We will address in the B block 40 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: the B for bad B for bad Dodgers on the field. 41 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: But another day, another scandal. Now, this story blew up. 42 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: We had mentioned this in a previous episode of the show, 43 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: and it took a life of its own in the 44 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 2: hours since we talked about it, and we just tossed 45 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: it out here. It is it's like a boomerang, it's 46 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: come back again. So if you don't know where I'm 47 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: going with this, Shohei Otani and his agent, Nez Batlello 48 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 2: probably butchering the name. But he has been sued. The 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: agent and Otani, they've both been sued. That's what you 50 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 2: need to know about this. And essentially the argument is 51 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: that they screwed over a big real estate company, couple 52 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: of big muckety MUCKs in the real estate world in Hawaii, 53 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: costing these people hundreds of millions of dollars. The lawsuit 54 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: filed in the Circuit Court of Hawaii where everyone wears 55 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: Hawaiian shirts. This happened actually last week, but the story 56 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: just came out in the last couple of days, and 57 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: as we've said, it's bounced all over the echo chamber here. 58 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: It's kind of a big deal. 59 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: In the actual legal documents, the plaintiffs claim that Otani 60 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: and his agent are saboteurs. They sabotaged a two hundred 61 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: and forty million dollar real estate venture and they had 62 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: all entered into this and ix nay on the DLA, 63 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: according to the lawsuit, and they're pointing the finger at 64 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: the Dodger star who was supposed to endorse and promote 65 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: this real estate project which was actually located on the 66 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: Big Island. That's the one that not many people go to, 67 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: the Big Island. The sinse deleted website, which at one 68 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: point was booming boom it for the project said that 69 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: Otani would buy a home in this part of Hawaii 70 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 2: and the Big Island and act as a quote celebrities 71 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: spokesperson and build a baseball workout facilities on the Big Island, 72 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 2: clearly trying to get some of that money from Japan 73 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: to invest in the Big Island of Hawaii. You don't 74 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: have to be a business mogul to know what this 75 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 2: is all about. So let us discuss the question. You 76 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: take a couple of steps back and you look at 77 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: what has happened with Otani the last couple of years 78 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: as he's joined the Dodgers, and you have to ask 79 00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: the question with the latest legal issue, is show hal Tani. 80 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: Clueless or is he ruthless? All right, those are the 81 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: only options. 82 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 2: Clueless is over here and ruthless is over here, So 83 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 2: which one is it? So my observations, I've got teflon 84 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: construction site and Donkey Kong and we will combine all 85 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: of these things together and we are going to give 86 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: you billable hours, which Otani is spending a lot of 87 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: money on billable hours. 88 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: So number why that number? Why? 89 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 3: So? 90 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: Assuming the position it's either or one or the other, 91 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 2: the only two options are Otani is clueless or he's ruthless. 92 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: Those are the only options. This is like that old aloha. 93 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Means hello and. 94 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: Goodbye thing, except this version of aloha means good bye 95 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: to your money. I buy aloha to your money. And imagine, 96 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: if you will, buying this group that had all this land, 97 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: this ocean front property in the Big Island there and 98 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: then finding out that there was a surprise lava flow. 99 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 2: Now this lava flow was not from an actual volcano 100 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: on the Big Island. It was from Shoeotani and all that. 101 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: So it kind of sounds like that's what's happening. But 102 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: the answer the question, the arrow on this one is 103 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: pointing towards Otani as ruthless. Right, There's a lot going on, 104 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: like we are not getting the full story here. There's 105 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: a lot of people that are writing the coattails of 106 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: sho Haotani. 107 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: We're not getting what's really going on. 108 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that are toe lickers, as 109 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: I like to call them, that are the beneficiaries of 110 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: the star power of Otani. But I'm just on the sidelines. 111 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: I'm just observing what's been going on the last couple 112 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: of years. Just looking at what's been going on. This 113 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: is another star that's got a lot of stuff going on. 114 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: There's a lot of issues here and it's always been 115 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: that way. Like Michael Jordan was addicted to gambling. There 116 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: were some legendary stories that came out after Jordan played 117 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: for the Chicago Bulls about some of his dalliances with 118 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: the ladies. Babe Ruth was a legendary womanizer with the Yankees. 