It's not fair of the rest of baseball. 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: The Dodgers get to use an extra pitcher. How does 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: all that sound to you? I will also put the 10 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: conspiracy theory hat on. Also, why is Star Jazz Chisholm 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: taking so much heat for targeting a fifty fifty campaign? 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: Only one member of that fifty to fifty campaign. That's 13 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: show hey Otani, but he's got big plans for the 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: Yankees this year.

Sure me and we're 37 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: back at it again this hour, talking bays Bawl, talking 38 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: bays ball. So I laid this hour from the Grapefruit League. 39 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: I'm not going to start out with the sow recap 40 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: conversation and all that. No, no, no pivot. I'll get 41 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: to that eventually. I'll get to that. 42 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about that. 43 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: It just relaxed. So I go to spring training camp 44 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: in Florida, where the Atlanta Braves are said to be 45 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: one of the teams lurking in the shadows, bird dogging 46 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 2: the Dodgers in the National League. And if the Dodgers 47 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: were to stumble that the Atlanta Braves would be the team. 48 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: Of course, they've had some major injuries already their pitching staff. 49 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: But former Braves pitcher and current Atlanta broadcaster CJ. 50 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: And Ninkowski pretty mediocre pitcher. 51 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 2: But CJ. Ninkowski he has decided he wants Major League 52 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 2: Baseball to change how they handle Shohyotani. 53 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: Do you see this? 54 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? And in Kowski recently went on the Socials and 55 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: went on a little bit of a rant. The Atlanta 56 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: Braves broadcasters said it is time to revisit the Otani rule. 57 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: He went on to say, why do the Dodgers get 58 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: to carry an extra pitcher when Otani is making regular 59 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: starts in the rotation. He had a question mark there. 60 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: So this led, of course to a feeding frenzy of 61 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: people who were not dog piling on CJ. Nkowski. They 62 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: were supp They're like Oh yeah, you're right, it's not fair. 63 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us 64 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: discuss the question braves broadcaster CJ. Nikowski wanting baseball to revisit, 65 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: which is really a nice way of saying, let's get 66 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: rid of this Otani rule. That's what he meant. Does 67 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: anyone disagree with that? Does anyone disagree that he wanted 68 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: to get rid of the Otani rule? So how does 69 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: that sound to you? Now, I've got the bubonic plague, 70 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 2: Professor Egan and saber tooth tiger, and we will combine 71 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: all of these things together, and we are going to 72 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: deliver the knockout blow. Boom boom, the knockout blow, just 73 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: like that. All right, So number I said, Number Yeah, okay, 74 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: the ups and downs, right, the ups and down. Now, 75 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: we did not get the memo. We did not get 76 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: the memo that CJ. Nikowski is the rules expert in 77 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. We didn't get that. I guess it happened. 78 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: I might have missed it. I might have missed it. 79 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: My heart bleeds for Atlanta that this is one of 80 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: their broadcasters and is pathetic with a capital peek. We 81 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: have not even had the first spring training game. They 82 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: begin shortly. We have not had the first spring training game, 83 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: and the Blue Crew bubonic plague, the Blue Crew boobonic plague, 84 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: is already rotting away the brains of many around Major 85 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: League Baseball. So good. I gotta tell you, some of 86 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: you know, when in my younger days, I did the 87 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: Dodger postgame show, I did the Dodger Talk, and they sucked. Okay, 88 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: and I've told this so before, but I would rant. 89 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: I was like, why can't the Dodgers be like the Yankees? 90 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: Because the Yankees at that time where they were the 91 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: dynasty and all that, and the Dodgers were a bunch 92 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: of tight wads, and I was like, why couldn't they 93 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: be like the Yanks. Well, here, I've lived long enough 94 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: and I see widespread d DS Dodger Derangement syndrome. 95 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: It's real, and the Atlanta Braves, led by. 96 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: Their broadcaster here, are suffering from it. 97 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: Is it true? Is it true that CJ. 98 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: And Nikowski is just not merely talking that he is 99 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: a messenger pigeon for the hierarchy of the Bravest franchise. 100 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: Now this is where my conspiratorial mind kicks in. I 101 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: ask the question to you. You are on the jury. 102 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,559 Speaker 2: Is it possible that Alex Anthopolis, the big shot executive there, 103 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: and the front office in Atlanta have been whispering this. 104 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: And hey, hey CJ, Yeah. 105 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: What do you want? CJ? Can you go on the 106 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: socials and toss this out? Get this thing, go and 107 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: see if we can get some support, get a grassroots 108 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: movement here to crew the Dodgers over just kind of 109 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 2: poke the Blue crew. Okay, sure, no problem, Shoe a Otani. 