- 0:20spot by 1 1/2 games. In the Wild Card picture, Ken
- 0:24Boone and the Yankees get back to their savage ways.
- 0:27Luka Doncic was extended by the Los Angeles Lakers to much
- 0:31fanfare this weekend, noticeably absent at the press conference.
- 0:35LeBron James Is LeBron going to be in La La land much longer as
- 0:40the Lakers pivot from the LJA to the Luka Time Lakers.

- 0:48pen, we will crack a six pack with Speedy and then dial it up
- 0:52to 11 on another brand spanking new live edition of Jabba and
- 0:57the mouth you're going to give him.
- 1:00A. Significant You're going to have
- 1:02a ton of money to spend. Why not putting in one of the
- 1:05top three offensive? Players in the league.
- 1:15We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
- 1:17can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
- 1:20I played 82 games. You don't see LeBron doing.
- 1:23That a game where you got to go. Before.
- 1:25I told you, Giant fans, Saquon Barkley at.

- 3:31You just heard them, Mr. Aaron Fish Fishman, our executive
- 3:34producer board OPS and producing right in the background, Mr.
- 3:39Tommy Poops. Mr. Nick Goody will be joining
- 3:41us once again. He's been out in Cleveland doing
- 3:45the pre gamut post game show for the Guardians over the last past
- 3:48week. So we're very happy to have him
- 3:50back a little bit later in the show.
- 3:52Yes, Mr. Nathan, our PR guy is hiding.
- 3:55He's lurking. Our interns and everything.
- 3:58Jabba, how was your weekend, man?
- 3:59We were celebrating speedies. Finally did it right like you
- 4:05took the. Weekend.
- 4:06We did. Did he get his?
- 4:08Did he have his dancing shoes on?
- 4:10Yes, he danced a little bit. I, I will say this DJ Theo was
- 4:14out and, and doing his thing over there at Flynn.
- 4:18So I, I didn't like the crowd. It was craziness.
- 4:21A lot of the older, younger crowd and you couldn't move in
- 4:25the place, so you really couldn't enjoy the music.
- 4:27I was it was a bad weekend to go over there to Fire Island.
- 4:31But yes, Speedy was doing his little jiggling and twerking and
- 4:35whatever the hell you call it as he's doing the crab dance.
- 4:39That's what I call it. Speedy's Crab.
- 4:41Dance perspective. I was lucky if I had that much
- 4:44room at that place. You didn't have any room, but
- 4:47you don't know where to stand, Speedy.
- 4:49I kept moving you in so many different positions because this
- 4:52kid would let everybody walk through him.
- 4:54I'm standing right there. I'm like, stand here so nobody
- 4:57gets around our circle. You know what Speedy does?
- 5:00He turns around. I think he was looking at ladies
- 5:02asses. That's what I think he was doing
- 5:04because it made no sense when we were trying to to kind of close
- 5:09up the circle. So nobody was bugging the hell
- 5:12out of me and I was trying to enjoy the music.
- 5:14And by the way, I used to love DJ Theo.
- 5:17I'm not going to take shots at him on this show because he's
- 5:20done wonders for the house, you know, region here in New York.
- 5:25He was one time, one time the best DJ in the country.
- 5:29Yes, he was voted best DJ in the country.
- 5:31I think it was about 10 years ago and then he had kids and
- 5:34then he kind of disappeared for a little while.
- 5:37But now he's back in the scene and doing his thing.
- 5:40I got to give him a little bit of credit.
- 5:42I just don't like that old music or even some of the new mixes
- 5:45that he's putting out there. I just, I, I don't know, I'm
- 5:47not, I'm a DJ and I'm not a big. Fan of it.
- 5:49Did you like the drum guy though?
- 5:50I thought he was pretty good. I actually know.
- 5:53So I actually reached out to him after we left and I just wanted
- 5:57to tell him I couldn't really speak to him or even have a
- 6:00conversation with him because they're people.
- 6:02Like when you're there and you're the center of attention,
- 6:05you have like some kind of like you're like some superstar and
- 6:08you think you're a superstar. You know what I mean?
- 6:10You're standing there and you know, and I, I just something
- 6:15turned me off about the people there.
- 6:17I don't know what it was. Maybe the fact that people were
- 6:20stepping on you and throwing things and those stupid
- 6:24volleyballs, whatever the hell they.
- 6:25There's three different beach balls, Yeah.
- 6:27Can't move. And like they were stepping on
- 6:29you. Jabba, they were stepping on us.
- 6:31I, I, I, the, the people, people there were just so rude and
- 6:35disrespectful. And I, I walked away from one of
- 6:37the guys and I kind of kind of kind of give him a shoulder.
- 6:40You know, when you're walking away from somebody and give him
- 6:42like a little nudge, like get the hell out of my way.
- 6:44That's what I did. And nobody messed with Speedy,
- 6:47but I was teaching Speedy how to keep his hands in his.
- 6:50Pockets. Pockets.
- 6:51That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
- 6:53I was training him to be what, Speedy.
- 6:57Like a puppet? It was my puppet, Sir.
- 6:59We'll go with that. He was my puppet, but I actually
- 7:02had a chance when I was on the ferry.
- 7:04I was looking up Jabba Chamberlain, looking at
- 7:06statistics and trying to compare his statistics to Ian Kennedy
- 7:10and Philip Hughes and I came upon this 9 minute video which
- 7:15was posted up four years ago called The Summer of Jabba.
- 7:19You can check it out on YouTube and it is a 9 minute and 46
- 7:25second love fest for Jabba Chamberlain.
- 7:28Yes, this kid who and by the way, it was about 5-6 thousand
- 7:31people checked it out and viewed it.
- 7:33It was like a love fest no matter how much trials and
- 7:37tribulations you had over a 3 1/2 year span.
- 7:42Jabba, he was comparing your numbers to some of the greatest
- 7:44pictures of all time And, and some of those numbers really
- 7:48were interesting when a guy like you who didn't give up an earned
- 7:52run in like I think it was, I don't remember exactly, but it
- 7:57was like Four Seasons. You didn't give up an earned run
- 7:59in like a certain amount of time and you had like 40 strikeouts
- 8:04when you came into the major leagues without any walks or
- 8:07something like that. It was some ridiculous number.
- 8:10And I don't remember what he was saying.
- 8:11I wish I I should have wrote it down before I came on the show,
- 8:15but check it out. It's called the summer of Jabba.
- 8:18It's actually really, really good.
- 8:20It's, it's at the 9 minute documentary of Jabba
- 8:23Chamberlain's career rolled up in 9 1/2 minutes.
- 8:27So, and by the way, his I, I think his Gmail has your number
- 8:33and Derek Jeter's number, his two favorite players growing up
- 8:37as, as a Yankee fan. So yours and Derek Jeter's
- 8:40number was at the back of his e-mail address.
- 8:44So pretty interesting. I actually enjoyed it.
- 8:47I got a got a chance to get to know you a little bit better
- 8:50behind the scenes. I mean, in his size at least.
- 8:53But it was fun. It was, it was a cool time.
- 8:55We actually had a BBQ after that.
- 8:57We went over there to Brittany's house and and had a barbecue and
- 9:00and then we had a cake and we sang happy birthday to the one
- 9:03and only speedster. What kind of cake?
- 9:06Ice cream cake. Ice cream cake.
- 9:08Carvel yes. Can't go wrong with.
- 9:10That no, don't. Worry.
- 9:11Don't worry Java. I had my sausage too.
- 9:13Yes, he had his nice nice sausage, long and thin it.
- 9:17Was actually it was actually cheddar infused.
- 9:19Yes, you like that, right Speedy?
- 9:21Did you dance it back? Did you like have like this like
- 9:23love fetish for that cheddar? You know, you brought it home.
- 9:25You brought it home. Did you feed did you feed it to
- 9:27granny? No, you didn't feed it to
- 9:29granny. No, no, I, I'm.
- 9:31Surprised the the jalapeno cheddar sauce like we have those
- 9:35here like because we have a bunch of like meat lockers like
- 9:37in small towns and stuff. So they they always usually have
- 9:41some good. Stuff that's interesting.
- 9:42I have to see if I ever. I've never seen that one, How I
- 9:44know jalapeno cheddar, the flavor.
- 9:45I've never seen it in a sausage concert.
- 9:46Speedy, did you just pop lock and drop it last night when you
- 9:49went home to Granny? What did you pop lock and drop
- 9:52it? I don't know what that means.
- 9:54Show us your pop lock and drop it.
- 9:55Why don't you show? I don't have no idea.
- 9:56Stand up and show us your pop lock and drop it.
- 9:58I don't know what the context. Just show us with hands what you
- 10:01would do if you were pop lock and drop it.
- 10:03I have no just show a hand. I have no idea what it.
- 10:08Is what the hell is this? Oh, by the way, since we have
- 10:12Snug in the comments section, Snug, you would love Brittany's
- 10:15house. There's eight different cats
- 10:16there. Oh God.
- 10:18Please police. 8 cats man, 8 cats in one big room.
- 10:22It's just I'm deathly allergic to cats, so I when you're
- 10:27walking there, I have to take like allergy pills or I'm going
- 10:30to break out and just absolutely fall over.
- 10:32Yes, there it is. There's Keith in the corner and
- 10:35P Diddy crossed out in any kind of way.
- 10:37But yeah, it was it was fun. Sunday was fun.
- 10:41It was an interesting weekend. I actually emceed a big wedding,
- 10:44enjoyed it. I like to thank the family.
- 10:47I'm not going to mention any names.
- 10:48I don't want to, if they don't want me to mention any names,
- 10:51I'm not going to mention any names.
- 10:52But I had a very good time over there at the Essex Country Club
- 10:56in Brentwood, NY, so I I did have a good time.
- 10:58Thank you young little Frankie for twirling in.
- 11:03What is it Burling? Or whatever it is.
- 11:05Anyways, at 8:45, we'll be talking to former 11 year MLB
- 11:10outfielder Jason Michaels will be joining us.
- 11:13Played and he's been on a show before.
- 11:15Played from 2001 to 2011 with the Phillies, the Guardians, the
- 11:20Pirates and the Astros. And ladies and gentlemen, it's
- 11:24been a long weekend for the New York Yankees as they were just
- 11:30swept by the lonely Florida Marlins.
- 11:34This weekend, the New York Yankees were swept by the Miami
- 11:37Marlins, dropping them behind the Red Sox right into third
- 11:42place in the American League East.
- 11:44Both Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez ripped the Yankees
- 11:48play on Saturday during the rain delay at Bristol Motor Speedway
- 11:52on Fox, with Jeter saying the Yankees make it to make too many
- 11:57mistakes and a rod take shots at Jazz Chisholm for a horrific
- 12:02base running mistake, saying that his ERA Jazz would have
- 12:07been benched for it. Manager Aaron Boone said it is a
- 12:10gut check time for the Yankees but he still has confidence in
- 12:15them because they're a very good team as he would say in the
- 12:20pathetic effort. All three relievers the Yankees
- 12:24traded for at the deadline gave up multiple runs and the much
- 12:28talked about trade deadline acquisitions acquisitions.
- 12:33The return of Louise Hill was was a bad one in his return
- 12:38Sunday's giving up five runs in three innings of work.
- 12:43The only silver lining is the Yankees still sit in possession
- 12:47of the second wild card and Aaron Judge should be back
- 12:51Tuesday or Wednesday from the IL.
- 12:55I didn't get a chance to watch much of any of those games this
- 12:58weekend because I was working, but I did get a chance to check
- 13:02out some of the statistics that were absolutely putrid and and
- 13:06Jazz Chisholm's absolute debacle.
- 13:09Base running was just so embarrassing.
- 13:11I don't even think a rod gave you enough information on how
- 13:15bad it was. But everybody knows how I feel
- 13:18about Jazz Chisholm. I know, I know at one point
- 13:22Jabba liked him. I know Keith absolutely adores
- 13:25him, but this is a guy that doesn't shut his mouth.
- 13:29He opens his mouth too many times.
- 13:30He went that he went to the All Star game at the Home Run Derby
- 13:34and absolutely embarrassed himself in the Home Run Derby,
- 13:37only hitting three home runs. I've never seen a Yankee
- 13:40absolutely embarrass himself. As we call or the Yankees call
- 13:43themselves the Bronx Bombers and Aaron Boone saying that it's gut
- 13:46check time is just being nice because it's been gut checking
- 13:50time for the last four months, since the season started.
- 13:54The Yankees have been absolutely disgraceful.
- 13:57Disgraceful. There's no excuses to this team
- 14:00and the way they've played. There's not.
- 14:03The pitching has gone from good to absolutely bad.
- 14:08You add these relief pitches and you think, hey, it adds depth to
- 14:11the bullpen. And you think, oh, the Yankees
- 14:12are going to be great. They're going to be sensational
- 14:14after adding 23 pitches at the trade deadline.
- 14:18And and obviously the Yankees over the second-half of the last
- 14:22three seasons have been absolutely disgraceful in the
- 14:25second-half when it comes to the bullpen.
- 14:27You look at Devin Williams, who's played a little bit
- 14:29better, has come back in the second-half, has been up and
- 14:33down. And you look at this staff,
- 14:36really Max Fried, who's been one of the best pitchers in baseball
- 14:39really from the first half of the season, has been taking
- 14:43steps back. I, I know a lot of people going
- 14:45to say he has blisters and, and Carlos Rodon still has a 3.18
- 14:50ERA and everybody says, well this is a good season for Carlos
- 14:52Rodon. When you're making $26 million a
- 14:55year and you're giving guy like Max St. $32 million, that's 50
- 15:00some odd $1,000,000, almost $60 million.
- 15:02You're investing into two pitchers and you're not getting
- 15:05enough hits and not getting enough runs behind these guys.
- 15:09It just shows you where the Yankees are AT and you're.
- 15:11Depending that's not that's not as bad Errol as us having 48.3
- 15:15million for guys that aren't even playing.
- 15:16Well, that's true too. I we could go.
- 15:18We could get into the the past, to the Yankees.
- 15:20I mean, remember Carl Pavano getting hit by a Wiener?
- 15:23No, I'm saying right. I know.
- 15:24I'm just saying. Carl Provano, how many games did
- 15:27he play when the Yankees decided to bring him in from the
- 15:29Marlins? I mean.
- 15:30That's not even the big Jacoby Ellsbury's the worst.
- 15:33That's another one. And Jacoby's, Jacoby Ellsbury,
- 15:36his final year, he was an MVP candidate.
- 15:39So I, I think that obviously you look at the Yankees in the
- 15:43situation that they're in, I said it before the trade
- 15:45deadline, they should have been sellers, they should not have
- 15:48been buyers. And I know Jabba, you're going
- 15:50to get into how much the Yankees have to win in the next 50
- 15:53games. You think they have to go 30 and
- 15:5420 to to even make the playoffs. I just, I don't see this team
- 15:59having enough depth offensively. Aaron Judge comes back, even if
- 16:03he adds that depth offensively that they've been lacking over
- 16:07the last week, week and a half since he's been gone, I just
- 16:10think there's not enough on this team to get over the hump.
- 16:13I still think obviously the Astros are going to be a one of
- 16:17the teams to beating the American League.
- 16:19I do also believe Detroit, even though they've been up and down
- 16:22over the last couple weeks, the Red Sox have played better since
- 16:25the acquisitions that they've made.
- 16:27Even getting rid of Devers. I think the the Red Sox have
- 16:30been better. I, I think Devers has been was a
- 16:32cancer in the locker room. I just think that this team just
- 16:35doesn't have it this year. Every boot can make any excuse
- 16:39that he wants. Derek Cheeter could say what he
- 16:40wants. Derek Cheeter hasn't been on a
- 16:42baseball field for how long? 10 years?
- 16:44He hasn't been on a field for a while.
- 16:46And Alex Rodriguez is another one that opens his mouth.
- 16:49You want to talk about distinguished and stupid.
- 16:51How many times do we see Alex Rodriguez on the on the baseball
- 16:55field Absolutely look look like a Jackass.
- 16:58I remember the times that he was screaming when there was a pop
- 17:01up fly, making sure that if I'm not if is it Castillo, one of
- 17:05those guys, one of the Mets Castillo, Castillo when he was
- 17:10trying to catch a pop up fly at second base.
- 17:12He drops the ball because he's screaming in his ear or at 3rd.
- 17:15Base that was that was a rod in the yeah in Toronto at 3rd.
- 17:18Yeah, but it was two. It was twice, but he did twice.
- 17:21He did it twice. Popped it up at freaking
- 17:23Castillo. The most infamous drop pop in
- 17:25ever. In the extra In the extra
- 17:26inning. He did it twice and and again,
- 17:29Alex Rodriguez is is been obviously one of those Yankees
- 17:33that nobody likes because of what he did with steroids and
- 17:35and some of the weird things he did on a baseball field.
- 17:39But again, Alex Rodriguez could go down as one of the top five
- 17:42players of all time. Derek Jeter is going to go down
- 17:45as one of the top five top six Yankees of all time and one of
- 17:48the most clutched. Actually, you look at this
- 17:52roster, who is clutch on this roster before besides Giancarlo
- 17:55Stanton? Because it's not our judge, Josh
- 17:58Chisholm. We know what he does in the
- 18:00playoffs. He's absolutely putrid.
- 18:02OK, we go to Bellinger. He looks like he is a good
- 18:05playoff player, but not with the Yankees.
- 18:06We have to see what he's going to do with the Yankees, if the
- 18:08Yankees even make the playoffs. I mean, right now, this is not a
- 18:12good team. I don't care what anybody says.
- 18:15This Yankee team is not good. When you talk about trying to
- 18:20build a roster to win a championship, when you look at
- 18:23from top to bottom, when you look at the top five hitters for
- 18:26the Yankees, are you going to actually tell me with Volpe in
- 18:30the lineup, lineup, this is a good a lineup, good roster.
- 18:33Volpe's had more more errors in the last four weeks than I've
- 18:38seen any Yankees since Chuck Knobloch.
- 18:40Remember that? Does anybody remember Chuck
- 18:42Knobloch? This was a Gold Glove type of
- 18:44player. He comes from the Twins.
- 18:46He comes to the Yankees, has one Goodyear at second base, and
- 18:50then what happens? What happens?
- 18:52He can't throw the first. He's throwing it.
- 18:54He's throwing it to the fans. I eat it through it.
- 18:57Throwing it in a dugout. It's it's to me, it's a big
- 19:00problem when you're young superstar, as the Yankees
- 19:03believed he was going to be, can't really throw the first.
- 19:07He can't even throw the ball the second.
- 19:08He can't put the ball in front of him.
- 19:10It to me you got to send him down.
- 19:12But the Yankees have no depth at shortstop.
- 19:15And the Yankees were looking to add depth.
- 19:17Now on that. Rosario is a good player
- 19:20somewhat against lefties. Is he a starting shortstop in
- 19:23this league? No Ask the Mets.
- 19:25If he was, he'd still be a Mets. He'd still be a guardian.
- 19:29OK, let's let's be honest here. This is not a good Yankee
- 19:34roster. If you look at the roster that
- 19:37they have on the bench, who you could bring in.
- 19:40Now, I know Christen's had a good year.
- 19:41Is he really a guy that you want to bring in week in and week out
- 19:45if you need that offense? Come on, guys.
- 19:48He wasn't, he was up and down with the Padres.
- 19:50He wasn't a great player. He's been OK with the Yankees
- 19:53and the beginning of the season. He was on a home run, you know,
- 19:56tear for what, a couple of weeks?
- 19:59And he's falling off. The Yankees have no depth
- 20:01offensively. You look at the Dodgers right
- 20:04now. If the Dodgers fall apart at any
- 20:07point, Mookie Betts has had a terrible year.
- 20:10Mookie Betts and MVP has had a terrible year.
- 20:14They have guys that can pick up the slack.
- 20:17The Yankees don't. If Aaron Judge is not in the
- 20:20lineup, they're not getting offense from John Carlos Stanton
- 20:23and they decided to part ways with Glaber Torres, who's right
- 20:27now playing great baseball. He's going to earn himself a lot
- 20:30of money after only signing a one year deal with Detroit.
- 20:33Maybe the Yankees should decide to bring them back.
- 20:35He would have been a better option at shortstop than the one
- 20:38and only Mr. Volpe. Volpe has been absolutely
- 20:41terrible and the Yankees have no future as far as I'm concerned
- 20:45with Volpe. And now you got to send him
- 20:46down. He loses confidence.
- 20:48We've seen Yankees over the years go down after this and
- 20:51never come back up. Clint Frazier being one of them.
- 20:54Remember that guy? It's just, and then you add the
- 20:57cat story over there and then all the stupid things you heard
- 21:01from Clint Frazier when he was here with the Yankees.
- 21:03I just, I'm just so terribly stupid to believe that this team
- 21:09had any chance this year to make a run, really.
- 21:13Yeah, you look at a lot of the younger players too, we've
- 21:15talked about with the prospect development, especially like
- 21:18Anthony Volpe, you said it like 2 years ago, he was a Gold Glove
- 21:21winner. He was probably the fifth or
- 21:23sixth guy for Rookie of the Year.
- 21:24And what was a really good Rookie of the Year class that
- 21:26year, Gunner Henderson wanted, but they had Josh Young Louise,
- 21:29not Louise Hill. Tyler Wells for the Orioles was
- 21:32also very good that year in Tanner Bybee.
- 21:33Ben Volpe was in that set and then all of a sudden two years
- 21:36later, all of a sudden he can't throw to 1st and Glaber Torres.
- 21:39Remember how hyped he was defensively too, not as much as
- 21:42Volpe was, but he couldn't field either.
- 21:44And at least to be a problem that maybe the Yankees on a
- 21:47prospect development department have a big problem too.
- 21:49I don't think it's as much Brian Cashman as it is like the the
- 21:52scouts or whatever the management is down there as much
- 21:55because the Yankees have had trouble with this for a while
- 21:57too. Like you said, who's fielding
- 21:58really on this team right now at a high level?
- 22:00It's not. It's not good at all.
- 22:02And then these young hitters just have not developed either,
- 22:05and they're banking on that this year because they have no line
- 22:07of depth. That's the problem with the
- 22:09Yankees and I'll go back and and Jabba knows this more than
- 22:11anybody. He was a Yankee for a
- 22:13significant amount of time. They get guys they're either
- 22:16great in both, you know, fight, they're either A5 tool player or
- 22:20they're a tool tool player. That's what they are.
- 22:23They're either good defensively or they're good offensively.
- 22:26How many guys have we seen over the years that are 5 tool
- 22:29players that we've been brought up by the Yankees?
- 22:31Honestly, if you go back and you look at it, Jorge Posada being
- 22:34one of them, Bernie Williams being another, Derek Jeter being
- 22:37another, I mean, we could go and then we move up.
- 22:40In the 2000 era, Alfonso Soriano wasn't a good defender.
- 22:45He wasn't. He was a good power hitter and
- 22:47he couldn't hit for average. If you go up and down the
- 22:50Yankees rosters over the years, they haven't been good 512
- 22:55players. They don't grow on trees for the
- 22:57Yankees. They haven't grown on trees for
- 22:59the Yankees since the 50s. Since the 40s, it hasn't been
- 23:03that that good for the Yankees. Even Thurman Munson, when
- 23:06Thurman Munson was coming up as one of the great catches for the
- 23:10New York Yankees, what was on that roster?
- 23:12Lou Pinella? I mean, come on, There was
- 23:15nothing. That's why they had to make a
- 23:16trade for Reggie, Reggie Jackson.
- 23:20They weren't good, and that's the problem.
- 23:23Well, who's the best? What was the best, best prospect
- 23:25for the Yankees in the 80s? Roberto Kelly, who was traded
- 23:29for Paul O'Neill. We never even got a chance to
- 23:32see Roberto Kelly. Oh, I'm sorry.
- 23:33We saw Pat Kelly. Randy Velardi.
- 23:36Remember him? I mean, come on, guys.
- 23:38They weren't good. And then they bring in guys from
- 23:40Kansas City like Danny Turnable, who had one or two good seasons
- 23:44when it came to power. The Yankees had a winning record
- 23:46in the 80s and could never get over the hump because there was
- 23:49no wild card teens in the 80s. And in the 90s we all know
- 23:53Donnie Baseball could never get over the hump because Donnie
- 23:56Baseball couldn't stay healthy after the mid 80s he had back
- 23:59problems. And then in the 90s,
- 24:00unfortunately, the Yankees slowly but surely found ways to
- 24:06draft players. However way they did it, the
- 24:08Yankees have not been that good since then.
- 24:10And Jabba, you know all about it because you were a first round
- 24:13draft pick with Ian Kennedy. Yeah, I mean that that kind of
- 24:18that streak too, because Hughesy was was a little bit before us
- 24:21in the first round too. And yeah, I mean, it's it's
- 24:24interesting how they've they've tried to.
- 24:27And I remember I think it was 2010 when we got like Carrie
- 24:31Wood and I think I've mentioned this before, but I think we had
- 24:34in that team, I think we had like 14 or 15.
- 24:37It was the most ever first round draft picks on one team.
- 24:39And you know, it just it there hasn't been many since that's
- 24:43happened. And I mean, it's crazy.
- 24:45It was funny you mentioned Clint Frazier.
- 24:46He he he's starting to get back on the talking shit train about
- 24:52certain things. And of course he's like, he's
- 24:55like, should I start my own baseball?
- 24:56Actually, he just said it today, like start his own baseball
- 24:58show. And then somebody's like, oh,
- 25:00you should team up with Clint Frazier.
- 25:02And I'm like, I don't know about that, but yeah, so it's it's I
- 25:08don't think it hasn't, it hasn't been one.
- 25:10That's and obviously, you know, Volpe's been three years.
- 25:14So obviously it's, it's it's enough to have AI guess a
- 25:18subject matter of like, yeah, it hasn't been a year, It's been
- 25:21three years. And we kind of see what it is.
- 25:23So it there, there's been, I wouldn't say not lack of trying
- 25:30it. It's like lack of when to when
- 25:32to use them and, and if you have those guys, you know, when do
- 25:36you bring him up? And it's something that, you
- 25:38know, we all kind of go around in a circle.
- 25:41It's like, do you bring him up to have the energy?
- 25:43Do you do you take that risk of maybe stunning his growth or
- 25:46doing whatever? So and we're all kind of in
- 25:49agreeance and disagreeing on on certain aspects of how it works,
- 25:52but there really hasn't been that many that you look at
- 25:56lately that have thrived, you know, and been able to, you
- 25:59know, not necessarily put the team on your shoulders, but
- 26:03carry the backpack. So it'll be interesting to see
- 26:05how it is. And and like you said, they to
- 26:08to reach 90 wins, they have to go 30 and 20 in the next to to
- 26:11get 90 wins. Like we didn't think that was
- 26:14going to be. I did absurd, absurd number.
- 26:17Yeah. I thought the leaders were going
- 26:19to win 95 I. Think you said it was going to
- 26:21be close. I think you had like 87.
- 26:22No, no, no. I had the Yankees winning over
- 26:2490. I did.
- 26:25Oh. I did, yeah.
- 26:27So I and that's where it's like, man, that's there's only one
- 26:31team that's that's playing at that clip right now and that's
- 26:34the Brewers. But yeah, they just lost some
- 26:36guys. But still right now that's the
- 26:37only team. So it's going to be tough.
- 26:39And it's going to be interesting to see how, when and if.
- 26:43I guess from the reports on Twitter and Boland, Eric Boland
- 26:49reported to on Twitter that Judge is headed to Texas.
- 26:53They haven't announced anything yet.
- 26:56See, they're obviously going to have to make a correlating move
- 26:58with who's going to be sent out because you're going to have to
- 27:00make room for him and how that's going to affect Stan.
- 27:05Haven't really read much if he's taking many reps in the outfield
- 27:09as of right now. So that's going to take away at
- 27:13bats and they're talking about maybe starting a throwing
- 27:17program with judge here, but they haven't even said if he's
- 27:19going to come off. He's eligible to come off
- 27:21tomorrow. But will he?
- 27:24And I think that's kind of he's he's headed back to Texas.
- 27:27So we we'll see. It's I mean, there's a lot of
- 27:29what ifs at this point and especially, you know, with the
- 27:33lineup that they're featuring tonight, we'll see what they
- 27:35might go out and score 10 runs. You never know.
- 27:38That's the problem. That's the problem.
- 27:40Because Aaron Boone keeps moving around this lineup and it's not
- 27:43his fault. Everybody, every Yankee fan is
- 27:45attacking this guy on social media.
- 27:47Keep doing this. And I, I don't think Aaron
- 27:50Boone's going to last after this season.
- 27:51I really don't. If the Yankees fail to make the
- 27:54playoffs during the second wild card spot, I know everybody
- 27:56keeps saying he's tied to Brian Cashman, but you know how how
- 28:01will keep Brian Cashman? Because they have a connection.
- 28:03They grew up together, like you said, Jabba, all these years
- 28:06with the Yankees in the organization.
- 28:08I don't know if that connection is still there when it comes to
- 28:11how. And then obviously a guy like
- 28:14Aaron Boone now Aaron Boone is a guy that I like.
- 28:17I do believe Aaron Boone, if he gets fired from the Yankees, I'm
- 28:20sure there are going to be 5 or 6 other teams lining up for him.
- 28:24I, I know guys like Fish and other people all over social
- 28:27media that have podcasts and Yankee podcast have taken shots
- 28:31at Aaron Boone. Some of the lackluster moves
- 28:33that he made, obviously on Friday, what he did with that
- 28:37that that absolute debacle in in extra innings with Jazz,
- 28:41Chisholm and and the Yankees. The Yankees have been a major,
- 28:46major problem when it comes to certain fans and the way they've
- 28:50played over the last couple of years.
- 28:52And the Yankees have really blamed the Yankee fans have
- 28:55really blamed not the players, but Aaron Boone over the last
- 28:58couple years. Meanwhile, Aaron Boone was the
- 29:01same manager that took that team all the way to the World Series.
- 29:04Yes, they choked in the World Series, but he still was the
- 29:07manager. And by the way, he was the
- 29:09manager of the American League East in the All Star Game.
- 29:12I know it doesn't matter, but he was.
- 29:15But nobody gives him credit for taking that team all the way to
- 29:17the World Series. And honestly, I could go back
- 29:20over and over and over again over the years.
- 29:22Was that Joe Girardi was there, was Joe really that much better
- 29:25than Aaron Boone? Not really.
- 29:28I mean, Joe Girardi had better rosters than Aaron Boone in his
- 29:31first four years. I mean, look, as soon as Joe
- 29:34Girardi came, got the manager position, what did the Yankees
- 29:38do? They added CC Sabathia, They
- 29:40added AJ Burnett and Mark Teixeira.