119 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: Barry Bonds was a complete douche and also like the Peds, 120 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: he blew himself up. Looked like a parade in the 121 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. There thanks Thanksgiving Parade with Macy's, 122 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: and they all played and they had their careers and 123 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: all that. But everyone's got some dirt on them. Andy's 124 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: got some dirt on them. And I also believe everyone's 125 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: got multiple personality. No one's Mother Teresa all the time, 126 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 2: and no one's the devil all the time. Right, you're 127 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: somewhere in the middle and the guy that you see 128 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: hitting bombs and he had another home run. Dodgers suck, 129 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: so they lost to the pathetic Angels again, embarrassing. These 130 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: guys don't even care. More on that in a minute, 131 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: But it was about Autoni. So he had a home 132 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: run late Dodge. Of course, Bullpen came in and vomited 133 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: all over the mound and gave the game to. 134 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: The Angels and extra innings. 135 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: So Otani hits home run and you think he's reading 136 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: the fine print. So the argument is gonna be, well, 137 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: Tani's a big star and his agent took care of this, 138 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: and you think he's reading real estate contracts on Hawaiian 139 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: real estate. Come on, you think he's sitting there reading 140 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: the zoning laws for the big island of Hawaii. Of 141 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 2: course not please, right, So then they'll they'll argue he's 142 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: just clueless. He's just a dumb dumb is what they're 143 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: going to say. But you combine everything together and you 144 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: see patternicity. You see the lawsuit that took place, and 145 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: you can sue anyone for anything. There's also a gambling 146 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: scandal that was taking place while he was with the Angels, 147 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: and there's a buddy of his that's in jail for 148 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: a few years there, who took the hit on that? 149 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: And so Otani is looking like the teflon don. 150 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: In all this. 151 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: And the bigger point, and the point I'm trying to 152 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 2: get at, is he is so massive in that industry. 153 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 2: He's too big to fail. That Otani is the single 154 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: most important player in Major League Baseball in at least 155 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: fifty years, likely a lot longer than that. And you're 156 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: not letting a real estate deal doing Otani. You're not 157 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: letting a gambling scandal. I don't care if he's betting 158 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: seventeen parlays in the dugout. They're not gonna have Otani 159 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 2: go down for that. And so this will end up, 160 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 2: as I look into my crystal ball, it will end 161 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: up as a misunderstanding is a misunderstanding. There'll be some 162 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 2: kind of charity donation, and you'll see some commercials on 163 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball broadcast. They'll call him a show he 164 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: or a loja show a and that they'll do that 165 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: whole thing. I learned one of my professors years ago. 166 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: There was a professor named Chris Carter. He may or 167 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 2: may not have played for the Minnesota Vikings, and he 168 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 2: taught me, Chris Carter taught me, you gotta have a 169 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: fall guy, gotta have a fall guy. 170 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: So guess what. The fall guy. 171 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: Originally was Otani's personal assistant, but he's translator guy. But 172 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: he's in jail so she can't use him again. So 173 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: let's see who's the fall guy gonna be. Let's do 174 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 2: some inventory. We'll look around. Who's the fall guy, and 175 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 2: let's see reveal answers, reveal answers. The fall guy here 176 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: is going to be anyone other than Otani, anyone and 177 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: everyone other than Otani. So will anything come of this? 178 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: I think I've made my point. I don't need to 179 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 2: flog the dead horse here. Not a damn thing will 180 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: come out of this. Otani will just smile and nod 181 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: his head and then go out and. 182 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: Hit fifty home runs. He's got forty three. 183 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: Home runs now, so hit fifty and the lawsuit will 184 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: go abra cadabra and will vanish like a my tie 185 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: at a traditional Hawaiian luau. Just gone see you later, 186 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: all right now, staying with the Dodgers, and we're gonna 187 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: get to the play on the field a minute. I 188 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: saw some other comments here. That got my attention in 189 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: recent days, and I wanted to bring them up. The 190 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: Dodgers have a shortstop, not a good one. You want 191 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 2: a two forty shortstop that sucks. Mookie Bets is your guy. 192 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: So Moogie Bets, who's been an abject failure for the 193 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers. But in the LA media they won't 194 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: call him out on that. Guys like David Vasse will 195 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: kiss his ass. So Mookie Bets very disappointing here in 196 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, and he said of this season he 197 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 2: was concerned about the Hall of Fame. He said, once 198 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: again in the Hall of Fame one day and this 199 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: will be a blemish on his Hall of Fame resume. 