Speaker 1: Midweek or Major? Sam gives him to us and Mike,
Speaker 1: who runs this take, is going to talk more relationships
Speaker 1: on the show. Hold on, before you start the show.
Speaker 1: I got to ask Danny g like you came in.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the Dodgers like going for lost
Speaker 1: number six. I can't roll my eyes more at Danny
Speaker 1: G at our pre show meeting, him and Big Mike
Speaker 1: were saying, man, the Dodgers could go for their sixth
Speaker 1: loss in a row right now, and then, to quote
Speaker 1: Danny G, yeah, man, they would only be eight up
Speaker 1: in the division. Only Rich, I forgot.
Speaker 3: I forget, hey, I forgot what it felt like to
Speaker 3: go on a losing street like so no, I dude,
Speaker 3: I I was feeling for Rich as I watched the
Speaker 3: the loss last night, because if that's what it feels
Speaker 3: like to be a baseball fan, I forgot.
Speaker 1: School is probably really sad now.
Speaker 3: But hey, I told you a few days ago that
Speaker 3: the Dodgers were in a little bit of trouble with
Speaker 3: the pitching rotation and some of the entries, and Rich
Speaker 3: laughed at me.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh yeah, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some runs. When school was on the matter, you know,
Speaker 1: you had a chance to win and you lose bad.
Speaker 3: Okay, Rich, At what point do you get worried? As
Speaker 3: far as a losing street goes how many in a row.
Speaker 1: It doesn't to me the losing churches, mets, those like twelve,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't The number doesn't matter. It's the fact
Speaker 1: that if you look at the baseball standings right now,
Speaker 1: see know what I would be concerned about if I
Speaker 1: were you, If I'm a Dodgers fan, which I really
Speaker 1: should have let my kid be a Dodgers fan. I
Speaker 1: remember my son's like, I like the Mets and the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Dad as by the way, as.
Speaker 2: Then you forced them into Mets.
Speaker 1: Did is it a two run home run? Or is
Speaker 1: that a double home run? Oh? Might not in a
Speaker 1: row show. Hey, oh, Tony. But I think what you
Speaker 1: have to worry about, Danny g if you want to
Speaker 1: just get nerdy baseball for a second, they got to
Speaker 1: be the one or two seat. Because the way baseball
Speaker 1: playoffs are structured is that because there's three division winners
Speaker 1: in three while cards, that third division winner is technically
Speaker 1: a wildcard, meaning they just host the wildcard round. Only
Speaker 1: two teams get that buye. So I think the fail
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers would be is slump enough where you're
Speaker 1: not the one or two seed and you have to
Speaker 1: play a best of three, which could go anyway. That's
Speaker 1: the way the Dodgers get eliminated. Yeah, the rest of
Speaker 1: baseball should be like, man, let him be the three seed.
Speaker 1: That way they have to play like the Cubs or
Speaker 1: the Phillies or the Padres or someone in Round one,
Speaker 1: best of three. Anything could happen.
Speaker 3: O Tawny stabilizes that team when he's pitching, because since
Speaker 3: his last time on the mound, obviously with that knee injury,
Speaker 3: he's not been pitching for the past few weeks. Tying
Speaker 3: runs on base eleven the Dodgers if they drop this game,
Speaker 3: I hope they don't, but they'd be eleven and fifteen
Speaker 3: since the last time Otani picked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I'd be a little worried.
Speaker 2: Rich.
Speaker 1: I know it's funny, right, Oh, you're only eight games up. Ooh,
Speaker 1: I get all that. I get what you're saying, but
Speaker 1: it's cliche. However, it's true. The bigger they are the
Speaker 1: heart of the fall. This team has such high expectations
Speaker 1: that if they get into a slide, man, they're gonna
Speaker 1: fall really hard, and then the pressure starts to mount,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't want to be part of that. Like
Speaker 1: expectations are through the roof. That's a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: to play under. So there's no guarantee there's no guarantee.
Speaker 1: Especially the more they continue to play bad, the more
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a bigger.
Speaker 3: Deal, especially when Kyle Tucker looks like Confardo out there
Speaker 3: in the outfield exactly.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think that's the pressure. That
Speaker 1: type of pressure, those expectations is why Antony Bolpi got
Speaker 1: sent down to the Miners. I think when expectations no,
Speaker 1: it's the truth. When expectations are so high, it's almost
Speaker 1: impossible to meet them. You know, like, how do you
Speaker 1: outdo the past two Dodger seasons? How are we gonna
Speaker 1: do that? Well?
Speaker 3: You know why there needs to be a lockout now
Speaker 3: next year because of DB's Brewers. They have the best
Speaker 3: record in baseball.
Speaker 1: They are they're solid, you know, they are good.
Speaker 2: dB and the Brewers it's all their fault.
Speaker 1: How is are you going? You're gonna celebrate by going
Speaker 1: down that slide and left fielder one.
Speaker 4: The slider's much better when he slid into a beer
Speaker 4: mug heat Old County Stadium.
Speaker 1: Now it's just they all curly slide. Do you see
Speaker 1: the clip? Its years ago now of the reporter that
Speaker 1: did that and like got injured, Oh, David, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness. But if you look
Speaker 1: at the Dodgers record year by year, their best statistical
Speaker 1: regular seasons, they came away with really nothing, one hundred
Speaker 1: and six wins, one hundred and eleven wins and one
Speaker 1: hundred wins that had nothing to show for it. The
Speaker 1: last two years ninety eight wins and ninety three wins,
Speaker 1: and right now they are on pace for ninety eight wins.
Speaker 1: They're on pace to win close to one hundred games.
