Speaker 2: gambling scandal continuing in professional baseball. What is the most

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: puzzling thing about Guardians closer Emmanuel class being dragged in

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: to the gambling web? Where did Emmanuel class A cross

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: the line with the Guardians according to the investigative reporting. Also,

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,479

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,480

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: is from the Land from Cleveland. One of the big

35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: names that is supposed to be traded this week is

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: off the trading block.

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: Today is the twenty ninth.

38
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: The trade deadline is a couple days away on July

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 2: thirty first, so we're a couple days away from that.

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: I'm still upset that they ruined our fun. All the

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: trade deadlines used to be at midnight Eastern Time, which

42
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: meant a lot of trades happened late at night. A

43
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: lot of trades happened right before we got on the air.

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: And then there was a woman with red hair named

45
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Rachel Nichols that complained that she had to stay up

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: late for the trade deadline of the NBA. It wasn't fair.

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: She needed a beauty sleep, and so the NBA they said, okay,

48
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: we'll make the trade deadline the afternoon, and then every

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: other league followed suit, and so now we get crappy

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: daytime trade deadlines. But this is not about that. We

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: can rant about that later, but instead, if you did

52
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: not hear the news, and possibly not, it is a

53
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: humdinger of a story. The All Star Closer, not this year,

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: but in years past for the Cleveland Guardians. What a

55
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: dumb name that is. Manuel class A has been put

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: on time out by Major League Baseball for some funny

57
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: business turn If you believe the reporting, class A was

58
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: placed on the non non disciplinary, paid league paid LEA

59
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: through August thirty, first part of the ongoing Major League

60
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: Baseball investigation into sports gambling. The plot thickens. Now you

61
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: keep me'scoring home. The Cleveland Guardians lead Major League Baseball

62
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: in gambling. Congratulations boys, Wow, so he's the second Guardians

63
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: pitcher to be caught in the all ongoing investigation, which

64
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: who knows when this is going to end? The Cleveland

65
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: right hander, the great Luis Ortees. So good, you had

66
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: to look him up on Baseball Reference to find out

67
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: who he is. Anyway, he remains on the non disciplinary

68
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: paid leave naughty list now He was originally placed there

69
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: at July third. That has been extended for orties as

70
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: well to August thirty first. Nowaday prepared statement vetted by

71
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: an army of lawyers. The Guardian said, among other things,

72
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: no additional players or club personnel are expected to be

73
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: impacted by the investigation. Keep in mind, if you know

74
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: your weasel words, look at page seventeen of the Weasel Handbook,

75
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: and the word expected is a weasel term because you

76
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: never expect one of your players to get in trouble

77
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: with gambling. Why would you expect that you never expect

78
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: a trade to happen? They're unexpected? All right? So let

79
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: us discuss the question is as follows. Keep this simple

80
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: sports RADI. So what is the most puzzling What is

81
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: the most puzzling thing about the Guardians closer Emmanuel class

82
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: A being dragged into the gambling web. So I've got

83
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: dance floor, Hansel and Gretel and Begs, and we will

84
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: combine all of these things together for an original Malard

85
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: monologue which is as good as milk chocolate covered almonds

86
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: one of my favorite snacks. When I don't eat much,

87
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: but when I do, I like to have a look

88
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: a few handful or so of those delicious milk chocolate

89
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: covered almonds. Manly good. All right, kurklum brain, by the way,

90
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: I go krooklm brain. All right? So number what number

91
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: number one?

92
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: Uh?

93
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: This is not some flotsam and jetsam. This is this

94
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: is bigger. This is a bigger story here as a

95
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: Yogi bear taught me. Not Yogi bear. Yogi bear taught

96
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: me you're supposed to be smarter than the average bear.

97
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: Not so much. We're not talking about some random middle

98
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: relief pitcher or some fourth or fifth starter.

99
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no.

100
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: At one point in recent years, if you were to

101
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 2: poll the executives in Major League Baseball, they would say

102
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: the top closer in the entire American League, Emmanuel Classe,

103
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: top guy in the American league.

104
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: Right, and if not all of baseball.

105
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: Was an all star multiple times coveted around baseball, expected

106
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: to be traded this week, not anymore, but was expected

107
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: to be traded. The thing, though, that's the most puzzling,

108
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: is the money factor. Now he's not the highest paid

109
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: relief pitcher in baseball. However, Class A is on a

110
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: twenty million dollar contract. So if you've got a twenty

111
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: million dollar contract, you're living pretty high on the hog.

