1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Playball. It's our Naber two and a happy Monday to you,

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: the seventh day of July. As we settle in today,

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: and it's all about the New York Yankees. They won

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but the bleeding continues. When asked recently if

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: the Yankees losing is taking a toll on the clubhouse,

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge said simply, quote no. How did this response

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: work for the electorate in the Bronx. Also, Paul Skens

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: over his last twelve starts for the Yankees as a

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: one point eight four ERA and a one loss record

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: of one in five. What does that signify to you?

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Also, third basement, Gino Suarez is

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: grabbing the most attention before the Major League Baseball trade deadline.

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Twenty eight home runs, seventy three RBIs for Arizona. He's

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: supposedly coveted by the Mariners and the Yankees. How does

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: all that sound to you? We'll talk about it right now.

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: Give it up for our number two. Even when winning,

17
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: it still ends up being a Bronx blooper kind of

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: a weekend. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the Ben Malar Show. We are in the air everywhere,

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: using pitchforks as we beard the Lion coast to coast,

21
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: border to border and beyond on the mast and stratophirically

22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FSR emmating live from the Crawl the

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Pub Crawl all night long from the Fox Sports Radio studios,

24
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: as approved by JD in Boston. Who knows this portion

25
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: of the Ben Maller Show on Fox made possible in

26
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: part by our friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years,

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what,

28
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: where and where they drive. All of that fast and

29
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: freeback by free Road has a protection with convenient installation

30
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com. The

31
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be, so our lead. This hour

32
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: is from the Big Apple. July fourth weekend has now

33
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: come and gone, and Baseball trying to take ownership of

34
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: the weekend. It was not must see TV for me.

35
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: Were you enchanted? Were you enchanted by Major League Baseball?

36
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: They made that a mandate. They go, Well, the NFL

37
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: and the NBA can fight over Thanksgiving and over Christmas,

38
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: but July fourth, Baby, There's no NFL games on July fourth,

39
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: there's no NBA games on July fourth. It's all about

40
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: the baseball, right, So they made it a big deal,

41
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: and to me, the big deal was the hot dog

42
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: eating contest. We mentioned that in the fifth hour podcast

43
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: The dog Father. The greatest athlete in our lifetimes, the

44
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Great Joey Chestnutt doing it yet again in Brooklyn over

45
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: the weekend, but over in Queen's not that far away there.

46
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: The Mets and Yankees wrapped up the weekend series on Sunday,

47
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: so if you were not watching this, you might have

48
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: missed it. Aaron Judge a Judge Tonian thirty third home

49
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: run and Cody Bellinger, a one time MVP who's now

50
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: a vagabond outfielder bouncing from team to team. He started

51
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: a key double play. The Yankees got some help from

52
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: the umpires, and they needed it to stop a six

53
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: game losing streak. They did for the moment, stop the bleeding,

54
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: beat the Mets six to four on Sunday, All star

55
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Max Freed. It's amazing a guy signs a big contract,

56
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: actually shows up in pitches and plays well. Max Freed,

57
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: unlike Blake Snell broy playing as I got mon Bro

58
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: Blake Snet well, Max Freed went out there risking his life.

59
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Apparently he's eleven and two. And more importantly, the definition

60
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: of a big time starter is someone where you're losing

61
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: and you put that guy in the mound, you automatically win.

62
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: So Max Freed in twelve starts after the Yankees had

63
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: lost the game, he's nine and one, nine and one,

64
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: couple of non decisions and that. So let us discuss

65
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: The key question here is not so much from the

66
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: Yankees winning on Sunday, but it's more about the commentary

67
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: recently of the face of the New York Yankees when

68
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: asked about the recent stretch of futility. Even with that

69
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: win on Sunday, it's been a bad month for the Yankees.

70
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 1: Going back to the early part of June, when asked

71
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: if the recent struggles are taking a toll on the

72
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: Yankee Clubhouse, Aaron Judge simply said, no is what he said.

73
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: So how did his response? How did his response work

74
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: for the electorate in the Bronx. So I've got Trump,

75
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: National Michelin, star chef and Vegan pot luck, and we

76
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are

77
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: going to make some popcorn freshly made buttered popcorn. Wonderful.

