They're going to have a ton of money to spend.
0:01
Why not put it in one of the top three offensive players in the
0:05
league? We're going to be looking at
0:14
Aaron Judge and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
0:17
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:20
You don't see the fun doing that a game.
0:22
Where you got to go? Before I told you, Giant fans,
0:26
Saquon Barkley, You're listening to Jabba and
1:28
the Mouth Mouth 6. 316-7231 O 8 is the number to call.
1:37
You're listening to Jabba and the mouth.
1:42
You know who I am. They call me the mouth.
1:44
My name is Errol Marx, my Co host Speedy Petey, executive
1:49

2:13
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. If everybody wants to know what
2:18
happened tonight, it's very simple.
2:21
We, me and Speedy went over there to 495 Elite.
2:24
The combine. We got a chance to meet some of
2:26
the kids, some of the coaches here in Long Island, New York.
2:29
As we're working on the Long Island mouth, what is a which,
2:34
which is going to be built as a youth and high school
2:37
programming, which we're going to go out there and promote Long
2:41
Island sports here in Suffolk, in Nassau County.
2:44
We're going to be working with all the kids, all the coaches,
2:47
all the parents, building opportunity for NIL deals for
2:50
these kids and possibly full college scholarships.
2:54
So that's what we're doing. So we were out there tonight and
2:58
yesterday in the cold, the freezing cold, with our butts
3:02
being frozen, our hands, our feet, getting numbers,
3:06
interacting, kissing babies, doing all that stuff.
3:09
So that's what we were doing. So we started tonight's show at
3:13
6:45 because we were on a football field for the last, I
3:16
would say probably 3 hours. That's what, speedy 3 hours?
3:22
Yeah, just about that. Three hours of time and energy,
3:26
but we had a lot of fun. We can't argue about that.
3:28
And I, I, I want to give a shout out to Ben and Mr. Fallardi for
3:33
working out and, and getting us an opportunity to meet the
3:36
parents, the kids and, and just interacting with people.
3:39
And it was fun. It really was.
3:41
I it's just freezing. This is the time of year when
3:44
you're out on a football field. If you're not moving and you're
3:47
not jumping or running, you're going to be cold.
3:50
And that's what we were. We were just standing.
3:52
Speedy's hands were shivering. He was just absolutely couldn't,
3:55
he couldn't take the weather. So, yeah, it was one of those
3:59
days. It's none of those days.
4:01
Little Limp Bizkit over there. But yeah, so we, we enjoyed our
4:04
time over there. It wasn't raining.
4:06
It wasn't windy, but it was just, it was just right.
4:10
Ladies and gentlemen, Venezuela beat the United States Street at
4:13
2:00 to win their first ever World Baseball Classic title.
4:18
Venezuela got their first run by a sacrifice fly by Mikkel Garcia
4:25
in the third inning, and then Wyler Abreu hit a home run in
4:33
the fifth inning, both off of Nolan McClain.
4:36
Eduardo Rodriguez pitched great for Venezuela, allowed just one
4:42
walk, one hit and zero runs in four and a third innings
4:46
pitched. It was terrible.
4:49
It was a terrible performance by the United States offense who
4:51
didn't have a single at bat with a runner in scoring position the
4:56
entire game. the United States offense only had three hits that
5:00
game that game, two of which were by Bryce Harper, including
5:05
the two run home run that tied the game in the 8th inning.
5:09
Garrett Whitlock came in to the game in the 9th inning and gave
5:13
up the lead walk to Louisa Arise.
5:16
This led to a pitch pinch runner coming in and stealing second,
5:21
which he was out by the way, on a controversial call that the on
5:26
the that was upheld by the umpires after replay review.
5:30
Shortly after that, Suarez was the hero with the RBI double to
5:36
give Venezuela the lead for good.
5:38
The heart of the batting order for the United States, Aaron
5:42
Judge and Kyle Schwarber and Alex Bredman were a combined 0
5:47
for 10 with one walk and six strikeouts.
5:50
And I'll say this for everybody out there that watched this game
5:55
and it's been a problem watching Team USA against elite pitching.
5:59
But this, this team, and I'm not taking shots at Venezuela.
6:03
Venezuela did not have elite pitching.
6:06
Eduardo, Eduardo Rodriguez, he's a good pitcher.
6:10
He's not a great pitcher. He's a Major League pitcher.
6:13
He's more like a relief pitcher than he is a starting pitcher in
6:17
the majors. I know sitting back in, a lot of
6:19
people wondering who the hell is Eduardo Rodriguez?
6:23
But he completely dominated the game, kept them off off balance.
6:28
And and you saw that Aaron Judge has been up and down throughout
6:32
this tournament. He had a couple of home runs.
6:34
Bryce Harper was on and off all tournament.
6:37
Schwarber looked horrible in this game.
6:39
No, but Alex Bregman was horrendous throughout this
6:42
tournament. Nobody can hit the ball, nobody.
6:47
And with an elite lineup as good as Team USA, when you're talking
6:52
about elite players and everybody was calling them the
6:55
Dream team. And I on my on my stories, when
6:59
I was writing my stories, I called them the Redeem team
7:01
because I thought they redeemed themselves after losing Italy,
7:05
losing against Italy, then beating Canada, and then
7:08
eventually beating the Dominican Republic.
7:10
And you heard Juan Soto after the game, he said that we were
7:14
the better team. We showed everybody why we are
7:17
the best team in this tournament, even though they
7:19
lost. And to me, I'm not blaming Nolan
7:24
McLean. It's not his fault.
7:27
It's not his fault. It's not I'm not going to blame
7:31
him because he's a young pitcher and had nothing to do with any
7:35
kind of virus or sickness or whatever they thought he had.
7:40
He wasn't dizzy on the mound. That wasn't the reason why these
7:44
guys were hitting against him in in in the third inning.
7:47
What was it, the third inning? So it wasn't because of that.
7:53
I'm sorry, it was the 5th inning and the third inning, but it
7:55
wasn't because of that. And I, I would say this, if, if
8:00
there was any mistake that this team made was not pitching
8:04
Skeens in the final game, I know everybody's going to say, well,
8:08
if Skeens didn't play or he didn't pitch, both schemes
8:11
didn't pitch against the Dominican Republic, the United
8:15
States don't move on. But I beg to differ.
8:20
Venezuela have been the most hottest team in this tournament.
8:24
They beat Japan and they beat Team USA.
8:27
They were the best team throughout the tournament.
