0:44
Speaker 1: do you believe the conspiracy theory that Trek Skouble had
0:49
Speaker 1: ulterior motives pushing for a Dodger's trade. There's a reason,
0:55
Speaker 1: specific reason he wanted only the Dodgers, and it relates
0:59
Speaker 1: to the labor situation in baseball. We'll talk about that

3:14
Speaker 1: to work. Here we go just a little off to
3:21
Speaker 1: the left there. Let's go to the instant review here
3:25
Speaker 1: the abs challenge and see if that was in the
3:28
Speaker 1: zone the rain. It was not. Okay, damn thought it
3:32
Speaker 1: might next time. I might have hit just the top
3:34
Speaker 1: part of the strikes home, but apparently did not. So
3:37
Speaker 1: are lead. The story is in La La Land, where
3:39
Speaker 1: the Dodgers were getting turned into pineapple juice by the
3:43
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox. There they kicked the Dodgers' ass over
3:45
Speaker 1: the weekend. No one's talking about that, though. They're all
3:48
Speaker 1: talking about what happened the big trade as the Dodgers
3:53
Speaker 1: get the ace in the hole, the trek Scooble trade,
3:57
Speaker 1: the latest shot heard round the baseball world. If you
4:00
Speaker 1: have not been following here, perhaps not. The Dodgers are
4:05
Speaker 1: getting bludgeoned as there's people suffering from what we call
4:08
Speaker 1: dodger Itis Dodger derangement syndrome, having a tough time dealing
4:12
Speaker 1: with the fact that the rich got richer. Now the
4:15
Speaker 1: executive Andrew Friedman and manager Dave Roberts, do you think
4:20
Speaker 1: they A said yes, we are the bullies of baseball
4:24
Speaker 1: and this trade is not fair, B no comment or
4:29
Speaker 1: C They defended the trade all right. Survey says the
4:35
Speaker 1: answer is C. So if you didn't see this Friedman
4:39
Speaker 1: and Roberts rejecting, rejecting the popular narrative by popular people,
4:44
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are ruining baseball. They're ruining it. This after
4:48
Speaker 1: acquiring the two time reigning Cy Young winner Trek Schoobel
4:52
Speaker 1: in a trade that was more of a tax deductible donation,
4:56
Speaker 1: arguing that they're just trying to build the top team
5:00
Speaker 1: they can build, and they needed school and that's why
5:02
Speaker 1: they made the trade. And it's rather logical that you
5:04
Speaker 1: would make the trade, Freeman said. Criticism of the Dodgers
5:07
Speaker 1: spending and aggressive roster building is quote misplaced. He emphasized
5:12
Speaker 1: that every front office would pursue elite talent if given
5:15
Speaker 1: the opportunity, and that the responsibility is to maximize the Dodgers'
5:20
Speaker 1: chances of winning. All right, Roberts Hey. Roberts also dismissed
5:27
Speaker 1: I liked him in that spot. He dismissed the backlash,
5:30
Speaker 1: saying that he isn't concerned with outside opinions. Yet he
5:34
Speaker 1: was talking about outside opinions, so I guess he is concerned,
5:37
Speaker 1: and that he said Roberts the Dodgers should not should
5:41
Speaker 1: not apologize for trying to improve and try to win
5:45
Speaker 1: another championship. Freeman pushed back on the idea that Dodgers
5:48
Speaker 1: simply buy championships, which is with dumb people. So they
5:51
Speaker 1: just bought the rolling or they wanted they wanted, they
5:55
Speaker 1: Apple paid it. Yeah, anyway, Freeman dismissing that claim, saying
6:00
Speaker 1: he passionately disagrees, pointing to years of player development, years
6:04
Speaker 1: of player develpment, scouting, and organizational depth that allows the
6:08
Speaker 1: club to make a blockbuster deal without gutting the future.
6:15
Speaker 1: All right, so that is a good jumping off point.
6:17
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question should the Dodgers brass led
6:22
Speaker 1: by and rout Freeman and also, Dave Roberts feel bad
6:26
Speaker 1: should they feel bad for building this super team, the
6:30
Speaker 1: super duper team and adding another big name on top.
