00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: controversy surrounding Rose, the all time hit king, and we're

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why the media as usual has this

13
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: whole story wrong. And you know we're gonna tell that

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: to our guests, to a man who has never had

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: a good take in his entire life, longtime baseball writer

16
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: and even longer talker Rob Parker, horrible anyway. But first,

17
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: a message from our good friends at the United States

18
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: Postal Service. Do you use FedEx or UPS for your

19
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: shipping needs? What are you a trader? Yeah? Support the

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: government and send your packages through the US Postal Service.

21
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: You call me bastard. Yeah, USPS the shipping company for

22
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: real Americans. All right, there we go. Got that out

23
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: of the way. So let's get right into it right

24
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: now with our top story story controversy surrounding the all

25
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: time hit king, Phillies and Red's legend Pete Rose. Now,

26
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: on a recent Phillies broadcast, he was talking during the game,

27
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, telling the commentates a terrific story. It's a

28
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: great story. You know. He's talking about what his Red's

29
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: teammate Tony Perez said about hitting a fastball. Now, we're

30
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: gonna play this clip. Now. Before we do, we should

31
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: tell you that Mr Rose uses another name for a

32
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: man's genitalia pot and uh, you know you might find

33
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: it offensive if you happen to be an eight seven

34
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: year old grandmother. Yeah, buckle up, grandma and listen to

35
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: the hit game. Okay, let's roll that clip. I hit

36
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: it hi fastball. We will hold on the moment. Jake,

37
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 1: did did I hear that word bleeped? Yeah? Well, what's

38
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: going on? I can't say that word FCC regulations. What yes, Well,

39
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: can I say these words? You're a thing and of

40
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: a producer. Uh, you can't say those, Oh, unbelievable. It's

41
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: like we have the FBI up in here. Well, this

42
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: continues to prove that we are living in a country

43
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: where freedom of speech is being violated once again, until

44
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: if people like our producer grew up, they would see it.

45
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: There is absolutely nothing wrong with the phrase high fastball.

46
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: It is pure baseball terminology, goes way back, and in fact,

47
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: it shows us why Pete Rose is truly the all

48
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: time hit king. Isn't that right, Dony? It's shameful? What's

49
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: going on? Pete Rose just told us his secret to

50
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: winning what was it, twelve batting titles. He was so

51
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: afraid of a picture thrown at his car that he

52
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: learned how to hit everything in order to protect his

53
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: from getting destroyed. He was practicing the awe of self

54
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: defense and defense. You know, Tony, this is the PC

55
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: liberal media telling is what we can't and can't say.

56
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, for years now, they told us that we

57
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: should worry about an athlete's head. Okay, okay, but if

58
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: you ask us, and you ask Mr Fete Rose, the

59
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: head you should be worrying about is the one on

60
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: your Isn't that right? Don't he Ask any medical professional

61
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: and they'll tell you a concussion is serious. But what's

62
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: more serious is a cussion. I want suffered a cushion

63
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: during the kickball game back in sixth grade when I

64
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: caught a line drive right to my fazzle. And while

65
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: I still works like a machine, of course, don't get

66
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: me wrong, back then I couldn't play kickball for like

67
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: two days or something. That is just terrible. And you know,

68
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: on the subject, don't you know people in baseball they

69
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: love to talk so glowingly about Randy Johnson. You know,

70
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: they say it was such a great picture. No, he

71
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: was only good because he's scared bad as by a

72
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: m at that. You know, everyone in the sport knows.

73
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: He got the nickname the Big Unit. Not because he

74
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: was tall, as you know people like to tell you,

75
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: but because he was so big on throwing at guy's units.

76
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe people don't realize this. He literally wants

77
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: throw at a Remember when he threw a pitch at

78
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: that bird flying across the field. Boom explosion. Think about

79
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: the effect that had on bad as them having to

80
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: worry about dick exploding. Can't even imagine. But you know,

81
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: let's keep it moving. Move on to another big story

82
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: out of baseball. You know, we don't normally discuss Little

83
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: League on this show because you know, frankly, who cares.