8:32
And again, you look up, up, up on the line of all these rosters
8:36
and, and, and Venezuela did not have the elite roster that they
8:40
were expecting. They had an elite coaching
8:42
staff. Miguel Cabrera was there.
8:45
They had they had guys on the bench that are going to be Hall
8:48
of Farmers, Johann Santana, but they didn't have elite players.
8:58
They had elite names as we were just mentioning one of them, but
9:03
not elite players. Now again, everybody's going to
9:06
attack Team USA. This was their chance to win the
9:09
gold medal and and go on to the season.
9:12
I mean, Aaron Judge might never play in the WBC again.
9:15
He probably won't because three years from now he's 37, going to
9:19
be 38. Does he really want to compete
9:22
when he's at the tail end of his career?
9:23
He's trying to win a World Series with the Yankees.
9:25
Maybe they don't win a World Series.
9:27
So maybe we're going to be talking about at the age of 38,
9:30
him trying to drive the Yankees to a a World Series
9:33
championship. Bryce Harper is at the tail end
9:37
of his career. Schwarber, he is probably not
9:41
going to be or he'll be at the tail end of his career.
9:44
He'll be on the 18th hole of his career by the time the WBC comes
9:49
around again. So we got a chance to see some
9:51
of the young players. We saw Anthony, we saw Paul
9:55
Skeens, Tarek Schuble will still be around when the WBC comes
10:01
around in the next three years. He'll still be in the lead
10:03
pitcher. I'm sure he will be.
10:06
So we got to get, we got a chance to see some of these
10:08
young players. Broxton But you expect Team USA
10:15
to run away with this tournament.
10:17
Everybody expected Team USA to run away with this tournament,
10:20
especially when you watch the Dominican Republic get
10:23
eliminated by them and then Japan getting eliminated by
10:26
Venezuela. Italy put up a bigger fight than
10:33
Team USA did against Venezuela and again, you go back and
10:41
everybody wants to part that, point their fingers when it
10:43
comes to management. Mark DeRosa, this wasn't Mark
10:48
Derosa's fault. Mark DeRosa cannot go up to the
10:51
plate and hit for these guys. He can coach, he can manage.
10:56
Bryce Harper hit a two run home run.
10:58
Could you imagine if Team USA lost two to nothing and got shut
11:03
out by Venezuela? Could you imagine that, how bad
11:09
that would have been? And again, you go back to Team
11:16
USA early in this tournament, they look dominant against
11:19
Brazil. They look dominant against, I
11:22
guess, England. What what do they call that?
11:24
Great Britain, Great Britain, two teams that don't have big
11:29
and, you know, MLB players on it.
11:33
And then they played Team Brazil.
11:35
They barely beat Brazil and then we all know what happened
11:39
against Team Italy and I don't even think Team USA would have
11:44
beaten team Team Italy if Team Italy moved on against
11:47
Venezuela. I don't think so cuz the facts
11:51
here is Team USA had a problem with their lineup.
11:55
All playoff or all WBC line. I call it playoff because it
11:58
wasn't playoff. That's what it was.
12:02
It's kind of scary when you look at a lineup that good and half
12:06
of those guys were in hitting more than 200.
12:09
Half of them think about if you look at Team USA, there were
12:13
more walks for Team USA. Nobody can get get a guy home.
12:18
Nobody can hit him in scoring position.
12:20
They look like the New York Yankees the last couple of
12:23
years. The Yankees have had problems
12:26
for years getting guys home in scoring position and that was
12:31
the same thing that happened with Team USA Baseball.
12:33
They have looked bad in this tournament hitting.
12:36
Their pitching was sensational. Logan look good, schemes look
12:40
good, scuba look good. Everyone at Nolan McClain was up
12:43
and down, but a lot of people said that he was his Obviously
12:47
he was dizzy, whatever the hell they were saying that he had.
12:51
I I don't know what is the truth with Nolan McClain.
12:54
I Nolan McClain did not look bad against Venezuela.
12:59
He didn't he didn't look bad. He just had one really bad
13:04
inning which gave up a single run and again and again they he
13:10
gave up two runs. But those two runs were so very
13:14
important because team Yoazeka net they would get and and that
13:19
was another thing Team USA had a problem getting the first two
13:21
guys on. The first guy would strike out.
13:25
The other guy would hit, hit into a, you know, a ground rule
13:29
single, you know, ground rule, a throw to first base and it was
13:34
going on pop up flies. They couldn't get a guy on base.
13:37
And every time they did get a guy at base, it was 2 outs.
13:43
They had a lot of problems getting those guys into scoring
13:46
position. And then when they were walking,
13:48
they were, they, they just weren't aggressive enough.
13:54
And again, you you want to point your fingers at management,
13:58
maybe, maybe some of those things you can point out Mark
14:01
DeRosa, you had Andy Pettit on a part of that coaching staff.
14:06
These are quality managers, guys that have been successful in the
14:10
majors as players. So you can't point your fingers
14:14
and say that they don't know what they're doing and they
14:16
didn't put these guys in the right position to succeed.
14:18
These guys are superstars. They're the best players on
14:21
their respectable teams in the major leagues.
14:24
Half of these guys are going to be Hall of Famers.
14:27
Bryce Harper is a Hall of Famer. Kyle Schwarber is going to be
14:31
Hall of Famer. Aaron Judge is going to be a
14:33
Hall of Famer. We could go on and on and on.
14:37
Alex Bregman is on his way to be a Hall of Famer.
14:41
All these guys, they couldn't get enough hitting from their
14:47
catchers. That's why they were trying to
14:50
switch catchers. They weren't getting enough
14:52
consistency. You're going to tell me that
14:57
United States didn't have the two best catches in this
14:59
tournament? They did, even though Austin
15:01
Wells probably had the best statistical WBC when it comes to
15:06
all the catchers in all of that tournament.
15:09
He played for the Dominican Republic.
15:10
I don't know if he's Dominican, but he was the catcher.
15:13
He has enough eligibility. He was the catcher of the
15:15
Dominican Republic and he was really, really good throughout
15:18
the tournament. Is that going to tell me that
15:20
he's going to be great with the Yankees this year?
15:22
Who knows? I'll tell you who wasn't good in
15:24
this tournament, Whitlock, who didn't look well.
15:27
He was good throughout the tournament, but he was not good
15:30
in the WBC championship. He looked really, really bad.
15:33
He was throwing the but he was trying to pitch and he was
15:35
trying to get strikes and he couldn't find the strike zone.
15:38
That's why he walked arise and we all know what happened.
