Speaker 1: Baseball Classic, the twenty twenty six Vintage, live up to expectations.
0:46
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that and Mark de Rosa, the skipper for
0:51
Speaker 1: the losing Team USA squad, believes every player would volunteer
0:55
Speaker 1: for the World Baseball Classic if it moved to the
0:58
Speaker 1: All Star break and there would be fewer restrictions on players.

3:27
Speaker 1: Ball Now the March Maddness Festivit is this our Wednesday show.
3:32
Speaker 1: I know it's still late Tuesday night in the West,
3:33
Speaker 1: but it's our Wednesday show doing the overnight and so
3:38
Speaker 1: tomorrow because it's our Wednesday show, that's when the fun begins,
3:41
Speaker 1: right to real. I know there was a playing thing
3:43
Speaker 1: whatever that is in Dayton in college basketball, but there
3:47
Speaker 1: were about seven people watching that and then you know
3:50
Speaker 1: that's where the March madness is. But this this thing
3:54
Speaker 1: in Miami, it's so odd to see a baseball game
3:57
Speaker 1: in Miami with fans. It's wild. It's like, well, this
4:00
Speaker 1: is Twilight. So there's actually people that liked baseball in
4:03
Speaker 1: Miami and they went to watch a game. Whoa. Anyway,
4:08
Speaker 1: that was the stage for the championship game of the
4:12
Speaker 1: made for television World Baseball Classic. You had Venezuela on
4:17
Speaker 1: one side versus the USA on the other, medals and
4:21
Speaker 1: a trophy, medals and a trophy or as Rob Manford
4:26
Speaker 1: would say, just a piece of metal. Anyway, stadium was packed,
4:32
Speaker 1: the energy seemed pretty good. Stadium that's normally a ghost town.
4:35
Speaker 1: Marlin's man was there, and he doesn't usually go to
4:38
Speaker 1: Marlins games, because why would you. He was checking it out.
4:41
Speaker 1: You had a Eduardo Rodriguez for the team representing Venezuela
4:46
Speaker 1: versus Nolan MacLean of the Mets for Red, White and Blue,
4:51
Speaker 1: wrapping himself in the flag, big opportunity. Did you watch
4:54
Speaker 1: any of this? He was on Fox. It wasn't ONNFS
4:56
Speaker 1: one or FS two or FS thirty three. It was
5:00
Speaker 1: on Big Fox. Did you check it out? No? Maybe not? Well,
5:05
Speaker 1: the game was most of the game was too nothing
5:08
Speaker 1: in favor of Venezuela, and then then the USA tied
5:11
Speaker 1: it up, but in the end heartbreak hotel As Venezuela
5:16
Speaker 1: wins the World Baseball Classic for the first time after
5:21
Speaker 1: choking away a lead in the eighth inning, blowing a
5:24
Speaker 1: lead that too nothing lead, and then they end up
5:27
Speaker 1: beating the team from the US three to two on
5:31
Speaker 1: a Uhaneo Suarez tie breaking home run or not homer.
5:36
Speaker 1: I was a double tie breaking double in the in
5:39
Speaker 1: the ninth inning. There and Bryce Harper, who has not
5:42
Speaker 1: been very good, he did have a big moment temporarily
5:46
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning. Harper hit a two run dong
5:50
Speaker 1: for the team representing America there in the eighth before
5:53
Speaker 1: Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock came in there and
5:56
Speaker 1: coughed up a fur ball and turned out the lie
6:00
Speaker 1: as the parties over. Now, Team Venezuela third baseman Michale
6:04
Speaker 1: Garcia wins the WBC MVP Award. I don't know what
6:11
Speaker 1: that looks like, but he won it, so congratulations there.
6:14
Speaker 1: The better story is in the losing locker room, and
6:18
Speaker 1: there are some people questioning the relief strategy for Team
6:23
Speaker 1: USA and the decision and who was available, who wasn't available.
