1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: The big dumper. Does it again?

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: Well, come in the beginning of our number two and

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: another multi home run game for cal Raley, who has

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: passed Salvador Perez by. He's now the king of dingers

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: for catchers. So has cal Raley also passed Aaron Judge

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: of the Yankees by in the American League MVP race.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that in a benching heard round the baseball world.

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: In the Bronx, the Yankees putting Anthony Volpi, their shortstop,

9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 2: on the bench for the Sunday night game. A win,

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: a rare win over the Boston baseball team. Is this

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: the beginning of the end for Anthony Volpi in the Bronx.

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: And the Dodgers avoided a sweep at the hands of

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: the Padres. What's the word for Dodger Stars show? Heil

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: Tani high fiving a Padre Heckler. He did it after

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: hitting a home run late.

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: In that game.

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that and more right now here. It

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: is our number two, A big dumper. Delight, Welcome in

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: the beginning of another.

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Hour of the Ben Mathers Show.

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: We are in the air everywares we huddle up and

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: go on a shopping spree, Coast to coast, border the

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: border and beyond on the mast and lip smackingly powerful

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: microphones of FSR ammnating live.

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: From the Whirlwind. It's just a whirlwind of whispers as

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: we try to avoid joining the drifters. Coast to coast

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and all that.

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: Good stuff from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: here as approved by the caller.

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: We had last our Big Balls Bob who won.

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: The Talent Show, which was a spur of the moment.

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: It was not really a talent show. It was a

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: karaoke thing that we did in Vegas. And this portion

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: of the Ben Mathers Show show on Fox made possible

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: forty years, that's two generations, TI ract has been helping

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: customers find the right tires for how, what and where

Speaker 2: they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road hazard

Speaker 2: protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tierraq

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: dot com.

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: The way tire Buying.

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: Show would be so our lead this hour is from

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: Baseball and we'll go to Seattle with the story everyone's

45
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: been yapping about.

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Here cal Raleigh doing it again.

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: The Mariners star cal Raley homer and his first two

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: at bats against Jacob Lopez of the Athletics. Not the

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: Sacramento Athletics, not the Oakland Athletics, not the Kansas City Athletics,

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: not the Philadelphia Athletics.

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: They're just the Athletics.

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: But that home run bonanza by cal Raleigh, he broke

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: the MLB record for home runs by a catcher in

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: a single season minimum seventy five percent of games played

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: as a catcher. So I assume you heard about that.

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: If you've been listening, you know about it. We've talked

57
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: about it and maybe not. But Salvador Perez of the

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: Royals had the previous record with forty eight home runs.

59
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: That was back in twenty twenty one. Man, it was

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: so long ago, like four or five years ago.

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Wow.

62
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: Now Raleigh has forty home runs this season while playing

63
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: behind home play, so forty home runs as a catcher.

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: So he's still technically not one but two home runs

65
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: away from that record. Just home runs by a catcher.

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: That was Hobby Lopez of the Atlanta Braves back in

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: the day forty two. The most ever, take that, Mike

68
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: Piazza and all those other catchers, they had a lot

69
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: of home runs back in the day. All right, so

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: let us discuss the question based on the latest developments.

71
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: Has cal Raley passed Aaron Judge by in the American

72
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: League MVP race. So I've got Google Maps, Airbnb, and

73
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: modern art, and we will combine all of these things

74
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: together and we will ring the bell.

75
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Again and again and again and again.

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: So number one, I said, number one. Yeah, So they're

77
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: in a dead heat at this point, right dead heat.

78
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: If you look at the American League MVP race down

79
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: the stretch we go. Here we are, it's late August,

80
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: the baseball season heating up. Boy, it's toasty hot most places,

81
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: and we're setting up for a photo.

82
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Finish like at the Kentucky Derby the very end there.

83
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: And if you look at where we're at, cal Raley's

84
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: got this record, the record as opposed to the Royals catcher.

85
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: He's got that.

86
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: He's gonna have the all time record. He's gonna hit

87
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: at least three more home runs this year unless he

88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: gets hurt, so he's gonna have the all time record.

