1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,599
Speaker 1: Playball.

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: It's our number three, our number three, ready to go.

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: And here in our number three talk in baseball, the

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: playoffs begin today in baseball, we're gonna look at some.

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Of the teams that didn't make the playoffs. Though.

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: Here in our number three of the Ben Mather Show.

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: What message are the New York Metropolitans sending to their

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: fans after this epic choke job? They keep manager Carlos Mendoza.

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: Apparently they like that Mendoza line. And why was Bob

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: Melvin given his walking papers in the Bay Area as

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Giants manager hey out he gone, while the Pittsburgh Pirates

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: are keeping their interim manager Don Kelly and the GM

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Ben Charrington. How does that impact the future of star

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: pitcher Paul Skens. The silly season of baseball, the Hot

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,120

00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: our number three. There used to be a point in

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: time where if you underachieved, if you lacked the pedigree

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: to get a job done, you lost your job. In

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: many cases, that is not happening anymore. In the industrial

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: complex of professional sports. Well come in the beginning of

Speaker 2: on the Riddle of the Day. Also Mallard's Mountain of Money.

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna get away from the football because we got

48
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: baseball action. We have Major League Baseball playoff activity today

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: talking bays ball.

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, all day.

51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: And depending on where you are on the West Coast,

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: these games start at ten in the morning, getting up

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: for the middle part of that early game. But it's

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Guardians and the Tigers, So I don't know

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: that it's a must see, must see TV now with

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: that as the backdrop, and we will spend a lot

57
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 2: of time over the next month or so talking about

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: the baseball playoffs, the good, the.

59
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: Bad, and we love the ugly. We're all about the ugly.

60
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: We love the ugly.

61
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 2: But I bring this up here because the fallout from

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: the regular season still has some legs as the playoffs

63
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: will get going here on Tuesday. So the teams that

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: didn't get invited, the teams that are not the cool

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: kids not invited to the party, left to pick up

66
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: the pieces, if you will. Now, one of those teams

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: is the New York Metropolitans. If you saw what happened

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: to they were epic choking dogs. The New York Mets.

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: Just pathetic, spineless baseball by the New York Mets.

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: So what do they do?

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: They obviously fired their manager as a no brainer. You

72
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: play like that, you fire the Mendoza line, No say what?

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: No?

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: They I'm telling you they didn't fire him. I know

75
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: it's shocking. Well, Carlos Mendoza has been given a pardon

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: by the New York Mets front office.

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: He will return.

78
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: According to the early word out of Flushing, the Mets

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: will keep Carlos Mendoza as their manager. In twenty twenty

80
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: six that according to the President of Baseball Ops Chief

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: nerd David sterns Zah, he said, quote, I believe Carlos

82
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: has all the same traits and assets that we believed

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: in when we hired him two years ago, the Mets

84
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: brainy executive said today media gathering at City Field. So

85
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: the dissecting and the analyzing of the Mets and other

86
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: teams underway, and the decision to keep the manager, I

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: think that's a good jumping off point. So let's discuss

88
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 2: the question what message are the New York Mets sending

89
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: their fans by keeping manager Carlos Mendoza.

90
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: Is there a message that they are sending. So I've got.

91
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: Waffle house, drywall, and cafeteria food and we'll combine all

92
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: of these things together to make the Baba Ganoosh. We're

93
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: gonna make the Baba Ganoosh. Now, first of all, welcome,

94
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: for those of you a little slow in the back

95
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: of the room, we'd like to welcome you to modern

96
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: professional sports, in this case professional baseball. The manager for

97
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: about one hundred and seventy five years, the manager in

98
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball was expendable that if things were not

99
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: going well, the line.

100
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Is, you can't get rid of the players. You get

101
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: rid of the manager. Cannot do it, cannot do it.

102
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: Like the manager is just the guy that hands over

103
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: the lineup card to the umpires and that's it. That's

104
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: his power, and that's all. And that's the way baseball

105
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: is today. Like that's the way they operate here. That's

106
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: the superpower. That's it. It's like you're the assistant shift

107
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: manager at Walmart. You're not the one making the decisions.

108
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: You're not that guy. Pal and Carlos Mendoza, ironically, the

109
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: Mendoza line, he's not pushing the buttons, he's not deciding

110
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 2: who plays and where they play and when they play,

111
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: and how often they play. He's not doing any of that,

112
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 2: all right, that's it. He's just kind of hanging out.