78
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: All right, So number one, Aaron Judge, mister big man

79
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: on campus there, this was cringe worthy. He gets the badge,

80
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: the Scouts badge for cringe. Aaron Judge does here, mister

81
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: el Capitan, the captain of the Yankees, the face of

82
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: the franchise, six foot seven lumberjack, a human billboard for

83
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: the Bronx Bombers and all that. But he said the

84
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: thing you can't say at the time, you can't say it.

85
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: And it's not so much about one quote. It's not

86
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: so much about that. It's about what that particular quote represents.

87
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: It's about the tone. It's about being aware. Situational awareness,

88
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: very important, situational awareness. Now you don't have to be

89
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: a Navy seal, but you should have situational awareness to

90
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: know that that is not the time nor the place

91
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: to say what Aaron Judge said over the weekend. It's

92
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: about understanding the moment, understanding the fan base, understanding the customers,

93
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: all of that. And Aaron Judge just looked out of place,

94
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: looked out of place. Don't want to deal with it.

95
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: So he's gonna kind of run away from the heat

96
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh no, no, we're fine. Everything is

97
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: fine here, absolutely So he's reading off a Q card

98
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in a submarine.

99
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: But if you're honest, even with the win against the

100
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Mets on Sunday, the Yankees continue to be a hot

101
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: mess and the one win does not change things here.

102
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: The Yankees over their last twenty two games have lost

103
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: sixteen of their last twenty two games. Now, I didn't

104
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: play in the major leagues. I just hosted overnight talked show.

105
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: That sucks. Okay where I sit there, she blows, as

106
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: they say in pirate Land. So sixteen losses in the

107
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: last twenty two games for the Yankees, and you are

108
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: what your record says you are, and of late, that

109
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: is not a good baseball team. And they're playing like

110
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: a team going through the motions. You see a lot

111
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: of the time teams that are eliminated from playoff consideration

112
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: and they just kind of lolly gag around like the

113
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: whole thing. It's been a boondoggle for the Yankees lately.

114
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: And you don't want to hear when you're going through

115
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: a rough patch like this, everything's fine. You don't want

116
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: to hear it, right, that's not leadership. That's not accountability

117
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: by Aaron Judge. And it's not even reality is It's

118
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: just not it's not anything. You're the captain of the

119
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. You're not playing for the Toledo mud Hens.

120
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: You're not so the Yankees the mighty in New York. Yeah,

121
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: you have the brag off Yankee baseball, this, that and

122
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: the other thing. So you don't just get to strug off,

123
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: shrug off with a wink and a nod, a bad

124
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: mud of baseball like it's a bad round of golf

125
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: at the Trump National and you just said, well, it

126
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: was just not my day and my clubs were not

127
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: we're not working the right way. No, you don't get

128
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: to do that. And you know you got to at

129
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: least pretend like you're upset. Right, you're the captain of

130
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Again, when teams losing, the fans are booing

131
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: and they're unhappy. You don't get to act like it's

132
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: business as usual when you're the captain of the yank

133
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: and you just can't can't be doing it. You're supposed

134
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: to set the tone. I think that's that's where to go.

135
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: You carry the weight and you can't say no to that.

136
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: When asked if the team's unrappling, it's obviously unraveling, and

137
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, he said, well, you can say a lot

138
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: of different cliches. That's not the one to say, though.

139
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: He said, well, it's frustrating. We'll be better. We got

140
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: to be better, blacking all those kinds of things, but

141
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: you gotta show some kind of pulse, some kind of

142
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: pulse and h right now and Judge seem tone death,

143
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: seem tone death, and it's like he's more worried about

144
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: his next commercial shoot then he is. The Yankees who

145
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: have fallen behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League.

146
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: Eastendies now page two to Pittsburgh, PA. We go well,

147
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: actually Seattle, where the Pirates were about as far away

148
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh as they can get over the weekend and

149
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: the old sweeperoo bupkis zip bow and zero for the

150
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates. After shutting out the Cardinals for three games

151
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: in a row, they got shut out for three games

152
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: in a row. So that continues a recent stretch of

153
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: stinkage for the Pirates, including the game on Sunday started

154
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: by Paul Skeins. His last twelve starts. His last twelve

155
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: starts for the Pirates, he has an earned run average.