6:34
Speaker 1: So I've got Walgreens, triceratops, and speak easy, and we'll
6:40
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and hopefully we will
6:43
Speaker 1: enjoy our hogi of the Gabba goo and a side
6:47
Speaker 1: dish of the Baba Ganoosh. We're gonna have that. So
6:49
Speaker 1: to lead off here, it's kind of like in elementary school,
6:54
Speaker 1: you don't blame the smart kid forgetting an a. It's
6:58
Speaker 1: not the smart kid's fault that they get today. All right,
7:01
Speaker 1: that's it. The Dodgers have obviously been the beneficiary, not
7:05
Speaker 1: of just the financial part of it. They've been the
7:07
Speaker 1: thing that people are missing, and you just don't get it.
7:11
Speaker 1: I don't know why you don't get it. Now, I'm
7:13
Speaker 1: not talking maybe to you, but other people that are
7:15
Speaker 1: around the sport of baseball. The thing that they don't
7:17
Speaker 1: get is the biggest push the Dodgers have gotten in
7:21
Speaker 1: this run of dominance is the gross negligence of other
7:27
Speaker 1: teams in baseball period. Stop right, let me explain why
7:32
Speaker 1: that is my take. Right for all the money, now,
7:35
Speaker 1: Andrew Friedman is not a villain in this story. He
7:39
Speaker 1: is just the one doing work, apparently, the only one
7:44
Speaker 1: doing work. It's like a group project and he's the
7:47
Speaker 1: one that's actually getting the stuff done. And that's where
7:50
Speaker 1: we are. Like, the Dodgers did not steal these star players,
7:53
Speaker 1: a lot of them. They did not develop. That is true.
7:56
Speaker 1: They didn't steal them, though. They waited for the other
7:59
Speaker 1: teams and around baseball the other front offices to misdiagnose
8:05
Speaker 1: their own talent. And that's what happened time and time again.
8:10
Speaker 1: The other teams bet against their players. The Dodgers bet
8:15
Speaker 1: on their players. It's like a web MD addict misdiagnosing themselves. Well,
8:20
Speaker 1: that's happens because a lot of illnesses have very similar,
8:25
Speaker 1: very very similar you know, things around them, like a
8:29
Speaker 1: cough here, if you're a little pain on your side
8:32
Speaker 1: and you know, you go through it's like, okay, so
8:34
Speaker 1: you're addicted to web MD. So that's one part. Right.
8:37
Speaker 1: Then you've got everyone and their mother around baseball who
8:41
Speaker 1: went down the Walgreens and got the prescription bottle of
8:44
Speaker 1: extra strength stupid pills and took two every eight hours. Stupid, stupid,
8:50
Speaker 1: stupid pills around baseball. You look around Baseball's village. Idiots
8:56
Speaker 1: handed over elite players to the Dodgers for penny on
9:00
Speaker 1: the dollar, like it was like a charity raffle. What's
9:03
Speaker 1: going on here around baseball? And again, it's not about
9:06
Speaker 1: the money. It's about these other teams. The Dodgers can't
9:09
Speaker 1: have all the money in the world. If these other
9:11
Speaker 1: teams kept their players, they wouldn't get access to these players.
9:15
Speaker 1: And that's the part people don't understand. I don't know
9:18
Speaker 1: why you don't understand it. It's rather simple. The Red
9:20
Speaker 1: Sox donated Mookie Bets. John Henry didn't think Mookie Bets
9:24
Speaker 1: was worth the investment. Three World championships later, Mookie Bets
9:28
Speaker 1: is still there and it's not that great, but he's
9:29
Speaker 1: still there. And the Red Sox are like, all right, listen,
9:33
Speaker 1: just give us some clothes that we can donate to goodwill. Okay, sure,
9:38
Speaker 1: why not, We'll do that. And then the Red Sox
9:42
Speaker 1: got Connor Wong and some other slop from the Dodgers
9:46
Speaker 1: for Mookie Bets. The Atlanta Braves decided that Freddie Freeman
9:51
Speaker 1: was long in the tooth that he couldn't consistently perform,
9:55
Speaker 1: so they didn't want to keep him around. They thought
9:57
Speaker 1: he was just about fully cooked. But turns out he's
10:02
Speaker 1: aging like Tom Brady's avocado ice cream. Remember they went
10:07
Speaker 1: out and traded for Matt Olsen, was the guy right
10:10
Speaker 1: from the old Oakland Athletics, and they said, well, we
10:13
Speaker 1: want old and Olson. It's been fine for the Braves.
