- 4:23Speaker 2: our lead this hour talking bays Mall. We'll go to
- 4:28Speaker 2: Miami South Florida, and the legend of Marlin's Man was
- 4:33Speaker 2: in the Hissy that's his home ballpark, not that he
- 4:36Speaker 2: goes very often because the Marlin suck, but there he
- 4:39Speaker 2: was Marlin's Man. He paid five grand, he sent me.
- 4:42Speaker 2: I was texting him during the game because I was like, hey,
- 4:44Speaker 2: this guy cool. I know the guy sitting right behind
- 4:46Speaker 2: home plate, might as well text him. So I was
- 4:48Speaker 2: a textan Marlin's Man and He's like, hey, he spent
- 4:51Speaker 2: five thousand dollars for the seat right behind home plate
- 4:54Speaker 2: so he could watch the semi finals of the World
- 4:57Speaker 2: Baseball Classic, Team US Say against an Absolute Wagon from
- 5:04Speaker 2: the Dominican Republic Squad. It was on FS one. Did
- 5:08Speaker 2: you watch will you check it? No, you were not
- 5:09Speaker 2: watching all right? Well you missed out. Uh maybe maybe
- 5:13Speaker 2: you didn't pay any attention. You didn't know what's on.
- 5:16Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Well we watched that.
- 5:17Speaker 2: You would not have to Gunner Henderson, who was in
- 5:20Speaker 2: the lineup because the cheating astro Alex Bregman was given
- 5:25Speaker 2: the day off there, so Gunner Henderson and Roman Anthony
- 5:29Speaker 2: of the Red Sox. He had an oriole and a
- 5:31Speaker 2: Red Sox teaming up hitting home runs and USA USA
- 5:37Speaker 2: contained the high powered Dominican Republic's offense, the very robust offense.
- 5:43Speaker 1: There in a game that came to.
- 5:46Speaker 2: The final pitch two to one the final as Team USA.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Wins and they are now one win.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Away from the second World Baseball Classic Championship. This thing's
- 5:59Speaker 2: only been around for twenty years, and they got some
- 6:02Speaker 2: help from the inflated strike zone. There is no replay
- 6:07Speaker 2: in the World Baseball Classic on pitches, so the final pitch,
- 6:11Speaker 2: which was clearly low, was called the strike.
- 6:15Speaker 1: And that was it.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Turn out, the last the parties over for the team
- 6:22Speaker 2: from the Dominican Republic, now the NL reigning Cy Young
- 6:25Speaker 2: winner from the Petsburg Pirates, Paul Skins. He got the
- 6:29Speaker 2: ball for the Americans. He went out there. He's two
- 6:32Speaker 2: and zero in the Baseball World Baseball Classic. He gave
- 6:34Speaker 2: up one run on six hits in four and a
- 6:38Speaker 2: third innings, and the USA bullpen came in a hodgepodge
- 6:44Speaker 2: of relief pitchers and held the Dominicans high powered offense
- 6:48Speaker 2: scoreless the rest of the way. So the team representing America,
- 6:53Speaker 2: wrapping themselves in the flag now, will take on the
- 6:56Speaker 2: winner of the game which will be played later today
- 6:58Speaker 2: on this Monday, the Italians Americans, the Italians versus Venezuela,
- 7:05Speaker 2: and that'll be in the winter. That game will play
- 7:09Speaker 2: Tuesday night, Tuesday night for the championship of the World
- 7:13Speaker 2: Baseball Classic. The story here, though, for many, has been
- 7:16Speaker 2: Paul Skins and his performance in this game.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Lot of love.
- 7:20Speaker 2: That's a good jumping off point the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher
- 7:23Speaker 2: Paul Skins. So let us discuss the question does this
- 7:27Speaker 2: WBC performance solidify the legend of pitcher Paul Skeins? Does
- 7:35Speaker 2: it solidify it as he dominated? Many are saying he dominated.
- 7:40Speaker 2: I'll trust that in a minute. So I've got Planet
- 7:42Speaker 2: Fitness supersized and twilight Zone and we will combine all
- 7:49Speaker 2: of these things together, and we are going to break dance,
- 7:53Speaker 2: is what we're going to do. So number why?
- 7:57Speaker 1: Number why? All right?
- 8:00Speaker 2: So this was billboarded. It was billboarded as Paul Skin's
- 8:06Speaker 2: most important start since becoming a professional pitcher, that this
- 8:11Speaker 2: was it. This was the most pressure that he's been
- 8:15Speaker 2: under playing in Pittsburgh. The season ends when they leave
- 8:18Speaker 2: Florida to start the regular season. The Pirates have been
- 8:21Speaker 2: eliminated from playoff contention. So in terms of how he
- 8:26Speaker 2: did and rising to the challenge and that he.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Dominated, I don't eat dominated. Oh you're such a buzzk.
