  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, We're gonna start out with
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the sore ever's been yapping about here. I got tons
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of Oh you're gonna do? Are you gonna do a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: funeral on the air for the Lakers? So it's like, well,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not that. I'm not that kind of guy.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I would you know, why would I pile on? Why
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: would I pile on? Come on now, please, Rick All
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and all those schmuck Laker historians. So the lead is,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: it's pro bouncy ball kind of. While we were away
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: from the watchtower overlooking the world of sports, the Kingdom
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of Sporty sporty Kingdom, the Lakers had an inferno. It
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: was an arson. They took places so good, it was
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: so great, right, in front of her eyes all these cocky,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: arrogant sob Laker historians, ha head you losers so good.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So if you missed it, they had the double whammy,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the double whammy, Lou Bye bye, He's out. The hammy
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: went whammy in Hillbilly Kobe down for the count. Both
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: injured a big bowl of rice crispies they got in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that disaster of a game against Oklahoma City at the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: end of last week. So the news came out of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the weekend that both will be out. It was a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: combination of snap crackle pop is how that went? Snap
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: crackle pop and see you later. So both out for
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the There's only a week to go in the regular season,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: which is part of the problem, and by the time
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they're able to go, more likely than not the Lakers
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: will be in can Kun having a great time. So
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: just to prove that they are horrible, went out and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: played a team who was actively trying not to win,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the mav Res, the worst Mavericks team in literally a generation,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: by design, by design, How did that go? Cooper Flag,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the main Event went out there. We used to have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a caller name mister Main Event and anyway, Cooper Flag
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the Prodigy went out scored forty five points, and the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: mav Res ended the longest home losing streak in thirty
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: two years. They beat the Lakers. Not how good is that? Oh?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: It was so good? Yeah. So there you go, fourteen
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: games in a row, fourteen games in a row they
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: had lost at home, and then the Lakers game and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: they beat him so great, I thought we had to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: show that uniform. That's it, you just won the game
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: like that, all right, So let's go jumping off point,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question do you feel bad? Do
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you feel bad for Lebron James and the Lakers there
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that their roster has crumbled just before the finish line
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in the start of the postseason. Do you feel bad?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: All right? So I've got hair brained smoothie and Thermo
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: nuclear missile, and we will combine all of these things together,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and we are going to put the biscuit in the basket,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. So hey, let's begin here.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So no, of course, we do not feel a single
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: ounce of empathy for Lebron, and the purple and Gold
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: historians who loved us strut around on they can't walk
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and tell you how great they are not anymore. Yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: not right now. So not one ounce, not one lit
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the ounce, not one And if you're looking for a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: shoulder to cry on, if you're that type, then we
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: recommend with the roster broken apart, you might want to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: call your mother. Maybe your mom can help you out.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, this is not some kind of horrific basketball
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: tragedy that it's being panted out to be. It's not
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that at all. In fact, I would argue, and I'll
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: be Benny Brightsott on this, this is a blessing in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: disguise for Lebron James and I'll tell you why. Okay,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and Luca for that matter, this is not a championship
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: team when they're healthy, they're not a championship team. And
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: now they had the ultimate get out of jail free card.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Hello oh my aching Hamy went way and all that,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and then and Austin Reeves also hurt. So you look
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: at it, it's like it's just keeping it real. They
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: weren't winning anything this year. You're delusional if you think
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that was the case. So this is actually a good thing.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It is now they have the ultimate gift. The yeah
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: but argument, the hair brained yeah but yeah, but yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: but the yeahbit rabbit yeah but yeah but yeah but
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: yeah but yeh, but but we'd stayed healthy.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeh but yub it yub it yubbit.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah but yeah, Okay, good luck on that. Yeah but
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: if Luca know the reasons that we would what, oh yeah, Okay,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you're not hoisting anything. Maybe boogers out of your nose.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You're hoisting. That's about it. So give me a break. Now.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City and I believe San Antonio also much better
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: than the Lake. The Denver will beat them, and a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: bunch of team Minnesota is capable. They beat them last year.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, that's all irrelevant. They're done, they're dead.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: H see you later, bye bye, out of here. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: again they have the built in excuse the Lakers now
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that you know the failure, it was not our fault.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: We're okay, there's other people because well, they shouldn't have
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: played in that game, and just have everyone not play
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and then just show up in the playoffs. And that's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that's a great product. That's a wonderful and it's unwatchable.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Most of the stuff out there in the NBA Friday
