1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Is this a great game or what? Thank you so

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: much for joining us. And today on the show, Aaron Boone,

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: manager of.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: The New York Yankees, is going to be joining us, right,

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: and you're not going to hear Boony explaining all about

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: Garrett Cole's first start of the year, or how great

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge has been, or how they're going to try

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: to get by without John Carlos stand for the next

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: two months. We're going to talk to Boony about all

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: sorts of other things. Things that I did with him

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: when we were teammates for five years, the impersonations that

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: he could do, the stuff that he knows that nobody

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: else knows. It's a completely different interview with Aaron Boone,

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: because that's what we do on this show.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you so much to Aaron Boone for joining us.

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: You're going to hear that towards the end of the show, right.

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: Jeff, What is different about you? I saw you this

18
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: morning for the first time in a week. What happened

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: to your face?

20
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: So over the weekend, I'm a country music morning show

21
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: host in the Philadelphia area, and over the weekend it

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: was the Barefoot Country Music Festival, And so every year

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: when I go, I shave him. I shave my beard off,

24
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: but leave a mustache. So now this is the mustache

25
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: is still there, but I've got like quite a few

26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: days growth on the beard, so I'm probably looking pretty goofy.

27
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: You look different. So as far as mustaches go, Jeff,

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: the greatest mustache major League history belongs, of course to Fingers.

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: I was going to say he's a Hall of Famer,

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: the famous handlebar mustache. But in the College World Series,

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: this incredible College World Series between Tennessee and Texas A

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: and m Kirby Connell of Tennessee has the second greatest

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: mustache to Raleigh Fingers. I've ever seen. It's amazing, and

34
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: it's a Raleigh Fingers knockoff. It's a handlebar. It's absolutely beautiful.

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: And as far as shaving a beard, goes Jeff, which

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 2: I had to do and you've done before years ago,

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: maybe thirty years ago. Rob Murphy was a pitcher for

38
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: the Red Sox and he's pitched in Seattle one night.

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: Rob Murphy's wicked, smart guy, so he gets lit up

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: as a reliever in the seventh in of a game

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: at the Kingdome, and he goes in and shaves his

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: beard at mustache in between innings. So he comes back

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: out in the eighth inning and he's completely clean shaven

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: because he was so upset how poorly he had pitched.

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: In the seventh inning. He comes out and gets a

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: one two three eighth inning. And I asked him about it,

47
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: and I asked him about it because I wrote it

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: for Sports Illustrated. Then I saw him at an airport

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: like twenty years later and I said, Rob, that was

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: my favorite Rob Murphy not of the year, and he

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: gave me I think it was May fifth, nineteen ninety one,

52
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: the exact date now of the time that he shaved

53
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: his beard and mustache in the seventh inning of a game.

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, players are very superstitious, and we should get into

55
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: that at some point, but it speaking at the College

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: World Series. We're going to get to them during the

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: game Changer of the week because it has been huge

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: and incredible series to watch. But I think the most

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: important thing we need to discuss is Willie Mays. Now,

60
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: if you look back to last week's episode, right, we

61
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: highlighted the Rickwood game and it released at midnight on Tuesday,

62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: and the announcement the Sad News that Willie Mason had

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: passed came out Tuesday afternoon, so we never really had

64
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: a chance on the show to remember him, so to speak,

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: even though we did talk about him last week, which

66
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: was so beautiful that we got to talk about him

67
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: in the Guys of the Rickwood Game.

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: Right, And I explained to everyone on ESPN and Stories

69
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: that I wrote that Willie Mays is the greatest player

70
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. And I've told you before, Jeff, when

71
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: he broke into nineteen fifty one, no one had ever

72
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: seen an athlete quite like him, greatest combination of power,

73
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: speed and defense that ever lived. In seventy three years later,

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: I believe he is still the greatest combination of power,

75
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: speed and defense ever. But what separated Willy for me, Jeff,

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: was just how gracious he was with his time and

77
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: his information for not just players on his team, but

78
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: players on other teams. The way he connected with others

79
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. So one of his best friends was Bill White,

80
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: who was the first baseman for the Cardinals at the time.

