1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two on this Wednesday, Dan and The

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Dane's Stan Patrick Show. A little bit later on the

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Great Marv Albert calling it a career after this year's postseason,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: the right old age of eighty. We'll talk to Marv

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: a little bit later on the State Farm play in

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: Tournament got started last night. I'm not sure the first

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: two games left an impression that the NBA had hoped for.

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: In the first game, the Pacers are shorthanded. They blew

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: out the Hornets. They scored one hundred forty four points.

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: Then the Celtics Wizards a little tighter, but Boston won

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: thanks to fifty points by Jason Tatum. If the play

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: in Tournament is here to stay, this is probably what

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: we should expect. Some intriguing matchups, certainly like tonight Lakers Warriors,

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: and some teams who probably don't belong in the playoffs

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: like the Hornets. But now Washington and Indiana will play

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: in a single elimination game. Russell Westbrook didn't play well

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: against the Celtics and needs to step up to salvage

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: the Wizards season. Bradley Beal not one hundred percent, so

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: it shouldn't all be on Russ, but it will be

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: the Pacers hope to roll off that impressive offensive performance

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: against the Hornets, and that should be a little more

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: entertaining than the first round, although I wouldn't be surprised

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: if the whole mini tournament has soon forgotten when the

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: real playoffs get underway. Pulled question, McLevin, So we have

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: to change it. Our one was who's coming out of

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: the West. The Lakers of the field eighty four percents

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: at the field. So now I ask if not the

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Lakers and who's coming out of the West, that I

30
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: put the other six teams with the Warriors in there.

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: And I'm very curious if the number one sed Jazz

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: will win this. They're the early leader in the poll.

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,280

36
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: controversy that started on Monday in Chicago. Tony LaRussa critical

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: of one of his players because he hit a home

38
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: run off a three zo pitch, and you had an

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: incident last night where pitch was thrown behind this player.

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Tony not really sticking up for his player, and this

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: is a team that's playing really well. Soho we'll have that.

42
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,480

51
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: no hitter another no hitter, Spencer Turnbull through a no hitter.

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if he is now. There's been a

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: couple of articles written about this pitcher that he is

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: one of the more unlucky pitchers in recent history. He

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: is ten and twenty five in his career. He has

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: the worst record by any pitcher to throw a no

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: hitter at ten and twenty five, but he does have

58
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: some good numbers. I guess if you look at the

59
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: stats here, you know that he's better than what his

60
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: record would indicate. But I think We're going to see

61
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: probably close to ten no hitters this year. I wouldn't

62
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: be surprised. It'll be an all time record. This is

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: the pace Mariner has been no hit twice in a month.

64
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: It's going to be the lowest batting average in history.

65
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: If you let me see if I have these numbers

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: here for you, the lowest batting average. So this is

67
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: the aggregate baseball average. This is everybody in baseball in

68
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one right now, batting two thirty six. Prior

69
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: to that, the lowest batting average for a season was

70
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight. That's when they still had the mound raised.

71
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: That's two or lowered the mound two thirty seven. Nineteen

72
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: sixty eight, that's when Carlo Yastremski won the batting title

73
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: batting three oh one. And I think the next the

74
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: runner up was Danny Cater who batted two ninety one.

75
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: Then you have to go back to eighteen eighty eight

76
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: when it was two thirty eight. Now, after nineteen sixty eight,

77
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: then they lowered the mound and redefined the strike zone

78
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: as well to help the hitters. Yeah, Paul, Yeah, I

79
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: found an article from the Washington Post in late nineteen

80
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: sixty eight. It says there's ample evidence that the public

81
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: is getting a wary and tired of all these pictures. Duels,

82
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: wrote the Post calumnists, and they've brought it down to

83
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: ten inches, shrank the strike zone to help with offense,

84
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: and instantly worked. But you know, in today's game, the

85
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: hitter is up there to hit a home run, and

86
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: the pictures there to strike you out. And the fact

87
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: that I went to I saw a couple of no

88
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: hitters in person in Cincinnati. Not exciting until it gets

89
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: to the seventh or eighth inning. Certainly the ninth inning.

90
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: I remember Kenny Holtzman of the Cubs throwing a no hitter,

91
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: and I was seated down the first base line. I

92
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: didn't buy a ticket there. I was in the upper

93
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: deck and then snuck down and I remember Johnny Bench

94
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: came to the plate and Johnny tried to bunt to

95
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: get on. So one of the great power hitters in

96
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: the game, one of the great players of all time.

97
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: You did not want to be embarrassed, and Johnny laid

98
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: down a bunt. They were trying to get on in

99
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: any way that they could, and I have no problem

100
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: with that. I don't know if you know anybody on

101
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: the Twins or whoever who the Tigers play last night.