6:26
Speaker 1: The person who's getting absolutely charbroiled more than anyone is
6:33
Speaker 1: El Capitan Aaron Judge. All rise except in big games,
6:40
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. There he was getting a lot of the play,
6:45
Speaker 1: all right. So let's good jumping off point. Let us discuss,
6:49
Speaker 1: and I need you if you want to have baseball people,
6:51
Speaker 1: I need you. This hour is a big hour, the
6:53
Speaker 1: baseball hour. So the question is it true that Team
6:58
Speaker 1: USA Slugger star Aaron Judge choked yet again, yet again
7:06
Speaker 1: on the big stage. So I've got playing scrabble, Russell
7:12
Speaker 1: Crowe and Banana Hammock, and we will combine all of
7:15
Speaker 1: these things together and we're gonna get saucy is what
7:18
Speaker 1: we're gonna get, all right. So a to answer the question,
7:22
Speaker 1: is it true? Oh thousand percent true. That is the
7:26
Speaker 1: textbook definition of El slumpo for Aaron Judge. It is
7:33
Speaker 1: an open and shut case. It is very straightforward. There
7:36
Speaker 1: is no gray area. And as much as the people
7:41
Speaker 1: that are on the payroll for Mitche League Baseball would
7:45
Speaker 1: like to defend Aaron Judge, I'm not on the dime
7:48
Speaker 1: for baseball they're not paying me. I would they would.
7:50
Speaker 1: I'd suck up to Aaron Judge like all these other
7:52
Speaker 1: hacks are. I could lie to you and say how
7:55
Speaker 1: great Aaron Judge is in big games. That would be
7:57
Speaker 1: a lie. I'd get paid for it. They get paid
7:59
Speaker 1: for it. I'm not getting paid for it. So I'm
8:01
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what really happened. And what really happened
8:03
Speaker 1: is Aaron Judge, who is the size if you go
8:06
Speaker 1: to the zoo, He's the size of an elephant. It
8:10
Speaker 1: looks like a glitch. We always goof on Kyler Murray
8:13
Speaker 1: alligator arms Murray because it looks like a glitch, like
8:15
Speaker 1: who let the little kid in there? There's a toddler
8:17
Speaker 1: playing quarterback in the NFL. Well, Aaron Judge is like
8:20
Speaker 1: an elephant playing baseball. And yet when it's a big
8:25
Speaker 1: mall met he's like a pigmy mouse. It's a little
8:29
Speaker 1: tiny mouse, a little tiny mouse. When the lights get
8:32
Speaker 1: bright and don't give me the month March, he's still
8:35
Speaker 1: trying to find his swing. Everyone is in the same boat.
8:38
Speaker 1: There's no one who wasn't in the same situation there.
8:42
Speaker 1: This is not some spring training karaoke night. It's not
8:47
Speaker 1: that right. This is supposed to be And I don't
8:50
Speaker 1: want to get this wrong because what we were talking
8:51
Speaker 1: about saying the previous episode bigger than the World series,
8:54
Speaker 1: those aren't my words. I didn't say that. I don't
8:56
Speaker 1: think this is bigger than the World Series. You know
8:58
Speaker 1: who does Aaron Judge? He said it, he said it,
9:02
Speaker 1: he said it, and he sucked, He sucked, and he sucked. Okay,
9:08
Speaker 1: and so he goes out, there had four at bats,
9:12
Speaker 1: all for four, and I am relatively confident that for
9:15
Speaker 1: three of those at bats, you and I would have
9:18
Speaker 1: done the same thing. Strikeout, strikeout, strikeout. Yeah, who goofed?
9:23
Speaker 1: I've got to know, against a patchwork Venezuela pitching staff,
9:29
Speaker 1: team USA suffering and Aaron Judge at the very top.
9:33
Speaker 1: My diagnosis, doctor Mallers diagnosis, Tight took his syndrome for
9:37
Speaker 1: much of that game. Tight took his syndrome. Well, I
9:40
Speaker 1: am not a doctor, but I do play one on
9:43
Speaker 1: the radio. And so er for four again, three punch
9:46
Speaker 1: outs for Judge, and that is not a slump. That
9:49
Speaker 1: is a Houdini vanishing act. And he said, well, it's
9:53
Speaker 1: a team effort. Yeah, but when you're the biggest star.