81
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: And Bill White, of course, was teammates with Bob Gibson,

82
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame pitcher, and Bob Gibson wore glasses off

83
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: the field, and so they go to Willie Mays's house.

84
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: One night, Willie invites Bill White over for dinner. So

85
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Bill White shows up in the off season at Willie

86
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Mays's door, and he's got Bob Gibson with him. So

87
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: Willy opens the door. He looks at Bill White, goes,

88
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: great to see you, Bill, how are you. He looks

89
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: at Bob Gibson, who he'd faced one hundred times and said,

90
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: who's that? And Bill White said, Willie, it's Bob Gibson.

91
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: And Willie looks at him and goes, you wear glasses.

92
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: You need glasses, and you don't wear them to pitch.

93
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: You're gonna kill somebody without wearing glasses when you pitch.

94
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: That was Willie's reaction to Bob Gibson in Street close

95
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: showing up at his house on a cold December night

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: in the off season. It was so classic Willie Bays.

97
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

98
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: And there was such beautiful tributes to him at the

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: Rickwood game this past Thursday, including the obvious twenty four

100
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: right behind home plate right The whole.

101
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: Rickwood experience was sensational, amazing. Major League Baseball did such

102
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: a good job of dressing up that field, the oldest

103
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: field in this country, baseball field built in you know,

104
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: nineteen ten, and the tributes they gave to the Negro

105
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: League players was just unbelievable. And the tribute to Willie

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: Mays was breathtaking. It was passionate, It was absolutely beautiful,

107
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: and I'll never forget just looking. Unfortunately I didn't get

108
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: to go, but look about that field. Was the giant

109
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: number twenty four, Jeff, I think twenty four is the

110
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: most synonymous baseball number in baseball. You look at twenty

111
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: four if you don't even have to ask what is that? Well,

112
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: that is Willie Mays's number, And of course he's the

113
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: greatest number twenty four of all time. So we did

114
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: this with Lou gagg the greatest number fours of all time,

115
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: because we never go into twenty to four because it's

116
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: always Lou gagg is number one. Willie Mays is obviously

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: number twenty four of all time. But Miguel Cabrera is

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: our first baseman. Okay Robinson Cano's our second baseman. Great start.

119
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: Dick Wrote is the shortstop MVP of the National League

120
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty and a basketball player at Duke By

121
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: the way. Wow, pretty good. Two sport guy Tony Perez,

122
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: Eduardo Perez's dad, who began his career as a third baseman.

123
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: He's our third baseman. He wore number twenty four. Of course,

124
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Barry Bonds wore twenty four as a tribute to Willie

125
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: Mays when he was with the Pirates. Then when he

126
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 2: went to the Giants, he wore his dad's number twenty five,

127
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: but he wore twenty four for a long time. Ricky

128
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: Henderson wore a bunch of numbers, but he wore twenty four.

129
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: And of course Ken Griffy Junior wore twenty four his

130
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: entire career. And you know, Ken Griffy Junior and Willie

131
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: Mays are connected in so many different ways. Manny Ramirez

132
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: is our DH, and there were several DH candidates. Believe me,

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: I couldn't find. Rick Dempsey is our catcher, not a

134
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, but trust me, nobody presented a target

135
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: for a pitcher better than Rick Dempsey. You know, we

136
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: got catchers catching on one knee right now and the

137
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: pitchers can't even see where the target is set up.

138
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: Nobody did that better than Rick Dempsey and early win

139
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame pitcher won three hundred games. He also

140
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: wore number twenty four. So all of those guys wore

141
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: number twenty four, a whole bunch of Hall of famers,

142
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: and a bunch of them wore them as a tribute

143
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: to Willie Mays.

144
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: It's incredible and all best of all tim all number

145
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: twenty four. Now let's get into the takeaways on what's

146
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: happened in Major League baseball right Well.

147
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: There were, Jeff. Every week, there's like thirty of them.