200 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: That was one of the quotes that Mookie Bets had recently. 201 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: How does that one hit you? All? 202 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: Right? So, Moki spoiler alert. If you're talking. 203 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: About the Hall of Fame right now, you have another 204 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: gazillion years on your Dodger contract, right and it's like 205 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 2: you're already shopping for a retirement condo in Boca and 206 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: you still got a job to do. Like the Hall 207 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: of Fame is last I heard Lifetime Achievement Award, and 208 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: that's for when you're sipping lemonade in the rocking chair 209 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: and you're sixty five years old and you're telling your grandkids, 210 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: back in my day, I went six for six at 211 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: Coors Field one day. 212 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: That's what you do. 213 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 2: Right now, you are in the middle of the Big 214 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: Blue Marathon and you are one of these central reasons 215 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: your team sucks. Mookie bets congratulations, and you're worrying about 216 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: the ribbon. You're running the marathon and you're just beginning 217 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: the marathon and you're worried about the finish line ribbon. 218 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: I wonder what color it is. Spoiler alert. 219 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: You still have thirteen point one miles to go. You're 220 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: halfway home, and let's I check. Baseball's not social media. 221 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 2: Nobody really cares if you look good in the snapshot. 222 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: They don't. 223 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: And it's think of it like a construction site. You 224 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 2: build your legacy brick by brick, right, brick by brick, 225 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: day by day, inning by inning, and you can also 226 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: tear apart your legacy at the same time. So you're 227 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: out there, Mookie, you're stressing because you're on the construction site. 228 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: You're worried about the blueprints while the cement truck hasn't 229 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: even parked yet. Your priorities are a little off on this, 230 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 2: and you know, it's like you're acting like a pilot 231 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: flying around. And the concern is while the in flight 232 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: movie has not started playing, it's supposed to play, but 233 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: yet you're in the cockpit and the plane losing altitude. 234 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: That's what's going on. The Dodger plane is losing altitude 235 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 2: right now, and you're worried about what the in flight 236 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 2: movie is and when it's gonna be played during the flight, 237 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 2: and so betts By, any way, you slice. 238 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: It is terrible. Listen, well, is he gonna be terrible forever? 239 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 3: No? 240 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: Right, I'm doing a show right now. Today. He sucks. 241 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: He's horrible, right, the worst season of his career, going 242 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 2: back to his days in Boston and the lowest ops 243 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: of his career. He's a two forty hitting shortstop who 244 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: will often make mistakes on routine plays, and one hundred 245 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: points lower than his previous career low. So that's not 246 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: even just a little bit worse. That's like, that's like 247 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 2: falling into the Grand Canyon. Is how bad that is? 248 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: And you've got to grind through the bad years like that. 249 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna be'd be great, and you're judged on the 250 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame by your whole career and you don't 251 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: worry about it. And Willie Mays had bad years and 252 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: Ricky Henderson had some very mid years and they still 253 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: got their little play black and sleepy Cooperstown. They got 254 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: that going for them. And you're worried about like a smudge, 255 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: Mookie Batcher, You're like, why a little smudge in my 256 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: suit here? And you're not even at the banquet, Like 257 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: you're not even there yet, So who cares? All? Right? 258 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: Now? 259 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: Final point? We go to New York City, the Big Apple. 260 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: A lot of chattering baseball because Pete Alonso the Polar Bear, 261 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: ended up breaking the New York Metropolitans franchise home run record. 262 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: As he said see a later straw and zoom past 263 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 2: Darryl Strawberry with career home run number two fifty three. 