113
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: You gotta read the three ring Binder. Now, you do

114
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: have to read the three ring Binder. The general manager

115
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: David Sterns with his Harvard degree Harvard YUD. He's the

116
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: puppet master. David Stearns is the puppet master the Mets.

117
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: They've got Nerd Army, right. Nerd Army is the front office.

118
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: They're the ones that do all the managing of the

119
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: New York Mets. And they put the lineup together that

120
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: Mendoza goes out and trots out and hands to the

121
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: umpiring crew and here, mister Mendoza, play one. So here,

122
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: I want you to put Pete Alonzo in this spot

123
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: in the lineup because the algorithm says he's going to

124
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: do pretty well there. And then I want you to

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: shift Jeff McNeil like this, and then Mendoza just nods okay,

126
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: and then I'll talk to the media and then that'll

127
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: be that. He's essentially Surrey with like with syrups. He

128
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: gets to where the uniform right and all that, and

129
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: that's great. But in the old days, this would never fly.

130
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: You could not get away with something like this for

131
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five years of baseball. But now,

132
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: times obviously have changed, and so now it's like, okay.

133
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Forget about. You blew the entire season.

134
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: The team sucked, the players are chronic underachievers, and you

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: had the biggest payroll in baseball. Your ass is supposed

136
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: to be grass. But not anymore, right, not anymore. You know,

137
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: for a long time, before the team even got back

138
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: to their home city after the final game, the manager

139
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: was given its walking papers see you later. But in

140
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: the old country, the owners, when it was a mom

141
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: and pop here's the guy, right thing. When it was

142
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: a mom and pop business, managers were whacked all the time. Hey,

143
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: they got rid of these guys all the time, and

144
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: they just, well, you follow instructions now, that's all you're

145
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: supposed to do. But in the old days, you wouldnt

146
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: even get off the tarmac to get on the plane.

147
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: They'd leave you behind and be like, oh, you've got

148
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: to figure out your travel arrangements to get back to

149
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: where you need to go. And the manager's just a

150
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: temporary person there. It's like a substitute teacher and just

151
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: kind of do your thing, and that's it.

152
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: And the Mets, even though they're.

153
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: Not owned by a mega corporation, but they're owned by

154
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: a fanboy. And Steven Cohne, the Mets owner there, and

155
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: what is he telling. The message here is rather obvious.

156
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: The message from the New York Mets is this is

157
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: not Carlos Mendoza's team.

158
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: We have neutered him.

159
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: He has no balls. The manager of the Mets is

160
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: a ballless wonder. We're gonna bring him back because he

161
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 2: has no nuts, and he doesn't make any decisions. All right,

162
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: that's it, no decisions. We'll bring him back. And it's

163
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: just the algorithm. Blame the algorithm. You can't blame the

164
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: algorithm because it's just an algorithm.

165
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: And that's all. He's just a.

166
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 2: Middle manager, Carlos Mendoza. He might as well be working

167
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: at a waffle house in South Carolina. His job is

168
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: to make sure the hash browns get to the table,

169
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: while the real power is the person making the hash

170
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: browns in the kitchen and the ball of grits and

171
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: the pecan waffles and all that stuff. Now, so the

172
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: Mets are flat out saying again for those of you

173
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: a little slow. The Mets are flat out saying that

174
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: results don't matter. Carlos Mendoza doesn't matter. He doesn't make

175
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: any decisions. There's no real accountability. And I'm just gonna motorrod.

176
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: That's it, Chop, that's it. It's a motorod. As long

177
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: as the nerds in the lab coats approve of the lineup,

178
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: and Mendoza just keeps sending out the same crap, that's

179
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: all that matters.

180
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: He's safe.

181
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 5: Now.

182
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: Secondly, we did we did get a change in San Francisco.

183
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: Bob Melvin, he goll see you later. Bob Melvin. Two

184
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: first names, Bob mikes. Melvin's the first old first name.

185
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: But Bob Melvin has been whack a doodle. He's out

186
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: whacked as the manager of the Giants, See you later.

187
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: The Giants played one hundred and sixty two games. They

188
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: lost eighty one, they won eighty one average average.

189
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: Now, they did tease fans a couple of times.

190
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: They got off to a pretty good start, and then

191
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: they went on a terrible dumpster fire run. Then they

192
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: won thirteen out of sixteen in late August early September,

193
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: worked themselves back into playoff contention because everyone's a contender

194
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: in baseball.

195
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: And then they.

196
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: Went two to nine in a stretch and then that

197
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: was not an ana.