9:56
Speaker 1: You gotta get it done. You gotta get it done.
9:59
Speaker 1: He's already had I had some experience in the past
10:01
Speaker 1: and big games. It has not gone well. And he's
10:04
Speaker 1: at the point in his career he's only got a
10:06
Speaker 1: couple more years left of domination. Then there's the slow
10:08
Speaker 1: decline unless he can get some good pharmaceuticals and keep
10:12
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. But you look at it
10:15
Speaker 1: and it's like now you see me, now you don't.
10:17
Speaker 1: Now you see me, now you don't. And it's the
10:20
Speaker 1: same movie. It's the same movie every time, different theater.
10:25
Speaker 1: Obviously a theater is much different here than the same inning.
10:28
Speaker 1: So playing scrabble, the phrase for this is common denominator.
10:34
Speaker 1: The common denominator is Aaron Judge. And we love when
10:40
Speaker 1: things line up as human beings. One of the weird
10:42
Speaker 1: things about us. There's a lot of weird things about
10:43
Speaker 1: all of us. We're all related in one way or another.
10:46
Speaker 1: But one of the weird things about this is the
10:48
Speaker 1: way that we love the symmetry. When Aaron Judge was
10:53
Speaker 1: playing in the World Series in twenty twenty four, he
10:55
Speaker 1: played my favorite defensive inning in the World Series game.
10:58
Speaker 1: It was a fifth inning of game five the World Series.
11:00
Speaker 1: My favorite inning I've ever watched baseball was the fifth inning.
11:04
Speaker 1: It was top of the fifth just amazing, just absolutely
11:07
Speaker 1: chef's kiss. And Aaron Judge was part of that butchered
11:10
Speaker 1: a ball in the outfield terrible. In that World Series,
11:13
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge batted two twenty two, said well, bettering everage
11:16
Speaker 1: doesn't matter Boomer. Okay, well fine, you can think that way.
11:19
Speaker 1: Twenty two batting average in the World Series in twenty
11:21
Speaker 1: twenty four, so we obviously did better in the World
11:24
Speaker 1: Baseball Classic, unless he did exactly the same. He batted
11:28
Speaker 1: two twenty two in the World Baseball Classic, and again
11:31
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge said, this is bigger. This is bigger than
11:34
Speaker 1: the World Series and its common denominator, theater is what
11:38
Speaker 1: it is. And Aaron Judge, you can like him and
11:41
Speaker 1: have a fat head on your wall and have all
11:44
Speaker 1: kinds of Aaron Judge merch. The reality is, though, that
11:47
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge commandeered the vomit comment and he didn't even
11:51
Speaker 1: bring a parachute. There was no parachute for Aaron Judge.
11:55
Speaker 1: There was none. And he needs some scrubbing bubbles because
11:58
Speaker 1: he really has to clean some stuff up. Here. This
12:00
Speaker 1: guy's got he's got that big game cootie thing going on.
12:04
Speaker 1: There's some stank and it won't wash off. It will
12:07
Speaker 1: not wash off. Now. Fortunately he's playing for the Yankees,
12:09
Speaker 1: and their ownership doesn't seem to care about winning anymore.
12:13
Speaker 1: It's old family money. George Steinbrenner is dead, he's not
12:16
Speaker 1: coming back. The kids just don't care as much. They don't.
12:18
Speaker 1: That's the reality. So it's okay. I mean, imagine, if
12:22
Speaker 1: I'm dating myself this, a guy named George Steinbrenner used
12:24
Speaker 1: to own the Yankees, and he was a complete lunatic,
12:28
Speaker 1: complete nut job, right, And he's the guy nicknamed Dave
12:32
Speaker 1: Winfield mister May because it's Dave Winfield's big star back
12:35
Speaker 1: in a million years ago, and played really well in
12:38
Speaker 1: May and down the stretch would always fall apart, at
12:41
Speaker 1: least in the eyes of Steinbrenner. And the kids just
12:44
Speaker 1: don't have that. They don't have that thing. The apple
12:47
Speaker 1: occasionally does fall far from the tree and it rolls
12:50
Speaker 1: down a hill and into a creek, and that's what's
12:53
Speaker 1: happening for the Yankees. So that's a good thing, because
12:55
Speaker 1: if this was the old Yankees, they'd trade Aaron Judge
12:58
Speaker 1: and say, my god, this guy can't perform the big games.