84
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: But there's a video circulating from this Little League World

85
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: Series where this kid pitcher from Texas he plunks this

86
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: kid Batta from Oklahoma in the head. Now, the Batta

87
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: is fine and go is the first space, but the

88
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: picture starts crying because he's so upset by what he did.

89
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Now here's what happens next. The Bata calls dime, goes

90
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: to the mound and hugs the picture to console him. Now,

91
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: many of people saying, no, this is such a beautiful moment,

92
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: but I found it utterly disgraceful, didn't you, Tony? It's

93
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: one percent shameful. What are we teaching kids these days?

94
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: How do we expect the kid to be successful as

95
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: a picture in the major leagues if he can't feel

96
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: comfortable throwing directly at a player his head or also

97
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: that great point, Tony, you know, we all know if

98
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: you want to be a successful pitcher in the major leagues,

99
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: you have to throw out a bat his head four

100
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: or five times per game. It's how you established dominance.

101
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: Right again, I go back to Randy Johnson. He once

102
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: killed the live animal in the middle of a game.

103
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: That sent a strong message to the opposing battas. Yelp,

104
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: that let them know they could be murdered by a

105
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: fastball at a moment's notice. Yeah, exactly. And uh, by

106
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: the way, at that little league game after that quote

107
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: unquote unfortunate incident or whatever, Oklahoma, right, the team with

108
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: the battle who got hit, they went on to lose

109
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: that game by a mile. And you want to know

110
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: why because all those kid battas were afraid for their lives.

111
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: And you know you got to assume that, do right

112
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: A h alright, Well, to talk through all these stories,

113
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: I see our guest coming on the line there, so

114
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: let's bring him on the full SCO satellite network satellite alright.

Speaker 1: Here's I guessed. You know. He owes He owes the

117
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: All right. He's also a Hall of Fame voter for

118
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame, which cast doubt on the

119
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: whole voting process if you ask me. Anyway, let's just

120
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: bring him in here. Rob PoCA. Welcome to the show. Welcome.

Speaker 1: you must know the terminology. Be familiar with that. Don't

125
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: you think it's perfectly acceptable and fine for Pete Rose

126
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: to describe a fastball as kai not at all? Are

127
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: you kidding people? What? What's sensory? Are you guys in?

00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: It's appropriate description? Hi, belt is too high? You know

132
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: this is what made Pete Rose such a great hitter.

133
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: You know you can't get your hit. How are you

134
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: supposed to play baseball if you just got hit in

00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: I said, I was just saying if I were to

155
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: do that, but I don't think it's appropriate. You don't

156
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: need to unit that description. This is a nineteen forty

157
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: five or fifty five or sixty five. We're sophisticated. Now,

158
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: there's a better description than that. Oh yeah, you're so sophisticated.

159
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: The one talking about your being on the ground look

160
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: at you. Yeah, all right, you know, but don't you agree?

161
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you agree what Pete Rose was getting

162
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: that that if pictures would throw it at that's a

163
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: strategic advantage. It's a strategy. And he was saying that's

164
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: what they were doing. No, it's not a good strategy.

165
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: How about pitching off the outside of the of the

166
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: plate or the black of the plate? All right? Hold on.

167
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: You know who disagrees with you, Randy Johnson. They called

168
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: him then, and you know why, they called him the

169
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: big unit because he was so big. I'm throwing at

170
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: guy's units, you know, come by here an beside the

171
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: name because he was six ft eight. I thought that's why. No,

172
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: because you love throwing at people's only. All right, look

173
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: come on this, let's get do it here, just coming.

174
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: Don't you see where we're coming from. The Baseball world

175
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,000

190
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: great hitter, but he didn't win twelve batting titles? The

191
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,800

197
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: from throwing a player private parts or because he was tall.

198
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah it was he got it because when he was

199
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: on the expos he collided with Tim Rains and Rains said, quote, Damn,

200
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: you're a big Unit. Oh, yeah, well you have a

201
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: tiny unit if you catch my drift. Yeah, even the

202
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: great Randy Johnson wouldn't be able to hit such a

203
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: teeny weeny target. Yeah enough out of your I don't