264 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: So Pete Alonzo has passed Darryl Strawberry by in the 265 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 2: Mets record book. However, has Pete Alonzo also passed Darryl 266 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: Strawberry by in the hearts minds of the met Fan? 267 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: Answer this like I'm playing Wheel of Fortune. I'm gonna 268 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: answer this like I'm playing Wheel of Fortune, so I'd 269 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: like an N, and can I buy a vowel? I 270 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: would like to buy an oh? 271 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: So I want an N. I want to buy a vowel. 272 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: I'd like to have an O and spariler alert put 273 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: those together, slap those together. 274 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: And that's what was that? Spell No? That spells It 275 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: spells no. That's what it's about. 276 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: No is what it'sst So Peter Alonzo is the Mets masher, 277 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: the monster Mets masher right now, He's at the top 278 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: of the record book. And isn't that special? Isn't that cute? 279 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 2: That's adorable, Peter Alonzo, mister home run derby guy, Pete Alonzo. However, however, 280 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: you do a side by side comparsion, you're talking about 281 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: Darryl Strawberry. Darrel Strawberry was not a great postseason player. 282 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: He hit one of the big home runs for the Mets, 283 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: if you remember, if you're old enough or you went 284 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: back and watch the eighty six playoffs. 285 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: But this is not a moment where you're passing the torch. 286 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 2: This is not Auberry symbolically passing the mantle to Peter Alonzo. 287 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: It's just not. 288 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 2: And it's like saying, well, broccoli is going to replace 289 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 2: donuts as a food that sells at the county Fair. 290 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: We're going to sell more broccoli this year than donuts. 291 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: Broccoli will be more popular. Well, no, obviously not. They're 292 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 2: not even the same food group for people to go 293 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: to the fair. And Peter Alonzo's broccoli, obviously, and strawberry 294 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 2: is a nice donut. And Daryl was not just a 295 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 2: guy hitting those home runs back, you know, a million 296 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 2: years ago. Forty ye, I can't believe it. Forty years 297 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: almost has been. But he well just hitting the home run. 298 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 2: Think about strawberry, and I'm not he sucked it with 299 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 2: the Dodgers. 300 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: It was embarrassing. He was doing more coke than hitting 301 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: the baseball when he was with the Dodgers. 302 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: But he was the straw Darrow Strawberry that stirred the 303 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: big apple cocktail. 304 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he was it. 305 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: And you know he did everything, hit home runs, he'd 306 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 2: throw guys out, He you know, snorted cocaine off of 307 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 2: Hooker's took us the whole thing, playing for those eighty 308 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: eighty nineteen eighties Mets. 309 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: And uh, smooth swing, I just smooth. 310 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: Elegant watching Strawberry swing the bat and brought the drama tablet. 311 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: Him and Dwight Gooden. We're always in the tableaus, back 312 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 2: before social media. So and it's just the eighty six Mets. 313 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 2: They were parabolic, the eighty six Mets. Here and you 314 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 2: think about wild Bill Hitcock with a bat in his hands, 315 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: a mythical character there and a poker chip in the 316 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 2: other hand. And you got Daryl Strawberry. He was like 317 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: Donkey Kong, launching barrels for the for the Mets, and 318 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 2: he got the lines. And listen, Pete Scott as many 319 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 2: home runs as Strawberry. You know, he's a home run 320 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: king for the Mets right now and all that stuff. 321 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 2: I just look at him, like a lot of empty calories. 322 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: Is that fair? I think that's fair. There's a lot 323 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: of empty calories. Pet Alonso hitting home runs and. 324 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: He's like eating a big supersized box of Twinkies, Like, 325 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: all right, you ate the twinkies. That's good, it tastes good. 326 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: You're feeling pretty good at the moment you're eating them. 327 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: And then when you take some time and they settle 328 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: into your stomach and you're sitting there and you're wondering, man, 329 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: what did I eat, What did I do? 330 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: Like? 331 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: What is that the Mets have not reached the peak 332 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: of the mountains since nineteen eighty six the last that 333 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: eighty sixteen, the last time they went. Pete Alonzo was 334 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 2: born in nineteen ninety four, eight years after they had 335 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: their last championship as the Mets. And is he a 336 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: talented guy? Yes, of course, pet A Lonzo is a 337 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: talented player. And it's cool that he did a lot 338 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 2: of the home run derby's and all that stuff, where 339 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 2: a lot of these other a lot of these other 340 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 2: dingle Berries would not do it because they're are bosses 341 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: and Alonso would be in it, and that's great. 342 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: And has he hit some home runs in the playoffs?