89
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: And we know that catching is more difficult than playing outfield,

90
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: like Aaron Judges for the Yankees or Dhing which he's

91
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: been doing somewhat lately because of some injury stuff. So

92
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: the issue though, and this is the problem, and I

93
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: want that dope from Seattle to call up hate Kyl Roll.

94
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: We do the show today. We're worried about today's show.

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: So today, as we talk today, cal Raley is dead

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: even and even has a slight edge, a hair of

97
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: an edge over Aaron Judge.

98
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: The issue is Google Maps.

99
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: If you look at the geography, cal Raley plays, as

100
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: the old NFL coach Jimmy Johnson said back in the day,

101
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: he plays in southern Alaska. There's no workaround to that.

102
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: There is what about the Internet, There's no work around

103
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: you have. You have to overcome the geography and Aaron Judge,

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: all things being equal, Aaron Judge East Coast bias and

105
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: all that stuff. And also even in the age of

106
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: social media, Aaron Judge playing in New York and he's

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: got that superhero costume, the pinstripes. You know, good luck, right,

108
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: the tie will go to Judge. If it's even, the

109
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: tie goes to Aaron Judge. So Raleigh needs to be

110
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: a full head and shoulders ahead of Aaron Judge to

111
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: take home the American League MVP Award this year, and

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 2: the Yankees have a one game lead over the Mariners

113
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: if you look at the overall standings in a lost column,

114
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: a one game lead for the wild and now they're

115
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: both wildcard teams. But the Mariners are one game behind

116
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: the Yankees in the head to head standings.

117
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: Judge is on pace. He's on pace.

118
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: Didn't play well, particularly on that Sunday night game I

119
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: was watching. The Yankees did actually beat the Red Sox,

120
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: which I didn't think they could do anymore, but they did.

121
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: I was watching that game a little bit. The Yankees

122
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: have a one game lead, as I mentioned, Judge on

123
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: pace head to head with the Mariners. Judge on pace

124
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: for thirty two doubles, fifty home runs and one hundred

125
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: and fifteen RBIs now cal Raley is tracking for twenty

126
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: three doubles and he's also on pace to hit sixty.

127
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: I believe it's sixty one.

128
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: Home runs at this point and one hundred and thirty

129
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: one RBIs so so big time numbers there now.

130
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Page two, we stay in the.

131
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: Bronx and we we've talked about Aaron Judge, and we're

132
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: not gonna talk about Aaron Judge right now, because the

133
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: Yankees made a roster decision prior to that game with

134
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: the Red Sox on Sunday Night that raised some eyebrows here.

135
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: The Yankees have benched shortstop Anthony Volpi Sunday Night baseball.

136
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: He was out of the starting lineup.

137
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: He did get in the game as a defensive replacement late,

138
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: but he was no longer the starting shortstop for the

139
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: New York Yankees in their win against the Red Sox.

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: So the question is this the beginning of the end

141
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: for Anthony Volpi in the Bronx?

142
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: Is this it?

143
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: The Yankee shortstop Anthony Volpi there benched in that game

144
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: last night. So I'm gonna nod my head yes on

145
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: this one in terms of this being the end. We

146
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 2: did a rant about Anthony Volpi a couple weeks back,

147
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 2: and it's.

148
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Only gotten worse.

149
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: It's only gotten worse at this particular point, and the

150
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: Vulpy thing just isn't working. The message has been sent here.

151
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: The Yankees are trying to sell Vulpi. They've been trying

152
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: to sell them, and this is gonna all work out.

153
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: You know, he's got the hold, the roots, he's got

154
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: the backstory. Everyone loves the backstory and all that he's

155
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: the next Derek Jeter and all that, and what they've

156
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: got is they've got the equivalent of a version of

157
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: Windows Vista that is promised as this next big innovation

158
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, but it's actually just filled with

159
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: a virus. And that's what they got. The numbers don't like.

160
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: Vulpi is hitting too eight. Well, building average doesn't matter.

161
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter to some people.

162
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: Too eight.

163
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: He's a career two twenty two hitter, so he's barely

164
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: above the Mendoza line, which is terrible. And his ops

165
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: is in the six hundreds, which I'm told is not

166
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: particularly good. That is not Yankee shortstop material. It should

167
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: not be whether you have Derek Jeter or not. That

168
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 2: should not be the case there. That is where you're

169
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: playing in Central Park, playing softball, and that's where you

170
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: are with that kind of stat line. And he's got

171
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: more errors at this point then our friend Big Balls

172
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: Bob trying to get on the internet.