Speaker 1: And even if it's hard to play baseball, when there's
Speaker 1: pressure on you and you're playing tight, you know baseball,
Speaker 1: you have to play confident and loose. That's just how
Speaker 1: it's played. The tighter you grip the bat, the worst
Speaker 1: off you are. And I think the Dodgers, for as
Speaker 1: great as they are, have a lot of pressure on
Speaker 1: them to again win again. The team got better, but
Speaker 1: they're hurt. They're not winning the way they're supposed to.
Speaker 1: I'd be a little worried.
Speaker 3: I saw that last postseason for your Yankees. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: remember they were gripping the bat. Tell Yeah, they were
Speaker 3: swimming too hard.
Speaker 1: That pressure's that pressure is real, So I wouldn't really
Speaker 1: I get it. Rich it's laughable. But if it continues
Speaker 1: a few more games, I would not downplay it. Hold
Speaker 1: on sixty nine and forty five they got, they got forty,
Speaker 1: they got forty eight games left.
Speaker 2: Looks like Alex call moved over to second.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as a wild So anyway, it's the eighth inning
Speaker 1: Dodgers Cubs and the tying runs on second. Then you
Speaker 1: put yourself in such a great position which you could
Speaker 1: credit your early success. Danny. If the Dodgers go twenty
Speaker 1: four and twenty four, if they play five hundred baseball
Speaker 1: for the final, you know, forty eight games. They went
Speaker 1: ninety three games, and that's gonna get in the playoffs. Now,
Speaker 1: you're not going to be that one or two seed likely,
Speaker 1: but dude, you're in it. Worry about the playoffs. But again,
Speaker 1: the world, I hate to say this, Dandy, close your ears.
Speaker 1: No key k just struck out. The world has to
Speaker 1: root for the Dodgers to be a three seed. That's
Speaker 1: the best shot for someone to take down the almighty
Speaker 1: evil Empire, the Dodgers, because.
Speaker 2: They're the evil Empire. Stop if you.
Speaker 3: They are so well, they're a likable they would be
Speaker 3: the evil Empire if they had, like really punchable faces
Speaker 3: on it.
Speaker 1: They're not evil per se, but interesting that they are
Speaker 1: quite the Empire. But again, but think about it, Empire,
Speaker 1: they're just a likable team. I'll give you that. If
Speaker 1: your brew crew and the Braves keep winning at their
Speaker 1: pace and the Dodgers do acquire that three seed, I
Speaker 1: know we're you know, a month and a half, two
Speaker 1: months away, but if the Dodgers don't play on part
Speaker 1: with the Bruise and the Braves and the Bravos, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you got to play a team like
Speaker 1: Philadelphia or the Cubs in a best of three, and
Speaker 1: that's where the Dodgers could get caught.
Speaker 2: Yes, the start of the series, the more likely that is.
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's why when the NBA had
Speaker 1: five game series, that was the only time, like a
Speaker 1: lower seed had a better chance. You get hot, you
Speaker 1: get lucky. But a best of three, Danny, that's tough
Speaker 1: it is. But right now, sitting pretty yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 1: We'll see if he continues on pace to it almost
Speaker 1: one hundred games. But speaking of baseball, you know Dodgers
Speaker 1: are playing right now. We'll see what happens. Dan Byer's
Speaker 1: got your updates. Covino and Rich with Danny g the
Speaker 1: resident Dodgers fan sam Is on The Ones and Twos.
Speaker 1: We mentioned it at the end of yesterday's show. It's
Speaker 1: not about the Yankees, it's not about Anthony Valpy, but
Speaker 1: I do want to give you the backstory. Anthony Volpi
Speaker 1: had to replace Derek Jeter. So again it goes back
Speaker 1: to the pressure. Talk about pressure, just like the Dodgers
Speaker 1: are going for the three people, but there were guys
Speaker 1: in between, the d D. Gregorioases of the world. But
Speaker 1: essentially you're the next name that people. He's the next guy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: D D was great, but he wasn't Derek Jeter. They
Speaker 1: touted him to be one of the highest prospects since
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter. Like he's the next guy. He was a
Speaker 1: local kid, grew up watching the Yankees. Everybody wanted this story.
Speaker 1: Good looking kids in town. You watch every day. So
Speaker 1: I'm not catching you off guard here. What number was
Speaker 1: Volpi wearing? Oh? Actually, I don't even remember. How do
Speaker 1: you know you watch? Yeah, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Look it up yourself, but I'll tell you this, Okay,
Speaker 1: those things don't mean as much to me as they
Speaker 1: did when I was a kid, and he watches one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games a year. I really, he'll
Speaker 1: be at a five star restaurant and he'll have the
Speaker 1: Yankees game on his phone. But he doesn't realize that
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi is.
Speaker 2: Number because he only has Mattingly Jerseys.
Speaker 1: Number eleven, number eleven, And I'm glad I looked it
Speaker 1: up because that meant Ben Rice is twenty two. But
Speaker 1: do you understand that giving him number eleven was an
Speaker 1: honor the same way they gave Derek Jeter number two.
Speaker 1: Because in the Yankees eye rolling history of well the
Speaker 1: Pinstripes and everyone from the imaginary Babe Ruth to Mickey
Speaker 1: Mantle to Demaggio, those numbers are all retired. So if
Speaker 1: you get a lower single digit or like double digit number,
Speaker 1: it means they put stock in you. There's a you're
Speaker 1: used to be. I mean, Avery Judge's number ninety. They're
Speaker 1: not giving some schlub Well that was because that's kitchy,
Speaker 1: like he wanted ninety nine. I'm saying number one number.
Speaker 1: You're right, they're not going to give ten or retire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna give number eleven to uh, their utility infield. Well,
Speaker 1: it goes with the point. He was touted to be
Speaker 1: the next superstar, the next Derek Jeter, the next guy.