- 29:43OK, Have they? Have the Yankees done any of
- 29:46that since Aaron Boones been there?
- 29:48Have the Yankees spent over $700 million for three players since
- 29:54Aaron Boones been there? The answer would be no.
- 29:57So I know everybody wants to say that Aaron Boone is the complete
- 30:01blame for it. Hey, if the Yankee fans wanted
- 30:03Juan Soto, why were they bitching and moaning after the
- 30:07fact? Juan Soto went to that press
- 30:09conference with the New York Mets and he said, you know, he
- 30:11picked the right New York team, goodbye, farewell.
- 30:14Meanwhile, the Yankee fans behind the scenes were saying,
- 30:17we just lost Juan Soto for $768 billion.
- 30:21Why did our ownership actually pay him?
- 30:23Maybe because they went after 3-4 guys, gave them some depth
- 30:27because that's what the Yankees were lacking in the playoffs
- 30:30last year. That's the fact.
- 30:33The Yankees have no depth. They have none.
- 30:36And I they're going to overpay for Kyle Tucker in the offseason
- 30:39if he decides to leave the Chicago Cubs.
- 30:42They're not. I would, I would say I would use
- 30:44it different. They have bodies, they don't
- 30:46have depth. They they have bodies to put up.
- 30:48OK, I'm sorry. So let me let me present you
- 30:50this question. OK.
- 30:52So you're saying that Booney doesn't last past this year?
- 30:55No, I don't think so, no. So what direction do you go
- 30:59then? That's a good question and you
- 31:01know it's going to be with him because I believe now I think
- 31:05Brian Cashman is there for at least his contract.
- 31:07I think after this contract Brian Cashman will step down.
- 31:10There is quite a few people that a lot of people believe could
- 31:14take over for Brian Cashman. 2 of the guys or girls that have
- 31:19been quoted to possibly take over if Brian Cashman ever steps
- 31:23down. I I look at the manager position
- 31:26either the Yankees stay within. If I was running this team and I
- 31:30was the GM of the GM of this team.
- 31:32Like Brian Cashman, I'm making a call to Mark Del Rosa.
- 31:36That's who I'm reaching out to. I think Mark De Rosa, he was
- 31:39Team USA head coach, head manager over there.
- 31:43I think he has a lot of people's ears in baseball.
- 31:47He speaks very highly still of the New York Yankees.
- 31:50I've seen him on podcast over the last couple of months, still
- 31:53thinking that the Yankees are contenders in the American
- 31:55League. I, I just, I, there's something
- 31:58that tells me there is something missing when it comes to depth
- 32:03with the infield and then obviously with the health in the
- 32:07outfield. And I think that if Bellinger
- 32:09does come back and he do they do extend him.
- 32:11He's got to play first base next year.
- 32:13I, I cannot see him playing in the outfield.
- 32:16They need more depth in the outfield.
- 32:18Maybe a Kyle Tucker, but again, job, I don't know.
- 32:22I don't know what the Yankees are thinking.
- 32:23They're going to probably hire somebody that's a part of this
- 32:26roster, this management right now on on the bench right now.
- 32:31Or do they reach out to Don Manningly, A guy Donnie Baseball
- 32:35is doing a great job with the Blue Jays right now and is
- 32:38looking to add to another roster when it comes to a managing
- 32:43position. This is a guy that failed with
- 32:45the Marlins, failed with the Dodgers, and always wanted to
- 32:48manage the New York Yankees. He brought he was brought up in
- 32:50the Yankees organization, never won with the Yankees
- 32:53organization, and he was passed up on Joe Girardi when he was
- 32:57being interviewed. And Joe Girardi did win a World
- 33:00Series in 2009. And Donnie Baseball took over
- 33:02for Joe Torre and could never get over the hump over there
- 33:05with the Dodgers. But I, I just think that
- 33:08Donnie's done a great job over there.
- 33:09I think you reach out to Don and, and see if if he's a good
- 33:12fit over that. But the problem is, does Brian
- 33:14Cashman like Don Manly? That's the thing.
- 33:17And I know Jabba, you're not a big fan of Brian, but again, I
- 33:22don't know what's stinking in his little pea brain over there.
- 33:24He's got a big head. The organization has a lot of
- 33:27big heads over there as executives.
- 33:30I'm not going to I'm not going to name any guys because I don't
- 33:32want to hurt myself if if we're planning to work with the
- 33:35Yankees, but anybody that knows the Yankees knows that the
- 33:38Yankees have a lot of big executives and a round table.
- 33:41Speaking of how and giving their feedback on what they know.
- 33:45It's not George Steinburn anymore, ladies and gentlemen.
- 33:47It's just not. Unfortunately, if you're a
- 33:49Yankee fan, you can't be happy on what you're watching.
- 33:52This is not good baseball. If you're if you're a Yankee
- 33:54fan, watching the Mets and watching what the Mets are
- 33:57doing, it makes you sick. It makes you sick.
- 34:01I I am sick watching the Mets because Juan Soto's finally
- 34:05figuring things out. They're getting power in the
- 34:07middle of the lineup by Pete Alonso.
- 34:09And by the way, they added depth to the bullpen, which I haven't
- 34:12had in over 10 years. More than that.
- 34:15I mean, seriously, the the Yankees should be the Mets and
- 34:20the Mets should be the Yankees, but it's the opposite.
- 34:23Let's flip and I'll tell you, I'm flipping right now because I
- 34:26think the Mets have a good chance of making a run right
- 34:29through the playoffs in a National League that's wide
- 34:32open. Besides Milwaukee, who scares
- 34:35you? Who scares you in the National
- 34:38League? Nobody does.
- 34:40It's just Milwaukee and Milwaukee.
- 34:42They're choke artists in the playoffs, but I'm not even
- 34:44talking about them. The Yankees, another mediocre,
- 34:48you know, conference there. There is really no slam dunk in
- 34:53that conference. The American League conferences,
- 34:55there really isn't. Are you going to trust that the
- 34:58Astros have the best team now? They have the pedigree.
- 35:01They had a Correa, he's playing third base.
- 35:04They bring him back. Maybe he gets more pop in that
- 35:06bat, which he hasn't had in the last past year.
- 35:09I, I, I don't know. To me this is probably the most
- 35:13mediocre season when it came when it comes to baseball
- 35:16throughout the league, it's so mediocre.
- 35:19How many 90 win teams are we going to have in the major
- 35:22leagues this year? Really?
- 35:24I, I don't know, 5 maybe. I don't even know if we're going
- 35:27to have five, maybe 3. It's, it's really bad right now.
- 35:31Now Maybe it's, it's, it looks like baseball is more
- 35:34interesting to watch because there's no powerhouse team.
- 35:38I, I mean, you want to see, you want to see an evil empire like
- 35:41the Yankees. The Dodgers look like they were
- 35:43the next evil empire with their deferred money.
- 35:45I should have given them their, their name, evil and blue or
- 35:48whatever the hell you want to call them.
- 35:50I, I just, to me, you can't be happy.
- 35:53The way the Yankees have played. Yankee fans are going to point
- 35:56their fingers at somebody and it's going to be the manager.
- 35:58In every sport, it usually is not the player, it's the manager
- 36:03or the GM, and that's who usually goes first or last or
- 36:07both. I don't know.
- 36:09So there you go. I'm just, I'm just tired, Errol.
- 36:11Who else is supposed to keep them accountable, though?
- 36:14If it's not the manager, who else does it?
- 36:17Yourself. Each other.
- 36:18I mean, all right, so that's a great point.
- 36:21But here's the thing, guys that are coming up, we have a lot of
- 36:24young guys. Volpe we've talked about on this
- 36:26show for weeks now. He's just not getting it done.
- 36:29How come all these young guys seem to go through struggles and
- 36:32we haven't seen them? I mean, Dominguez has been up
- 36:36and down since he's been here as well.
- 36:39I'm not convinced that the coaching and the, let's just
- 36:44call it the mindset in the clubhouse is where it needs to
- 36:47be for these younger players. And I I just don't know if
- 36:50that's something that is like endemic in the minor league
- 36:54system where they don't have the focus.
- 36:57I don't know what it is, but a lot of it just seems like sloppy
- 37:01play and they're not getting better.
- 37:03And usually that's the coach. Now, I know we've said we heard
- 37:07Jim Layer would say it on this show as recently as a week ago,
- 37:10that you know, that decisions come from up top, from the MIT
- 37:13guys like Lenny, who invented the Torpedo Bats to try to make
- 37:17these guys better to do. The hell is, I still think it's
- 37:20the coach. Remember this first story.
- 37:21I know, I know, Lenny the pizzeria man.
- 37:24Lenny, if you're listening to the show, I love you, man, but
- 37:26I'm sorry. He's a big Yankee fan, by the
- 37:30way. He's a legend.
- 37:31Yes. Wow.
- 37:32You never met Lenny at the Pizzeria Mikey.
- 37:34No, I know Lenny the torpedo bat inventor.
- 37:36Wow. Because he thought, we thought
- 37:38beginning of the year, you know, VoLTE started real hot.
- 37:40He had the torpedo bat, he was hitting oppo homers, and now
- 37:45he's still hitting homers. But a lot of the rest of the
- 37:47game is not rounded out offensively and the base running
- 37:51across the entire team. I I just can't understand it.
- 37:56If that's not a coaching thing, I don't know what is.
- 37:59But job, I'm real concerned because you said.
- 38:02Something. That makes a lot of sense to me
- 38:04as a coach. I can only keep my players
- 38:07accountable as much as I can. You have to keep your the guy
- 38:10next to them accountable. And if they're not doing it, I
- 38:14mean, what are you supposed to do?
- 38:15Like it's like you got to blow it up, don't you?
- 38:18Yeah. I mean, yeah, a little bit.
- 38:19But the one thing that like bother me, like and I I wouldn't
- 38:23say I'm a huge fan of Jazz. I wouldn't say I I dislike him
- 38:27as much as as Errol does. But like what got me in this
- 38:30whole thing was he said he was trying to make a play.
- 38:34Like, what were you? What play were you trying to
- 38:36make? Like, dude, you've known the
- 38:38infield like the options of what?
- 38:41Like what play are you trying to make in that instance?
- 38:43And then it's like Booney pulls the first base coach and like is
- 38:48trying to give him the business Like right.
- 38:50What what do you what what do you want me to say?
- 38:52I I I said get back. Is there like I physically can't
- 38:56touch the guy and grab him to get your ass on the base.
- 38:59The fact. That it was so close.
- 39:01That he had to slide back in is awful, makes it look even worse.
- 39:05And then like to what you're saying is the accountability,
- 39:08like I don't necessarily say you berate him right in front of God
- 39:12and everybody, right, But like pull him down.
- 39:14There was there was a great highlight of AJ Hinch when Javi
- 39:18Baez did something in Detroit and it was in Toronto.
- 39:21He took him under, gave him the business.
- 39:24And then he said, Javi, you're done.
- 39:25He grabbed his stuff and he went out.
- 39:26Like that in essence needs to happen at some point.
- 39:31And it's, you know, it's I'm going to use a yogiism.
- 39:34If there's a fork in a road, take it.
- 39:36But he's not taking anything. The only four.
- 39:39The only fork he's running into is the fork in Aaron Boone's
- 39:43ass, because that's what he's going to be picking, and that's
- 39:46Dixie's. When Aaron Boone is going to be
- 39:47let go in the offseason because he can't listen, He doesn't
- 39:51listen. Chisholm has been the the, the
- 39:54bonafide Nick Swisher, and I like Nick Swisher.
- 39:57Nick Swisher actually listened to guys, you know, on the bench.
- 40:01This man, even though he's spiteful and he's dancing in the
- 40:05locker room and everybody says they love him in the locker room
- 40:08and he's got so much enthusiasm and he's playing the music.
- 40:12So did Nick Swisher with rock and heavy metal and all that
- 40:15stuff that you heard. We're hearing that Chisholm is
- 40:18more out there speaking to many different podcasts and saying
- 40:22the things that he's saying, saying that the Yankees are
- 40:24still one of the best teams in the league.
- 40:26Where where do you see that? This is not a good team.
- 40:30This is not a good baseball team.
- 40:32I don't know why anybody's selling this to the Yankee fans.
- 40:36Here's what the Yankees are doing right now.
- 40:38They're still opening their pockets.
- 40:40House still opening his pockets. Even though it's not the players
- 40:43that Yankee fans want, They want superstar players.
- 40:46Well, OK. Is Max Freed A superstar player?
- 40:49Well, he's not the cherry. He's not that cherry that you
- 40:52put on an ice cream cone. But guess what?
- 40:55Juan Soda was? And the Yankees had them.
- 40:57Why did the Yankees give him a contract?
- 40:59I didn't want them. But Yankee fans were bitching
- 41:02and moaning after the fact when he signed with the Mets and then
- 41:05when he spoke at the at the press conference, like I just
- 41:08said, what did they say? Oh, good, good riddance.
- 41:11We don't need you. We have Max Freed, we have Mr.
- 41:14Bellinger. We had that.
- 41:16They could have still brought Bellinger in in with the team.
- 41:19And even if they made made that decision to bring Soto back, it
- 41:23is embarrassing what the Yankees are doing right now.
- 41:25There's nothing that sells to me.
- 41:27Even if the Yankees make the playoffs, they're making a run.
- 41:31This is not a good roster. Marcus Stroman.
- 41:34Thank God they got rid of that stupid ass A Patchogue.
- 41:38Medford. Guy, I didn't want to see him
- 41:40anymore in the Yankee colors, the Yankee pictures, everybody
- 41:44called that. Too, like he's going to, he'll
- 41:46post something within like hours.
- 41:48And like I remember Gary Sheffield Junior, I was on their
- 41:51show and I went and looked back at one of his streets.
- 41:55How long till it takes him to do?
- 41:57And then he posted the picture like saying that, oh, he's
- 41:59still, he does, no worry in the world, whatever.
- 42:01I think it was like 4 or five hours, something like that,
- 42:04where he took the picture on the plane and said adios, whatever,
- 42:07like his watch or whatever. It's like, all right, dude, we
- 42:10get it. Like, yeah, OK, whatever.
- 42:13It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing and every
- 42:15Yankee fan is trying to find somebody to blame.
- 42:18Oh, if Aaron Judge was 100% healthy all season long, the
- 42:22Yankees would have just drove all the way into the playoffs in
- 42:25first place. What drugs are you guys on?
- 42:28What are you guys smoking? If you're sniffing some lines,
- 42:31it better be good stuff. They did right now.
- 42:34The Yankees are not a good team. This is not a good roster.
- 42:37How many times do I have to tell the Yankee fans over and over
- 42:40and over again? My blood vessels are popping out
- 42:43of my neck. I'm a Yankee fan.
- 42:46Everybody wants to attack me on the Anthony Edwards take and I,
- 42:49I sent out post on why I said what I said about Anthony
- 42:53Edwards. All you guys want to say what
- 42:55you want on this take. Here's the take.
- 42:57The Yankees are not a good team. They're not good.
- 43:00Wait until next year until Garrett Cole comes back and see
- 43:03what you got with Garrett Cole and Max Freed.
- 43:05As long as he stays away from the blister problems and Rodon
- 43:08has a back-to-back year which we've never seen in his whole
- 43:11career. And then if Luisio Attica can
- 43:14actually stay healthy for a full season as a pitcher, if that all
- 43:18happens. Oh, and by the way, Clark
- 43:19Schmidt actually pitches 20 games.
- 43:21If that all happens, the Yankees will make a run next year.
- 43:25This is not the Yankees year. Jabba will admit to it now.
- 43:29Now, I think any baseball fan that knows the New York Yankees
- 43:34and that absolutely our real Yankee fans will tell you this
- 43:38is not a good roster. Before we move on, I just want.
- 43:41To ask you rank you the most annoying athletes, Jazz
- 43:44Chisholm, Anthony Edwards and Travis Hunter.
- 43:47Travis Hunt, I would go. Travis Hunter Chisholm, he did.
- 43:51He did. Self proclaim his own nickname
- 43:53by the way. Oh, Gremlin.
- 43:56No, that's. Yourself.
- 43:57That's your proclaimed name to him.
- 44:00Okay, I thought he actually. Claimed the Did you hear what it
- 44:04was? Right.
- 44:04No. What?
- 44:05Was it, what was it, the Unicorn?
- 44:07Please the. Grandpa.
- 44:11Errol, just so you know, Travis Hunter is listed as a starting
- 44:15wide receiver and a backup cornerback.
- 44:17Can't wait to watch this debacle or his roster.
- 44:19So all those comments as going to draft.
- 44:22I remember I was being shouted down about how he wouldn't be a
- 44:25receiver first. Don't worry, you'll be.
- 44:28It'll be shouted down when he fails to be that and it'll be
- 44:31right back as a corner and failed to do that as well.
- 44:34It does help Errol's bet with Quinn.
- 44:35Coppol's though for Travis Hunter not getting interception
- 44:37all season. That's true, and the only
- 44:39reason. Why is because the coaching over
- 44:41there is going to bow down to Mr. Gremlin himself until they
- 44:45realize he's nothing to sniff about and he might be doing
- 44:48sniffing of his own. Sniffing somebodies ass.
- 44:51Speaking of sniffing asses, Luca Dodgek, ladies and gentlemen.
- 44:55ESPN reports that the Los Angeles Lakers and Luca Dodgek
- 45:00have agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension
- 45:05to keep Luca in LA. The deal has an opt out in 2028,
- 45:11which would then allow Luca to be eligible for a five year Max
- 45:16deal with the Lakers, which could keep him in LA for the
- 45:19majority of the next decade. At the press conference on
- 45:23Saturday to celebrate Lucas extension, most of the Lakers
- 45:27were in attendance minus LeBron James.
- 45:31LeBron, yes, has signed his player option for the upcoming
- 45:36season as well as he should, but Lebron's camp and Lakers GM Rob
- 45:42Pelinka are playing a more cat and mouse game than committing
- 45:47to each other for this year with LeBron, who turns 41 in
- 45:52December. Go going into his 23rd NBA
- 45:56season in Lucas first postseason, yes as a Laker he
- 46:01became the 5th Laker ever to average 30 points, 5 rebounds
- 46:05and five assists in a game in a series.
- 46:08Also, Men's Health Magazine did a feature on Luka Doncic in the
- 46:14offseason conditioning and mention how he had how he made
- 46:19major changes of his body after sharp criticism from Mavericks
- 46:24GMO God Nico Harrison, which led to his departure from Dallas
- 46:30before the trade deadline last year.
- 46:33First of all, for everybody to not understand, the LJA is now
- 46:38the LDA Luca Dodgic Association. Yes, it's transitioning for the
- 46:45Lakers. The fact is, LeBron James's butt
- 46:49hurt. That's what he is, the great
- 46:51LeBron James's butt hurt that the Lakers have this love fest
- 46:55for the one and only Luca. Everybody knew this was going to
- 47:00happen. I have said this over and over
- 47:03again, and LeBron is not going to be there.
- 47:06He is not staying there by the trade deadline when the Lakers
- 47:10realize they're not a very good team and they decide, hey, you
- 47:13know what? We got to trade these young
- 47:15pieces away because we want to be buyers in the offseason.
- 47:19Next year when there are two or maybe 3 superstars that could be
- 47:23eligible to go to the Lakers, well, they got to move LeBron
- 47:26James's contract because LeBron James is going to cry all year.
- 47:31And I'm going to tell you this right now, don't be surprised if
- 47:35LeBron James plays more games early this season than he ever
- 47:39has. You know why he's going to do
- 47:41that? Because he wants to show GMs and
- 47:43he wants to show the Lakers. He still has a lot left in him.
- 47:47I do not believe LeBron James planned to leave anytime soon.
- 47:51The guy is averaging almost 25, eight, and seven.
- 47:55How many 42 year olds can do that?
- 47:59There's only one that I can remember in the NBA, and that is
- 48:03Mr. LeBron James. He's the only one.
- 48:06The fact is right now, Laker fans are going to sit here and
- 48:09they're going to try to find reasons why Luca is not going to
- 48:12work. And maybe because he's not that.
- 48:15He's not that superstar player that you want there.
- 48:18Lucas is a great player, but he is he the prime guy?
- 48:22Is he the the Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Mamba?
- 48:26No, Lucas, the boring guy. Luca likes to go to the bars and
- 48:30get drunk and hang out with his buddies and stay behind the
- 48:33scenes. Not LeBron James trying to be a
- 48:36producer or trying to sell his damn underwear or some other
- 48:39things that he's trying to toy away, if you know what I mean.
- 48:42Ask the WNZ BA. The fact is LeBron James is
- 48:46LeBron James and Luca is Luca. Now, as far as the Lakers are
- 48:50concerned, the Lakers love this. Why do they love this?
- 48:53And everybody's going to sit there.
- 48:54Why do they love that? LeBron James and Luca have this,
- 48:58this festive hatred for one another.
- 49:00Here's the reason why. It's going to put fannies in the
- 49:03seats. It's going to make people want
- 49:06to come and watch these two guys, see if they can get along
- 49:11on the sidelines and who the ball is going to go to at the
- 49:14end of the game. It used to go to LeBron, now
- 49:17it's going to go to Luca. How is that going to work?
- 49:19Is it going to go to Bronie? And by the way, does Luca
- 49:22actually like Bronie James there with that roster or being a part
- 49:26of the Lakers organization? Because it's Lucas teams now.
- 49:29Lucas team now. I just, I don't know.
- 49:33And by the way, everybody's going to ask, well, where's
- 49:35LeBron going to go? So if if he decides that he
- 49:38wants to be traded at the trade deadline, there's quite a few
- 49:40teams that could be eligible to get him.
- 49:44Everybody keeps talking about the Golden State Warriors.
- 49:47They can make moves. There are players that they
- 49:49haven't signed yet. I don't know if it's Golden
- 49:51State. Every single thing in my heart
- 49:54believes it could be the Houston.
- 49:56Yes, and I'll say this, it could be Houston, the Rockets that go
- 50:01after LeBron James. And here's the reason why.
- 50:04Houston's got a good young roster.
- 50:06They don't have to trade much. They'll trade away one piece of
- 50:10that roster, 1 youngster to trade him for LeBron, and they
- 50:14bring LeBron James over there with Kevin Durant.
- 50:16Two guys that wanted to play with each other, two guys there
- 50:19at the tail end of their career, and two guys that want to win a
- 50:23championship together. Now you have another idiot over
- 50:26there as a head coach. Even though he's done wonders
- 50:28over there, he doesn't know how to keep his thing in his pants.
- 50:32But maybe LeBron can help him with that.
- 50:34Maybe the leadership of LeBron James can help him with that.
- 50:37The fact is, right now LeBron might have 3 rosters that he'd
- 50:42be interested in playing for. And two of those rosters I just
- 50:45named, the other one could be New York.
- 50:49Yes, you heard it from me, the New York Knicks.
- 50:52And everybody's going to say, well, he never wanted to play
- 50:54for the Knicks. He never wanted to go to New
- 50:56York. There's a lot of reasons why it
- 50:58would make sense. 1 He is a big super upper * Madison Square
- 51:04Garden. Finish your career in Madison
- 51:06Square Garden. Kobe never did that.
- 51:08Jordan never did that. Magic never did that, Bird never
- 51:13did that. Go to Manhattan and win a
- 51:17championship with Jalen Brunson and those the those.
- 51:21I don't want to say anything because I'm a Knick fan, but
- 51:23that's a buckle of a team or what we saw in the Eastern
- 51:27Conference finals. Maybe he's the guy that gets him
- 51:31over the hump. The fact is, whatever he decides
- 51:35to do, whatever the Lakers decide to do, it's not going to
- 51:39be pretty by the end of this season.
- 51:41LeBron James is not going to be a Laker.
- 51:44Mark my words. It what is the betting favorites
- 51:46here in Vegas? Does anybody believe by the
- 51:48trade deadline LeBron James is a Laker?
- 51:51Because I'm going to tell you this right now.
- 51:52If it's high that he is, make a bet because he is not going to
- 51:56be a Laker at the trade deadline.
- 51:57I will put all the money on the line.
- 51:59What is it? Is there a betting odds?
- 52:01Does anybody have betting odds on that?
- 52:03I can't see it. What'd you say with with LeBron?
- 52:05Make it to the trade deadline. Yes, the trade deadline.
- 52:08Because Lebron's going to have to prove that he's going to play
- 52:10enough games where GM's are going to be willing to make a
- 52:14move to bring them in. Because we all know over the
- 52:17years, LeBron James has this thing where he decides, hey, you
- 52:20know what? I don't want to play this week.
- 52:22Oh, I don't want to play two games this week.
- 52:24And I'm going to sit out two of these because I don't want to be
- 52:26there. I don't want to play there.
- 52:27I don't want to play against this crappy team.
- 52:29I don't want to play in Charlie because the Hornets stink.
- 52:32You know, that's that's the way LeBron James plays.
- 52:35If LeBron James shows that he is going to go out there and he's
- 52:38going to play a significant amount of games that he has in
- 52:42the first half of the season over the last couple of years,
- 52:44maybe GM's would say, hey, you know what?
- 52:47Maybe we have a hungry LeBron James.
- 52:49Maybe we have a LeBron James that wants to win another
- 52:52championship and tie Kobe Bryant because right now he's got 4.
- 52:56If he wants to be considered and a lot of people think Kobe's
- 53:00better than him, I don't. I think he's the second greatest
- 53:02basketball player of all time because of statistics.
- 53:05But if he wants to be considered in the same realm as Kobe
- 53:08Bryant, as Tyler Harrison over the years says, not a chance in
- 53:12hell. Well, he needs to win that 5th
- 53:14title and he's never going to be considered Michael Jordan
- 53:18because Michael Jordan went to six finals and won all of them
- 53:22and never lost. So these are the facts Jack.
- 53:25It is now the LDA over there in Lakerville.
- 53:28It's no longer the LJA and Rob Pelinka, Kobe Bryants ex agent
- 53:35and running this stupid team to the ground as we've said plenty
- 53:39of times on the show of the years, because he's been there
- 53:42quite a few years. I think that this organization
- 53:45is starting to realize they're the bus family is not there
- 53:48anymore. And LeBron James was pissed off
- 53:50at the bus family that they didn't go to him when they
- 53:53decided to sell the team for $10 billion.
- 53:57That pissed LeBron off. Everything pisses LeBron James
- 53:59off and now he's on his stupid podcast with Steve Nash yapping
- 54:03away about certain rules and certain referees and certain
- 54:07players in the game and, and by the way, wow, Anthony Edwards,
- 54:12his best friend is LeBron. So everybody's got to jump for
- 54:15joy. 2 bitches in one friggin room.
- 54:17So that's all I'm going to say. I can't say anything more than
- 54:21that. LeBron James is a crybaby.
- 54:23He's been a crybaby really for the last 10 years and he hasn't
- 54:27won anything but the bubble year.
- 54:29And the only reason why they won was it was the bubble year.
- 54:32It was a short season and LeBron James had his time off, as we
- 54:37all know, and he didn't have to play in front of fans.
- 54:40All he had to do was play in front of fake cardboard boxes.
- 54:43That's what he played in front of and Anthony Davis had.
- 54:46His healthiest year either because it was a shortened
- 54:48season, too, and ended up winning NBA Finals MVP.
- 54:50And it was dominant in that sense, too.
- 54:52And that's something that I think that you would expect more
- 54:55with Luka Doncic now that he's gotten the condition to going.
- 54:58As much as you like to play. Oh, it's a big improvement over
- 55:00the years. I don't think there was ever as
- 55:01drastic as it was like what a Nico Harrison was like to accuse
- 55:04Luka Doncic of. But Luka Doncic has put in the
- 55:07work now. He understands that.
- 55:08Yeah, if he wants to be the face of the team, maybe the face of
- 55:10the league, like you're saying, like he's going to have to take
- 55:13say, who's to say, Luca? Wants to stay a Laker.
- 55:17He signed a three-year deal. That's what the deal was saying
- 55:20too, because. We if I was Luca and.
- 55:22I'm looking at the Lakers right now.
- 55:24There's no high praise of the Laker organization anymore.
- 55:27The Bus family's not there anymore.
- 55:29Why would anybody want to go and play for the Showtime Lakers?
- 55:33They're not the Showtime Lakers anymore.
- 55:35They're not run by the Bus Family.
- 55:37Why would anybody want to go? There is a league right now.
- 55:40I remember when we watched the OKC Thunder and everybody was
- 55:43talking about Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant and James
- 55:46Harden. Why would they want to sign back
- 55:47over there? There's no, there's nothing
- 55:50there. There's no, there's no
- 55:52endorsements, there's no sponsorships.
- 55:54There's nothing there now. The league is different.
- 55:57It doesn't matter where you play.
- 55:58You can play in Charlotte, you can play OKC, You're going to
- 56:00get the endorsements, you're going to get all the money if
- 56:04you're a superstar player. So it doesn't matter where you
- 56:06play. It's all about money now.
- 56:09It's all a business. That's the facts.
- 56:13If we watch the game right now and we can argue about football
- 56:15right now, does anybody in the NFL besides guys like Micah
- 56:20Parsons, OK, that have come out and said, pay me?
- 56:24Are there other guys out there like Patrick Mahomes or even Tom
- 56:27Brady over the years taking less money?
- 56:30No, because it's not about winning anymore.
- 56:33It's about Mucho De Niro. It's about money in their
- 56:37pockets, what, you know, businesses they could buy after
- 56:41the fact or are they going to be team owners like Alex Rodriguez?
- 56:44That's what it's going to now, LeBron James.
- 56:46You don't think LeBron James is going to try to buy a team when
- 56:49he retires from the game? He is.
- 56:52He's got all the money in the world.
- 56:54He's already. They're like trying to.
- 56:56Do an international like basketball league like 8 billion
- 56:59bucks or something like that and he's got the money behind him
- 57:02Why? Because he's.
- 57:03Got other billionaires like P Diddy, as we all know, I hang it
- 57:07out, you know, hang it out there, you know, and by the way,
- 57:10there are a lot of stories and I know a lot of people don't want
- 57:13me to talk about that, that whole specific story.
- 57:16But the fact here is there are many billionaires now it it it's
- 57:21not logically. There's a ton of billionaires.
- 57:24Over the years we've seen billionaire after billionaire or
- 57:28people become a billion. Rihanna became a billionaire
- 57:30recently we've seen Tiger Woods is a billionaire.
- 57:34LeBron James is a billionaire. Michael Jordan's a billionaire.
- 57:37Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire. Those are just a few.
- 57:40And now there's a ton of billionaires.
- 57:42So it's not like it's it's impossible to become a
- 57:45billionaire and become a team owner.
- 57:48Maybe for me and Jabba, it's impossible.