173
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of errors there.

174
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: And the Yankees fans have been living this mirage.

175
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: They're like, oh yeah, yeah.

176
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: Ever since Jeter retired, it's like, oh, we're gonna be

177
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: We're gonna find the next year it's flotsam and jets

178
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: them that they've had at shortstop.

179
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: They tried d D Gregorios. Howd that work out? Not good?

180
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: Glaber Torres. That was a bus. Now they have Volpi

181
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: who throws balls into the stands. He wants to give

182
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: everyone a souvenir. Does that a lot? Ball bounces in

183
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: the dart bounces in the crowd, the whole thing there,

184
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: And it's like the Yankees are running an airbn B.

185
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: It's an Airbnb for shortstops at this particular point. There's

186
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: a different guy every couple of years, every couple of years.

187
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: None of them seem to live up to the brochure.

188
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: And you know the photos and thero You sign up

189
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: for the Airbnb and you're like, all right, I'm gonna

190
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: stay there. And you show up and instead of the

191
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: presidential suite in the nice king sized bed, you're giving

192
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: a sleeping bag under an overpass. And that is you know,

193
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: it's indoor outdoor living, is what it is. Indoor outdoor living,

194
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: and that's it, and that's just not the way it's

195
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: supposed to go. It's like, you know, you're not in

196
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: Rancho Cucamonga. You're You're the New York Yankees and all that.

197
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: And if you stink for multiple seasons, which Volpi is there,

198
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: he costs them.

199
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: He helped cost them the World Series.

200
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: Now, I loved it when he was a stumblebom against

201
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in the fifth inning of Game five of

202
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: the World Series. Everyone focuses on Aaron Judge muffing the

203
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: ball in the outfield and Garrett Cole not making the play,

204
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: not covering first baseball.

205
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: How about Vulpi? He booted a ball.

206
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 2: In that World Series also, So the guy's a bust

207
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: with a capital B at this point, and you go

208
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: out and replace him. Now they can't do anything now.

209
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: The trade deadline's pass, so they're stuck with what they have.

210
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: The Yankees, good luck on that all right now. Final

211
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 2: point to San Diego we go where the pot did

212
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: not did not sweep the Dodgers, but the Dodger offense

213
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: very limp over the weekend there in San Diego. The

214
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: Dodgers did rally back to beat the Podres in the

215
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: game that was played on Sunday to avoid the old sweep.

216
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: The old sweepero at the hands of the Fish tacos.

217
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: There was something that happened the game within the game.

218
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: Here they caught my attention and got a lot of buzz,

219
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: a lot of attention. So I don't know I saw

220
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: the highlight or heard about the highlight or not. The

221
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: Dodgers were getting smoked early.

222
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: In the game. Not smoke, but they were down.

223
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: They had a futile offense all week, and they came

224
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: back and they got a little bit of insurance late

225
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: when shohy Otani connect. And the story is about that

226
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 2: home run. So there was a Padre fan who was

227
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: sitting right next to the Dodger dugout in San Diego,

228
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: and this guy was busting the balls of show a time,

229
00:11:54,760 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: busting his chops all series, and Otani was horrific. He

230
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: had ten at bats, He was zero for ten for

231
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: the Dodgers against the Padres in this Showdown NL West

232
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: matchup prior to that home run.

233
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: So he was doing.

234
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely bupkus for the Dodgers up until then. And then

235
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: finally what happens. He goes Deepits a home run. There

236
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: you go. And what did Otani do after the home run?

237
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: He gave the guy a high five. He gave the

238
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: guy a high five. So what is the word? Here's

239
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: the question, what is the word for Dodger star shohe

240
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: O'tani high fiving a heckler wearing podre merch? All right,

241
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,239
Speaker 2: so my word is refreshing with a capital R. Refreshing

242
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 2: with the capitol R. Here's why. I'll tell you why,

243
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: because how many stories have we done over the last

244
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: couple of years about athlete X losing their mind, losing

245
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: their mind because somebody was heckling.