Speaker 1: We heard about Anthony Volpi for so long because he
Speaker 1: was a New Jersey kid, a local kid grew up
Speaker 1: watching the Yankees. He was going to be the next
Speaker 1: be all end all for the Yankees and be the
Speaker 1: starting short shortstop for years to come, like the pillar
Speaker 1: of the Yankees. Moving forward, reading this rung, he has
Speaker 1: one home run this year. I was just going to
Speaker 1: give you stats. He's only twenty five years old too.
Speaker 1: Forty one home run, nineteen RBI. But again, he was
Speaker 1: hurt for a lot of the beginning of the year.
Speaker 1: Still on was his fourth season. Now he had a
Speaker 1: gold glove. His first year he had some shining moments.
Speaker 1: But since then it's been like disappointment after disappoint with
Speaker 1: this guy, and they've done nothing but defend him and
Speaker 1: give him chances. That's the thing, give him chances. They've
Speaker 1: given him so many chances, and they've defended him so hard.
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone was putting so many awkward positions, like he's elite,
Speaker 1: what do you offer me? He's elite, He's a great player,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, but everybody could see he's struggling. So finally,
Speaker 1: at trade deadline, the day after him and Jason Domingez
Speaker 1: get sent down to get option to the minor leagues,
Speaker 1: and he was a bona fide Major leaguer. It's fourth
Speaker 1: year in the league. Back to the miners, and they
Speaker 1: bring up the next Anthony Volpi, the next Derek Cheter,
Speaker 1: the next highly tauted guy that you've been hearing about
Speaker 1: for years, George Lombard Junior, which basically implies rich they're
Speaker 1: giving his job to him, like all right, he earned it.
Speaker 1: He's now our starting shortstop, and we're sending Volcan Hey,
Speaker 1: what do we have to lose by giving this kid
Speaker 1: a look? Right now? So I don't expect you to care,
Speaker 1: But imagine you talked about it. No, no, no, about the
Speaker 1: Yankee I mean, well, you can't expect someone not to care.
Speaker 1: It's about the story. I don't expect you to care
Speaker 1: about the Yankees. It's hey, we're sending you down and
Speaker 1: we're bringing up this new dude. If you're bringing up
Speaker 1: this new dude, he's got the job because the old
Speaker 1: dude got demoted. That's really it. So George Lombard Junior
Speaker 1: makes his debut last night. Told you, hey, check it out. Man,
Speaker 1: been here about this kid for years, and he was
Speaker 1: really putting the pressure on Volpi. Vopi was here in
Speaker 1: the footsteps. Not only was he feeling the pressure of
Speaker 1: New York and the expectations and living in the jeter
Speaker 1: shadows of the world, he was hearing the footsteps of
Speaker 1: this kid, George Lombard Junior. In his first game, in
Speaker 1: his first attempt at a play, he makes a ridiculous
Speaker 1: double play that Volpi would have never made. He hits
Speaker 1: a home run and his second at bat, tying the
Speaker 1: season totals of Anthony Volpi. They got one home each. Okay,
Speaker 1: cool man. He puts on a show. So it was
Speaker 1: about seizing the moment, Like you can't complain if you're
Speaker 1: an Anthony Volpian life, meaning if you really got an opportunity,
Speaker 1: you just blew the chance. You had your chance, You
Speaker 1: had your chance and you blew it. You blew likely.
Speaker 1: Are you really Wally Pipped who had the chance and
Speaker 1: you blew it? No, Wally Pip's afferent a different example. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I've heard Wally Pip a few times, Like I
Speaker 1: want to make it clear Volpi had a chance. He
Speaker 1: blew it. Now do we hope he, you know, works
Speaker 1: it out in the minors, maybe learns a second base
Speaker 1: or different position, comes back. You never root for any
Speaker 1: ballplayer to fail, but it happens. Sometimes you just never
Speaker 1: meet those expectations. I think it's what the Yankees. I
Speaker 1: think at some point the Yankees made pirates or something,
Speaker 1: they'll they'll dish him somewhere for like a middle reliever
Speaker 1: or something a need and maybe nentity. Volpi has an
Speaker 1: opportunity to go somewhere else and and become who you
Speaker 1: thought he might have been. But you really gotta seize
Speaker 1: the moment. It's as cliche as it gets. And this
Speaker 1: kid had so many chances. So you feel bad anytime
Speaker 1: a superstar with all his potential fail, But you also
Speaker 1: have to be realistic and say, yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: they had a pretty fair chance to deliver. And I
Speaker 1: feel really bad about this, But where there's crisis, there's opportunity.
Speaker 1: Right where there's failure, there's room for someone else to succeed.
Speaker 1: And that someone else is George Lombard Junior, And in
Speaker 1: his very second at bat, his second major league at bat.
Speaker 1: This is what happens.
Speaker 5: Franking ball, swung on in a high fly ball, well
Speaker 5: big bleat field, going back, going back, done a home
Speaker 5: run for George Lumbard Junior, and the parents are going
Speaker 5: nuts and suns everybody in the ballpark.
Speaker 1: Two nothing Yankees and again his kid looking the part,
Speaker 1: looking composed. I needed that Lombard support. Yeah, a Miami
Speaker 1: kid who made his debut in the bigs yesterday and
Speaker 1: is coincidentally his younger brother also made his pro debut
Speaker 1: in the miners and hit a home run too. Talk
Speaker 1: about so the parents watching the one home run of
Speaker 1: their minor league son on their phone. They look up
Speaker 1: and their big league kid hits a home run. That
Speaker 1: was so cool. It's so cool, and it just goes
Speaker 1: to show you. I mean little sidetracked from the conversation
Speaker 1: we're having because I do want to talk about seizing
Speaker 1: the moment, but I don't know if there's anything cooler
Speaker 1: in the world of sports. Well, that's kind of what
Speaker 1: I wanted to actually get to. Yeah, is there anything
Speaker 1: cooler in the world of sports? And seeing parents in
Speaker 1: the stands at any sport watching their kid get that chance,
Speaker 1: Baseball just seems to be the one you see the
Speaker 1: most just because of you know, I guess you would
Speaker 1: say the dynamic of like, you know, baseball's casual. You
Speaker 1: see the parents sitting there in the stands at a stadium.