112
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: Most would say, right, And this is the biggest name

113
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: that has been caught up in this to this point.

114
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: And make no mistake, make no mistake, this is major

115
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: League Baseball. They're hitting the dance floor. They're out on

116
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: the dance floor. They're doing a little dance with a devil,

117
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: is what they're doing. They tore and let me tell

118
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: you something, Baseball at this point is tore up from

119
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: the floor up. If you know what I'm saying here,

120
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: they signed these deals and listen, I again, I love gambling.

121
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm a gambler, but even I know you're you're messing

122
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: with some really bad stuff here. How far in they've gone.

123
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: They didn't just go a little bit in. They just

124
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 2: put their toe in the water.

125
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: They are all in.

126
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: Even I someone that bets I do, But I'm like

127
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: Pete Rose, I bet on baseball. Even I'm when I'm

128
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: watching him, blown away by the amount of advertising for

129
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: the for gambling. And listen, I don't mind it I'm

130
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: a little amazed that baseball is okay with it, But

131
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: here we are. And so they took the money, and

132
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: again I'm fine with it. I last a couple of years,

133
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 2: I did a gambling show, and for years on the radio,

134
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: we did Benny versus the Pennies on TV the last

135
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: couple of years. But now, of course baseball, well they're shocked,

136
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: they're absolutely shocked that players are messing around with prop bets.

137
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: Give me a break. Well, that's what this is about.

138
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: So page two, So where where did Emmanuel class A

139
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: cross the line with the guardians? See? This is the

140
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: part of the story which is almost unbelievable when you

141
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: think about how you can track something like this. Now,

142
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: now we think we know how this was uncovered, but

143
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: we don't know the specifics. We don't know all the

144
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 2: intricate details. However, we know that there was a line

145
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: that was tossed out unusual betting activity around multiple pitches

146
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: involving Emmanuel class A. So Internet sluice have done some

147
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: digging and they've investigated this. Wes, this doesn't come from baseball.

148
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: Internet investigators have found what they believe is the smoking gun.

149
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: What is that all right?

150
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: What is the smoking gun. I'm glad you asked.

151
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: So.

152
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: Class A has entered the ninth inning forty times this season,

153
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: forty times. And you know what is waste pitch rate

154
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: is on first pitches, it's almost twenty percent according to

155
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: stat cast, it's seventeen and a half percent.

156
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: Well, who cares about that, you're a nerd.

157
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: Let me explain. So seventeen and a half percent of

158
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: the time Class A comes in and throws garbage, a

159
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: non competitive pitch, no chance of being a strike, non competitive,

160
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 2: not eywhere close to the strike zone. And that is

161
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: something that stands out. I mean, one of these things

162
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: is not like the other. The rest of the pitches,

163
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: the non competitive pitch rate is like around five percent.

164
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: The first pitch is close to twenty percent, so you

165
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: can do the mat It's like it stands out like

166
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: glitter at a funeral. You don't often see glitter at

167
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: a funeral, right, and you smell that it's not with

168
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: the rocks cooking. That would be in game live betting.

169
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: Now I don't do the in game live betting. I don't.

170
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: I just yeah, it's not I think I have some

171
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: friends of mine that are really invested in in game

172
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: live betting, and they think I am a donkey for

173
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: not getting involved in it. They love it like they

174
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: love having action on multiple pitches, or what a batter

175
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: is going to do, a ground ball, fly ball. These

176
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: all kinds of different props in game betting that you

177
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: can do and if you're unfamiliar with it, if you're

178
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: not a gambler, live betting has been around for you know, forever.

179
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: Now it's mainstream. But you can bet whether a pitch

180
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: is going to be a ball or a strike in

181
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: real time, in real time? Now, is it true that

182
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: the wise guys had inside information on the pattern from

183
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Class so when he came in out of a bullpen,

184
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: they knew chut chang chut ching to chang. Free money,

185
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: free money, free money, Come on down framee. Now, little

186
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: Birdie tells me that may or may not have inside information.

187
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: There's a lot of blood at the crime scene, if

188
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying here a lot of blood.