148
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: I always have to narrow it down. So Steven Kwan

149
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: of the Surprising Guardians was hitting three to ninety through

150
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: Sunday three ninety. Jeff, I keep telling you it's harder

151
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: to get a hit today than in any era in

152
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: Major League history, and we've lost the value of the

153
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: hit as we just try to hit the ball out

154
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: of the ballpark. Not only is he hitting three to ninety,

155
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: he just finished the stretch of forty four straight appearance

156
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: played appearances without striking out, which is unheard of. He

157
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: had sixteen strikeouts this season through two hundred at bats.

158
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: John Carlos Stanton, who's a different hitter, I'm not being critical.

159
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: He had sixteen strikeouts in his first thirty five at

160
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: bats this year, Stephen Klon. He puts the ball in play.

161
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: And this is one reason why the Guardians are so

162
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: good and the third best team in the league as

163
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned right now, is they have a

164
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: guy at the top of the order who goes up

165
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: there saying, I'm going to hit this ball hard. I'm

166
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: going to have a hard ground ball single, I'm going

167
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: to put it in play. And I just love it

168
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: when I see somebody who can get a hit and

169
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: who doesn't strikeout all the time. Max Schurzer came back

170
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: for the Rangers, made his first start of the season

171
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: on Sunday and typically five scoreless innings, allowed one hit.

172
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: So now that is the sixth start of his in

173
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: his career in which he's allowed zero or no hits

174
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: and no walks in at least five innings, the sixth

175
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: time he's done that. The only pictures who have done

176
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: that as many times as Pedro Martinez, who I've told

177
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 2: you in a short sample is the greatest picture I've

178
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: ever seen, and Walter Johnson is the greatest picture of

179
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: all time. And hey, I ever tell you what high

180
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: school did you go to?

181
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 3: Walter Jonathan I school.

182
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: I say that every single day of my life, and

183
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: I'm wearing my WJA shirt again today. And Sureser tied

184
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: Greg Mannox for eleventh on the all time strikeout list

185
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday. So it was a really impressive return for

186
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: Max Shrs.

187
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: We might be the only podcast sponsored by a public school, right,

188
00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: we love it?

189
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the Mets won again on Sunday. They are

190
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: thirteen and six in June. They have the best June

191
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: record after going nine to nineteen in May, where they

192
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: were basically the worst team in May, and they've been

193
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 2: the best team in June. Francisco Alvarezer Catcher has come

194
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: back and made an enormous difference. It's really gotten good

195
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: behind the plate, but he can really hit. And suddenly

196
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: the Mets are gonna look like they're gonna be buyers

197
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline instead of unloading all of their players.

198
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 2: I think the Mets have now at least an outside

199
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: chance to make a run at a wild card, and

200
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: I didn't think there was anything close to that. The

201
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: only problem was Edwin Diaz, their closer last night, got

202
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: ejected from the game before he even pitched in the game.

203
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: They checked his glove, they checked his hand, and they

204
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: found an illegal substance, and they threw him out of

205
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: the game before even pitched. Now, I will tell you

206
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, I had somebody tell me

207
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: who would know that the one guy that's most affected

208
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: by not being allowed to use the sticky stuff is

209
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: going to be Edwin Diaz. Really, so last year he

210
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: didn't pitch because of an injury. So this is the

211
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: first year that a he's pitching with a pitch clock,

212
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: and b he's not allowed to use a sticky substance,

213
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: and he hasn't pitched very well. So I think there's

214
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: a connection there. Braves in the Mets division, the Braves

215
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: pitching has been really good. Jeff, You know, it's so

216
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: interesting that Braves have this historically good offensive team and

217
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: they haven't been very good, but they're pitching has carried them.

218
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: Rinaldo Lopez is their new ace right now, even though

219
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: Chris Sale is there and Charlie Morton and Max Reed

220
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: that got great starting pitching. But Lopez's era for his

221
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: career and he's had a pretty long career. As over

222
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: four it's four point oh five and this year it's

223
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: one point five to seven. Jeff, this is what is

224
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: so beautiful about baseball is the light goes on for

225
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: these guys and sometimes they don't even know why it

226
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: went on, and then the light goes off and they

227
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: don't know why it went out. While the light is

228
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: on for Raynaldo Lopez, he has been really, really good.