10:15
Speaker 1: He's been fine. He's put up big home run numbers
10:17
Speaker 1: and RBIs and all that. Freddy Freeman, though, the biggest
10:21
Speaker 1: home run in the World Series up until last year
10:25
Speaker 1: was by Freddy Freeman Game one of the World Series
10:27
Speaker 1: against the Yankees a couple of years back, and that
10:30
Speaker 1: was topped by Rojas and by Will Smith in the
10:34
Speaker 1: World Series against Toronto. But you used the point, how
10:36
Speaker 1: about Artie Marino. Arti Marina runs the Angels like it's
10:40
Speaker 1: a yard sale, and rather than put good pitchers out
10:44
Speaker 1: there and build the roster up, you had years of
10:46
Speaker 1: Otani and Trout and you couldn't find pitching, and so
10:52
Speaker 1: Otani didn't want to stay, and that's it. He left.
10:56
Speaker 1: And you know it's like you you look. Even I
10:59
Speaker 1: mentioned Oakland. With the old Oakland Athletics, they had a
11:02
Speaker 1: guy named Max Munsey and they didn't know what they had.
11:06
Speaker 1: They didn't think he was that good. Dodgers got him
11:08
Speaker 1: on I believe it was a waiver claim. And Max
11:12
Speaker 1: Munsey is the all time Dodgers Stadium home run leader
11:15
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. Nobody's hitting more home runs as an
11:17
Speaker 1: LA Dodger than Max Munsey. And he was an Oakland
11:20
Speaker 1: athletic and he didn't play, and he didn't give him
11:22
Speaker 1: a chance and all that stuff. So now you can
11:25
Speaker 1: add the Tigers they knew what they had and they
11:28
Speaker 1: still decided to give away the player for pennies on
11:32
Speaker 1: the dollar and in SCHOOLBA, and we'll see in school,
11:35
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee could get hurt. You know, know what's
11:37
Speaker 1: gonna happen, change of scenery. And maybe he's allergic to
11:41
Speaker 1: the colored blue, the shade of blue the Dodgers have.
11:43
Speaker 1: Who knows?
11:45
Speaker 2: Uh.
11:45
Speaker 1: So it's the finances. Everyone gets all worked up. Oh,
11:50
Speaker 1: it's money, money, money. I just gave you a bunch
11:53
Speaker 1: of examples, a bunch of examples of players that were
11:56
Speaker 1: good that we knew were good on other baseball teams,
11:58
Speaker 1: that those teams did not sign to contracts or had
12:03
Speaker 1: them and didn't want to extend them and allowed them
12:07
Speaker 1: to go to market, and as a result that has
12:10
Speaker 1: helped fuel so in many ways. The Atlanta Braves, the
12:14
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox, the Anaheim Angels, the Oakland Athletics, all
12:19
Speaker 1: these teams co authored whatever this is, whatever level of
12:23
Speaker 1: dynasty the Dodgers have, was co authored by those other
12:26
Speaker 1: teams for their incompetence in giving good players, either trading
12:31
Speaker 1: them to the Dodgers or not signing them and allowing
12:34
Speaker 1: them to go to market where they ended up with
12:36
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. That's on those other teams. Strategic incompetence is
12:40
Speaker 1: the words I will use for that. Meanwhile, there are
12:44
Speaker 1: several conspiracy theories going around in the fallout on the
12:49
Speaker 1: big trade over the weekend. Now it is believed that
12:52
Speaker 1: Trek Skoubele, the two time cy Young Guy for the
12:57
Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers, that his agent had been We talked about
13:00
Speaker 1: this last week in a previous episode of the show,
13:02
Speaker 1: that Tarrek Scoobel's agent was passionately working through back channels
13:08
Speaker 1: to try to facilitate a trade to la that this
13:11
Speaker 1: was what Schooble wanted. He wanted to play for the Dodgers,
13:17
Speaker 1: and so he got the trade, and the Dodgers now
13:20
Speaker 1: provide him an opportunity to play in big playoff games,
13:23
Speaker 1: to pitch in big playoff games, and also work on
13:25
Speaker 1: a contract extension so he can stay in LA Now.
13:30
Speaker 1: The goal is supposedly to get an extension completed asap.
13:35
Speaker 1: That those guys have said, I'm not negotiating during the
13:38
Speaker 1: season because i want to focus on my sport. That's
13:41
Speaker 1: not what's going on here, not what we're hearing. As
13:44
Speaker 1: we understand it, Schooble is gung ho. He's on the warpath,
13:49
Speaker 1: on the warpath to get into a deal done. So
13:52
Speaker 1: the question do you believe the deep state conspiracy that
13:58
Speaker 1: Trek Schouble had ulterior motives ulterior motives in pushing the
14:03
Speaker 1: Tigers to trade him to Dodgers Stadium as the late
14:08
Speaker 1: great Tomulus Sorda used to call it blue heaven on Earth?