13:00
Speaker 1: We're all about big games. These can't get it done.
13:02
Speaker 1: We've got to get rid of this guy. If it
13:05
Speaker 1: looks like a choking dog and it bats like a
13:09
Speaker 1: choking dog, it's a choking dog. Arf that's Aaron Judge,
13:14
Speaker 1: So stop defending it. I know you're all on the take.
13:17
Speaker 1: I got you all your baseball scribes that have jobs
13:20
Speaker 1: around Major League Baseball, the broadcasters that are approved by
13:22
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, I get it. I understand that hopefully
13:27
Speaker 1: some of you will have enough common sense to realize
13:29
Speaker 1: you're being fed propaganda. You're being fed propaganda. And Judge,
13:34
Speaker 1: would I want them on my team in May or
13:36
Speaker 1: June or July. Absolutely, of course I would. Unfortunately, when
13:41
Speaker 1: there's a big game, he turns into a cardboard cutout
13:45
Speaker 1: and it's raining and it's not covered any kind of
13:48
Speaker 1: protective stuff there. So anyway, all right, now turning the page,
13:51
Speaker 1: but not far Now that the twenty twenty six World
13:54
Speaker 1: Baseball Classic has been stuffed into a time capsule, all right,
14:01
Speaker 1: let's slap a malor approved review label on this bad boy,
14:07
Speaker 1: bad boy, bad boy? What you gonna do all right,
14:09
Speaker 1: So the question, did the latest edition, the latest installment
14:14
Speaker 1: of the World Baseball Classic live up to your expectations?
14:18
Speaker 1: Did it live up to expectations? So the way I'm
14:21
Speaker 1: going to tackle this one, I'm gonna surprise you. Not
14:25
Speaker 1: only did it live up to expectations, it pull vaulted
14:29
Speaker 1: over them like an Olympic gymnast that has been drinking
14:34
Speaker 1: can after can of red Bull. If you know what
14:38
Speaker 1: I'm saying. All right, so let's be honest. Here the
14:41
Speaker 1: secret sauce. What was the secret sauce? Well, the secret sauce.
14:45
Speaker 1: The reason I am Benny Bright's out on this is
14:48
Speaker 1: the blessing of low expectations. I've been asked do these
14:53
Speaker 1: radio hits on different shows and whatnot. And I got
14:56
Speaker 1: asked a few times doing these things. I say what
14:58
Speaker 1: are you Are you excited for the World Baseball Class?
15:00
Speaker 1: And I was like, not really, Like I'll watch it
15:02
Speaker 1: for the talk show. I got to come up with
15:03
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about it. I'm not that excited about it.
15:06
Speaker 1: My expectations were rock bottom. And the lower the bar,
15:10
Speaker 1: the lower the bar, the easier is to zoom past it.
15:15
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened here, and so this thing
15:18
Speaker 1: had some juice. There appeared to be passion. There was
15:23
Speaker 1: a lot of dancing, shaking your tushy. There was some drama,
15:27
Speaker 1: little Shakespearean type situation here, which we like. And you
15:31
Speaker 1: had heroes rising up like sour dough bread and others
15:34
Speaker 1: crumblings like a day old cookie. So you had a
15:37
Speaker 1: little bit of that. It's always fun. You see pressure, pressure, pressure,
15:40
Speaker 1: But it's one of the great things. The reason we
15:42
Speaker 1: watched these games, right, the reason we love sports, and
15:44
Speaker 1: it's who performs and who does. It's make or miss
15:47
Speaker 1: league and all that. And some guys rise up there
15:50
Speaker 1: and they turned into a fire breathing dragon in the
15:52
Speaker 1: big moment. And then there's others that turned into a
15:56
Speaker 1: lizard under a heat lamp. So there is that. This
15:59
Speaker 1: was gladiator stuff, the World Baseball Classic, it was gladiator stuff.