- 8:33Speaker 1: I don't think he dominated. Am I supposed to lie?
- 8:36Speaker 1: Do you want me to lie? I don't think he did.
- 8:39Speaker 2: So pump the brakes on the ticket tape parade. And
- 8:42Speaker 2: here's why everybody's acting like Paul Skins just walked out
- 8:46Speaker 2: of some cornfield in Iowa like to feel the dreams
- 8:50Speaker 2: and saved baseball. Yeah, pump the brakes on that right,
- 8:56Speaker 2: slow your row. What are you doing now? It's the
- 9:00Speaker 2: middle part of March, as we're talking here, It's the
- 9:03Speaker 2: middle part of March. Now was Paul Skin's good.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Sure he was good. He was good. Yes, he was good.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I said that he was good.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Legendary is that the stuff of legends, Not where I
- 9:13Speaker 2: come from. Maybe where you come from, but where I
- 9:15Speaker 2: come from, that is not the stuff of legends. It's
- 9:18Speaker 2: not He went four and a third innings, seventy one
- 9:22Speaker 2: pitches for Paul Skins.
- 9:23Speaker 1: That's it. Seventy one.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Was you Rambo? He's not Rambo. That was not a
- 9:29Speaker 2: Rambo performance. That was a guy jogging on a treadmill
- 9:32Speaker 2: at Planet Fitness. Okay, good, you're on a trademill. Congratulate,
- 9:35Speaker 2: but you're not running the marathon. That's not the marathon.
- 9:39Speaker 2: You were on a treadmill at Planet Fitness.
- 9:41Speaker 1: That's it.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Part of the issue that we have with the World
- 9:44Speaker 2: Baseball Classic is that it's training wheels baseball with the pitch.
- 9:50Speaker 2: It's training wheels baseball that they're not buying in. Everyone's
- 9:54Speaker 2: worried about liability and protecting the players and all that,
- 9:59Speaker 2: and there's a lot of money involved. I get it,
- 10:01Speaker 2: but you can't sell this as the end all be
- 10:04Speaker 2: all when you have caps on everything when it comes
- 10:08Speaker 2: to the pitching, you can't do it. It's training wheels baseball,
- 10:13Speaker 2: So well, you're not gonna win the Tour de France
- 10:15Speaker 2: if you got the training wheels on, You're not.
- 10:16Speaker 1: That's not it. Now, the crowd was pro.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Dominican, even though the game was in Miami and it
- 10:23Speaker 2: was like a home game for the team from the
- 10:27Speaker 2: Dominican Republic there, and it was it seemed like a
- 10:29Speaker 2: great atmosphere watching on TV. I don't know if it
- 10:31Speaker 2: was actually in the ballparking on it sometimes that's misleading. Uh,
- 10:34Speaker 2: it looked like it was pretty cool in the ballpark
- 10:37Speaker 2: and all that. Now, that said, the legends of Team USA.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Didn't didn't dominate, didn't. I didn't see a lot of domination.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I did not. They were dodging a lot of bullets.
- 10:50Speaker 1: They did that.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Bryce Harper and Aaron Judge combined to go two for
- 10:55Speaker 2: eight in this game. Judge did have a home run
- 10:57Speaker 2: taken away by Jay Riding center field, So you got
- 11:02Speaker 2: to hit it further than just at the base of
- 11:03Speaker 2: the at the very top of the wall, otherwise there's
- 11:06Speaker 2: a chance the ball will be taken back and he
- 11:08Speaker 2: will lose a home run. And those guys batting two
- 11:10Speaker 2: point fifty in this game they were upstaged Bryce Harper
- 11:14Speaker 2: and Aaron Judge upstayed staged by Gunner Henderson and Roman
- 11:18Speaker 2: Anthony as they hit the home runs.
- 11:20Speaker 1: And Roman Anthony was on.
- 11:21Speaker 2: The postgame on FS one. There didn't seem all that
- 11:25Speaker 2: thrilled to get a T shirt from Big Poppy. They
- 11:28Speaker 2: might want to upgrade the prize on that. Those guys
- 11:30Speaker 2: never seem all that excited to get a T shirt
- 11:32Speaker 2: from Big Poppy on the FS one pre game.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Anyway or postgame.
