0:35
Speaker 1: Sox play unacceptable and that happened while fans were calling
0:40
Speaker 1: for owner John Henry to sell the team. How do
0:44
Speaker 1: you process this if at all? Also, does this count
0:48
Speaker 1: as another dirty play by Padre star Manny Machado as
0:51
Speaker 1: he kicked the ball away on a play in the
0:54
Speaker 1: fourth inning of the game at Finway. We'll talk about
0:56
Speaker 1: that to fall out from people that are triggered by
0:59
Speaker 1: my shadow and did Angels. Outfielder Joe Adell, author the
1:05
Speaker 1: Greatest defensive game in the History of Baseball, goes back
1:10
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty something years the greatest game in
1:13
Speaker 1: baseball history for a defender, we'll talk about that as well.
1:16
Speaker 1: Right now here we go, we're going to strike a
1:19
Speaker 1: nerve in our number two. It is never too early
1:27
Speaker 1: to scream and shout welcome.
1:31

3:23
Speaker 2: On with that, we begin talk some baseball this hour.
3:26
Speaker 2: And one of the things about baseball that is both
3:31
Speaker 2: cool and annoying at the same time is the length
3:34
Speaker 2: of the season in baseball. It does not lend itself
3:38
Speaker 2: to good talk radio because it's like in the NFL,
3:41
Speaker 2: you lose one game. In the NFL, it's like losing
3:43
Speaker 2: ten games.
3:44
Speaker 1: In baseball, you don't have to wait for ten losses
3:48
Speaker 1: to get all worked up. And so then the standard
3:51
Speaker 1: and I watched these baseball games. I got them on
3:53
Speaker 1: in the background when I'm getting ready for the show
3:55
Speaker 1: and I'm futxing around, flipping from game to game, and
3:58
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you want to get really worked
3:59
Speaker 1: up into a lather. It's hard to do that when
4:02
Speaker 1: it's game nine of one hundred and sixty two. And
4:07
Speaker 1: they always have that old line, well, we've got to
4:09
Speaker 1: wait till forty games to find out what we have.
4:12
Speaker 1: And so okay, well, I have a talk show to
4:14
Speaker 1: do today. I can't wait forty games. I have to
4:16
Speaker 1: do a show today. I have to give commentary today.
4:18
Speaker 1: I don't get to wait till forty games. Imagine that
4:21
Speaker 1: you just do your job and you won't be judged
4:23
Speaker 1: on it for a month and a half. Well, that
4:26
Speaker 1: doesn't seem right, but that's what they do in baseball.
4:28
Speaker 1: That's what they do in baseball. So I bring this
4:30
Speaker 1: up because it doesn't always work that way. And in
4:33
Speaker 1: Boston they're already feeling it a little bit. Roman Anthony,
4:38
Speaker 1: great name, big contract, the greatest of starts for him
4:44
Speaker 1: and the fans in Boston. We're having none of it
4:47
Speaker 1: on a Sunday there, and Roman Anthony says he understands
4:53
Speaker 1: the grumbling from the Red Sox fan base as the
4:56
Speaker 1: Red Sox drop to two and seven to start the
5:00
Speaker 1: they are two and seven, we are nine games in,
5:03
Speaker 1: and there was rhythmic chanting at Finway, Sell the team,
5:08
Speaker 1: Sell the team. That chant broke out directed at owner
5:12
Speaker 1: John Henry. Rowan Anthony said, quote, we need to find
5:17
Speaker 1: a way to just bring more energy and just be better,
5:21
Speaker 1: Anthony told a gaggle of reporters after the Red Sox
5:25
Speaker 1: gagged away a four run lead loss to the Podres
5:29
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. Roman Anthony continued, said, quote this is unacceptable.
5:33
Speaker 1: It's unacceptable the fans, he said, it's unacceptable to the
5:37
Speaker 1: standard that we set for ourselves. Close quote all right,
5:41
Speaker 1: so that is a good jumping off point. Let us
5:44
Speaker 1: discuss the question Roman Anthony calling the Red Sox play
5:49
Speaker 1: unacceptable and the fans calling for owner John Henry to
5:53
Speaker 1: sell the team. How are you processing this if at all?
5:59
Speaker 1: Are you process I'm processing it? Are you processing it?
6:01
Speaker 3: Yeah?
6:02
Speaker 1: Okay? All right? Well, well we've got arches, situational awareness,
6:07
Speaker 1: and the Gatorade, and we will combine all of these
6:11
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make some magnificent,
6:16
Speaker 1: absolutely magnificent smash burgers. That's what we're gonna do, all right. So,
6:20
Speaker 1: first of all, Roman Anthony, who I believe is I
6:24
Speaker 1: think he's twenty one. I believe I'm right on that
6:26
Speaker 1: right around there, young cat, young cat there batting early
6:30
Speaker 1: on two thirty five. That doesn't seem all that great.