16:03
Speaker 1: Er go the old the character Russell Crowe back in
16:07
Speaker 1: the day in the arena, screaming are you not entertained?
16:10
Speaker 1: Are you not entertained? Like that? And for once the
16:15
Speaker 1: answer was not a sarcastic shrug which I normally give
16:21
Speaker 1: and give side eye when I'm asked that question, Were
16:24
Speaker 1: you not entertained. Please losers. No, this was a full
16:29
Speaker 1: throated yes, Benny Brightside again, even Rob Manford could not
16:35
Speaker 1: mess this up, which is shocking. Which is shocking. And
16:39
Speaker 1: the timing people keep saying we got to move it.
16:41
Speaker 1: We was not more about this minute. They can say,
16:42
Speaker 1: we're got to move the World Baseball Classic to the
16:44
Speaker 1: either after the World Series or do it do it
16:47
Speaker 1: at the All Star Break. I think the timings a
16:51
Speaker 1: chef's kiss, I really do. And here's why. It's right
16:56
Speaker 1: in that Bermuda triangle on the sports calendar. You feel
17:01
Speaker 1: me on that. So the beer in a triangle is
17:03
Speaker 1: post Super Bowl, post NFL Free Agency, before March Madness.
17:08
Speaker 1: So this is kind of there's like a couple of
17:10
Speaker 1: weeks and they timed I know that, the marketing people
17:12
Speaker 1: of baseball, they said, we'll put it here. This is why.
17:15
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons they put it there. And
17:17
Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense. So two enthusiastic thumbs up, which
17:22
Speaker 1: almost never happens to the World Baseball Classic, a rare
17:26
Speaker 1: win for Major League Baseball. And it was not well,
17:29
Speaker 1: it wasn't major League Baseball production, but it was all right.
17:32
Speaker 1: Last word, Now, speaking of the timing of all this.
17:36
Speaker 1: Some comments made my USA skipper Mark de Rosa, who
17:40
Speaker 1: will return to his TV job. He believes that every player,
17:44
Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing, every player would volunteer to play in
17:49
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic if it is moved to the
17:51
Speaker 1: All Star Break. Now, I just explained, I like the
17:54
Speaker 1: fact that this is in March, and it's around big
17:57
Speaker 1: events and all that stuff, So they would be according
18:01
Speaker 1: to this a quote from Derosi said, they would be
18:03
Speaker 1: more prepared and more dialed in. Team USA skipper said,
18:07
Speaker 1: and we'd be dealing with way less restrictions and way
18:09
Speaker 1: less guidelines on the pitching, he stated, the pitching if
18:15
Speaker 1: it has moved to mid season, no question about it.
18:17
Speaker 1: So the question for us again, Mark de Rosa believing
18:22
Speaker 1: every player would volunteer for the World Baseball Classic if
18:26
Speaker 1: it has moved to the All Star Break. How realistic?
18:29
Speaker 1: Here's the question, how realistic does this come across? So
18:33
Speaker 1: my reaction is what planner are you living on? That's
18:36
Speaker 1: my reaction. And where you're at here? Maybe you're on
18:40
Speaker 1: an island somewhere. Is it fantasy island? Is it? I
18:43
Speaker 1: don't know? That is My word is humbuggery. That is
18:47
Speaker 1: some humbuggery by Mark de Ros. It sounds good in
18:52
Speaker 1: a press release to send it out there, grow the
18:54
Speaker 1: game for the good of baseball. You throw that out. Meanwhile,
18:59
Speaker 1: all the players here is goodbye vacation, Hello extra work,
19:08
Speaker 1: all right, hello extra work. The All Star Break is
19:12
Speaker 1: sacred Baseball. Teams play anywhere from six to seven days
19:18
Speaker 1: a week. They normally get a couple days off a month,
19:21
Speaker 1: but they're playing every single day's travel days and things
19:24
Speaker 1: like that, and they get paid a lot of money.
19:26
Speaker 1: And trust me, they travel like kings, travel like kings.
19:32
Speaker 1: But they still complain about it because everyone complains about everything.
19:35
Speaker 1: And so the All Star Break is a very special time.