- 57:50But for guys like that or girls like that, when you have shoe
- 57:54lines and makeup lines and fashion lines, you're going to
- 57:58bring in that kind of mucho De Niro.
- 58:00LeBron James has his own production company, so brawny
- 58:05productions. So I, I just, I, to me, it
- 58:08sickens me. And I don't know why anybody
- 58:10thinks that LeBron James or feels, thinks that LeBron James
- 58:14has any thought in his mind to walk away from the game.
- 58:18And by the way, I don't know why anybody is crying for LeBron
- 58:21James. This man is still one of the
- 58:25powerhouses for the NBA, one of the faces of professional sports
- 58:29and really internationally, A superstar everywhere he goes.
- 58:34He's as big as Lionel Messi, yes, or any of those soccer
- 58:39players or European football players.
- 58:42In Europe, everybody knows who LeBron James is, everybody.
- 58:47So I don't know why anybody's crying for LeBron James.
- 58:50And that's why Lucas is not going to cry for him, and he
- 58:52shouldn't. Luca.
- 58:54Luca doesn't really say much of anything.
- 58:56The only thing I could say that Luca has come out and say is
- 58:59that he's happy to be a Laker for the next three years.
- 59:02Yeah, he has. He has personality.
- 59:04Nico Harrison, I don't. Know attention.
- 59:05I don't know if he has personality.
- 59:07He's more personality than Nico Harrison.
- 59:09Claimed to be where he's not the most popular player and oh, I
- 59:13underestimated how how my how his branding was.
- 59:15Meanwhile, he's going to especially with the Lakers now,
- 59:18still accelerate that probably compared to it, but again, even
- 59:21less so than you would have thought.
- 59:22The Lakers reputation has and that's the pressure that this
- 59:24ownership now has to re establish them themselves.
- 59:27Obviously not. I'm not saying like they're
- 59:29badly run like all the time, but like establish themselves to
- 59:32what they were when they were considered like the model
- 59:34franchise in the NBA. Because like you said, they're
- 59:36not holding anyone. They're not keeping anyone.
- 59:38They're not signing these flashy names besides LeBron for longer
- 59:42deals anymore to the way they used to and now Luca is probably
- 59:46that next step in taking it. And Luca had influence on the
- 59:48free agents they brought in this year, not LeBron the same.
- 59:51And why does anybody think that he he is?
- 59:53Going to go to Cavs. I don't think he goes back to
- 59:55the Cavs and I don't think he goes to the Mavs either.
- 59:58Why would he go to the map? He's not going to the map.
- 1:00:02How are they going to? Afford him.
- 1:00:03I know it's financially impossible.
- 1:00:05For this year, next year, the only reason why anybody would
- 1:00:07think that he wants to go. There because he has a
- 1:00:09connection with Cooper Flag. Kyrie Irving's there, and so is
- 1:00:13Anthony Davis, right? Which is why it would be funny.
- 1:00:15How are they going to fit? That $52 million?
- 1:00:17Contract, they're not going to fit it this year.
- 1:00:18It'd be a matter of either like a trade.
- 1:00:20Deadline manipulation where maybe somebody could do Penico
- 1:00:22Harrison into something, or it would be a next year where
- 1:00:24LeBron takes less to play with Kyrie Irving.
- 1:00:26That would really be it. But it would be funny.
- 1:00:28LeBron James is not going to be a Laker.
- 1:00:30He's just not. There's no way in hell he's a
- 1:00:33Laker by the trade deadline. And again, Laker, the Lakers
- 1:00:37organization is not the same. This is not the same Laker
- 1:00:39organization. Only LeBron James knows where he
- 1:00:42believes he's going to be at the trade deadline.
- 1:00:45As a matter of fact, if LeBron James believes he's going to be
- 1:00:47a math, he'll be a math only it with the NBA, it's pretty
- 1:00:51simple. He can sit back and say I want
- 1:00:53to go here. If you don't trade me here, I'm
- 1:00:54not playing. I'm not playing.
- 1:00:56Find me, I'm not playing. We've seen how many, how many
- 1:00:59players have done that over the years in the NBA.
- 1:01:02Carmelo Anthony forced his way out of Denver, did he not?
- 1:01:05He forced his way to New York. He, the Brooklyn Nets gave the
- 1:01:08biggest offer. Remember that the Nets gave the
- 1:01:11biggest offer and that that conned the Knicks into making
- 1:01:14that trade where they traded 6 guys and a pick and and and pick
- 1:01:19swap to land a guy like Carmelo Anthony.
- 1:01:22They gave away their whole roster for Carmelo Anthony.
- 1:01:24He never wanted to be a net, but that was his way or that was the
- 1:01:29the way obviously the Denver Nunkers were going to get what
- 1:01:32they want. Did the Denver Nunkers really
- 1:01:33get what they want? No, they didn't get what they
- 1:01:35want. It was just the best, the best
- 1:01:38package the Knicks could give them.
- 1:01:40So it's all these players have asked for their way out.
- 1:01:44How about this? Remember Chris Paul?
- 1:01:46Remember that Lakers deal, how it went dry, how how quick it
- 1:01:50went dry? When David Stern, they rest in
- 1:01:52peace. David Stern was there and it was
- 1:01:55practically sealed and delivered that Chris Paul was going to the
- 1:01:59Lakers and David Stern stepped right in and blocked it.
- 1:02:04Remember that? Remember when that happened?
- 1:02:06Could you imagine Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol
- 1:02:12playing on one team? Could you imagine that
- 1:02:15threesome? They win multiple championships,
- 1:02:18probably more than Kobe and Pau Gasol. 1 which was 2 I think, if
- 1:02:22I'm not mistaken right. I think it was 2 with Ron Artest
- 1:02:26or Metal World Peace and Lamar Odom.
- 1:02:29So I remember that roster and Andrew Bynum, remember that we
- 1:02:33brought that up many, many times.
- 1:02:34Fish, remember that one. So I I think obviously the
- 1:02:39Lakers and the organization has to make either a drastic move
- 1:02:43and say, you know what, LeBron, we don't want you on this roster
- 1:02:46before the season starts. Where do you want to go?
- 1:02:48Or you play a significant portion of these games so we can
- 1:02:53get as much as we possibly can for you and move you where you
- 1:02:57want to go. And that's the problem with like
- 1:02:59these players having power. Like we talked about, so like a
- 1:03:00lot of those trades that are considered like these forced out
- 1:03:03trades, fleece type trades that happened with the LeBron James
- 1:03:06era type of superstars. And we've talked about with
- 1:03:08Kevin Durant, we've talked about it with Kyrie Irving.
- 1:03:11A lot of those types of guys are the ones that are manipulating
- 1:03:13it to let to a lesser extent, like maybe Joel Embiid is
- 1:03:16probably the youngest one that's saying otherwise and complaining
- 1:03:19about everything. But it's mostly that generation
- 1:03:21that's doing it. And this is going to be the next
- 1:03:23chapter of it, too. Because LeBron, Oh, Luca
- 1:03:25Dodgek's here. You would think he'd be excited.
- 1:03:27No, it's a complete opposite of what we thought six months ago
- 1:03:30when we thought he was. Oh, he's manipulating the league
- 1:03:32again. The LJA getting what they want,
- 1:03:34rewarding The Mavericks. Of the picks, the Lakers should
- 1:03:36sign Jabba Chamberlain. Could you imagine Jabba taking
- 1:03:39on? I mean, he's 63.
- 1:03:40He's got some size. All we got to do is stick his
- 1:03:42big body at the hoop and he can get a couple layups.
- 1:03:45Hey, Jabba, could you dunk a ball?
- 1:03:46I can shoot. You could shoot, really.
- 1:03:48We got to play some ball. I'll play some horse.
- 1:03:50I can't. I can't shoot like my son.
- 1:03:52It got. Embarrassing when when I
- 1:03:54started, then he I was like, Nah, I'm good, man.
- 1:03:56Your son's good at basketball. Oh yeah, it was.
- 1:03:59He was really good, like. It'll come up with moments on my
- 1:04:02phone and I kind of miss watching him play basketball.
- 1:04:04It was fun, but yeah, he dunked just standing there two footed.
- 1:04:08Yeah, really. He dunked.
- 1:04:09Really. Yeah.
- 1:04:11He's he's got some. OPS, he's, yeah, he's pretty
- 1:04:13good. Athlete.
- 1:04:13Pretty good athlete. They just won.
- 1:04:15They just won the NBC World Series.
- 1:04:16So shout out to my son. Congratulations to Carter.
- 1:04:19Carter Chamberlain. Yeah, they they beat him 20.
- 1:04:21One to five. Wow.
- 1:04:22Wow. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:04:24It was it was a butt whooping. So, but it's so I'm going to go
- 1:04:28back to what you said and kind of what Speedy said too.
- 1:04:30So you're saying he's going to play more early to show and that
- 1:04:34is is that your reason why you think that he'll go at the
- 1:04:37deadline and not be a Laker? Just to be like I'm still vested
- 1:04:40in it. All right, Jabba, if you.
- 1:04:43Watch LeBron James this season. He plays more than seven or
- 1:04:48eight games last year in the first half of the season.
- 1:04:51You know what the Lakers are planning to do and what LeBron
- 1:04:54James is going to plan to do at the trade deadline.
- 1:04:59There's no way. There's no way LeBron James
- 1:05:01plays less games this year knowing that teams or even GM
- 1:05:06think that he's at the tail end of his career and he can't do it
- 1:05:09anymore. He wants to prove a point and if
- 1:05:12he proves a point, the Lakers know they can get something
- 1:05:15significant back for him. So if they could get another
- 1:05:19young superstar player to come and play with LeBron, I mean
- 1:05:22with Luka Doncic in the future, and give Luka more options in
- 1:05:27the offseason to try to draw maybe a Yokich or of that
- 1:05:31magnitude to want to come and play.
- 1:05:33Could you imagine Yokich and Luka playing with the Lakers?
- 1:05:36I don't know how long Yokich is going to want to play in Denver.
- 1:05:39I mean, what does Denver have? They have Murray.
- 1:05:41Jamal Murray could be on his way out.
- 1:05:43They just traded about Michael Porter.
- 1:05:45He goes to the he goes to the Nets.
- 1:05:47I mean, what do they have over there?
- 1:05:49What do they have? But I think, I think Joker will
- 1:05:51stay. There too, because he doesn't
- 1:05:53like all that hoopla. I think that it's a good fit for
- 1:05:56him just because he doesn't have to deal with all the BS and, and
- 1:06:00all the reporters and whatever. Because you imagine you rubbed
- 1:06:03that big dude the wrong way, you might have a knock on your door
- 1:06:06from one of his brothers. And I'm, I'm, I'm gonna go ahead
- 1:06:08and stay away from that. I don't have enough horses in
- 1:06:10LA. Well, if yeah, for sure.
- 1:06:12If if you, I don't know if. Anybody.
- 1:06:14Watches, you know. Certain backroom stuff with the
- 1:06:16All Star game. Him and Luke are very, very
- 1:06:19close. Oh yeah, they're they're joking
- 1:06:21like. They're like joke stuff like if
- 1:06:23they hit each other, those are great.
- 1:06:25They're they're very close with. One another connection,
- 1:06:29obviously international players and Luca over the years has
- 1:06:33always said that Yokich has always been a helpful person to
- 1:06:38go to offseason to train with and work out with.
- 1:06:42And Yokich is a guy that says if there's anybody that I can
- 1:06:46consider as good as I am in this league, he's he's put high
- 1:06:51praise to Luka Doncic. So these guys love each other.
- 1:06:54They're international players. They're probably two of the
- 1:06:56best, if not, you can argue the Greek Freak, Mr. Giannis is
- 1:07:01right there with them. Those are arguably the three
- 1:07:03best players in the league. And there and then I'm sorry,
- 1:07:06there's another foreign player that just wanted an MVP in Shy
- 1:07:09Alexander. So he's another one for the four
- 1:07:12best players right now in the NBA are international players.
- 1:07:16That's crazy. You did mention Joel and Beads,
- 1:07:19but. You'll be you'll be thankful for
- 1:07:20this. He's not wearing Nikes.
- 1:07:22I just saw him endorse Skechers, so good for him.
- 1:07:24You don't have to worry about an Achilles with Joel and beads.
- 1:07:26First of all, you have to worry about every injury.
- 1:07:28How the hell did they? How the hell did they?
- 1:07:30Find Skechers that could fit that big ass foot.
- 1:07:32I mean seriously how they got to wear like a 17 or 18 dude his.
- 1:07:36Foot's bigger than that if I'm. Not mistaken.
- 1:07:39His foot's right under Shaquille.
- 1:07:41I think he would. If I'm not mistaken, I heard
- 1:07:43that he wore a 20 or 2021 1/2 or something like that.
- 1:07:47Look that up. I, I'm pretty sure Joel Embiid
- 1:07:50and and Shaquille O'Neal a couple of years ago.
- 1:07:53It says 17. They put their shoes.
- 1:07:57Together, and they were very they weren't far, far off from
- 1:08:00one another. When Remember when Shaquille
- 1:08:02O'Neal had that beer in that, that that sneaker he was
- 1:08:05drinking out of a sneaker. Didn't they say you could fit a
- 1:08:07gallon a milk in? Shack like 1/2 a gallon of milk
- 1:08:10in his shoe. So I it's a funny story, me and
- 1:08:13Speedy. Went to an autograph signing
- 1:08:15over there at in Nassau County and somebody was showing off
- 1:08:20Shaquille O'neal's game worn sneaker.
- 1:08:22Remember that? Speedy signed and I told Speedy
- 1:08:26to put it closer to his chest. Dude, Jabba, it was from his
- 1:08:30neck down to the bottom of his torso is practically size of his
- 1:08:33torso. I'm not lying to you.
- 1:08:35That's how big Shaquille O'neal's foot was.
- 1:08:38I mean, it's, it's kind of weird looking at how how big this man
- 1:08:43is and how does he find a golf shoe that fits him on a golf
- 1:08:47course he goes to that he goes to that place in.
- 1:08:49Atlanta, that he that guy specializes like in all those,
- 1:08:53all those big like shoe sizes or whatever.
- 1:08:55Yeah, yeah. The biggest one I've ever seen
- 1:08:57too. And I've seen pictures of Shaq.
- 1:08:59I've never seen one in person. But for our wrestling fans, Paul
- 1:09:03Wright, Big Show. Yeah, I got to know him because
- 1:09:06the WWE did a lot of stuff for the Yankees.
- 1:09:08Kind of resemble him right now with that beard.
- 1:09:11Yeah, and so I got to know him pretty.
- 1:09:14Well, and I had a foundational event and he sent me, he sent me
- 1:09:17a pair of his boots. Dude you could have used these.
- 1:09:21As a deadly weapon. These things were crazy.
- 1:09:25And it's and. They weren't.
- 1:09:26Just like a, it was, I mean, it was monstrous.
- 1:09:30It like when I got it, I, I knew he was going to send something,
- 1:09:34but I didn't know what it was. And so he was like, yeah, I'll
- 1:09:37send you something here's my manager, like give me the
- 1:09:40address, blah, blah, blah. So I was like, all right, cool.
- 1:09:41Thank you so much. I thought it was gonna be like
- 1:09:43AT shirt or something, just something that he signed
- 1:09:45whatever. Cuz they usually just sign it
- 1:09:47and then whoever asks, they just, they ship it all out.
- 1:09:50What size shoe do you wear? Jabba. 13 All right, I.
- 1:09:54Wear 11 and a half 12. So and you're 6 foot three.
- 1:09:57I got big feet. I have like clown feet.
- 1:09:59I have the smallest hands. My uncle calls me Little Hands.
- 1:10:02He says that if I was an Indian, he would say that my nickname
- 1:10:06would be Little Hands. That's what he would call hold
- 1:10:08on dot or feather. I don't.
- 1:10:11Dude, my hands are. Small.
- 1:10:12All right, I have. I mean, I'm the only one that
- 1:10:14can say that as long as I can. You know my.
- 1:10:17I can tell you this, I got some junk in the trunk anyways, so
- 1:10:21you know what I mean. I've got more than enough to
- 1:10:24grab, if you know what I mean. Speedy, how about you?
- 1:10:27You have more than enough grab. Or how about a Bush?
- 1:10:29Speedy. Speedy, What size?
- 1:10:30What size? Foot you feature in.
- 1:10:32I'm a nine and a half. He's got small feet.
- 1:10:35Speedy got small. Feet.
- 1:10:36He's really small. How about you Scoops?
- 1:10:38What shoe do you wear? I mean, seriously, there's a
- 1:10:40certain as well 13. 13 I have flat.
- 1:10:44Feet, though, I. Have that flat foot syndrome
- 1:10:45thingy, I guess you could say where Like I don't have an
- 1:10:48Archer in my foot. I have a half a flat foot,
- 1:10:50that's what. My doctor just told me when I
- 1:10:52went to a foot doctor, how do you get half a half a foot?
- 1:10:54Well, my mom. Has the same thing.
- 1:10:55It's like one of her. Foot is flat and one of her has
- 1:10:57like a bit of oh, it's like a half a flat foot.
- 1:10:59That's what they it's probably. Yeah, good point, fish.
- 1:11:02It's probably. Because you're on the toilet
- 1:11:03enough that your feet just kind of just settled.
- 1:11:05Wow, my feet are ingrained into the bowl.
- 1:11:08Definitely ingrained into the ball.
- 1:11:10There's no. Do you use?
- 1:11:10Do you use a Squatty Potty? Me.
- 1:11:13No, but I like. Bro change, it'll change the
- 1:11:16game. Yeah, I was about.
- 1:11:17To say apparently I'm supposed to be squatty.
- 1:11:19Potty a Squatty Potty. Brought to you by just, you're
- 1:11:21supposed. To sit at an angle whenever you
- 1:11:23take a. Deuce.
- 1:11:24So I do that. Anyways, I have one cheek.
- 1:11:27When I, by the way, everybody asks me how do you wipe your
- 1:11:29ass? OK.
- 1:11:30And they like, do you put your hand between your legs or do you
- 1:11:34go behind? Wait, wait, what were you
- 1:11:36talking about with one cheek? But how do you what are you
- 1:11:38saying? Maybe with that one?
- 1:11:40No. So I keep 1 cheek on the ball
- 1:11:42when I'm taking a dump, I do that.
- 1:11:44I like I have one leg like lift up like this.
- 1:11:48So I ghost riding the ball. Yes, I ghost ride the ball.
- 1:11:51You know, it's it's supposed to be comfortable.
- 1:11:54It's supposed to be all right. So listen, I have like you're
- 1:11:57like this. I skeeve OK.
- 1:12:00I. Ski public bathroom.
- 1:12:02So what do I do? So I clean one side of the I
- 1:12:05make sure that at least one side of the bowl is clean.
- 1:12:09So I've trained myself, even if I go to a public bathroom that I
- 1:12:13can kind of elevate my you can public deuce.
- 1:12:16Yes, what you can public deuce sometimes if I really have to
- 1:12:22go. I really have to lay one out.
- 1:12:24You got to have a clean bathroom and I do.
- 1:12:27I am the cleanest person, Speedy, who has the cleanest
- 1:12:29bathroom you've ever been in? I am.
- 1:12:32I am the. Most.
- 1:12:33Anal person you will ever meet when it comes to bathrooms,
- 1:12:37anybody. Would you eat fettuccine Alfredo
- 1:12:39off of the floors of your bathroom?
- 1:12:40Never. Oh, I I could, but I would never
- 1:12:44clean. It's that clean?
- 1:12:45Yes, OK, it's that clean. I have, I have my own little
- 1:12:48vacuum that I vacuum up everything for the bathroom,
- 1:12:52just for the bathroom. I only use it for the bathroom.
- 1:12:55That's how crazy I am when it comes to bathrooms.
- 1:12:57So yeah. And when I and that's how I do,
- 1:13:00people probably think I'm a little crazy and they say, how
- 1:13:03the hell do you, you know, keep 1 cheek on a ball?
- 1:13:05Well, I, I can't explain it. You would have to see me do it.
- 1:13:09But I mean, I'm going to take your word for it at this.

- 1:14:36final year of of the Fox's future San Antonio future with
- 1:14:42San Antonio through 2029 and 30 season after the trade deadline
- 1:14:47deal moved the alt of the one time All Star and one time All
- 1:14:52NBA guard the Sacramento Kings traded to the Spurs.
- 1:14:57Fox and Paul were able to navigate a trade to his
- 1:15:01preferred destination, which was San Antonio in February to
- 1:15:06secure a long term extension months later in a state with no
- 1:15:12income tax compared to his prior California residents.
- 1:15:17The Spurs drafted guard Dylan Harper with the number two pick
- 1:15:20in June's NBA Draft and now have a young talented backcourt of
- 1:15:25Fox and Harper and Stefan Castle.
- 1:15:29So ladies and gentlemen, probably the best backcourt in
- 1:15:34young backcourt in the NBAI thought, I thought they were
- 1:15:38going to move D Aaron Fox and trade him in the offseason.
- 1:15:41Well, Rich Paul and ownership over there with San Antonio
- 1:15:45looks otherwise with the organization and where they see
- 1:15:48the organization going with Webby, Yama Harper and now D
- 1:15:52Aaron Fox. So my golf clap of the day,
- 1:15:54congratulations to D Aaron Fox, one of my favorite electrifying
- 1:15:59players in the NBA. Thank you.
- 1:16:04To D Aaron Fox. And when we come back, ladies
- 1:16:07and gentlemen, he is a very unique individual.
- 1:16:11He's been on our show before. We will be talking a little
- 1:16:14baseball with him as he had 11 year career as an MLB player and
- 1:16:19an outfielder. Jason Michaels.
- 1:16:21But first, our sports minute with Mr. Fisherman himself.
- 1:16:28This is the Jabba. And the.
- 1:16:29Mouth sportsman as. OK, everybody, Aaron Fishman.
- 1:16:35Here. With your sportsman and got a
- 1:16:37few stories before we get into this force tonight.
- 1:16:41First story. Olympic gold medalist Shikari
- 1:16:44Richardson was arrested in Seattle airport after a domestic
- 1:16:47incident between herself and her boyfriend, as reported by The
- 1:16:50Athletic. The police report described an
- 1:16:53incident at the TSA security checkpoint.
- 1:16:55Richardson, the arresting officer detailed, got into a
- 1:16:58heated argument with Coleman, who told the officer Richardson
- 1:17:01was his girlfriend of two years, though the couple didn't go
- 1:17:04public with their relationship until February, The arresting
- 1:17:07officer witnessed Richardson shoved Coleman multiple times as
- 1:17:11Coleman walked away from Richardson footage caught on
- 1:17:13security camera and deemed it enough probable cause to arrest
- 1:17:18Richardson. The offense was listed as a
- 1:17:20fourth degree domestic violence assault.
- 1:17:23Richardson's boyfriend, Christian Coleman, commented on
- 1:17:25this on Sunday. That for me personally, I feel
- 1:17:28like it was a sucky situation all around.
- 1:17:31I don't feel like she should have been arrested.
- 1:17:32I mean, people have discussions and emotions and stuff like
- 1:17:35that. She has things that she needs to
- 1:17:37work on for herself. Of course, so do I.
- 1:17:39So do you. So does everybody.
- 1:17:41But I'm the type of guy who's in the business of extending grace
- 1:17:44and mercy and love. Richardson, who was infamously.
- 1:17:48Disqualified. For testing positive for
- 1:17:50marijuana in 2021 and suspended by the USADA for the COVID
- 1:17:54Olympics in Tokyo. Was trending positively after
- 1:17:57her relay gold and silver medal in the Paris 2024 Olympics, but
- 1:18:02both Richardson and Coleman, however, performed poorly at the
- 1:18:05US Championships later on that week After this incident, the.
- 1:18:09Dolphins have reached. An agreement.
- 1:18:11With defensive tackle Zach Seiler on a three-year contract
- 1:18:14worth $67.75 million with 44 million guaranteed.
- 1:18:20Seiler has back-to-back seasons with 10 plus sacks.
- 1:18:22With Miami as one of the best players on a beleaguered
- 1:18:24Dolphins defense that is facing early injuries and many
- 1:18:27departures this season from the secondary, Coach Mike McDaniel
- 1:18:31commented early here before see Seiler signing.
- 1:18:34I think you define yourself by your actions most of all in
- 1:18:36life. I'm very aware that all players
- 1:18:38have a choice in what they do on a day-to-day basis, specifically
- 1:18:41with Zach and his actions speak and I think his teammates very
- 1:18:44much recognize how Zach Seiler plays football and contributes
- 1:18:48to the building every day. I and I think Zach has a vision
- 1:18:51of team that I share and he understands as a leader.
- 1:18:54He's trying to show guys how he wants teammates to play
- 1:18:57football, and I'm excited every time I see Zach Seiler.
- 1:19:02The Dolphins will hope to have Sylar and his good production
- 1:19:05continue in 2025. And finally, Shidor Sanders has
- 1:19:10made it known that he does not want his famous father, Deon
- 1:19:13Sanders, at Brown's training camp.
- 1:19:15Shidor, who had a historic fall to the fifth round in this
- 1:19:17year's NFL Draft after being thought of as a top two pick in
- 1:19:20the media for most of the season, says that I don't want
- 1:19:23him coming to see me right now because I want to get to where I
- 1:19:26want to go. Then for him to see me, I don't
- 1:19:29want him to come and see me and get a couple of reps and he is
- 1:19:31cheering like a good dad, like, Nah, you can't be proud of me
- 1:19:34right now. I got to get to where I'm going,
- 1:19:37and I know it's a lot I got to do to get there.
- 1:19:40Dionne, who is recovering from surgery to treat him for a tumor
- 1:19:43and bladder cancer and is getting ready for his college
- 1:19:45season at University of Colorado.

- 1:22:24It was a interesting story as we broke it last week and now,
- 1:22:29ladies and gentlemen, he's calmly, he's calm, he's waiting,
- 1:22:34and he is doing his thing in Tampa.
- 1:22:37We are now talking to former 11 year MLB outfielding vet and
- 1:22:42former Phillies, Guardians, Pirates and Astros player Jason
- 1:22:48Michaels. Jason, what is up my friend, how
- 1:22:52you doing? Thanks for having me on and.
- 1:22:53By the way, it's the Indians, not the guardians.
- 1:22:56I'm sorry. Don't say that to Job, but
- 1:22:59you're going to piss Job off. No, he played for the Indians.
- 1:23:02He didn't play for the. Guardian.
- 1:23:03I know, I know. I think it's disrespect, you
- 1:23:07know, I don't. Whatever we can.
- 1:23:09That's a whole other story. Listen, I get myself.
- 1:23:12Enough. I get myself in trouble enough
- 1:23:14on this show. People love to attack me on
- 1:23:16social media. So me coming out and saying I
- 1:23:18wanted to I wanted you to say Jason, because I don't want to
- 1:23:21get myself into trouble. It's enough that people are
- 1:23:24attacking me about damn Anthony Edwards and my takes on Anthony
- 1:23:28Edwards cry me a damn river. What is wrong with people?
- 1:23:33I I got my take. I love Anthony Edwards.
- 1:23:35Let's stop. I I don't want to get into it.
- 1:23:37Let's get into the Phillies. What is going on with the
- 1:23:40Philadelphia Phillies? I know they they had a
- 1:23:42sensational game yesterday and they're up and down.
- 1:23:46I do not know what this team is. What is this team?
- 1:23:49What is the identity of this Philadelphia Phillies team?
- 1:23:52You know, I'm not sure I'm watching the.
- 1:23:54Yankees game right now and the Rangers.
- 1:23:56I saw the game last night. Sanchez was.
- 1:23:59That was fun to be a hitter today, right now, last night.
- 1:24:02He had. Such good control of his change
- 1:24:04up that was. And then who was the closer that
- 1:24:08came in Duron 100 and three? .3 Sorry about your luck.
- 1:24:13That's it. Yeah, no big deal.
- 1:24:18So. I think that was a pretty good
- 1:24:20pick up by the Phillies there. So maybe that'll give them a
- 1:24:22little bit of a boost. But other than that, the
- 1:24:26Phillies, I mean, they got they got the parts.
- 1:24:30They do, they got the parts. And it's just up to them to to
- 1:24:33keep, to capitalize and just to continue to win series.
- 1:24:36Bottom line, you got to win series.
- 1:24:38Winning that first game of the series is huge.
- 1:24:41And you know, Java can tell you that.
- 1:24:43But you got to win that first game.
- 1:24:45That's always that's always a big one.
- 1:24:47But yeah, but I'm watching this these this Yankees game.
- 1:24:50Oh, please stop it. Just.
- 1:24:52Got a little upset with jazz. Again, shocker, I thought he.
- 1:24:57Had AI thought he. Had a play.
- 1:24:59Let me tell you something, Jason.
- 1:25:01This guy. Over here in the corner and I, I
- 1:25:03love Jabba. Me and him have been working
- 1:25:05together now for a year. We've built a good relationship.
- 1:25:08I don't love him. Stop.
- 1:25:11Stop. I remember.
- 1:25:12That we started, we were. So we started working together
- 1:25:16during the playoffs, during the playoffs last year, and he had
- 1:25:20this like, I couldn't stand this guy.
- 1:25:23And he has this like love fest for Jazz Chisholm.
- 1:25:26And he was like, what do you hate this guy for?
- 1:25:28I respect the fact he's in the big leagues.
- 1:25:30OK all. Right I I.
- 1:25:32I respect the fact that a lot of these guys are in the big
- 1:25:34leagues and this guy to me should be playing AAA baseball.
- 1:25:38The amount of debacle blunders that he's had so far in the last
- 1:25:41couple of weeks. This guy, did you watch him?
- 1:25:44Did you watch him at the Home Run Derby?
- 1:25:46This guy was yapping and prancing, dancing around with
- 1:25:49his stupid ass chains, and then he goes out there and lays A
- 1:25:52lousy goose egg right in front of the fans.
- 1:25:55That was embarrassing. Embarrassing.
- 1:25:57And then what did he? And then?
- 1:25:58What did he say? The reason why he didn't do
- 1:26:00well, I didn't want to mess up my swing.
- 1:26:02Then why the why the fuck did you get into it?
- 1:26:05Why do you? That that goes to exactly.
- 1:26:07What we were talking about. Earlier too, like he always does
- 1:26:09these things, like that one, when he got picked off, he said
- 1:26:12he was trying to make a play. What play are you trying to
- 1:26:15make? There's no play to make, I know.
- 1:26:17Like you just dig yourself a deeper.
- 1:26:19Hole like I respect the fact what he does.
- 1:26:22He's he's an average. Player he's going to run into
- 1:26:24ones whatever like he is what he is.