229
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: And of course Pablo Lopez pitches for the Twins, and

230
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: Pablo Lopez had a great year last year, but he's

231
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 2: struggled this year as ERA is over five. But on

232
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: Sunday he allowed no runs and had fourteen strikeouts. He's

233
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: one of only three players in the history of the

234
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: Twins and Senators. Of course, the Twins came from the

235
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: Washington Senators to have multiple games with no runs allowed

236
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: and fourteen strikeouts. Johan Santana borderline Hall of Famer, and

237
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: Walter Johnson did it all now there mention? Did I

238
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: ever tell you that I went to Walter Johnson High School?

239
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: Did I ever tell you that I worked for the

240
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: pitch got made sure that you were a baseball writer? Right?

241
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: And last thing is I got a text from a

242
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: guy in baseball the other day, a guy who would

243
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: know a guy who's a really clear thinking guy. And

244
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: he said to me, the best pitcher in baseball pitches

245
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: for the Pirates, And he was talking about Paul ski Really,

246
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 2: who's made eight major league starts. He's got a two

247
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: point one four ERA, throws one hundred on almost every

248
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: fastball he throws. And it's a little early for this, Jeff,

249
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: but I think Paul Skans should start the All Star

250
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: Game for the National League. Wow, now, Rangers Suarez, your

251
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: boy has had a better year than Paul Skean's. But

252
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: when you're trying to promote the game, this is the

253
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: way to do it. You take the picture that the

254
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: one pitcher that everyone wants to see, and you start

255
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: him in the All Star Game, and you tell people

256
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: this is the future of our game. And speaking of

257
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: twenty two year olds, we just finished the College World

258
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: Series Texas A and M and Tennessee and it was

259
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: tremendous to watch. Sunday. I watched the game two with

260
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: Ben McDonald, who's, you know, of course, a former great

261
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 2: college pitcher, a really good major league pitcher, and sitting

262
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: next to him watching a college baseball game as well

263
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: as all the big league games was really important for

264
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: me to understand where we are in college baseball. Yesterday

265
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: Chris Cortez Sunday for Texas A and M threw well

266
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: over twenty pitches at one hundred miles an hour. And

267
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: he's a college player. Jeff Kent, Jeff Kent say, I

268
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: voted for him for the Hall of Fame every year.

269
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: His son, Cayden Kent played for Texas A and M,

270
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: and he can really hit. There were so many good

271
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: hitters all over that field. I mean the power that

272
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: Tennessee had, just the skill and everything the Texas A

273
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: and M had. It's just another reminder how good college

274
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: baseball is these days, and that pipeline to the big

275
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: leagues is getting more streamlined. The Paul Schemes of the

276
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: world get there sooner rather than later, and they should

277
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: because college baseball is preparing them in a very good way.

278
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: That's our game changer of the week was that great

279
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: series for the College World Series. But let's hop into

280
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: our quarkchins, because I know our listeners love your quark

281
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: all right, So, Jeff, who's in the corkchins every week?

282
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: Let's see how well you listen to me every week?

283
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: Who has been in a quirk gin Ellie Delacruz. Yes,

284
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: So Ellie, way to go, Jeff. That just means you're

285
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: listening to me for the first time in your life. Okay,

286
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: So I told you last week. Look, Ellie de la

287
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: Cruz plays for me any day. He's the most exciting

288
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: player in the game. He's remarkable. We've never seen anybody

289
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: quite like him. But I told you last week he

290
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: was going to be the first one to get to

291
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: one hundred strikeouts, which of course he was. So he's

292
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: already struck out one hundred times and we're on June

293
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth year. It's just unbelievable. But he also

294
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: leads the league in errors. So he leads the league

295
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: in strikeouts and in errors, and only three players in

296
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: Major League history have ever led the league at the

297
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: end of the year in errors and strikeouts, Mark Reynolds

298
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight. Mark Reynolds once told me

299
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: I hold a lot of weird records in baseball, and

300
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: he's right about that. Roy S. Molly Senior did it

301
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty and a guy named Jim Leavy never

302
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: heard of him in nineteen thirty one. So that's what

303
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: Ellie de la Cruz. He's going to have black marks

304
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: all the way through his you know, his Baseball reference page,

305
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: because he's going to lead the league and all sorts

306
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: of good and bad categories. That's who Ellie. You can't

307
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: take your eyes off because he might do something that

308
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: you've never seen before.