189
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: And now I'm in the old days, back when the

190
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 2: mob was involved in this kind of stuff. Straight up,

191
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: what they would do is it'd be a phone call

192
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: to is Rodney Dangerfield, The old comedian would say, Vinnie boombots,

193
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: So they'd call Vinnie Boombots and say, Hey, I'd like

194
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: to bet on that first pitch being a ball. These

195
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: days because of technology, what do you think there is

196
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: that You think there's text message chains, you think there's

197
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: social media change, you think there's Venmo transactions, burner phones

198
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 2: that aren't really burning, and all that. Major League Baseball

199
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: and the sports books. From what we're hearing, and who

200
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: knows if we're right, we're hearing that they have the receipts.

201
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: And this again ties back to the original Toronto Raptor

202
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: player that got banned for life from the NBA because

203
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: he was using around with prop bets. And so they

204
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: fell down this rabbit hole. They follow the digital paper

205
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: trail like it's Hansel and Gretel and it's the cost

206
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: of doing business in Major League Baseball and who's next, Right,

207
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 2: they let the genie out of the bottle and the

208
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: second they agreed to go down this avenue and so

209
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: paid leave, paid leave means Major League Baseball is not

210
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: ready to completely drop the hammer, and they're likely trying

211
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: to decide, like what is the punishment on this cause

212
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: you're not it's this weird gray area like you can

213
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: come in and proy a non competitive pitch if you're

214
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: a manual Class A and be really good. I mean,

215
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 2: he's been one of the top pitchers in baseball. He's

216
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: not as good this year. But the argument could be

217
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 2: listening is it's not affecting the outcome of the game.

218
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: You're not throwing the game. This is not the Chicago

219
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: Black Sox back in the day. You're just throwing one pitch,

220
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: but you're hurting the gambles. And we always know about gambling.

221
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: They don't mind if you lose money and gambling. If

222
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: you win money, that's a problem. They'd all like, if

223
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: you win money, if you lose. They never investigate losers. No, no, no,

224
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: they give you free steak dinners if you lose. If

225
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: you win, then they start snooping around. They put limits

226
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: on how much you can win. That's all. It's always men.

227
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: That's all back in the old days. They just take

228
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: you under the casino with baseball bats and you know,

229
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: so what's going on here. But we'll see how deep

230
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: the rabbit hole goes here. And we're not quite there yet.

231
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: A Class A being on the list that is a

232
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: pretty large bombshell. It's a high leverage reliever. But again,

233
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: he's not throwing games. The argument at this point, from

234
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: what we heard, is not that he's throwing games. He's

235
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: just throwing random prop bets. And you don't bet that

236
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: much on a prop bet. But if you think it

237
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: ends with the two Cleveland Guardian pitchers, I have some

238
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: beachfront property in beautiful Des Moines, Iowa. I would like

239
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: to sell you. Yeah, and my realtor there a couple reeltors.

240
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: In the morning, they'll show you around and the yeah,

241
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: do a good job.

242
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: Sure, why not?

243
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: I mean, if you have not been paying attention Major

244
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: League Baseball. They are in bed, and they're in bed

245
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: with the books, and now there are bed bugs starting

246
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: to bite. The bed bugs are out there biting right now.

247
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: Final point where to turn the page? Turn the page?

248
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: Another melancholy goodbye, we go to Chicago. News came out

249
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: on Monday night. The news came out a Major League

250
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: Baseball the Cubs announcing the Hall of Famer Ryan Sandberg dead.

251
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: Died on Monday, age of sixty five. So I want

252
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: to spend a couple of minutes talking about Ryan Sandberg.

253
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: So what are what are your reflections on the Hall

254
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: of Famer remembered mostly for the Cubs. Right, didn't start

255
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: with the Cubs, But you remember Ryan Sambery, So what

256
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: what are your reflections on Ryan Sambury. So my memories,

257
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: I get I'm not a Cub fan, not a Cup fan,

258
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: but my reflection on Ryan Sandberg, I will remember being

259
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: a child, a little boy, and turning on WGN, the superstation,

260
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: and being taken to another world like I was, Oh

261
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: my god. That was back when this thing called cable

262
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: television was seen as an exotic thing. It's like, oh man,

263
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: it's crazy. And you'd sit there and there on your

264
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: television it was the Cub Baseball, Chicago.

265
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Cub Baseball just appeared right there.