19:37
Speaker 1: That is a time for the banana hammock, the umbrella
19:42
Speaker 1: cocktail drink. And you're asking, guys, if you play the
19:46
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, to swap Cabo for Tokyo is what
19:51
Speaker 1: you'd be doing in spring training. World Baseball Classic. It
19:54
Speaker 1: works because it's a field trip. It's like you're getting
19:57
Speaker 1: out of something, you're escaping then of the Grapefruit and
20:02
Speaker 1: Cactus League. And let's not ignore also that this myth
20:07
Speaker 1: that the owners and the executives and the nerds in
20:11
Speaker 1: baseball are gonna all of a sudden stop hovering like
20:15
Speaker 1: overprotective parents. That's not gonna stop. Don't touch my two
20:20
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars pitcher. You think they're gonna
20:23
Speaker 1: loosen restrictions, like, that's what Mark de Ros's pitching. He's like, Wow,
20:27
Speaker 1: we move to the All Star Game, will be less
20:28
Speaker 1: restrictions on pitching? Really, I want to bet on that,
20:31
Speaker 1: No chance. Plus the other thing is if a guy
20:34
Speaker 1: gets hurt in March, it's not good. However, you haven't
20:38
Speaker 1: played a regular season game yet. You can adjust and say, well,
20:42
Speaker 1: he wasn't part of the team. You have time just
20:44
Speaker 1: in July. If this thing goes on in July, it's
20:49
Speaker 1: Oregon Donors stuff is what it is. You. Unless there's
20:53
Speaker 1: a giant bag of endorsement money, the idea would be
20:58
Speaker 1: da dead on arrival. That would be that. Plus, you'd
21:03
Speaker 1: have to have what a month off for the All
21:06
Speaker 1: Star break because this thing two weeks. You'd have to
21:09
Speaker 1: have a week to gear up for it. You get
21:11
Speaker 1: the players get together and sing Kumbaya, and then you'd
21:15
Speaker 1: have to have a week after it where the guys
21:17
Speaker 1: could go on vacation, so it would be a four
21:19
Speaker 1: week pause in the Midsummer portion of the baseball schedule.
21:24

24:06
Speaker 1: Stop Fungus says, I could look it up, but you're
24:09
Speaker 1: the tire raq king. You know if they sell Class
24:11
Speaker 1: eight tires. I do not, But they have a website.
24:16
Speaker 1: I know you're in your tidy Whitey's truck Stop, Fungus,
24:19
Speaker 1: and you're playing video games right now, and I thought
24:21
Speaker 1: you were retired. Anyway, they have this big website and
24:25
Speaker 1: I don't know that they sell those who or not,
24:27
Speaker 1: but you can check it out and maybe if not,
24:29
Speaker 1: you can contact them and say, hey, there's a lot
24:32
Speaker 1: of truck drivers that listen to the Ben Malor Show
24:34
Speaker 1: overnight and those boys need tires, and there's a whole
24:39
Speaker 1: market there. You can make a lot of money, and
24:42
Speaker 1: we need tires. King Rory writes in from Wisconsin. He says,
24:46
Speaker 1: this is a travesty everything the United States has done
24:50
Speaker 1: for Venezuela, and this is the thanks we get, going
24:54
Speaker 1: off script and stabbing us in the back. There is
24:58
Speaker 1: still time to do the right thing and give the
25:00
Speaker 1: United States the hunk of metal I mean trophy. Yeah,
25:04
Speaker 1: I know about that Late Night Drug tester says, I'm
25:06
Speaker 1: just grateful that Bobby Witt Junior did not face the
25:09
Speaker 1: wrath of the opening monologue Kansas City twenty twenty six
25:14
Speaker 1: Al Central Champs. So what came from the late night
25:19
Speaker 1: drug tester? He's fired up. There are plenty of guys
25:23
Speaker 1: that we could have attacked. Aaron Judges, the captain. He
25:25
Speaker 1: gave the speech prior to the World Baseball Classic where
25:29
Speaker 1: half the team ended up needing a nap. Remember that,
25:34
Speaker 1: and they need a pillow. Bobby Witt Junior betted a
25:38
Speaker 1: robust two point fifty, which was better in this overall
25:42
Speaker 1: in the World Baseball Classic. But Wit actually hit the
25:44
Speaker 1: ball better, had a better ops than Bryce Harper. Judge
25:49
Speaker 1: did have a higher OPS than Bobby Wit Junior. Wit
25:52
Speaker 1: was zero for three. He did have a walk, and
25:54
Speaker 1: he scored scored a run because he was ahead of
25:58
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper in the lineup and Harper at the home
25:59
Speaker 1: run and that's how that went. But shut out for
26:04
Speaker 1: the first seven innings of the game. And I was
26:07
Speaker 1: texting a buddy of mine tourning again was that kind
26:09
Speaker 1: of getting into it? And I was like, this is
26:11
Speaker 1: kind of cool, you know, somewhat seemed like an important game.