309
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: He is so incredible. He makes Dad and I look

310
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: like little lego guys. You know, with how long his

311
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: legs are.

312
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: He's six to five, Jeff.

313
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: If you've seen him stride across the field, Jeff, he

314
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: takes two steps. He could dunk the ball from the

315
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: three point line, you know what I mean. He says,

316
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: the longest stride ever.

317
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: And he's the fast guy in the league, and he

318
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: hits the ball almost as far as anyone in the league.

319
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: That combination is crazy. So, speaking of crazy, the Dodgers

320
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: were down by five runs in the ninth inning to

321
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: the Rockies the other day and came back to win.

322
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: They were down like eight to three and they won

323
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: eleven to eight, and in the ninth inning they hit

324
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: a grand slam and a three run homer. Down by

325
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: five runs. So it's the only time we checked since

326
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty one that any team went to the ninth

327
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: inning of a game down by five runs, had a

328
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: grand Slam and a three run homer in the ninth

329
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: inning to come back and win the game, when each

330
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: home run was necessary to win the game. In other words,

331
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: it wasn't two to one and then a guy hit

332
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: a grand slam to make it, you know, five to two,

333
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: and then they made it eight to two. They needed

334
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: both the grand slam and the three run homer to

335
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 2: win the game. First time since nineteen sixty one that

336
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: that has ever happened. And this is why every time

337
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: you look at the box score you go, wow, I'm

338
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: not sure I've seen this, and in this case, nobody

339
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 2: has seen it. Certainly back to at least nineteen sixty one,

340
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: the Padres hit a walkoff homer in three games in

341
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: a row. Okay, so I'm thinking I should know the

342
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: answer to this. But once the last time that happened, well,

343
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: believe it or not, it's happened a bunch of times,

344
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: and the last team to do it was the Dodgers

345
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. It was only five years ago that

346
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: a team, wow, won three consecutive games with a walkoff homer.

347
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: So a few years many years ago, the Red Sox

348
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 2: won back back games with a walkoff homer. So I

349
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: called the Eliza Sportsbriew this is one of my favorite

350
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: notes ever, And I said, when's the last time the

351
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: Red Sox won back to back games with a walkoff homer?

352
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: So here's the answer. In nineteen thirty five, Wes Farrell,

353
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: a pitcher, hit walkoff homers in back to back games. Now, yes,

354
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: Wes Farrell started the first game, pitched nine innings, and

355
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: led off and hit a home run in the bottom

356
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: of the ninth inning to win a game that he started.

357
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: And then the next night he came up as a

358
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: pinch hitter and hit another walkoff homer. So the last

359
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: time the Red Sox had done it had been like

360
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: sixty years since the Red Sox had done it in

361
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: back to back games, and it was done by a pitcher. Again,

362
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: only in baseball? Can this crazy?

363
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: All? Right? Now?

364
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: Jeff, what's the name of my third book? What's it called?

365
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by sacrifice? And sometimes do I take that

366
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: a little too far? Do I take it way too serious?

367
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: Am Am? I too fascinated by it? You're allowed to

368
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: say that?

369
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: Well, I mean when your voice starts to crack when

370
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: you get that excited.

371
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're a little overboard. Well this will

372
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 2: qualify as going way overboard. The last two things are

373
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: stretches of all time. Okay, this is a bigger stretch

374
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: than Willie McCovey. So Brenton Doyle of the Rockies the

375
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: other day had two sacrifice flies and two grounded in

376
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 2: double plays in the same game. All right, Now, none

377
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: of that is important. But I when I look in

378
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: the box score and I see two gidps and two

379
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: sacrifice lives, and the second one was a sacrifice fly

380
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: to win the game. It was a walk off sacrifice fly.