246
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: Them and they crossed still line. This is not right

247
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: and all it.

248
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 2: So I found it refreshing that rather than have the

249
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: fan escorted out of the stadium, which Otani could have done,

250
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: all Otani had to do was tap on the shoulder

251
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: of the security guy and that would have been it

252
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: for the heckler. So it was refreshing that Otani did

253
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 2: not do that. Most of these guys today seem to

254
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: be very thin skinned, and they're very touchy and hyper

255
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: sensitive to all the noise and all this stuff, and

256
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: anybody boos them boom. We used to have a guy

257
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: called boom Man that called the show back of the boom.

258
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: And normally what happens is if you boost certain of

259
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: the players these guys will immediately contact stadium security like

260
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: a mall cop and get that person out of there.

261
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: You're done, and all that stuff.

262
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: And so to me, heckling it is modern art when

263
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: done properly. It should be hung in an museum when

264
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: you're able to heckle properly and get a player off

265
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: his game a little bit. And I said, well, this

266
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: is this backfire? Well did it backfire? Otni had one

267
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: home run. The entire series was zero for ten prior

268
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: to that at bad but this is a masterpiece. It's

269
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: like Picasso or Warhol, one of the great painters there.

270
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: And you get in the player's head, you rasm right,

271
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: give him a hard time, and then that's what he

272
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: players pretend like, I don't hear it. I got my

273
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: earmuffs on, I'm not hearing what's going on there. And

274
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: then you end up hitting a home run like Otani,

275
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: and Otani, you'd think he'd be relieved because that really

276
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: cemented the game for the Dodgers, and they were about

277
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: to get swept by the Padres if they had not

278
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: come back in that game. But he wasn't seemingly overjoyed

279
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: because he hit the home run that helped guarantee the

280
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers got to win. He was happy because you got

281
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: to put a cork in the heckler's mouth. That's what

282
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: he was happy about. That's great, Like, thank god, I

283
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: finally got one. That's the way to do it.

284
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: Now. The pottery fan basically pushed him into the hole. Run.

285
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: It was all over Otani. It was great and finally

286
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: he connected on one, and that's that's how it ended.

287
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: But this is not This is not the way it

288
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: normally goes done. So many of these stories where it's

289
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: like this guy's gotta get kicked out, that guy's gotta

290
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: get kicked out, it's like, what are.

291
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: We doing here?

292
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: In fact, there was a time for players it was emasculating.

293
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: If you had a fan kicked out, it was like

294
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: a badge of honor, the heckling that would be going

295
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: on back in the day. And then so it's it's different.

296
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: But the the boo birds are chirping, that is a

297
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: sign of honor. That is not a something to be

298
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: upset about. You should be honor Eddy. As the old

299
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: line goes, they don't boot nobody's right. You're gonna be

300
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: good to get booed and so there's Oltani the face

301
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: of major League baseball, not even close the face.

302
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: Of major League baseball.

303
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: You got Otani out there working his magic, hitting a

304
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: home run, and then that fans, you know, some guy

305
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: making normal, normal dough.

306
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: And he ends up getting you know, Tani's head.

307
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: So that is a w for the heckler and also

308
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: inspiration for other hecklers around major League baseball.

309
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: When the playoffs get going here in a month and the.

310
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: Dodgers, whether they win the division or the wild card team,

311
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: they're going to be in the playoffs somewhere, and then

312
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,520

Speaker 1: You know the.

565
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 9: Division is going to get decided in the next three games,

566
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 9: and you know, some a lot of this may be

567
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 9: about strength to schedule, but you know, when the Mariners

568
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 9: played the Padres already this here because they're supposedly quote rivals,

569
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 9: they swept San Diego in Petco and you know, Padre's

570
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 9: got to go up now to a crazy hot Mariners

571
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 9: team and the Dodgers are going to be hosting the

572
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 9: Reds the rest of the way through. After these next

573
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 9: three games, the Dodgers have only six games against teams

574
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 9: that give a crap. Everybody else is already basically eliminated.

575
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: Chris hold On, didn't the Dodgers just lose a couple

576
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 2: of games in Colorado this week?

577
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: This past week? Have you lose a Rocks?