Speaker 1: You don't get those glimpses maybe in college football when
Speaker 1: you see like the mom or dad, like Mendoza's family.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I feel like baseball is
Speaker 1: the sport where you do get that beautiful glimpse and
Speaker 1: a lot of times the sideline sideline, I guess the
Speaker 1: field reporter a lot of times we'll be interviewing those
Speaker 1: parents and a lot of times something happens in the
Speaker 1: middle of that and that makes it even cooler. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I have so many thoughts about this, but again,
Speaker 1: both of their kids went yard yesterday in their debuts.
Speaker 1: I think in the NFL you get these moments most
Speaker 1: when and a kid's drafted and then you see the
Speaker 1: parents show the love. But in baseball, for me, since
Speaker 1: the draft doesn't really a big deal in baseball compared
Speaker 1: to the NFL and NBA, in baseball, it's usually like
Speaker 1: he's making his debut today and there's his mom and
Speaker 1: dad sitting by the first base line, I like it.
Speaker 4: When they're on the road and the player does something
Speaker 4: well and then the home fans are cheering for the
Speaker 4: road kid because they're sitting by mom and dad. It's
Speaker 4: a close So like if it was a Mets player
Speaker 4: and they're facing the Nationals, the Nationals fans are still
Speaker 4: giving them high fives because the parents are sitting behind him.
Speaker 1: Of course, Yeah, that's that is a great moment. And
Speaker 1: you know, when you think about it, is the reason
Speaker 1: why baseball is more special Covino, because in the NBA
Speaker 1: or NFL, when does that moment happen Draft Night? Usually? Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he made his debut yesterday and came through again,
Speaker 1: matching the totals the season totals in one game of
Speaker 1: an Anthony Volpi. And I'm reading the feedback and one
Speaker 1: guy's a total moron. So I'm not even going to
Speaker 1: address that. Vince Garcia says, the amount of pressure that
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi was under in New York is just tremendous
Speaker 1: due to the expectations he's trade bait at this point.
Speaker 1: You know, that's his story in itself. You don't have
Speaker 1: to be a Yankees fan to think of that person.
Speaker 1: Where the expectations were through the roof and they just
Speaker 1: couldn't meet him, and they just never mounted to what
Speaker 1: you thought they'd be. Well, and it's a sad story.
Speaker 1: So I rooting for the kid. Trade bait with his stats.
Speaker 1: I'll give you only twenty five. I'll give you some
Speaker 1: double bubble on some sunflower seats. I mean, at this rate,
Speaker 1: you have to imagine that they wanted to dish him
Speaker 1: somewhere during the deadline, and nobody wanted him, so he
Speaker 1: got optioned. So speaking of Yankees' lore, though, I do
Speaker 1: want to mention these things, and speaking of numbers, Rich
Speaker 1: George Lombard Junior comes out and he's wearing number ninety six,
Speaker 1: and that's what they gave him, number ninety six some
Speaker 1: one Jeter one Rookie of the Year. That's when they
Speaker 1: won the World Series. He hit his first home run
Speaker 1: in the same place that Derek Jeter hit his three
Speaker 1: thousand hit as a home run, and his parents were
Speaker 1: a mixed couple, very reminiscent of Dr Jeter. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie when I say his parents and he's got
Speaker 1: a black dad and a white mom. I was like,
Speaker 1: very much like someone else. He really was shortstop of
Speaker 1: the captain the Yankees. But the kid had a magical night,
Speaker 1: and you think about it, it's it's such a weird
Speaker 1: juxtaposition because, yeah, Anthony Volpi, who's you know, probably at
Speaker 1: the lowest point possible. So you gotta feel bad for
Speaker 1: any young guy that just doesn't make it, even though
Speaker 1: his career is not written. And then on the flip side,
Speaker 1: Dinny Velpe was not pubped watching that. Yeah, and how
Speaker 1: do you think the teammates feel like they love this
Speaker 1: kid Volpy? But now they got a cheer for the
Speaker 1: new kid too. There's so many feelings going on this
Speaker 1: time of year. You even said one of your buddies
Speaker 1: who plays professional sports, the trade deadline and these moves
Speaker 1: that are made, they are so impactful on your life
Speaker 1: and on your mentals and everything. Your mentals and your fundamentals,
Speaker 1: no doubt. So what I'm getting at is this kid
Speaker 1: made his debut and he sees the moment. Anthony Volpi
Speaker 1: could not for whatever reason, but when this happened yesterday
Speaker 1: you could and help but enjoy the moment. Like you said,
Speaker 1: Rich with the parents, I think there is there anything
Speaker 1: cooler in sports when you see the family embracing this
Speaker 1: and realizing that they're the people who drove them to
Speaker 1: practice their whole lives. I can only I can only
Speaker 1: imagine the same taughtom the game and everything else. A
Speaker 1: lot of times at draft night when you see the
Speaker 1: moms and there's usually like a hot sister or a girlfriend
Speaker 1: there and people get weird, who's that? But it's usually
Speaker 1: that's the moment in basketball or football where you're like, man,
Speaker 1: it all came together. They watched their kid, and here
Speaker 1: he is drafted. Because in the NBA or NFL, if
Speaker 1: you're a high round draft pick, you're gonna play in
Speaker 1: the league the next year. Likely in Major League baseball,
Speaker 1: you get drafted. You just become part of the system,
Speaker 1: and that means really nothing, right, So when a kid
Speaker 1: makes his major league debut, that's the intro to the
Speaker 1: big show. So to me, I watched that mom and
Speaker 1: dad in the crowd was awesome in the most selfish way.