381
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: I called the Elias and said, how many times has

382
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: this happened? Two gidps and two sackflies in the same game,

383
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: Aaron Hickson twenty seventeen Hall of Famer, Ted Simmons in

384
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty three. That's it. That's it. And now Brenton Doyle,

385
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: so again, when pointless in is necessary, just come to me.

386
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: Now, I'm worried after that final Quirtchin, what kind of

387
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: things you're going to have for on this state in baseball?

388
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: All right, well, these are more serious. But Bobby Bonds

389
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: on this date in nineteen sixty eight, became the first

390
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 2: player since nineteen hundred to hit a grand Slam in

391
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: his first major league game. Bobby Bonds, of course, is

392
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: Barry Bonds's father, and I worshiped the Giants in nineteen

393
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: sixty eight from three thousand miles away. It was unhealthy, Jeff,

394
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: But Bobby Bonds was going to be the next Willie Mays,

395
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: which he didn't live up to because Noah could live up.

396
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: Bobby Bonds was a great player, but he had a

397
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 2: grand Slam in his first major league game. This is

398
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: the less important Jet. But in nineteen seventy one, on

399
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: this date, actor Kurt Russell. Kurt Russell played for Bend

400
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: in the Northwest League. So when you watch him, you know,

401
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 2: play a football player in the movies, you watch him

402
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: move around in movies, it's because he was a professional

403
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 2: baseball player. He played two years in the minor leagues,

404
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: got hurt and that was the end of it. But

405
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: on this date in seventy one, he had a single,

406
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: a double, and two stolen bases for Ben Kurt Russell. Yeah,

407
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: and I maintain, Jeff, and I need your input on

408
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: this the greatest speech of all time in any movie,

409
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: at least inspirational speech is Kurt Russell in the movie Miracle.

410
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 2: Oh it's by far the best coach speech in any

411
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: movie ever. Right, it's main with the music. I literally

412
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: I never played hockey in my life and the eighty

413
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: you know Olympic team was unbelievable. But I tear up

414
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: every time he said you were born to be hockey players,

415
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: every one of you, and you were meant to be here. Tonight.

416
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: I love the way Kurt Russell says tonight. He says

417
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: it tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.

418
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: And Jeff the last on this date is in nineteen

419
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: seventy two, Carlos Delgado was born. Carlos Delgado hit four

420
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy three major league home runs. Started with

421
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 2: the with the Blue Jays as a catcher, then they

422
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 2: moved him into first base, and then he went to

423
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: the to the Mets. He's a borderline Hall of Famer.

424
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: But knowing how pathetic your poor dad is, how how

425
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: what a weird mind he has when it comes to baseball,

426
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: Carlos del Gatto four hundred and seventy three homers, what

427
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: significance does that have? And you have to remember with

428
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: the curious mind, the stupid mind that I have about baseball.

429
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: You need to take a guess. I'll give you a clue.

430
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: Most del Gatto.

431
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: Oh, I was going to say most home runs for

432
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: the initial.

433
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 2: CD, but I was thinking CD Rom. Well, you got it,

434
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: the most home runs for anyone whose last name begins

435
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: with D.

436
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 4: Oh.

437
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 2: Really, I was close.

438
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: You did it, all right.

439
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: I'm very proud of you, Jeff. And of course I

440
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: know moment I know A through Z, which is pathetic

441
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: in itself, but that's that's Carlos Delgado's claim to fame,

442
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: besides me having a for homer game and being a

443
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: borderline Hall of Famer. It more home runs than anyone

444
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: whose last name starts with a D. And I challenge

445
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: anyone out there to just sit down one day when

446
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: you have nothing else to do with your life and

447
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: try to name the all time home run hitters for

448
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 2: each letter of the alphabet A of course, Hank, Aaron,

449
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: B Berrybond, so on and so forth. Carlos Delgado, you

450
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 2: did it, Jeff. You're starting to be like me and

451
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: don't do that.

452
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm starting to be like you because I

453
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: have a surprise for you. You brought up Kurt Russell, and

454
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: I've been holding onto this for weeks now. If you remember,

455
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to

456
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: interview Kevin Costner in person to talk about his new

457
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: movie Horizon.