Now one 474 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 2: of the things that bothers me. There's a lot of 475 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: things that bother me. I'm a talk shows, so a 476 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 2: lot of things bother me. But in terms of the 477 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: Dodgers universe, here there is this arrogance that the Dodgers have, 478 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: and I know they won't the World Series and all that, 479 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: but it just drives me bonkers how good this team 480 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 2: could be, how good this team should be, and how 481 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: much they're none of those things right, They're just a 482 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 2: bad baseball team. And I have gone by the mantra 483 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 2: that you are what your record says you're. I didn't 484 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 2: come up with that, and Bill Parcells came up with that. 485 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 2: But you are with your records. It doesn't matter what 486 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 2: people wrote about you on the internet before the baseball 487 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: season and everyone gave you a shoulder rub and a 488 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 2: bubble bath because you got all the good players in 489 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: the offseason. 490 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: Oh man, we you know in the World's Three. It's 491 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: not about that. Uh, it's about what you actually do. 492 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: And if you go back to July fourth, fireworks in 493 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 2: the air everywhere July fourth. The Los Angeles Dodgers have 494 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 2: played thirty two games since July fourth, and they have 495 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: only won twelve of them. They're twelve and twenty. Now 496 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: that's bad. How bad? Is it so bad? That the 497 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves, the Colorado Rockies, the Washington Nationals, and the 498 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Rays are the only teams that have a 499 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: worse record since July fourth. 500 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: Then the Dodgers. That's it. 501 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: That's the big board, not unless Sarian England, that's the 502 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 2: big board. 503 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: So why are the Dodgers here? They're here because. 504 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: Everything Andrew Friedman touched in the offseason ended up on 505 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 2: the injury list. 506 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: Or that we just call the DL or whatever it's 507 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: got even know it's called. Now he woke. 508 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 2: They changed everything. But they're all hurt. Everyone's hurt, everyone 509 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: is hurt. My god, absolutely pathetic. But then you go 510 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: down point by point the greatest depth in the history 511 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 2: of baseball. The Dodgers here. They went out and signed 512 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: that bro I ain't playing that I get mine brow 513 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 2: Blake Snell, all right, Blake Snell, he got paid two time. 514 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: Saw you on winner. 515 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 2: Blake Snell, who has been squirreled in the basement of 516 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: the injury room at Dodgers Stadium. Malfeasance, Tyler Glass. Now 517 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 2: has there ever been a more appropriate name starting pitcher 518 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 2: than Glass? 519 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: Now? 520 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 2: The man is made out of glass. Even Yoshinobu Yamamoto 521 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 2: has not been as good as he was advertised to be. 522 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: And no team, no team in baseball, has mastered Tommy 523 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 2: John surgery more than the Dodgers. All right, then you 524 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: go through the lineup, you've got chronic underachieving. Freddie Freeman 525 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: has been spotty, Mookie Betts has been stealing money. 526 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: And then you go down. 527 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: Through the bullpen, which is just god awful. They suck 528 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 2: any way you slice the bullpen. Tanner Scott, holy crap, 529 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: is he you talk? Four year, seventy two million dollar contract. 530 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: He leads baseball and blown saves the Dodgers. They they 531 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 2: had another blown save in the game against the Angels 532 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: a few hours ago. Go the Dodgers have one of 533 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 2: the I don't think it's the highest, but it's like 534 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 2: right near the top, and blown saves right near the top, 535 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: and blown saves and the bullpen is in the bottom 536 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 2: half of baseball. They are a fundamentally stupid baseball team. 537 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 2: That's Dave Roberts. They're terrible defensively. If you really want 538 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 2: to get on base against the Dodgers, you hit the 539 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: ball to the left side. 540 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: If you watch the. 541 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 2: Dodgers, Max Munsey is the worst defensive third baseman, has 542 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: the lowest fueling percentage among all qualified third basemen since 543 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. 544 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: It's been three years. 545 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 2: Mookie Betts not only does he not hit, he makes 546 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: up for that by being a shoddy defensive player, though 547 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 2: the numbers don't say he's shot. 548 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: He watched the games. Watch the games. 549 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: And then here's another Andrew Friedman pick up, Michael Conforto, 550 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 2: who must have photos. Conforto must have photos of Andrew 551 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: Friedman and Dave Roberts in a compromising position. Conforto is 552 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: Italian for can't hit the baseball? My god, is he horrible? 553 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: And why is he always in every time I turn 554 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: on Gain, Oh, there's duo, Michael Conforto. 555 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: Why he only signed a one year contract. 