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: Do we even know? I don't know if anybody was

103
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: embarrassed by that, Hey we got no hit. Okay. It

104
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: used to be like we got no hit. Now it's just, hey,

105
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: we'll get them tomorrow. It's the Mariners already used to

106
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: ye Mariners. Yeah, I just said they got no hit twice.

107
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're embarrassed, but you're you know,

108
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: you just go up there and you don't put it

109
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: in play back then you were not gonna let somebody

110
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, no hit. You now, all right, we got

111
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: no hit last night, No big deal. Yeah, Mick Levin,

112
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: I think being in the crowd for no hitter sounds

113
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: like really exhilarating, Like I got a like a little

114
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: goosebug just saying that. I would be so into it

115
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: by the ninth inning, not the first five innings, because

116
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: you don't know if something has happened. It's just kind

117
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: of quiet. Rick Wise through a no hitter and I

118
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: think hit two home runs the Phillies, rick Wise wow

119
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: against the Reds. But you're watching it and then it

120
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: gets to the seventh inning, well, my team was being

121
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: no hit, so you're like desperate to get it. Wasn't like, boy,

122
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: this is exciting. I'm watching Kenny holtzman a left hand

123
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: or throw a no hitter here. But then you get

124
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: to that eighth ninth inning and it is exciting. But

125
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: I don't I just don't know if today's player cares.

126
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: They don't care that they strike out. They don't care

127
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: if they don't put the ball in play or get

128
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: no hit. And this is what baseball is trying to

129
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: fix because they made the baseball lighter and they thought

130
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: as a result that maybe you'll put the ball in

131
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: play because the ball will go one to two feet less.

132
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: That's what the you know, the scientific process behind this,

133
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: but it hasn't worked yet, and I don't know if

134
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: it's going to. Baseball wants to have more balls put

135
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: in play, stolen bases, hit and run, but I don't

136
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: know if you're going to get that because you don't

137
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: get paid to do that. These players get paid to

138
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: hit home runs. Who are we talking about now? Show

139
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: hey Otani why he strikes people out As a pitcher.

140
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: He throws one hundred miles an hour and he has

141
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: thirteen home runs. He's perfect, he's the he's the quintessential

142
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: baseball play. He's the poster child for today. Hey got

143
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery, no worries, Keep going back out there

144
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: and throw a Hundy and swing for the fences. And

145
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: that's what he's doing. But I don't know if baseball

146
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: is going to get to a point where teams are

147
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: putting the ball in play stolen bases. How about if

148
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: you get no hit, you don't get paid that night,

149
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: the entire team, Yes, everybody, everybody that night. That name

150
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: would be great. Then you're gonna see somebody put the

151
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: ball in play. Yes, you're gonna see bunts, which is

152
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: the worst. They don't know how to bunt. They don't

153
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: practice bunting. It's like when the shift is on, and

154
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: then you'll get hitters going that's not fair. Well, how

155
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: about you just put the ball right down third base line.

156
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: You can get a double. There's nobody down in there going.

157
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: You go right there. Just do it. They can't do it,

158
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: they won't do it. Yeah, mccle i saw Bryce Harper

159
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: budget gets to shift this season. The ball must have

160
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: went straight out into the dugout like he had no

161
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: idea what he was doing not at all. It looked

162
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: like me bunting. That's when those guys, you know, when

163
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: you you can see somebody who's never bunted, and they

164
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: put their fingers on the bat and they expose their

165
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: fingers and all you have to do is get hit

166
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: one time on that finger and you never do that again.

167
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, you just a little deadened,

168
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, a little nudge with the baseball there, Yes, Todd,

169
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: if it is or was embarrassing to be no hit,

170
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: couldn't you make the argument that it's just as embarrassing,

171
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: if not worse, that you're resorting, especially a Johnny Bench type,

172
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: to have to bunt to get on base. I think

173
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: that's wait, wait a minute, are you calling out my heroes?

174
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: But if anyone of that Cowboy or any player for

175
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: that matter, that's bunting, this is what we have to do.

176
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: The only way we could hit this guy or get

177
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: on base because we don't want to get no hit,

178
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: is to stick the bat around and lay down a bunt.

179
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: That to me is as weak as getting no hit.

180
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: You're lucky that I have to host this show, because

181
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: I would drop the headphones here, Paul go punch for

182
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: some shot shot. No, no, no, don't punch him. No,

183
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: you wanted to get on base. Yeah, but by bunting,

184
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: Yes to me that that's a basting. We can't hit

185
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: this guy. Let's just stick our bat out. That's the

186
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: only chance we have of breaking up. This guy's no

187
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: hit us, so they can't say they there's no hitter

188
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: against them. I can't believe that you have this attitude.