15:44
I believe that the pinch runner was kept caught at second base,
15:48
but there was not enough to to return or turn it over or
15:53
whatever. Whatever baseball wants to say
15:56
that he wasn't out. It looked like he nicked his
15:58
knee before he touched second base.
16:00
That's what it looked like, that's what I saw.
16:05
But there was not enough to overturn it.
16:10
And that run cost Team USAAWBC championship.
16:13
But I'm not going to blame it only on that.
16:15
They had a chance and and that was the I thought Derose's
16:20
problem throughout this game is taking Whitlock out of the game
16:25
after he walked that pitch runner.
16:27
I would have taken him out. He didn't have his stuff.
16:29
He didn't look good. And we see pictures like this
16:32
just don't have it. Now.
16:34
Whitlock look good throughout this tournament.
16:36
He's probably one of their better relief pitchers
16:39
throughout this tournament. But in a big game like that and
16:42
and again, he's he's he was in a Yankee, but he's been a red
16:47
sock. And and I said this in my story
16:49
that I posted up on the worldwide sports Radio network.
16:53
The game ended on 2 spread socks Whitlock, who gave up the run
16:59
and Anthony, who struck out two Red Sox.
17:05
And by the way, for all the Jet guys, and I say this because I,
17:12
I, I say this because there's one guy who claims he's a Jet
17:17
fan and he's a Met fan who reached out to me after the game
17:22
and told me about Aaron Judge. And I said to him and Jeff, you
17:25
know what I'm talking about, He said, look your captain.
17:29
Look at the captain. He couldn't hit a lick.
17:31
And I said, what did Anthony do? What did Whitlock do?
17:35
And he got defensive and, and all of a sudden he said, I'm a
17:38
Met fan. So who cares?
17:42
Facts are facts, guys. Anybody watching the game could
17:46
understand how baseball is won. It's won by offense.
17:50
Everybody says it's won by pitching, but you got to score.
17:54
As good as the pitching was, it wasn't again Nolan Mclean's
17:57
fault. He gave up two runs for a team
18:02
that dominant team with a great line up, as good as Team USA
18:07
against Venezuela, against Eduardo Rodriguez.
18:12
This isn't a guy like a screwball or this isn't Felix
18:17
Hernandez. This isn't one of those pitchers
18:20
that completely shut you down. They have a good bullpen, but
18:24
their bullpen is the one that gave up that 2 two run home run
18:27
against Bryce Harper. So as good as everybody says,
18:31
well, look how good their bullpen was.
18:33
The the, the WBC has shown that throughout the tournament that
18:37
all these teams have good ball pens.
18:42
What happened was is Team USA, for some reason in the game they
18:47
needed to show up most offensively.
18:50
I think they laid up a lousy goose egg.
18:54
They thought they were going to run away with the championship.
18:56
They thought they were that much better than Venezuela.
19:02
And Venezuela throughout this tournament was as good as
19:05
anybody, as good as anybody. They shocked Japan, they shocked
19:13
Italy, and they shocked the United States.
19:18
They went through the three, arguably the three best teams
19:22
outside of the Dominican Republic in this tournament.
19:25
And they made it look easy. They made it look really easy.
19:29
Japan had a 5 nothing lead, if I'm not mistaken.
19:32
They were up I think 5, five runs or five to one.
19:37
And Venezuela came back with knocking here, knocking a run
19:42
in, rocking, knocking in another run, hitting a home run here.
19:45
They they narrowed it down and eventually they took the lead
19:49
and just ran away against Japan because Japan couldn't hit
19:51
against their relief pitching. Same thing that happened a
19:55
Little Italy. Venezuela got an early lead and
20:01
they made Italy chase. No, actually I think Italy
20:06
scored the. First Italy scored first, I
20:08
think Venezuela. Scored the first run in after
20:10
that, then Venezuela got two runs and then Italy couldn't
20:13
catch up. United States throughout this
20:18
tournament, it's except against Brazil and the the Great Britain
20:22
team, they've had problems scoring runs.
20:26
They got an early lead against Brazil, but after that Italy
20:29
scored eight runs before they got six runs against that
20:32
offense. I mean that defence and then
20:35
against the Dominican Republic, they were down by one, they were
20:38
down 1. Nothing.
20:40
They gave him I, I think it was an early home run and then they
20:43
came back. Paul Skeens pitched on absolute
20:47
dominant performance. And if they were so worried
20:51
about Venezuela, which I don't think Team USA was, they should
20:55
have saved Logan or Pete. Paul Skeens.
20:59
And what really hurt him is that Scuba was called back to Detroit
21:03
because Scuba would have been pitching in the WBC championship
21:07
game. Are you going to point your
21:10
fingers and blame Scubble, Tarek Scubble to go home?
21:13
No, because Tarek Scubble is playing for a big time contract.
21:16
He wants that $500 million contract.
21:18
It's probably going to be his last of his career.
21:22
And this is a guy that has Tommy John surgery.
21:28
The fact here is team USC needs to play better and I don't know
21:34
if Mark DeRosa is going to come back.
21:36
I don't know if he gets a management job with a Major
21:39
League team and I I believe he deserves 1 so does so does the
21:44
Venezuela coach. He might get a a coaching job, a
21:46
management job very soon in the major leagues do after what he
21:49
did in this tournament. Early, He was close with the
21:51
Astros, and they went in a different direction.
21:55
He might get a shot too. But I'm going to tell you this
22:00
right now. You're not going to see Aaron
22:02
Judge on this roster in three years.
22:04
There's no way. Bryce Harper, no way.
22:07
Kyle Schwarber, no way. Alex Bregman, maybe, maybe on
22:14
this roster. But I think in three years
22:16
they're going to be better players and Alex Bregman, we're
22:21
going to see a completely different team.
22:23
You'll see Paul Skeens, he'll be their number one guy.
22:26
He'll be the ace. You'll see Nolan McLean again
22:30
because he's a great young pitcher for the New York Mets.
22:35
But most of these guys, everybody keeps blaming that
22:37
Pete Alonso wasn't in this line up.
22:39
I don't think Pete Alonso would have made a difference.
22:42
I don't. Everybody's complaining.
22:46
We'll look at look at what they were playing at first base.
22:48
Bryce Harper's bad consolation price.
22:50
Come on. I don't think he's a bad
22:52
consolation price. As a matter of fact, I thought
22:54
Bryce Harper defensively played very well in this tournament,
22:57
very well, and he's much better than Pete Alonso is at first
23:01
base. Power wise, probably not, not
23:06
anymore. But again, you look at this
23:10
roster, Pete Alonso and no Pete Alonso, this roster is as good
23:14
as any roster in this tournament.