110 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: I might be wrong on this, but he is a 111 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: global unicorn. Baseball is a sport that has a bunch 112 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: of regional stars, and Otani has crossed the rubicon and 113 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: he's a global star. And Atlanta they're chasing the Dodger, right, 114 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: I mentioned they're bird dogging. And you look at some 115 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: of the expectations this year. The Braves, assuming they find 116 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: some starting pitching here, is supposed to be one of 117 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: the teams that are in contention of the National League. 118 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: And every team this can blow you away. Nobody else 119 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: has this take. Every team can use the Otani rule. 120 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: Every single team can use the Otani rule. Just go 121 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: out and find a guy to start. You don't have 122 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: to find a guy hit fifty home runs and start. 123 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: You can find a guy that can be a number 124 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: five starter and take the advantage, take the advantage of 125 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: having an extra player in the bullpen or whatever you 126 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: want to do with that extra roster spot. But you're 127 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: telling me you can't. You can't find anyone like Mike's 128 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: race around baseball players is almost all of them were 129 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: the top player on their little league team. 130 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: Almost all of. 131 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: Them were the top player on their high school team. 132 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: Almost all of them at one point was a pitch. 133 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: We're pitching like the eve think of these guys, well, 134 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: that's the guy's just a left fielder. 135 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: Well, in high school. 136 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: He started every game and won every game. 137 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: You know, he went a lightweight. They were lightweights. 138 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 2: And then what you do is you pigeonhole these guys 139 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: and you say, well, you're a hitter, you're not a pitcher, 140 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: and they'll like, well, okay, see things have changed. Things 141 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: have changed. It's really kind of it's sad for that. 142 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: I feel bad for the Braves fans, Tommy and Atlanta 143 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: and those guys soft it's the victim mentality, and that's 144 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: not the Braves. I know, where's Chief Nakahoma? Where has 145 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: Chief Knockahoma gone when he's rolling over in his grave 146 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: right now, is what he's doing. 147 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: Right. 148 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, page two we. 149 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 2: Go to the Bronx and one of the players, one 150 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: of the few players in baseball that does not give 151 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: a boring quote, plays for the New York Yankees. He's 152 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: the second baseman named Jazz Chisholm Junior. And he's just 153 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: warming up, just warming up there in the Buggey Down Brocks, 154 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: getting ready for. 155 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: The season and actually in Florida. 156 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: So Jashism is not only planning on winning the Most 157 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: Valuable Player award in the American League, he's also going 158 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: to take home the Silver Slugger and a gold Glove. 159 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: That's right, He's going to hit the trifecta. But wait, 160 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: there's more. He also believes that he has the tools 161 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: to become the second player in baseball history to hit 162 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: fifty home runs and steal fifty bases in a single season. 163 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: A Tani. We just talked about him, Showy O Tani, 164 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 2: the first and only to do it a couple of 165 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: years ago for the Doyers. There's even more. But wait, 166 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 2: there's even more. He's also talking about a ten war 167 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: that's wins above replacement season. Chisholm has never posted more 168 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: than a four point four on the war Tistic, which 169 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: the nerds absolutely love, and he's he's targeting the big 170 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: shot there. He wants, he wants the big number there, 171 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 2: and he believes that just cleaning up his defense will 172 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 2: help this all skyrocket, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 173 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: So, now, as you might imagine, when. 174 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: You tell these tall tales the show and these shaggy 175 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 2: dog stories and all that, you get roasted. So jazzh 176 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: Chisholm was getting smoked. 177 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: What are you doing, dude, You're not good. 178 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 2: He was on the All Star team. Yes, I think 179 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 2: he's in that weird area where he's a good player, 180 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: not a great player, and there's a lot of guys 181 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: like that. I don't think he's as good as like 182 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: the accolades he's gotten. He plays with the Yankees. Everything 183 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: gets elevated when you play for the for the Yankees. 