189
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: You're stuck in the seventies. Your whole life is stuck

190
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: in the seventies. And earl turning, turning around and sticking

191
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: your bat out as a way to get on base demand.

192
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: I would do whatever it took to get on That

193
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: didn't matter. You're not no hitting us. Uh. Countdown of

194
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: the greatest spectacle and racing is just it's so funny.

195
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Fritzie's like, I'm a man's man, you know, Bud. He

196
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: doesn't mot a lot, he doesn't shovel. Someone's got a

197
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: perfect game, So you stick your butt out. Ball hit Jesus,

198
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: you can't get a perfect game because I got in

199
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: the way of a pitch that was going to be

200
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: a strike. Probably, Yes, yeah, I'm with Todd. I think

201
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: the back row is taking the manly position here, believe

202
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: it or not, Like Johnny Bench didn't bunt a break.

203
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm with Todd, real men, don't bunt. I can't believe it.

204
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna do this called Johnny Bench. Oh boy, see

205
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: if Johnny didn't in the seventh inning try to lay

206
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: down a bunt against Kenny Hold. Can I just ask

207
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: the one question real quick, just because it's I'm having

208
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: a little trouble deciphering from two words. Sorry, you guys

209
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: are saying bunt. Todd pretty clearly just said stuck his

210
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: butt out so he'd get hit by a pitch that

211
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: was probably a strike. No, I'm saying, but like that

212
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: would be ruined a perfect game? What would that be?

213
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: But right, okay, I just want to make sure we're

214
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: talking about a bunt. Yeah, not a bunt. Well, we were,

215
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: but Todd brought into I'm giving us another example. I

216
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: think that would also be just as weak. If someone's

217
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: pitching a perfect game and you stick your butt out,

218
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: But we weren't talking about that, We're talking about a bunt.

219
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: They're both weak. But I still whatever it takes to

220
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: get on. You're not getting a perfect game against me.

221
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Countdown to the greatest back to goal and racing. It's

222
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: the nd five hundred thirtieth only on NBC. No, no, no, no, no, no.

223
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: This is not a horse race. Actually five hundred horses

224
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: running at the same time. Horse power, Oh god words,

225
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: Pounder White Sox manager Tony LaRussa expressed disappointment and you're

226
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: mean Mercedes after his designated hitters swung into three zero

227
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: pitch in the ninth inning of the game that Chicago

228
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: was leading fifteen to four at the Twins on Monday night.

229
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: Mercedes then hit a forty seven mile an hour ephas

230
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: pitch over the center field fence his third hit of

231
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: the game. Is Manager Tony LaRussa then said Tuesday that

232
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: it was a big mistake. He's a rookie, and here

233
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: is the Hall of Fame manager sportsmanship, respect for the

234
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: game or spect for your opponent. That's it's real and

235
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: estimated the philosophy, and we follow it. I've been taught it,

236
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: and you know the fact that he's a rookie. Excited

237
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: Glus explained why he's just slew clue. Okay, that's Tony

238
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: talking about his own player. He's a rookie. Tony did

239
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: say take it was three oh. He wanted him to

240
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: take the three oh pitch. And if you're a rookie,

241
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: what doesn't matter who you are. You listen to your manager.

242
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: And LaRussa has forgotten more baseball than your mean Mercedes

243
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: will ever know. But I have a problem with while

244
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: Tony is saying take and the players should listen to

245
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: your managers, start there, So you start there. Tony's got

246
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: to keep this in the clubhouse. I don't like that

247
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Tony made this public. Now I can say that both

248
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: are at fault because Mercedes was told by his manager

249
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: to take and then Tony making this public, and then

250
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: he's basically saying, hey, there's going to be consequences and

251
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: he's going to have to deal with that. But Mercedes,

252
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: who is known as a free spirit, says he's not

253
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: going to change and that's not going to work out. Well.

254
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, not that Mercedes. It's a little

255
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: sound of Mercedes. Yeah, Tony Larusa said, baseball wants to

256
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: encourage theatrics and they want players to have fun. I

257
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: talked to a bunch of my counterparts. Everyone is doing it.

258
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: Then no one can get upset. There will be a consequence.

259
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: He has to endure here within our family. It's a

260
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: learning experience. I'm absolutely certain the guy is not going

261
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: to swing at a three Z in another situation. LaRussa

262
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: then said, I don't want to ever give the other

263
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: team an excuse to take a shot at one of

264
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: our players. We were taught from day one to respect

265
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: the game, respect the competition, respect the opponent. I heard

266
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: he said something like I play my game, and then

267
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Larissa says, no, he doesn't. He plays the game of

268
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Respect the game. He's got to respect

269
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: the take sign. And then Mercedes says, I'm going to

270
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: play my game. I can't be another person. If I change,

271
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: everything is going to change. After the loss, Larusa did

272
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: not argue against the Twins strategy. This was after last night.