Speaker 1: And I think we all feel this way. If you
Speaker 1: got kids, you know how much effort and how much
Speaker 1: heart you put into coaching your kids, sitting in the
Speaker 1: stands watching your kids play baseball, soccer, flag football, and
Speaker 1: to know that those parents those feelings must be overwhelming, dude,
Speaker 1: from the time that kid was five years old hitting
Speaker 1: a ball off a tee and running to third base
Speaker 1: by mistake to now you know that that mom's probably like,
Speaker 1: I've been to every high school game, every summer travel
Speaker 1: ball like that. It's it's probably like heart wrenching. And
Speaker 1: you know another weird moment when George Lombard Junior hit
Speaker 1: his home run. It is insane that Zach Hampbell. Do
Speaker 1: you guys know who Zach Hampbell is? The kid that
Speaker 1: made a living out of catching foul balls, the Dabbroni
Speaker 1: that's caught like thousands of foul balls. He had a
Speaker 1: glove on it almost he almost got it. It was
Speaker 1: off his glove. Like the knack that this kid has
Speaker 1: for being in the right place at the right time,
Speaker 1: and he gets such flak for that, by the way,
Speaker 1: is insane. But anyway, it's just the highs of highs
Speaker 1: and the lows of lows. And that's what makes sports
Speaker 1: interesting because you feel bad for one guy, but you
Speaker 1: gotta love the opportunity that the other guy gets as
Speaker 1: a result. And that's what we saw last night. You'll
Speaker 1: to be a Yankees fan is my point to understand
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about or to appreciate those moments. And
Speaker 1: when you see the family getting behind the kid and
Speaker 1: everyone's happy for Lombard Junior, that's what That's what it's
Speaker 1: all about. And he plays again tonight and I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Well he plays again every night. Yeah, Anthony Volpe's like,
Speaker 1: does he have to? Well, Anthony Vope's ever gonna play again? Honestly,
Speaker 1: because I think this is his job. Now. The Anthony
Speaker 1: Vopia shure stup era is over, He's gonna have to
Speaker 1: learn second base or just move a lover, or they
Speaker 1: trade him. I mean, there are guys that if you know,
Speaker 1: Danny g your team gave new life to a guy
Speaker 1: that my team gave up on, Like Justin Turner was
Speaker 1: such a big part of your squad for years, a
Speaker 1: fan favorite. The Mets had him as a utility guy
Speaker 1: that they never truly gave a shot to. And you
Speaker 1: know what, maybe it made me think of where I
Speaker 1: think Cavino and I want to roll next, which is
Speaker 1: like seizing the moment. Like what athletes do you think
Speaker 1: of when it comes to easing that chance? Because so
Speaker 1: many times I think my favorite are second and third chances.
Speaker 1: To me, I think one of your favorite quarterbacks, a
Speaker 1: guy you're watching on quarterback. When Baker Mayfield got that
Speaker 1: chance to start for the Rams that one game, what
Speaker 1: did that do? It reminded us that well too, He's
Speaker 1: a ball of two things can happen. Rich. I don't
Speaker 1: want to quote your pound, but Rich's friends are a
Speaker 1: major leaguer. I mean quote him if you want to, buddy,
Speaker 1: he said Jeff Soupon see what he said. Jeff Soupon saying,
Speaker 1: like the trade deadline, in these moments, like you, you
Speaker 1: could be in such a rhythm with you know, family teammates,
Speaker 1: National League versus americanly you could feel comfortable more if
Speaker 1: you're in a good rhythm. It could throw off your
Speaker 1: rhythm and vice versa. Yeah, we could be off rhythm
Speaker 1: and then get trade all of a sudden, you found
Speaker 1: your groove again, I say. He even posted on social
Speaker 1: media he said he was having a one of his
Speaker 1: best first halfs ever with the Pirates, got traded to
Speaker 1: the Red Sox of the deadline and just never really
Speaker 1: found his second half of the season groove because he
Speaker 1: went to the al new team sort of different role,
Speaker 1: but the flip could also happened. And you know that's
Speaker 1: what's interesting about this time of years, Like you're gonna
Speaker 1: see what players step up, which ones can't make the adjustment?
Speaker 1: How does the chemistry Danny g back to your dodge? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean like cra is going to be in the
Speaker 1: eighth Yeah yeah, but hey, who knows. Maybe some of
Speaker 1: the minor moves they made changed to chemistry a little bit.
Speaker 1: You never know.
Speaker 3: Remember when Blake Snell joined the Dodgers, his first comment was, Man,
Speaker 3: the chemistry of this team is crazy. It's the best chemistry,
Speaker 3: the best camaraderie I've ever been around.
Speaker 1: On me, can I tell you some guys could come
Speaker 1: on a team and be a lightning bolt and you
Speaker 1: could even feel it from day one. We talked about
Speaker 1: DB's Brewers Yesterday that year when C. C. Sabathia carried
Speaker 1: them to the playoffs and he seemed like the most
Speaker 1: unhittable guy ever. Yesterday, did you guys see a rise
Speaker 1: he got, he got a ribby, he turned first base. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was fired. I watched the NL way more than
Speaker 1: the AL being a Mets fan, I seen that guy
Speaker 1: play a lot and he forced Brice Harbor to get
Speaker 1: back into downfield, and Harper had a good game too.
Speaker 1: I've never seen a rise showed that night emotion. He
Speaker 1: turned to the dugout. His teammates were fired up, like dude,
Speaker 1: it was awesome. So you're gonna see how people adjust
Speaker 1: on new teams, and how these teams adjust, and how
Speaker 1: the chemistry either increases or decreases, and that's what makes
Speaker 1: it fun.
Speaker 2: I think TV has a quick update on the Chicago.