14:11
Speaker 1: So one thousand percent do I believe this? One thousand percent?
14:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my officially fitted tinfoil hat on. I'm
14:21
Speaker 1: gonna go for it. Why not. Welcome to the Doomsday Prophecies,
14:27
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball edition and the reason Schooble wanted
14:30
Speaker 1: to go to the Dodgers. Did they spend a lot
14:32
Speaker 1: of money? Yes, absolutely. The reason he wanted to expedite
14:36
Speaker 1: the process behind the scenes was because of the oncoming
14:40
Speaker 1: forecast of armageddon in baseball. And while players will fight
14:47
Speaker 1: to the death, it is my belief that the union
14:51
Speaker 1: will fight to the death against the salary cap, there
14:54
Speaker 1: will not be a cap. Ultimately, there is compromise. If
14:58
Speaker 1: you're at impass, you have to find promise. Well, what
15:01
Speaker 1: is the compromise. Think of this like Nascar. You know,
15:04
Speaker 1: I want Carolina Ryan and Carolina Bucket thing you were
15:08
Speaker 1: like Nascar? They had for years they had restricted plate
15:10
Speaker 1: racing in NASCAR, And so the baseball version would be
15:14
Speaker 1: to cap the length of contracts. I said, we're not
15:17
Speaker 1: The players said, we're not going to give a salarycap.
15:20
Speaker 1: The others are like, well, you gotta give us something.
15:22
Speaker 1: And so the compromise, from what I've heard the people,
15:24
Speaker 1: one of the ideas is that we'll just limit the
15:27
Speaker 1: amount of years on a contract, because if you haven't noticed,
15:32
Speaker 1: a lot of these massive ten plus year contracts turn
15:36
Speaker 1: out to absolutely kick the teams in the balls that
15:41
Speaker 1: give these contracts. They're good for like really five years
15:43
Speaker 1: as it was told to me they're really like five
15:45
Speaker 1: year contracts. They just the last five or just throw
15:48
Speaker 1: away years and all that. So that would that's one
15:50
Speaker 1: of the plans, you know, the free agent super speedway.
15:54
Speaker 1: Just limit it to like four four year contracts and
15:57
Speaker 1: that's it. And then the player movements good for baseball
16:01
Speaker 1: because you get excitement of players changing teams and so
16:03
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a good thing there. Now, if Major
16:06
Speaker 1: League Baseball does limit the terms of these contracts, if
16:09
Speaker 1: that's what ends up happening, then Scooble gets a new
16:14
Speaker 1: deal with the Dodgers. Between now, he's gotta get it
16:17
Speaker 1: done before December. First, you get the deal done, and
16:19
Speaker 1: he becomes the final try Sarah Thops, the final dinosaur,
16:26
Speaker 1: the last living dinosaur, that contract before the asteroid hits.
16:30
Speaker 1: And it's turnout the last the parties over for t Rex,
16:35
Speaker 1: it's all over or go. Locking up one of those
16:38
Speaker 1: six plus year contracts mega mega, mega money for the
16:42
Speaker 1: for the LA Dodgers do it right now. That would
16:44
Speaker 1: be a strategic masterstroke. So I buy this. I buy
16:48
Speaker 1: with It's kind of like Grandpa Joe, right, Grandpa Joe
16:52
Speaker 1: leaping out of bed Scooba would be grandfathered in. He
16:56
Speaker 1: would be grandfathered in under this plan, and the last
17:00
Speaker 1: person to get one of these massive contracts, and he knows,
17:03
Speaker 1: and his agent knows. If he had gone to the
17:05
Speaker 1: Brewers or Tampa Bay, that would not have happened. Now,
17:09
Speaker 1: the issue is the Tigers did not have to trade
17:11
Speaker 1: Schooble to the Dodgers. Just because a player asked to
17:14
Speaker 1: go to a team doesn't mean that they have to
17:17
Speaker 1: accommodate the player. So you should still have a beef
17:20
Speaker 1: with the Tigers. If you're suffering from Dodger itis, you
17:23
Speaker 1: should have a beef with the Dodgers. But without that move,
17:26
Speaker 1: without that move, any future extension for Schooble would be
17:32
Speaker 1: neutered to whatever the new CBA is when they finally
17:35
Speaker 1: end the pending workstoppage in baseball. And so the Dodgers
17:40
Speaker 1: deal is not just a short term thing because this
17:42
Speaker 1: guy's all horny to signed an extension Schooble. So that
17:46
Speaker 1: makes it like the Rosetta Stone of loopholes for the Dodgers.