273
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't that suspicious. I'm suspicious when someone throws it

274
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: someone's head. I didn't have a problem with how the

275
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: Twins handled it. They threw a pitch behind him. Yeah,

276
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: that's great because he's like, hey, I don't want to

277
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: give anybody a reason to throw it my guys. But

278
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: then when they do, it's like, well, yeah, in that case,

279
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: it's fine, I totally get it. Yeah, but go ahead,

280
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: go ahead, Okay, so you're gonna do take all? Right?

281
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: So then you walk and then you get on first,

282
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: and then we continue. And then what happens when? When

283
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: are you allowed to swing? Let's say somebody throws a

284
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: forty seven mile in our epis pitch, just lobs it in.

285
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: Now what am I allowed to do? Are not allowed

286
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: to do? I? Can I swing on the first pitch,

287
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: second pitch, third pitch? Do I just take a walk? Like?

288
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: Who's making a mockery out of this? The Twins putting

289
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: in a positional player or somebody from the White Sox

290
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: in a blowout is swinging at the pitch from the

291
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: positional player? Do you want a mercy rule? I have

292
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: problems with both sides of this. I understand Tony larus

293
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: Is saying, I'm the manager. I gave you a take sign. Okay,

294
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't disregard what he said, But you

295
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: can't then expose this and let this out of the

296
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: clubhouse and basically say to the Twins, hey, go ahead,

297
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: throw at him. I'm okay with it, because that's part

298
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: of the unwritten rules of baseball. He's got to learn

299
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: his lesson twelve players if hit home runs on three

300
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: zero pitches this year, including George Springer who did so

301
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: twice in the same game, but this was fifteen to four.

302
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: That's the difference here. Fernando Tatis remember when he hit

303
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: a grand slam and both managers were upset with him.

304
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: He had a grand slam. His team was up ten

305
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: to three, so up by seven when he stepped to

306
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: the plate in the eighth inning and he had already

307
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: hit a homer on the night, and then he had

308
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: a three zero count and he hit a grand slam

309
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: off the Rangers. I don't have any problem with that.

310
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: Don't throw a damn meatball. I mean, you make a

311
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: mockery of the whole thing. It's like, okay, take okay,

312
00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: here's an ef his pitch. Okay, great. I mean, well, yeah,

313
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm a club. You know, in other sports you could

314
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of pull your starters, like in basketball, you're not

315
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: gonna have you know, Lebron dunking on the other team

316
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: with two minutes left. But isn't that also controversial if

317
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: you hit a three at the end of the game.

318
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: I've seen fights over that. Yeah. Yeah, guy going for

319
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: a steel at the end of a game. And in football.

320
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: You'd be ripped if you were up twenty and nothing

321
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: and started calling pass plays all over the place. You're

322
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: expected to run it out, Dan and Indiana Joints system

323
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: will take a break. Hey Dan, what's on your mind?

324
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: Hey Dan? Thanks for taking my call? Can I it's

325
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: gonna be cool to hear Marv Albert? But can I

326
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: give a shout out to uh we lost to the

327
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: The Notre Dame announcer retired this year, Jack Nolan. He's

328
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: on your show every day because he does the U

329
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: unless I got it, that's him. So it's kind of cool.

330
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, he retired this year. But I called about

331
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: the Tony the roosting. I think back in the day,

332
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: like the Big Red Machine. I think I would like

333
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: seeing like Sparky Anderson. Just give Johnny Bench a look,

334
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: and Johnny get up and go get that player, you

335
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Have one of the players talk

336
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: to him. Get well, but they should and thanks thanks

337
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: to Yeah. I think you police your own clubhouse, but

338
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that you take it out for everybody

339
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: else to hear. You know, Tony's been around a long time.

340
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: He could have avoided this, you know, I could say, look, hey,

341
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to deal with this in house. You know,

342
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: we're we're learning, we're getting to know each other. It's

343
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: my first year with this team, and we're playing well,

344
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: we're in first place. There's a lot of things to

345
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: be excited about. This is this is a learning process,

346
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we'll handle it in house. That's all.