Speaker 1: Start thinking about seizing the moment, seizing the moment, like
Speaker 1: those second chances are just rising to the occasion. But
Speaker 1: an update from dB.
Speaker 4: Final score from Chicago's North Side Cubs seven, Dodgers six.
Speaker 2: Lost six in a row. The sky is.
Speaker 1: And we're going to Danny g for a quote. Cubs go.
Speaker 3: I liked it better when the Cubbies were lovable losers
Speaker 3: who never won.
Speaker 1: All right in today go Cubs go? All right, we
Speaker 1: get it. Dandy's thinking, I really love I love La more.
Speaker 1: You know what it's like though, and this is why
Speaker 1: I feel like emotional about these stories. It's like if
Speaker 1: you've ever gone through a breakup or a heartbreak or
Speaker 1: anything like that, right, you're going through misery. But guess
Speaker 1: what that next dude, he's on Cloud nine. He's like
Speaker 1: the happiest dude. Yeah, and that's usually how and that's
Speaker 1: what happens. You know, you lose a job. Guess what,
Speaker 1: some other dude is so happy to get that Job's
Speaker 1: exactly what happened with Wolby and Warbar Junior everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you're your happiness sometimes or your unhappiness sometimes is
Speaker 1: leading to someone else's happiness. Well, we got more Kivian

Speaker 1: We're raging Iowa Sam playing the air count Rage against
Speaker 1: the Machine style Empire. Danny Jis Yeah, Little Evil Empire.
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite albums.
Speaker 2: Great album.
Speaker 1: Danny G's on the phones at eight seven, seven ninety
Speaker 1: nine on Fox. Dan Bayer's got more updates for you
Speaker 1: in about two minutes, but I just wanted to tell
Speaker 1: you what's coming up right now. We're talking about against
Speaker 1: season the moment. No matter how you slice it or
Speaker 1: dice it, Anthony Vaalpi had his opportunities and that's how
Speaker 1: you got to look at life like did you have
Speaker 1: a chance? Did you really? Did you get a fair chance?
Speaker 1: And they've albably got a fair chance and he got
Speaker 1: sent down. Someone else gets an opportunity, and George Lumbard
Speaker 1: Junior in one game seems to be seasoned the moment.
Speaker 1: I think of this what it comes to like, even
Speaker 1: if you had a chance, you did something big, even
Speaker 1: if you didn't keep it, it might have led to
Speaker 1: something else like that. That's ever women, that's with sports,
Speaker 1: that's with your career, whatever it may be. Even so like, uh,
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn remember much like that Baker game on the Rams.
Speaker 1: Remember Matt Flynn played that one game for the Packers
Speaker 1: through for a thousand yards. It felt like he had
Speaker 1: the most miraculous rites and dB, your Seahawks give him
Speaker 1: a big deal that everyone's like, really and then Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson ends up beating him out. But guess who gets
Speaker 1: to collect a lot of that money.
Speaker 2: Matt Flynn.
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn. So sometimes just take if you get a chance,
Speaker 1: go with it. Speaking of you know, Baker Mayfield and
Speaker 1: his quick run with you said that already, and I
Speaker 1: said Baker is the best example, because a great example.
Speaker 1: I also think of Jacob de Grom multiple Cy Young
Speaker 1: Award winner, who we thought might be moved at the deadline,
Speaker 1: but it decides to stay with the Rangers. They're in
Speaker 1: that Al West race right now. But the gram was
Speaker 1: a spot starter. You can say, Goff, you know, even
Speaker 1: though he was always he was supposed to be the
Speaker 1: guy he's a number drift, but he stepped up with
Speaker 1: the Lions. I feel like we resurrected as his career
Speaker 1: a little bit. All right, I guess he didn't like
Speaker 1: that answer. Sorry, he was a number one draft pick,
Speaker 1: was a starter, found himself in Detroit. I like, how Detroit? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about guys that like, we're just like
Speaker 1: like a guy like Gardner Minshew, who is nothing, but
Speaker 1: because he came in with his attitude, vibe and hair
Speaker 1: and mustache, Like, all of a sudden, he goes from like, guys,
Speaker 1: this guy Gardner Minshew's doing a spot start quarterback because
Speaker 1: he had such a cool flare to him, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden he becomes your quintessential backup, like he's taking
Speaker 1: us the motorbacks. We're gonna talk Justin Herbert in a
Speaker 1: few minutes, and this has to do with PDA. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about it? Plus Mike's I keep wanting
Speaker 1: to say Mike's words of wisdom. Guys run out of
Speaker 1: those he's putting the dumb in wisdom. It's Mike who
Speaker 1: runs this take. He has a take about relationships. Plus
Speaker 1: Midweek Major, we might talk Steph Curry and Moore, But
Speaker 1: first and first, mostly you want to go to the
Speaker 1: man with the plan. His name is Dan dan Byer update.
Speaker 4: Let's go from PA or from PDA to PCA today.
Speaker 1: He is taking that pitch now over and older, deep
Speaker 1: drive to right, going back as Tucker get out to
Speaker 1: check measure long pick Crow Armstrong a two run homer.
Speaker 1: Cubs laid five no one.
Speaker 4: It was the second of the game in twenty sixth
Speaker 4: of the season. Cubs actually had a seven to one
Speaker 4: lead before the Dodgers rallied all the way back to
Speaker 4: get within one. However, the Cubs survived seven to six.
Speaker 4: On the Cubs Radio Network, Dodgers have lost six straight.
Speaker 4: In the Losing Effort show. Hey Otani homer twice for
Speaker 4: LA number twenty five and twenty six as well. On
Speaker 4: the season, Blue Jays beat the Astros and Extras five
Speaker 4: to four, while the Rangers blanked the Giant six nothing.
Speaker 4: Raised on top of the Rockies for nothing as they
Speaker 4: play in the top of the ninth inning in Denver.