184 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: It is also something that needs to be mentioned here. 185 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: He's going to be a free agent at the end 186 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: of this season. The Yankees did not decide to sign 187 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: him to a new mega contract. 188 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: That's a whole other story, a whole other story. 189 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: So the question and why, okay, why is Star Jazz 190 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 2: Chism talking, you know, talking and it taking so much heat? 191 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: Why is he taking so much hate from talking. 192 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: About targeting a fifty to fifty campaign for the New 193 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: York Yankees. So you've got the baseball purist crowd, which 194 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: somehow are still overwhelmingly out there clutching their pearls so 195 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 2: hard they're pooping diamonds. It's a while, there's diamonds in 196 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: the toilet. And yeah, and I get part of it, 197 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: like this goes against every bit of the baseball orthodoxy. 198 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: We're talking about a sport that literally had to launch 199 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: a marketing campaign titled let the Kids Play just to 200 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: convince many of the fans that it was okay to 201 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 2: flip a bat. They had to have a marketing campaign 202 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 2: say let the kids play. So a Jazz is breaking 203 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: the sacred Major League Baseball decorum. He's breaking that and 204 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: persnickety unwritten rules of the game, which have all been written. 205 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: They've all been written. But one of the big ones 206 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: is you talk softly. You don't make bold predictions and 207 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: all that stuff. Talk softly. Carry a big Louisville slugger, 208 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: Big Louisville slugger. 209 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: And now when you're name jazz, you can't do quiet. 210 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: Your name jazz, that's not real nick, but your name jazz, 211 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: you know it's a nigga jazz Chisholm Right, he's. 212 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: Got the gift of gab. 213 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 2: And when you have the gift of gab, right, Curmudgeons, 214 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 2: of course call it verbal diarrhea, but you gotta talk, 215 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: gotta let it out. Right. He's bringing NBA level bravado 216 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: jazz chism to a game run by guys who think 217 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 2: the colorful sleeve that you wear on your elbow is 218 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: a revolutionary act at baseball. And so yeah, chism, it 219 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 2: cuts both ways. It's a double edged sword because he's 220 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: putting a massive bull's eye on his back. And as 221 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: my professor taught me, Professor Egan and I went to 222 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: the University of Ghostbusters, and he taught me that you 223 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: do not cross the streams. Don't do it. You cross 224 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: the streams and you mess with the baseball gods, and 225 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: every molecule in your body, every little piece of your 226 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: body there might just explode at the speed of light. 227 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: That's it. So you gotta walk this tightrope now, regardless 228 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 2: the mallor naked truth, love it, love it mention. 229 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: This is a double edgeword. So yeah, you got a 230 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: bulls on your back. 231 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: But it's the old PT Barnum one o one PT 232 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: Barnum one o one. It's good for business. 233 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: It's good for business. 234 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: You don't care what they say as long as they 235 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: spell jazz chisholm right on the social media platforms. Right 236 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: if he's hitting those numbers. So if he goes out 237 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: and does hit some of those numbers, legend, legend. 238 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: If he goes out and does a. 239 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 2: Belly whopper jazz chism, then he's still a legend, just 240 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: in a different kind of way. The meme makers will 241 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: have a field day. They'll have a feast on that. 242 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 2: Either way, you're helping bring some buzzback, get in that 243 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: zeitgeist of baseball right now. Now, final point, Labor update. 244 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: Labor update, we go to the Baseball labor Dispute battlefield 245 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: cb A, the collective Bargaining Agreement. I was told by 246 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: program director years ago to never mention collective bargaining agreement 247 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: on the radio. I'm breaking the fourth wall here by 248 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: doing that. By doing that, so we're talking about salary cap. 249 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: So we have learned the owners. We have the outline 250 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: of what the owners want. The owners want a and 251 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: listen closely. You're never supposed to give out numbers on 252 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 2: the radio, so listen closely. The owners want the cap 253 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: floor for the first proposal to be between one hundred 254 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 2: and forty million and one hundred and sixty million for 255 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: the that's the bottom three for teams would be one 256 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: hundred and forty to one hundred and sixty million. The 257 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: ceiling would fall in the range of two hundred and 258 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: sixty million to two hundred eighty million. It would also 259 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: have to be grandfathered in for a couple of years 260 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: because teams have contracts that are over that number. Some 261 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 2: teams do. 262 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. 