156
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: Paul Skeins, the phenom of phenoms, has an earn run

157
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: average of one point eighty four. We are told, Yet

158
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: his one loss record in his last twelve starts one

159
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: win and five losses the buckoes record in those twelve starts.

160
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: So what does that signify to you? What does that

161
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: signify to you? That's the question. So for me, the

162
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: er right, the king of earned run average and domination

163
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: situation and all this stuff. The a's the record says, hey,

164
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: this guy is an ace, but right now, when he's pitching,

165
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: it's like ace Ventura. For the rest of the Pirates

166
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: there it's not going so well there. And it's not misleading,

167
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: it's insulting when this guy's pitching and you've only won

168
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: one of he's only won one of the twelve starts,

169
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: and yet he's got an ERA under two and the buckos.

170
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: When you have a pitcher this good, right, it's like

171
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: you've given a Michelin Star check. You're not apparently not

172
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: able to eat at Michelin Star restaurants, courting and people

173
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: I work with, But the Michelin Star chef. You give

174
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: the chef a microwave and you say, make it work, right,

175
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: just make it work. Put in the microwave, heat it up.

176
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: But you've got a generational arm, like once in a

177
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: generation the guy comes along like Paul Skins and you're

178
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: essentially backing him with a super soaker water gun, is

179
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: what you're doing on offense. And then the Buckos are

180
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: looking at Picasso and they're using a Picasso. They bought

181
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: a Picasso and they're using it as a coaster on

182
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: the end table. It's a nice Pocasta. We'll put it

183
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: down here, we'll put a drink on it, and that's it.

184
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: And you keep hanging ls and he's pitching great, he's

185
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: pitching amazingly. And you know, Paul Skins is everything he

186
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: was supposed to be in terms of the hype and

187
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: all that. And usually these guys don't live up to

188
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: the hype. And we've ranted about a prospect as a

189
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: suspect until proven otherwise, and he's done it. And yet

190
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: the pirates are also living up to the hype. Everything

191
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: we thought the Pirates were, they are when Paul Skins

192
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: is on the mount. So this stretch, its signifies cut

193
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: to the chase. It signifies that if he keeps us up,

194
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: he is going to need some therapy, a trade. Both

195
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: all of the above, all of that and the Pirates

196
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: who have been given not because if they did any good,

197
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: you get Paul Skins, because you're bad and you have

198
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: a top pick in the draft, and they had a

199
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: high pick and they got Paul Skins. They've been given

200
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: this great pitcher and they're gonna blow it the flets

201
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: it away and then eventually he'll be pitching for the Dodgers,

202
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: of the Yankees, of the Red Sox, and they'll get

203
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: a bag of suspects. All right, now, final point, So

204
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: flipping the page, we mentioned the trade deadline we talked

205
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: about last hour. Brian Reynolds of the Pirates. He's got

206
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars contract, he's not particularly great, and

207
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: he's got a no trade list. So the Dodgers who

208
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: would like to acquire his services cannot trade for him

209
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: unless he approves the trade because he has them on

210
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: their no trade list. So I mentioned that because another

211
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: player who is likely going to be traded uh Eugenio Suarez,

212
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: the third basem Gino swore As of the diamond back.

213
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: He is grabbing a lot of attention here before the

214
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: trade deadline, and he's got now twenty eight home runs,

215
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:12,119
Speaker 1: seventy three RBIs, and the Yankees and the Seattle Mariners,

216
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: along with the Detroit Tigers and some other teams all

217
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: said to be knocking on the door there saying, hey,

218
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: can we get our hands on this guy? So how

219
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: does all of that sound to you? How does all

220
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: of that sound to you? So to me, Gino swore

221
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: as the third baseman of the diamery right now. He's

222
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: not just the flavor of the month here. That's one

223
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: thing about the trade deadline. There's always got to be

224
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: that flavor, that popular person for popular people. But he's

225
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: pretty much the entire tasting menu if you look at

226
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: who's likely going to be traded, and there was always

227
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: the surprise. The great thing about sports is anyone can

228
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: be traded at any time. If you don't believe me,

229
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: ask Luka Doncik about that. The Mavericks just handed him

230
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: away to the Lakers. So anything is possible in any sport.

