first place Blue Jays 496 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: are not a first place team. Oh, body blow, body blow, 497 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: body blow. Quote? Is blue Jays not a first place team? 498 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Kay said? He went on and quote continues 499 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: for Michael Kay says, if you look at the run differential, 500 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: the Yankees run differential as plus one five. The Blue 501 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: Jays this is the other day, were at plus four. 502 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: So he said that should be a five hundred team. Yeah, okay, Unfortunately, 503 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: and I might be wrong in this. I don't know. 504 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I just do the Overnight show. I don't 505 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: think the team that wins the World Series wins it 506 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: based on run differential. I know that a lot of 507 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: hard ow baseball people worship run differential, and that's that's 508 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 1: an old school stat actually goes back much further than 509 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: the modern day spin rate and my favorite exit velocity 510 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: exit v low. Yeah, how much do you think baseball spends? 511 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: I watch I'll watch all these games I was watching. 512 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: I sally watched them with the Blue Jay Yankee game. 513 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: I was flipping around watching them a little bit of 514 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: the Mets game with the Brewers. Great, any of that game. 515 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: We love a call the Mets Brewers game by ending 516 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: on a replay call that should have been inconclusive and 517 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: the game, you know, the runner stays at second. It 518 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: was a stolen base that was they went to replay, 519 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: was called safe on the field and it should have 520 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: stayed safe. Of course baseball said, oh, the runners out, 521 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: which was ridiculous. But in all these games, anytime someone's 522 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: home run within five seconds, they've got the exit velo 523 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: up there, so baseball's paying for that. Anyway, Michael Kay 524 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: ranted about that. So one of the Blue Jay broadcasters, 525 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: somebody named Jamie Campbell, I don't know who that is, 526 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: but he works on the Blue j TV broadcast. And 527 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: then he had a broom and was very excited and 528 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: took a little shot at Michael Kay enjoying the moment. 529 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: That's friendly baseball broadcaster banter, is what that is? Friendly 530 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: baseball broadcaster banter.