6:32
Speaker 1: You're a boomer, you'll care about batting average. His ops
6:35
Speaker 1: isn't very good either. And he's the only person, unless
6:39
Speaker 1: I missed it, he's the only person in that Red
6:40
Speaker 1: Sox clubhouse with the stones the Cajones to call out
6:45
Speaker 1: this unacceptable play. Where's the skipper, Alice Cora? What is
6:50
Speaker 1: he up to? I don't know. Somebody check on him.
6:52
Speaker 1: So the guy who hasn't even gotten his squad ready,
6:57
Speaker 1: Because clearly the Red Sox were not ready to begin
6:59
Speaker 1: to hear the way they're prefer the lifeless, monotonous Red
7:02
Speaker 1: Sox here to start the season. What exactly were they
7:05
Speaker 1: doing in the grapefruit legue where they like spearfishing? Like?
7:09
Speaker 1: What exactly was going on there? Either way? Much like
7:12
Speaker 1: the McDonald's Golden Arches, I am loving it. I love
7:17
Speaker 1: the angst I do. I enjoy this. I'm loving every
7:22
Speaker 1: second of it as a very rocky start for the
7:25
Speaker 1: Red Sox season, not as a hater of the Red Sox.
7:28
Speaker 1: I just enjoyed the theater. I like when people are uncomfortable.
7:31
Speaker 1: It's good for what I do. The whole thing just
7:35
Speaker 1: appears out a whack for the Red Sox. It's just
7:38
Speaker 1: clunky to begin the season. And I love that we're
7:41
Speaker 1: nine games in and fans are rhythmically chanting for a change.
7:45
Speaker 1: And it would appear that John Henry, the owner there,
7:48
Speaker 1: that that ownership group, they had this great desire to win.
7:53
Speaker 1: They won a bunch and now they're like, we're good.
7:56
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like from the outside. They've lost
7:59
Speaker 1: their edge. They're not going for it. They're happy just
8:03
Speaker 1: being a faux contender. And he's sitting on his yacht
8:07
Speaker 1: there and living large and all that and looking at
8:10
Speaker 1: all the nice trophies they won back in the day,
8:12
Speaker 1: and the last one was about ten years ago, close
8:15
Speaker 1: to it. Was it twenty eighteen against the Doyers. It's
8:20
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six now, so it's close to ten, and
8:22
Speaker 1: he's satisfied. And Roman Anthony though that quote when he
8:27
Speaker 1: talks about the Red Sox coming out there and not
8:30
Speaker 1: having enough energy. Well that's isn't that on the manager?
8:34
Speaker 1: Like the team's just lifeless and you got to get
8:37
Speaker 1: the team ready to go. Well, it's a long season
8:40
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Okay, it is a long season.
8:41
Speaker 1: They play like that. It's gonna be a lot longer
8:43
Speaker 1: of a season when you play like that, And they'll
8:46
Speaker 1: figure some stuff out at some point here and they'll
8:49
Speaker 1: they'll play better. But I do have them in that
8:51
Speaker 1: faux contender category. They don't appear to have nearly enough
8:54
Speaker 1: to go on this magic carpet ride in October. They're
8:58
Speaker 1: lacking the firepower, and they just, for some reason just
9:02
Speaker 1: gave away Rafael Devers. I have no problem trading Rafael Devers.
9:08
Speaker 1: Can't you get at least something in return that's any good?
9:11
Speaker 1: Like you just gave him like a donation to good will.
9:13
Speaker 1: You just gave him to the Giants, who also sucked.
9:15
Speaker 1: By the way, they're terrible. Is it the common denominator
9:19
Speaker 1: Rafael Devers? Meanwhile, secondly, we stay at Fenway the play
9:24
Speaker 1: of the day this week in Baseball Play the Day,
9:28
Speaker 1: So this video, I don't he saw it or heard
9:30
Speaker 1: about it. Manny Machado that's a baseball player, well paid
9:33
Speaker 1: baseball player for the Podres Manny Machado, who appeared to
9:36
Speaker 1: deliberately kick a ball away. It was he was at
9:41
Speaker 1: first base, he was running. He was an offensive player,
9:44
Speaker 1: so he was on the bases at first base. There
9:47
Speaker 1: was a pickoff attempt by the Red Sox catcher Carlos
9:51
Speaker 1: navarre Is, and he threw the ball down. It was
9:53
Speaker 1: a tag play. It was gonna be a tag play
9:55
Speaker 1: at first base. Machado's coming back to the bag. The
9:58
Speaker 1: first Basement's coming up behind me, Machado. The throat comes
10:01
Speaker 1: up and Machado kicks it. Now, he just kicks the
10:05
Speaker 1: ball like he's a soccer player trying to play in
10:07
Speaker 1: the World Cup. Kicks it away there and this thing
10:10
Speaker 1: went viral, the kickball. It sent the baseball into foul territory.