- 1:26:27But like when you start digging yourself holes out like
- 1:26:29especially after the Home Run Derby, like you knew what you
- 1:26:31were getting yourself into. You just oh, the fall back.
- 1:26:33Is that why do it? Probably.
- 1:26:36If you got a bonus. To do it, not that that matters,
- 1:26:39but like I was trying to make a play.
- 1:26:41There's no play to be made. If there was a play to be made
- 1:26:43and you were being aggressive, I don't mind the physical errors.
- 1:26:46I don't mind those. Like if you're trying to stretch
- 1:26:48it and you do that, but a mental error and then try to come back
- 1:26:51and be like, yeah, I was trying to make a play when there was no
- 1:26:53play to be made. And then he said.
- 1:26:55And then he said he that he. Wouldn't there was nothing he
- 1:26:57would do different. He would do the same thing again
- 1:27:00and I'm like that. Doesn't make any.
- 1:27:02Sense to me. Imagine if that happened.
- 1:27:05In the clubhouse back, like no freaking way you would get.
- 1:27:09Knocked out. Yeah, there, there would
- 1:27:12probably. Be a fight or at least some
- 1:27:13pushing and 100% and you know you didn't.
- 1:27:16Need the manager. To take you out, I feel.
- 1:27:21Like Booney should have took him out.
- 1:27:22Then that's just my. Deal.
- 1:27:26I mean, you got, you got to. Have some accountability.
- 1:27:28How else you going to have some accountability?
- 1:27:30He doesn't have any apparently. You got you got to show your
- 1:27:34team that hey, I don't give a shit if you're an everyday
- 1:27:36player. I'm going to take your ass out.
- 1:27:38You do something stupid. Bottom line, it is what it is.
- 1:27:41You sit out for the rest of the game.
- 1:27:42You cheer on your guys next day, back in the saddle tomorrow, but
- 1:27:47that's. Not the first time we've.
- 1:27:48Seen. Jazz come out there and Prance
- 1:27:51out there and make mistakes. And then after the game, how
- 1:27:54many times have we heard, oh, we're still one of the best
- 1:27:57defensive teams in the league. We're still the best team in the
- 1:27:59American League. Where, where do you see the best
- 1:28:02team in the American League? Now?
- 1:28:03The American League to me is mediocre.
- 1:28:06I I do not think there's a powerhouse in this American
- 1:28:09League. I really don't.
- 1:28:10The Blue Jays, do they scare me? Not really a do does really
- 1:28:15right now with the Texas Rangers, besides what they have
- 1:28:18with the Grom and and what they could prance out there in a
- 1:28:20playoffs. The back-to-back pitchers are,
- 1:28:23are they really scary? Seattle, any one of these teams,
- 1:28:26Detroit, a young team, Are we really scared?
- 1:28:29The Astros, they had a Correa and it's a trade deadline.
- 1:28:32None of these teams really stick out to me like they're world
- 1:28:36beaters. But Jazz Chisholm coming out and
- 1:28:38saying, hey, you know what? We're still the best team in the
- 1:28:41American League. I could argue we're the best
- 1:28:43team in the major leagues. What are you smoking, dude?
- 1:28:46It is legalized here in in New York to smoke marijuana.
- 1:28:49Maybe he's smoking too many trees.
- 1:28:52I I mean seriously or smoking something that's getting to his
- 1:28:55brain and it's burnt. I don't get how's the?
- 1:28:59How's the? Media with him, with jazz, are
- 1:29:02they calling him out? The fans love him here.
- 1:29:05The fans. Absolutely love him.
- 1:29:07I can't stand him, but the fans love him because of his
- 1:29:10personality. But when you make blunders like
- 1:29:13he did the other day and then after the game making excuses,
- 1:29:18eventually you're not you're not taking accountability like you
- 1:29:21guys, both you and Jabba said Jason.
- 1:29:24So what a fans going to start looking at they're going to look
- 1:29:27at this guy and say he's an absolute joke.
- 1:29:29Why is he on this roster? And again, that goes to Brian
- 1:29:32Cashman. That goes to ownership on the
- 1:29:35way. They decided over the last
- 1:29:38couple of weeks before the trade deadline.
- 1:29:41Hey, Josh Chisholm's having a great season.
- 1:29:43Well, at one point he was having a great season.
- 1:29:45Maybe we should move him. He doesn't fit here.
- 1:29:48He doesn't work here in New York because of his mouth.
- 1:29:51But the Yankees decide, hey, he's a top ten second baseman
- 1:29:55right now. We're going to keep this idiot
- 1:29:57when they have labor. Torres right now having a
- 1:29:59breakout season and looks like he's going to earn his money in
- 1:30:03the offseason because the Yankees are wrong about him.
- 1:30:06And by the way, how about this? Besides John Carlos Stan, who
- 1:30:10has better numbers than Glaber Torres in the playoffs over the
- 1:30:14last couple of years for the Yankees, the answer just John
- 1:30:17Carlos Stanton. So that tells me the Yankees
- 1:30:20made the wrong decision when it came to deciding if Glaber
- 1:30:24Torres fit there. Because Volpe definitely doesn't
- 1:30:29Volpe. You know, Volpe is a better
- 1:30:36player than what he's showing, at least hitting wise.
- 1:30:39I haven't seen him much, you know, defensively I know
- 1:30:41whatever it is. I mean, but I mean, I know he's
- 1:30:45got his home runs or whatever. I don't give a shit.
- 1:30:46I don't he's not a home run hitter.
- 1:30:48Stop trying to hit him fucking home runs.
- 1:30:50Bottom line. Like I remember here when he was
- 1:30:52in Tampa last time, I mean, they they just kept throwing him up
- 1:30:56and he kept fucking swinging. And I'm like, dude, what are you
- 1:30:59doing? Make a fucking adjustment.
- 1:31:01Try to hit a line drive and that's what that's to me, that's
- 1:31:04what's going on in baseball today.
- 1:31:06Like there's not there's not 1300 hitter in National League
- 1:31:09and I think there's maybe 6 in the American League.
- 1:31:12That's awful. Not to say any of the pitching
- 1:31:15is good, but let me tell you something.
- 1:31:18It's a hitter's umpire all. These umpires are.
- 1:31:20Hitters, umpires and Joplin's going to you would tell the
- 1:31:23exact same thing. I mean, they are squeezing the
- 1:31:25shit out of these pitchers. All of them I can't imagine.
- 1:31:29Like this is a, this is. A hitter's umpire, every single
- 1:31:32one of these guys. And so to me, there should be
- 1:31:35more hitting, but it's more that these guys want to.
- 1:31:40It's in the home run or nothing. That's it.
- 1:31:41They don't give a shit if they strike out.
- 1:31:43I gave a shit big time if I struck out.
- 1:31:46It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing as hell, but
- 1:31:48some of these guys don't give a fuck.
- 1:31:49So switch it back to Yeah, I was going to say switch.
- 1:31:51It back to. The Phillies 2.
- 1:31:53Controversial comments that were made last week about with Bryce
- 1:31:56Harper and Nick Casillanos taking shots at Rob Manford
- 1:31:58about the the salary cap in baseball.
- 1:32:00Where do you stand on that whole debate?
- 1:32:02Yeah, there doesn't need to be a salary cap.
- 1:32:04I'll tell you right now, owners are making too much money.
- 1:32:07How did it get out? How did it?
- 1:32:09I mean, Bryce Harper vented at him.
- 1:32:11They literally went in a. Meeting and and just vented at
- 1:32:13him was there was there media or.
- 1:32:16Anything in there? No Castellanos talked about it
- 1:32:18afterwards. Let's keep it quiet.
- 1:32:20Just I mean, it's like you. Got to hold your cards.
- 1:32:22I mean, I think everybody knows. I mean, obviously the players or
- 1:32:25the players association, which I hope they get in there.
- 1:32:27Good pitch right there. See, see how they, I don't know
- 1:32:30if you're watching this game. Yeah, we have it on.
- 1:32:32We have it on time. Thank you for calling.
- 1:32:36That a ball, that's what I'm. Saying.
- 1:32:37But here's the thing. And I I know.
- 1:32:39Everybody's we we can go back and forth on the salary cap and
- 1:32:43and and what players should be making if that's the case.
- 1:32:46All right, you don't want obviously cap you, you want
- 1:32:49players to decide what they should be making.
- 1:32:52OK, so maybe the the league figures out how that they can
- 1:32:57adjust this where you can go to a bowl game.
- 1:33:00It's too expensive to go to ball games.
- 1:33:02Now, Jason Jabba, you know this. I mean, to get a hot dog, we, we
- 1:33:06put up the numbers. It's like $30 to get a hot dog.
- 1:33:09It really is. To get a sausage and Peppers,
- 1:33:12it's like 20 something dollars. How could you afford to take
- 1:33:16your kids to go and watch Aaron Judge play or get a chance to
- 1:33:20see Max Freed on a mound when you get a chance to see one of
- 1:33:22the better pitchers in baseball pitch on a mound with the
- 1:33:25Yankees? I mean, to me, it's
- 1:33:27embarrassing. So if you think there shouldn't
- 1:33:30be a cap, well, how does this work out for for the the young,
- 1:33:34the young fans out there that want to get a chance to see
- 1:33:37their favorite players? To me it's not really the.
- 1:33:40Concessions, though, that's that, that that could be
- 1:33:42adjusted. That's just being greedy, you
- 1:33:45know, And they're going, hey, they're here.
- 1:33:46We can charge it. It's, you know.
- 1:33:50These owners are. Very well off, let's put it that
- 1:33:53way. I'm not advocating that we need
- 1:33:55to have. I mean, these are some big ass
- 1:33:57salaries out there and maybe it needs to be something more with,
- 1:34:02you know, like the lower market teams.
- 1:34:04I mean the lower market teams, they're not they're not putting
- 1:34:06any money into their into their team as the big market teams.
- 1:34:10If they have the stones to do it Tampa, they won't put they will
- 1:34:13not get anybody big, but they usually put out a pretty
- 1:34:17competitive product and they do a good job with with their
- 1:34:20player development. You know, they're scouting all
- 1:34:23the I'm not worried about the scouts.
- 1:34:24It's more the player development with the each of these teams,
- 1:34:27the talents there. I just don't think, I think MLB
- 1:34:31is just they they want ass in the stands.
- 1:34:33They want you to to come yes jerseys, all this shit, but it
- 1:34:37all really comes from the TV contracts.
- 1:34:40You know I don't know what happened with this ESPN deal.
- 1:34:42They just they pulled that because I guess they rather have
- 1:34:44NBA on there that nobody fucking watches.
- 1:34:49No we. I know.
- 1:34:50That's going down the NBA. I mean, well, ESPN in the NFL
- 1:34:54then I work F. Connected now I mean honestly,
- 1:34:57everything that we're seeing all these organizations they're
- 1:35:00starting to bring them together because they're they feel that
- 1:35:03it'll bring in more endorsements and more sponsorships and
- 1:35:06advertisements and money. So I Major League over the years
- 1:35:10they're they're trying to catch up to the NFL, they're trying to
- 1:35:13catch up to the NBA. That's what they're doing.
- 1:35:16And again, going back to what we're saying the Yankees right
- 1:35:21now or the the faces of baseball, they're still you you
- 1:35:24could say whatever you want about the Dodgers.
- 1:35:26They will always be. They are the faces.
- 1:35:29Of baseball, but. Then you go to how Steinbrenner
- 1:35:32and how he's run this team differently than George.
- 1:35:35You you shake your head, Yankee fans shake the head.
- 1:35:38But if you look at the cap and the the way the Yankees are
- 1:35:40spending, they're still spending massive amount of money.
- 1:35:43So there's they're just picking the wrong players.
- 1:35:46So that's that's the way I look at the Yankees.
- 1:35:48That's a different animal. Not everybody could play.
- 1:35:50There and, you know, like you come to the trade deadline here
- 1:35:53and you got some, he picked up some guys.
- 1:35:55Not everybody fits. They could be having, you know,
- 1:35:58good, good, you know, numbers of elsewhere.
- 1:36:01But New York's a different animal.
- 1:36:03Just bottom line, like everybody's calling for boonies
- 1:36:05head like what the fucks, boonie?
- 1:36:07I don't need my he's fine, OK, I'm the player.
- 1:36:11I'm the one that's held accountable.
- 1:36:13Although who gets who gets fired at the coaches, but they're
- 1:36:17usually always the scapegoat for.
- 1:36:19Sure, absolutely. So I don't know.
- 1:36:22I feel like a lot of the GMs of these teams are making the
- 1:36:25decisions because of their. Analytical bullshit.
- 1:36:30And that's, that's Jason. That's kind of what.
- 1:36:32We've we've heard too. That's what I knew from numerous
- 1:36:35people. And.
- 1:36:36People close to the game and some guys that cover it is it's
- 1:36:41basically he's he's the puppet of what they want from the front
- 1:36:44office. And.
- 1:36:45And we've heard that more than once.
- 1:36:47Like I said, I'm not in the front office, I'm not in the
- 1:36:49clubhouse. I'm I'm not making it.
- 1:36:51But if you hear it once and if you hear it twice, yeah, OK, but
- 1:36:56you hear it more than that there.
- 1:36:57There's got to be some legs to it.
- 1:36:58And it just it, it feels like that too, because you can only,
- 1:37:03you can only stand behind your and do you want your manager to
- 1:37:05stand behind you 100%? You don't want him to, you know,
- 1:37:08roll over you with the bus and back it up and go forward again.
- 1:37:11I mean, there are times where you, we know we suck when we
- 1:37:13suck. Like it's OK to tell me I suck.
- 1:37:15I know I suck. You're not.
- 1:37:17You're not talking down to me. Or saying.
- 1:37:21Something that we don't know. Like I know I suck.
- 1:37:23He's better than that. You know what he's he's
- 1:37:25struggling right now, but we're going to figure that's there's
- 1:37:27nothing wrong with that. And I don't see enough of that
- 1:37:31where we're grown men like we know and we suck.
- 1:37:35This is a performance based. It's what you've done for me
- 1:37:37lately. I understand that.
- 1:37:39But when you're, you know, in three seasons, you're literally
- 1:37:43adding onto your errors. And I'm I'm using Volpe as an
- 1:37:46example where he's got 16 errors already in 111 games and he's
- 1:37:51leading the league. And so there's there's just and
- 1:37:54everybody and every. Article.
- 1:37:56Is like, all right, is he running a Country Club or is he
- 1:37:58running a clubhouse? And is he your friend or is he
- 1:38:01going to hold you accountable? Has been the word that I think
- 1:38:04has been beat over the head so many times.
- 1:38:06And and we can say it, but it just, it feels like that from
- 1:38:10afar as you see these things that keep happening and we're
- 1:38:13not talking about just one time. We're talking about it keeps
- 1:38:16happening. And where at some point do you
- 1:38:19just like enough's enough? Like do you need a day or two?
- 1:38:22Like do you need, I'm not saying be sent down or what it, but
- 1:38:26like, do you just need like a couple days?
- 1:38:27Like, you know, like there's some days you just need like a
- 1:38:30me day. Like, you know what, I'm just
- 1:38:31going to get to the yard and I'm going to stuff my face in the
- 1:38:35food room and I'm going to do nothing.
- 1:38:37I'm not going to take any swings.
- 1:38:39And sometimes less is more where?
- 1:38:41You can just. Get out of your own Dome.
- 1:38:43And I think what happens now? And we kind of caught like the
- 1:38:48the beginning of this analytical side of things, right where I
- 1:38:53feel like it's so much becomes paralysis by analysis because
- 1:38:56it's always in your face. You don't ever have that chance
- 1:38:59to just get the hell away from it.
- 1:39:02It's like, hey, there's an iPad right when you get back in the
- 1:39:04dugout, this is your pitches. There's the video room.
- 1:39:07It's all right there. You don't have time just to sit
- 1:39:09there and throw a dip in or put bubble gum or pop some seeds
- 1:39:12without it all just being right in front of your face.
- 1:39:16It's just a different. Yeah.
- 1:39:17Different. Generation though, than when we
- 1:39:20played. I mean, everybody's fucking
- 1:39:21sensitive nowadays. Fucking yes.
- 1:39:25It's OK. You could tell me I suck 100%.
- 1:39:28I know I did. Thank you, Thank you.
- 1:39:30I, you know what? I want you to hear that.
- 1:39:31I don't want you to pat me on the back.
- 1:39:33Yeah, No, I want you to tell me to pull my.
- 1:39:35Head out of my ass. And figure it out.
- 1:39:36I want you to pat me on the back.
- 1:39:38That would be. Nice, I get a a pat on the back
- 1:39:40from Joppa Chamberlain. Oh, you trying to steal a base
- 1:39:43on me? That's still not going to
- 1:39:46happen. But but yeah, I just, it's, it's
- 1:39:50amazing that they don't. They don't have it.
- 1:39:53Each organization's. Put so much.
- 1:39:55Money in the analytical department and I think they're
- 1:39:57taking away from player development because they're
- 1:40:00they're, they're making their decisions on all.
- 1:40:02Numbers that we're human now. Even when when I played, we had
- 1:40:07plenty of information about the pitchers and what all the
- 1:40:10bullshit. That's that's what that our
- 1:40:11advanced scouts did. So we had it.
- 1:40:13Yeah, we had it. But now they have.
- 1:40:16These guys have fucking booklets sitting on their chairs when
- 1:40:20they get to their first game of their series.
- 1:40:23You know, like right now guaranteed that the Yankees,
- 1:40:25they had, you know what, here in Texas, they had a big ass
- 1:40:28booklet of all these fucking numbers.
- 1:40:30We're not fucking math geniuses. You keep telling me all that
- 1:40:33shit. Oh, 22% of the time at 1-2
- 1:40:36count, he throws this pitch. Who gives a fuck?
- 1:40:38Maybe he doesn't have that pitch that day.
- 1:40:40And I hate, I hated that Jason too, because.
- 1:40:43I would look at I would get the sheet hot, cold zone and and
- 1:40:47hitters counts, whatever. Like, oh, he's terrible to
- 1:40:49change up. I had a horseshit change up.
- 1:40:51Why are you even throwing that in my information?
- 1:40:53Like I don't want to see it because now I'm like 01/2.
- 1:40:57I can try and it's terrible. Like let me pitch to my
- 1:41:00strength. I don't need to have all of
- 1:41:02this. Like I don't need it.
- 1:41:05It's. Amazing, you know, getting on
- 1:41:06some people on Twitter. Sometimes I just do it just to
- 1:41:08fuck around, just to fucking, you know, get it going a little
- 1:41:11bit. I'm bored, you know, and like
- 1:41:14some of these. Oh, I had some.
- 1:41:15I had some keyboard. Warriors come at me today with
- 1:41:17like plus WRC and whatever and I was like, is this English or
- 1:41:20hieroglyphics? Like are you coaching them
- 1:41:22going? Are you Coach Fish?
- 1:41:23Over there, I don't understand that I.
- 1:41:26Really don't dude. I love it and people are.
- 1:41:28Like, Hey, be careful, these keyboard warriors.
- 1:41:30And I'm like, I was like, I want all the smoke like because I'm
- 1:41:33learning just as you are, like I know some of them.
- 1:41:36I'm not speedy and know like all of the plus minus extra whatever
- 1:41:41jargon Jabba, I think fish is worse than speedy.
- 1:41:43Now, I mean, he's got all the analytics.
- 1:41:46Yeah, he's even worse. I mean, we're we're on the
- 1:41:49phone. He's telling me about this
- 1:41:51analytic to that analytic. I'm like, what the hell does
- 1:41:54this all, I mean, trying to make you money, man.
- 1:41:57I I think there are some I can't.
- 1:41:59I can't say all analytics suck. There's there's some good ones.
- 1:42:03I think there's a lot of shit that you're just like, man, that
- 1:42:07doesn't apply to any anybody here.
- 1:42:09We're still human job and I, we kind of feel the same way.
- 1:42:11I feel like, you know, kind of talking for you, but that the
- 1:42:15game has changed. I I'm upset about the hitters
- 1:42:17because we have hitters on pyres.
- 1:42:20I don't feel like the guys are throwing all that much harder
- 1:42:24because it didn't change that The are they are they taking the
- 1:42:28radar out of the hand now? Yeah, it's, it's definitely
- 1:42:32changed for sure. Although there are guys with.
- 1:42:36I guess plus 90 shit. Yeah, now it's now.
- 1:42:38It's the exact opposite now if you don't.
- 1:42:39Throw 95. They're like, I mean, we use a
- 1:42:42great example like Joe Ryan or guys like that that can spin it
- 1:42:44really well, but don't throw 95. They're just like, what?
- 1:42:48And if a guy does it, it's like, whoa, I just watched Merrill
- 1:42:51Kelly. Throw for the Rangers on
- 1:42:53Saturday, man, I was impressed. I mean, oh, he can pitch.
- 1:42:57He. I've never really watched him.
- 1:42:59Other than the world? Baseball Classic, You know, he's
- 1:43:01in Arizona, I'm in Florida. I'm not really seeing it, but
- 1:43:04man, I was really impressed. He had both sides of the baby
- 1:43:08topped out at 93, you know, But he had great arm.
- 1:43:13Like you couldn't tell if it was a fastball, it was a four
- 1:43:15seamers Tinker or a change up. I don't like that as a hitter.
- 1:43:19I like I liked him as a pick up too.
- 1:43:21Coming from the Diamondbacks, because they were getting rid of
- 1:43:23people, but obviously they didn't get a starter.
- 1:43:26But that's neither here nor there, I guess.
- 1:43:28But yeah, it's I, I, I like those guys because at the same
- 1:43:33time, and, and I use this and I ask people all this time, like
- 1:43:37could Jamie, like if you looked and and saw Jamie Moore pitch
- 1:43:40right now, would he pitch in the big leagues?
- 1:43:41No. If you looked and saw Dustin
- 1:43:43Pedrella, what would you say? Like, Nope, not big enough, not
- 1:43:46fast enough. It's bat speed's not good
- 1:43:48enough, blah, blah, blah. Like I agree with what you said
- 1:43:50earlier. And it's like not all of the
- 1:43:53analytics are bad. I think there's some of that are
- 1:43:55very useful, but I also think there's a time and a place for
- 1:43:59all of them where that can go with these things right here and
- 1:44:03watch the game and see how it unfolds.
- 1:44:04And that's a gamer. Like I want that dude like he's
- 1:44:07going to grind at bats for me and he's going to do the little
- 1:44:10things, get runners over, play the game the right way and, you
- 1:44:14know, just be be that be that person where you a analytical.
- 1:44:19Will not tell. You that that dude's a gamer.
- 1:44:21It's like, oh, he has great spin rate, whatever, but you couldn't
- 1:44:25put a Grease BB up his ass when the game's on the line and he
- 1:44:27can't get it done. I don't want that guy.
- 1:44:30We all know gamers. We all know 100.
- 1:44:31Percent there's gamers where you're like in.
- 1:44:34Practice or. BP, you're like this guy is just
- 1:44:36not that good, but he finds it puts finds a way to put the
- 1:44:39barrel of the battle on the ball and then the exact opposite.
- 1:44:41You get the 5:00 all. Star that you're like, damn,
- 1:44:43this dude has to be good and then he's terrible and that's
- 1:44:47what I think. What these guys?
- 1:44:50Are they're just going? To batting practice and watching
- 1:44:52the show, they're going all we can hit.
- 1:44:54No, he fucking can't. In the World Series when AJ
- 1:44:57Hinch, I heard, I think it might have been 17 that he they had
- 1:45:01the spin rates and they were lining up the spin rate of this
- 1:45:04reliever starter with this hitter.
- 1:45:06And if that didn't match, I don't know how they fucking
- 1:45:09judge that. Then they wouldn't put him in
- 1:45:10like that, right? There is not a baseball thing as
- 1:45:14a coach, like I don't give a shit who the pitcher is in.
- 1:45:17I'm going to get my best hitter that has given me the best at
- 1:45:21bats. I don't give a shit if he's left
- 1:45:22ear, right? I really don't.
- 1:45:23But now I think a lot of managers manage for the media
- 1:45:27because the media is going to ask the questions they don't
- 1:45:29want to have to go, well, this is what I want to do.
- 1:45:31And the media is just going to jump on, yeah, because they're
- 1:45:33going to. They're going to have that.
- 1:45:35Analytic like, oh, he was like they used Rosario tonight for
- 1:45:38the Yankees. He was hitting point O87 and
- 1:45:42then he gets a double and they're like, oh, he's. 5 for 37
- 1:45:45now. Oh blah blah blah I.
- 1:45:48Hate the media too. And by the.
- 1:45:49Way we are talking to former 11 year MLB outfield Jason Michaels
- 1:45:54he's a hitting coach right now in Tampa.
- 1:45:56He's doing some things over there helping young boys and
- 1:45:59young kids develop their swing. As we all know speedy, you need
- 1:46:05to develop a swing. Maybe you need to.
- 1:46:06I was never good. I think my swings a.
- 1:46:08Lost cause and I hate the media and one everybody says well.
- 1:46:11You're the media. And here's the here's the
- 1:46:12problem with the media. They think they know more than
- 1:46:15the player. They think they could figure out
- 1:46:18what's the problem with the hitter?
- 1:46:19What's the problem with the pitcher?
- 1:46:21They don't know crap. What the hell does the media
- 1:46:23know? Oh, if you pitch a little lower,
- 1:46:25you pitch outside or you pitch a little higher and throw your
- 1:46:28heat up, you know, upright, you're going to strike this guy.
- 1:46:31You don't know nothing. How the hell do you know?
- 1:46:33And the media just thinks they're oh, what did you play
- 1:46:36Little League baseball? How the hell?
- 1:46:38And, and again, because they write for the New York Times or
- 1:46:41they write for a certain magazine or they write for the
- 1:46:43Yankees blog, they know more than everybody else does.
- 1:46:47That's the problem right now when it comes to media work.
- 1:46:49Media thinks that they when they say something, people are going
- 1:46:53to listen, including the players and and now you got players that
- 1:46:56are tuning in and listening to what these guys are writing and
- 1:46:59it either pisses them off or it throws them off.
- 1:47:02Guys like you, Jabba, I know you never when you were playing
- 1:47:05baseball, I know you weren't watching you reading what
- 1:47:09Newsday was writing about you or the daily Daily Post.
- 1:47:12You didn't have to because you were playing for the New York
- 1:47:14Yankees. All you had to do was strut out
- 1:47:16there in the 8th or 9th inning and do what you do best and that
- 1:47:19strike people out. Now if you have guys I don't
- 1:47:22know, you have all these different guys that the Yankees
- 1:47:25are trotting out there. Devin Williams.
- 1:47:27Devin Williams is definitely when he was in that in that
- 1:47:30slump. You don't think Devin Williams
- 1:47:32was reading the Newsday or reading what was going on all
- 1:47:35over social media. Of course he was what Jason said
- 1:47:39too in like. How it's different pitching in
- 1:47:41New York, like, and I think he he didn't realize like obviously
- 1:47:45people say that and they're like, Oh yeah, it's New York,
- 1:47:47blah blah, blah. But it's a different animal.
- 1:47:49Milwaukee's different pitching, and if you give up a couple yet,
- 1:47:52whatever, but you come here and it's easy to get in your.
- 1:47:56Own Dome because like. You said Errol.
- 1:47:58It's all right in front of you. It's all right there.
- 1:48:00Like if he lives in the city, he's walking down, you know, the
- 1:48:03street vendor, It's all right there.
- 1:48:04It's a headline. Like you can't help but notice
- 1:48:07it. Is he reading it?
- 1:48:09It's his own stupid ass fault. If he is reading it, it is.
- 1:48:13Absolutely you. You did the interview.
- 1:48:15You knew you. Know what, like you know you
- 1:48:17suck. You know, you were pitching to
- 1:48:19an 11 at one point in the year and you're pitching to A5 now.
- 1:48:21Like we know that's not good. You know it like you don't need
- 1:48:24to add fuel to the five and that goes to Anthony Volpe.
- 1:48:27You're going to. Tell me right now, Anthony Volpe
- 1:48:29is right now just playing terrible baseball.
- 1:48:31He can't play defense. He can't.
- 1:48:33He can't do anything. This guy won a Gold Glove his
- 1:48:36rookie season. Now the guy can't even throw the
- 1:48:38first base. He's a Chuck Knob Lock wannabe.
- 1:48:41I mean, honestly, you're going to tell me that he's not reading
- 1:48:44what's going on in magazines and newspapers right now?
- 1:48:47Of course he is. It shouldn't be.
- 1:48:50It's shoved in your. Face.
- 1:48:51I mean you go in the. In the clubhouse and it's all
- 1:48:54they got all the media you know printouts and you know I came up
- 1:48:58through the Philly organization and so it doesn't really matter
- 1:49:00anybody East Coast tough and then I went to Cleveland and I
- 1:49:04was like whoa this is this is different here awesome which
- 1:49:08what I. Learned though, and I tell.
- 1:49:09People this and what I learned in Philly is I remember the old
- 1:49:13the the veteran guys coming up and say, listen, you do
- 1:49:15something good, they're going to say something, but some
- 1:49:17accountability. Don't try to fight them.
- 1:49:19Don't try to you know this or blame that.
- 1:49:22Don't do it. Just have some accountability.
- 1:49:24So I think it it helped me have a young player first quick,
- 1:49:28because Philly would fucking blew the shit out of you if you
- 1:49:31didn't run hard Nowaday. I don't know how, because you
- 1:49:35know, not all the guys were running hard.
- 1:49:36Not I'm not saying a percent every time, but not fucking 50.
- 1:49:41No, but they're also but again, they're making.
- 1:49:43A lot more money. You have Juan Soto not trotting
- 1:49:45up the first base. He's getting killed by the
- 1:49:48media. We've seen that.
- 1:49:49How about Robertson Cano? How many times did we see
- 1:49:52Robertson Cano not run to first base and how he got killed by
- 1:49:56the media? And this guy was one of the best
- 1:49:58hitters we've ever seen come from the Yankees organization
- 1:50:01for like, in the last 20 years. And he could not run the first
- 1:50:05base. And everybody said, oh, this
- 1:50:07guy's not running. He's not.
- 1:50:09The Yankees shouldn't sign him. And media was throwing him onto
- 1:50:11the bus. Meanwhile, he was a great.
- 1:50:13He was a shutdown defender, and he had some pop in his bat for a
- 1:50:16second baseman. Yeah, he was doing other things.
- 1:50:20I don't know. Hopefully he wasn't doing that
- 1:50:21with the Yankees, but we don't know.
- 1:50:22You know Cano, he just has that personality.
- 1:50:25That's just his personality where it like it comes easy to
- 1:50:28him, the game comes easy to him and it does it like that's
- 1:50:32different majority of players more than a lot.