458
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 2: Right, it's a new movie.

459
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: It's coming out actually this weekend, and Field of Dreams

460
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: is our all time favorite movie. I told him to

461
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: his face it's our all time favorite movie, and he

462
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: basically said, that's amazing.

463
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: Did you take your dad to go see this? He said, okay,

464
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: I will.

465
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: So the point is I had come up with my

466
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: own version of a lineup.

467
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 2: You did a team Tim, I did. I did a

468
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: best of all Tim.

469
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: But in this case it has no basis in statistical

470
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: fact at all. This is my best of all Tim

471
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: fictional baseball players that I've come up with A.

472
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 2: List here, a whole lineup. Are you ready, Jeff, you

473
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 2: have a child at home. She's not even one yet.

474
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: I have time to do this stuff. When all right,

475
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: I want to hear it.

476
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: You carry the majority of the research for this show.

477
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: This is the least I carry all of the research

478
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: for the show, not the majority. Sorry, no, you're good.

479
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: The catcher. Oh wait, wait, I'm gonna guess this. It's

480
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: gotta be Crash Davis's got to be Kevin cost what

481
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: so impressive? He swung the bat from both sides of

482
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: the plate, and he looks like a ballplayer and being

483
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: and because he played baseball in college, but being the

484
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 2: baseball snob that I am, I'm only a snob in

485
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: one way. If you're gonna make a guy be the

486
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: star of a baseball movie, he's got to be able

487
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: to swing a bat and throw a baseball. Otherwise I'm out.

488
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: Bull Durham Field of Dreams, Chasing dreams for the love

489
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: of the game. He's been in so many great movies.

490
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: Now let me go over my rules real fast. Can't

491
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: repeat a movie, right, can't repeat an actor. Those are

492
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: the rules, so you won't see Kevin Costner again.

493
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: In this Those are my reactors or movies.

494
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: And my final rule was this cannot be about an

495
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: actual player, right, like we can't pick Jackie Robinson from

496
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: forty two because it's about an actual player.

497
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

498
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: Next up, in not the greatest baseball movie of all time,

499
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: but a three forty lifetime hitter Stan Ross played by

500
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: Bernie Mack and mister three thousand.

501
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 2: All right, Look, our show is a fun, loving show

502
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: without hot takes and without any anger. So I am

503
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 2: going to pass on this because mister three thousand is

504
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: the worst baseball movie I've ever seen.

505
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: Second base is Marla Hoots from a League of their Own. Yes,

506
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: she could go, she could play, she can move, she's

507
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: got a great swing, but they didn't want to take

508
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: her on the team because she looked too much like.

509
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: A guy in the movie. All right, all right, but

510
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: she was in a heck of an athlete, right.

511
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: Third base is Ray Mitchell from Angels in the Outfield

512
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: played by Stony Jackson. The shortstop is Tanner Boyle. Oh yeah, yeah,

513
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: bad news bad, the little blonde.

514
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: Haired kid who cussed every five five seconds. Yeah, that was.

515
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: Left field Scott Smalls from arguably one of the best

516
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: baseball movies of all time, They're Killing. Centerfield is Bobby Rayburn,

517
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: played by Wesley Snipes in The Fan. He played alongside

518
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro.

519
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: Right, and John Cruck was in that movie, and John

520
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 2: Cruck told me that he ends up getting killed by

521
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: Robert de Niro in the movie. He gets stabbed in

522
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: the neck by Robert de Niro in that movie. So

523
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: I said, Crooky, what was it like working with DeNiro?

524
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: He said, it was unbelievable. He's the happiest guy in

525
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: the world. He's talking to everyone, and then as soon

526
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: as he gets into character, and it took like two seconds,

527
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: he said, I looked in his eyes and it was

528
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 2: like Cape Fear all over again. And then he stabbed

529
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: me in the neck and killed me. So John Kruck,

530
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: our pal, was in the fan that he was killed

531
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: by Robert de Niro. It's incredible.