266
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: In your living room. And I lived on the West Coast,

267
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: so the Cubs games would have to go pretty long,

268
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: and in those days they did. I mean, these baseball

269
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: games ago four hours. So I'd see the end of

270
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: the Cub games if I went to school, if I

271
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: ditch school, I'd watch the whole Cub game. I watched

272
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: the whole Cub game. So I'd sit there and watch.

273
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: And it didn't matter where you lived in those days.

274
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: You didn't ask to watch the Cubs. You likely were

275
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: not a Cub fan. I wasn't, but there they were.

276
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: You had the Cubs and then you had the Braves

277
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: on TBS, but you had the Cubs on WGN, and

278
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: every afternoon you'd sit there. If you love baseball growing

279
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: up and being right in there, you'd watch it and

280
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: you'd see the ivy on the outfield walls at Wrigley,

281
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: the lunatics and the bleachers. You'd see Harry Carey in

282
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: the booth with Steve Stone calling Cubs baseball. Occasionally Harry

283
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: would even be lucid. He was always sauced, always completely sauce,

284
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: and he had just like this haze of Budwise. Even

285
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: as a kid, I like that guy looks drunk. And

286
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: then he had that it's like the Beg song. The

287
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: man in the middle of all that was Ryan Sandberg.

288
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: He was the man in the middle, slim. He had

289
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: the sleeves rolled up out there playing second base and

290
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: just wasn't about the glitz and glamour and all that stuff.

291
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: And he had the eye black smudged.

292
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: Across his face and the cheekbone and he'd be standing

293
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: out there at second base, digging in to the batter's

294
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: box and hitting one to the gap and was not flashing.

295
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 2: I didn't stand out and to stand out from the crowd.

296
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: Didn't do the things like Ricky Henderson some of the

297
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: other guys in that era did. But he didn't need

298
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: to be. Ryan Sandberg was efficient and he played a

299
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: stoic stoic baseball for the Cubs there and fundamentals. Remember

300
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: the Sandberg game against Bruce Souiter in nineteen eighty four,

301
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: But that whole nineteen eighty four season for the Cubs,

302
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: if you're old enough to remember, that was cub That

303
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: was the year of destiny for the Chicago Cubs until

304
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: Leon Durham got involved. But it was the year of

305
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: destiny for the Chicago Cubs. It just that was their time.

306
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 2: They won the division. Sandberg was the MVP of that

307
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 2: Cub team and for the first time any very long time,

308
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: I think it was a generation. The Chicago Cubs at

309
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: that point were not seen as lovable losers. The Chicago

310
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: Cubs were contenders. This was gonna be the year they

311
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: were gonna end the curse of the Billy Goat. And

312
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: Sandberg was there, as we said, the man in the middle.

313
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: He was quiet, He was study for the Chicago Cubs,

314
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: and he wasn't all about the the show biz. And

315
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: you know there's other players were better. Mike Schmidt. You

316
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: think of the home runs, he had a little bit

317
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: of flare to him, the craziest well, Ricky Henders. But

318
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: in the National League, I guess Ozzie Smith doing the

319
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: backflips the Wizard of Oz for the Cardinals.

320
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: But Samberg was just always there.

321
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: I remember it as a kidd. He won a bunch

322
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: of gold gloves, and he won ten gold gloves and

323
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: was an All Star a bunch of times. And I

324
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe one who knows a bunch of All

325
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: Star games, a bunch of gold gloves, I don't remember

326
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: the exact numbers. But he was always there and had

327
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 2: big power and would steal bases, and in that era,

328
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: normally he didn't have too much of those kind of

329
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: players where they would do both, and so he did both.

330
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: And that was a position in the nineteen eighties where

331
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: you were posed to slap singles if you were a

332
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: second baseman and just turned double plays, that was it.

333
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: And Sandberg be out there hitting home runs and stealing

334
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: bases and doing all that, and then you got the name,

335
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 2: not Ryan Ryan Ryne, not r y An, And he

336
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: was named after a legendary pitcher who was before my time,

337
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: who pitched for the I think it was the Cincinnati

338
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: Reds named Ryan Dern, who was the original wild Thing.

339
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: This guy threw really hard, he wore coke bottle glasses,

340
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: and nobody knew where the pitch was going. In fact,

341
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: one of the iconic baseball characters was named was not

342
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: named after him, but was honored with his legacy. That

343
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: was Ricky wild Thing Vaughn in the movie Major League.