347
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: If you do that, now, Mercedes can't be like, I

348
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: gotta be myself. What's myself the three zero pitch and

349
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: you're up fifteen four that you gotta swing to be yourself. Yeah. See,

350
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: my only problem with this is that he hit it

351
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: off someone who's not even really a picture. That's kind

352
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: of lane. Okay, then bring in a picture and it

353
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: looks like they ran through all their pitchers. They went

354
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: through like seventeen of them in that game. Well, if

355
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: it's that important you don't want to be shown up,

356
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: then don't bring in a positional player and throw a

357
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: forty seven mile an hour ephis pitch. I like everyone's

358
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: learning what an eis pitches today, By the way, that's

359
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: been around for like fifty years, maybe sixty years. Yes,

360
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have on written rules like the White

361
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: Sox can't swing and try to score more runs. When

362
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: they're fifteen four, the other team has to agree the

363
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: you that's losing, they have to agree not to come

364
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: back and win the game. So let's say in the

365
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: next ending they have a nine run ninth and all

366
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden it's fifteen, you know, thirteen. Yeah, they

367
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: got to stop there. So you guys, all right, guys,

368
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: you got close. It was cute, but we agree not

369
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: to take swings. So you got agree not to make

370
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: a comeback. And let me get to the tough guy,

371
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: Todd Fritz. Yes, time it's fifteen to four three and

372
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: ozho against an infield during the ninth inning. I don't

373
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: like the way Lewis ha handled it. An airing, you know,

374
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: dirty laundry could have spoke with him more in private

375
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: about that, but that's just that's ridiculous. And I don't

376
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: think the pitchers, even the stone, that's that's not what

377
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: you do. I don't like all the unwritten rules of baseball,

378
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: but that's one where he's got no business trying to

379
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: hit a home run there anything else, you know, we

380
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: see it all the time in other sports or football

381
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: teams winning you know, twenty it's to three you're down,

382
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: you're taking knee. You know you're not gonna try to

383
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: get another touchdown for I would never want somebody to

384
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: take a knee. I would never want a mercy rule there.

385
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: I'd be embarrassed if all of a sudden it's like, hey,

386
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: we're just gonna swing and miss. But have you ever

387
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: seen a defensive team in an NFL game start fighting

388
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: with the opense when the quarterback takes a knee and

389
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: flips it to the to the ref and they start

390
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: beating the crap at each other because they think they're

391
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: they're doing it in an embarrassing, humiliating way by taking knee.

392
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: They just you know, the other team doesn't have any

393
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: time outs left, the games over. You don't need anybody

394
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: to get hurt. We won taken a knee, Yeah, but

395
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: that's the final seconds of the game where you just

396
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: run out the clock. Yeah, but fifteen four and the

397
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: ninth I know teams have come back by bigger mark,

398
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: but still, you're these are professionals. This isn't like you're

399
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: you're in fourth grade and and you know we don't

400
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: want to hurt hurt. Then we got to protect the

401
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: kids and their egos. I think these are grown men.

402
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: You could also say, is it embarrassing the game by

403
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: putting someone in that's not a picture into the game? Yeah?

404
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: I did say that that is that? Is that embarrassing though,

405
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,239
Speaker 1: Like that should only be picture unless you've used up

406
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: every one of your pictures and making all of a

407
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: sudden start taking my stuff. But are you making a

408
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: mockery of the game? Is it that dramatic that by

409
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: putting someone who's a non pitcher in the game. Yes,

410
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: I said that ten minutes ago. I don't think it's

411
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: that strong a deal to put someone in that's not

412
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: a picture if you want to, just you know, you're

413
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: making a mockery of the game by putting in a

414
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: positional player. So then I'm gonna try to I'm gonna

415
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: double down on making a mockery and if it's position

416
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: to play that take a break. Maybe get baseball fans

417
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: to falling. Uh take a break? Wow, we're late back

Speaker 1: Johnny Bench joining us on the program. We got a

451
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: little spirited there in the last segment there with the

452
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: what was going on with the White Sox and the

453
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: rookie player? You're mean, Mercedes, they swings on the three

454
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: oh pitch. You've got a positional player in there. It's

455
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: teen to four, it's the ninth inning. Let me start there.

456
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: These damn unwritten rules of baseball, John So what are

457
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: you supposed to do if you're at the play? Now?

458
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: Let me let me at least say that Tony Larissa

459
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: said to his rookie to take the pitch. So I

460
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: have a problem that he disregarded Tony Larusa. But the

461
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: situation itself three zero positional player forty seven mile an hour.

462
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: IFA's pitch and it's fifteen to four. What would you

463
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: have done, Dan? I would really, I would have done

464
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: the guy through four pitches in twenty six seconds. Who's

465
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: gonna look at all right, let's just call the game.

466
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: All right, we got the mercy room. Let's just cancel

467
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: the game. Okay, there they got to bring in some

468
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: so we forfeit. Let's just go ahead and and quit.

469
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy, you know, the guy's up there,

470
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: he's trying to pat his stats. It doesn't there's no

471
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: rules anymore. I mean, those things you're doing. If Tony

472
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: gave him the staken it's just a simple you know,

473
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think how much any man managers

474
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: hits in the game at the time, except he knows

475
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: three and know that somebody shouldn't be swinging necessarily. Would

476
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: you have swung? No, John, probably, But if I, you know,

477
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: if I'd got to take sign obviously not back in

478
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: those days, I doubt it. I would have probably looked

479
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: in the dug out and Sparking would have went take one.