- 11:36Speaker 2: So page two, the loser side, Now you know, the
- 11:38Speaker 2: better story is in the losing locker room and many
- 11:42Speaker 2: questioning the integrity of the umpire and that final pitch
- 11:47Speaker 2: to the Dominican Republic and the two to one loss
- 11:49Speaker 2: to the United States there and the pitch was clearly
- 11:53Speaker 2: not a strike, but it was called a strike that
- 11:56Speaker 2: ended the game.
- 11:57Speaker 1: There is no reviews, so that's it.
- 12:00Speaker 2: And imagining next time they do this in a couple
- 12:03Speaker 2: of years, they will have they will have the review available.
- 12:08Speaker 2: They didn't have it this time. So that was it,
- 12:10Speaker 2: and the Dominican Republic losers. Now Albert Pulos, who's getting
- 12:14Speaker 2: paid ten million dollars a year by the Angels to
- 12:16Speaker 2: manage the Dominican Republic gam So Albert there is out
- 12:22Speaker 2: there and he didn't put blame. He said, he didn't
- 12:25Speaker 2: put any blame on the umpires. The manager of the
- 12:27Speaker 2: Dominican Republic says, I don't want to focus on that
- 12:30Speaker 2: last pitch. Albert Pulos said, I'm not going to criticize
- 12:35Speaker 2: any of that. It wasn't meant to be close.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Quote.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Okay, So question here it is who gets the biggest
- 12:44Speaker 2: bowl of blame Stu? The biggest bowl of blame Stu
- 12:51Speaker 2: for the Dominican Republic stars, an all star squad not
- 12:55Speaker 2: getting it done. So I would consider that scoring one
- 12:59Speaker 2: run in a game to advance to the championship for
- 13:03Speaker 2: a roster as loaded as the Dominican the World Baseball
- 13:08Speaker 2: Class has only been around for twenty years, that's got
- 13:10Speaker 2: to be greatest choke job, greatest choke job by a
- 13:14Speaker 2: loaded offense in the history of the World Baseball Classic.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Does anyone disagree with that? No one disagrees with that? Okay, good, good?
- 13:22Speaker 1: That roster.
- 13:24Speaker 2: You look at the line up there for the World
- 13:26Speaker 2: Baseball Classic, the Dominican Republic team, it was like the
- 13:30Speaker 2: Avengers movie, is what it was. And the pitching, which
- 13:34Speaker 2: is supposedly the weak spot for the Dominican Republic. They
- 13:36Speaker 2: only limited the USA squad to two runs. You figure
- 13:39Speaker 2: US only scores two runs, the Dominicans are going to
- 13:43Speaker 2: win the game. It's not like Paul Skeins pitched the
- 13:45Speaker 2: entire game. As we said, four and a third innings
- 13:48Speaker 2: and that was it. This roster if you didn't see
- 13:50Speaker 2: the game loaded, if you haven't watched the Dominican Republic team,
- 13:53Speaker 2: you can't watch them now because they're out. But roster
- 13:56Speaker 2: loaded with MVP candidates.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Literally in the air. Every one.
- 14:00Speaker 2: You had chest puffing, pelvic thrusting, bat flipping like they'd
- 14:05Speaker 2: already won the whole damn thing.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Early on in the game, they were.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Very excited and then poof squad douche. You get squad doosh.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Six of the top ten most Valuable Player voters in
- 14:19Speaker 2: terms of the guys that got the votes for the MVP,
- 14:21Speaker 2: six of the top ten were playing in this for
- 14:25Speaker 2: the Dominican team, and those guys mostly went about as
- 14:29Speaker 2: quiet as it's like going to the library during finals
- 14:34Speaker 2: week at to pick your favorite university. Back in the day,
- 14:38Speaker 2: the Supersized Bowl, the super Sized Bowl of suck ste well,
- 14:45Speaker 2: that goes to one. Soto, come on down one. Congratulations, Yes,
- 14:51Speaker 2: seven hundred and sixty five million.
- 14:55Speaker 1: The Mets are paying this guy.
- 14:56Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 14:56Speaker 2: It wasn't a Mets game. I get all that he
- 14:58Speaker 2: had four bat he went zero for four. Juan Soto.
- 15:03Speaker 2: The lights bright. Now the Mets. Who knows if they're
- 15:07Speaker 2: ever gonna make the League Championship Series of the World
- 15:10Speaker 2: Series with Juan Soto.
- 15:11Speaker 1: There's no guarantee.