231
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: But here's a guy who's like a silver slugger candidate,

232
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: and he's out there and it's you know, it's like, hey,

233
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: this guy could be moved like a bowl of chili

234
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: at a cookoff. Just get rid of this guy. That's it.

235
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: And now the trade deadline looming, it's like a bad

236
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: hangover for a lot of these teams.

237
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: Here.

238
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: The vultures are out circling around. And so of course

239
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: the Yankees, who need a third basement, would say, all right,

240
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: this guy Suarez, let's see we can get him. And

241
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: it's like the last stake at a vegan pot luck.

242
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: If you're the Yankees. They want to move Jazz Chisholm

243
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: full time to second base and DJ Lemayhew to the

244
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: bench or to the broadcast booth on the S network

245
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: and just put him out there and have him do

246
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: his thing. So there is that. And now the Mariners,

247
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: that's that's the perfect Marin move. They had him, they

248
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: traded him. He was in Seattle, came over from Cincinnati.

249
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: They traded him to Arizona. So now they're like, well,

250
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get him back. It's like we got that

251
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: item on Amazon. We returned it, but now we're going

252
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: to buy it again. We already had it, but no,

253
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: I know we won't. We we didn't appreciate it. But

254
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: now we want it. We want to buy the item again,

255
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: so we'll just do that. And now they're trying to

256
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: undo the damage. So maybe I'll have a reunion tour.

257
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: And there's some other teams mentioned. You know, it's like

258
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: the Mariners, though, would be perfect. He's such a great

259
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: classic Mariner move where they trade for a guy that

260
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: it's like breaking up with your ex and then you

261
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: watch the X go on and do some really good

262
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: things and you're like, all right, well, let's see if

263
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: we can get that get back together with the X.

264
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: And the bottom line, though, he is a rental at

265
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: the trade downline, which is why these big market teams

266
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: likely won. And he's also thirty three years old, so

267
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: he's at the end of his athletic prime and not

268
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: hitting for much of an average, but that's a that's

269
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: a boomer stat, that's an old head stat. That batting average,

270
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight home runs, and the numbers all indicate that

271
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: he's still uber productive, still one of the better offensive

272
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: power hitters in baseball, and the kind of a player

273
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: that in a playoff run could play well for a

274
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks in October and all of a sudden

275
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: you get a hunk of metal. All right, It is

276

00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: fatherly shove, A fatherly shout. What is that all about?

290
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: We'll get to it. And a rap rather odd programming choice,

291
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,040

Speaker 1: he says, and haunt the Pirates twenty games a year. Well,

321
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: he's not gonna start twenty games against the Chicago Cubs.

322
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: Maybe three at the most, says. The Cubs are winning

323
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five World Series. Want to bet on that, Josh, Yeah,

324
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: let's bet on that. Billy from Florida right since, says

325
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: June and July have just been the seeing the best

326
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: baseball being played in New York. I just haven't seen

327
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: the best baseball being played in New York. The Mets

328
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: have bounced back. Find the Yankees are hitting the wall.

329
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: I saw coming, says Billy as he points that wee

330
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: let's say the June gloom, but now it's July, so

331
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: it's no longer the June gloom. What else do we have?

332
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: Page down, Jill says, you are literally the only human

333
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: being that speaks negatively about Aaron Judge. Well, I guess

334
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: I'm on the right side. Everyone else is just a

335
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: boot licker. Joe. You probably like those boot lickers more

336
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: than me right, because it's your guy Aaron Judge.

337
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: There.

338
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't say anything bad about him. That was

339
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: a tone deaf comment thought by Aaron Judge. It's a

340
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: bad job by him. I just go to the phones

341
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: and we'll say hello to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome,

342
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: good evening.

343
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 5: Ben, nice to be with you to start a new week.

344
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 5: Starting off talking about situation with the Houston Astros.

345
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: Okay, you didn't say you didn't You didn't. You didn't

346
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: say that properly. You misspoke.

347
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 5: I didn't misspoke emotion.

348
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: You're supposed to say the cheating asstros.

349
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 5: Yeah they are.

350
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 6: They are cheated astros right.