17:50
Speaker 1: And when the rules shift, and they're gonna shift now,
17:53
Speaker 1: I don't believe there'll be a salary cap, but there'll
17:55
Speaker 1: be a lot of changes and compromises from the players,
17:59
Speaker 1: So when the rules shift the entire trade, you have
18:04
Speaker 1: to look at it through a different pair of glasses.
18:06
Speaker 1: I have to look at it. It's like a high
18:09
Speaker 1: stake heist movie. Think of the Dodgers as Danny Ocean
18:13
Speaker 1: and everyone else is just the clueless security guard. Little
18:17
Speaker 1: hot Ocean's eleven, all right or Oceans fifteen or whatever
18:20
Speaker 1: it is. All right now, last thing, So we had
18:23
Speaker 1: a three pack of starting pitchers who were sent into
18:27
Speaker 1: the transfer portal over the weekend. Three name brand starting
18:31
Speaker 1: pitchers who've been around the Tampa Bay Rays. That's a
18:34
Speaker 1: baseball team having a great year and without any real
18:38
Speaker 1: star power. The Rays acquired the right handed pitcher Freddie
18:42
Speaker 1: Peralta from the Mets, who suck. Over the weekend, and
18:47
Speaker 1: for three minor leaguers you've never heard of. The Chicago
18:51
Speaker 1: Cubs picked up right handed pitcher Kevin Gossman from the
18:53
Speaker 1: Blue Jays. The White Sox acquired Luis Castillo in a
18:58
Speaker 1: trade from Seattle. Mostly minor leaguers. Mostly minor leaguers. A
19:04
Speaker 1: few bit players in the major is also part of
19:06
Speaker 1: those trades. So the question you make the call. Here's
19:09
Speaker 1: the question, who's going to have the biggest impact between
19:12
Speaker 1: now and the end of the season, including the playoffs.
19:15
Speaker 1: Who's going to have the biggest impact for their new team.
19:18
Speaker 1: Freddie Peralta going from the Mets to Tampa, Kevin Gosman
19:21
Speaker 1: goes from Toronto to the Cubs, or Luis Castillo from
19:25
Speaker 1: Seattle to Chicago with the White Sox. So here we go,
19:30
Speaker 1: Servey says. None of these guys moved the needle. However,
19:35
Speaker 1: I have to come up with an answer. So if
19:37
Speaker 1: you put a machete to my neck and say you
19:39
Speaker 1: have to pick one, fine, I will pick one. I'm
19:42
Speaker 1: going to take Freddie Paralta purely by default. Now, I
19:46
Speaker 1: love Kevin Gossman in Toronto and the other places he's pitched.
19:50
Speaker 1: I won money betting on Kevin Gossman years ago, so
19:53
Speaker 1: thank you for that. At this point in time, we
19:56
Speaker 1: have to worry about this point in time. Unless you
19:58
Speaker 1: have some kind of DeLorean you can go back and
20:03
Speaker 1: go back to the future. I don't think you can.
20:05
Speaker 1: So you've got Gossman Luis Castillo, who are the pitching
20:11
Speaker 1: equivalent of an old iPhone. Now, if you're an iPhone person.
20:15
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta have you change it every you know,
20:17
Speaker 1: a handful of years. You got to pony up the
20:19
Speaker 1: money and all that. And an old iPhone, it'll turn on,
20:23
Speaker 1: the battery doesn't really work, and nobody's expecting some kind
20:27
Speaker 1: of magic from from that, and no one's expecting any
20:31
Speaker 1: kind of magic from the wobbly. The wobbley situation here
20:36
Speaker 1: with these guys. So Paralta's the only one that's got
20:40
Speaker 1: some actual upside. He is heading to the market. He's
20:42
Speaker 1: a free agent, well if there is free agency after
20:45
Speaker 1: the season, so he is going to be a free agent.