344
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: They actually patterned that character after Ryan Duran, who Ryan

345
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: Sandberg was named after and would go on and play

346
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 2: in the Major leagues and all that stuff. So dead

347
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: at age sixty five, way too young for Ryan Samdberg

348
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: from cancer. So rest in peace, Ryan Sandberg as he

349
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: leaves this mortal coil, another little brick if you're around

350
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: my age, another brick of your child. We have a

351
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: lost Hulk Hogan Ozzy Osbourne, the kid from the Cosby Family.

352
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 2: Now Samberg, I thought it was only supposed to go

353
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: in threes. We're getting more here, We're getting more than threes.

354
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 2: Is it a six pack?

355

Speaker 4: Like?

356
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,200

Speaker 2: a fan of sports, you knew the lineup for the

Speaker 2: Braves and the Mets like the back of your hands.

445
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: Summertime filler in between wrestling and cartoons. Yeah, don't forget.

446
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: At one point we also got Mets games. I did

447
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 2: on w o R. Not a lot of Mets games,

448
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: but there were Mets games there. Pig says, No Sean

449
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: Dunstan mentioned he was the flash next to Sandberg. Yeah,

450
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: that's a bad job by mee. Sean Dunstan, absolutely, But

451
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: in my defense, I did mention.

452
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: I did mention.

453
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 2: Leon the Bull Durham, so I did get him in there,

454
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: so that was a little bit. I didn't mention Rick Suckcliff.

455
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: I could have done Rick Suckcliffe, who was there at

456
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 2: eighty four. Dennis Eckersley. I associate Eckersley more with the athletics.

457
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: I know he played for a bunch of teams and

458
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: all that stuff, but huh, and then that Cup team

459
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: that was before they got the great Andre DAWs.

460
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: He came later.

461
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: He was not on that eighty four cub seam. As

462
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: we do old guy baseball talk, Joe the gust Hunter says,

463
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: I remember watching the cub station back in the nineties

464
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: while my trash ex wife was yelling at me.

471
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: I don't know much about the guy. That's it. Just

472
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: in time. Davis right and says that was a great

473
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: history of Ryan Sandberg. I too was sitting on the

474
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 2: floor turning the dial to see Sandberg play. Also, my

475
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: mom's family is from Cleveland, so Major League is a favorite.

476
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: The Sandberg wild thing connection.

477
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:38,560

479
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: all the Bill Miller. Our friend Tammy and Vegas. We

480
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: met her at the Malther Meet and greet we did

481
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 2: in Vegas last year. She says, Sam, as you WGN

482
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: came on. While I was a kid, I watched every

483
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 2: CUB game during the summer, and Ryan Sandberg was one

484
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: of my first favorite baseball players. Tammy says, I can remember,

485
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 2: and this was when I was living in Hawaii. Well,

486
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: if you were living in Hawaii, that would mean that

487
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 2: was morning Cub baseball because the CUB games they started

488
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: like an eleven or noon on the West coast, so

489
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: that means they were started like nine or ten in

490
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: the morning, depending on the time of the year. In Hawaii.

491
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 2: So Benito says, shout out to a minual class a

Speaker 1: I'm doing. You asked me how it's going.

502
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: If I was any better, I'd be a Rocky, but

503
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,000

508
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 2: do some dusting at the house, and I guess I'm

509

Speaker 2: allergic to the dust in the house, So that kind

510
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,600

00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: Soccer practice in July and August four schools started and

598
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,120

599
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: Shano meter, and I don't know Durham or Grace was

600

602
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: a few years there later was Mark Grace took over.

603
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: Remember Keith Morland, very odd looking guy.

604
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: Keith Morley, Yes, I remember him, but my uncle said

605
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 3: he did a ball's cocaine with Leonon Durham once. But

606
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: that's besides the point.

607
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: Well, that was the nineteen eighties. Man, everyone was doing

608
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: coke and.

609
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: Bought it from Pete Rose. The hero he is.

610
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: But I guess you can say that he's dead, so

611
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: you can't get sued by saying that Pete Rose, you know,

612
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: hooked you up with.

613
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: Well, Dusty Baker was pissed. What he was The rest

00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 3: they said, every time I came to Cincinnati. I told Dusty,

616
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: I said, uh, Dusty kill Dave Parker, get me one

617
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: of the Nate balls of Pete's. And uh, Dusty Baker

618
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: got pissed. But it was true.