351
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 5: Like they got a Scarlett letter in terms of what

352
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: the inn that they can't they can't get away from it.

353
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 5: But for me, yes, they did sweep the Dodgers, you know,

354
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 5: so they're walking tall for the time being. Even though

355
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 5: the Dodgers are defending champions, I think they're no overall

356
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 5: the better team.

357
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: You know.

358
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 5: So you're strutting and you know, feeling yourself at the moment,

359
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 5: but we've got to push past it. There needs to

360
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 5: be some sort of catharist with the app.

361
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll make a deal with you, all right, I

362
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: agree with you, all right. So jose Al tub is

363
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: banned from baseball for life, Alex Bregman is banned from

364
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: baseball for life. Let's see who else you sind the

365
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen World Series trophy. You void that, then I'll

366
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: be good. I will never call them the cheating a

367
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: holes again. How about that deal? That's all I ask,

368
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: that's all, that's all, that's all I want those three things. Now.

369
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm willing to exchange maybe Bregman for George Springer, who

370
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: was the I believe, the MVP of that World Series.

371
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: But all of them should be banned for life. How

372
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: about that? That seems fair?

373
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 5: Right, Ben? I know you're you're a learned individual. It

374
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 5: seems like you just got finished reading Crime and Punishment.

375
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: By Well, you said you want me to move past this.

376
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: So for me to move past what the a holes

377
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: did they you first take away? It's just a hunk

378
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: of metal. Corder Rob Manford, the gutless, spineless commissioner Major

379
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: League Baseball. So you take the trophy away, that's easy.

380
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: That should be no problems, just a hunk of metal.

381
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: Who cares? And then you know you've been l two

382
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: A for life. You rescind the MVP award from twenty

383
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: seventeen because that doesn't count because he was gee and

384
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: you get rid of George Springer and Bregman and every

385
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: single member of that team boom done. That seems fair

386
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: And I promise you, I promise I will absolutely move on.

387
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: That's all I asked. That's what is not to like

388
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: about that? Andre? What's what? What is incorrect?

389
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 7: Yeah?

390
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 5: Goodness, that's like three strikes here. We're going back to

391
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 5: the eighties. That sounds like the Rocketfeller lost in me

392
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 5: very hard.

393
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: Well what what what?

394
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 7: What?

395
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 5: What?

396
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: What do you recommend?

397
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 7: Okay?

398
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 5: So first of all, MVP trophy, we got to take

399
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 5: that away, MVP trophy.

400
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

401
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 5: Then there's got to be some sort of there's got

402
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 5: to be some sort of asterisk with the what the world?

403
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: There's no as you just take it away. That's it.

404
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: There's no asterisk. You just take it away. You just

405
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: make advantage it doesn't you just don't put no championship.

406
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: You know what I think that I'm looking for for

407
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 5: me personally, Okay, because we learned this, you know from Seinfeld.

408
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,320

409
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 5: if you go on that line, okay, and you act

410
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 5: and inappropriately as George did, no soup for you, okay,

00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't care about the I don't care about the finances.

438
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: I don't care now the finances. I don't care about it.

439
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: Just panel touve have him pay back the salary he's

440
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: made since twenty seventeen, and then we will be good.

441
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: How about that.

442
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 5: He's an issue with al Tube, then I think there's

443
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 5: a Napoleon issue with you and l Tub. He has

444
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 5: an Napoleon comedy.

445
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: The Man, the Man. The man cheated in the World Series,

446
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: and he was wearing a buzzer, in my opinion, during

447
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: the American League Championship Series, and that's why they wouldn't

448
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: allow him to take his jersey off. He would not

449
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: allow that because he had a buzzer on. You do

450
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: understand andre like Baseball did a shoddy investigation. The only

451
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: reason Baseball, by the way, I want to point out,

452
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: they investigated while they were cheating. In twenty seventeen, the

453
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: Athletics and some other teams in baseball contacted Major League

454
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: Baseball and said, hey, these guys, they're doing something. They're cheating.

455
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Baseball investigated said where everything's good, We're all kosher. Nothing's

456
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: wrong here. Everything's all right while they were doing it.

457
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: It was only after a member of the team said,

458
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: is that Andre? Is that your dog? Andre? Willis picking

459
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: up what.