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: night over the weekend was by far the single worst
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: night in NBA history for lack of competition, and that's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: plausibly what they're selling anyway. So there you go. And wait,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: there's more, though I'm not done with that, because there's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: one other angle to this story far as the Lakers,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and they weren't good enough and now they don't have
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to worry about it and all that stuff. Let's talk
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: about the shall we say, the the spoonful sour spoonful
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of medicine that Lebron's gotta taste here on this one
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: because you have to build an excuse and all that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: A lot of this is on Lebron's shoulders in many ways.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why Lebron hog tied. In my opinion,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the franchise to draft Bronnie James, who, if you're on
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: is you might want him as your ball boy. Maybe
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know how good he is at getting the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: towels out there at the gatorade. I'm not sure about that,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: but you might want him as that he won the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Jeneka lottery, happen to be born into the Lebron James family,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and Lebron's got influence, and Genie Buss is a moron
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and so Lebron convinced them, hey, take take my kid,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: all right, well take kick kid. He can't play. Take
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: him anyway, it doesn't matter, all right, So they took him.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: The Lakers felt forced to take Bronnie James, who sucks.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: We all know that. And I don't think he could
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: find the basket consistently. If he gave him a flashlight
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and a map, it would be a problem. And so
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: he's not good. And now with the injuries piling up,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and a guess who now has to step up? One
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of the players that has to rise on up? Now yep,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: dan n n d n dan Nate. That's right, the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: kid who shouldn't even be on a team. A Hey, Lebron,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: how's that taste, Lebron?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, so so great. So now they need Brodny James
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to step up because all these guys are out and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he's one of the guys that has to step up
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and all that. Oh my god. So if the Lakers
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: there is a dimension the multiverse were they had a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: legitimate player at that position, a player that we're developing
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that actually had some legitimate skills, and instead they've got
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the family favor Bronnie James, Oh so great. So they
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: don't even have a puncher's chance when he's out there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It's it's a charity case. It's a hey, he won,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: he won a raffle and there you go. And so
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: instead they've got Sesame Street out there running around with
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Brownie James and it's a fricking Muppet show. Meanwhile, speaking
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of Luca, there is some controversy which nobody wants to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: talk about regarding that. So, after consultation with a number
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of medical professionals, including his own personal doctors, Luke has
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: decided to take his passport and head out of the country.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Say what, Yeah, he is heading back to Europe for
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: what they're calling specialized medical treatment on a grade two
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: hamstring injury for Luka Dancik. And they say, well, this
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: will be an attempt to expedite his return. Wink wink wink.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: All right, So question, is there anything fishy, anything fishy
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: about Luca leaving North America to get treatment for his hammy?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: All right? So when I hear specialized treatment in Europe,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: those things together are a dog whistle, is what they are.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And every man, woman and child who's paid any attention
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: over the years knows where I'm going with is when
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the hammy goes wammie, as it did. Here, Luca goes
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to the Witch's brewed. It's bubbling up. He watched the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: witches brew. He wants the witches brew and he's going
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: over there to get that magic potion. And you say, well,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: stem cells, but it's more than just stem cells. It's
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: just stuff that makes you biotic and turns your blood
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: into some kind of weird superhero Marvel comic storyline and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's the ultimate loophole. It's the ultimate loophole.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You go over somewhere like Germany and you get the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: super fruity smoothie with the extra additives tossed on top,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and you blend that thing stuff that's banned in the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: United States. Here God and uhbra cadabra, hocus pocus. Now,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the key is, you gotta flush it out of your
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: system before you hit customs at LAX, the Tom Bradley
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: terminal there at LAX. You gotta you gotta through the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: make sure it's out of your system. Then you know
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: it's just a little wink wink medical tour situation for
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Luca and the the NBA knows it. They look the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: other way. Everyone tells it. The Lakers, I'm pretty sure,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: are aware of it as well. It's a pharmaceutical vacation.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: People do this all the time, right, people go it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: people here in the US go to Mexico to get
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: treatment because it's cheaper candidate or somewhere like that. And
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you take your luck with that. You say, well, maybe
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: it'll be fine. Who knows? All right, now, last word
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to the complaint department. We go to the complaint department.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: We go where multiple star players have gone rogue in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the NBA, and I love it. I love this part
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of it. So while we were away here you had
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Joel and Bead, who's occasionally a basketball player, didn't play