532
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: Right field, rounding out my lineup would be Roy Hobbes

533
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: of The Natural Right, of course, and I mean it's

534
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: Robert Redford incredible in that movie.

535
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: Greatest hitter I ever saw.

536
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: We move designated hitter would be Jack Elliott played by

537
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: Tom Selleck and mister Baseball.

538
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: He could hit a baseball.

539
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: I've got four pitchers here, Henry Rodingngartner from Rookie of

540
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: the Year, Right wild Thing from Major League, Charlie Sheen

541
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: of course, of.

542
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 2: Course, Ricky Vaughd and our dear friend Rick Vaughan, former

543
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 2: PR director of A Bunch of Teams, really good college pitcher.

544
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: That movie came out while we were all traveling together

545
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: with the Orioles, and the star pitcher was Ricky Vaughan,

546
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: and our PR guy was rick Vaughan, who threw just

547
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: as hard, and Charlie Sheen had thrown a baseball before

548
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 2: it was very impress of how hard he threw.

549
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: And then Steve Nebraska from the Scout played by Brendan Fraser,

550
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: pitched a perfect game in the World Series for the Yankees.

551
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: Rigoberto Sanchez trouble with the curve, and our manager, of

00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: course is Billy Haywood from Little Big League's played by

Speaker 1: there are a great game or what dot com you

558
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: can chime in there. Now onto our Kirkchhing quandary. This

559
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: is where we debate something like last week we did

560
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: the US Open eighteen handicap on a Sunday Sunday pins

561
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: two hundred, yeah, and I would agree wholeheartedly. I'm hitting

562
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: two hundred as the US Open, no doubt about it.

563
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: So for this week, Dad, Game seven of the Stanley

564
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: Cup Final just happened, and you and I we're not

565
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: hockey guys, so I thought it was only fitting for

566
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: our kirkshing quandary. Dad, I want you to take these headphones. Okay,

567
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: throw these on. We're gonna have a guest join the

568
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: show right now. This is my best friend. We're gonna

569
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: call him. So, this is my buddy, Alex Parker. Okay,

570
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: he is a high school social studies teacher.

571
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: We're facetiming him right now as we speak. He's a high.

572
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: School social studies teacher. But most importantly, he is a

573
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: former college hockey player. He actually played hockey overseas and

574
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: here he is.

575
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: What's up, dude, morning? Are we we need a hockey

576
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: expert to answer this question? So Jeff ask Parker the question. So,

577
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: first question for you.

578
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: A a above average Beer League player, A forward right

579
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: has ten penalty shots on an NHL goalie. We're talking

580
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: the best in the business here. How many of them

581
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: is he actually making?

582
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 5: You're ready for this to answer, Jeff?

583
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: Yes? Please?

584
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: Zero gooseg gooseggs zero Parker?

585
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: And what makes him so great as a goalie? And

586
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: why couldn't a Beer League guy score even one out

587
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: of ten on him?

588
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 5: His size, athleticism, his hand eye reaction is that of

589
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 5: a major leaguer, I would also argue, and when you

590
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 5: combine all of that against the guy that just can't

591
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 5: skate or shoot at that same rigger, it's just not

592
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 5: going in zero for ten.

593
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: So, Parker, you were a good college hockey goalie and

594
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: you're like six', ten what are? You six?' five you

595
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: covered the. Entire goal so here's the second part of, This,

596
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: question parker new don't. Be humble tell. The truth we're

597
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: putting you in the goal today against the ten best

598
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: shooters IN, the nhl and they're taking ten penalty shots.

599
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: Against you how many are you going? To stop as

600
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: a good college hockey goalie.

601
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 5: In a, GAME situation i stop one and then maybe

602
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,400

792
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: just a wildly. Competitive guy and the story that we

793
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 2: should have asked him here was his first major. League

794
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 2: game he got ejected from his first major. League GAME

795

Speaker 2: if i remember, it correctly he was a pinch rudder

796
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,000

797
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: outfield got thrown out at. The plate he was so

798
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: upset because it's his major. League debut he took his

799
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: helmet and threw it to, the ground which is an

800
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,520