10:15
Speaker 1: So the ball is rolling off in foul territory and
10:17
Speaker 1: advanced Machado and the other Padre's runner, who both scored,
10:22
Speaker 1: and that helped the Padres come back and they eventually
10:24
Speaker 1: won that game. And there's a lot of I can't
10:29
Speaker 1: believe Machado did nutty so dirtyr nor no many Machada
10:35
Speaker 1: all right, So question does this count as another check
10:40
Speaker 1: mark on the big board. Not unless Terry in England,
10:43
Speaker 1: the Big Board of dirty play by Pidre's star Manny Machado,
10:49
Speaker 1: Does this count? So I am shaking my head.
10:53
Speaker 2: No.
10:55
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shake my head no. On this I go
10:56
Speaker 1: on a case by case basis. Manny Machado is usually
10:59
Speaker 1: and I went back my notes, and we've talked about
11:02
Speaker 1: him a lot. Played for the Dodgers briefly years ago,
11:05
Speaker 1: but many Macha. I think he played against the Red
11:06
Speaker 1: Sox in that World series, the twenty eighteen World Series. Anyway,
11:10
Speaker 1: Manny Machado is normally the chief architect of the malor
11:15
Speaker 1: monologue for all the wrong reasons. Did you hear what
11:19
Speaker 1: Manny Machado?
11:21
Speaker 2: Did you know?
11:21
Speaker 1: That kind of thing? That's its tone. Now, we've called
11:24
Speaker 1: him a loafer in the past when he was in Baltimore,
11:28
Speaker 1: a villain, a guy who plays the game often with
11:32
Speaker 1: the urgency of a sloth on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
11:38
Speaker 1: It's just lazy Sunday afternoon and all that. However, on
11:41
Speaker 1: this one, again we go case by case. On this one,
11:44
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna defend Manny Machada. I'm just calling it
11:48
Speaker 1: like I see it on this one. So looking at
11:50
Speaker 1: this particular play, on this play, I believe Machado on
11:54
Speaker 1: this one, he was a baseball mensa. He was quick reaction.
11:58
Speaker 1: Everyone's crying, dart nerdy dirty. It's because that's your default position,
12:02
Speaker 1: that's the default setting on Machado. And I get it.
12:05
Speaker 1: I'm I'm right. I'm usually right there with you. I'm
12:08
Speaker 1: going against the orthodoxy on this one, I am. But
12:12
Speaker 1: you look at it, and Machado, that was a smart play.
12:16
Speaker 1: Like people crying, you know that you don't understand the
12:20
Speaker 1: art of gamesmanship. And that's what that was. In real time.
12:25
Speaker 1: Machado saw a throw that was so ugly. How ugly
12:29
Speaker 1: was it? It was so ugly that it belonged in
12:33
Speaker 1: a museum for failures, and he capitalized on it, all right.
12:38
Speaker 1: That is called situational awareness. That's what you want. Machado
12:42
Speaker 1: had good situational awareness. He used a little sleight of hand,
12:46
Speaker 1: hocus pocus, just like that, and and he did it.
12:49
Speaker 1: And Machado, you want to put the defense on their heels.
12:55
Speaker 1: You want to make them make plays, right, that's to
12:57
Speaker 1: make them make plays because a lot of these guys,
12:58
Speaker 1: you know they're they're gifted in he made the major leagues.
13:00
Speaker 1: They'll screw it up, they'll lef it up. So Machado
13:03
Speaker 1: put the Red Sox defense into a blender and hit
13:06
Speaker 1: the pulse button on the blender and it worked. He
13:09
Speaker 1: knew exactly where the line was and danced on it
13:12
Speaker 1: like a tightrope walker. So it's not dirty. Machado has
13:17
Speaker 1: done dirty. Asked Dustin Pedroia about that. He's done dirty.
13:22
Speaker 1: He plays on the edges. He's on the spectrum Machado
13:26
Speaker 1: all the time. And with the umpires, this is more
13:30
Speaker 1: on the umpires than it is on Manny Machado. All right, Now,
13:33
Speaker 1: Machado turned a lemon and added He took a lemon
13:37
Speaker 1: and he squeezed it and he added some sugar, and
13:39
Speaker 1: he got lemonade for the padres. And so that's on
13:43
Speaker 1: the umpires. It is technically an illegal play. It's a
13:45
Speaker 1: judgment play. Though the umpires had in their judgment they
13:50
Speaker 1: decided it wasn't a dirty place. It was just a
13:51
Speaker 1: bad pro And so Machado was able to continue on
13:55
Speaker 1: and he would have been out if that had happened
13:57
Speaker 1: the other way. So for once, Manny Machado was not
14:00
Speaker 1: the arsonist in this and he was the smartest guy
14:04
Speaker 1: in the ballpark on that play. On that play, all right, Meanwhile,
14:08
Speaker 1: final fo to Anaheim. We go. Yeah, it's gonna take
14:12
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot for us to talk about
14:14
Speaker 1: an Angel Mariner game, But that happened so over the weekend.
14:18
Speaker 1: I happened to flip this game on at the perfect time.