Speaker 4: Some news on the Rams and Aaron Donald Donald listed
Speaker 4: on the tryout list of the NFL today for the Rams.
Speaker 4: Adam Schefter of ESPN giving some clarity, we know Donald's
Speaker 4: been working out. Donald's been working out with the Rams.
Speaker 4: He wanted to do a workout with a helmet on
Speaker 4: that requires the Rams to list him as a tryout.
Speaker 4: He wanted to see how he would respond. But it
Speaker 4: does seem like things are getting closer and closer for
Speaker 4: Aaron Donald to make a return.
Speaker 1: So weird. Was it like yesterday and they say, you
Speaker 1: wanted to pursue like a media like a career in media,
Speaker 1: and now he's practicing.
Speaker 4: I've just heard Sean McVay kind of tew the company
Speaker 4: line maybe dance around a little bit of where he
Speaker 4: was working out. But because he was putting on a
Speaker 4: RAMS helmet today, they had to characterize that as a tryout.
Speaker 1: That's it makes sense. Was it like a month ago?
Speaker 1: His wife said, this is news to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, And here we are later, thirty five years old,
Speaker 4: with the It's just funny how it looked on the
Speaker 4: transaction list because Aaron Donald DT Pittsburgh tryout Rams, not
Speaker 4: three time Defensive Player of the Year, eight time First
Speaker 4: Team All Pro or Super Bowl champion.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Stefan Diggs has found a new home Washington Commanders, signing
Speaker 4: him to a one year deal worth twelve million dollars.
Speaker 4: It's his fourth team in as many seasons. Falcon j
Speaker 4: Edge rusher Jalen Walker is going to miss all of
Speaker 4: this season because of a torn acl suffering camp. Yesterday,
Speaker 4: Chiefs have drop the sponsorship name on their stadium. It
Speaker 4: will no longer be called Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Speaker 4: They're just calling it Arrowhead Stadium. Can They will continue
Speaker 4: to be a partner though with the sponsor Broncos said
Speaker 4: good Sean Payton said wide receiver Jayalen Waddle should be
Speaker 4: okay after dealing with muscle tightness in practice today.
Speaker 1: And two other notes.
Speaker 4: One in horse racing, Preakness Stakes is going to move
Speaker 4: a week later than the Kentucky Derby and actually be
Speaker 4: run on a Sunday. Livgolf says they have struck a
Speaker 4: deal with a lead investor that will keep the tour
Speaker 4: alive after twenty twenty six. In his statement, the tour said,
Speaker 4: the players on Live will become the majority stakeholders of
Speaker 4: the tour. A deal could be finalized in September. Guys,
Speaker 4: back to you, thank you, dB.
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting, Danny, your dude, Shoho Tani and
Speaker 1: PCA who Dan Bayer let us know hit two home
Speaker 1: runs today. Their stats are as they said in one
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies. My cousin Vinny identical, almost identical.
Speaker 1: I mean they're both betting in between two eighty five
Speaker 1: and two ninety ish. Both have twenty four home runs
Speaker 1: and sixty five RBI versus sixty seven today, So they're
Speaker 1: up to bolt up to twenty six. Oh well, get that?
Speaker 1: So okay. So so when you look at those numbers,
Speaker 1: they are your top contenders for the MVP according to
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. But when you look at the league leaders,
Speaker 1: there's guys with plenty more home runs, guys with better
Speaker 1: batting averages, guys with more RBI to show. Hey, being
Speaker 1: a pitcher, will that cement him the MVP every year?
Speaker 1: Because if guys have similar stats to Atani, won't Won't
Speaker 1: the deciding factor every single year be the pitches? It
Speaker 1: is what it is I'm saying. But the average player,
Speaker 1: if he ends the season Batten two ninety thirty five
Speaker 1: home runs, an extraordinary season, two out do o time.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I feel like if anyone, whether
Speaker 1: it's PCA or Matt Olson's got some great stats Schormer,
Speaker 1: you know, as you know a lot of.
Speaker 3: Home runs, imagine doing all that and then you have
Speaker 3: an eight and two record on the mound with a
Speaker 3: one point five VR.
Speaker 1: It's hard to argy that you're more valuable. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to argue. I'm just say I feel as though,
Speaker 1: unless Otani has such a down year, if he is
Speaker 1: in the conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're not wrong.
Speaker 1: It's his because even if even if a Matt Olsen
Speaker 1: or a Schoreber or a PCA or someone had beat
Speaker 1: at two eighty forty something home runs one hundreds of
Speaker 1: other Ribbies, if Otani was even close to that, Oh,
Speaker 1: and he pitches, he will win every MVP while he
Speaker 1: plays baseball. Agreed, I agree with you. No one's debating
Speaker 1: that you can't be like but Schwebber's a great clubhouse guy.
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't matter, and you definitely can't give it
Speaker 1: to a DH. You can't get right. You can't give
Speaker 1: definitely DH when this guy's doing exactly So it's just
Speaker 1: man Otani. My goodness, Thank you dB, thank you fellas
Speaker 1: Uh your feedback and calls. If you want to talk
Speaker 1: about seizing the moment, if you want to throw any
Speaker 1: others in there. To me, it's a lot of times
Speaker 1: it's quarterbacks or pictures that might get a spot start,
Speaker 1: and it's like, Yo, this guy's way better than we thought.
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, he's a permanent part of
Speaker 1: the rotation, right, seizing that moment. Uh, But you want
Speaker 1: to talk to love birds? Talk lovebirds? I think the
Speaker 1: world needs love. Yeah, it loves in the air man.
Speaker 1: So yeah, pc E to PDA. We're gonna talk some
Speaker 1: PDA for now. Just think about it. What are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on public displays of affection? We'll get to it next.