- 1:50:35I mean, there's only a few baseball players that are like
- 1:50:37gifted. Other than that other ones,
- 1:50:40there's just this hard nosed hard workers.
- 1:50:42You just go out there and you and you compete and not let the
- 1:50:45negative down. That's really, I mean, there's
- 1:50:47there's a lot of talent in the minor leagues, but but it's it's
- 1:50:51it could be it's between the ears and not letting the
- 1:50:54negative for the failure of the game bring it down.
- 1:50:57Jason, That's what I'm saying even with the quarterback.
- 1:50:59Position we look at all these quarterbacks, their first round
- 1:51:01draft picks, second round draft picks and the future of these
- 1:51:04organizations and these organizations pay a lot of money
- 1:51:07now to these first round ask, ask The Jets with Zach Wilson.
- 1:51:11We go back and back and back and back and back year in and year
- 1:51:14out for different organizations and they just strike out every
- 1:51:18single time. And then, you know, 20 years
- 1:51:20later, they finally hit a home run and the guy can't stay
- 1:51:23healthy and you pay him a ton of money, boatload of money.
- 1:51:26That's the problem with professional sports now.
- 1:51:28And we can go back and forth. There's just so much money.
- 1:51:31It's become a business. Nobody cares about the
- 1:51:34camaraderie anymore. Everybody says, oh, I, I miss
- 1:51:37playing in the locker rooms. We, we heard that for Tom Brady.
- 1:51:40And now he took a shot at Scotty Scheffler last week and Scotty
- 1:51:44Scheffler coming out and saying, I'd rather be with my family and
- 1:51:47hang out with my family then play Professional Golf.
- 1:51:49And then Tom Brady, well, he throws Scotty Scheffler under
- 1:51:53the bus saying, oh, you, why can't you do both?
- 1:51:55Well, dude, you're the one who had a divorce.
- 1:51:58You're the one who decided to walk, walk away from the sport
- 1:52:01and tell your wife you're never coming back.
- 1:52:02And then you come back 2-3 weeks later and that's why you have a
- 1:52:05divorce and why your wife sleeping with another man and
- 1:52:08you're taking shots at Scheffler.
- 1:52:10Come on, man. That just, I don't get it.
- 1:52:13I don't get it. Why anybody is opening the
- 1:52:15mouth? I don't get it.
- 1:52:18I don't get. It I I really don't I and that's
- 1:52:20the problem with media and why we do this.
- 1:52:22Everything. Everybody in their mother has a
- 1:52:24podcast. But here's the problem when they
- 1:52:27go out there and I'm not attacking anybody and and guys
- 1:52:29and women or listening to my show, listening to money Jabba
- 1:52:33show over the last couple of months and years, a year that
- 1:52:36we've been doing this. When we come out on this show,
- 1:52:38we tell, I tell the truth. And Jabba says I'm probably one
- 1:52:42of the most controversial people he's ever worked with.
- 1:52:45OK. And the reason why I'm
- 1:52:46controversial is, is the one reason why I've always been this
- 1:52:51type of person offset of a radio show.
- 1:52:54I'm not going to beat around the Bush.
- 1:52:56I'm just going to drive it in. And if you don't like it, you
- 1:52:59can shove it up your ass. And that's the way I say it.
- 1:53:02Jabba is a is a calm, collective guy in his own little way.
- 1:53:06And Jabba tries to hold back on some of the things he says
- 1:53:08because he doesn't want to throw himself under the bus.
- 1:53:12I'm the one that Jabba leans towards to throw everybody under
- 1:53:15the bus. So I, you see, thumbs up on that
- 1:53:18one. So unfortunately, media likes to
- 1:53:23turn stories into more than what they are.
- 1:53:26And then when it becomes a story, they like to drive it
- 1:53:30where the sun doesn't shine until it becomes such a big
- 1:53:34story where these players or media guys make these stories
- 1:53:40more than it really is. And unfortunately, when
- 1:53:43baseball, baseball right now is the only sport.
- 1:53:46So what are people talking about right now?
- 1:53:48Well, the lead story right now is the New York Yankees, how bad
- 1:53:52they are. Aaron Judge, who is up for an
- 1:53:54MVP and he's going to come back. Is he?
- 1:53:57Is the Yankees making the right decision bringing him back?
- 1:53:59Should he play in the outfield or should he be a designated
- 1:54:02hitter? Or are the Yankees a buyer or
- 1:54:05seller at the trade deadline? What a crock of shit.
- 1:54:08OK, I I'm so tired of hearing it.
- 1:54:10Here's what the Yankees should have done.
- 1:54:12Sell, sell, sell. But the Yankees organization
- 1:54:16never does that. They're not going to.
- 1:54:18They're not. Going to period, you know, what
- 1:54:21accountability does the media have?
- 1:54:23They don't have accountability. They don't.
- 1:54:25They never exactly accountability.
- 1:54:27Yeah, they. And they don't have to, because
- 1:54:29they're just. Trying to sell clicks.
- 1:54:31Now they're not selling papers, they're trying to sell clicks.
- 1:54:34And you take away the power of the pin from them.
- 1:54:36You go and tell them you suck. They can't write.
- 1:54:38They can't. They can't write anything else.
- 1:54:39Exactly. Hey, I sucked.
- 1:54:41I couldn't throw a fastball. For a strike.
- 1:54:42They got on me early. I cost us the game.
- 1:54:45Peace out. See.
- 1:54:46You can't write anything else. Yeah.
- 1:54:48No, no follow up question. To that.
- 1:54:49Sorry, peace. See you.
- 1:54:51It's like it's boring. They they're always.
- 1:54:53Said to be boring and they hate it.
- 1:54:54Yeah, I always. Try to find.
- 1:54:56Where we, when we? When we've seen it in locker
- 1:54:59rooms too, Job, but we've seen it in.
- 1:55:00Locker rooms I've seen between media and the players and just
- 1:55:03losing shit, I'm like own up and move on.
- 1:55:06It sucks. It is what it is.
- 1:55:08Just. Own up and move.
- 1:55:09On I don't know, that's just I don't I don't feel like that's
- 1:55:13happening in sports general, but I know in in baseball, I just
- 1:55:18don't feel like that's happening.
- 1:55:19It's a shame. I I blame team leaders, you
- 1:55:22know, leaders of the team. That's who I listen to, even
- 1:55:25though the manager decisions, yeah, unfortunately we can go.
- 1:55:28Back and forth about what these teams are doing or what these
- 1:55:31teams should do. We're not the GM, we're not the
- 1:55:34owner. And obviously they're in a
- 1:55:36driver's seat. And unfortunately, the New York
- 1:55:39Yankees are run by not one, not 2, but probably 10 executives
- 1:55:45are in a roundtable kissing each other's asses.
- 1:55:48And we're not going to mention any names.
- 1:55:49But you know, Jason, we really appreciate the time.
- 1:55:52You're fantastic. You do such a great job over
- 1:55:55there in Tampa. And when I get out there, I
- 1:55:57definitely want to check out the facility that you're you're
- 1:55:59building up over there. I think you're doing such a
- 1:56:01great job. And, and I know you're a busy
- 1:56:04guy and you're doing some big things out there.
- 1:56:06And we really appreciate the time, buddy.
- 1:56:08Jason, where you at? Where you at in Trampa?
- 1:56:10I'm just north of Steinbrenner. Field like about 10 minutes.
- 1:56:14Oh, OK, here on Dale Mabry. And just.
- 1:56:17North, I got AI, got a couple indoor cages.
- 1:56:20I have an ex major leaguer doing the pitching lessons.
- 1:56:24This guy named Mark Valdez. He played a little bit before us
- 1:56:27and you know, I do the hitting in the footing.
- 1:56:30Mark does the does the pitching. But I do, I work a lot up here
- 1:56:35of the approach, working on the approach.
- 1:56:38It doesn't really, because a lot of my, a lot of my players are
- 1:56:42both hitters and pitchers. I want them to do both,
- 1:56:44especially the young ones. And I would say guys, it's
- 1:56:46there's a lot of similarities between pitching and hitting
- 1:56:50mentally and how you and how you go about how you go about your,
- 1:56:53you're at bat or you're, you know, your.
- 1:56:56Your mound time. Whatever.
- 1:56:58But yeah, so a lot of what I do is up here just dealing with
- 1:57:01confidence issues, how to how to try to deal with failure.
- 1:57:04Every time you step on the field, whether you're a pitcher,
- 1:57:07you're a hitter, there's going to be a negative result that's
- 1:57:10going to happen. And the guys that are on TV.
- 1:57:12Are the. Guys that are able to put those
- 1:57:15away as more than everybody else.
- 1:57:17Well, and not let the Jason, what we what we want, we want
- 1:57:21you to. Do is we need you to work with
- 1:57:22Speedies brain because we've been trying to force Speedy to
- 1:57:26shave those roots. He's he's not done that since
- 1:57:31the day he was, you know, became a man at 13 years old.
- 1:57:35We're trying to push him. I've you know, that Bush needs
- 1:57:39to be some cleaning over there. So we need some trimmers.
- 1:57:42We need maybe you can work with that kids brain so we can kind
- 1:57:46of force feed him to do something over there, man.
- 1:57:49I mean, those bushes look like Wrigley feels his bushes.
- 1:57:52What what do you think, Speedy? I'm not doing it on outside
- 1:57:54influence. Oh man.
- 1:58:00Anyways, Well guys, guys, thank you for having me on I.
- 1:58:04Appreciate it love to be on more so whatever if you guys you guys
- 1:58:09need somebody, let me know. We we would love it.
- 1:58:11We would love it, Jason. Best of luck, Jason.
- 1:58:14Michaels, ladies and gentlemen. Doing great things in Tampa.
- 1:58:17He's watching the Yankees game and watching the Yankees
- 1:58:20absolutely choke, as they always do.
- 1:58:23And as I have come out and said over the last two weeks, the
- 1:58:27Yankees should have been sellers.
- 1:58:29And boy am I going to look right about that anyways.
- 1:58:34And by the way, Keith, where are you?
- 1:58:36Keith wanted to bet me $100 that the Yankees were going to go to
- 1:58:39the ALCS. What drugs are you on?
- 1:58:41The Yankees aren't even going to make the playoffs.
- 1:58:43What a joke. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:58:47we call this Speedy 6 Pack of the Week.
- 1:58:51Let's have a. Hey, who wants to play Drink the
- 1:58:54beer? It's.
- 1:58:55Time for the Speedy 6 pack. Of the way pass liquor.
- 1:59:04Speedy. Are you ready?
- 1:59:06To crack. Open tonight's 6 pack athletes.
- 1:59:11Yeah, we'll be talking about. A bunch of those that.
- 1:59:13Are Jabba lights my stream cocktail?
- 1:59:16All right, here we go. Number. 6 All right, we're going
- 1:59:19to start this trade deadline edition with the one of the more
- 1:59:21aggressive teams of the deadline.
- 1:59:23We're going to start with the Padres who traded for Ryan
- 1:59:26O'hearn, Ramon Lauriano from the Orioles, and then the big
- 1:59:28storyline, giving up the number 3 prospect in baseball in Leo
- 1:59:32Devries for Mason Miller in a very aggressive move.
- 1:59:37Anyone thoughts to the Padres? Horrible.
- 1:59:40Absolutely horrible. I do not know what the Padres
- 1:59:43are doing. I know he's a relief pitcher.
- 1:59:45I was at my barbershop and I was sitting all these guys, the
- 1:59:49barbershop is called home Run. So they they're big baseball
- 1:59:52fans and I'm sitting there, they're all Dominicans and
- 1:59:54they're talking about, well, I mean, a top end relief pitcher
- 1:59:58for a top 3 prospect is worth it depending on the pitcher.
- 2:00:03You don't even know if that guy is going to be there next year.
- 2:00:04The Padres like to trade away pieces and you're trading away.
- 2:00:08You're the third best prospect in all of baseball.
- 2:00:10I made no sense. They gave up.
- 2:00:12If I'm not mistaken, they gave up, I think 7 of their top 12
- 2:00:17prospects of their of their organization, their farm system.
- 2:00:22It made no sense. On the couple of trades that
- 2:00:23they made, it made no sense. A horrible move.
- 2:00:26I'm not saying that he's not a good pitcher.
- 2:00:29I'm not saying that he's a, he's not one of the best closers in
- 2:00:32baseball. It's just I, I just doesn't make
- 2:00:34any sense right now. Are the Padres really a
- 2:00:37contender? Are they really contender?
- 2:00:41I'll tell you how it makes less sense, Jabba.
- 2:00:43You, you trade the number three overall prospect in baseball and
- 2:00:46then you take that guy, you got Mason Miller and put him as the
- 2:00:50setup man. You already have a closer who's
- 2:00:53leading the league in base in baseball at in saves and Robert
- 2:00:56Suarez with 32 saves. Miller, you know, played for the
- 2:01:00A's, didn't get as many save opportunities, throws over 102
- 2:01:04miles an hour, one of the three or four hardest throwing guys in
- 2:01:08baseball. But Jabba, since when do you
- 2:01:11give up? The number three overall.
- 2:01:12Guy and a bunch of other pieces for a set up man it's.
- 2:01:16I mean, I think more so that they looked at him as a high
- 2:01:19leverage guy, but we've seen what AJ Preler's he's notorious
- 2:01:24for this. He'll make any move, do whatever
- 2:01:25he wants. But and we also seen he's made
- 2:01:27crazy moves and have they won? No.
- 2:01:30So it's. I.
- 2:01:32Mean it was he would the rise went from untouchable to smell
- 2:01:35you later for a guy you're not even going to use to close the
- 2:01:38game when you have the best. I wouldn't say he's the best
- 2:01:42closer. He has the best number most
- 2:01:43saves right now. I wouldn't I wouldn't say he's
- 2:01:45the best closer. But also I I can't say that in
- 2:01:49terms of I don't watch a lot of West Coast baseball so I don't
- 2:01:52see him as much I see the the highlights so I don't get to see
- 2:01:55it as much as to to have a very very valued opinion.
- 2:01:59But I can look at the numbers like everybody else and be like,
- 2:02:02well, he's he's doing pretty good on this side.
- 2:02:04But I it's just, it's tough to get a guy out of that caliber.
- 2:02:07And Mason and and it's kind of like, OK, yeah, I'm going to
- 2:02:10pitch in high leverage situations.
- 2:02:11But I'm so used to being the closure guy now.
- 2:02:13It's like, you know, it's kind of a hit to an ego.
- 2:02:16We all have them. So it's it's how he responds and
- 2:02:19and what do they do? I mean, they've they've made
- 2:02:22plenty of moves before and it hasn't really paid off.
- 2:02:24So I guess we'll see what happens.
- 2:02:26Errol, you know, just before we move on.
- 2:02:28Errol. I said AJ Preler.
- 2:02:31What? What is sicko?
- 2:02:32When we get to the trade deadline every year, that guy
- 2:02:34just keeps it interesting. I don't know if there's another
- 2:02:36guy in in baseball that we've seen.
- 2:02:38How does he still have a job? How does he still have a job?
- 2:02:41Because the owners let him do whatever he wants.
- 2:02:43It's pretty wild. It's pretty wild.
- 2:02:46The Mariners GM is he's a close second.
- 2:02:49It's speedy, definitely not a let's go.
- 2:02:53To #5 well, I was going to segue into the National League, but
- 2:02:56now Java. We're going to get to the
- 2:02:57Seattle Mariners, thanks the Java.
- 2:02:59They were one of the more aggressive teams I thought were
- 2:03:00more positive and they get two big bats with a Eugenio Suarez,
- 2:03:04who was probably the big power bat at the deadline and also
- 2:03:06Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks.
- 2:03:08Also in the American League West, the Astros get Carlos
- 2:03:10Carrillo back like Errol mentioned and Jesus Sanchez is a
- 2:03:12good trade for a youngster for the Marlins.
- 2:03:14And then Texas trading for Merrill Kelly, but giving up a
- 2:03:16lot 59 and 13 in their system 3 pitching prospects.
- 2:03:19Thoughts to the AL West deadline moves?
- 2:03:22I I think all three teams are going.
- 2:03:24To be fighting for the two playoff spots because the I
- 2:03:28thought the American League East was just going to pull away.
- 2:03:31The way the Blue Jays are playing over the last couple of
- 2:03:34weeks, even the Red Sox, but the Yankees have taken a tail back,
- 2:03:37a tailspin back. I think the Red Sox, even though
- 2:03:40they made some moves, I don't think they're ready to make a
- 2:03:43run. And the Blue Jays might be the
- 2:03:45only team that's going to sneak into the playoffs because
- 2:03:47they're going to win the division.
- 2:03:49As far as the that division. I, I think that Texas can make
- 2:03:52the playoffs. Seattle can make the playoffs
- 2:03:54and used to can make the players.
- 2:03:55All three teams could make the playoffs.
- 2:03:58Seattle is a question. I, I, I, they always seem to to
- 2:04:03fizzle out. No matter what they make over
- 2:04:05the last couple of years in the second, second-half of the
- 2:04:07season, they fizzle out and they're not the same team they
- 2:04:10were before the before the trade deadline and before the All Star
- 2:04:14parade. I want to see Seattle take off
- 2:04:17in the last 50 games of the season.
- 2:04:18If they do that, Seattle could be very, very dangerous.
- 2:04:21I I already told you, Texas, if they make the playoffs with the
- 2:04:25the three pitchers they have now, they could be as Dom and,
- 2:04:28and we all know what Bruce Bocchi brings to the table.
- 2:04:31So I I think they have the best manager in baseball.
- 2:04:33So quality team as we see what they're doing to the Yankees
- 2:04:37tonight they were down 3 nothing.
- 2:04:38And they come all the way back against Max Freed, the Yankees
- 2:04:41best pitcher. So it makes me sick to my
- 2:04:44stomach. I was kind of happy the Yankees
- 2:04:46didn't go after Suarez. Errol, you said it at the you
- 2:04:49know, he's not a good defensive player.
- 2:04:51That's that's the problem, right?
- 2:04:53And he's got real hot, you know, with the for the power numbers,
- 2:04:56having a career year, power hitting, he's probably going to
- 2:04:59get the 50 home runs this season pretty easily.
- 2:05:02You know, I don't think he's going to get the 60.
- 2:05:04But look, he now get to put him with Cal Raleigh, you got to
- 2:05:08give them credit. They don't have the hugest
- 2:05:10budget. They didn't give up a lot for
- 2:05:11Suarez. I I, I think it's a smart, smart
- 2:05:15moves. I just don't know if it's enough
- 2:05:17with the arms kind of been off and on hurt all year.
- 2:05:20You know, I like what they did and the moves that.
- 2:05:23They made but I I agree fish, I think, you know, Brian moves
- 2:05:26awesome, but it's it's hard with the injuries that they've had,
- 2:05:29like going into it it you know, just to carry what the the team
- 2:05:33on your back. I mean, they have, they have
- 2:05:35some quality arms, don't get me wrong, but I just, I think if
- 2:05:38they they're going to be a little short on that end.
- 2:05:41I mean, it's going to be Gilbert and Kirby, you know?
- 2:05:45Can they stay healthy? Right.
- 2:05:47You know, this is the first year the two of them have gotten
- 2:05:49hurt. They need those guys and they
- 2:05:51they can't do it without them. So it's really that's going to
- 2:05:54be the tail of the tape for them when they get to the playoffs.
- 2:05:56Yeah. And Louise, I mean Luis
- 2:05:58Castilla. Is obviously he's, you know,
- 2:05:59he's pitching two of three not I mean, record's not great, but
- 2:06:02he's keeping them in games and doing that.
- 2:06:04So they've got the ability. I just, I, if they can stay
- 2:06:07healthy long enough, they're going to have, they're going to
- 2:06:09score runs. So it, it's going to be
- 2:06:12interesting. We didn't think the ALS was
- 2:06:14going to be as crazy as it is, but it, this is what makes
- 2:06:17baseball fun. All right, here we go #4.
- 2:06:21Oh, now go to my National League. 1-2 teams that I.
- 2:06:23Wasn't sure if they did enough. The Brewers and the Cubs in the
- 2:06:25NL Central. The Brewers, not a lot of not a
- 2:06:28lot of offense, just really a backup catcher.
- 2:06:29They got a couple relievers and the Cubs, they traded for a few
- 2:06:33pitchers, but I was thinking maybe a bigger swing for one of
- 2:06:35those starting pitchers. Did not happen to you.
- 2:06:37Think these two teams did enough to show themselves compared to
- 2:06:40the Dodgers, the Mets and the Phillies are all Dodgers weren't
- 2:06:42very aggressive with the very talented.
- 2:06:44The Mets and the Phillies were aggressive.
- 2:06:46I think both teams. Are going to make the.
- 2:06:48Playoffs I, I, I don't know what these guys are going to be and
- 2:06:51how they fit with the rosters. Milwaukee right now, they have a
- 2:06:55tremendous pitching staff as they always do, and they're
- 2:06:58getting timely hitting. So Milwaukee and Milwaukee's
- 2:07:01putting up numbers. They're, they're, they're
- 2:07:03hitting for runs, they're hitting for, they're hitting a
- 2:07:06clip, they're hitting for a clip and, and they're pitching.
- 2:07:08And as far as the Cubs are concerned, I'm very, I'm shocked
- 2:07:11the Cubs are as good as they have been this season.
- 2:07:13I thought the Cubs were going to fluctuate and, and not even make
- 2:07:17the playoffs, but it seems like they're they're slowly but
- 2:07:20surely going to be A-Team to be to be reckoned with in the
- 2:07:24playoffs. I think both teams make the
- 2:07:26playoffs and both teams are dangerous, both of them.
- 2:07:28So the. The Cubs don't have a lot of
- 2:07:31pitching. They.
- 2:07:32Lost Justin Steele beginning of the year.
- 2:07:34It's a Tommy John and Minog has been hurt and off and on.
- 2:07:38Tyone's hurt again. They they just don't have the
- 2:07:41staff. They went and got Michael
- 2:07:43Soroka, who is an analytical darling this year.
- 2:07:47He's one of those guys. You see it every year.
- 2:07:49He's got like a 5 ERA, but he should have a 3 1/2, right?
- 2:07:53So he's he's got the biggest discrepancy in baseball.
- 2:07:56He's been the unluckiest pitcher.
- 2:07:58Here's those advanced statsiate Errol.
- 2:07:59But this is where you make money.
- 2:08:01The Cubs saw it. They went and got this guy that
- 2:08:04I expect him to be one, one of the better starting pitcher
- 2:08:07acquisitions of the deadline. But with the Cubs, especially
- 2:08:10Tucker as a rental, a lot of people thought they're going to
- 2:08:12do a lot more. Yeah, I mean in Seroka pitch
- 2:08:14tonight, but. Only pitch 2 inning so you know
- 2:08:17it's I. I just don't.
- 2:08:19I got a really good buddy who's a huge, huge Cubs fan and he's
- 2:08:22like, we didn't do enough, this sucks.
- 2:08:24We need more hitting and pitching and we're not gonna get
- 2:08:26it. So I don't like the Cubs cuz
- 2:08:30everybody's like Cubs homers. When they actually won, they
- 2:08:34could name like 2 people and weren't really fans.
- 2:08:35I really do, so I like them, but in the.
- 2:08:39Midwest, they hadn't won. Anything.
- 2:08:41Then they won and now people were supposedly were Cubs fans.
- 2:08:43And I'm like, shut up. Name me so and so and they have
- 2:08:46a clue. I'm like, get out of here.
- 2:08:48They have the same thing with the Royals.
- 2:08:49They have the high. Entire All Star.
- 2:08:51Infield because they had to. Like stat stuff.
- 2:08:53Addison Russell in the voting. I like the Cubs better than the
- 2:08:56Padres. Right now, if you were to ask me
- 2:08:58right now, who am I going to bet on making the playoffs, the
- 2:09:01Padres or the Cubs? I'm taking the Cubs.
- 2:09:03I I'm going to go with the Cubs. Yeah, They don't.
- 2:09:06I, I agree with Fish. They have injuries that they
- 2:09:08have to contend with, but I think they have obviously a very
- 2:09:11good lineup and, and to me, they have a bone.
- 2:09:14They have a bona fide middle, middle of the lineup that's
- 2:09:17giving them the the power. Kyle Tucker is, is an MVP
- 2:09:20candidate this year. So I think they got a tremendous
- 2:09:23team. I, I still think they're, I
- 2:09:24don't know if they win a World Series, but again, we see teams
- 2:09:27win World Series. The Texas Rangers in Arizona
- 2:09:30were in the World Series a couple of years ago.
- 2:09:32Why can't the Cubs do it? So I again, the Cubs haven't
- 2:09:35been a World Series in a long time and they haven't won a
- 2:09:37World Series since then. So, and they've only won one
- 2:09:41World Series in 100 years. So I mean, let's let's see what
- 2:09:46the Cubs are going to do. I still think the Cubs are team
- 2:09:49to be reckoned with. Remember, they're they're 21
- 2:09:51games over 500. I mean, that's a pretty damn
- 2:09:54good team and I don't know why anybody thinks differently.
- 2:09:57So here we go #3 All right, All American League to finish it
- 2:10:01off, we'll go back to the. American League East, you guys
- 2:10:03talked about the Yankees for a while, so we'll go to the Red
- 2:10:05Sox and the Blue Jays. The Red Sox got Dustin May and
- 2:10:07Mets legend Steven Max at the trade deadline of sure of their
- 2:10:10bullpen. Blue Blue Jays get a couple of
- 2:10:12relievers as well. Sir Anthony Dominguez from the
- 2:10:13Phillies, Louis Varland who is a very underrated pitcher this
- 2:10:16year from the Twins and Shane Beaver from Goodies Guardians.
- 2:10:23I'll tell you this, both the Red Sox and the Blue Jays don't
- 2:10:28scare me. I think the Blue Jays are the
- 2:10:29best team in the American League East.
- 2:10:31I think they win the division. I, even though I don't trust
- 2:10:34them, I don't think anybody, and I know Yankee fans are going to
- 2:10:37hate me on this. I thought the Yankees would have
- 2:10:40going to pull away early into the season, which they were.
- 2:10:44And then they let the Boston Red Sox, the Tampa Bay Rays, and
- 2:10:48then the Blue Jays come back and catch up to them.
- 2:10:51And now the Yankees are playing terrible baseball and the Blue
- 2:10:54Jays have played the best baseball in the last past two
- 2:10:57months. I just think right now the Blue
- 2:11:00Jays for some reason are a different team than they were
- 2:11:03last year. Remember last year with the
- 2:11:06talent that they had and everybody said this is the team,
- 2:11:09but this is the year that the Blue Jays are going to pull away
- 2:11:11and and make it, you know, surprise everybody them in the
- 2:11:13Baltimore Orioles. Well, the Baltimore Orioles dip
- 2:11:16this year because like I said, they had no pitching and the
- 2:11:19Blue Jays, I don't know, it got gained confidence after they
- 2:11:22gave Guerrero that kind of money.
- 2:11:24I just think the Blue Jays are the best team in the American
- 2:11:26League East. The Red Sox, they're young and
- 2:11:29I, I think they're a year away from being maybe a contender in
- 2:11:33that division. I just, I don't know, I don't
- 2:11:36trust the blue. I don't trust the Red Sox.
- 2:11:39I do trust the Blue Jays. I think the Blue Jays are the
- 2:11:41only team that come out of the American League East, I think.
- 2:11:45Bichette having the year he's had.
- 2:11:47Yeah, has been really the thing for the Blue Jays.
- 2:11:50Yeah, he's quietly done it with. Like, you know his hits, too.
- 2:11:53Like, you know he'd struggle a little bit, but like, he's
- 2:11:55quietly leading the league in hits right now.
- 2:11:57Show me the money. Show me the money.
- 2:11:59He's certainly, you know, he's not the defensive player that
- 2:12:03they thought he was going to be. I mean, that knee injury had a
- 2:12:06few years ago. He's never been the same athlete
- 2:12:08since it, but he's got an 800, he's over 800 OPS, He's hitting
- 2:12:12300. He gets on base, he's got a
- 2:12:14little pop again. They're DH ING him some to keep
- 2:12:17him healthy. It's smart.
- 2:12:19And they got this new guy, Addison Barger.
- 2:12:21He's the darling of analytical people around the around
- 2:12:25baseball. He hits the ball harder than
- 2:12:27anybody. You know one of those types of
- 2:12:30guys. But he just lights it all up in
- 2:12:32red on Savant, and he's now hitting behind Vladimir Guerrero
- 2:12:35Junior, giving him some protection.
- 2:12:38They find these guys and Shane Bieber, if you remember, before
- 2:12:42he got hurt, was arguably the best pitcher in baseball.
- 2:12:45It's been a few years. But if they get 80% of that out
- 2:12:48of him, that's a pretty good player.
- 2:12:50So that's a little scary to me. As a Yankee.
- 2:12:53I think you have a better chance of getting more out of Max
- 2:12:55Scherzer than Shane Bieber. I don't know, man.
- 2:12:58Bieber's been like lights out in rehab, you know, 8 strikeouts
- 2:13:03and like 3 and 2/3 as he's coming back.
- 2:13:05That's AAA, buddy. That's not the major.
- 2:13:07You're right, you're right. And I know Louise Hill did the
- 2:13:09same thing and then he got shelled in his first outing,
- 2:13:12right? So.
- 2:13:13But look, if the Yankees are going to play, the crap doesn't
- 2:13:16really matter. Doesn't really matter.
- 2:13:18Speedy #2 All right, so double AL Central, double dosed to
- 2:13:22round. It out, we'll go to the Tigers.
- 2:13:24A lot of people thought they An underwhelming trade deadline
- 2:13:26trade for five pitchers, Charlie Morton and Chris Paddock, 2
- 2:13:29starters and then Kyle Finnegan, a hot reliever, Paul Seawall and
- 2:13:32Raphael Montero and Cody higher. Did they do enough?
- 2:13:35Did they need to do more offense or are they doing enough amidst
- 2:13:39their skid? They're kind of on right now.
- 2:13:40I think Detroit is positioned very.
- 2:13:42Very well. They're running away with their
- 2:13:44division. Cleveland not catching them.
- 2:13:46Kansas City is not. Both teams aren't going to make
- 2:13:48the playoffs. I I think they're you could
- 2:13:51argue they're the best team in the American League.
- 2:13:54Now. Have they played that way since
- 2:13:56the All Star break? Not really.
- 2:13:59They've been up and down, but in the last 10 games they're six
- 2:14:02and four. I think their offense is enough.
- 2:14:04I I think they're pitching squad.
- 2:14:06I mean school ball is, is sensational.