198
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: Good Bye.

199
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: That's it now. Buster Posey, grown man named Buster, not

200
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: his real name. He said, just looking to find a

201
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: different voice that can take us in a different direction.

202
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: Close quote from Buster Posey, the general manager of the Giants.

203
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: So San Francisco, we know they went big. In fact,

204
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: the night I was at the the only Dodger game

205
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: I went to this year with the Marlins man, my

206
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: buddy Marlin's man. He's very upset the match did not

207
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. He has He sent me a message

208
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: I got Mets tickets for all the playoff games.

209
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: They're not in the playoffs. Well, I said, well that's

210
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: a bummer anyway.

211
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: So they traded for rafa Ol Devers from the Red

212
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 2: Sox on a Sunday night, just before a Sunday night game,

213
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: and they were supposed to turn.

214
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: On the afterburns. The never turned on the after burners.

215
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 2: Didn't happen. Didn't happen, So the question why the Mets,

216
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: who underachieved. They kept their manager, but in San Francisco

217
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: not the case. So why was Bob Melvin given his

218
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: walking papers as the Giants manager when the Giants didn't

219
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: have any real expectations this year compared to the team

220
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: like the Mets.

221
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: So this was a more of a mercy firing.

222
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: What happened in San Francisco disguised as a philosophical pivot

223
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: by the franchise. Like Bob Melvin, the problem he had

224
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: is the team was boring and he's boring. Can't have both,

225
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: cannot have both. And you don't need some kind of

226
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: sabermetric chart. I don't need to put a chart up

227
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: to show you here to figure out that the Giants

228
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: had a morbid offense this year. They played bland baseball,

229
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: a lack of passion. If they were a color in

230
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: the rainbow, they would be beige. Well, there's no bage

231
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: in the rainbow. Just go with it, dummy, It's beige.

232
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: Beige baseball is what it is. They teased, they choked,

233
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 2: They teased a get, They choked to get eighty one

234
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: and eighty one. That is baseball's version of driving cross

235
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: country and never leaving a rest stop. That is essentially

236
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: what the Giants did. Now here's the key. The difference.

237
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: When you juxtapose what the Giants are doing firing Bob

238
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: Melvin compared to the Mets and Carlos Mendoza. The difference here,

239
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: and this is a big one, is Buster Posey is

240
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: not some kind of mit nerd.

241
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: He is not.

242
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: He didn't ride the Ivy League coattails the gravy train

243
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: there in some corner office. And he's a kid from

244
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: Georgia who played for the Seminoles of Florida State, played baseball,

245
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: was very good there. That's his stock. He's a Seminole.

246
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: By nat you're there, and he knows because he played

247
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: a long time. He knows what's going on. He's got

248
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: the pine tar still under his fingernails. It's hard to

249
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: get that out. He's still got some pine tar under

250
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: on his right hand. He's got a little pine tar

251
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: right there. And he inherited Bob Melvin. That's the other

252
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 2: part of this. He didn't hire Bob Melvin. He inherited

253
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: Bob Melvin. And when you inherit a manager who's milk

254
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: Toast personified, eventually you say, well, I kind of want

255
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: a little jolt cola.

256
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: I want some I want a little caffeine here.

257
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: I want someone who's overcaffeinated, and that's not the guy.

258
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: I want someone who's a little louder and all that stuff,

259
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: or just a better manager. That was supposed to be

260
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: the turbo boost when they got Rafael Devers. It did

261
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: not turn out that the after burners were there for

262
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: the San Francisco Giants. Instead, it's another case of the

263
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: Giants here where they rev up the engine but never

264
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: really pulled onto the highway. Didn't pull onto the freeway there.

265
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: And Posey, he also knows it's entertainment. It's entertainment.

266
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: And Bob Melvin, although a study.

267
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: Handed a experience after that Gabe Kaepler buffoon, you put

268
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Bob Melvin in there. He's a grown up in the room, right,

269
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: He's a grown up in the room and all that stuff,

270
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: and that's wonderful. But watching the Giants play was about

271
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: as interesting as watching drywall. Just sitting there and staring

272
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: at drywall. Not a lot of entertainment, not a lot

273
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: of wow factor when you do that. Now, it is

274
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: interesting to note that Buster Posey's beloved manager is now available.

275
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: The Texas Rangers said bye bye to Bruce Bouchie. He's

276
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: out in Arlington. Only time that Rangers have been any good.