460
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 5: You're putting down, Ben, And you waited Willis, as far

461
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 5: as I'm concerning, all right, he's on your side. For me,

462
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 5: I think I'm against the Lifetime band because baseball did

463
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: it with Pete Roseen and they finally walked it back

464
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 5: post humously.

465
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: Well, listen went now is dead. He can come back

466
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: in baseball. I've got that done. We'll let him back here.

467
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: He died in a year.

468
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 5: Band, You've got to go for a year.

469
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: But we needed we Well I would have been okay

470
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: with a year and when it was announced, like twenty

471
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: nineteen or whenever the thing came out, the story came out.

472
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: But it's been too long, so we moved on. Now

473
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: it's time lifetime.

474
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 5: My last conclusion al has short king energy. So it's

475
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 5: a year band, I'm saying. You're saying lifetime. I'm saying

476
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 5: a year so we can come back and hit the

477
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: jacks and give everybody under six feet some confidence for

478
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 5: me and Willis. Ben, it's good to.

479
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 7: Be with you.

480
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you, thank you.

481
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: All right, there's Andre where he goes. Only he knows

482
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: the one and only Andre. Later hour, we do have

483
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: Mallard third degree. That'll be coming up a little bit

484
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: later in the hour. The fatherly shout. So some video

485
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: has made the rounds on the interweb, and I've seen it,

486
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: and it claims to show Yankee shortstop Anthony Volpi's father

487
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: going at it with a Mets fan, the daddy, the

488
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: dad of Anthony Volpi at the Mets Yankees game on Sunday,

489
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: a very annoying Mets fan. Do you even have to

490
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: say annoying Mets fan? Is there a Mets fan that

491
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: is not annoying? Anyway, this Mets fan was talking some

492
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: trash about the kid Volpi and the dad was sitting

493
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: a couple of rows behind him and wearing his Yankee

494
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: hat and had enough and so he got into it

495
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 1: with the Mets fan and it was all captured on

496
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: grainy cell phone footage. There was no physical viose. It

497
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: was more of a profanity situation between the father of

498
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpey. Now Anthony Volpi though, is not what he

499
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: was supposed to be. And we talk about prospect being

500
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: a suspect until proven otherwise, But Anthony Volpi, who was

501
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: going to be the next great Yankee shortstop and all

502
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: that stuff. He's got a lot of clunkers. Can I

503
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: watch a fair amount of baseball every day, and when

504
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Yankees, there's a lot of clunky baseball

505
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: from Anthony Volpi. Who you know. The overall numbers, I

506
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: guess it depends what you look at. He's batting average

507
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: ank great, that's an old stat. Batting average, he's got

508
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: ten home runs, just seems pretty run of the mill.

509
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like he's all that great. You know,

510
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: he's just kind of there and you could do better

511
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: than Anthony Volpi. And the numbers are just kind of eh.

512
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: And he plays at a little league ballpark. It's a

513
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: joke of a ballpark, Yankee Stadium. It's not a real

514
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: ballpark with those dimensions they have at Yankee Stadium. So

515
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: he's on pace to hit eighteen home runs, thirty eight

516
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: doubles and all that, and that's great. He's also on

517
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: pace to strike out one hundred and sixty two times.

518
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Strikedowns don't matter, and all that. Anyway's

519
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: go back to the falls. Let's say hello to Jerome

520
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: in Charleston. Bring it home, Jerome.

521
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: Hello Jerome, So so you saw my name and you

522
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: decided to bring up the incongruity of Yankee Stadium along

523
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: with other baseball.

524
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 7: Stadiums in America, the people playing with the two hundred

525
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 7: and ninety five foot right field. Hey, what about the

526

527
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 7: home run the other day, and their right field corner

528
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 7: ain't much banner once are like two hundred and twenty

529
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 7: three after oh one, jevany one got a home one

530
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 7: because they.

531
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: First of all, you're you might be drinking too much

532
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: if you think Dodger Stadium is anywhere close to Yankee

533
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: Stadium in terms.

534
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 7: Of people right field corner.

535
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: It's like three thirty three or three four or something

536
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: like that.

552
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,600

00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 7: where he was like two and on one on one

00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,640

561
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 7: favorite Clayer because he called him bulldog.