- 2:14:09I I think they have a tremendous and and they added Charlie
- 2:14:11Morton. Charlie Morton is a great
- 2:14:13playoff pitcher. That's my favorite one, like and
- 2:14:16it. Was it was late when they did
- 2:14:18it. And first of all, Charlie, Billy
- 2:14:20Morton is salt of the earth, one of the nicest human beings in
- 2:14:23the planet. He's 42, I think right now.
- 2:14:25And I that for me was. A great pick up.
- 2:14:28Just for like morale and just the type of person he is.
- 2:14:33I love that for the tigers, like the energy that, you know, scuba
- 2:14:37brings. And then you've got Charlie
- 2:14:38Morton, who you can't tell if his dog just died or he punched
- 2:14:41somebody out. Like I, it's awesome.
- 2:14:44I love that dude. And if I, I root for everybody
- 2:14:47to be successful. But when, when he throws, I I
- 2:14:49love rooting for that guy because he's just such a, such a
- 2:14:52great playoff wise, playoff wise.
- 2:14:55I think it's a great move because Charlie Morton, go look
- 2:14:57at his record in the playoffs, he's absolutely lights out and
- 2:15:00now you have to go scuba. If you play in A7 game series,
- 2:15:04you have to. You got to go through school,
- 2:15:06school ball twice, maybe even three times, and then you got to
- 2:15:10go through Charlie Morton twice. Scary.
- 2:15:13And Morton, if you look at his numbers, they're absolutely
- 2:15:15ridiculous in the playoffs. Ridiculous.
- 2:15:17By the way, Charlie. Morton is the.
- 2:15:18Most famous alum of my. High school.
- 2:15:21Oh really? Yeah, really.
- 2:15:22Yep. That's dope.
- 2:15:24Or like covering him when he got drafted.
- 2:15:26By the Braves and. It was like that.
- 2:15:27He covers like this. Great pitcher, good journeyman
- 2:15:29pitcher for a while. Finnegan got the save tonight.
- 2:15:33For the. Tigers, that was probably the to
- 2:15:36me, that's the biggest move of the deadline for them.
- 2:15:39Their pen was not good. No, they were trotting out Tommy
- 2:15:41Kaneley. As.
- 2:15:42Closer sometimes will vest who's probably not a closer.
- 2:15:47They didn't really have. It they addressed it, they got
- 2:15:49three guys to put in the back end of that bullpen.
- 2:15:52I think that was smart. That's where they were weak.
- 2:15:54I think that's part of why you saw them falling apart the back
- 2:15:57end of the rotation, having to use the bullpen.
- 2:15:59You get Morden and you get a more bullpen help.
- 2:16:01They should be right back where they were supposed to be and
- 2:16:04speedy. Last one, number one, we'll talk
- 2:16:07more about this one. And I call it a pen as well.
- 2:16:09But the Minnesota Twins traded 9 total players to the second most
- 2:16:12ever at the trade deadline, only to the Cubs in 2021, who traded
- 2:16:1511. And Joe Ryan was pranked into a
- 2:16:18fake trade, believing he was traded to the Red Sox when he
- 2:16:21really wasn't. Minnesota knows their.
- 2:16:24Season is over, so they're trying to rebuild an
- 2:16:28organization that has at one point they had Paul Molitor as
- 2:16:34their manager and this team was a contender and then all of a
- 2:16:37sudden fall flat on their face. They haven't won a World Series
- 2:16:41since Kirby Buckett. OK.
- 2:16:43I mean, this is just a dumb organization.
- 2:16:45They've made so many mistakes. I I'm surprised they fell off
- 2:16:50the way they did this year as quick as they did.
- 2:16:52And it happened so fast when in the beginning of the season you
- 2:16:56could argue they were going to make the playoffs.
- 2:16:58They might. They were in first place for a
- 2:17:01significant amount of time. I think for three or four weeks
- 2:17:03they were in first place. And then all of a sudden Detroit
- 2:17:06just got hot. And then they completely fell
- 2:17:08flat on their face. I mean, and by the way, they're
- 2:17:10the only team that gave Carlos Correa the money that they gave
- 2:17:13him. So just a stupid organization.
- 2:17:16Dumb, dumb, dumb. Well, and the twins, they gave
- 2:17:19him up and they're. Still paying 30, I think 33
- 2:17:21million of it, Yeah, that's just stupid.
- 2:17:24There's a dumb organization. They're they're one of the worst
- 2:17:26Rd. teams in the league. They're 22 and 36 on the road,
- 2:17:3030 and 24 at home. They don't travel well.
- 2:17:33They're players. I mean, they they're a bunch of
- 2:17:35platoon bats that they try to to shake up and they'll play the
- 2:17:39Yankees and sweep them too. That's what's going to happen.
- 2:17:42Do they play the they play the Twins one more time this year.
- 2:17:45They get a couple of weeks. I I heard they.
- 2:17:47They play really well. Against savage teams, but the
- 2:17:50rest of the teams in the league, not very good.
- 2:17:52I it's a shame they were they started the year hot like they
- 2:17:55were one of the top teams in the central early in the season when
- 2:17:59everyone was kind of lumped together and they fell off in
- 2:18:02the worst way. And it's just it's just pretty
- 2:18:05sad when you give up. You know, as many guys on your
- 2:18:08starting roster as you do in the trade deadline.
- 2:18:10It's like ownership doesn't believe in you at all.
- 2:18:15And that is the six pack. I am.
- 2:18:18I am so tired. I'm so tired of watching this
- 2:18:22Yankee team. It makes me miserable.
- 2:18:24It makes me miserable watching this team.
- 2:18:27I don't know why anybody. And I, I guarantee you Yankee
- 2:18:30fans are oh, we're up five, four.
- 2:18:32Trust me, guys, the Yankees probably are going to lose this
- 2:18:35game one way or another. They'll choke and then you're
- 2:18:37going to hear something. Oh, it's Aaron Boone's fault
- 2:18:40because he brought in the wrong relief pitcher.
- 2:18:43It's just it's so stupid. I I don't get it anymore.
- 2:18:47Just stop Freeze already over 100 pitch.
- 2:18:49I know it's. Fruit is really.
- 2:18:51Struggling with control. He can't.
- 2:18:53He's not. He doesn't look right.
- 2:18:55You know what's? You know what's going to come.
- 2:18:57It's it the topic conversation is going to be the blister
- 2:19:00again. It's absolutely going to be the
- 2:19:02blister. And I will, I will say to his.
- 2:19:05To like, and I've never experienced this, thank
- 2:19:07goodness, but I've seen it and it sucks because sometimes like
- 2:19:11people will get them under their nail.
- 2:19:14And so it's like you got to be cares.
- 2:19:16You can't cut it and you got to like it's it's it's a real
- 2:19:19thing. Like it it people think it's
- 2:19:21like, oh, you're soft, but like it, it sucks.
- 2:19:24Like my fingers would get so callous.
- 2:19:25You know, if like you're trying to type on your phone, you got
- 2:19:28sausage fingers. I don't even know.
- 2:19:29How you hold a baseball, I mean you.
- 2:19:32I threw 100 suck my Dick. That's.
- 2:19:37Exactly how I. Did it flip?
- 2:19:38Flip that, Tommy. But yeah.
- 2:19:42It's just that it that's, I mean, it sucks.
- 2:19:45And if it's under his nail, there's nothing you can do.
- 2:19:48About it either. Like is there anything like you
- 2:19:51can? Pop it with like a like what do
- 2:19:53you even do? Like nothing.
- 2:19:55Literally they. Gino said stick it in somebody'd
- 2:19:58butt hole. That usually fixes that.
- 2:20:00Was one of them old school? Trainer methods though that was.
- 2:20:02One of them old school trainer methods.
- 2:20:05I've never tried it. I don't know I I might have to
- 2:20:08do that with my. That's that's a different kind
- 2:20:11of inside baseball. Yeah, for sure.
- 2:20:13So yeah, just stick. It up there, it'll be good.
- 2:20:15So I I've been, I've been dieting.
- 2:20:17So the only sugars I really, I've been eating is fruit.
- 2:20:20So I go to meat farms to get myself like, you know, a bowl
- 2:20:24of, you know, fruit, the little pineapple, little cantaloupe and
- 2:20:29all that other stuff. So today I went and I got myself
- 2:20:33my fruit ball and I open up, you know, the plastic the way they
- 2:20:37like, like strap it. So I'm pulling it.
- 2:20:38I'm trying to pull it. I RIP the hell out of my finger
- 2:20:41and I start bleeding all over my car and I go inside.
- 2:20:46I go inside, you know, to Northwell and I tell him I got a
- 2:20:49Boo Boo. And they look at her like, oh,
- 2:20:52you got a Boo Boo. You want me to blow on it?
- 2:20:54I'm like, it's bleeding, gushing blood.
- 2:20:56It's like, stop, Errol, you don't need a guys.
- 2:20:58It is. Is this not deep?
- 2:21:00Am I? Am I am I lying about that?
- 2:21:02Isn't that deep? It's almost to the bone.
- 2:21:04And they're like, oh, you got a Boo Boo.
- 2:21:07I have a baseball player. I got a blister.
- 2:21:11Give me a break. I know job.
- 2:21:14I know I never pitched a baseball.
- 2:21:16I'll I'll take I. Didn't say anything.
- 2:21:18All right, all right, listen. I've never thrown a baseball in
- 2:21:23the major leagues. Okay, so I will, I will
- 2:21:26certainly take in that thought. But hey, listen, I'm making $32
- 2:21:33million a year. I'm not crying about it.
- 2:21:35I'm, I'm starting myself out there and throwing the goddamn
- 2:21:37ball. Oh, and he is, yeah, I mean.
- 2:21:40He's not the one saying, yeah, I got you, I got you, yeah.
- 2:21:44And I and I stand for him because.
- 2:21:46I give him some credit because he's going out there and he's
- 2:21:48not, he's not crying about it. And you know he's not going to
- 2:21:50make that excuse, but we've seen a lot of pitchers go out there
- 2:21:53over the years and, well, I got a blister on my pinky and I
- 2:21:57can't grab the ball. See, I give me a break.
- 2:22:00Cry me a river. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:22:02we call this next segment Inside Baseball.
- 2:22:05Now let's go deep, deep. Inside what?
- 2:22:08I am excited. This is inside baseball.
- 2:22:15Here. We go some smaller.
- 2:22:17Stories. Around the.
- 2:22:18League here on Inside Baseball. I love Lisa and music.
- 2:22:23Roland. And.
- 2:22:24Here we. Go to start it off Julio
- 2:22:28Rodriguez, Controversial All Star, right?
- 2:22:31Controversial all. Star didn't have the best start
- 2:22:34to the season, but that doesn't seem to have slowed him down.
- 2:22:37Seattle, we just said added some horses at the deadline.
- 2:22:40He just got his fourth straight 2020 season to start his career.
- 2:22:46First player ever to do that in baseball history.
- 2:22:51Errol, who cares Until they win something, until they go to the
- 2:22:56playoffs and make a run, I could care less what Julio Rodriguez
- 2:22:59is doing. Julio Rodriguez, I remember him
- 2:23:02at the All Star game in the Home Run Derby, which by the way he
- 2:23:04went, failed. When he goes in front of center
- 2:23:10stage on Fox, every time I've watched Julio Rodriguez go and
- 2:23:14play, he completely chokes until he goes into a playoff game and
- 2:23:19he just shows up and actually does what he's supposed to do
- 2:23:22and be a leader for his organization.
- 2:23:24I don't care what he is doing and how many records he breaks,
- 2:23:28just like Alex Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez, all the great
- 2:23:32things that he has done in the past until he won a World Series
- 2:23:35and help the Yankees win a World Series in 2009, no Yankee fan
- 2:23:39gave a crap. So Rodriguez go out there and
- 2:23:44win bowl games and win championships and then we'll
- 2:23:46talk about what you've done when it comes to statistics.
- 2:23:50It's impressive. I think it came on his.
- 2:23:52Hundredth Homer of his career, too.
- 2:23:55Yeah. I mean, it's yeah, you're going
- 2:23:57to be good, as good as you can be.
- 2:23:59But as we said, winning is kind of what separates, you know, the
- 2:24:05the good ones from the great ones.
- 2:24:06And I mean him and Randy Rosarina, the only the seventh
- 2:24:10players in history in the AL to actually have 20 and 20.
- 2:24:13So. But does that translate into
- 2:24:16wins and championships? Time will tell.
- 2:24:18Yeah. They need a line of depth and
- 2:24:19that's why they did the. Deadline moves because
- 2:24:22Rodriguez, the problem with him, I think throughout his career is
- 2:24:24when he slumps, he's really slumping.
- 2:24:26Like it's it's not like it all right.
- 2:24:28It is a small slump type thing. He starts off, especially at the
- 2:24:31beginning of the season, really bad sometimes and like you're
- 2:24:34saying, fish. Sometimes it takes a while to
- 2:24:35catch up and then he eventually gets it going.
- 2:24:37Seattle's pattern, like the last couple years, has been start
- 2:24:39really slow and a lot of it has to do with him.
- 2:24:41And then he has torrid second-half all of a sudden and
- 2:24:44he's an MVP candidate. But it's just not consistent
- 2:24:46enough for a guy making his money.
- 2:24:49Yeah, I mean. You look at a guy.
- 2:24:51Like this, and you always hear the five tool players.
- 2:24:53Well, here's A5 tool player, right?
- 2:24:55He's getting speed, he has power, he has defense.
- 2:24:59He's not hitting 100% for average.
- 2:25:02He was a little bit better than other years.
- 2:25:04So he's almost there. They think that he's one of
- 2:25:07those guys going forwards that's going to be one of the big guys
- 2:25:10in the league. Seattle has a chance to prove
- 2:25:14people right this year about Julio Rodriguez, to get his name
- 2:25:18up there in that echelon. Let's go to the next story here.
- 2:25:21And inside baseball, there was a first of its kind Bristol Motor
- 2:25:28Speedway game this weekend that well, look, big NASCAR people, I
- 2:25:33guess I'm pretty sure it's NASCAR that it's run over there
- 2:25:37would obviously love it. You can have more people there
- 2:25:40than you would have at a baseball game.
- 2:25:42It's I mean. As a NASCAR.
- 2:25:45Fan, you just like normally watch things go around and make
- 2:25:48left turns all day, so this must have been a lot more fun than
- 2:25:52that. Probably drinking the same
- 2:25:54amount. It was great, except there was a
- 2:25:56problem. There was rain.
- 2:25:59And the reports about what happened on Saturday because the
- 2:26:02game was eventually postponed until Sunday are hilarious.
- 2:26:05They were likening it to the Fyre Festival because they ran
- 2:26:09out of beer, they ran out of food.
- 2:26:12They didn't tell anyone to go home.
- 2:26:14Even Kevin Burkhardt on TV didn't know that the game had
- 2:26:18been called and they were still calling, You know, their rain
- 2:26:21delay coverage. It was an absolute disaster.
- 2:26:25Here's it says right here. Lawyer Lester Tate served as
- 2:26:29president of State Bar of Georgia.
- 2:26:31The Bristol game was the MLB version of Firefest.
- 2:26:36Kevin Burkhardt said we're out of food.
- 2:26:38So it's really panic time. Not a great first foray into
- 2:26:44NASCAR stadiums, Errol, I'll tell you, it's an absolute
- 2:26:47debacle and embarrassment and and what did you have?
- 2:26:49You had Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter there.
- 2:26:52Let's applaud them for showing up there and opening their big
- 2:26:55fat mouths about the New York Yankees.
- 2:26:57As we said in the beginning of the show, I I mean, how do you
- 2:27:00run out of food? How do you run out of all this
- 2:27:02stuff? You have all this money.
- 2:27:05I mean, baseball is one of the richest organizations, Speedway
- 2:27:09and NASCAR is one of the richest organizations in the world and
- 2:27:14you don't have enough money to feed all the fans.
- 2:27:17What a joke. That sucks.
- 2:27:20Well, I don't, I don't think it wasn't they obviously.
- 2:27:22They didn't plan on the two rain delays, one at the start and
- 2:27:26then one once they got they got into it.
- 2:27:29I'm assuming they did because they were expecting there was
- 2:27:3185,000 tickets sold or what have you.
- 2:27:34But yeah, once you get all that it is kind of a bad look.
- 2:27:39But you can't expect 2 rain delays.
- 2:27:42Goop Jabba, you got. You're a multi billion dollar
- 2:27:46organization. Stock the F up.
- 2:27:49I mean seriously, what? Oh well, we didn't know it was
- 2:27:52going to be rain delays. Get out of here.
- 2:27:54You're going to tell me Yankee Stadiums going to run out of
- 2:27:56food if there's six or seven rain delays?
- 2:27:59Get out of here. What a joke.
- 2:28:02Multibillion dollar. Organization.
- 2:28:04Two multibillion dollar organizations and they can't
- 2:28:07figure out how to stock up on food.
- 2:28:09Arrow. You know who didn't run out of
- 2:28:11hot dog buns? Unlike the Bristol Speedway game
- 2:28:13of the Bar, the BBQ we were at yesterday, that's true too.
- 2:28:16They didn't run out of hot dog buns.
- 2:28:17They didn't have enough hamburgers.
- 2:28:18That's right. They had hamburger buns and no
- 2:28:20hamburgers. That's right, we got we got our
- 2:28:26man Nick Goody in on on camera once again.
- 2:28:29How we doing Goody? Did you catch any?
- 2:28:32Of the the. Bristol.
- 2:28:33Game and hear about the epic fail that was Saturday and
- 2:28:37everyone getting trapped there without any food and everything
- 2:28:40for hours. I did not.
- 2:28:42I saw. Somebody on Twitter.
- 2:28:43Posted, I can't remember what his name was.
- 2:28:45He's well known but he said this is was a terrible idea.
- 2:28:49Aside from the game. I did it it seemed.
- 2:28:53Like they didn't think that one completely.
- 2:28:55Threw just saw ticket sales. We got a couple of stories to
- 2:28:58go. We're going to get into some
- 2:29:01injuries, injury reports. Start off talking about the
- 2:29:04Brewers. We just mentioned that Jacob
- 2:29:07Mesirowski got it, took a liner off the leg from, say, a Suzuki
- 2:29:11of the Cubs. He's on the aisle with a
- 2:29:14contusion on the tibia. That sounds painful.
- 2:29:17I don't know how much more we're going to see him probably the
- 2:29:20rest of the year. I'm sure we'll get a couple more
- 2:29:22starts, but they were going to limit his innings anyway.
- 2:29:24Jackson Cheerio, probably a bigger injury for them, pulled
- 2:29:27his hamstring, legging out a triple and the third injury,
- 2:29:33speedy, help me out. I forgot the third injury for
- 2:29:36them. But we'll go back to there's the
- 2:29:38Red Sox injuries. The big one was their top one of
- 2:29:42their top prospects, Marcelo Meyer.
- 2:29:45Meyer might be out the rest of the season with a wrist injury.
- 2:29:51The other one were for the Brewers.
- 2:29:52Sal Frelich, Yeah, and Sal Frelich, another one of my.
- 2:29:55Fantasy guys who I traded just in the nick of time.
- 2:29:58Another lower body injury. You don't want speed guys.
- 2:30:01Speed guys who? Have bad legs?
- 2:30:04Second-half of the year, you get rid of those guys, goes straight
- 2:30:06to fantasy. Oh, trust me.
- 2:30:09Always right to fantasy, Tanner. How?
- 2:30:10Tommy John. It's been out for a long time.
- 2:30:13Red Sox. Really.
- 2:30:14Yeah. They just announced it, too.
- 2:30:16Yeah. Tommy John just kind of out of
- 2:30:18nowhere. They announced it.
- 2:30:19So, you know, there's a couple of those teams are really
- 2:30:21dealing with it. They're in the middle of hunts.
- 2:30:24We said that the Brewers didn't really Add all that much of the
- 2:30:27deadline. Red Sox young team is it?
- 2:30:31Do you think that these guys can overcome this type of injury?
- 2:30:34The Red Sox, they're not making the playoffs.
- 2:30:37The Red Sox are ahead of the Yankees right now.
- 2:30:40No duh. I mean, everybody should be
- 2:30:42ahead of the Yankees. The way the Yankees are playing.
- 2:30:44I mean, it's absolute garbage baseball.
- 2:30:46All right, I said it. The Yankees should have been
- 2:30:48sellers. Yankee fans, you're going to
- 2:30:50thank me. All you idiots attacking me on
- 2:30:53social media. You don't know crap.
- 2:30:55By the way, where's Keith when you need them?
- 2:30:58I'll bet you 100 bucks the Yankees are going to the ALCS.
- 2:31:01The Yankees aren't even making the playoffs.
- 2:31:03Throw up on that one. First of all, the Red Sox aren't
- 2:31:06making the playoffs. The fact that their youngster
- 2:31:08gets hurt, it's a shame. Doesn't really matter.
- 2:31:11They're not making the playoffs as far as Milwaukee.
- 2:31:14Milwaukee is going to be fine. I'm not worried about Milwaukee.
- 2:31:17They're a good, they have a good roster, they have a good
- 2:31:19rotation. They'll figure it out.
- 2:31:21They'll put it together and they'll make the playoffs.
- 2:31:24And all they got to do is get in, as everybody says, get into
- 2:31:27the show. And as long as they get healthy
- 2:31:29at the right time, I think this could be Milwaukee's year.
- 2:31:32I think it's the Mets and Milwaukee.
- 2:31:34Watch out for those two teams. I'm not going to be surprised if
- 2:31:37you see those two teams face off in the NLCSI don't think it's
- 2:31:41the Dodgers year. Even if the Dodgers get healthy
- 2:31:43at the right time, I think both teams are dangerous, the Mets
- 2:31:46and the Milwaukee Brewers. I'm not worried about the
- 2:31:50Brewers as much from the pitching standpoint.
- 2:31:51Because they have a great system of pitching too, and in addition
- 2:31:54to Logan Henderson we talked about earlier in the year, they
- 2:31:57got called back up as a result. Quinn Free stars been another
- 2:31:59good youngster for them who they traded for the Red Sox at the
- 2:32:01start of the year. It's more of their offense I
- 2:32:03think is a little more concerning.
- 2:32:04I think they needed a little more lineup depth.
- 2:32:06There's a lot of power and extra base hit stats.
- 2:32:09They're not really on their side.
- 2:32:10They've done well recently, but it's sustainable.
- 2:32:12I don't know the Red Sox, they had a chance with the way the
- 2:32:16Yankees are struggling. I think they do more at the
- 2:32:17deadline. I don't think they did enough
- 2:32:19necessarily either. Dustin Mays good at his peak but
- 2:32:21is injury prone and Steven Matz is up and down throughout his
- 2:32:23career as well. And they need a little more Lamb
- 2:32:25depth to replace the combined production endeavors.
- 2:32:27I don't really love what they did and now they might pay the
- 2:32:29price for these injuries. It's one of those things too,
- 2:32:32and AS. Goody well knows when you get to
- 2:32:34this time of year, especially with Mesiroski.
- 2:32:36I took one off the shin, but this is this is the time of year
- 2:32:39where if you're protecting somebody, you need to do
- 2:32:41something It it's a little thing we like to call in the game, the
- 2:32:43Phantom DL where it's like. It's it's a.
- 2:32:48True thing it's and me personally I think it's it's
- 2:32:52happened a little wise ago right now where you you say what it is
- 2:32:56and you can retroactive back to what it's just to get their mind
- 2:32:59right. Like I said earlier with Jason,
- 2:33:00it's sometimes you just need some time just to get get your
- 2:33:04mind right, get everything back and you can make those decisions
- 2:33:07and, and obviously put them on the DL for a reason.
- 2:33:10But as we well know in the game, it's called the Phantom DL.
- 2:33:13And I think that may be kind of one of those things they're
- 2:33:15doing with Mesirowski as far as, yeah, he got hit.
- 2:33:17So it doesn't look like it's a true Phantom DL to keep his
- 2:33:21innings down because we knew they were going to do that
- 2:33:23anyways. So that's always one of those
- 2:33:25things you see kind of around this time of the year, like
- 2:33:27August and September with younger guys and and or guys
- 2:33:30that are struggling a little bit that you're trying to get back
- 2:33:32on track for for the post season, then the run at the end
- 2:33:35of the season. Breaking news, smell my ass.
- 2:33:38Yeah, the one guy that. No one really has talked about
- 2:33:42in months because he's been hurt and they didn't sound good when
- 2:33:44he went down was Michael King and Michael King, Padres
- 2:33:47pitcher, you know, he. Could be the biggest.
- 2:33:51Addition to anyone's roster at this point in the season, the
- 2:33:55Padres went and got Mason Miller.
- 2:33:58Goody, maybe. Why?
- 2:33:58Don't you take this one? What?
- 2:34:00Does a healthy Michael King do for the Padres hopes with the
- 2:34:04the Dodgers? You know, showing some things in
- 2:34:07the armor with that's called sex.
- 2:34:09Well, just at the trade. Deadline I'm looking through.
- 2:34:11The I'm looking through all the standings now.
- 2:34:13I know that the trade deadline, Milwaukee blew it out.
- 2:34:18Traded off all of. Their top prospects like they're
- 2:34:20actually they're doing it this year and like you talk about
- 2:34:24Michael King being one of the best pitchers or whatever at the
- 2:34:28at the trade deadline that somebody that could help him.
- 2:34:30Of course a healthy Michael King is going to boost any rotation.
- 2:34:33But I was thinking Shane Bieber with Toronto getting traded to
- 2:34:37Toronto is another one that people are sleeping on.
- 2:34:39And I know he's a Cleveland guy. So it sucks.
- 2:34:41But at the same time, like Toronto went out and they're,
- 2:34:44they're getting it too now. They traded one of their top
- 2:34:46pitching prospects as well, but somebody who is maybe a year or
- 2:34:50two away for reigning AL, Cy Young winner and and All Star
- 2:34:55game MVP. But I think those two guys, you
- 2:35:00know, you put them on any staff and they're going to instantly
- 2:35:05boost up your staff. Like you, you're throwing a
- 2:35:08number, you're throwing an ace. Granted, they're both coming
- 2:35:11back from injury, but you're throwing 2 aces in the top of
- 2:35:15your rotation now. And Milwaukee, you know, we
- 2:35:19talked about the injuries. I mean they're 2 1/2 games up
- 2:35:23from not really the. Strongest division?
- 2:35:25I mean, I wanted Cincinnati to pull through, but they're 10
- 2:35:27games back, 4, four games back on the wild card.
- 2:35:30Don't worry. They still haven't gotten swept.
- 2:35:33They still haven't gotten swept yet.
- 2:35:34You're good. Yeah.
- 2:35:38San Diego, though, I like what they.
- 2:35:40Did at the break I. I am.
- 2:35:41I was happy. I was happy with what they did
- 2:35:44at the break and and just like that's what you got to do when
- 2:35:47you're going all in, you sell, you sell your prospects, you get
- 2:35:50the top guys. Like I know their team is a lot
- 2:35:53different now looking than what it did at the beginning of the
- 2:35:55year, but they're going to I think they're in they're in
- 2:35:58prime position to take it. Breaking news I need Brittany.
- 2:36:02The AL East. Yeah, I mean, the Yankees have
- 2:36:07been playing terrible baseball as of late.
- 2:36:09Kind of sucks, but Boston's not too far.
- 2:36:12Out of it, Tanner outgoing. Down are there not announcing
- 2:36:16Tommy John? I mean, I've watched that guy
- 2:36:18pitch for years now and like the way he throws, it's just to me,
- 2:36:21it's conducive of of an arm injury.
- 2:36:24I mean, you you can only throw so many baseballs until you
- 2:36:27blow. But to me, like he has like a
- 2:36:30low three quarter slot and he comes here and he's electric.
- 2:36:32This shit's electric. But at the same time, like I
- 2:36:35don't know how long that will play.
- 2:36:36Same with. Mesorowski like.
- 2:36:37His stuff is so incredible but at the same time like how long
- 2:36:40can you throw 103 before you know true well.
- 2:36:46We got one left. Here and this is a.
- 2:36:48Fun one, Errol. I bring this story up because
- 2:36:53you're not going to try to hit a home run off of Jabba
- 2:36:55Chamberlain. You are going to try at some
- 2:36:58point to. Steal a base.
- 2:36:59But imagine you were in Portland when they asked the fan out of
- 2:37:05the stands to come up to the plate.
- 2:37:08And then this is what this kid does.
- 2:37:10Launches it over the fence in front of everybody into the
- 2:37:16game. One of the.
- 2:37:17Coolest. Moments.
- 2:37:18I've. Ever.
- 2:37:19Seen and at least a semi pro to set to a pro type of a game.
- 2:37:23Obviously Portland Pickles. Not professional, professional,
- 2:37:28but one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.
- 2:37:31Some one of those dreams that you have Speedy as a fan of the
- 2:37:34sport that you can come in there, they call your number and
- 2:37:37there you are. How much?
- 2:37:41What is the Portland? Pickles.
- 2:37:43That's what I'm saying. I think they're they're.
- 2:37:45Just they're just an independent.
- 2:37:46Team. Yeah, like an indie league team.
- 2:37:48So how? Did that go on the stat line?
- 2:37:50Like that boy gets called in and you just give up a nuke.
- 2:37:53Like is it good towards the ERA? I can't believe you gave us a
- 2:37:56kind of I can't believe he gave. Up a home.
- 2:38:00Run. I think he.
- 2:38:00Got 2 that day. What I want to know is.
- 2:38:02Who names their team? Portland Pickles.
- 2:38:05OK. Oh, OK.
- 2:38:06Hold on. It's.
- 2:38:07The IT is a. Collegiate summer baseball
- 2:38:09wooden bat team based in Portland, OR.
- 2:38:14Yeah, I definitely made a graphic with it at.
- 2:38:16Some point and I'm glad I it didn't wasn't a good graphic
- 2:38:19because the Portland Pickles just won a lawsuit against
- 2:38:22Disney for using their graphic illegally so they might have
- 2:38:28some money to not have to get fans to come out of the stands
- 2:38:32to hit going forward a lifetime of Pickles.
- 2:38:34Speedy, you like Pickles. How?
- 2:38:36How big do you like your Pickles?
- 2:38:38Doesn't matter. Hey, I like Pickles too.
- 2:38:40Well. You got to stay away.
- 2:38:42Funny, funny pickle story. You know, we have a friend named
- 2:38:46Danny who has been on this show about a week ago and he told me
- 2:38:50a nice funny story that he used to take dumps and he would go to
- 2:38:54somebody's house and take their pickle jar and put his dump in
- 2:38:57in a pickle jar. So when they go in, that's a
- 2:39:00good. True.
- 2:39:02Story, by the way, true. That's not a lot.
- 2:39:05Educator. He was an educator.