263 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball owners have also funded a war chest. 264 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: It's being described a war chest according to the tabloids, 265 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: and approximately seventy five million per team in a rainy 266 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: day fund. Seventy five million financial protect they've been saving 267 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: up for years, for years, preparing for this battle, for years, 268 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: buying tanks and bazoukas and drones and all that, and 269 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: so the ownership fund is said to contain a total 270 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: value if you believe what they're leaking to the media 271 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: of over two billion dollars with a capitol be two 272 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: billion dollars. So the question what is the word, right, 273 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: what is the word for Major League Baseball owners allegedly 274 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: saving up two billion for a workstoppage, So that is 275 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: a massive let's start with this. Let me get this right. 276 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: So baseball owners have stashed over the last couple years 277 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: two billion in this lockout war chest thing, and they 278 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 2: want you to believe at the same time they're broke. Okay, 279 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 2: they must really think you're dumb. They must think you 280 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: are so stupid. How do you tie your shoes? You're moron? 281 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: That's Rob Manford's baseball. You're dumb. That's not poverty, that's 282 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: that's planning ahead right pre whatever you are buying your weapons. 283 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: My word, though, is fear mongering, all right, My word 284 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: is fear mongering. 285 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: For the two billion, shock and all shocked and all. 286 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 2: What they're doing is they're using the saber toothed tiger 287 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: technique better known as saber rattling. And before they even 288 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 2: walk into the boardroom to negotiate a new agreement with 289 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: the players, the owners are saying, well, we already have 290 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: seventy five million per team, just sitting there like canned goods, 291 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: like a can of corn in the bunker. And if 292 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: you're saving that much, okay, if you're saving that much 293 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: for a work stoppage, you're planning on a hum dinger 294 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: of a work stoppage, are you not? Is that's how 295 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: I read the room. Now, for the proposed capologists out 296 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 2: there that have floated the hypothetical salary cap mentioned to 297 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 2: be grandfathered in, very generous of them at Baseball. So 298 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 2: we went and looked at some of the numbers that 299 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 2: are available, and we opened up the books, something that 300 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: Baseball will not do, by the way, they will not 301 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: open up the books. Showed players the spreadsheets because you know, 302 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: if you're starving, just prove it. And then okay, we 303 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: got a deal using malor math. Using malar math, how 304 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: many teams with the numbers they gave on the projected 305 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 2: salary floor and then salary cap. Why don't we go 306 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 2: we'll start at the ceiling, the high end. How many 307 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 2: teams are over the ceiling and would be affected and 308 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: have to you know, futs around with the salarycap. Out 309 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: of the thirty teams in baseball, how many teams are 310 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: spending over what would be the projected salary cap? The 311 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: answer four, that's it, thirteen percent. Thirteen percent. Now let 312 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: me ask you another question. Out of the thirty teams 313 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: in baseball, we've already eliminated four. We've already eliminated four 314 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: because four teams are over what would be the salary cap? 315 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: What about the floor the salary for how many teams 316 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 2: in baseball do you think are below what. 317 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: The minimum would be under this proposal? 318 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: You got a number, all right, how about fourteen out 319 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: of the thirty, So that works out to forty six 320 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: point six percent. Almost half of Major League Baseball is 321 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 2: spending less than what they're proposing, which means they could 322 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: be spending over that, but they're not. And that's not 323 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 2: just a broken system. That is a by design competitive 324 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 2: inbalance for the ages. Wake up the echoes, and so 325 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: now we are heading towards deadline theater. Deadline theater is 326 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: where we're going, and this is where nothing happens until 327 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 2: the clock hits midnight.