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: very much, my part time employee for the Sixers, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: he was asked recently why he did not play against
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the Wizards. This was last week. Instead of just giving
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the company line, well, I wasn't feeling great or and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I just want to rest up, make sure I'm ready
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to go so I can go fishing in the off season.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no. He did not bite his tongue.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: He did not play nice. No no, no, he said
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Joel embiid quote. I was pissed. It's good opening quote.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I wanted to play basketball. I was not allowed to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: play basketball. I think this is more of a question,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: he said, for Darryl Moury, the beloved, beloved executive. Who
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the basketball writers they all have knee pads for They
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: love this guy. So then he we pivot over to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yannis and the box. So you got Joel embiid ranting
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: in Philly. Then you have Giannis and this is even better.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: So Adetakoobo stunningly turned apparently on his own team, something
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that doesn't normally happen. He went rogue against his own team.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: This the league is investigating the Bucks for cheat, for tanking. Course,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: if they investigated the league for tanking, there would be
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen teams in the NBA, maybe not that many
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: close to it that would be found guilty on all
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: charges high crimes and misdemeanors. So anyway, the NBA interviewed
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: both the team and a dent to Coombo, Yet the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: two parties are said to have told two totally different
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: tales on what exactly has happened. I dent to Koombo
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: letting the NBA know that he wants to play and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the team refuses to medically clear him to play, and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks, dent To Cumbo has
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: put on a show for the MASSES series, participated in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: pregame warm ups we were told, and had no signs
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of injury at all, and then when the game starts
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: he goes to put on his street clothes and gets
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: hemorrhoids on the bench. All right, question, with both Giannis
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Denta Cuombo and Joe Enbi publicly calling out, publicly calling
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: out their teams for not letting them play, what is
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: this signal to you? All right? So we've been watching
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of years under the guidance of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver. Under the guidance of Adam Silver, we're watching
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the absolute death of the competitor. There was a point
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: where you had you didn't play, and it was it
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: was like the shame on you and you needed the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: machiese mo to play, and then we did a complete
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: one to eighty from that. Now we're starting to tick
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the other direction, which is a good sign. It's a
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: good thing that we're going the other direction here. And
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I like you because we've seen the death of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: competitor and all that stuff, and so finally there's a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: couple of players that are like, well, no, I'm going
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to push back on that. I don't like that at all.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And Joel Embiid is out in front on the camera,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: as we said, basically calling Darryl Moray a liar in Philadelphia,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: which is just fricking great. I love it. And he's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: one of the early early nerd ball guys. Darryl Moray,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: big time nerd guy, you know, just that whole thing.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: There's a conference in Boston, the Nerd Sports Conference, and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: he's like the god, He's like a demi guy at
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that thing. Anyway, So Joel Embiid out in front of
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the cameras calling Daryl Moorey a liar, which is wonderful.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm healthy and I'm pissed and let me hoop
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. It's a total circus, which is
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with. And this is no more mister nice guy,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: a no more mister nice guy situation. And Embiid is
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: done being the poster boy for load management. He was
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: always trust the process and all that, and he lives
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in that online bubble and people are very nice in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that online bubble for guys like Embiid that don't do
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: their job and the whole load management generation of the NBA,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and Giannis is out there throwing spinning back elbows. He's
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: out there throwing spinning back elbows at his own front office,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: which I also love. And he wanted an off ramp
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: at the trade deadline and they blocked it. They didn't
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: trade him, and so he's sending over a Thermo nuclearsle
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: right into the bucks Bridge if you will here, and
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: this is a pivot point. I do believe we are
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: at a pivot point, which is good. The wins are shifting,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the wins are moving a little bit the other direction there,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and we are finally going to make playing basketball something
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that is of some value. Yeah. And I keep saying, oh,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: they got to play lust garnames. There's too many games,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: which has gotta be the single dumbest argument I've ever
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: heard I have. I don't understand how dumb can these
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: people be. So I say, well, if you play, they say, well,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: sixty fives, okay, so let's play sixty five games. The
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: players will play forty five games. But no, no, well,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: well if you play forty five, they'll play every game No,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: they won't play forty five games. They'll play twenty five games.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Do you not understand the mindset? That's the probably It's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: not the number of games. You can play one hundred
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and fifty games. It doesn't matter. You can play ten games.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: It done that play five.