14:21
Speaker 1: So the Final four, let's be honest here, it was
14:24
Speaker 1: not the most exciting final four we've ever had. It
14:26
Speaker 1: was a bunch of crap games, la la la. But
14:30
Speaker 1: we have the championship game and night. We'll talk more
14:32
Speaker 1: about that next hour. So anyway, the basely, I flipped
14:33
Speaker 1: over to the baseball game because that was the only
14:35
Speaker 1: thing going on really that night. The other baseball games
14:37
Speaker 1: weren't competitive. This was a one nothing game. It was
14:39
Speaker 1: getting late in the game, and I flipped over to
14:42
Speaker 1: our former Fox Sports radio colleague here Gooby Mark Goob
14:46
Speaker 1: is all longtime Angel broadcaster, but he worked here back
14:48
Speaker 1: in the day. And Ween Randazzo, I think, is he
14:53
Speaker 1: going back to the Mets. I don't have rumors. I
14:55
Speaker 1: guess Howie Rose is retiring the Mets broadcaster. Some rumors
14:58
Speaker 1: he might go back to the Mets, but who knows.
15:00
Speaker 1: That's just bull crap. Anyway, So I'm watching this thing
15:02
Speaker 1: and I'm like, whatever, I'm not really into it. It's
15:04
Speaker 1: kind of on, you know. I had a buddy over.
15:06
Speaker 1: We were contemplating life and talking about life and things
15:09
Speaker 1: like that, and the game was on and they showed
15:11
Speaker 1: Joe Adele go up and make a couple of catches
15:14
Speaker 1: and high. I didn't see this live. The two the
15:17
Speaker 1: first two and then the third one happened. I saw
15:20
Speaker 1: it on my boob tube. I was like, wow, dude.
15:24
Speaker 1: And now I've seen I used to cover the Angels
15:26
Speaker 1: and I've seen players jump over the fence to try
15:29
Speaker 1: to catch home runs. But that was magical. Now, jo
15:32
Speaker 1: Adell was the talk of Baseball for the web gems
15:35
Speaker 1: over the weekend, taking away not one, not two, but
15:38
Speaker 1: three home runs. So the question, did Angels outfielder Joe
15:41
Speaker 1: Adele just author the greatest defensive game in baseball history.
15:48
Speaker 1: So normally, normally, much like with Manny Machado, my position
15:53
Speaker 1: has been, you know, i'd say, pump the brakes. Don't
15:56
Speaker 1: be a prisoner of the moment. What are you doing
15:57
Speaker 1: that's my normal position. Those are my default settings, and
16:03
Speaker 1: on this one, though not today, I don't know how
16:08
Speaker 1: you could argue any other way. So this is a
16:11
Speaker 1: major plot twist. Three Are you kidding me? Three home
16:16
Speaker 1: run robberies in one game, not one, not two, but
16:19
Speaker 1: three by the same player. Is out there Joe Adell
16:23
Speaker 1: drinking the radioactive gatorade that helped him develop supernatural abilities. Now,
16:30
Speaker 1: the first two I think I could have done. The
16:32
Speaker 1: last one I could not have done. On the three
16:34
Speaker 1: home run takeaways, it was wild. He turned into a
16:38
Speaker 1: human fly swatter, snatching ding dongs out of the sky
16:43
Speaker 1: in Anaheim. He was working the night shift at a
16:46
Speaker 1: mosquito convention. He was out there doing it, and cal
16:50
Speaker 1: Raley off to a miserable start. He had a home
16:53
Speaker 1: run taken away Josh Naylor, and the last one the
16:56
Speaker 1: JP Crawford that would have been a home run that
16:59
Speaker 1: was in that short corner, short fence corner in right
17:02
Speaker 1: field in Anaheim. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
17:07
Speaker 1: Now it's the greatest single defensive game performance in baseball history.
17:14
Speaker 1: True regular season, I am nodding yes. Regular season, I
17:18
Speaker 1: am nodding yes. However, while you cannot debate that it
17:23
Speaker 1: will not stay in the memory bank because of the
17:26
Speaker 1: fact it was a regular season game on a Saturday
17:28
Speaker 1: night late against the Mariners, and so that does not
17:32
Speaker 1: stand the test of time. It's one of those things.
17:35
Speaker 1: Do you remember when Joe Adell did it. I didn't
17:38
Speaker 1: see it, but I saw the clips on the internet,
17:41
Speaker 1: and so that kind of counts and all that as like,
17:44
Speaker 1: none of us saw Willie Mays with that catch. I
17:48
Speaker 1: think it was in the nineteen fifty four World Series.