23:17
Look at Puerto Rico, because of the insurance situation, a lot
23:20
of these guys didn't play Venezuela.
23:22
There was like 5 or 6 guys that couldn't play in this tournament
23:25
because they couldn't afford the insurance.
23:28
There was no excuse for Team USA, none, because all of those
23:32
guys can play, pay for insurance.
23:34
Every single one of them, every single one of those USA players
23:38
paid for insurance. They're all making over $100
23:43
million practically, except maybe two or three of the
23:45
younger guys. Paul Skeens isn't some of the
23:50
younger guys, Nolan McLean, the pitchers, but most of those guys
23:54
are making top pay. Alex Bragme just got a new
23:57
contract. We know what Aaron Judge just
24:00
got two years ago, three years ago from the Yankees, Bryce
24:02
Harper, Kyle Schwarber just got an extension by the Phillies.
24:08
These guys are getting paid a massive amount of money.
24:11
Guys like Tarek Scubble. I, I'm, I want my cash.
24:15
You heard what Bellinger said. They asked Bellinger to play for
24:19
Team USA, to play first base for Team USA Baseball.
24:22
And after he got his $160 million contract from the
24:25
Yankees, he said no way. He said no way.
24:29
Why? Because the Yankees are paying
24:31
me to win championships. Not WBC championships, World
24:37
Series championships. That's why I'm making the money.
24:40
Now, I'm not saying that Aaron Judge was wrong for playing in
24:42
this tournament. He always wanted to play for
24:44
Team USA. Mark DeRosa made him the
24:46
captain. He was the superstar player on
24:48
that team, but he didn't play well.
24:54
And usually this is the time that Aaron Judge needs to get
24:57
his timing. Spring training is the best time
24:59
for him to get his swing back. And now you're playing against
25:02
better pitching. Now, I'm not saying Eduardo
25:05
Rodriguez is a great pitcher, but he's a Major League pitcher.
25:08
When you're playing in spring training, you're playing against
25:12
rookies, AAA pitchers, AA pitchers.
25:15
Yeah, you'll see a starting pitcher for like 1 or 1 1/2
25:19
innings, but you're not going to see him for a significant amount
25:21
of time like you saw Eduardo Rodriguez, who has been a Major
25:25
League pitcher for, what, seven years?
25:30
All these guys did not show up in a tournament that they should
25:34
have ran away with, as we heard AJ Pierzynski call him the Dream
25:38
team. This was not the dream team.
25:41
If you remember the Dream team with Michael Jordan, Charles
25:44
Barkley and all those players, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, David
25:48
Robertson, Patrick Ewing, all those guys, they won by more
25:53
than 50 points in every one of those games they dominated.
25:59
The only time they didn't dominate it was when they played
26:01
against each other at practice. That's when Michael Jordan took
26:06
over. There is nobody on this team,
26:12
nobody on this team that played like a Michael Jordan, like the
26:17
superstar player when you needed a bucket or you needed a home
26:21
run. Now Bryce Harper, he hit finally
26:24
hit a home run in the tournament.
26:25
He has been really, really bad throughout the tournament.
26:29
Bryce Harper couldn't hit a lick in the first three games.
26:32
It gets really bad pitching. Brazil, they had a 17 year old
26:39
who's in is in high school, couldn't.
26:42
I'm not saying I don't think he was up against him, but he
26:44
couldn't hit against sub tier pitchers.
26:48
The guys that were AA pitchers, Great Britain, he couldn't hit
26:53
against them either. He walked a couple of times.
26:55
I think he got a single in that game.
27:01
You, you, you're a superstar player, you're a name, you're a
27:04
Hall of Famer, and you don't show up in the game when the
27:07
game means something. And then the watch Soda coming
27:13
out and opening his big fat mouth after the fact.
27:16
They lost against Team USA that the better team lost.
27:19
Really. You didn't hit a lick either.
27:22
They didn't hit a lick against Team USA pitching.
27:25
And it's not Team USA baseball's pitching that lost them this
27:30
tournament. It wasn't them.
27:32
And now you know what I would have done when they gave me the
27:34
Civil medal? I would have gave it back.
27:36
I would have gave it back. I would have never taken it.
27:42
That's a player that demands the respect of my peers, knowing
27:49
that I am a United States baseball player.
27:52
I'm the best of the best. This is where baseball was
27:56
created. I'm considered the best player
28:00
and I could go through that line up and through that roster.
28:04
Every one of those players are their bet, their team's best
28:08
player. Every one of them.
28:11
You go through that roster, I mean, you have two players from
28:14
the same Rod, same team, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, but
28:17
they're the two best players on Philadelphia besides Zach
28:20
Wheeler. They're the two best players.
28:26
Alex Bregman, right now, he goes to Chicago.
28:30
He you could argue he's the best player on that team.
28:32
Now, everyone, Pete Crow Armstrong, who's playing with
28:39
Alex Bregman, he's a young stud. He was up and down in this
28:45
tournament when he was playing out in the outfield.
28:46
Broxton was up and down in this tournament when they brought him
28:50
in. None of these guys can hit.
28:54
They could walk, but that nobody can hit anybody in scoring
28:57
position. It was embarrassing.
29:00
It really was. And I'm going to tell you this,
29:02
if you're if you're a baseball fan, that probably was one of
29:08
the worst losses we've seen in competition with a team that
29:13
talented in the last 25 years. It was as bad as Team USA
29:18
Basketball losing when before the redeemed team four years
29:22
later took over with Kobe Bryant, when you had Stefan
29:24
Marbury, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan on that
29:28
roster, Allen Iverson, all those players, they they won a bronze
29:34
medal that year in the Olympics that was as bad as that.
29:39
And they won a silver. It wasn't a bronze, it was a
29:41
silver because to me, you had a chance.
29:44
You beat the Dominican Republic. You didn't have to play Japan.
29:47
You were pretty mad pretty much skiing right to the end of the
29:50
slope. There was no way you should have
29:53
lost against Venezuela. But they go out there and play
29:56
baseball like they're champions. And that's all I could say about
30:01
Venezuela. They were very well managed.
30:03
They have a bunch of great, super great studs as coaches.
30:07
Think about it. Miguel Cabrera is probably the
30:09
best right-handed hitter in Major League history.
30:12
He's the last guy to win a Triple Crown.