  Speaker 1: Talk some baseball this hour and one of the things
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: about baseball that is both cool and annoying at the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: same time is the length of the season. In baseball,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it does not lend itself to good talk radio, because
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: second the NFL, you lose one game in the NFL,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: it's like losing ten games in baseball. You don't have
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to wait for ten losses to get all worked up.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: And so the standard and I watch these baseball games.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I got them on in the background when I'm getting
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: ready for the show, and I'm futching around, flipping from
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: game to game, and it's like, you know, you want
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to get really worked up into a lather. It's hard
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to do that when it's game nine of one hundred
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and sixty two, and they always have that old line, well,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: we've got to wait till forty games to find out
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: what we have. And so okay, well, I have a
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: talk show to do today. I can't wait forty games.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I have to do a show today. I have to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: give commentary today. I don't get to wait till forty games.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Imagine that you just do your job and you won't
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: be judged on it for a month and a half. Well,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that doesn't seem right, but that's what they do in baseball.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: That's what they do in baseball. So I bring this
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: up because it doesn't always work that way. And in Boston,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: they're already feeling it a little bit. Roman Anthony, great name,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: big contract, not the greatest of starts for him and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the fans in Boston. We're having none of it. On
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: a Sunday there and Roman and he says he understands
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the grumbling from the Red Sox fan base as the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Red Sox drop to two and seven to start the year.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: There are two and seven, we are nine games in,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and there was rhythmic chanting at Finway, Sell the team,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Sell the team. That chant broke out directed at owner
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: John Henry. Rowan Anthony said, quote, we need to find
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: a way to just bring more energy and just be better,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Anthony told a gaggle of reporters after the Red Sox
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: gagged away a four run lead loss to the Podres
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. Roman Anthony continued, said, quote this is unacceptable.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: It's unacceptable the fans, he said, it's unacceptable to the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: standard that we set for ourselves. Close. Quote all right,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: so that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: discuss the question Roman Anthony calling the Red Sox play
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: unacceptable and the fans calling for owner John Henry to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: sell the team. How are you processing this? If at all.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Are I'm processing it? Are you processing it?
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Okay? All right, Well, well we've got arches, situational awareness,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and gatorade, and we will combine all of these things
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some magnificent, absolutely
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: magnificent smash burgers. That's what we're gonna do, all right. So,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: first of all, Roman Anthony, who I believe is I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: think he's twenty one. I believe I'm right on that.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Right around there, young cat, young cat there batting early
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: on two thirty five. That doesn't seem all that great.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: You're a boomer, you'll care about batting average. His ops
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: isn't very good either. And he's the only person, unless
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I missed it, he's the only person in that Red
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Sox clubhouse with the stones the cojones to call out
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: this unacceptable play. Where's the skipper, Alice Cora? What is
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: he up to? I don't somebody check on him? So
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the guy who hasn't even gotten his squad ready, Because
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: clearly the Red Sox were not ready to begin the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: year the way they're performing, the lifeless, monotonous Red Sox
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: here to start the season. What exactly were they doing
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in the Grapefruit League, where they like spearfishing, like what
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: exactly was going on there? Either way, much like the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: McDonald's Golden Arches, I am loving it. I love the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: angst I do. I enjoy this. I'm loving every second
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of it as a very rocky start for the Red
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Sox season, not as a hater of the Red Sox.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I just enjoyed the theater. I like when people are uncomfortable.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: It's good for what I do. The whole thing just
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: appears out a whack for the Red Sox. It's just
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: clunky to begin the season. And I love that we're
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: nine games in and fans are rhythmically chanting for a change.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And it would appear that John Henry, the owner there,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that that ownership group they had this great desire to win.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: They won a bunch and now they're like, we're good.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: That's what it looks like from the outside. They've lost
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: their edge. They're not going for it. They're happy just
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: being a faux contender. And he's sitting on his yacht
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: there and living large and all that and looking at
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: all the nice trophies they won back in the day,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and the last one was about ten years ago, close
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to it was it twenty eighteen against the Doyers. It's
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six now, so it's close to ten and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: he's satisfied. And Roman Anthony though that quote when he
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: talks about the Red Sox coming out there and not
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: having enough energy, Well that's isn't that on the manager?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Like the team's just lifeless and you got to get
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the team ready to go as well. It's a long
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: season and all that stuff. Okay, it is a long season.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: They play like that. It's gonna be a lot longer