17:50
Speaker 1: But if you're a baseball fan, you've heard about it, right,
17:53
Speaker 1: You've seen the clip online, the grainy black and white
17:55
Speaker 1: film there in New York where he runs back and
17:58
Speaker 1: he's not even looking and he the over catches it
18:01
Speaker 1: over his head and all that stuff. Or I would
18:03
Speaker 1: argue in Angels. Angels have had one thing they had
18:05
Speaker 1: a lot of is really good defensive players. When I
18:08
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, they had a guy named
18:09
Speaker 1: Gary Pettis. It was really good. And then when I
18:12
Speaker 1: was covering the team, they had a guy named Von
18:14
Speaker 1: White who was awesome, and Jim Edmonds, who for me,
18:17
Speaker 1: was the greatest defensive center fielder I ever saw. Was
18:20
Speaker 1: Jim Edmonds. No matter what kind of goodies he was taking.
18:23
Speaker 1: He was very good. And he continued that with the
18:25
Speaker 1: Cardinals when he went to Saint Louis and so and
18:28
Speaker 1: there's been plenty of other ken Griffy Junior leaping or
18:33
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson with the bazooka, and go on and on
18:36
Speaker 1: of Vladimir Guerrero chucking the ball back in the day,
18:40
Speaker 1: so different zip codes. It's regular season. It's a random
18:45
Speaker 1: night early in the season. But hey, you look at that,
18:48
Speaker 1: and someone's gonna have to take away four home runs
18:51
Speaker 1: in a game for that to have tip to beat
18:54
Speaker 1: Joe Adell, like even he get three, one of the
18:57
Speaker 1: odds are in the right place at the right time
18:58
Speaker 1: for three players hit the ball. All that just kind
19:01
Speaker 1: of go out, but they don't go all the way out,
19:03
Speaker 1: and they're they're that gray area where you could get it.
19:06
Speaker 1: You know, everything has to be perfect, everything has to
19:09
Speaker 1: be lined up perfect for that to work. And it
19:10
Speaker 1: was so triple wow and a tip of the headphones
19:14
Speaker 1: and wow, the Seattle Tridents. That's a tough one. That's
19:20
Speaker 1: a tough one, all right. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

22:30
Speaker 1: of the things we have to look forward to as
22:33
Speaker 1: we go through. And let's see what do we have
22:36
Speaker 1: here page then Ben Shannon Moys has been leave Murray
22:42
Speaker 1: alone and just be grateful that our teams got to
22:47
Speaker 1: pick on him twice a year for so many years.
22:50
Speaker 1: Shane is a Seahawks fan. Live again, Shane, I have
22:55
Speaker 1: to do the talk show, so I added Kyler Murray
22:57
Speaker 1: comes up in conversation, and he's a lot of fun
23:00
Speaker 1: to goof on because it's ridiculous that he was the
23:02
Speaker 1: top pick in the draft, and it's equally ridiculous that
23:06
Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't really like football that much isn't
23:08
Speaker 1: very good at football. Ends up getting another opportunity in Minnesota.
23:13
Speaker 4: What he like?
23:14
Speaker 1: How much does he have to show you that he
23:15
Speaker 1: doesn't really like playing football, He's not particularly good at it,
23:19
Speaker 1: and you keep giving him opportuniti It's very odd. Alf
23:22
Speaker 1: the Alien o Piner writes in from near the home
23:26
Speaker 1: park of the Wusacks, where hopefully Alf wi be there.
23:29
Speaker 1: I don't know the rumors he might be there. I
23:31
Speaker 1: don't know if we can afford to pay him his appearance.
23:33
Speaker 1: Fee's a big star, Alf the Alien of Piner. Alf
23:36
Speaker 1: says John Henry and his group strive for mediocrity when
23:40
Speaker 1: just enough to keep the Suckers coming back game after game.
23:43
Speaker 1: They have a bottom line and won't spend a penny more.
23:47
Speaker 1: Say what you want about Alex Bregman, but he was
23:51
Speaker 1: the leader of a young group and his absence is
23:54
Speaker 1: being felt. Well, I'll have a lot to say about Bregman.
23:57
Speaker 1: You know that Alf, he's a cheating yes, one one
24:01
Speaker 1: thousand and two, one thousand ohs? What he is? What
24:07
Speaker 1: else do we have to see? Page? Then, Fat Daddy,
24:09
Speaker 1: you know it's a big night. When Fat Daddy writes in,
24:11
Speaker 1: he says, Ben, it looks like you're finally seeing the
24:15
Speaker 1: light with the angels. What is there to see? The
24:18
Speaker 1: daddy I did, I said one nice thing about them.
24:21
Speaker 1: Don't don't ruin my reputation, fat daddy. It was the
24:25
Speaker 1: Joe Show Saturday night, taking away three home runs, great performance,
24:29
Speaker 1: amazing game and a shutout. I'm aware of that. Just
24:34
Speaker 1: Josh from Cincinnati. He will be there at the Malor
24:38
Speaker 1: meet and get the rumor is he will be there.
24:40
Speaker 1: My reaction, along with the United States Postal Service finding
24:43
Speaker 1: out that Robbie the Mariner fan was on the fifth
24:46
Speaker 1: Hour mail Bag edition this week A bulk weight open
24:49
Speaker 1: the envelope, must listen, do not return to sender. None
24:55
Speaker 1: of that. Robbie was very good. Robbie was very like.