Speaker 1: Hang tight, Oh little Seas the Day event sevenfold on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. It's a good jam.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: I played on Turbo. Oh divorce dad Rock? Yeah, divorce
Speaker 1: Dad Rock. Yeah. I said, dance, what's up? I said, yeah, huh,
Speaker 1: that's what's up. Sebino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. We
Speaker 1: got Danny g we got Sam, we got Dan Meyer,
Speaker 1: we got midweek major coming up, and of course Mike
Speaker 1: who runs his take. So stick around for that. That's
Speaker 1: next hour. But it's all about seizing the moment, the day,
Speaker 1: the year, the month, the rest of the week. Just
Speaker 1: keeps season stuff all right, and you know, take it
Speaker 1: out of sports and out of life. You get those opportunities.
Speaker 1: You got to capitalize. We saw George Lombard Junior do
Speaker 1: that with his opportunity at short stuff for the Yankees
Speaker 1: yesterday his debut. His parents were cheering everybody's I think
Speaker 1: two are big takeaways from hour one where you putting
Speaker 1: out that for everyone that's having their great moment, there
Speaker 1: is someone that's like really bummed about it because that
Speaker 1: was their lost opportunity. Like, yes, someone's bumpy sitting somewhere
Speaker 1: in minor league baseball being like maybe you'll get called
Speaker 1: back up. Meanwhile, on day one, his replacement looks lights
Speaker 1: out making diving catches. Yeah, he was doing everything that
Speaker 1: Volpi just didn't seem he was able to do, at
Speaker 1: least at that moment. But in TV or entertainment, it
Speaker 1: makes me think of those Steve Rkle moments. Right, he
Speaker 1: gets his opportunity to be the goofy neighbor and what
Speaker 1: does he do. He slays it And who did it before? Erkele?
Speaker 1: Arthur Fonzarelli, our recent guest on over promised Henry Winkler, Like,
Speaker 1: these are guys that were supposed to be ancillary people, right,
Speaker 1: but they got their moment and owned it to the
Speaker 1: point where they.
Speaker 2: Couldn't be they stole the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they stole a show. They stole a scene they
Speaker 1: couldn't be avoid and essentially stealing the show. Stealing the
Speaker 1: scene translates to sports. And another example would be one
Speaker 1: of my favorite shows back in the two thousands, How
Speaker 1: I Met Your Mother Neil Patrick Harris, Barney Stinson was
Speaker 1: supposed to be an ancillary character and it ends up
Speaker 1: sees the moment steals the show. And the other point
Speaker 1: was in baseball, there's something very special about the debut
Speaker 1: because in football and basketball, it's always about the draft. Right,
Speaker 1: you get drafted early, you're making millions. That's when you
Speaker 1: hug and kiss the family. Baseball, you could be a
Speaker 1: first round pick and never see the field. So when
Speaker 1: you have that major league baseball debut and mom and
Speaker 1: dad are in the stands, something so magical about that
Speaker 1: that you don't even need to like the team and
Speaker 1: you can get a little emotional. Well before we go
Speaker 1: to the calls, question for you, Rich, got any cheese?
Speaker 1: Did I do that? Hey? Real quick?
Speaker 2: Real quick?
Speaker 1: Who we got? All right, let's go to Austin and
Speaker 1: San Diego? Can you budget wait for it?
Speaker 2: Darry?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 7: Richmino?
Speaker 2: By you guys are amazing.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the call. Thanks man. I season
Speaker 1: the moment.
Speaker 7: I would say Justin Herbert when he got thrown in about.
Speaker 1: Ten minutes before kickoff, because I think the quarterback got
Speaker 1: a needle that was long and collapsed.
Speaker 3: I think it was Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 7: I remember exactly who.
Speaker 1: What's funny?
Speaker 2: Bring on Taylor?
Speaker 1: Funny you bring up Justin Herbert because we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about him next Yeah, next one we talk about
Speaker 1: love birds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, our boy James and Virginia wants to weigh in.
Speaker 1: Hey James, Oh, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 7: Gentlemen, Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 1: How you feeling about How are you feeling about your commanders?
Speaker 1: We look at ten and seven, seven and ten somewhere
Speaker 1: in between. What you what are you thinking?
Speaker 7: If Jayden Daniels stays healthy, I think they can win
Speaker 7: the division. Man, this guy delivers the ball from the pocket.
Speaker 7: He should run and he makes plays outside of the pocket.
Speaker 7: But he went inside of the pocket. Man, he delivered struck.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that that's what I love about jad
Speaker 1: your commander's team. Is that one of those teams, Danny
Speaker 1: g we need to take the next level dive on
Speaker 1: because I think I think they're one of the more
Speaker 1: confusing teams because two years ago, you like, you know,
Speaker 1: they're in the NFC Championship Game. They take a big
Speaker 1: step back last year. I don't know where they sit
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 3: Rich Once you start watching Quarterback on Netflix, we'll see
Speaker 3: what happened with Jet Daniels.
Speaker 1: People start smart. So what's your what's your thoughts?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 7: So for me, man, Okay, so I'm gonna just throw
Speaker 7: Timmy Smith watching the Redskins running back gets to start
Speaker 7: in the Super Bowl rusher for two hundred four yards.
Speaker 1: Huge play.
Speaker 7: But the two that I was calling in about that,
Speaker 7: Trump's all others that for at least for football.
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner with the.
Speaker 7: Rams in ninety nine, I mean, came into a Hall
Speaker 7: of Fame career, and then of course lets effing go
Speaker 7: TB twelve. Man, there's the A one one one.
Speaker 1: I mean, we get to Tom Brady sees the moment
Speaker 1: of all moments, became the go. He ended up seizing
Speaker 1: life after that. And Kurt Warner had a movie name
Speaker 1: you know about him. I mean, those are two great examples.
Speaker 1: More examples at Covino and Rich We'll talk Justin Herbert next.
Speaker 1: CNR