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of a season when you play like that, and they'll
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: figure some stuff out at some point here and they'll
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: they'll play better. But they I do have them in
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: that faux contender category. They don't appear to have nearly
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: enough to go on this magic carpet ride in October.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: They're lacking the firepower and they just, for some reason
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: just gave away Rafael Devers. I have no problem trading
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Rafael Devers. Can't you get at least something in return
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that's any good, Like you just gave him, like a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: donation to good will. You just gave him to the Giants,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: who also suck. By the way, they're terrible. Is it
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the common denominator Rafael Devers. Meanwhile, second we stay at Fenway.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: The play of the day this week in baseball Play
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the day. So this video, I don't saw it or
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: heard about it. Manny Machado. That's a baseball player, well
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: paid baseball player for the Podres, Manny Machado, who appeared
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to deliberately kick a ball away. It was he was
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: at first past, he was running. He was an offensive player,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: so he was on the bases at first base. There
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: was a pickoff attempt by the Red Sox catcher Carlos
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Navarre of Navarrees, and he threw the ball down. It
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: was a tag play. It was gonna be a tag
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: play at first base. Machado's coming back to the bag.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: The first basement's coming up behind Machado. The throat comes
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: up and Machado kicks it. Now, he just kicks the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: ball like he's a soccer player trying to play in
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the World Cup. Kicks it away there and this thing
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: went viral. The kickball. It sent the baseball into foul territory.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: So the ball is rolling off in foul territory and
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: advanced Machado and the other Padre's runner who both scored
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and that helped the Padres come back and they eventually
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: won that game. And there's a lot of I can't
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: believe Machado did nutty so dirty dirt Nord and know
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: many Machada all right, So question, does this count as
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: another check mark on the big board, Not unless Terry
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: in England the big board of dirty play by Pidre's
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: star Manny Machado. Does this count? So I am shaking
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: my head. No, I'm gonna shake my head no on this.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I go on a case by case basis. Manny Machado
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: is usually and I went back, I checked my notes,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: and we've talked about him a lot. Played for the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Dodgers briefly years ago, but many mitcha. I think he
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: played against the Red Sox in that World series, the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen World Series. Anyway, Manny Machado is normally the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: chief architect of the malar monologue for all the wrong reasons.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Did you hear what Manny Machado? Did you know? That
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: kind of thing? That's the tone now. We've called him
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a loafer in the past when he was in Baltimore,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a villain, a guy who plays the game often with
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the urgency of a sloth on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: It's just lazy Sunday afternoon and all that. However, on
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: this one, again we go case by case. On this one,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna defend Manny Machada. I'm just calling it
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: like I see it on this one. So looking at
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: this particular play, on this play, I believe Machado on
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: this one, he was a baseball mensa. He was quick reaction.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Everyone's crying, dirty, dirty, dirty. That's your default position. That's
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the default setting on Machado, and I get it. I'm right.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I'm usually right there with you. I'm going against the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: orthodoxy on this one, I am. But you look at it,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and Machado, that was a smart play. People crying, you
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: know that you don't understand the art of gamesmanship. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: that's what that was. In real time. Machado saw a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: throw that was so ugly. How ugly was it? It
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: was so ugly that it belonged in a museum for failures,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and he capitalized on it. All right. That is called
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: situational awareness. That's what you want. Machado had good situational awareness.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: He used a little sleight of hand hocus pocus, just
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: like that, and he did it. And Machado, you want
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to put the defense on their heels. You want to
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: make them make plays, right, that's to make them make
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: plays because a lot of these guys, you know, they're gifted,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and they made the major leagues. They'll screw it up,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: they'll lef it up. So Machado put the Red Sox
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: defense into a blender and hit the pulse button on
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the blender and it worked. He knew exactly where the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: line was and danced on it like a tightrope walker.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: So it's not dirty. Machado has done dirty. Asked Dustin
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Pedroia about that. He's done dirty. He plays on the edges.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: He's on the spectrum Machado all the time. And with
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the umpires, this is more on the umpires than it
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: is on Manny Machado. All right, Now, Machado turned a
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: lemon and added he took a lemon and he squeezed
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: it and he added some sugar and he got lemonade
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: for the padres. And so that's on the umpires. It
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: is technically an illegal play. It's a judgment play. Though
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the umpires had in their judgment they decided it wasn't
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: a dirty it was just a bad pro and so
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Machado was able to continue on and he would have
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: been out if that had happened the other way. So
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: for once, Manny Machado was not the arsonist in this