20:46
Speaker 1: Now the catch here, Freddie Peralta got off to a
20:50
Speaker 1: decent start with the Mets, had a good ERA through
20:51
Speaker 1: about nine starts, had an era in the threes, and
20:54
Speaker 1: then something happened and over the last thirteen outings he
20:58
Speaker 1: goes in there limping. He has been frazzled and bedraggled.
21:03
Speaker 1: An earn run average of over six almost six and
21:05
Speaker 1: a half for the New York Mets for Freddie Peralta.
21:08
Speaker 1: Now the reason I'm going with Tampa. Why am I
21:13
Speaker 1: doing that? Because the mythology says the Tampa Bay Rays
21:17
Speaker 1: they run a speak easy for pitchers down there, and
21:21
Speaker 1: lost souls find themselves in that speak easy. They serve
21:25
Speaker 1: up a witch's brew and those guys go out there
21:28
Speaker 1: in Frankenstein's laboratory and they work their magic. And so
21:32
Speaker 1: they don't just fix pictures. They resurrect failed careers in Tampa.
21:38
Speaker 1: And so they're gonna need every ounce of that voodoo
21:41
Speaker 1: bugaloo to turn Peralta around. Over the last couple of
21:44
Speaker 1: months of the Rays do have the top record in
21:47
Speaker 1: the American League, so they've got that going for him.
21:51
Speaker 1: So yeah, I am going to sip I'm not gonna
21:53
Speaker 1: drink it, but I'm gonna sip the kool aid, the
21:55
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay kool aid. That of those three, if you
21:57
Speaker 1: gave me a thousand dollars of funny money, I'm betting
22:00
Speaker 1: on Freddy Perrault to find in the thing, because the
22:03
Speaker 1: alternative is betting on a couple of ancient batteries slowly
22:07
Speaker 1: draining on that old iPhone. Good luck on that. It
22:10
Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahler Show. It's the greatest day of
22:14

Speaker 1: weekends go quicker. I don't know why that is. It

24:58
Speaker 1: were you here? Uh huh oh, well that sucks for you.
25:04
Speaker 1: That's uh. How's Mary Mack doing? She uh, Lorena is

Speaker 1: a Bronco fan, that's all Bronco fan. Yeah. I came
25:21
Speaker 1: in earlier and I saw Iowa Sam, who works he
25:26
Speaker 1: quit the overnight show because he wanted to work during
25:28
Speaker 1: the day. And then uh Bob Gara, who's producer of
25:32
Speaker 1: the weekday show. He used to produce my show back
25:34
Speaker 1: in the day. Both those guys, and I saw him here.
25:36
Speaker 1: I said, boy, that's odd. So all right, let's see
25:40
Speaker 1: what things happened. We got all kinds of chatter, speculation,
25:44
Speaker 1: rumors and all that stuff to get to in a moment.
25:47
Speaker 1: And I love these, uh these reports because a lot
25:51
Speaker 1: of them are bull crap, but they're fun to talk about.
25:52
Speaker 1: Alf the alien Opiner from in between Springfield and Worcester writes,
25:57
Speaker 1: and he says, go ahead and kick us while we're down, Malor.
26:00
Speaker 1: It's been a long and hard eight years since the
26:02
Speaker 1: Red Sox last World Series championship. This deal went down
26:06
Speaker 1: less than two weeks talking about the MOOKI bet straight
26:08
Speaker 1: went down less than two weeks after I had rotator
26:10
Speaker 1: cuff surgery and right before the pandemic. Yeah, I didn't
26:13
Speaker 1: realize that. February tenth of twenty twenty, which is about
26:16
Speaker 1: as close to the pandemic as you can get, and
26:20
Speaker 1: the Red Sox traded outfielder Mookie Bets and left handed
26:23
Speaker 1: pitcher David Price, along with cash considerations to the Dodgers
26:27
Speaker 1: in exchange for Alex Verdugo, infielder Jeter Downs and Connor Wong.
26:33
Speaker 1: So I looked it up so you would not have to.
26:35
Speaker 1: It's my public service to you, all right, here's the
26:39
Speaker 1: deal with my friend's in Boston. Alex Verdugo is currently
26:42
Speaker 1: out of professional baseball. He's not in the major leagues.
26:46
Speaker 1: Connor Wong is on the Red Sox, batting two fifty
26:49
Speaker 1: five as a backup catcher, and infielder Jeter Downs is
26:53
Speaker 1: batting two twenty in the Japanese League. That's what the
26:57
Speaker 1: Red Sox got for Mookie Bets. Is that a fair trade?