30:14
Johan Santana, Now I don't believe he had that no hitter
30:17
for the Mets. No, he didn't.
30:19
Carlos Beltran definitely got that hit.
30:21
But Johan Santana is a whole of Famer.
30:24
He is one of the greatest change UPS in Major League history.
30:27
It was unhittable when he played for the Twins.
30:29
Unhittable. These guys are studs.
30:32
They were great players for their respectable teams when
30:36
they're in the majors. So it wasn't like Venezuela
30:39
didn't have the right coaches and management.
30:42
As a matter of fact, I thought they had better management than
30:45
Team USA. Not Mark DeRosa, and I'm not
30:48
saying Andy Pettit, but the guys, they hit coaches over
30:50
there. Who's the coach for Team USAI?
30:53
Don't even know it was embarrassing and I'm not going
31:00
to blame Mark DeRosa because Mark DeRosa, his job is to get
31:04
these guys to play and play hard.
31:06
That was Matt Holiday and Sean Casey.
31:08
I rest my case. Matt, Holly, Sean.
31:09
Casey, who was a Yankee hitting coach for a while.
31:12
Sean Casey. We never had Sean Casey on the
31:14
show, did we? No, we had a lot of other
31:17
excigers, but no, never him. Sean Casey, who was an OK hitter
31:22
in the majors, Yeah. I think he played for
31:24
Cincinnati, too. Cincinnati later.
31:26
Yeah. I'm just, it's it's embarrassing
31:31
now. What do these players have to do
31:34
now going into a season where it could be a strike here?
31:38
This was their chance to win a championship.
31:40
Aaron Judge might never win a championship again, might never
31:44
win a championship with the the Yankees.
31:47
This was his chance to run away with a championship.
31:49
Didn't have to go through Japan. It was smooth sailing after they
31:54
beat Dominican Republic. I think that the United States
31:59
play lackadaisical. They thought they were going to
32:01
go into this game and completely demolish Venezuela because
32:05
Venezuela got lucky against Japan and Italy.
32:09
We're better than them. Our rosters are better, our
32:11
pitching staff is better, our bullpen is better.
32:16
And they were so wrong, absolutely so wrong and got
32:19
embarrassed in front of National national television televised
32:23
game, national people. There was over a billion people
32:26
watching that game, a billion people watching that game around
32:29
the world to be embarrassed. The way they did not hit until
32:33
the they they didn't get a run until the 8th inning, the 8th
32:37
inning and they had they had last slicks.
32:40
They won a coin toss before the game.
32:43
Yeah, it's embarrassing when you look at the level of hitting and
32:46
just the approach, never being there.
32:48
And you're right, maybe they just took their talents for
32:51
granted and tried to just win that way.
32:52
And with their offense not being that great in the knockout
32:56
round, you would think you they would adjust more.
32:58
Like even against Canada, they scored five runs, but it wasn't
33:01
like it was this consistent onslaught of a team of in
33:04
Canada, they have a lot more talent than two.
33:07
And when they're playing against the Dominican Republic, they
33:09
finally got something going on the pitching side against that
33:12
offense and they only scored two runs.
33:15
They ended up winning and thanks to Aaron, Judges defense and a
33:18
bunch of other things going in. But it still is not an ideal
33:21
circumstance the way they did it.
33:22
And now you look at a team like Venezuela who's already playing
33:25
with a lot of good adversity as it is between the insurance
33:27
things that are going on. Fish was staying in the comments
33:30
section. Jose Altuve wasn't playing.
33:31
I'm sure he would have been one of their better players, you
33:33
would think. But you got a lot of scrapheap
33:36
veterans on the top end of that line of obviously Suarez is a
33:38
great power hitter. But like, that's a team that's
33:41
not really as top heavy as you would think.
33:43
And you look at something like the Venezuela starting pitching
33:47
staff, it's not great. And Eduardo Rodriguez had to be
33:50
an unsung here. Now, their bullpen was very
33:52
good. Errol, you mentioned it.
33:53
Andres Machado was like the non major leaguer that pitched in
33:56
the 8th inning and he pitched well, but like he pitched well
33:59
up until that game. But the rest of those times you
34:01
got to Kansas City guys, you got plenty in the 9th inning is a
34:04
very good reliever for the Cubs, but you still have to get a lead
34:07
to get to that point. How does the US avoid that?
34:09
Oh, let's hit Eduardo Rodriguez, who hasn't really had a great
34:11
season since he was with the Red Sox probably in 2021 or
34:14
something. Like it's been a while for him
34:16
and you couldn't even hit that guy.
34:18
That doesn't look good. And you're right, the pitching
34:19
did enough. I think Mark DeRosa did OK, not
34:21
amazing but well enough to win and Garrett Whitlock just blew
34:26
it at that point. And I agree with you, that call
34:27
should have been an out call it at second base.
34:29
But again, maybe Suarez could drive him in from first anyway.
34:32
You know a guy that walks. You never know at that point
34:34
because Whitlock did not have it.
34:36
All right, we have a first call of the night and I knew he was
34:38
going to call Jeff. What's up, man?
34:42
Earl, you're hilarious, bro. You're honestly hilarious.
34:45
Why? What's going on?
34:47
You're blaming Roman Anthony for this?
34:50
I didn't blame Roman Anthony, I didn't blame him, but I said he
34:54
was the last one to strike out. Right.
34:56
OK, someone has to make the last out.
34:58
Got it. Do you realize Roman Anthony
35:00
batted 280 with two home runs? What a judge bat through 22 with
35:04
two home runs? And Roman Anthony was a
35:07
replacement player. He wasn't even selected for the
35:09
roster he replaced. Corbin Carroll.
35:12
A replacement player was better than the captain of Team USA.
35:17
How embarrassing. So we're going to sit here and
35:21
the first thing you're going to attack me with is because I
35:24
attacked a Red Sox, who, by the way, is not your team anymore.
35:28
You, you said you're a Met fan, did you not?
35:30
That's correct. That's correct.
35:31
You're a Met fan. So you're sticking up for a Red
35:33
Sox now because you hate those people because they're mean and
35:37
disrespectful and racist. Remember you said.
35:40
No, no, no, no, you called them racist, but we did beat them in
35:44
80. 6 Did you not call them racist?
35:46
Oh yeah, did you not call them? Racist, but this is.
35:48
But this is the problem. Deflecting a replacement player
35:52
played better than the captain of Team USA.