562
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: That was not a few years ago. That was almost

563
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: forty years ago. I know it was more than a

564
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: few few years ago. That was a long time ago.

565
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 7: I was still brings back memories, man, because I have

566
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,120

Speaker 1: Well, that's not even your way. Wait wait, hold on,

568
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: what I hate to do this because he's an evil Giant,

569
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: but Madison Bumgardner was. It was similar for the Giants.

570
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: In a couple of playoff runs. He was insane for

571
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Giants. That was, in my bum Gardner

572
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: consistently the greatest postseason pitcher I've seen. And Hershizer for

573
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: that one year was awesome for the Dodgers, but mad.

574
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 7: Bum went against the as one of the most dynamic

575
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 7: teams in baseball history. They won one hundred and four games,

576
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 7: two and all. What a one ear and over fifty

577
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 7: something straight innings without a run scored with him.

578
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna break We're not breaking down the

579
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight World Series, and next hour we're gonna

580
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: break down the nineteen eighty four Detroit Tigers. We'll talk

581
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: about sweet Little Whitaker and Alan.

582
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 7: One thing deal with people trying to get dive bonds

583
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 7: in the Hall of fam Dive bonds will never get

584
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 7: in the Hall of tam And as far as Sammy,

585
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 7: he looks like a.

586
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: White guy now so well, no, he went back to

587
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: being a black guy. Now. I saw it, and the

588
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,239
Speaker 1: Cubs had him in a game he looked like I

589
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: saw him at Wrigley feel he's back to being the

590
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: old Sam know this blah, that's right, that's the great

591
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: la Matt used to call the show back in the day.

592
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 7: And I was looking at some stuff because one of

593
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 7: the things that can do to you is deal with

594
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 7: your skin pigmentation. Why would you no.

595
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: Come on? So, so he admitted he was taking stuff

596
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: to whiteen his skin. He said that there's stories where

597
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: we talked about it, like he's that's why he was

598
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: doing that. I don't know why he was doing but

599
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do something. I don't know. You'd have

600
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: to ask him. I'm not doing it. He was the

601
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: one doing it. I don't know why I did it.

602
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: He did it. But I don't know why I did it.

603
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: He did it. But but by the way, at your home,

604
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: you do realize there are players in the Hall of

605
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: Fame that were doing steroids, Like so, why would you

606
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: eliminate Bonds and Sosa when there are guys in there

607
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: that are steroid guys? So what's the point keeping the

608
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: comments and clements made.

609
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 7: I know the comment was made to well Barr should

610
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 7: be because everybody was doing it. What a damn line.

611
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: No, no, no, My my argument my argument. You're home

612
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: at the time, and I said this for you. We

613
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: used to fight. There was a guy who worked at MLB.

614
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: He was like a houseman for baseball. I forget the

615
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: guy's name. Used to be our insider here at Fox

616
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and we would fight with him all. I

617
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: would fight with the mall Toney's all He's go. I say,

618
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: don't let any of them in. But I there are

619
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: people in multiple players that were I believe in my opinion.

620
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: You can't assume it's my opinion. We're steroid guys who

621
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: were in the Hall of Fame. So why are you

622
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: gonna deprive of Barry Bonds of being a hall of

623
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: fame when you've already opened the doors of Cooperstown to

624
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: steroid cheats. So let them in. Let them ally, all right,

625
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: my opinion, David Ortiz and Mike Piazza are in the

626
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Jeff Bagwell's another one. Yeah, yeah, okay,

627
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: so they're in the Hall of Fame my opinion. You

628
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: can't say it's my opinion.

629
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 7: Has an awful relationship with the media, definitely.

630
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: Well, yes, he's an a hole. Berry. I dealt with

631
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: him back in those days. He was a schmock. He is,

632
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: He's aid, you know, he's a just a I can't

633
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: say what I want to say, but he's not a

634
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: good dude. You know, he treats people.

635
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 7: Like crapping Buddy Tom.

636
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: Then the Boston Red Sox. He's an ambassador for the

637
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox. He's on the payroll with He's on

638
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: the payroll the Boston Red Sox. He is in fact,

639
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: remember remember the David Ortiz was he was texting Raphael

640
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: Devers and ignored him because, you know, Devers realizes that

641
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: David Ortiz works for the Red Soie. So he's inside

642
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: by the wait, the.