27:02
Speaker 5: No?
27:04
Speaker 1: Oh, you're being a hater, mallor you're being a hater.
27:08
Speaker 1: Why you gotta be a hater? Right, let's say hello
27:11
Speaker 1: to it says on my board. Here is this, it says,
27:15
Speaker 1: discreet Now is this the same Discreete that used to
27:18
Speaker 1: call from San Francisco back and say hello, Discreete, welcome Hello?
27:22
Speaker 1: But Ben it is, Yeah, there he is the man,
27:26
Speaker 1: the myth, the legend that goes way back, that goes
27:28
Speaker 1: many many years back.
27:30
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I was kind to tie it up with the
27:32
Speaker 2: bow tie at the end. You know, every now and
27:34
Speaker 2: then it takes a little highgration break from a calling
27:37
Speaker 2: the show, you know, like like for years we'll work
27:42
Speaker 2: the World Cup there, you know, to a little reader.
27:44
Speaker 2: But I definitely had to check in on the todd
27:47
Speaker 2: ritis and but real quick is I don't know that
27:51
Speaker 2: that youngster is still listening to the show right now
27:55
Speaker 2: or not, But somebody needs to monitor the youth you know,
28:01
Speaker 2: thumbs up for listening, but gotta be careful because what
28:05
Speaker 2: if he side right into the next program, which is
28:07
Speaker 2: a two pros and a couple of hose or you know, I.
28:11
Speaker 1: Don't think that's I don't believe that's the name of
28:13
Speaker 1: the show. I think that that's a that would that
28:15
Speaker 1: would be a spicy nickname that I can spin off.
28:18
Speaker 1: Two pros and a couple of hose. That would be
28:21
Speaker 1: quite down would.
28:22
Speaker 2: Be if I had participated in the advice line, I
28:29
Speaker 2: would have said, Okay, those who need the advice, it's
28:34
Speaker 2: got to kind of follow Magic Johnson's you know, laid
28:38
Speaker 2: back pathway. Two steps. One is to you know, read deeply,
28:45
Speaker 2: relaxed and do what Vince Scully would do Vince Scully
28:50
Speaker 2: and then just stay positive.
28:53
Speaker 1: Also, you see at the end of the NBC broadcast
28:57
Speaker 1: their discreete they said that this was yesterday was the
29:00
Speaker 1: worth the anniversary of Vince School's passing. That's been I
29:03
Speaker 1: can't believe four years since then Vin checked out.
29:06
Speaker 2: Yeah it's wild, huh yeah, But see that's that's my
29:10
Speaker 2: deal is. I grew up in Arizona, but I'm Pirates
29:15
Speaker 2: and Steelers are virtual of my dad.
29:18
Speaker 1: Right, So you're you're blaming you. You're blaming your dad,
29:20
Speaker 1: is what you're doing. You're saying your dad, well, at
29:22
Speaker 1: least for the for the Pirates part of it. The Steelers, though,
29:25
Speaker 1: you had some good times.
29:26
Speaker 2: Well so if the youngster in the seventies, we had
29:30
Speaker 2: transis the radios listening to the playoff games in elementary school.
29:35
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, I've heard stories about that. And and you know,
29:40
Speaker 1: now kids have iPhones.
29:42
Speaker 2: I know now there are sending signals to the trash
29:46
Speaker 2: can people out in the outfield.
29:48
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, exactly, exactly.
29:52
Speaker 3: I like that.
29:52
Speaker 1: We're getting the extended dance remix here, discreete though, this
29:55
Speaker 1: is good. We're getting the full dance remix here. So
29:57
Speaker 1: which is important.
29:58
Speaker 2: I grew up I minded my appeasing tooth or whatever
30:02
Speaker 2: it was, and that way it kept me in line
30:04
Speaker 2: with the Tanta claust list. And your favorite teams will
30:09
Speaker 2: be successful. So the Pirates and Steeler in the seventies.
30:13

30:28
Speaker 2: I had the Pirates sneaking in and beating the doctors
30:32
Speaker 2: in the playoffs.
30:33
Speaker 1: Oh so this is okay. I see. So this schoolbol
30:35
Speaker 1: trade screws your Pirates from winning the work. Now can
30:39

35:40
Speaker 1: who are under five hundred now they have apparently decided
35:43
Speaker 1: they're shopping Jacob de Gram who's old and always injured,
35:48