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and he was the smartest guy in the ballpark on
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: that play. On that play, all right, Meanwhile, final fo
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: to Anaheim. We go. Yeah, it's gonna take a hell
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of a lot for us to talk about an Angel
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Mariner game, But that happened so over the weekend. I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: happened to flip this game on at the perfect time.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: So the final four, let's be honest here, it was
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: not the most exciting final four we've ever had. It
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: was a bunch of crap games. L la, la la.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: But we have the championship game, and ight we'll talk
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: more about that next hour. So anyway, the basely, I
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: flipped over to the baseball game because that was the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: only thing going on really that night. The other baseball
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: games weren't competitive. This was a one nothing game. It
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: was getting late in the game, and I flipped over
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: to our former Fox Sports radio colleague here Gooby. Mark
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Goob is all longtime Angel broadcaster, but he worked here
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: back in the day and we Randazzo. I think, is
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: he going back to the Mets. I don't have rumors.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I guess Howie Rose is retiring the Mets broadcast. There's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: some rumors he might go back to the Mets, but
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: who knows Smith that's just bull crap. Anyway, So I'm
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: watching this thing and I'm like, whatever, I'm not really
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: into it. It's kind of on, you know. As I
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: had a buddy over. We were contemplating life and talking
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: about life and things like that, and the game was
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: on and they showed Joe Adele go up and make
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a couple of catches. And I didn't see this live.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: The two the first two and then the third one happened.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I saw it on my boob tube. I was like, wow, dude,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and now I've seen I used to cover the Angels.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I've seen players jump over the fence to try to
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: catch home runs. But that was magical.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Jo Adell was the talk of baseball for the web
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: gems over the weekend, taking away not one, not two,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: but three home runs. So the question, did Angels outfielder
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Joe Adell just author the greatest defensive game in baseball history.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: So normally, normally he much like with Manny Machado, my
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: position has been, you know, i'd say, pump the brakes,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: don't be a prisoner of the moment. What are you doing?
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: That's my normal position. Those are my default settings. And
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: on this one, though not today, I don't know how
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you could argue any other way. So this is a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: major plot twist. Three are you kidding me? Three home
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: one robberies in one game, not one, not two, but
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: three by the same player. Is out there Joe Adell
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: drinking the radioactive gatorade that helped him develop supernatural abilities. Now,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the first two I think I could have done. The
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: last one I could not have done. On the three
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: home run takeaways, it was wild. He turned into a
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: human fly swatter, snatching ding dongs out of the sky
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: in Anaheim. He was working the night shift at a
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: mosquito convention. He was out there doing it and cal
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: roll off to a miserable start. He had a home
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: run taken away Josh Naylor and the last one the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: JP Crawford that would have been a home run that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: was in that short corner, short fence corner in right
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: field in Anaheim, Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Now it's the greatest single defensive game performance in baseball history.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: True regular season, I am nodding yes. Regular season, I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: am nodding yes. However, while you cannot debate that, it
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: will not stay in the memory bank because of the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: fact it was a regular season game on a Saturday
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: night late against the Mariners, and so that does not
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: stand the test of time. It's one of those things.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when Joe Adell did it. I didn't
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: see it, but I saw the clips on the internet,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and so that kind of counts and all that. As like,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: none of us saw Willie Mays with that catch. I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: think it was in the nineteen fifty four World Series.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: But if if you're a baseball fan, you've heard about it, right,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: You've seen the clip online, the grainy black and white
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: film there in New York where he runs back and
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: he's not even looking and he catches the over catches
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: it over his head and all that stuff. Or I
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: would argue in Angels, Angels have had one thing they
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: had a lot of is really good defensive players. When
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I when I was a kid, they had a guy
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: named Gary Pettis, it was really good. And then when
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I was covering the team, they had a guy named
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Von White who was awesome and Jim Edmonds, who for
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: me was the greatest defensive center fielder I ever saw,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: was Jim Edmonds. No matter what kind of goodies he
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: was taking, he was very good. And he continued that
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: with the Cardinals when he went to Saint Louis and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: so and there's been plenty of Ken Griffy Junior leaping
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: or Bo Jackson with the bazooka, and go on and
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: on of Vladimir Guerrero chucking the ball back in the day,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: so different zip codes. It's regular season, it's a random
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: night early in the season. But hey, you look at that,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: and someone's going to have to take away four home
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: runs in a game for that to have tip to
• 33:03