643
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 7: Managers for the afters of that time they were a chieving.

644
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 7: Guess where he met.

645
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: I know I said that early. Yes, I know he's

646
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: with Detroit. Yeah, all right, are you done? I feel

647
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: like you're bullguarding the show. Are a You had to think?

648
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: Go away? All right? Go? Thank you? All right? Very

649
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: long call from Jerome in Charleston. So wonderful. Absolutely, So

650
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: here's an odd choice. Major League Baseball has ended their

651
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: television contract with ESPN, although they are renegotiating. They hit

652
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: the eject button from that contract. So on Sunday, ESPN

653
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: decided while the All Star Selection Show was going on,

654
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: what did they show on ESPN instead? We are told

655
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: I did not see this because I was watching something else.

656
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: But they apparently showed cornhole instead of the All Star

657
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: Selection show. Nice game of corner, like the kind of

658
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: game that you would play at a Fourth of July barbecue,

659
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: And they said, let's see what we got going on.

660
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: It was the corn Hole Championship and I guess it

661
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: went long or something like that. I think that's what happened.

662
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: The start of the All Star Selection show was delayed

663
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: for at least ten minutes because of some competitive cornhole

664
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: and when it's close, it's nail bidding time. And the

665
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: show was supposed to begin at five o'clock Eastern time,

666
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: but it was preempted by not amateur, but professional corn

667
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: hole and there you go. So they say, that's it.

668
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: People are pointing out, what are you doing? I tuned in.

669
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: I want to watch this and we had to delay

670
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: it because of the nice cornhole game. A right, it

671
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: is the Ben Mal Show. Well that sure that'll be

672
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: brought up and baseball negotiats. I've heard some varying rumors.

673
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: My TV friends telling me that NBC involved, that they

674
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: might everyone wants to get baseball on their streaming package,

675
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: but baseball wants to be on regular cable television. So

676
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: there's like, what are we gonna do? How they gonna

677
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: divide the games? Up time? Now for the Insta Trivia,

678
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,120

Speaker 1: All right, cooler.

733
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 6: The Miami Dolphins had one of the top offensives in

734
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 6: the NFL in twenty twenty three, but missed the playoffs

735
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 6: last year. The summer saying the team is teetering on

736
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 6: the edge of a franchise reset. But do you think

737
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 6: the jobs of Tula and McDaniel are on the line

738
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 6: next season?

739
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: Well, as you heard last week, I know you weren't here,

740
00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: but I know you listen to the show because you're producing.

741
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: So I did a full Mallar monologue about this particular topic.

742
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: And as I pointed out in that Mallar monologue's available

743
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: on the podcast down load, absolutely to and Mike McDaniel

744
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: and the GM there, all of them. This is it.

745
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: This is the last chance saloon there for the Dolphins.

746
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: Even Stevin Meatballs can see that.

747
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 6: Next cal Raley has reached new career high in home

748
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 6: runs for a single season and we haven't even reached

749
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 6: the All Star break. In fact, he's tied Ken Griffy

750
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 6: Junior's Mariners record for most dingers before the break. Do

751
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 6: you think the al MVP is the big numbers to lose?

752
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: No, Because the Mariners are a playoff team. They're a

753
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: wild kid team, so are the Yankees. But Aaron Judge

754
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: is in the lead and he's It would be a

755
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: monumental upset if Aaron Judge does not win the MVP

756
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: Award in the Americanly and Cal Rawley's been great and

757
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: wonderful and all that, but he plays in Seattle. That's

758
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: going to hurt him.

759
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 6: Next, the Sons gave Devin Booker another extension. He's gonna

760
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 6: be signed with them through twenty thirty. With Durant now

761
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 6: in Houston, the Sons are in rebuild mode. Do you

762
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,240
Speaker 6: think that Booker is a player worth building around?

763
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: Well, they can try. They were in the finals against Milwaukee.

764
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: They couldn't get it done. They're not gonna win with

765
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: Devin Booker as their headliner. It's not gonna work. How

766
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: do we do it is that's a win? Put on

767
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: the ball.