26:14
Speaker 1: I'm not fully in on it, but I kind of
26:17
Speaker 1: dig it, and I was like it, Dwarto Rodriguez, this
26:21
Speaker 1: guy sucks. What is going on? And I thought maybe
26:26
Speaker 1: I confused him with someone else. I was like, I
26:29
Speaker 1: must have gotten him wrong. There must be some other
26:30
Speaker 1: picture who's a left hander and like him, who's actually bad,
26:35
Speaker 1: and he's good. And I know I went back the
26:37
Speaker 1: last two years, Dward Rodriguez had an ERA of over five,
26:42
Speaker 1: and well, that would be trash. That would be trash.
26:47
Speaker 1: And then screwed the whole thing up, going out there
26:50
Speaker 1: and shutting down the USA lineup, and he went four
26:52
Speaker 1: and a third inning. Scrooge part of the younger demo,
26:55
Speaker 1: But give it a couple of years, he'll be part
26:56
Speaker 1: of the older demo. He says. Unpopular opinion. I would
27:00
Speaker 1: think about trading Aaron Judge after this season. If the
27:04
Speaker 1: Yankees don't win the title, Judge won't be getting better
27:07
Speaker 1: as he's at this peak age. He'll be collecting checks
27:11
Speaker 1: every year while he'll be a main reason they drown
27:17
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Yeah, I don't see that happening. And
27:22
Speaker 1: here's why school at look at the Dodgers. I said,
27:27
Speaker 1: I'll die on this mountain. The Dodgers, if they had
27:29
Speaker 1: gotten rid of Kershaw years earlier, it would have won
27:33
Speaker 1: at least two more, if not three, World Series. Now,
27:35
Speaker 1: I know the twenty seventeen thing. The Astros were cheating,
27:40
Speaker 1: so you gotta throw that one out of There were
27:42
Speaker 1: other opportunities there, and the Dodgers kept going back to
27:46
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw thinking, which we all know is the definition
27:49
Speaker 1: of inay sanity, thinking that something was going to change,
27:52
Speaker 1: thinking that something was going to be different, and it
27:55
Speaker 1: never was. It never ever was. And Aaron Judge is
27:59
Speaker 1: going to turn thirty four years old in late April,
28:06
Speaker 1: which is not old unless you're an athlete. It's not
28:09
Speaker 1: old unless you're an athlete. And Aaron Judster all these
28:11
Speaker 1: numbers and all the three MVP awards that he's got,
28:15
Speaker 1: and all the All Star nods and Silver Sluggers and
28:19
Speaker 1: this thing and that what you mna call it, and
28:21
Speaker 1: all the awards that he's picked up. He is, by
28:25
Speaker 1: any measurement, a stiff. In the playoffs, He's a career
28:30
Speaker 1: two thirty six hitter. In the postseason, he just batted
28:33
Speaker 1: two twenty two in the World Baseball Classic Batted two
28:35
Speaker 1: twenty two in his only World Series Batted two twenty
28:38
Speaker 1: two is only World series across the board. There are
28:41
Speaker 1: certain people that elevate their performance and there's others that
28:44
Speaker 1: do not elevate their performs. By the way, Coop, the
28:45
Speaker 1: computer in here is locked up still, so I can't
28:48
Speaker 1: take a call until you Until you get in here,
28:51

30:56
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for that. That's a non secuitary
30:59
Speaker 1: type thing. Jay Scoop says, we recently had the prime
31:02
Speaker 1: time Bennies. How come no one ever talks about the
31:05
Speaker 1: daytime Bennies. It's a good point. I did do a
31:09
Speaker 1: daytime show, Jay Scoop, back in the day, and it's
31:12
Speaker 1: a long time ago. I've been doing nights for a
31:14
Speaker 1: long stretch of Supermarket Steve a Yankee apologist, Yankee apologists,
31:19
Speaker 1: Supermarket Steve right Since says, once Aaron Judge said that
31:22
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic championship game was going to be
31:25
Speaker 1: more important than the World Series game. We should have
31:28
Speaker 1: just put the USA down for a loss. He would
31:32
Speaker 1: have found a way to f it up and sure enough,
31:37
Speaker 1: there you go, Well put it on and take it off.