619
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: Well, there are so many stories about the cocaine days

620
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: in baseball, and they had cocaine trials. A lot of

621
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: younger people have no idea, but in the eighties they

00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 3: Jay, Yeah, I just how does blind Scott tell like

690
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 3: when there's a review in NFL if the guy got

691
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 3: two feet down or one feed down.

692
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: Great question. Let me see, blind Scott. We're asking a

693
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 2: blind guy, Blind Scott, how do you handle the reviews

694
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: in the NFL? Blind Scott?

695
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 9: This is actually a pretty good question. So the radio

696
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 9: guys aren't that good on the radio. There's too many

697
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 9: players on the football field. They need to describe it better.

698
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 9: That's why Ben, you really could. Ben could work anywhere.

699
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 9: He could make way more money than this. I email

700
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 9: Ben all the time. I say, don't do the fifth outary.

701
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 9: You're not getting paid for it. Take another job, don't

702
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 9: I do that?

703
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 8: Yeah?

704
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: You do? You advise me. You're one of my great

705
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,080

Speaker 3: because very liarkable to the Hall of Fame this weekend. Yeah,

714
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,000

715
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: you can't. He went from TV to radio. You can't

716

Speaker 2: pretty much on your own. So it's a it's a

723
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: much different animal. All Right, I gotta go, Thank you, Jay,

00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: in twenty eleven in the American Mague Championship Series.

780
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: Here we go, it's maller. How about that?

781
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 5: To the third degree?

782
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: This is one big Ben gets grilled Kupol.

783
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 10: With Matthew Stafford week to week with back problems. Sean

784
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 10: mcvayhy recently told reporters that he thinks Jimmy Garoppolo is

785
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 10: a starting quarterback. Yeah, Ben, Let's assume the worst and

786
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 10: say Jimmy G has to start a number of games

787
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 10: for the Rams.

788
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: How much does that hurt their chances at winning the

789
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: NFC West.

790
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: Well, he has started seven games since the end of

791
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 2: the twenty two season for the Raiders and he did

792
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: start one game for the Rams.

793
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: Listen, the Rams are supposed to.

794
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: Be more of a defensive team, so they can get

795
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: by in the regular season to ultimately get where they

796
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 2: want to go and get to the Super Bowl, win

797
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: the NFC, which they were close to doing last year.

798
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: They have very little chance with Garoppolo, very little chance

799
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 2: with Jimmy G. The Prince Aladdin the Great Garoppolo.

800
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 10: Next, Billy Donovan has a losing record in five seasons

801
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 10: with the Bulls and has led them to the playoffs

802
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 10: one time. Yet the team just signed him to a

803
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 10: multi year extension. Are you surprised by this?

804
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 2: No, And the rumor for a long time was that

805
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: Donovan was going to go back to college, but they

806
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: college basketball is so effed up and so messed up

807
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: right now, he's changed his mind. The thing about the

808
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: bullszelt for a couple of years. They weren't even trying

809
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: to win. They were fielding non competitive teams and Billy

810
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: Donovan was coaching teams that they.

811
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: Knew going into the year, we're going to be terrible.

812
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: I went with a great college basketball coaches for the

813
00:40:59,200 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: Florida Gators.

814
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 1: But he likes the NBA lifestyle. They like him.

815
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: He's considered one of the least the mid to mid

816
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 2: tier to a little bit better than that NBA coach.

817
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: And you know he's not going anyway. He's been there.

818
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 2: He was in Oklahoma City for five years now, he's

819
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: been in Chicago. He's been an NBA coach for ten

820
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 2: years now, I believe, so he's not He's settled into

821
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 2: that live next.

822
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 10: The Texas Rangers are in third place in the AL West,

823
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 10: but have been on a tear in July and they

824
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 10: actually have the second best run differential in all of

825
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 10: the American League. Ben eddin Arlington alluded to it last night. Yeah,

826
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 10: do you think the Rangers are being slept on?

827
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not sleeping on the Rangers because they would

828
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: die if I slept on them. But no, the Rangers

829
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 2: are one of those teams in the American League. I

830
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: don't see anybody invincible. I don't even nationallygue for that matter.

831
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 2: To me, it's wide open. Just getting the playoffs and

832
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 2: with Bruce Bochie one of the better managers in playoffs,

833
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: they got absolutely got a shot. How do we do

834
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 2: MASSU Sedition nother wad quote it on the ball. Oh yeah,