24:58
Speaker 1: I've worked with people in radio that we're not as
25:00
Speaker 1: good as Robbie like he was really good. Like I
25:03
Speaker 1: was blown away by how good Robbie was on the Mailbag.
25:05
Speaker 1: You did a good job, Michael Wrights and says the
25:07
Speaker 1: Red Sox are going to need a couple more weeks
25:10
Speaker 1: for their manager to get their trash can rotation working
25:13
Speaker 1: just right. They have they moved on out of whistles
25:16
Speaker 1: or are they still using the old tech that's old
25:19
Speaker 1: tech to trash cans. That's old tech, the trash cans.
25:23
Speaker 1: Manuel in Guardena rights in. He says, I feel for
25:26
Speaker 1: Coop the loop. Joe Adell should be celebrated for three
25:31
Speaker 1: home run robberies in the game. But you know what
25:34
Speaker 1: that means. The Angels piss poor excuse for a scouting
25:38
Speaker 1: department doesn't stop drafting gas cans who are six starters
25:45
Speaker 1: at best. You pukes. Angel pitching blows. I was having
25:51
Speaker 1: this conversation when I was with my gambling buddy Hunter.
25:54
Speaker 1: We were watching the Angels managers. We watched the final four,
25:57
Speaker 1: made some tacos, we watched the final or Trisha food
26:01
Speaker 1: and so we were watching the Final four, and then
26:04
Speaker 1: the Angel game went on. We're like, is that Drew
26:07
Speaker 1: Pomerants the Pomeranian? Like this is like gonna say, you're
26:13
Speaker 1: not When you have Drew Pomerants in your on your
26:15
Speaker 1: pitching type, that is a sign you're not trying to win.
26:18
Speaker 1: That is a sign. Hey, we're just trying to get
26:20
Speaker 1: a guy that maybe he'll pitch well for a couple
26:22
Speaker 1: of months and then when the Yankees and the Dodgers
26:25
Speaker 1: and the Cubs and these other teams burn through their bullpen,
26:29
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need new relief pitching because that happens
26:31
Speaker 1: every year. Right, you have your first half bullpen and
26:34
Speaker 1: then you have your second half bullpen, and yeah, that's
26:38
Speaker 1: how you do it. And the Angels have a lot
26:40
Speaker 1: of those guys on the team like they're only really
26:42
Speaker 1: there so they can repackage them to someone else at
26:47
Speaker 1: the deadline. Those guys that are just kind of hanging out,
26:51
Speaker 1: Jordan Romano, guys like that, Drew Pomerance. Go down the
26:56
Speaker 1: big board, down the big board, I score the phones,
27:00
Speaker 1: Eny meany miny mo. Who should we go to? Let's
27:03
Speaker 1: see here, all right, you know I'm gonna bump. I'm
27:06
Speaker 1: gonna bump Lee up to the front, Lee, Lee and Ford.
27:09
Speaker 1: He's got some hot Manny Machado takes Hello Lee, Well, Lee, Hello, Lee,
27:14
Speaker 1: Welcome Lee.
27:16
Speaker 5: Thanks made for taking my call. Hey listen, Yeah, well,
27:20
Speaker 5: first time we get this out of the way. I
27:21
Speaker 5: picked you Ukon for the final four.
27:23
Speaker 1: God bless you. We need them to win. America needs you. Cod.
27:26
Speaker 1: Here we go, you Cod, here we go, Here we go,
27:30
Speaker 1: you Cad, here we go. Lee.
27:33
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you the story behind that is because
27:35
Speaker 5: coach Calhoun back in the day. See, he coached at
27:38
Speaker 5: Northeastern University. When I went there, ah okay, and coach Northeastern.
27:43
Speaker 5: Their mascot is the Husky, of which when Calhoun went
27:47
Speaker 5: to Yukon, uh, and then he continued to be Husky.
27:51
Speaker 5: He didn't have to become Hosky Easterly.
27:53
Speaker 1: Well, do you remember the great I'm sure you do,
27:55
Speaker 1: because you know Jim Calhoun, the greatest rant ever. Do
27:58
Speaker 1: you remember he had he had a melt down as
28:00
Speaker 1: coach at Yukon. Do you remember this? Oh?
28:03
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, absolutely. In fact, I was gonna remember that
28:07
Speaker 5: because we got the big rant of the Cubs fans
28:11
Speaker 5: rant coming up soon. No.
28:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, April twenty ninth is the anniversary lee Ilia with
28:16
Speaker 1: their eighty five percent of the world's working. The other
28:18
Speaker 1: fifteen percent come out here. It's a playground for the
28:20
Speaker 1: plank blake go and get a real job. The rest
28:22
Speaker 1: of the world's working now, because there's video of cub
28:27
Speaker 1: fans that are out there on their laptops just working
28:30
Speaker 1: in the bleachers, not even watching the game. But it's
28:32
Speaker 1: pretty funny. But Jim Calhoun, for those kiddos who are
28:35
Speaker 1: are not as seasoned as you and I ley, they
28:37
Speaker 1: don't understand Jim Calhoun. Back in the day, some reporter
28:41
Speaker 1: asked him about his contract and he went on a
28:44
Speaker 1: tie rad a rampage, not a dimeback, not a dime back.