35:55
That is a When can we start to have the conversation that Aaron
35:59
Judge is nothing more than Dan Marino was Dan Marino a Was Dan
36:04
Marino a great player? Dan Marino was the hell is Aaron
36:07
Judge a great player? Aaron Judge is going to be a
36:09
Hall of Famer, but they can't win.
36:12
They fold like cheap lawn chairs when the lights when the lights
36:16
are on. OK, so we're going to point our
36:19
fingers and we're going to blame Aaron Judge for this.
36:21
Let's look at the statistics. Here Captain Who's the captain
36:24
of? Stop Captain USA.
36:25
So who cares? Andrews Lee is the captain for
36:28
the New York Islanders. He.
36:29
Is he the best player on the team?
36:31
Is he? No, no, no, no, no.
36:33
That would be Michael Nisa. Didn't we get him?
36:36
Here it is. You're an idiot.
36:38
What I'm saying here is you're telling me the captain of the
36:41
team has to be the best player. That's not true if we look at
36:44
the statistics. Our captain.
36:46
Our captain should show leadership, which he did not.
36:49
Oh really? What?
36:50
What do you have to show to show leadership?
36:52
Please explain. I don't know, how about that
36:54
above your body weight? First of all, this is a spring
36:58
training game. That's what it is.
37:00
And. Our judge spring training game
37:02
so our judge does not striking out to end the so Roman Anthony
37:05
to strike out to end the game shouldn't matter but was your
37:07
big shot though the replacement player struck out but the
37:11
captain can't bad bad his body weight so of all is forgiven.
37:16
So we're going to sit here right now and we're going to make a
37:18
complaint and we're going to complain that the fingers are
37:21
going to be pointed at Aaron Judge on the reason why.
37:24
Let's let's look at the let's look.
37:26
All right, Pete Crow Armstrong hitting 263.
37:30
Bryce Harper hitting 214. Hold on.
37:32
Alex Bregman hitting 143. Let's go.
37:36
Let's go. On and on and on.
37:37
Let's go over. Here it wasn't a starter.
37:39
Those guys didn't start regularly.
37:41
Of the regular starters, Aaron Judge had the second lowest
37:44
batting average, only ahead of Bryce Harper.
37:47
That's it. Bobby Witt, who's one of the
37:49
best hitters in baseball, hit 250.
37:52
Still more than Judge. Still more than.
37:54
Judge so so now we're pointing our finger at Aaron Judge
37:58
because. You don't like every guy.
38:00
No, no. Every guy that you're trying to
38:02
point to still play better than the captain, and you're laughing
38:08
because you're trying to avoid that.
38:10
No, I'm not, because here's another fact.
38:12
Game five of the World Series, who dropped the ball in center
38:15
field? Yankees were running away with
38:17
that game. Garrett Cole was cruising.
38:19
Who dropped the ball? They were, they were.
38:22
They were down 3 to one. They were winning that series.
38:26
That they win that game, it's anyone.
38:27
Stop. Stop.
38:28
They were never coming back. They were.
38:30
Never coming back from the Red Sox, Who came down 3 nothings.
38:33
Yankees. But yeah, Yankees that was, that
38:36
was the ALCS, and they were very, very lucky.
38:39
A lot of things just fell their way.
38:41
A lot of things fell their way. But maybe if Aaron Judge could
38:44
catch a lazy fly ball, you guys could have gotten.
38:46
Lucky. So that's that's your tick has.
38:50
Aaron Judge ever won anything? Has he won anything?
38:54
Jeff that that to me, that's not my argument.
38:57
Half of these guys never won anything besides the cheaters
39:00
and. Alex Redmond, but earlier.
39:02
Roman Anthony ever won anything. Pete Crow Armstrong didn't win
39:05
anything. Never going to win anything.
39:08
Bryce Schwarber's never won anything.
39:09
Kyle Schwarber's never won anything.
39:11
Let's go on every single one of these players but Bradley who
39:15
cheated. Right.
39:15
But the guy, but the guy that you brought up that you wanted
39:18
to blame, could you somehow think you're junk working on me
39:20
is someone I'm not even sure qualified as a rookie last year
39:24
in Major League Baseball. Robin Anthony might be his
39:28
rookie year, might be this year. I'm not sure he got enough at
39:30
bats last year to even be qualified as a rookie.
39:33
And somehow that bomb outplayed the captain of Team USA, the
39:38
great Aaron Judge. Oh, so so that's what.
39:40
We're going to go at we're going to have a young kid because he
39:43
hit 280 and he had a couple of hits.
39:46
You're going to say he's better than Aaron Judge?
39:48
How does that make sense? Who?
39:49
Who batted 280 and then who batted 222 and then who's?
39:53
Who was the MVP of baseball last year?
39:56
Who's been the MVP of baseball in six?
39:59
No, he wasn't in the National League, not in the American
40:01
League, And Sheryl Donny had no challengers.
40:05
Nobody in the National League really challenged.
40:07
Right. He has no peers, not even Aaron
40:09
Judge. Yeah, OK.
40:10
Aaron Judge had better numbers than Sheryl Donny did.
40:13
So now you want to go to the numbers.
40:14
So now do the numbers game with Roman Anthony and Iron Judge do
40:17
the numbers game now who got a 280?
40:19
Who got a 222? You're.
40:22
An idiot you really are. No, I'm not an idiot.
40:24
I'm just when you try to make a point, you go, let's go look at
40:28
the numbers and then when the numbers go, then when the
40:30
numbers don't go in your favor, you start yelling about
40:32
something else. Roman Anthony might not even
40:35
qualify as a rookie last year, and he was a.
40:37
Scab. He was a scab.
40:40
He's a scab. He's a replacement, Yeah.
40:42
He's a cab player who struck out at the final out.
40:45
Is it is it true that he was a replacement player?
40:48
Is it true that he was a replacement?
40:49
Player. Who cares if he was Jeff?
40:51
What is that argument? How are we arguing?
40:54
This. It doesn't matter.
40:55
He was a part of the roster. He's one of the best players at
40:58
his position in the league. He is.
41:01
He's a young son. He is.
41:03
He's the best. He just got a big contract from
41:05
the Red Sox, did he not? Yeah.
41:07
Yeah. He they gave him an extension,
41:09
did they not? They did.
41:11
No, they did extend him. Yes, they did.
41:12
Oh, OK, so he must be a good player.
41:16
He must be a good one, dude. They gave Christian Campbell an
41:19
extension, he's in AAA. Jeff, you're going to sit here
41:24
and try to go back with Christian?
41:26
You're talking about extensions and how that means you're
41:28
talking about extensions, Yes, It means a lot.