- 2:39:06He was an educator. I don't know if he is still, but
- 2:39:10still is. All right, boys, that has been
- 2:39:15another episode of I tell you, man.
- 2:39:17That guy Danny, you guys got a chance to speak to him.
- 2:39:21That guy is a unique personality and if you get a chance to have
- 2:39:27a longer conversation with him, he tells you some of the crazy
- 2:39:30stories on some of the craziest things he's ever done.
- 2:39:34You'd probably throw up. So he told me that story when he
- 2:39:37took me out to dinner one night. So I almost threw up and my
- 2:39:40pickle was in my dish. I actually like Pickles after
- 2:39:44that. I probably didn't eat a pickle
- 2:39:47for like 6 months. I couldn't even look at a pickle
- 2:39:49after you told me that story. So that's a true story by the
- 2:39:52way. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:39:54we call this segment Tic Tac New Tick, tick.
- 2:39:59Morris right in the butt. We get the.
- 2:40:02Prizes. Cheap because they're.
- 2:40:04Stolen. No.
- 2:40:05No. No, no, no.
- 2:40:08No, no. I like anal.
- 2:40:16I'm sure you're doing Speedy, you like that.
- 2:40:18I'm. Sure, Nathan does like.
- 2:40:19His anal. Duty Dodger My.
- 2:40:23Goodness, you guys are. Sometimes.
- 2:40:28That's my favorite one, by the way.
- 2:40:32Like literally such. We need a ranking system of
- 2:40:35your. Favorite drops Who in the pink
- 2:40:38and one in the? Stink net's on here.
- 2:40:42What's up, Nath? Yeah, Nathan, you can come in.
- 2:40:46And play I got to go back off now there he.
- 2:40:48Is what's up guys. Goody Dabbler scoops.
- 2:40:53Fish arrow. He tasted stuff Speedy.
- 2:41:02You know the deal. What do we got coming up?
- 2:41:06Here. Question.
- 2:41:07Wise since since Goody arrived, we've already.
- 2:41:08Talked about his I. Hope not his National League
- 2:41:11champion. Cincinnati.
- 2:41:12Reds, we will start with them as they are still the only team in
- 2:41:15baseball that has not been swept this season, so in the last 35
- 2:41:18years there has been a team. That has not gotten.
- 2:41:21Swept in a season 3 different times, doing it in 2002, 2004
- 2:41:25and just three years ago in 2022.
- 2:41:28Who is that team? Say that again one more time.
- 2:41:30So the this team has not gotten swept in any series in a season
- 2:41:353 different times. 2002 they did it in 2004 and 2022 just three
- 2:41:40years ago. Who is that team?
- 2:41:43I I know this is wrong. I'm a guess the Astros.
- 2:41:45It is not the Astros. I'll take a guess, what do you
- 2:41:53got St. Louis Cardinals?
- 2:41:55Nope, I want to go Texas Rangers.
- 2:41:57Nope. Red Sox.
- 2:42:00Nope. I'm going to go Milwaukee
- 2:42:05Brewers. Nope.
- 2:42:09Jake and Aaron, you can guess as well.
- 2:42:13It's not going to be anybody obvious.
- 2:42:16Sure as shit ain't the Mets. I'll let you lick my butt.
- 2:42:24I. Guess I'll just take a guess.
- 2:42:28As long as she's using dude wipes and.
- 2:42:29Taking care of my. Two, can you repeat it again for
- 2:42:31me please? No, it was.
- 2:42:32Hot this team three different times. 2000. 22000. 4 and 2022
- 2:42:36went an entire season without getting swept.
- 2:42:39I gave up the booty there. I'm going to go a.
- 2:42:46Lot of hot. Ladies.
- 2:42:48Guardians. Nope.
- 2:42:51All right, Aaron, you're the last guest left.
- 2:42:52I think we're adding time. It is not the Marlins.
- 2:42:55It. Was Java.
- 2:42:56Moreland. It was Java, was your.
- 2:42:58Atlanta. Braves shoot all right.
- 2:43:02Sweetie, where are we going? Into the middle.
- 2:43:04That counts as anyone. Should have went with my gut.
- 2:43:08Mercedes. Benz All right, so Micah Parsons
- 2:43:10has 50. 2 1/2 sacks in 63 games. The Sexton fastest with over 50
- 2:43:16sacks in his first four years in his career.
- 2:43:17So there were two other players that did it.
- 2:43:19One of them was Reggie White and the other one did it in night
- 2:43:22from 1980 to 1984. Name this player Gastonol.
- 2:43:27This is correct. Very good.
- 2:43:29Wow. This.
- 2:43:31Breaking news, I'm putting you on a leash now, his daughter
- 2:43:35was. Hot, wasn't she?
- 2:43:37I think breaking. News.
- 2:43:39Give me that chicken Curry. Chicken Curry.
- 2:43:46That's. Funny chicken Curry.
- 2:43:48We'll go all. Right next.
- 2:43:50Question. All right, so.
- 2:43:52Luka Doncic is one of two. Active players to record a 40
- 2:43:55point triple double. Who is the other Devin Booker
- 2:43:59and Scoops is right. Who, who, Who is that game?
- 2:44:03I remember. What about skid Mark?
- 2:44:07He barely. He barely.
- 2:44:08Got the question. Finished.
- 2:44:10Wait, he got two. He got both members.
- 2:44:11Who's? Coming.
- 2:44:13Let's just go on. Above you fish.
- 2:44:15I wouldn't. Right there, we'll go middle
- 2:44:18right. This dobber in the dirt all.
- 2:44:23Right, so. One of my Hall of Fame.
- 2:44:25Carryovers from last week, So one on CC Sabathia.
- 2:44:28So he was the second youngest pitcher to win an LDS playoff
- 2:44:32game. Who was the youngest doing so?
- 2:44:34He was a National League pitcher in 1981.
- 2:44:36That's called sex. Said 1981.
- 2:44:44Was that Fernando mania? Yes.
- 2:44:46Indeed. Oh.
- 2:44:48Yeah. Man fish is on fire today.
- 2:44:52Oh, I took this one tonight, Boy, Joey.
- 2:44:54Bag of doughnuts over there, Joey.
- 2:44:57Bag of doughnuts. Coming through and there it is.
- 2:45:01It's a lot of hot ladies. Do you want to jerk me off?
- 2:45:07Yum Yum? No, I do not.
- 2:45:11I am a legend. This is a grumpy old man Scoop
- 2:45:15sits on the sitter. I love Lisa Anne.
- 2:45:17All right, when we come back ladies and.
- 2:45:19Gentlemen, we have a call to the pen.
- 2:45:21We got the two boys in the studio, so yes, we'll have Nick
- 2:45:25Goody and the one and only Jabba Chamberlain and then we got Dial
- 2:45:29It Up In. What's that smell?
- 2:45:31But first, our sports minute with the one and only Fish
- 2:45:34himself. This is the Jabba.
- 2:45:38And the. Mouth sportsman at All Right
- 2:45:42guys Aaron. Fishman.
- 2:45:43Here with your sportsman it going to give you a few stories
- 2:45:47before my rear end is burning scores.
- 2:45:50Tonight. All right, first story up after
- 2:45:52what can only be described as a turbulent last couple of weeks
- 2:45:56for the NFL Players Association, new leadership has been named.
- 2:46:01ESPN reports that the NFLPA has elected David White as interim
- 2:46:07director of the NFLPA. The move comes after the
- 2:46:11resignations of Lloyd Howell Junior and JC Treader admits
- 2:46:15scandals related to strip clubs and collusion left the NFLPA
- 2:46:19leaderless during a time when the league is bringing in more
- 2:46:22money than ever before. We have full faith in David to
- 2:46:26take the union forward and operate in the best interests of
- 2:46:28our membership, NFLPA president Jaylen Reeves Mabin said in the
- 2:46:32statement. David has spent much of his
- 2:46:34career fighting for collectively bargain rights in the labor
- 2:46:37movement and is committed to putting players first in all the
- 2:46:41union does. We are confident that he will
- 2:46:44inspire solidarity and provide the necessary stability during
- 2:46:48this period of transition. A thorough search process for a
- 2:46:51permanent executive director will begin soon, Reeves Maven
- 2:46:55said. This process will continue to be
- 2:46:56player LED as the strength of our union has and will always
- 2:47:01lie with our membership. Perhaps this next eventual
- 2:47:05leader of the NFLPA will not think a good use of union funds
- 2:47:09is kegs and legs. After extensive discussions at
- 2:47:13the NCAA over expansion of the March Madness tournaments for
- 2:47:16both the men and women that will not take place in the 20252026
- 2:47:20season, expanding the tournament field is no longer being
- 2:47:23contemplated for 2026 men's and women's basketball
- 2:47:26championships, NCAA Senior Vice President of Basketball Dan
- 2:47:30Gavitt said in a statement. However, the committee's will
- 2:47:32continue conversation on whether to recommend they spend it to 72
- 2:47:36or 76 teams in advance of the 2027 championships.
- 2:47:40As most of us will welcome more basketball come March when they
- 2:47:43eventually add more teams to the tourney.
- 2:47:46We will just happen to get more bang for our buck on the $20 or
- 2:47:50so we all light on fire around the time of the year every year
- 2:47:54in March. And in some lighter news, Mets
- 2:47:57color commentator and legendary first baseman Keith Hernandez
- 2:48:01decided to take some shots at a player who hasn't been on the
- 2:48:03Giants, who the Mets were facing in about a decade.
- 2:48:07Trivia question brought him up. The victim, the Kung Fu Panda,
- 2:48:10Pablo Sandoval himself. Hernandez, almost out of nowhere
- 2:48:14after the trivia question, began fat shaming the former World
- 2:48:17Series MVP. He always had the weight issues.
- 2:48:20He just fell off a Cliff. But he had some big years for
- 2:48:23the Giants. Didn't he go to the Red Sox?
- 2:48:24Just kind of bombed out there. He came back to the Giants and
- 2:48:28didn't do the push ups from the dinner table while many are
- 2:48:33still. Trying to figure out what Keith.
- 2:48:34Meant many in the media piled on posting pictures of a very out
- 2:48:38of shape Panda near the end of his career.
- 2:48:41While the trivia question on SNY was supposed to be fun, many,
- 2:48:44including Keith had their fun in a more mean spirited way.
- 2:48:47For the fans of the Kung Fu Panda and those Championship
- 2:48:50Giants squads Guys, we are streaming live on TikTok,

- 2:49:15Speedy for our next segment on Jabba and the Mouth.
- 2:49:21Any questions? We're back.
- 2:49:24This is the Jabba and the Mouth show Goba.
- 2:49:30Jabba takes it up the ass. Dookie Dodger.
- 2:49:34Is that your cucumber or are you happy to?
- 2:49:36My rear end is burning. I want you for breakfast, lunch
- 2:49:38and dinner. This.
- 2:49:41Makes my pecker hard 631. 6/7. 2:30 One O 8 is the number to
- 2:49:47call. You're listening to the one and
- 2:49:50only Jabba and the mouth. Yes, I'm Errol Marx, my Co host,
- 2:49:55Jabba Chamberlain, the Speedster executive producer, Mr. Aaron
- 2:49:59Fish Fishman. Nick Goody is back, ladies and
- 2:50:02gentlemen from Cleveland during the pregame in the post game
- 2:50:05shows over there with the Guardians.
- 2:50:08And yes, the one and only Nathan was in the post, the backstage
- 2:50:14to the front stage, to the backstage of Speedy's rear end
- 2:50:18as always. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:50:21we call this segment a call to the pen.
- 2:50:24It's done. I think you can throw a strike.
- 2:50:26On this pitch, it's not going to be my John.
- 2:50:28It feels like jello. Right now just get it over the
- 2:50:30plate. I want him to swing last.
- 2:50:32Time I did that, the guy. Hit one that hasn't landed yet.
- 2:50:34For a call to the pen. Glory hole.
- 2:50:39All right, guys. Welcome back to A Call to the
- 2:50:44Pen. I'm calling this episode of A
- 2:50:46Call to the Pen When you know it's not your year, Errol.
- 2:50:51I think we've been talking. About this ad nauseam.
- 2:50:53I got a little read off for you, then I'll let the boys take over
- 2:50:57from here. So here we go.
- 2:50:59Sometimes there are signs that it's not your year for the
- 2:51:02Yankees. Perhaps it's all the mental
- 2:51:04errors or the. Fact.
- 2:51:06That Eric Cole was lost before the season or the fact they went
- 2:51:09into the season without a real third baseman.
- 2:51:10We could go on. Other times it sneaks up on you
- 2:51:13and before you know it, all the meaningful games in the season
- 2:51:16are over as fans many tune out unless they have something
- 2:51:19riding on it. Twins pitcher Joe Ryan, as
- 2:51:21Speedy said earlier tonight, thought he was traded because
- 2:51:24most of his team was being auctioned off like hotcakes at
- 2:51:27the deadline. The Twins who started hot are
- 2:51:30punting. On the year.
- 2:51:31Makes me think about a guy like Ryan and All Star having a
- 2:51:34career year and his team doesn't have it in them.
- 2:51:37What must he be thinking for the rest of the year playing
- 2:51:39meaningless games? Well, to get an inside
- 2:51:41perspective, all we have to do is get the big right-hander on
- 2:51:44the phone and ask him what playing some of those games are
- 2:51:47like and what it's like when you know management is punting on a
- 2:51:51season that you've put all your effort into as we make a call to
- 2:51:56Penn you want. My cream pie.
- 2:51:59Yeah, no, I. Was fortunate.
- 2:52:01Enough that I didn't have that experience a lot and it's tough.
- 2:52:06I've talked to guys that have and it just it stinks because
- 2:52:11talking to those guys and how it comes off is you start ending up
- 2:52:16playing for yourself and that that gets hard sometimes of not
- 2:52:21trying to come off as selfish. But if if, you know, we're out
- 2:52:26of it and we're, it wouldn't and we're punting and we're kind of
- 2:52:28just like, hey, you know what, we're basically not saying we're
- 2:52:32giving up, but we are. And, and we don't have a chance
- 2:52:35and we're trying to rebuild or, or whatever the case may be,
- 2:52:38then it is tough because you obviously don't want to hurt
- 2:52:41yourself because you know, the better you do, no matter if the
- 2:52:44team does well. I mean, it's just like Errol
- 2:52:46says, it's become a business and you don't want to take away from
- 2:52:49that, But it's also hard to to not be a team guy and, and want
- 2:52:53to do that. But at the end of the day, you
- 2:52:55don't want to, you know, cry over spilled milk that you got
- 2:52:58over, you know, everybody was gone and now you, you know,
- 2:53:02bummed, but you got to go out and still do your job, even
- 2:53:06though that your team may have punted and you may not like it,
- 2:53:09but you still got to go do and and perform it and do the best
- 2:53:12you can for yourself and your family and and try to figure
- 2:53:16something out. So I was lucky that I didn't
- 2:53:18really ever have to have that in in my career to be able to plan,
- 2:53:23you know, your vacation as soon as that last game's over, you
- 2:53:26can look at it and you're 20 games out in September and be
- 2:53:29like, boom, OK, you know what? Hey boys, we're going on a boys
- 2:53:32trip October 1st. Let's go, let's get out of here.
- 2:53:35Like you can plan it. So I was lucky that I didn't
- 2:53:37have to do that. So I I know it's tough.
- 2:53:40I know it really is talking to guys where they've had to gone
- 2:53:42through that and like, Hey, it's just finished this strong for
- 2:53:44yourself and put yourself in a good situation going into next
- 2:53:48year. The rah rah shish kumba goody.
- 2:53:50Same question for you man. The trade deadline, my time in
- 2:53:53New York, we were. Always buyers, so it wasn't too
- 2:53:57much shuffling around going on there.
- 2:54:00Then in Cleveland we were in the hunt in 17 and in 18, and then
- 2:54:08in. 19 the same. Same type of way.
- 2:54:10I didn't really start feeling the playing for yourself type of
- 2:54:13thing until 2020 when I was in Texas and that was more so like
- 2:54:20we were 20. Games back or so.
- 2:54:22And you could plan your vacation, like Jabba said.
- 2:54:25I mean, it wasn't anything like it.
- 2:54:27It really was like, you know, you're, you're playing for your
- 2:54:30own next contract is what it was.
- 2:54:32And it sucks because you're not, you're going out there and it's
- 2:54:36it's it doesn't feel like it was a team.
- 2:54:38Felt like, you know, obviously we're A-Team, we're playing for
- 2:54:40each other, da da, da, da. But like, it's a means to an
- 2:54:43end, right? You're not, you're not winning
- 2:54:45the World Series. You're just trying to get
- 2:54:47through the last few games healthy and then you know,
- 2:54:50charge on the next year and and hopefully they're getting
- 2:54:52another contract or get traded in the offseason.
- 2:54:56Pulled it out of my ass. I I kind of.
- 2:54:58Guessed that that was going to be.
- 2:54:59The answer, guys, you know it's Errol.
- 2:55:01You might remember this Kobe quote.
- 2:55:03Kobe. They they, Phil Jackson told.
- 2:55:05Kobe, there was no I in Team Errol.
- 2:55:08What did what did Kobe say to him?
- 2:55:11There's an eye and win. Well, not an eye and win.
- 2:55:14He said there's. An M and an E in that MFR.
- 2:55:16Yeah, well, Kobe. Kobe.
- 2:55:19Was all about winning and those kind of guys that's why he they
- 2:55:22called him the black mamba. He he he ain't like a dual
- 2:55:25personality and it all it all changed everything for the
- 2:55:29Lakers when he decided to do that.
- 2:55:31So I I don't again like they were saying like like goody was
- 2:55:35saying you're playing for a contract you're playing for
- 2:55:37money. These guys are making tons and
- 2:55:39tons of money now and I and now you look at the league and the
- 2:55:42way the league is going, it's going to be different when it
- 2:55:45comes to the end of the season. When you're trying to make that
- 2:55:48that extra buck as we've been talking about, as we all know
- 2:55:51LeBron James is going to be doing at the end of this NBA
- 2:55:54season. He's going to be looking.
- 2:55:56Yeah, you're just trying to be. You're just trying to be.
- 2:55:58All you're trying to do is get to the end of the year healthy.
- 2:56:01I just, I happen to get DFA for the last series, so I didn't
- 2:56:04actually get to get get through the last series there.
- 2:56:07But yeah, I mean trade deadline. Came around.
- 2:56:10Not too, but moving on the Texas Rangers.
- 2:56:14In 20. 20 so it wasn't it was like all right, well we're here.
- 2:56:20Is anybody going to get traded? You know, at that point, I think
- 2:56:23if you're playing on that team as a player, you're like, you
- 2:56:26know, I love my guys here, but at the end of the day, like I
- 2:56:28want to win a World Series so hope I get traded.
- 2:56:32Not really. Many guys got traded and next
- 2:56:35thing you know, come August or September 28th, we're back at
- 2:56:39home watching the postseason or not even watching baseball.
- 2:56:43And in some, you know, tropical island, it is what it is.
- 2:56:46Sounds like the types of things. You guys.
- 2:56:48Would do when you know it's not your year here on a call to the
- 2:56:54pen, just like the Yankees. Like I've been saying.
- 2:56:56Over and over and over again and Yankee fans killing me on social
- 2:56:59media. You don't know what you're
- 2:57:00talking about, Keith Killing me all over my messenger.
- 2:57:05Yes, Keith, if you listen to the show, call the show if you want,
- 2:57:08I would love to hear your take on how this debacle.
- 2:57:12And by the way, it's the 8th inning.
- 2:57:14The Yankees will choke. They'll choke.
- 2:57:16They'll lose this game, I'll put money on it.
- 2:57:18They'll lose the game. This is this is just an absolute
- 2:57:21crock. And any Yankee fan that believes
- 2:57:23that the Yankees have a chance to win a World Series this year,
- 2:57:26guys, I by the way, where are the Bleacher creatures when when
- 2:57:30it comes to when you go, when you're listening to the games
- 2:57:33and they're screaming out players names?
- 2:57:35Why aren't they saying things out in the outfield that I
- 2:57:38haven't heard yet about how terrible this team has been over
- 2:57:42the last couple of weeks? It's just been a joke.
- 2:57:45And by the way, I can't wait until we get some of these big
- 2:57:49Yankee writers on the show. We have one hopefully coming on
- 2:57:52very, very soon. I, I would love to hear what he
- 2:57:54thinks about this team and where this team is heading in the
- 2:57:57trash. Anyways, just call this segment,
- 2:58:02Dial it up. We interrupt this regular
- 2:58:04scheduled hot mix. To bring an important news, we
- 2:58:07got a big broadcast to do here. We're about to dial it up.
- 2:58:11I need a blow pop. All right, guys.
- 2:58:15Welcome to. Dial it up, everyone's favorite
- 2:58:18Lightning round news sports segment.
- 2:58:22We got five stories Errol hasn't seen.
- 2:58:24He's going to have to dial up a response to him.
- 2:58:27The first one, the New York Knicks extend forward McHale
- 2:58:32Bridges. Yes, Mikhail Bridges and Knicks
- 2:58:35agreed to a four year, $150 million contract extension.
- 2:58:39According to Shyam Sharania, the deal includes a player option
- 2:58:43for 20/29/20. Thirty.
- 2:58:45Bridges is now ineligible to be traded for six months.
- 2:58:48This is a $6 million discount that he took, helping the Knicks
- 2:58:52stay under both salary cap aprons, giving them great
- 2:58:55flexibility for the upcoming season.
- 2:58:57Also, if Giannis becomes available at the trade deadline,
- 2:59:00those six months are up and Bridges could be used in a deal
- 2:59:03for the Greek Freak. Bridges may be the biggest
- 2:59:06beneficiary of the coaching change from Tom Thibodeaux, who
- 2:59:09played him huge minutes and didn't incorporate him well into
- 2:59:12the offensive game plan. Mr. Marks, first of all, Mike
- 2:59:19Brown is a perfect fit for the New York Knicks, especially with
- 2:59:22Mikkel Bridges and OG and Anobi. He believes in defense and team
- 2:59:26defense and perimeter defense. OG and obviously Mikkel Bridges
- 2:59:30are the best defenders on this team and on this roster besides,
- 2:59:33you know, Mitchell Robinson. I think this was a great move
- 2:59:36for the New York Knicks. It tells you why Leon Rose has
- 2:59:39been one of the best GM's in all of, well, I guess presidents and
- 2:59:43all of basketball. He's done wonders for this team,
- 2:59:45this organization, A-Team that's thrown money year in, year out.
- 2:59:49Many, many mistakes this team has made when it comes to
- 2:59:52contracts. And they finally over the last
- 2:59:54couple of years, he gave RJ Barrett a good contract, which
- 2:59:57was a big move to bring in OG and Anobi and then give OG and
- 3:00:01Anobi I think extended him a little bit too much.
- 3:00:04But every other contract that he's given, Mitchell Robinson
- 3:00:07$60 million contract, obviously Jalen Brunson getting the
- 3:00:11contract that he just got great contract.
- 3:00:14Now Mikkel Bridges, great contract.
- 3:00:16I I think that this team has. As the opportunity at the trade
- 3:00:20deadline, if they want to make a move for Giannis, they're going
- 3:00:22to have enough money and enough players to pitch to get that
- 3:00:26deal done. Absolute slam dunk.
- 3:00:28Great move for the New York Knicks and Mikkel Bridges is
- 3:00:32happy. He's got his coach and he's got
- 3:00:34this roster set up very, very well moving forward for a new
- 3:00:37season for New York Knick basketball.
- 3:00:39Yeah, absolute bargain. 4 years for 1:50 for a.
- 3:00:41Guy that's a good three and D guy.
- 3:00:43And again, it fits very well with this team culture fits very
- 3:00:46well. Even switching coaches now like
- 3:00:48he's he's a guy that could could be implemented in so many
- 3:00:50different ways. And again, you were brought it
- 3:00:52up a couple weeks ago. It's kind of a random clause
- 3:00:54that the Knicks were trying to figure out, but it seemed like
- 3:00:56that was either something very small or something that the
- 3:00:58Knicks were able to get resolved quickly.
- 3:00:59And Leon Rose does an amazing job with just getting really all
- 3:01:02these bargain contracts. They inherited towns and then,
- 3:01:04like you said, OG Ananobi was the only one.
- 3:01:06They gave a little more than you would think market value wise
- 3:01:08too, but they got bargains everywhere else.
- 3:01:10So why does it matter? They get a bargain for Karl
- 3:01:12Anthony. Towns too.
- 3:01:13I know. What did they give up for Karl
- 3:01:15Anthony Town? Oh no, they fleece.
- 3:01:16They did. But guess what?
- 3:01:18Karl Anthony Towns has to show himself in the playoffs.
- 3:01:21Understood. Until he does that.
- 3:01:22But this? This is a great.
- 3:01:23Move and Leon Rose is an absolute slam dunk as a
- 3:01:27president of this team. Best president the Knicks have
- 3:01:30had in over 45 years. Slam dunk.
- 3:01:34Hard to argue with that. I'm.
- 3:01:35Pretty happy about. It especially if it does lead to
- 3:01:391 Mr. Anteta Kupo coming to new well, if it happened down the
- 3:01:43road, I mean, it does give them the chance to get them though.
- 3:01:46Now you have that contract that is a controllable contract that
- 3:01:49teams would want. All right, here we go.
- 3:01:51Next story. Oh, we got a baseball 1.
- 3:01:54We've had a lot of baseball tonight.
- 3:01:55I saved this one for the end because I can't believe it.
- 3:01:58The Astros accused the Red Sox of stealing sides.
- 3:02:02Yes, the Astros benches cleared at Fenway between on Saturday
- 3:02:07between the Astros and Red Sox after well travelled.
- 3:02:11Astros pitcher Hector Naris and Red Sox third base coach Kyle
- 3:02:14Hudson started the shouting match at the end of the 7th
- 3:02:16inning. Naris apparently was accusing
- 3:02:19Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story of relaying signs to the coach
- 3:02:23at the end of the inning, leading to players and coaches
- 3:02:25taking the field and holding players back.
- 3:02:28Neres intentionally balked Story over to 3rd to prevent him from
- 3:02:33tipping his pitches. The irony of the Astros accusing
- 3:02:38an Alex Cora LED team seems to have no limits.
- 3:02:42As many of us remember, they're very tainted. 2017 World Series
- 3:02:48title. Errol Soil it all.
- 3:02:51What an absolute joke. The Astros complaining about
- 3:02:56team stealing signs, batting up buckets in the back of their
- 3:03:00clubhouse? Give me a break.
- 3:03:03And the Red Sox? We all know Alex Kor is a
- 3:03:05cheater, as we've heard many, many times.
- 3:03:08That's why he got fired, that's why he got fined, that's why he
- 3:03:11got suspended. Alex Kors A cheater, but Carlos
- 3:03:14Beltran's a cheater at that whole organization's a cheater.
- 3:03:17The Red Sox, the Yankees, everybody cheats, but why is the
- 3:03:20Astros coming out and complaining about teams
- 3:03:23cheating? The Yankees got screwed because
- 3:03:25of the Astros for the cheating, that debacle of an ALCS, and
- 3:03:30again, the Astros organization trying to find a way.
- 3:03:33We got Reggie Jackson working for the Astros right now.
- 3:03:37Is he trying to find to find a way to deploy something of
- 3:03:40complaining of an organization? Reggie Jackson, a Yankee working
- 3:03:45for the Astros. What a joke.
- 3:03:47Well yeah, cuz he got kicked out of the front office with.
- 3:03:49The Yankees? That's true, too.
- 3:03:50Yes, that's true too. Yeah, but no, it is, it is very.
- 3:03:55Very interesting how that and it was literally, you know, him
- 3:03:59doing the block and then him chirping at the third base coach
- 3:04:01and he was laughing it off. Like, come on, man.
- 3:04:04Like it is what it is. It's part of the game.
- 3:04:07We saw it. I don't know if you guys have
- 3:04:08been watching the Little League World Series.
- 3:04:10It happened at the end of the game too.
- 3:04:12Like it's part of the game. And, you know, you got guys that
- 3:04:15are talking to you and you got KP who, you know, played in the
- 3:04:18big leagues. You got Berkey.
- 3:04:19You got guys that that's part of the game.
- 3:04:21And it's if you get pissed about it, grow up.
- 3:04:24Like it's Kyle Hudson played in the big leagues too.
- 3:04:27Yeah. They're their first base coach.
- 3:04:30He's actually my one of my. Coaches in Cleveland I I.
- 3:04:34I saw just briefly. A lot of this stuff, I feel like
- 3:04:36this happened over the weekend, right?
- 3:04:38Saturday, yeah. I mean.
- 3:04:40I'm I'm like. I was dying trying to figure out
- 3:04:43what the hell is going on with Cleveland against the Rockies.
- 3:04:45But I mean, I'll do the Java like as he said, like that's
- 3:04:51part of the game we stole. Signs in the Collegiate.
- 3:04:53League you're going to steal signs here.
- 3:04:55I like, I like the fact that it's cliche like that, that.
- 3:05:00The Astros are. Now coming at the Red Sox, you
- 3:05:03know, I think it's kind of funny.
- 3:05:05I always thought, you know, I always thought the Red Sox
- 3:05:08cheated. We knew the Astros cheated, but
- 3:05:09I always thought the Red Sox cheated.
- 3:05:11I thought in 2016, there was little, there was a, a rumor
- 3:05:15going around that the Toronto Blue Jays had buzzers in their
- 3:05:18back pocket or like in the hotel room out there, guys were
- 3:05:23flipping lights to, to tip pitches.
- 3:05:26So like it was the one dude in center field.
- 3:05:29Supposedly at the Rodgers Center.
- 3:05:31Yeah, in, in like behind the black.
- 3:05:33Glass in like center field, Yeah, or there was the one.
- 3:05:36Was it in Houston? Too, where the guy was in the
- 3:05:39bullpen, like waving his arms around like well, remember when
- 3:05:42and then when and. When Philly won, when Philly won
- 3:05:44the World Series, they had walkie talkies.
- 3:05:47Yeah. I mean, it's dude, it's just.
- 3:05:49A. It's a.
- 3:05:51You can't stop it. Like, what are you, MC Hammer?
- 3:05:54You know what? You know what pops into my head
- 3:05:57every single time I I I think of these stories with the Astros?
- 3:06:00That song by Alanis Morissette. Remember that?
- 3:06:03Isn't it ironic? Remember that song that that
- 3:06:06song 10,000 spoons and All You need is a knife.
- 3:06:09That song is like perfect for the Houston Astros.
- 3:06:13Are you kidding me? What a joke.
- 3:06:15Stop bitching and moaning. Alex Korra too, please.
- 3:06:19Could have been absolute ridiculousness stupid.