They baseball heavy Mallard monologue to begin 385 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: this hour. And our friend Jill, the long suffering Yankee fan, 386 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 2: I don't know how she goes on here the Yankees 387 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 2: haven't won in almost twenty years a championship, and she 388 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 2: says it's Jazz's personality. He is good in the clubhouse. 389 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: Stop it, Ben, are you yelling at me? I do 390 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: not need you yelling at me. I don't I do 391 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 2: not need that. No, So Jazz, who's been with the 392 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: Yankees now how many years? I guess two? Full years 393 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: or a year and a half, I guess because he 394 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: was traded from the Marlins in twenty twenty four. It's 395 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 2: now twenty twenty six, so that would be that would 396 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 2: be too, that would be a year and a half. 397 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: That would be a year and a half. 398 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: And I didn't say it was a bad player. 399 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 2: I just merely said that he's that weird area where 400 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 2: he's good but not as good as some people think 401 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 2: he is because of the whole New York, New York thing. 402 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 2: The Yankees makes a lot of mistakes, makes a lot 403 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,239 Speaker 2: of mistakes defensively one of the I think it was 404 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: the worst defensive second baseman in baseball last year. So 405 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 2: and he said, oh yeah, we'll get better. I hope 406 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 2: he does. And this would be a year where you 407 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 2: got to go out and get that bag of money, 408 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: convinced the Yankees to pay you a ton of money, 409 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: a ton of money. My analysis is I think I'm 410 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: spot on. If you go buy Baseball Reference, which is 411 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: pretty good, who's the comp for Jazz Chism, who would 412 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 2: be a similar player from a previous era and the 413 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 2: similar batter for the Yankees. Jazz Chism is someone that 414 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna lie if you're a Yankee fan. 415 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 2: That would be the Great Russ Davis Mariner legend. And 416 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: he also played for the Yankees. This is back to 417 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 2: the nineties, mostly with the Mariners, though the Great Russ Davis. 418 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: Another nondescript name that is compared to jazz chism would 419 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: be the Great Morgan Ensburg astro legend from back in 420 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 2: the day. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. 421 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: Who else do we have? 422 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: Page down? Neil can't close the deal? 423 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 2: Neil in Indiana says Ben I cannot listen live much anymore. 424 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: I know how much you love bumper music, but I 425 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 2: just wanted to know if you come in every hour 426 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 2: to a Metallica song. Now, the last I heard it 427 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 2: was the Benny Hill music. He also says, jazz chislm 428 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 2: has got to be one of the funniest names in 429 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 2: sports right now.

It doesn't hold water for 515 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 7: me because the bigger picture, and you know that this 516 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 7: bends the gambling houses, the whales, okay, not not not 517 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 7: not the Joe's okay, but but but the Sharks, the sharks, 518 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 7: as you will, Okay, they don't like this business.

Okay, 521 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 7: there's bigger fish here in play, right in terms of 522 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 7: this Faustian deal with the gambling houses. So everybody's making money, right, 523 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 7: But then the bigger picture for the NBA, I come 524 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 7: back to this is integrity of the game. You got 525 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 7: the Malie Beasley situation, you got these other players and 526 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 7: the prop best and of course you have Daddy Warbucks himself, 527 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 7: Steve Bomber. You're surfing the salary cap, all right, So 528 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 7: Adam Silver, I like that. You're you know, you got 529 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 7: some stuff out there. It's some messaging about how tanking 530 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 7: in the future, But for me, it's it's a half 531 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 7: measure address the bigger pictures in the room, like David 532 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 7: Stern did back in the day. I'm a child of 533 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 7: the awesome eighties and the nineties and the Minnesota Timberwolves 534 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 7: even thoughts to usurped the salary cap before Kevin Garnett 535 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 7: held them Hawt Diage, David's late great David Stern struck 536 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 7: down with them with such force you didn't even hear 537 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 7: about They haven't heard about it since, Okay, So that 538 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 7: that's my issue. 539 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 3: All right. 540 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 7: It's a half measure and I don't know, frankly, And 541 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 7: this is the last point that I got I haven't made 542 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 7: a lot of points. I appecially let me cook here 543 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 7: in February vacation, not apil. I got it right because 544 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 7: I messed it up yesterday. But here's the bottom line. 545 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 7: The NBA draft. What seemed that Patrick Human go to 546 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 7: based on the. 547 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 2: Temperature York Nigger Bockers because the envelope was frozen. The 548 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 2: envelope frozen. 549 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 7: Yes, But at the end of the day, all these 550 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,239 Speaker 7: things these teams are doing if it doesn't line up 551 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 7: with what the NBA wants. Did Victor Weybnyama to go 552 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 7: to Charlotte, that dumpster fire of an organization. No, he 553 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 7: went to San Antonio with the legacy, with the tradition 554 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 7: to play for Greg Popovich, Lebron James, same thing. He 555 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 7: just happens to go to Cleveland instead of not to Denver. Right, 556 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 7: So all the NBA, at the end of the day, 557 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 7: they're gonna put players and how do you want to 558 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 7: say it, but you're gonna put players where they can 559 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 7: benefit the league and other teams who lose out you 560 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 7: get it back down the road. That's how the draft 561 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 7: that's kind of worked out. So all this analytics stuff 562 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 7: to fix the tanking and the draft. You're already doing that. 563 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 7: By the way, Cooper Flag, what was the percentage of 564 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 7: Dallas getting that number one pick? And you jettison Luca, 565 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 7: You anger the fan base, and then next thing you know, 566 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 7: you're gifting. 567 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: They think a lot of people it was rigged and 568 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 2: all that.