578
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 9: All right, that's fine, they split Colorado, But we took

579
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 9: four out of six from the Padres, bang, bang, bang,

580
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 9: right back to back.

581
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: You think that was it?

582
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 3: Wait?

583
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: Wait, Chris, you think that was a good weekend? That

584
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: the Dodgers looked good this weekend?

585
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 9: I think that the first two games, I think they

586
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 9: look like crap. But they won four out of six

587
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 9: week week.

588
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.

589
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you you're you're very optimistic. I mean,

590
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: you are very You're very optimistic. You're more optimistic than

591
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: I am. I look at this Dodger team. I mean,

592
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: that's not a championship team. That does not look like

593
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 2: a championship team to me. It doesn't well, you know,

594
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: you know.

595
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 9: We'll see what happens in the postseason. But just in

596
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 9: terms of the Padres catching up, we beat them nine

597
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 9: to thirteen. We got the tie break. You know, if

598
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 9: if the Mariners take two out of three and the

599
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 9: Dodgers take two out of three, well, now they're not

600
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 9: going to be able to catch back up. There's just

601
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 9: no way. You look at who who's going to be,

602
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 9: you know what each team's got to do the rest

603
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 9: of the way through. I mean, if you think the

604
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 9: Dodgers are going to collapse playing against the White Sox

605
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 9: and the Rockies again and all that, yeah, I don't.

606
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 9: I don't see that happening.

607
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the lineup there putting out there, even with

608
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: ough Tany and Freeman and Betts, there's a lot of

609
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: that backside of that lineup is terrible. So horrific lineup.

610
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: But anyway, I thank you. That was a hard old

611
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: baseball call. Tree is what that was hard? Now?

Speaker 6: No?

782
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: Sant Luis Obispo is in central California on the way

783
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: to San Francisco off.

784
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: Highway one, Highway one on one.

785
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a bad job, bad geographical knowledge by you?

786
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: Wow?

787
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 6: All right?

788
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 8: What else?

789
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 6: Do we have?

790
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: A page down? And Miguel on Fire love Tree And

791
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 2: here's a great job by Tree.

792
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: What can Brown do for you? All right? Enough of

793
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: that turn your mic back on. Here we go.

794
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 2: It's time now for the insta trivia payoff. A blank

795
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: now has five explosive receptions sixteen or more yards in

796
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: the last three games all NFL receivers during the exhibition games,

797
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: which are now done.

798
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 8: It's gotta be Serena Williams.

799
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: Serena Williams are really explosive receptions for Serena. No, that

800
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: is a correct someone named Brennan Presley, I ams, you

801
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: can ram at all day and you can all night.

802
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: Here we are, Miller. How about that?

803
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 3: To the third degree, this is one big gets grilled.

804
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: Here we all and to the coop a loop for

805
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: the questions the quiz that we call mallard of.

806
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: The third degree.

807
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 8: The Phillies announced on Saturday the starting pitcher Zach Wheeler

808
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 8: will miss the remainder of the season.

809
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: Yes, he could have died. People die from blood Clott's coop.

810
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: They die from blood clots.

811
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 8: Yes, Ben, How big of a blow is this for

812
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 8: the Phillies World Series hopes?

813
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: Well, it sucks.

814
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: However, the Phillies I am convinced if they're gonna do

815
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: anything here, it's going to be based on their offense.

816
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: I don't think that's an outrageous take. Oh, you're really

817
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 2: a shock jock with that take. No, they remember a

818
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: couple years ago they got the World Series and then

819
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: they stopped hitting. But you've got a lineup that is

820
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: absolutely stacked with Trey Turner, Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, jt

821
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: Riamuto at the top. Those top four hitters are among

822
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: the top hitters in all of the National League, all

823
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: the baseball So they score runs. They've got enough pitching.

824
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: Oh you're you're crazy. No, Sanchez has been wonderful this year.

825
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: He's their number one now with Wheeler out, Lozardo is

826
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: not terrible, and Rangel Suarez has had some moments. So,

827
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: I mean, there's some other guys in there, Taiwan Walker

828
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: and whatnot. But I don't think this eliminates the Phillies

829
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: by any means.

830
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: It makes it a little more difficult.