480
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: But Alex Graham's down at third base, he would have

481
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: been finding he would have flies to signing, and so

482
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, he hits home around on his next pitch,

483
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: which is now it's three and one, So is that

484
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: a bad time? I don't know. Are we just are

485
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: we just saying okay, remember when the Tatis said this.

486
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we've just been over this on

487
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: another time and it was doing this and it's just

488
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: it's just nowly you know, the young kids, not whatever.

489
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: And whether he's going to look for a sign at

490
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: this point, I don't. I'm not I don't have anything

491
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: of a problem with it, but I do have a

492
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: problem with him, you know, throwing at the guy you

493
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: know in the game and yeah, but Tony said, hey,

494
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: it's okay. I mean, basically, he gave the opposition the

495
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: green light to throw at his player the next game

496
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: because he said they're gonna be yeah. Yeah, you know

497
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: it was coming. Everybody knew it was coming. Everybody in

498
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: the world knew it was coming, you know. But the

499
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: kid gets kicked out of the pitcher, gets kicked out

500
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: of the game, and uh, you know it's I mean,

501
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: the kid was pitching a great game too, but you

502
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: know he's on It's sort of like everybody's watching you

503
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: in the dugout waiting for you to do it. Who

504
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: do we do what time do we do it? When

505
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: do we pick the guy? Who is the guy? Let's

506
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: get this guy? And if it was going to be

507
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: a problem, then Tony could have held him out of

508
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: the lineup. And but I think that you've also wanted

509
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: to prove a point to the kids, saying, hey, if

510
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: you do this, you know you got to face the consequences.

511
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: And this is probably what's going to happen. Yeah, but

512
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: I didn't thought at his head. He threw it behind

513
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: his back, down his legs and everything else. So yeah,

514
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: but Tony can't be making this public, Like why don't

515
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: you Tony's a Hall of Fame manager, Why didn't you

516
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: just say, look, we're going to keep it in house.

517
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this. It's a learning experience.

518
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: He's a rookie, he's talented, blah blah. He's basically saying, hey,

519
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's got to understand this. There's gonna be consequences.

520
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're in the clubhouse. Are clubhouse leaders supposedly

521
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 1: quote unquote leaders are saying, hey, you better expect what's coming. Okay,

522
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: you made a mistake, you did the wrong thing, and

523
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: the kids saying, well, I got a chance. They had

524
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: a three rund homer. I've got three more RBIs on

525
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: my list. I go into arbitration next year. I'm going

526
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: into arbitration. And my guy says, well, you know you

527
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: have ninety seven RBIs. Oh, that's right, you get that

528
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: three round homer. We're not going to count that. We're

529
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: not going to count that today. Where do you think

530
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: that players really care about that they're embarrassed to be

531
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: no hit in today's game? Oh gosh, yes, I don't.

532
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because the guys nobody puts the

533
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: ball in play. They're all swinging for a home run. Dan,

534
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: you're a basketball player, okay, you're a basketball player in golfer,

535
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 1: you don't you know? I mean, hey, come on, Johnny,

536
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: I threw a no hit. I had a home run

537
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: and in the astrodum off a kid and we were

538
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning, and I came in and Joe

539
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: Morgan gave me the biggest hug in the world because

540
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: the one thing he didn't want to be was no hit.

541
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: We got no hit twice one year by Rick Wise,

542
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: Rick Sonny Wise, and he had two home runs. I

543
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: was at the game, and did you I was there

544
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: at the Kenny Holtzman no hitter. Well, I think I

545
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: remember for some reason you're being there because I heard

546
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: you saying, for God's sake, Johnny. But and you and

547
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: you did in the seventh inning, you tried to bunt.

548
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: Am I right, yes, you tried to bunt. And Fritzie

549
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: has a problem with trying to bunt to ruin a

550
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: no hitter. Go ahead. Fritzie said to Johnny, Oh, he is,

551
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: he is. I just think that that's that's sometimes there's

552
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: a way that could even world. You have to stick here,

553
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: you have to turn around and to square around and bunt.

554
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: You're admitting the only chance we had of getting on

555
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: base is to just stick the bat out. That we

556
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: can't just you said it was. We can tell Johnny

557
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: that he was, and it's it's I don't pry that

558
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: don't work, don't work that angle. All right, I'm disappointed

559
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: to what happens. What happens now if I dropped a bunt,

560
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: we get a base hit, and now all of a sudden,

561
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: this guy is so rattled, the floodgates open and we

562
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: won the game. Or that's the only hit of the game,

563
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: and you're ruining the no hit. What happened with pitching, Fritzie?