- 15:13Speaker 2: One one of the great bag chasing stories of my lifetime,
- 15:16Speaker 2: and based on the money, he made the greatest bag
- 15:18Speaker 2: chasing story. Good for him. He also butter fingered in
- 15:22Speaker 2: error fielding a ball out in the outfield. So not
- 15:26Speaker 2: exactly a superstar performance on the big stage here for
- 15:29Speaker 2: Juan Soto. More like a ghost, more like a goes
- 15:33Speaker 2: seven hundred and sixty five million. And there was a
- 15:37Speaker 2: gunfight and he brought a butter knife. That's not that great.
- 15:41Speaker 2: But what do I know?
- 15:42Speaker 1: I just do the Overnight show. What do I know?
- 15:44Speaker 2: Here? And the how about the Padre bash brothers? How
- 15:47Speaker 2: about these twos for Broni's Did you see what they
- 15:49Speaker 2: were up to? Fernando Tatise and Manny Machato. They went
- 15:53Speaker 2: two for eight. My computer, like brain, tells me that's
- 15:57Speaker 2: a two to fifty batting average. The Big Boppers turned
- 16:00Speaker 2: into floppers in this game, and eight guys left on
- 16:06Speaker 2: base for the Dominican Republic Team eight. And again they
- 16:10Speaker 2: were strutting around here. At the beginning of this game.
- 16:11Speaker 2: They were like Pete Cox with their feathers up in
- 16:14Speaker 2: the air, and even early in the tournament and they
- 16:16Speaker 2: were hitting all I think they set a record for
- 16:17Speaker 2: home runs in the World Baseball Classic. And then the
- 16:22Speaker 2: bill came and they shrank and they had alligator arms
- 16:27Speaker 2: is what they had, Not Kyler Murray, but they just
- 16:29Speaker 2: had alligator arms.
- 16:30Speaker 1: That's it.
- 16:31Speaker 2: And so the last strike was garbage. I'm not gonna
- 16:34Speaker 2: sit here and argue it and say, well the umpire
- 16:36Speaker 2: got it right. No, But however, it should never have
- 16:39Speaker 2: come down to that. I'll concede that was not a strike,
- 16:43Speaker 2: which is obvious. You cry about it.
- 16:46Speaker 1: How do you.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Only have one run going to that point? Again, Paul
- 16:50Speaker 2: Skins did not pitch into the eighth inning. You had
- 16:52Speaker 2: the flotsam and jetsam of the Team USA bullpen and
- 16:57Speaker 2: a lot of Okay, there's not great pitchers out there,
- 17:01Speaker 2: and you didn't do anything in terms of scoring runs.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Bad job by.
- 17:06Speaker 2: You get plenty of chances to avoid leaving the game
- 17:09Speaker 2: in the hands of the umpire in the ninth inning.
- 17:12Speaker 1: So loser talk.
- 17:13Speaker 2: USA was better in the moment, only by a little bit.
- 17:15Speaker 2: A couple of home runs. That's all it took to
- 17:17Speaker 2: win the game, all right. Meanwhile, final point to pro
- 17:19Speaker 2: bouncy ball. Why we need to pause and celebrate one
- 17:24Speaker 2: of the great hustles of the modern world. You talk
- 17:28Speaker 2: about getting the bag. We talked about Juan Soto getting
- 17:30Speaker 2: the bag. Well, this is next level as well. After
- 17:32Speaker 2: sitting out the game on Sunday for Philly, congratulations clap here,
- 17:39Speaker 2: Congratulations to sixer star Joel Embiid, who has now officially
- 17:44Speaker 2: missed as many regular season games as he has played
- 17:48Speaker 2: in during his career. So very hard to do, but
- 17:52Speaker 2: Joel Embid has managed.
- 17:53Speaker 1: To do it.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Somewhere on the other side, Bill Walton across the pearly
- 17:58Speaker 2: gates is shaking his head.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, let's let that marinate for a second.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Joel Embiid has missed as many games as he has
- 18:07Speaker 2: played in in his NBA career. So the question for
- 18:09Speaker 2: the panel, how do you react to Joel Embiid and
- 18:13Speaker 2: that amazing factoid that he has now missed as many
- 18:17Speaker 2: games as he's played in during his NBA career four
- 18:20Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five games missed, four hundred and eighty
- 18:23Speaker 2: five games played in. That's it, that's all. So my
- 18:27Speaker 2: first thought is this is something out of the twilight Zone.
- 18:31Speaker 2: It is out of the Joel Embiid is a living, breathing,
- 18:35Speaker 2: fifty to fifty raffle ticket. You never know what you're
- 18:39Speaker 2: gonna get when you show up to the areata. Will
- 18:40Speaker 2: Joel Embiid play or not?