- 3:06:22Couldn't believe it. Here we go.
- 3:06:25Here's another one that's funny. That's the.
- 3:06:26Shot from the track. I heard about this.
- 3:06:28Oh my goodness. Kenny Bednarek shoves Noah Lyles
- 3:06:31after Lyles taunted him in the 200 meter US final. 2025's top
- 3:06:36runner had been Kenny Bednarek up until the finals US
- 3:06:39Championships on Sunday in Oregon.
- 3:06:42Bednarek has beaten Lyles in our last two meetings in the 200
- 3:06:46lost to Lyles by a point O4. Seconds.
- 3:06:50Looks a lot farther here on the camera because as it was
- 3:06:54happening Lyle's staring back at him mean mugging him on his way
- 3:06:59across the finish line, which led to Ben Merrick then giving
- 3:07:03him a two hand shove and a whole bunch of I'll tell you if you
- 3:07:07got a problem I expect to call hold me back type of stuff on
- 3:07:11the track at the end of the 200 finals.
- 3:07:15If you remember, Lyle's caught COVID and still got a bronze
- 3:07:19medal running the 200. Bednarik got silver in that race
- 3:07:23and Lyles was the gold medalist in the 100 in Paris.
- 3:07:28Errol dial it. You know what's so funny?
- 3:07:31Where is Tyree Kill from? All these stories, I mean,
- 3:07:34seriously, I, I this is perfect for Tyree kill to just just
- 3:07:39reappear while this is going on. It's an absolute funny joke.
- 3:07:44And Noah Lyles is the fastest man in the world.
- 3:07:46He he is, he ran the 50. He won the fastest man.
- 3:07:50He's he's Usain Bolt right now until we see another Olympics.
- 3:07:54But when you hear a story like this in the shoving and the
- 3:07:57pushing, it's great. It's great for the sport.
- 3:08:00You want to see something like this.
- 3:08:01It brings the sport center stage.
- 3:08:04Track and field is is a sport that's really known for the
- 3:08:07Olympics. Nobody cares about at it right
- 3:08:09now. It doesn't matter if it's United
- 3:08:11States championship or the world championship.
- 3:08:13All anybody cares about when it comes to track and field is how
- 3:08:16many gold medals you have in the Olympics.
- 3:08:18And then you see this. This is great for the sport.
- 3:08:21It brings the sport center stage.
- 3:08:23So nobody, Noah Lyles, anyone should be complaining and Tyree
- 3:08:27Kill stop dancing around like a chicken.
- 3:08:31Seriously, I'm watching this guy on YouTube.
- 3:08:35These stupid videos that this guy does in the offseason.
- 3:08:40This guy is a complete jokester. Honestly, my name sheet.
- 3:08:43Miami should just cut this idiot.
- 3:08:45He is a complete idiot. Him and his stupid podcast too.
- 3:08:49Stupid, dumb. Well, I want to mention, I want
- 3:08:51to mention how people. Will say of course, that
- 3:08:53apparently it was all, I don't know how true it is.
- 3:08:55It was all set up the race between him and Noah Lyles.
- 3:08:57But of course Noah Lyles apparently backed out because of
- 3:09:01things like this. He's getting ready for, you
- 3:09:02know, of course, actual Olympic professional races or not
- 3:09:05Olympic races, but professional races that actually pertain to
- 3:09:08his profession, to him actually being a very athletic sprinter,
- 3:09:13not against Tyree Kill. And I know other people might be
- 3:09:15aware of the fact that, come on, you wouldn't want to see Noah
- 3:09:17Lyles against. Tyree 100% I knew it would be so
- 3:09:20fun. People talking about how?
- 3:09:22Noah Lyles is. Supposedly dodging and ducking
- 3:09:25Tyree kill because of him being scared because like I said
- 3:09:28apparently a race was already set up between them but Noah
- 3:09:30apparently backed out. People calling him scared.
- 3:09:33It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if he doesn't
- 3:09:34want to race Tyree kill, he'll instantly instantly does Tyree
- 3:09:38kill. Dude go on YouTube I watch.
- 3:09:41The high school kid Juke tyree kill when he was trying to
- 3:09:46defend him. I I saw him Juke him and this
- 3:09:49guy. Outran.
- 3:09:50Him down the field. He thinks he could beat Noah
- 3:09:52Lyles in a race. What a joke.
- 3:09:55I would. I pay to see it because it'll
- 3:09:58never happen. He would blow him out of the
- 3:10:00war, Noah. Lyles blow him in the. 60, not
- 3:10:02the hundred, he said. The 60.
- 3:10:03Right, I don't care what he wrote Hill.
- 3:10:06Ran the 100. In like 10.1 and change or
- 3:10:10something like that, which is incredible, but it's not like
- 3:10:15Noah Lyle speed. It's not that not going to be at
- 3:10:17the top levels of track or anything like that.
- 3:10:20It's amazing that he could do that.
- 3:10:22But let's face it, he's not. He can't repeat joke.
- 3:10:24There's no way he embarrassed himself on social media posting.
- 3:10:28That was embarrassing. He said.
- 3:10:30You think it's bad him getting duked, remember?
- 3:10:32The. Story we did where he got
- 3:10:34pressed by a a woman of like a mother.
- 3:10:37I was just going to make some like.
- 3:10:38Kid. At his all. * camp and then he.
- 3:10:40Broke her leg trying to like do the next Rep with her.
- 3:10:44Don't you remember this is the same Tyree kill.
- 3:10:47She apparently not the very last.
- 3:10:49Top season she. Apparently not.
- 3:10:50Definitely. Happened.
- 3:10:51Dude, he is a clown. If you watch anything on
- 3:10:54YouTube, what he does, he is a clown.
- 3:10:57I don't know how Miami still has him on the roster.
- 3:10:59They got Jalen Waddle, they don't need him, but he is a
- 3:11:02clown. It's just an absolute speed
- 3:11:04kills though, you know speed kills.
- 3:11:06And if he can still take the top off the defense, he's going to
- 3:11:09play until he can't. Just how it is.
- 3:11:12Let's talk about a guy he was underrated, Errol.
- 3:11:16Underrated defensive lineman on perhaps the best defense in
- 3:11:212025, the Denver Broncos extend All Pro D lineman Zach Allen on
- 3:11:25a four year, $102 million deal, 69.5 million guaranteed.
- 3:11:32He was a third round pick of the Cardinals.
- 3:11:34I know you're excited, Goody. Don't get too excited.
- 3:11:36There's more to read here. Third round pick of the
- 3:11:38Cardinals. They let him go after solid but
- 3:11:41unspectacular years, and he's just been unstoppable since he's
- 3:11:45been on the Broncos. They move him around the D line.
- 3:11:48He had 8 1/2 sacks, a career high 61 tackles from playing
- 3:11:51inside and a whopping 40 quarterback hits.
- 3:11:55The Broncos return an already elite defense with reigning
- 3:11:58Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Sertin Junior.
- 3:12:01They added Dre Greenlaw to LA, Noah Hufonga and first round
- 3:12:06corner Jade Baron to the squad this season.
- 3:12:09Errol dial it. First of all, he.
- 3:12:12Reminds me of a young. Jared Allen, who just was just
- 3:12:15inducted into a Hall of Fame. He's special.
- 3:12:18The fact that it's, it's very typical that the Cardinals gave
- 3:12:22up on a player. He goes to another organization
- 3:12:24and this guy becomes a superstar.
- 3:12:26Very typical for the Arizona Cardinals, but it's a great
- 3:12:29story. And, and he they actually got
- 3:12:31him on the cheap, $102 million for four years.
- 3:12:35That's a great deal for one of the better defensive ends at all
- 3:12:38of football. He's special and and again, Sean
- 3:12:41Payne's not a defensive mighty coach and how he's transitioned
- 3:12:44this team in the last 2 1/2 years is, is really incredible.
- 3:12:48He's got Bo Nicks. I think Bo Nicks is only going
- 3:12:50to elevate and become even better of a quarterback.
- 3:12:53Don't be surprised if you hear that Bo Nicks is a top five, top
- 3:12:56six quarterback in the league this year.
- 3:12:58I seen a lot of great things of what the the Broncos are doing
- 3:13:01this offseason. I love this defense.
- 3:13:04This is going to be a top three defense this year.
- 3:13:07They added some nice pieces in the offseason.
- 3:13:10I, I wouldn't be surprised if they win the division.
- 3:13:13Take that. I think they can win the
- 3:13:15division as good as this team. And, and by the way, I I love
- 3:13:19what they did with the the wide receiver, what they did with
- 3:13:23Courtland, Courtland Sutton, it was a great deal that he got in
- 3:13:27the offseason. I I love everything about the
- 3:13:29Broncos. I think they could be a surprise
- 3:13:31team in the AFC. Yeah, this is one of the most
- 3:13:33well-rounded overall. Defensive lineman in the league
- 3:13:36with the Cardinals, he was kind of a bigger edge and then they
- 3:13:38used him as that and kind of emerged quickly as rookie year.
- 3:13:40He was a third round pick, but probably a lot of people thought
- 3:13:42a late first round, early second round prospect.
- 3:13:44Like you're saying, Errol Arizona drafts well and doesn't
- 3:13:46know how to develop players properly and especially on
- 3:13:49defense. I got like to go for a lot of
- 3:13:50these hybrids, but he emerged quickly, nicely.
- 3:13:52They should have never let him go.
- 3:13:53And this was on a team that had like purged everything after
- 3:13:56they were allegedly tanking and they had the number one pick
- 3:13:58when they drafted Kyler Murray and they lost everything.
- 3:14:00And the Broncos have emerged into another level where he's
- 3:14:02been one of the most underrated, like all pro defensive tackles
- 3:14:06for a while in a 3-4 defense mind a lot of the time.
- 3:14:08Just think the Broncos. Sean Payne goes to the team.
- 3:14:11Russell Wilson got that extension, that big contract.
- 3:14:15Sean Payne gets rid of Russell Wilson and in like 2 years
- 3:14:18changed that organization right around.
- 3:14:21That's why Sean Payton was traded for first round pick.
- 3:14:26So I I know a lot of people didn't like the move and
- 3:14:29question the Broncos for doing it.
- 3:14:31Now you see why Sean Payton's one of the best managers, not
- 3:14:34best coaches in all of football and Slim thought, and this was a
- 3:14:37defense too. Remember that it.
- 3:14:38Changed defensive coordinators after after their first year EO
- 3:14:41Rivero goes from the Broncos against that big contract with
- 3:14:44the Panthers when I think Matt Rule was still there or I think
- 3:14:47it was Matt Ruler was still there and then they switched.
- 3:14:49Nebraska, baby. Yeah.
- 3:14:50Yes, Nebraska. Now and.
- 3:14:52They've had three different coordinators the last three
- 3:14:54years and Allen has put up great production pressure numbers, run
- 3:14:57defense numbers pretty much every year so far.
- 3:14:59Very well deserved. I think this is absolutely.
- 3:15:01And for all you Jet fans who? Did The Jets hire as their GM
- 3:15:06Dara Moogie? That's right.
- 3:15:07And where does he come? From.
- 3:15:09The Broncos Nuff said slam dog. You know as as a scheme guy you
- 3:15:14look at Allen and you could play him as a defensive end.
- 3:15:18You could play him as a three tech defensive tackle.
- 3:15:20You can have him two gap in the 34 scheme, which means that you
- 3:15:23can have linebackers fly around and they have an all pro
- 3:15:27linebacker and Nick Benito as well that they can move around
- 3:15:30the line. They can bitch from different as
- 3:15:32a jet fag, but that's crazy. And then you have certain Jade
- 3:15:38Baron from Texas who's kind of like going to be able to play
- 3:15:41inside and out as well. That is a scary defense and in
- 3:15:45my opinion, might be the top fantasy defense this year and no
- 3:15:49one's going to rank them that high.
- 3:15:51So I I'm going to be on that one myself.
- 3:15:53I think got one story left. I think there are three teams to
- 3:15:55watch this year. I I, I'm not saying this because
- 3:15:57I'm a jet fan. You watch The Jets because I
- 3:15:59like what The Jets have together, the Broncos and the
- 3:16:03Eagles. Those are the three teams to
- 3:16:04watch this year. All three teams are going to be
- 3:16:07absolutely beasts. I'm just saying I will.
- 3:16:09I will say before we go on. Fish you mentioned.
- 3:16:11Jared Allen, if you guys haven't listened to his Hall of Fame
- 3:16:14speech, fantastic, fantastic, unbelievable.
- 3:16:17He's fantastic. We.
- 3:16:19I would. Love to get Jared Allen on the
- 3:16:20show. What a player he was.
- 3:16:22That's fisherman Jared Allen, according.
- 3:16:24To our friend Pete Burstick, that's true.
- 3:16:26He did. He says he's.
- 3:16:27A big fisherman. Big time fisherman I I don't
- 3:16:30think the fish stand a chance. Against.
- 3:16:32Him. Well, there's two more guys that
- 3:16:34wouldn't stand his chance against yes that's John Cena and
- 3:16:38the once again champion of the WWE, Cody Rhodes, who defeats
- 3:16:44him to win the title at SummerSlam.
- 3:16:47Cody Rhodes avenges his WrestleMania defeat to John Cena
- 3:16:51Sunday night. On night 2 of SummerSlam at
- 3:16:54MetLife Stadium, Rhodes defeated Cena clean in the middle of the
- 3:16:58ring. Cena.
- 3:16:59Who turned he? Deal that means being a bad guy
- 3:17:02before winning his record 17th title at WrestleMania, mostly
- 3:17:06turned back by the the backs of being a good guy by the end of
- 3:17:10the night as he honorably passed the torch to Cody.
- 3:17:13Then Brock Lesnar's music hit and the thought to be Banished
- 3:17:19Superstar came down and F5 John Cena setting up one last duel
- 3:17:25between the GOAT and the Beast Incarnate before Cena calls it a
- 3:17:31career. Errol, you said that you could
- 3:17:34be a great and I agree with you. Great bad guy heel wrestling
- 3:17:40manager. I want to hear this promo when
- 3:17:43you dial it up. Well, if I was.
- 3:17:46John Cena and I was his. Manager in a corner, I'd say.
- 3:17:50What a pee you. I'm not going to say it all
- 3:17:54right, I'll say it pussy. All right, that's all I'm going
- 3:17:57to say with that as far as I'm concerned with the wrestling go
- 3:18:00check on real on net Netflix. If you really want to go and
- 3:18:05check out some garbage, go watch that.
- 3:18:08That is absolute garbage now as far as Cody Cody Rhodes, what a
- 3:18:14joke one of the most overrated champions the WWE has ever had.
- 3:18:19I was about to say F because that's what they they were
- 3:18:22before they they got sued. Vince McMahon gone the WWE joke.
- 3:18:27I will say the storylines are a little bit better with Triple H
- 3:18:31running the organization. I'm not going to lie about that.
- 3:18:33I think Triple H has done a fantastic job bringing in money
- 3:18:36and and kind of transitioning it from a from the McMahon family.
- 3:18:40But I, I mean Brock Lesnar. I don't want to see fat Brock
- 3:18:44Lesnar trouncing and pouncing outside and coming back to
- 3:18:47wrestling. That idiot should not be.
- 3:18:50He should never even step foot in AWWE ring again after all the
- 3:18:54back the backlash she's gotten off and outside of the ring.
- 3:18:58There were a lot of things that Brock Lesnar stands for and
- 3:19:02being professional is not one of them.
- 3:19:04The only thing I I think I could really picture and point out
- 3:19:07what he's doing right now is banging Sable.
- 3:19:10That's about it. Well, I think the.
- 3:19:13Reason why we. Haven't seen Brock Lesnar is
- 3:19:15because he was banging other people and that's why that's
- 3:19:18true. Too allowed to.
- 3:19:20By the way, have you ever seen his daughter?
- 3:19:21Since McMahon may have arranged, his daughter is Lesnar, which is
- 3:19:26why Vince McMahon's not around. Either.
- 3:19:28They're all related to each other and it's really surprising
- 3:19:30who's bending who over now. And well, here's the thing
- 3:19:34though, they. Always have these like.
- 3:19:35Press conferences afterwards, they did not have one after
- 3:19:38Brock Lesnar, I'm sure, and they clearly didn't want to do it.
- 3:19:42And then Triple H, when they asked him about us, that John
- 3:19:45Cena had a list of guys that he wanted.
- 3:19:46Put it all on John Cena. It's not my fault we wanted
- 3:19:49Brock. I don't want to take any part of
- 3:19:51it, but we're going to make the money off whose thumbs going up
- 3:19:53whose ass. That's what I want to know.
- 3:19:55That's that's amateur wrestling, not professional wrestling.
- 3:19:58That's what they do, dude. Amateur.
- 3:19:59Brock Lesnar looks like a. Fat.
- 3:20:02Pig, you're out of your mind saying call.
- 3:20:04First off, calling Brock Lesnar fat is is would make me like
- 3:20:08shake a little bit because I would be petrified.
- 3:20:11That's the biggest, scariest, dude.
- 3:20:13The biggest? The scariest?
- 3:20:15Dude. Lay on he makes John Cena look
- 3:20:17like a Midget that one any anybody.
- 3:20:19First of all, John Cena is not as big as you think he is.
- 3:20:23I mean, I've seen him in person. He's not his big foot.
- 3:20:25Yeah, I know, but he's he's he's not really that big when you
- 3:20:28look at the Rock in person, that mother you know what is big
- 3:20:32think Cena's Cena might be able functionally, you know, so some
- 3:20:37guys you see in the gym and you're like, how is that guy
- 3:20:39able to lift as much weight as he does?
- 3:20:41Cena's that guy, David. They've said he's the strongest
- 3:20:44guy. That they've worked with.
- 3:20:45Like even Paul said that big shows, like he's basically like
- 3:20:49he picked him up and he goes. I felt comfortable like he goes.
- 3:20:52It was like I was taking a nap. Like he said he was the most
- 3:20:55comfortable when he lifted him up.
- 3:20:56Mind you, Jabba, that's someone who's wrestled someone.
- 3:20:58Like Mark Henry at one point, the world's strongest man.
- 3:21:01Yeah, the world's strong at ass. That's about.
- 3:21:03It Let's move on. Well, actually saw Mark Henry
- 3:21:06one time at a. Hotel in Rochester, Yeah.
- 3:21:09Who was sucking? Who's a massive he is.
- 3:21:10Massive. That he has another.
- 3:21:14There's a lot of. There's a there's dark
- 3:21:16chocolate, right? Yeah.
- 3:21:17Big, sexy, sexual. Chocolate.
- 3:21:19There's a lot of sexy. Background.
- 3:21:21About that man too. So I think wrestling, there's a
- 3:21:24lot of storylines behind the scenes of what's going on, you
- 3:21:28know with Vince McMahon in that unreal by the way, is great.
- 3:21:32I don't know what you're talking about.
- 3:21:33I thought was all that you know it's great.
- 3:21:35You know what, I'm watching and I think you guys will probably
- 3:21:37think I'm a little weird. I'm I'm, I'm watching build a
- 3:21:41band, building a band. That's what I've been.
- 3:21:44What? Isn't that the Diddy show?
- 3:21:46No, no, no, no. There's, there's it's building
- 3:21:50the band. It's like.
- 3:21:51They're building like building the band too.
- 3:21:53No Diddy. No, there's no, no, no, no, no.
- 3:21:56You got no backstreet. Boys.
- 3:21:58And stuff like that. It's, it's actually interesting.
- 3:22:00I mean, I like good voices. I watch the voice in American
- 3:22:03Idol. I'm, I'm in, I'm into it.
- 3:22:05I'm into it. What everything?
- 3:22:07Is rigged. Everything is rigged.
- 3:22:10You know what I've been watching and check out the train wreck.
- 3:22:14I've been watching a lot of the, there's like a there's all
- 3:22:17different episodes. I've been watching all the
- 3:22:19different good ones there. Yeah.
- 3:22:20I, I've been watching it. The Woodstock 99 one was yeah,
- 3:22:23that was good. The train wreck that was, that
- 3:22:26was the balloon boy. Remember that one?
- 3:22:27I checked that one. Bubble boy, bubble boy, bubble
- 3:22:29boy. That's that's what it was.
- 3:22:31Yeah. Was that the balloon boy, you
- 3:22:32mean? Yeah.
- 3:22:33No, I'm sorry. Yeah, the balloon boy.
- 3:22:34Balloon boy? You let.
- 3:22:35Yeah. That's right.
- 3:22:36Do you think Bristol Speedway will be 1?
- 3:22:39It should be, well, five. They've got like 7.
- 3:22:41Documentaries on the fire festival, you know.
- 3:22:44Oh, by the way, I was at that Woodstock.
- 3:22:46By the way, 99, I was at that Woodstock.
- 3:22:49Yes, I watched it on pay-per-view.
- 3:22:50I was at that Woodstock and I was the things that I saw at
- 3:22:55that Woodstock. That's why Woodstock really
- 3:22:57never 1516. I was about 16.
- 3:23:00Yeah. So and I, I got a chance to
- 3:23:04experience it. It was fun.
- 3:23:06I can tell you that. I was actually 17 actually.
- 3:23:10Hey, Errol, what did, what did it smell like over there?
- 3:23:13Dude, it smelled like armpits smell everywhere you go and the
- 3:23:18way these people were like sleeping in the mud when the
- 3:23:22rain was coming. Dude, DMX was the best.
- 3:23:25By the way, DMX had the crowd going crazy and he was like,
- 3:23:30where am I? I was just screaming it and
- 3:23:33stuff like that. People were going crazy when DMX
- 3:23:36came out. I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers
- 3:23:38at the end, like the last part of the concert when everything
- 3:23:41started to break out. Dude, the stuff that was going
- 3:23:44on, outset of all the different stages where people were not
- 3:23:48seeing, and you'll probably never know, absolute
- 3:23:51ridiculousness. Not enough security guards, not
- 3:23:54enough cops. It was dangerous.
- 3:23:56There were things that I was seeing, well, they were lighting
- 3:23:59everything on fire by the last day, right?
- 3:24:01Girls, the girls were not in a good position.
- 3:24:04There was a lot of it wasn't safe at all for the women that
- 3:24:08were there. It was, it was scary.
- 3:24:10If I was a dad and I had and I had a daughter, I would, I
- 3:24:14definitely, I definitely wouldn't want my kids to go to
- 3:24:17anything like that. It was horrible what I saw.
- 3:24:20Not not something that Woodstock or anybody would post up and
- 3:24:24show what was going on behind the scenes, just so you know.
- 3:24:28Anyways, All right, ladies and gentlemen, final segment of the
- 3:24:31night. What's that smell?
- 3:24:33Hold up, What is that? Smell.
- 3:24:35What's that? Smell.
- 3:24:42Wow, you don't see that every. Day job.
- 3:24:44I just read that it just. Popped right off.
- 3:24:46I didn't even see it until you popped it right off.
- 3:24:49It was like popping a bubble, A bubble, a blue bubble, whatever
- 3:24:52the hell it is anyways, we might as well get it done.
- 3:24:55I, I want to say something. I am very, very tired.
- 3:24:58I'm a little washed up with everything that's gone on over
- 3:25:02the last couple of days, especially over the weekend.
- 3:25:04So I, I definitely want to do this because I got a story to
- 3:25:07tell you guys. But if you guys don't know this,
- 3:25:10we're going to go around in a circle and we're going to tell a
- 3:25:13story and we're going to tell you what it smells like.
- 3:25:16It could smell like daisies or it could smell like Speedy's
- 3:25:19ass. Whatever it smells like, make
- 3:25:21sure it is a little bit unique like Speedy's takes, that's for
- 3:25:25sure. So we'll go fish first, scoop
- 3:25:29second, Goody third, Speedy 4th, Jabba 5th, me 6th.
- 3:25:37Are you guys ready? Do it.
- 3:25:38Let's go. All right, Get the music going.
- 3:25:42My pinky is bigger than yours. For you police.
- 3:25:47In College Park, GA tell ESPN they've arrested Delbert Carver
- 3:25:54on Saturday after he threw a bright green light Saber shaped
- 3:26:01sex toy on to the court at a WNBA game between the Golden
- 3:26:07State Valkyries in the Atlanta Dream at the Gateway Center
- 3:26:10Arena. He faces counts of disorderly
- 3:26:13conduct, public indecency, indecent exposure and criminal
- 3:26:18trespass. He was booked and released late
- 3:26:21on Sunday on an undisclosed bond.
- 3:26:24The WNBA said that their arrest was made in the case.
- 3:26:26The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top
- 3:26:29priority for the league. Objects of any kind thrown onto
- 3:26:34the court or in the seating. Area.
- 3:26:35Can pose a safety risk for players, game officials and
- 3:26:39fans. Well, I don't know about.
- 3:26:42The safety risk, but. It was certainly really, really
- 3:26:46embarrassing and I can't believe that we're still talking about
- 3:26:49it, which makes it even funnier. What does it smell like?
- 3:26:52It smells like the the cheese under Ron.
- 3:26:56Jeremy's. Old set.
- 3:26:59Beautiful. Didn't he just pass away?
- 3:27:04Oh, that would make it smell even worse than, wouldn't it?
- 3:27:06That wouldn't so. Going over back actually to the
- 3:27:10fish's last topic on Dial It Up, I'm actually going to be talking
- 3:27:13about some Summer Slam because as we know that the two night
- 3:27:16event over at Summer Slam over at MetLife Stadium wrapped up
- 3:27:20with over 113,000 in attendance. You know, I have to say this
- 3:27:25past this past year, Summer Slam fish of course mentioned the
- 3:27:28Brock Lesnar return, of course the the John Cena and Cody
- 3:27:31Rhodes match, all everything from top to finish was just way
- 3:27:34better than of course, the WrestleMania that we had this
- 3:27:37past year over an allegiance stadium over in Vegas,
- 3:27:40WrestleMania 41, it shot the bed and that's that's all I could
- 3:27:43say really. It shot the bed and SummerSlam
- 3:27:45really picked it up. It really delivered on a lot
- 3:27:47more of a matches. Some of the matches weren't as
- 3:27:49entertaining, unlike all of the all of the matches that were on
- 3:27:53WrestleMania 41. Of course, you had Seth Rollins
- 3:27:57passion on one of his arch rivals right now, CM Punk to win
- 3:28:00the world title. Very, very nice, nice defining
- 3:28:03moment to finish off night one. Of course, night 2, like I
- 3:28:06mentioned with fish, bring him back Cowboy Brock Lesnar as they
- 3:28:10like to call him nowadays with his old cowboy hat and his whole
- 3:28:13cowboy get up. I got to say, like I said it it,
- 3:28:15it was that miles and miles way better than this past
- 3:28:19WrestleMania, which is pretty, pretty disappointing.
- 3:28:21The fact that they build this path, they build the
- 3:28:24WrestleMania as the Super Bowl of WWE.
- 3:28:27So what does it smell like? What smells like the worms that
- 3:28:32if anybody remembers the Boogeyman, a very childhood,
- 3:28:35very great wrestler that I used to love watching.
- 3:28:37I don't know about great wrestling, but smells like the
- 3:28:39the crap that he takes after eating a handful of his worms.
- 3:28:43So there we go. Rikishi stink face.
- 3:28:48And mixed with rikishi Stink face maybe?
- 3:28:50Who who knows, maybe he was eating some of that.
- 3:28:51There we go. Another.
- 3:28:55Rock relative you. Another one of the.
- 3:28:57Yeah. You are not shooting.
- 3:29:00I just scoured. Twitter and I found my.
- 3:29:02My, what's that smell? As you know, I've been super
- 3:29:04busy as of late, but this one, this one's near and dear to my
- 3:29:08heart. The King is officially out of
- 3:29:14retirement. Stream the all.
- 3:29:17New seasons of King of. The Hill now on Hulu and with
- 3:29:20Hulu on Disney Plus. Ping of the Hill is back.
- 3:29:24Baby. Bobby, you know what?
- 3:29:27This smells like. It smells like we are finally
- 3:29:30coming. We are finally back as a nation
- 3:29:33when we can turn on the TV and we can watch King of the Hill, a
- 3:29:37true American comedy cartoon. We've come full circle.
- 3:29:44This smells like roses. This smells like freedom.
- 3:29:48It smells like King of the Hill. That TV show on July 4th and a
- 3:29:54warm sunny day. 100°. Walking the game.
- 3:29:59It smells. Amazing spin off of.
- 3:30:02Beavis and butt head people forget.
- 3:30:04It was originally Beavis and butt head characters does not
- 3:30:07smell like Beavis and butt we're.
- 3:30:09Black good, good. That was as.
- 3:30:12Spectacular as your. Last King of the.
- 3:30:13Hill Performance bring this bring up all the great ChatGPT.
- 3:30:17Running backs Robin this. Episode is so dumb.
- 3:30:20Yeah. Dang Beavis, did you see it cut
- 3:30:24his head off? Yeah, for my.
- 3:30:32Looks like you have a. Bunch of sound bites so you deal
- 3:30:34with. With that one, that guy actually
- 3:30:36who did his voice both. Their voices died recently too,
- 3:30:39so no more Beavers important. Yeah.
- 3:30:44That's all right. So it's funny you brought up.
- 3:30:46Tyree Kill because my what's that fell has to do with
- 3:30:48something he said this time. So Tyree Kill decides to take a
- 3:30:50shot at Devon HN, their star young running back for the Miami
- 3:30:54Dolphins, saying that he should be taken out of the game on 3rd
- 3:30:58downs because he struggles as a power running back.
- 3:31:02He is not a power running back. Meanwhile, for his size, he
- 3:31:05actually is. He is pretty powerful for a guy
- 3:31:07that was drafted as an undersized running back.
- 3:31:09Let's keep it in mind. Let's see what also you need
- 3:31:12third, you sometimes need to pass on 3rd down as well.
- 3:31:14Shen LED all running backs with 34 catches out of the slot,
- 3:31:17which is double the amount of the next guy.
- 3:31:19He was the third most efficient running back per game in 2023 in
- 3:31:23his rookie year, was 7th last year and was one of the most was
- 3:31:29fourth ever since his injury at the beginning of the year in
- 3:31:32terms of overall EPA for running backs.
- 3:31:34So that's the guy you want to take out of the game.
- 3:31:35Tyree Kill, a guy that's a very well-rounded and fast running
- 3:31:38back. So what does that smell like?
- 3:31:40It smells like Tyree Kill getting juked by the social
- 3:31:43media woman that caused him to fall on his ass and he falls
- 3:31:46into the Atlantic Ocean into a a area filled with Swedish
- 3:31:51fermented herring AKA the smelliest fish in America fast
- 3:31:54liquor. Wow, I'll tell.
- 3:31:57You what I wrote. Fermented.