831
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: It makes it a better story for the Phillies to

832
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 2: get to the World Series. I look at the National

833
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,479
Speaker 2: League as wide open. The Dodgers are beatable. Not only

834
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: the Podres are invincible by any means. Here you look around,

835
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: the Brewers look good, but can they do it in

836
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs? Trees, Cubs So, to answer your question, Coop,

837
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: it hurts, but it's not. It's not a kill shot

838
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: for the Phillies.

839
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: Next.

840
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 8: Over the weekend, the Vikings traded backup quarterback Sam Howell

841
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 8: and signed Carson Wentz.

842
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: The great former Ram Carson Wentz.

843
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 8: Right, well, yeah, a lot of people are calling this

844
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 8: an upgrade at backup, isn't it?

845
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: No, it is a lateral move.

846
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: It is not an up good I'm actually a ran

847
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 2: More about this later. Carson Wentz has been washed up

848
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 2: for five years, six years, and he still gets jobs

849
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Wouldn't that be great if you're you

850
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: proving you're not good at your job and he gets

851
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: bounced around.

852
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: He's played for the Eagles.

853
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: Colts, Commanders, Rams, Chiefs, and now the Vikings since twenty twenty.

854
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: Either way, the Vikings are putting all their chips in

855
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: the JJ McCarthy basket.

856
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: We all know that, right.

857
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: If McCarthy sucks, they're cooked. They're absolutely cooked. It's not

858
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: like they're in better shape if Carson Wentz gets it

859
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: there in place. It's not like all of a sudden,

860
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 2: oh we're in good shit, we got Carson Wentz.

861
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: We're ready to go. Come on, all right.

862
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 8: Next, Paul Skin's just the way gem in this fiftieth

863
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 8: start the Majors and now has the second lowest ere

864
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 8: of any pitcher in the Live ball era through fifty starts.

865
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 8: But do you think the Pirates are going to waste

866
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 8: a generational talent much like the angel did with Mike Trout?

867
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: Well, waste you mean, but Trout's still there.

868
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 8: They're just not winning. I Otani would be the better

869
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 8: comp right, because the Trout's already wasted. He's a thirty

870
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 8: four now.

871
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: But Otani.

872
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 2: They got nothing for Otani. They just let Otani leave

873
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 2: in free agency. They could have traded Otani like Paul Skans.

874
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: The Pirates are going to end up trading him in

875
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: the next couple of years, right, So they're not gonna

876
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: get nothing for him. Are they gonna win the Pirates? No,

877
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: that's another team. There's a lot of teams in baseball coupe.

878
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 2: Good ballpark, bad team. The Pirates are on that good ballpark.

879
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: The Giants, now, we had that our buddy, the Giant

880
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: fans showed up to that meet and greet the ugly

881
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 2: orange Giant hat on. I said, good good ballpark, bad team.

882
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: The Pirates are on that list. But no, they're not

883
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 2: gonna win. They'll win when Paul Skans pitches, and then

884
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 2: when he doesn't pitch. You know it's and then every

885
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 2: once in a while you get a team that because

886
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 2: they have so many terrible seasons, they get all these

887
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: collection of young players at the same time. But no,

888
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: I'm they're gonna They're not gonna win anything in Pittsburgh

889
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: with Paul Skeins while he's there, and he'll go pitch

890
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: for the Yankees or the Dodgers of the Red Sox

891
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: or someone like that, or mystery team, and then he'll

892
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: go on and find glory somewhere else. All right there,

893
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: it is Mallard of the third degree. How did we do.

894
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 8: You pass this edition?

895
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: That is a pass?

896
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, So so we had we had Tree, and I

897
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 2: gave Tree the ten centaur of the Fox Sports Radio studios.

898
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 2: I pointed out, I said, that's where the cockroaches die.

899
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 2: I said, that's the room where wrong button Bob turned

900
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: the entire network off. Right over there, there's a button.

901
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 2: We don't know which button he pressed, but there's a button.

902
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 2: I said, here's the vending machine, which used to be cheap.

903
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: And then one of the one of the board ops

904
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: complained and they raised the prices. He's not here anymore,

905
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: so I don't know his name. I forget his name.

906
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. But that's a bad

907
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: job by him, bad job by him.