28:49
Speaker 1: He started screaming. It was really good. It's on YouTube.
28:52
Speaker 1: You can look it up if you're interested in that
28:53
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So, yeah, I got you cut. I
28:56
Speaker 1: got a lot riding on this. And it's yeah because
29:00
Speaker 1: in the bracket here at worked, I win the bracket
29:03
Speaker 1: if Yukon wins, If I lose, Colin Coward wins the bracket,
29:07
Speaker 1: it's me versus Coward. I need to win. I need the.
29:12
Speaker 5: Win something to serve the basketball guys. But let me
29:16
Speaker 5: finish up here real quick with you with this Manny
29:19
Speaker 5: Machado play. Hey, you know, you know that reminded me
29:22
Speaker 5: of some other thing you gets in the second But
29:25
Speaker 5: you know that whole thing is about the catcher and
29:27
Speaker 5: the first basement. You got to catch the ball first
29:29
Speaker 5: and tag him out. So clearly, if that ball is
29:32
Speaker 5: hitting him in the leg or he's hitting the ball
29:34
Speaker 5: with the leg, it didn't get to the first basement.
29:37
Speaker 5: So it was really the like I say, the first
29:38
Speaker 5: basement and a catcher. The problem not his problem. He
29:41
Speaker 5: can do what he wants to kick the ball to
29:43
Speaker 5: high have to kick the ball over to the turnpike.
29:45
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well technically you're that that was an illegal
29:50
Speaker 1: it's a judgment call, but you're not allowed to do that.
29:53
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with your sentiment, but like if
29:57
Speaker 1: you go by the rule book, you can't. You can't
30:00
Speaker 1: interfere with the ball like that. He intentionally kicked it.
30:02
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do that. But that's said. I
30:04
Speaker 1: thought it was. I thought it was a smart play
30:06
Speaker 1: because the umpires let him get away with it.
30:08
Speaker 5: So how is he interfering with the play when you,
30:11
Speaker 5: like I said, you have to be tagged out. You can't.
30:14
Speaker 5: You can't throw the ball at the player, you know,
30:17
Speaker 5: expect him to be out.
30:18
Speaker 1: Well, as I understand the rule, you're not allowed to
30:20
Speaker 1: kick the ball like that, because it does look like
30:22
Speaker 1: he looked down, saw the ball, timed it perfectly, and
30:24
Speaker 1: just kicked it like he was Peley or something like that. So, uh,
30:27
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta update my soccer references. MESSI he
30:31
Speaker 1: kicked it like messy. He kicked it like messy.
30:34
Speaker 5: What to me? It's not the same play as you
30:37
Speaker 5: running down the first base and then getting hit with
30:39
Speaker 5: the ball.
30:40
Speaker 1: Now, would you want me, I can go to the
30:41
Speaker 1: rule book. If you want, I will go to the
30:43
Speaker 1: rule book. Do you want me to go, I will
30:44
Speaker 1: go to the rule book. If you want me to
30:46
Speaker 1: go to the rule book, I will do that. According
30:49
Speaker 1: to according to MLB, I've got a rubbuck. MLB rules
30:53
Speaker 1: on runner interference uh state that if a runner deliberately
30:57
Speaker 1: or intentionally kicks a batter or throwing ball when fielder
31:00
Speaker 1: has a play, it can be ruled interference, resulting in
31:03
Speaker 1: the runner being ruled out. The ball would be dead
31:07
Speaker 1: and so yeah.
31:09
Speaker 5: But it can be well, once again, if he's if
31:12
Speaker 5: he's coming back to first base, Okay, that first baseman's
31:16
Speaker 5: gonna be there to catch the ball.
31:18
Speaker 1: Okay, well he was behind the first as you know,
31:20
Speaker 1: he was behind the play the first basement.
31:22
Speaker 5: Exactly exactly, So it's really the blame goes on. But
31:25
Speaker 5: if the umpire got it right, the blame goes on
31:27
Speaker 5: a first baseman that catch catches should not be throwing
31:29
Speaker 5: that ball down there. If the first baseman ain't they
31:31
Speaker 5: to catch the ball thos, Yeah.
31:33
Speaker 1: But the reason you throw down is because Mchild's got
31:35
Speaker 1: a reputation from not being the most the guy that
31:39
Speaker 1: hustles the most. So you figure you catch him napping
31:42
Speaker 1: like Francisco lindor napping or whatever, you can pick him
31:45
Speaker 1: off that way. I understand why you would throw down there,
31:47
Speaker 1: but you got to make a better throw than that.
31:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, anyway, but it reminds me is what it reminds
31:51
Speaker 5: me of. It reminds me of the old Redstocks blaming
31:54
Speaker 5: Bill Buckner for the eighty six okay, when it was
31:58
Speaker 5: not bill Buckner was the problem. It was Clemens in
32:01
Speaker 5: Sharwal that was the problem that we lost the eighty
32:04
Speaker 5: six world there itself.
32:06
Speaker 1: Well, so as a kid, I remember Calvin Shirldi crying
32:10
Speaker 1: on the bench. So that's one of my memories.
32:13
Speaker 5: But Clemens and GERALDI goddess in the world there.
32:15
Speaker 1: So what was it like back in the nineteen hundreds,
32:18
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred magical time, those nineteen hundreds, it really was
32:21
Speaker 1: all right, Well, thank you, I gotta go. But they're
32:24
Speaker 1: regularly there in the Sunshine State checking in. We have
32:32
Speaker 1: Malardly third degree that'll be coming up here in a
32:35
Speaker 1: little bit. Also have the insta, the insta trivia. Well,
32:40
Speaker 1: the guy winning the lottery twice in many ways. See
32:46
Speaker 1: does anyone know this? I got a name for you.
32:50
Speaker 1: I want to see if you know the name and
32:52
Speaker 1: why this particular person is. He's winning, He's winning it life.
32:57
Speaker 1: Do you know who Derek Green is? You don't know
33:00
Speaker 1: who Derek Green is. So Derek Green is engaged to
33:06
Speaker 1: the heiress of the chiefs Paris Hilton, Gracie Hunt, the
33:13
Speaker 1: daughter of the Chief's owner, Clark Hunt, who announced, I
33:16
Speaker 1: guess over the weekend her engagement to boyfriend Derek Green.
33:22
Speaker 1: She's twenty seven and I don't really know much about
33:25
Speaker 1: her other than I guess he ends up in the
33:27
Speaker 1: tabots a lot However, the reason I bring this up,
33:29
Speaker 1: this guy Derek Green. You talk about winning, so he
33:31
Speaker 1: was born into a millionaire his father. If you're of
33:36
Speaker 1: a certain age, you know who this guy is. Trent Green.
33:38
Speaker 1: Trent Green is the guy that got Wally. He also
33:41
Speaker 1: got Wally pipped. He was Wally pipped. He was the
33:44
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Saint Louis Rams got hurt in training camp,
33:48
Speaker 1: and this guy named Kurt Warner, who no one had
33:50
Speaker 1: ever heard of, replaced Trent Green and would go on
33:53
Speaker 1: to have a Hall of Fame career, and Trent Green
33:56
Speaker 1: was the guy that got hurt. Bro was kid. Derek
33:59
Speaker 1: Green is now engaged to the daughter of the Chief's owner.
34:04
Speaker 1: So that's how about that you're born to a millionaire
34:08
Speaker 1: and you marry she's gonna be a billionaire, she's gonna
34:10
Speaker 1: inherit all that money, money, money, money, good for them, Yeah,
34:13
Speaker 1: I guess. So that's like Stan Kronke who was also
34:16
Speaker 1: rich leading and he was made a lot of money
34:18
Speaker 1: in real estate and he married into the Walmart family.
34:20
Speaker 1: He owns the Rams. Imagine that combining super rich guy
34:26

38:55
Speaker 1: Let's go Zonker's kop.
38:57
Speaker 3: Then the Seahawks will be one of the teams featured
38:59
Speaker 3: on Hard Knocks this year, and Seahawks GM John Snyder
39:04
Speaker 3: appeared on a podcast or a radio show and he
39:07
Speaker 3: said they will be protective of like how we do

Speaker 3: things and what our culture looks like. We're gonna make

Speaker 3: much information as we can. Ben, do you think other
39:16
Speaker 3: teams actually watch Hard Knocks to get a leg up on.
39:19
Speaker 1: Well, they did watch it, but it's it's ridiculous. You
39:22
Speaker 1: don't get anything from it. Here's why. It's filtered by NFL.
39:26
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, something will slip past the gate,
39:28
Speaker 1: so you watch it, but it's heavily edited by NFL
39:32
Speaker 1: films and it's state media. They're not gonna put anything
39:34
Speaker 1: on there. It's gonna damage the team intentionally. They're not
39:37
Speaker 1: gonna do it.

39:51
Speaker 1: think this year is yeah? Absolutely, Todd Bowles of the
39:54
Speaker 1: hot seat. They were people saying he should be fired.
39:56
Speaker 1: Last year, they didn't get rid of him. They kept
39:58
Speaker 1: him around. If the Bucks are me Yore again, they're
40:00
Speaker 1: gonna make a change, they have to make it. That's
40:02
Speaker 1: why it works. Ten coaches a year get fired.
40:05
Speaker 3: Next Luka, Doncik won't be eligible for MVP because he
40:07
Speaker 3: ends the season with sixty four games.