41:31
Yes. And you're going to tell me that
41:33
Roman Anthony's a better player than Aaron Jones?
41:35
Is that what you're saying? Is that what you're telling me?
41:38
No, what I'm telling you, and I'm not saying that, I'm saying
41:41
that he outperformed the captain of the Team USA because the
41:46
captain when the. It is spring training.
41:48
It's a spring training game. That's what it's no, it doesn't
41:53
matter. No, because our a judge, our a
41:56
judge last year at spring training, what was he batting?
41:58
I, I don't even have the numbers, but he wasn't batting
42:00
300. He was not hitting the ball in
42:02
spring training. It takes Aaron.
42:05
It takes Aaron Judge time. He was.
42:07
To get his time was. Tied for the Aaron Judge was
42:10
tied for the 110th best batting average in the World Baseball
42:13
Classic. OK, it's a spring training game.
42:17
If it was in the middle of the. Season.
42:18
Now it doesn't matter because it's spring training.
42:20
That's what it was. Any which way you can try to
42:22
wiggle out of say, an Aaron Judge just folds when the lights
42:26
are on is hilarious. Really.
42:28
Because he was. He was the best hitter in
42:29
baseball last year in the playoffs besides Guerrero.
42:32
He was as good as anybody in baseball last year in the
42:35
playoffs. As a matter of fact, he had
42:36
better numbers than Guerrero did throughout the playoffs.
42:39
And he was. And he was terrible in when they
42:42
lost to the Mariners, wasn't he? The Mariners, they lost against
42:45
the Blue Jays. Oh, the Blue Jays.
42:47
I'm sorry. That's my fault.
42:48
I said. I said Mariners and I meant Blue
42:51
Jays. I'm sorry.
42:52
That's see how it someone can make a mistake and say that they
42:56
were wrong. Credit to me for being in the
42:57
bigger. Person.
42:58
Oh, so that's where we're going now, giving you credit.
43:01
Give good old Jeff a little credit.
43:03
Well, but, but, but every time you try to make an argument like
43:07
you just did when you go, I didn't make it the number I I
43:09
just helped you out. No, because I just helped you
43:11
out when you're making. When you make an argument, it's
43:15
always an argument that makes no sense.
43:17
At the end of the argument, it really doesn't.
43:19
You're going to tell me, because what does it matter what Roman
43:23
Anthony did throughout the playoffs?
43:25
I mean, throughout the highlighting, I'm highlighting
43:28
one thing. He was the one that struck out
43:30
in the most important at bat to keep this team alive.
43:34
So. Someone has to.
43:35
Someone has to make the last out.
43:36
It happened to be him. I'm not judging him on that.
43:39
And I'm I'm not judging him either.
43:41
I'm just saying, isn't it fitting that a Red Sox pitcher,
43:45
a Red Sox pitcher, is the one that gave up the winning run and
43:49
the Red Sox the run? That's the last hitter.
43:53
A Red Sox pitcher is also the one that that won the game for
43:55
Venezuela, isn't he? Eduardo Rodriguez was sharp,
43:58
yes. He was.
44:00
Nobody said that he wasn't. And who hit the home run for
44:03
Venezuela? I think that was will you or re
44:05
you another Red Sox? That's weird.
44:07
Real. Weird.
44:08
It's like you're telling me they suck, but apparently when they
44:10
play for Venezuela they're really good.
44:13
Jeff, you are a piece of work. You really are.
44:17
You just spin it. No, you spin it.
44:19
No, you spin it. That's what you do.
44:21
You always do it. The WBC is to me an exhibition
44:26
game. That's what it was.
44:27
And I said it, I'll say it again.
44:29
There is no reason why these players should have played in
44:31
this tournament if they're making millions and millions of
44:34
dollars. As Bellinger said, these teams
44:36
are paying me this big amount amount of money.
44:38
I'm there to win championships for those teams, not to play the
44:41
game tournament. That means nothing.
44:43
It means. Nothing.
44:45
Let's bring it back to the Yankee level here.
44:47
I have a question for you regarding him as a Yankee.
44:50
OK, when when people talk about the Yankees, yourself included,
44:54
when they talk about the great Yankees, they mention Manol and
44:57
Maris and Jeter and Yogi Berra, right?
45:01
Like these are the Yankees they mentioned.
45:03
Why did they mention them? Because they won championships
45:07
will people still And he's a great player.
45:09
He's probably going to be a Hall of Famer.
45:11
Will he be considered a great Yankee if he never wins a World
45:14
Series? No, he's got to win a World
45:17
Series. He's got He's definitely going.
45:19
He had his run last year. He had a sensational run.
45:22
And the same, same thing with Vladimir Guerrero Junior.
45:25
Everybody was wondering it, when's this guy going to show up
45:27
in the playoffs and earn his money?
45:29
He made his key. Showed up last year.
45:31
He did. He did he.
45:32
Was really bad the 1st 2 though. And he was what he was, one game
45:35
away from winning the World Series.
45:36
But they choked. They had a 3-1 lead and they
45:39
choked. I'm sorry.
45:40
That was crazy too. That backup, like third baseman
45:43
or whatever that idiot was hitting that home run in the
45:45
ninth. That was crazy.
45:46
Yeah, and I'm not. Again, I I'm the first one to
45:49
say it. If Aaron Judge never wins the
45:52
championship, he's not going to be considered like Derek Jeter
45:55
is or Yogi Berra is or Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig.
46:00
You need to go out there and win a championship.
46:02
And he knows that, and he knows he's got to bring one home and
46:05
he knows he needs to be a big party.
46:06
Real There's a real chance this guy gets skunked.
46:09
The Dodgers are building a monster.
46:11
They don't look like they're slowing down anytime soon, and
46:14
Aaron Judge folds like a cheap tent when the when you know the
46:16
lights are on. It could happen.
46:19
It could very much happen. Jeff, thank.
46:20
You for having. We're watching it.
46:22
This guy is Dan Marino. He's Jim Kelly.
46:25
He's Jim Kelly. He gets to the finals.
46:27
He got World Series, Super Bowl, all these things and he falls.
46:31
Thank you. Thank you, Jeff.
46:33
I love you. Worst USA captain ever.
46:36
Thank you, Jeff. Goodbye.
46:39
This is what I mean. And I it was a good call.
46:42
I'm not taking shots at Jeff. It was a good call.
46:45
He wants to attack me with the Roman Anthony take and Whitlock
46:48
take. That's fine.