277
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: They won the World Series with Bruce Bochie, and now

278
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: they have said bye bye to Bouchie. So he's out,

279
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: and so that opens the door for Bruce Bochie to

280
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: return to the San Francisco Genas. Now he's not the

281
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: most exciting guy in the world, but he's got the resume.

282
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: He's got the actually resume. You can sell the resume.

283
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: You can get people to buy tickets. They get all

284
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: horny because you look at all those championships Boch he

285
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: won back in the day.

286
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: All right.

287
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, final thought to Pittsburgh, we'll do this quickly, quick, right,

288
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: we'll do it quickly. So the Pittsburgh Pirates a horrific

289
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: baseball team. Now, they actually fired their manager during the season.

290
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: They put somebody named Don Kelly in as the interim manager.

291
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: They then had a losing record with Don Kelly six

292
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: games under five hundred.

293
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: So the Pirates have decided what you'd expect them to do.

294
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: They've kept Don Kelly as their manager because they are losers.

295
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: Not only that, the Pirates have decided that they're incompetent.

296
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: GM Ben Charrington, red Sox trash who landed in Pittsburgh

297
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: that he will remain as the general manager of the

298
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates. So how does all of that impact the future?

299
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: Because the Pirates aren't interesting, but there's one guy in

300
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: the Pirates that is interesting. So how does that impact

301
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: the future of pitching phenom Paul Skens the decision to

302
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: keep the manager and the general manager there in Pittsburgh.

303
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: So you might remember Paul Skins near the end of

304
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 2: the regular season said something to the effect of, if

305
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: we don't learn from this, meaning if changes aren't made,

306
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: that's the way I interpreted it, then it's a wasted

307
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: time for the Pittsburgh Pirates. So this is a once

308
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: in a generation situation the Pirates have on the mound,

309
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: and instead of making the necessary changes to put a

310
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 2: championship caliber team around Paul Skins, giving him a reason

311
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: to stay at least for a few more years. At

312
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: least for a few more years, what are the Pirates do?

313
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: They do what they always do. They cheap out, They stall,

314
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: And now all the tea leaves continuing to indicate every

315
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: single every single key indicator pointing to an exit stage

316
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: left that's going to happen.

317
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: The usual suspect of the Mets, the.

318
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: Dodgers, the Cobs, all of the big market teams. You

319
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: got to think the Red Sox will be on being

320
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: on Paul Skans also here, they're all going to be

321
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: on the prowl to try.

322
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: To get Paul Skins.

323
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: And it's really up to his group of hanger on

324
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: so the people that are writing his coatails whether or

325
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: not he's going to press the issue here, press your

326
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: luck and attempt to get a trade whommy, no hammy,

327
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: big money, big money, a stop, that's the question. And

328
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: so we'll see whether or not he wants to do that.

329
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: The Pirates had an opportunity. They have futched away the opportunity,

330
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: and so the front office is essentially telling their franchise player, Hey,

331
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: you're on your own, big fella, but keep bringing that

332
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: lady friend around. People seem to like her on social media.

333
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: But we're not serious about winning. We just want to

334
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: put a halfway decent team on the field, but not

335
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: a good team. Not a good team here, and so

336
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 2: no changing culture, no changing identity, none of that. No

337
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: change even just for optics. They're not even pretending that's

338
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 2: the beauty of the Pirates. They don't even try like

339
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: some teams would they'd make changes just to make changes, like,

340
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: they don't even do that. They're like, listen, we got

341
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: in a competent GM, we got a manager who's nothing special.

342
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: Let's keep them both. Why not?

343
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: Man, We'll this go with the status quo, went in doubt, punt,

344
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: went in doubt punt. And so they've got that gray

345
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 2: cafeteria food in the elementary school. They've got that just

346
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: cafeteria foods all gray. That's Pirates baseball, kind of like

347
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: the sky in Pittsburgh a lot of the year, just

348
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: kind of gray and overcast and all that stuff. And

349
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: so good luck, and we'll see what happens next, but

350
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: a whole lot of nothing. And once the playoffs and

351
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: we'll hear a lot of rumors, speculation and all that.

352
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: And I can see the slogan for the twenty twenty

353
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 2: six Pirates. If Paul Skeins is not traded, come see

354
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: the comet before the comet goes away. And and that's it.

355
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 2: Comics already likely packing the bags as we speak right now,

356
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: but we'll see what the future holds. It is the

357
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,400

00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: the day, and we'll go to pro Bouncy Ball's media

364

Speaker 2: day around the NBA. So a lot of cliches, a

365
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: lot of nonsense around pro bouncy Ball.