564
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: If I was if you were pitching and I butted

565
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: on you, I would be off. Yeah, you'd have pick

566
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: and try to pick me off and hit me. Yeah,

567
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 1: you would have picked off. You wouldn't even throw him

568
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: to the first base and you just hit me in

569
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: the leg. You'd like to charge the mound right now,

570
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't you, Johnny. If Fritzie's on the mountain, you would

571
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: charge them. You know, Fritzie's been good to me. He's

572
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: never sent me a gift for all these times I've

573
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: been on and everything. Gift I get, no party gifts.

574
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: I get nothing from this. Wow. All I get is

575
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: Fritzie's got an idea. Fritzie. You know you got a

576
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: great microphone. Keep it. You know, it's it's what you

577
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: do best. Thank you. No, not not not really, not really,

578
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: But I told you I was at I was at

579
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: the game when Johnny tried to bunt to ruin ken Holt.

580
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: I was hoping you were wrong and that he wouldn't

581
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: stick the bat out to try to ruin it. Because

582
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: you think that Johnny is weak and soft that he

583
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: would do that to try to Johnny specifically, that that

584
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: particular play. Yeah, that was weak, and so Johnny was

585
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: weak by doing that. And I said, today's player, I

586
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: don't think is as concerned about getting no hit, just

587
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: like they don't care about striking out two hundred times.

588
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: Back then, you didn't want to strike out and you

589
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: certainly didn't want somebody to know hit you no, no,

590
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: hit no no. He goes in. And then the next

591
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: day Fritzie says, you believe that Red's got no right, right,

592
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: John Yeah, I'm disappointed. You're disappointed. That's what's the consensus

593
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: on the other day. Yes, mclovin, it's just so unfamiliar

594
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: to me because I'm a Phillies fan of like Mike

595
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: Schmid wouldn't even consider bunning, so I don't even wow

596
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: in my wheel, I wouldn't think about it. I'm gonna

597
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: tell Mike and Michael be proud you said that. But

598
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Mike would have dropped down about every now yeah yeah,

599
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: and Phillip fans would still be upset with Schmidt if

600
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: he even tried to do No matter what Schmidty did,

601
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: Philly fans didn't didn't like him, right, does he get

602
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: more male when he keeps saying I'm a Phillies fan,

603
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he has to say, you know,

604
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: but you're a rookie year and sixty eight would you

605
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: have would you have swung on a three zero pitch?

606
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you mean if you were told not to? No? No, no, okay,

607
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: oh no no no no no. Sixty eight they bristoled

608
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: Dave Bristol would have find me one hundred dollars and

609
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: they were and a half of my you on my

610
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: week salary. But they lowered the they changed the mount

611
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: after sixty eight. How how much of an advantage was

612
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: it for the pitchers that year? Well, they dropped it

613
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: down by what one or two inches I think it was.

614
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: And Gibson had just had that one one two era

615
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: and they're saying, we've got to get more all fans in.

616
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: And that's when the American League decided to go to

617
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: designate hitter. And now it's like every bomb is a bomb,

618
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: and you know, and you know, my buddy Mike Zannino,

619
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, they're talking about him. You know, either walk,

620
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: strike out, or hit a home run. And you know,

621
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: because these guys and there is no consequence. I mean,

622
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: I see guys, I look at the lineup. These guys

623
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: are hitting one fifty nine, one sixty seven. How are

624
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: they in the lineup? I mean in these days. It's

625
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: fine in our day because you know, they have the

626
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: earl weaver mentality at the three run homer, let's get

627
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: that going on the board. But in our day, you

628
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: were hitting anywhere close to two twenty. You were looking

629
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: over your you know, hoping when you got to the park,

630
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: your locker was still at a little uniform in it.

631
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: But they don't even have a Mendoza line now, because

632
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: Mendoza is actually a decent hitter in today's game. John,

633
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: the two hundred line, Yeah, I was talking to you,

634
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: I was talking to Euker the other day, because he's

635
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: got a lifetime I think two hundred or two or

636
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: six or whatever it is. But now we laugh about

637
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: it and everything else. But no, no, there's nothing out

638
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: there anymore there, says Mendoza or anything else. And two

639
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: hundred barrier. I mean, we had Lee Mate, Tony Perez

640
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: and I and we had if whoever struck out a

641
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: hundred times first, and we were trying to everything to

642
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: keep from doing that. Had to buy the other guy

643
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: bottles of champagne. I mean, that's you know, we were

644
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: serious about not reaching that hundred. We've got a guy

645
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: how many now probably has one hundred strikeouts already? Is

646
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: Gallow up there close? He might be? Do you realize

647
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: how far Earl Weaver would be great in today's baseball

648
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of egg up there and hit a