46:50
He has good. He had made some good arguments.
46:52
Here's my argument to it. It doesn't really matter.
46:56
My argument was before this tournament that these guys
46:58
should not be playing in this tournament.
47:01
The best players should not be playing in these tournaments,
47:03
especially the money that these guys are making this if if the
47:07
WBC it was in the middle of the All Star break and they want to
47:11
count this as an All Star game. Look what obviously Gary Bettman
47:15
did for a new the NHL and and what the NHL was doing.
47:18
I thought that was interesting and I I would like to see that
47:22
maybe with the major leagues. If you want to add the WBC, do
47:26
it in the middle of the season when these guys are, you know,
47:29
finally get there, you know, the feet defeat under them.
47:32
I mean, because Aaron Judge did not was not going into this
47:36
tournament and he was going to be jacking up a 330 batting
47:40
average and he was going to have 5-6 home runs.
47:42
It he doesn't have enough time, he doesn't have enough time to
47:44
prepare. You're going into a tournament
47:47
before spring training. That's what it was.
47:50
He has no spring training. How many spring training games
47:52
is Aaron Judge going to be playing in before the season
47:54
starts? The season's, what, a week and a
47:56
half away? Yeah.
47:57
He only played like in a week before that if he can.
48:00
And Aaron Judge, if you go look at Aaron Judge's numbers during
48:04
spring training, they're not good.
48:06
They're not good. He's not good in spring
48:08
training. He's just not.
48:12
But to say that Aaron Judge is the reason why, because he was
48:15
the captain of team on why Team USA did not win this
48:18
championship, that's ridiculous. I'm telling you.
48:21
And, and Roman Anthony did hit 280.
48:23
He had 7 RBIs, two home runs and he was an add on player.
48:27
But he struck out 6 * 6. And I know what I know what
48:33
Jeff's going to say. Well, Aaron Judge struck out
48:35
seven times. Bryce Harper struck out eight
48:37
times. Kyle Schwarber struck out seven
48:40
times. Buxton struck out four times.
48:48
You're going to tell me right now when you look at this team
48:51
and they called this team the Dream Team.
48:53
First of all, Pete Crow, Armstrong's a great player.
48:55
Is he a Dream Team type of player?
48:57
He's not Gunner Henderson. He's a good player.
49:01
Is he a Dream Team type of player?
49:04
These two guys, I would kind of compare them to Christian
49:07
Leitner from the Dream Team, just those guys aren't the best
49:12
players in America at their respectable positions.
49:16
Pete Crow Armstrong is the best center fielder Team USA has to
49:19
offer. Not, not the way hit in the
49:20
second-half, was he? No, he's not.
49:23
No Carol. Carol was definitely the guy if
49:26
he was hurt. Gunner Henderson, you're going
49:29
to tell me he's DH, whatever he is right now for, is he the best
49:35
player at his position that Team USA was going to add to this
49:38
roster? He's not either is boxed in.
49:43
Ernie Clement. Are you going to tell me that
49:45
Ernie Clement should have been on this roster?
49:47
This isn't a dream team. And I got news for you.
49:51
Cal Rally, what happened to him in his tournament?
49:54
He was horrible. He lost his job.
49:57
He lost his job. Wilson took over for him.
49:59
I'm telling you right now, you can't blame this on Aaron Judge,
50:03
Alex Bregman, who just got a lot of money.
50:05
He's a great here. He was the worst hitter on this
50:08
roster. He had 14 at bats.
50:11
You know how many hits? He had two hits out of 14 at
50:14
bats. Horrible is being nice and he
50:18
just got $100 million contract. You know who the Chicago Cubs
50:23
that just paid him. Oh, my opinion here.
50:25
And look, Paul Goldschmidt. Paul Goldschmidt was an add on
50:28
play to the Yankees at the tail end of free agency.
50:31
He made the team. Let's go through the dream team.
50:34
I could, if I can name him off the head.
50:36
Karl Malone at the prime of his career, John Stockton at the
50:40
prime of his career, Michael Jordan at the prime of his
50:42
career, Charles Barkley at the prime of his career.
50:47
Magic Johnson, tail end. Larry Bird, tail end.
50:51
David Robertson, prime of his career.
50:55
Patrick Ewing, prime of his career.
51:00
That's a dream team. That is a dream team, ladies and
51:05
gentlemen. Clyde Drexler, prime of his
51:07
career. You cannot sell me that this was
51:13
the dream team. It's not, and for anybody like
51:19
AJ Pierzynski to come out with this garbage to try to sell that
51:22
to us just tells you how stupid he really is.
51:25
Dumb. It was a dumb take.
51:30
I'm just, I, I, I thought it was a good, good phone call.
51:33
And I want to give a shout out to Jeff for calling and having
51:36
the the guts to attack me, but I'm sorry.
51:42
To blame this on Aaron Judge on why Team USA lost is ridiculous.
51:46
Yeah, it's also like it's also different than basketball.
51:48
Like one player is not going to lose a game for in baseball,
51:51
like a collective offense loses a game in baseball.
51:54
Like there's a lot of hitters that just disappeared all at
51:56
once. You could say, all right, one
51:57
relief pitcher or one starting pitcher having a dog game.
52:00
OK, fine. That's different.
52:01
A hitter? Not as much.
52:03

52:56
Speedy was running around. I was in the cold.
52:58
I had a lisp because when we came in, my whole jaw froze.
53:02
That's how cold it was outside here, especially when it when
53:06
the the sun went down, whatever sun we had today.
53:09
So it wasn't. Yeah, we didn't have sun there.

53:57
Our friend Dan Purcell will be returning to us.

54:02
He couldn't join tonight, but he is.
54:03
He's going to be able to come on at 8:30 next week on Thursday.
54:06
Dan is one of the best in the business when it comes to
54:09
studying and he works. He works with the NBA.
54:13
He's one of the best at looking at data and and looking at who's
54:19
going to be good and in the future where these guys are
54:21
going to be as NBA players, college players.
54:24
And he is one of the best. So I'm excited to have him on.
54:27
I'd love to hear his take on AJ and Peterson and Boozer and
54:32
where he sees how the NBA is going to look at these guys as
54:36
the top three prospects coming out of this year's draft and his
54:38
Wilson moving up even with not playing in this tournament and
54:43
breaking his finger. So and I think he is moving up.
54:46
I I think he's as good as any one of these guys as well.
54:48
So very, very interesting. Anyways, that's it for a show,
54:52
ladies and gentlemen, enjoy your weekend.