366
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: But here's the riddle of the day.

367
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: Guard Lonzo Ball, remember him, Lonzo Ball was asked about

368
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: his new home with the Cavaliers. He said, I didn't

445
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: the day. A Lonzo Ball basketball player on his new team,

446
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: the Cavaliers, said, I didn't even know Cleveland had blank.

447
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, he didn't know that Cleveland still had brothels brothels?

448
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: Wow? Okay, is that is that great? Brothels?

449
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: Wrong?

450
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: No?

451
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: All right?

452
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: Uh see, Shane says, Kelly says, says she doesn't know,

453
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 2: but he's eating a sandwich.

454
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: Okay, apparently not all right.

455
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: The correct answer is Lonzo Ball on Cleveland says, I

456
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 2: didn't even know Cleveland had water.

457
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know they had water. Seriously, how their answer

458
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: was running water?

459
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 8: But everyone kept on saying plumbing. So I was like, no,

460
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 8: I'm not.

461
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would have gotten it right. Well, you're

462
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: not supposed to get it right. And no, no you don't.

463
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to get it right. That's not right

464
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: to get it right. It's wrong to get it right.

465
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: Don't get it right. Let's go to the funds and

557
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. We appreciate your show. It's been quite

558
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: a day here in the Bay Area with the Bob

559
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: Milvin firing, and yeah, I saw the lot with the

560
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 3: Mets as well with Carlos Mendoza. But first off, Bob

561
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: Melvin Scorpio, like Lorena and Coop.

562
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: She smiled when you said that. Lorena smiled.

563
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 7: I love being a Scorpio.

564
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm quite proud.

565
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: Well, the only thing I don't be proud of that

566
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: you really had no choice in it, right, you were

567
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: born into it.

568
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 7: That's true if you think that everything happens not on purpose.

569
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 7: But you know, world has a way of planning and

570
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 7: working things, and it wanted me to be a Scorpio.

571
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: So you wouldn't be happy if you were like a cancer,

572
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: a tourist, or a virgo.

573
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 8: Areas I'd be way too.

574
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

575
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's interesting you brought up aries. Bob Melvin

576
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 3: is a Scorpio. Let's see October twenty eighth, nineteen sixty

577
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: one Buster Poseys and Aries and Airs and Scorpio clash

578
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: because they're both ruled by Mars. So there was definitely

579
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: a power struggle and in the mix, you know, the transits,

580
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 3: which is what's happening currently. Mars is in Scorpio, which

581
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: rules energy, assertion and aggression, and it started about a

582
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: week and a half ago. Nick post is a scorpio

583
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: when mors in scorpio hit his son in scorpio and

584
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: he got the injury. So suffices to say moris transit

585
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 3: is once every two years. Rules, energy, assertion, aggression, and

586
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 3: power struggles. And that was interesting because Buster Posey actually

587
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: picked up the option on Bob Melvin's contract for twenty

588
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 3: twenty six.

589
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: Yes, that's called the Golden parachute. That is a nice

590
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: parting gift. Very kind of Buster Posey to do. That

591
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: is like, listen, the giants have a lot of money,

592
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: the owners have a lot of money.

593
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: We'll just cut you a giant check to go away.

594
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 3: Oh is that you still get paid if they pick

595
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 3: up your option.

596
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: Yes, it's likely you're not going to get the full amount,

597
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: but he's going to get a nice, big fat check

598
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: to go away.

599
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh yeah, all right.

600
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: May we all have bosses that are nice enough to

601
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: actually give raises out and to actually uh you know,

602
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: take care of you.

603
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: You know.

604
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's good. I learned something new every day. Okay, yeah,

605
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 3: so you know that said I actually liked Bob Melvin.

606
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: I remember him with the a's.

607
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: I like him a lot that's right.

608
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: I remember you were close with you lost some of

609
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: the a's back in the day, Barry Zito, right then,

610
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: and play with the giants too.

611
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: Really open it into astrology. He was an eccentric tourist.

612
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 3: I like you.

613
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's put the ball on this because

614
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: we do have to get to the game. So let's

615
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 2: sum this up in one amazing sentence. Here can we

616
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: sum all of this up right now?

617
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: Well, it's that time of year when everything gets evaluated.

618
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: So go with the flow and uh trust your land

619
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 3: in the right place at the right time.

620