556 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 2: I don't care that he hit a bunch of home 557 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 2: runs for the New York Mets in twenty eighteen. It's 558 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five right now, and Conforto is horrifically bad. 559 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 2: He's hitting under two hundred. Well, you're a boomer. Betting 560 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 2: average doesn't matter. Okay, how about the fact that he's 561 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 2: played in over one hundred games, he's got nine home 562 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 2: runs and he's a power guy. 563 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: Conforto sucks terrible. You go down. 564 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I can keep going here. And you don't 565 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: want to hear me rant about this. I mean, this 566 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: is a brutal. They're fundamentally poor defensively, they have a 567 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: bad bullpen. They're a bad situational hitting team. What is 568 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 2: Dave Roberts doing? What? Seriously, they just so good. They 569 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: just show up by we'll play ball there, and they 570 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 2: don't care. That's the other thing, like they just they've 571 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: got that I use the word I used the other day, Hubris, 572 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: they've got that Dodger arrogance. You know that lo de 573 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 2: da auted. Oh, we'll be fine, we'll be fine. And 574 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 2: even if they are fine, I don't care. I don't 575 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: want to hear it. I don't like the smarmy arrogance. 576 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: I can't stand it. I can't uh and I mean 577 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: you go just all the way down the roster. They 578 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 2: didn't do anything to improve the team at the trade deadline. 579 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 2: They fell on one of the oldest crutches, the Dodgers. Well, 580 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 2: we are going to be fine because we've got guys 581 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 2: coming back from the injured list. 582 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,479 Speaker 1: That is what teams that are not trying to win 583 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: that aren't all in. The Dodgers. 584 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're not all in. They spent a 585 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 2: ton of money in the off season. Most of us 586 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 2: deferred but that was a vote of no conference. Despite 587 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: what the front office of the Dodgers has said that hey, 588 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 2: we're we're gonna be fine, the fact that they didn't 589 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 2: go out and fortify the big league roster in any 590 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 2: meaningful way tells you they know internally this is not 591 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: a championship team. 592 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: And it's not. It's not a championship team. 593 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: The expectations were insane, with all the star power and 594 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 2: all that. A team that went for it, the Podres, 595 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 2: the San Diego Padres, who tore down half the roster 596 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 2: and the middle of season and now they've caught you 597 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 2: in the standings. And another thing, the organizational philosophy. I 598 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: could do two hours on this three I could do 599 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 2: a whole show. The other thing about that drives me 600 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 2: nuts about the Dodgers is their philosophy is not go 601 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: above and beyond the call of duty. 602 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: Do the bare minimum, do the bear ef in minimum. 603 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: That's the Dodgers. 604 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 2: The Soreta's rolling over in his grid, that's the Dodgers, 605 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 2: the modern Dodgers. Look at the starting pitching the Dodgers. 606 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if the numbers still ackerate. I look 607 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 2: the other day because I was I was screaming at 608 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 2: my phone when I was watching the Dodger game and 609 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 2: I was looking at some of the numbers the Dodgers 610 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 2: starters as of a few days ago. Were you know 611 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 2: where they ranked in innings per start? 612 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: Dead last? Do you know why not? Because they not? 613 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 2: Because they can't pitch longer in games, because the philosophy 614 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 2: of the organization is due to the baremenhim And every 615 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 2: year the Dodgers say, well, we're gonna solve this injury problem. 616 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: We are gonna solve this thing. 617 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 2: And they lead baseball in trips to the injury list 618 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 2: every f and year. 619 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: That's the Dodgers. So there you go. I hope you 620 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: enjoyed that. 621 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 2: It is the Ben Mahler Show.

They have 705 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 5: Brock Purty at number fourteen. Now, some are looking at 706 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 5: that as a snub. Do you think that's about right 707 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 5: for Perdy? 708 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,760 Speaker 1: I would say it's too high for Brock party. 709 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 2: He does not have pinpoint accuracy, he does not have 710 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 2: great mobility. Those things are put together based on your 711 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 2: skill set, and he doesn't elevate his teammates. 712 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: It's the other way around. 713 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 2: So I think that's very generous to have him a 714 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 2: system quarterback that high. 715 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: I think that's a little much.

Do you think they 718 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 5: are deserving of the ranking or is this just arch 719 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 5: manning hype? Well, it's the whole preseason ranking thing is dumb. 720 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 5: It's all about I know they do it for TV, 721 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 5: the razzle dazzle. Nobody knows anything, and Texas has had 722 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 5: a lot of hype and arch Manning is very important 723 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 5: to the business of college football, so that's why they 724 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 5: did it. Next, Warber continues to light it up for 725 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 5: the Phillies, and now twenty games over five hundred, they're 726 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 5: ahead of the Mats in the NLY is a comfortable lead, Ben, 727 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 5: Do you think Scharburn has any chance of challenging Otani 728 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 5: for the MVP? 729 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 2: No, he's He's a better offensive player this year than Otani. 730 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 2: He's second in home runs in RBIs, But no Otan. 731 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 2: He's because of the pitching stuff. 732 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: He's gonna win. How do we do? What do we do? 733 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: What do we do? 734 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 2: How do we do? 735 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: That's a pass I won.