- 18:43Speaker 1: Now? Remember the old slogan they.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Were shoving down everyone's throat in Philadelphia, Trust the Process.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Trust the Process. That was not a rebuilding plan. It
- 18:54Speaker 2: was not a rebuilding. But that was a late night
- 18:56Speaker 2: infomercial is what it was. And they were selling snake
- 19:00Speaker 2: and it was a Bogo buy one, get one freeze
- 19:03Speaker 2: snake oil deal. Come on down, everybody, Now you just
- 19:06Speaker 2: wait three to five years and prestale you're gonna win
- 19:12Speaker 2: a championship. The championship will magically appear. Trust the Process on.
- 19:17Speaker 2: We don't want that, Oh no, no, on just listen, it's
- 19:19Speaker 2: gonna work. And no, no, no, well listen, we've now
- 19:22Speaker 2: gone way more than five years and the results are in.
- 19:27Speaker 2: They suck and when they don't suck, they blow. There
- 19:30Speaker 2: she blows the seventy six ers Joel Andbid. Remember he
- 19:34Speaker 2: came into the NBA with a medical report that was
- 19:38Speaker 2: thicker than a cheesecake factory menu.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Philly knew it, everybody knew it. Now the guy had to.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Get for gap coming out of Kansas, Joel MB He's like, boy,
- 19:47Speaker 2: this guy's got that star Aura. However, in the modern NBA,
- 19:53Speaker 2: you think about where we are right now, in the NBA,
- 19:57Speaker 2: where they baby and coddle the players, and they never
- 20:00Speaker 2: expect you to do more than the bare minimum. Joel
- 20:03Speaker 2: Embiid has failed to meet that threshold, which is hard
- 20:05Speaker 2: to do. All right, Bubble rap, spoon feed you minutes.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Early in his career, he didn't even play the first
- 20:11Speaker 2: couple years getting paid. He didn't even play. Load management
- 20:16Speaker 2: to infinity and beyond load management, the whole spa treatment,
- 20:21Speaker 2: the many, the petty, the whole thing. And now congratulation,
- 20:24Speaker 2: happy birthday today. As we're doing this in real time,
- 20:27Speaker 2: is Joel Embid's birthday, So happy birthday to Joel Embiid,
- 20:30Speaker 2: one of the great scam artists of our time. Thirty
- 20:33Speaker 2: two years old now, Joel Embiid, and in big man
- 20:37Speaker 2: years in the NBA, A lot of gray hairs in
- 20:40Speaker 2: the beard, Yeah, a lot of gray hairs. It's not
- 20:43Speaker 2: no gray, no, no, there's a lot of gray, a
- 20:47Speaker 2: lot of gray. And the athletic prime, the hour glass,
- 20:49Speaker 2: the sands of the hourglass running out in the athletic
- 20:53Speaker 2: prime of Joel Embiid as he gets hemorrhoids on the bench.
- 20:58Speaker 2: Now when he's played, has he been right? Sure most
- 21:00Speaker 2: of the time. The numbers are good. Play Fantasy basketball,
- 21:03Speaker 2: very very good. Absolutely won a rather bogus MVP. It
- 21:08Speaker 2: didn't win it. Nicole Jokic should have, could have would
- 21:12Speaker 2: have won, but it went to Joel Embiid. And he's played,
- 21:14Speaker 2: He's mostly put up dominant stats and all that. But
- 21:17Speaker 2: in an era with Kawhi Leonard, in an era with
- 21:20Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid is the epitome of what this
- 21:26Speaker 2: era is. Drafted, missed two years and gotten paid all
- 21:31Speaker 2: this money. Good for him, the riches of Solomon, and
- 21:36Speaker 2: he doesn't seem bothered by it. It's like he just
- 21:39Speaker 2: doesn't seem to care that he doesn't play. It's like,
- 21:43Speaker 2: I must be the generation I like when I miss work,
- 21:46Speaker 2: I feel guilty. I'm like, oh my god, I shouldn't
- 21:48Speaker 2: they need me? You know, like I need to be there.
- 21:51Speaker 2: These guys in the NBA like, no, we don't care.
- 21:53Speaker 1: It's so good. I wish I was wired that way.
- 21:55Speaker 2: It'd be great. Live your life like that. Who cares
- 21:58Speaker 2: if he show up to work? You know? If we
- 22:00Speaker 2: getting paid thirty forty million dollars year, it doesn't matter
- 22:03Speaker 2: and beat for all the numbers. When the playoffs come around,
- 22:07Speaker 2: the Sixers keep waiting for Superman to show up, and
- 22:11Speaker 2: instead they get Johnny Thunder.
- 22:13Speaker 1: An ordinary human is.