649
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: three run homer, that's all. That's all, Butcher, I mean,

650
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: you know, we had a guy named Don Hefner was

651
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: a manager called everybody Butch and he would sit at

652
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: that three run homer. Man and Earl would sit back

653
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: there and wait for somebody to do it. And of

654
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: course I think somebody was talking thinking about, you know,

655
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: you put a three runs on the board with that

656
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: Oriel staff, you're probably going to have a winner. And

657
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,479
Speaker 1: in those days, you know, palmer head twenty and kay

658
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: Are and mcmally and bat Dobson, you know it just

659
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: you know they had the pitching to do it, and

660
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: you can play for that one swing that would bring

661
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: you away. Offense was offense. Do you ever talked to

662
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: Brooks Robinson about that nineteen seventy World Series where he

663
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: caught everything and then caught things that even you know

664
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: but didn't seem humanly possible. We laugh every time. I

665
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: still want my HCO BELTI were. I want it back.

666
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: I want it back. He's robbed me. He robbed me.

667
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: Was good John, he was. He was unbelievable, like imagine

668
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: a field or changing the complexion of an entire world series. Yeah,

669
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy one, I mean the All Star Game,

670
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 1: I hit a bullet down down there and he caught

671
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: it just like it was nothing again. And I threw

672
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: up my arms that I threw up arms like that

673
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: as I'm running the first base and he's laughing all

674
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: the way as he's thawn it the first it was.

675
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: It was just amazing. And you know the thing, the

676
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: way he did it, he didn't do it with any

677
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: show or anything else. In the vacuum cleaner, you know.

678
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: And there were other great third base and she mentioned

679
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: Schmitty with Schmitty was about as good as they got

680
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: a third as well. And today you watch these guys

681
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: and their acrobats are on Otto and Chapman and guys

682
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: that are just enu. I mean, you know, you want

683
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: to look at averages. You know, Dan back in our

684
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: days you had these guys running the outfield. But these

685
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: guys are running nine five hundreds out there in the outfield.

686
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: They're catching everything, they're jumping over fences. They are such

687
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: athletes today. I can't imagine anybody ever hitting four hundred again.

688
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: I think the new line is probably three fifty or

689
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: three sixty. It's just these guys in the infield. They're

690
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: stealing base hits left and right. I mean, they're playing

691
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: so deep. They got the coverage they do that. They're acrobatic,

692
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: they steal balls down the line, they throw the ball

693
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: across the infield and a bullet. I mean, the watch

694
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 1: today's athletes. It's just totally incredible to me to see

695
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: the talents that they have. And a lot of that

696
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: was done with Ozzie. Ozzie became one of the leaders

697
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: of you know, being such an unbelievable fielder, and then

698
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: they followed with Fiscal and they followed with guys that

699
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: could do all this stuff. I mean, Ozzie gets a

700
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: lot of the credit, but these guys are taking so

701
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: much pride in their defense that they become just a

702
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: game changer. Every time you look up. Great to talk

703
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: to you. Sorry that Fritzie called you weak and soft,

704
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: but it's always great to talk to you. Fritzy, you

705
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: got my address, buddy, you better start sending us some

706
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: gifts somehow. That's the great Johnny Bench this is making up. Yeah. Thanks,

707
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: Fritzie called him out, called him weak. You called Johnny

708
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: Bench like that that trying to bunt the act of

709
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: doing that. I guess I couldn't hear that truck, you know,

710
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: when it normally beeps when it's backing up indirectly. I'm

711
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: calling Johnny Bench week. But I wrote a book report

712
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: about him in Elementary Score. I love john No, no no, no,

713
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't care. You called him weak. He said, that's weak.

714
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: It is. Let's take a break back after this. Thanks

750
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: you were watching on Peacock during the live looking we

751
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: showed the great Charles Groden, great actor who passed away,

752
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: and I think he's in maybe the best buddy movie

753
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: of all time, certainly one of the top five, maybe

754
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: top ten. He's with Robert de Niro. It's called Midnight Run,

755
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: and their chemistry is awkwardly entertaining. You know, you just

756
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: Charles Groden just had this ability to be able to

757
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: deliver a line in a way that nobody else could.

758

763
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: are other ones. Do you have? I'm trying to think

764
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis for those who are a

765
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: little bit older. Didn't they dress up like women something?

766
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe? Yeah? But who else would be in there

767
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,480

00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: him in Arcineo Hall. I guess see. I would argue

774
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: the balance isn't there, Like Arseneo is too small compared

775
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: to Eddie. You need them close. How about Tommy Boy?

776

Speaker 1: not funny? Yeah, just does buddy movie mean comedy? Um?

781
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: I would think so. Well, the word buddy being used,

782
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: it doesn't make it sounds like it can't be too serious. Yeah, yeah,