31:40
Speaker 1: I saw Kyle Schwarbert of the Fighting Phills and Potters
31:45
Speaker 1: with Mason Miller, who were among there were a bunch
31:49
Speaker 1: of players. Of these are the two that I saw
31:51
Speaker 1: that were given the silver medal by rob Manfraud, the
31:56
Speaker 1: Commissioner of Baseball, and they took it off. Miller took
31:59
Speaker 1: it off immediately, and then Schwarber took his off a
32:03
Speaker 1: little bit after he got kind of close to the dugout.
32:08
Speaker 1: And this is like the thing you're supposed to do
32:09
Speaker 1: if you don't win the thing. It's like in the Olympics,
32:12
Speaker 1: you get the silver. Nobody wants that. He's just stop
32:15
Speaker 1: giving that out while I just trying. Again, they're trying
32:17
Speaker 1: to make it like the Olympics, and they're trying to
32:19
Speaker 1: did anyone watch the pre am I the only one
32:21
Speaker 1: that watched the pregame show on Fox, the pageantry, the
32:25
Speaker 1: over the top. I literally almost puked in my mouth.
32:28
Speaker 1: On the pregame, A Rod was wearing knee pads. He
32:32
Speaker 1: said Aaron Judz was going to hit two home runs.
32:36
Speaker 1: Then I think he said Schwarber was going to hit
32:37
Speaker 1: two home runs. So you just he just say whatever.
32:41
Speaker 1: A Rod was on. He was really enjoying himself. And
32:45
Speaker 1: at least on the they had all these like it's
32:48
Speaker 1: very patriotic, I know, they're obviously trying to lean into this.
32:51
Speaker 1: I get it. It's not the Olympics. They're trying to
32:53
Speaker 1: make it the Olympics, and uh just felt contrived, choreographed, forced,
33:00
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It was. It was awkward, it was
33:04
Speaker 1: it was a tough watch for me. Now, that was
33:07
Speaker 1: not designed for me. That was designed for you. That
33:10
Speaker 1: was designed for people that don't really like sports and
33:12
Speaker 1: baseball and just want to get wrapped up in the
33:14
Speaker 1: flag and all that. And that's what that was. Uh,
33:17
Speaker 1: that's that's what that event was for. So and and
33:21
Speaker 1: the guys, all the the baseball players for Team USA
33:24
Speaker 1: showed up. They were wearing hockey jerseys from the Olympic,
33:28
Speaker 1: same jerseys the Olympic hockey guys were wearing, which would
33:31
Speaker 1: have been great had they won. It's at embarrassing and
33:36
Speaker 1: you caught there they they were all bragging them. But
33:38
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I got there. I got a call from
33:40
Speaker 1: this Olympic hero and that Olympic hero and it was
33:42
Speaker 1: it was great, and uh it was, it was awesome,
33:46
Speaker 1: just just just absolutely wonderful. And you had Aaron Judge
33:50
Speaker 1: tell Jeter on the pregame show that Jack Hughes losing
33:55
Speaker 1: his teeth at the Olympics inspired Team USA for the
33:59
Speaker 1: World Baseball It was it was just a little much
34:03
Speaker 1: too much sugar. Oh too much sugar. Yeah, some of
