• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and it was great. Had a wonderful turnout and it
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was really you know, for Dixter, the Dixter Dick and Dayton,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: who's been calling for twenty something years. He's getting older

• 1:02
  Speaker 1: had a suit on and he was eating pizza and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: got all over the suit and it was just great.
• 1:07

  Speaker 3: So it's a lot of fun.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend too much time on that now, but
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about it throughout the week and obviously the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: podcast I'll get into details this weekend on the recap
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of what happened meeting some legend justin and Cincinnati, just Josh, Scott, Joe,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the Ghost and all those guys that made the.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Track of something that most of them live in the
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: area there, so it was like right in their backyard.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: But it was a lot of fun. So hopefully we'll
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: be back there at some point. Great turnout a lot
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of fans of the show.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And was great. But our lead this hour, don't.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Bury the lead, mom man, So I think the most
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: compelling story, the most compelling story is what's going on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in baseball.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the NBA later.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start with baseball though, because our lead this
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: hour on the Changing of the Guard. Uh Now, I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: mention had a wonderful time in Cincinnati, ended up at
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we did go to the Reds game.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Uh one with you know, some some of the big
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: supporters of the show.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: There we hung out together. I was on my own,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: so we went to the Reds Tigers game. Had I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was with Robbie, the Mariner fan. My muscle can't close
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the deal. Neil, his son, was with me.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: We had Queen Roxanne, Tommy from Atlanta.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: We all sat out in the in the outfield there
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in right field, and it was it was great. And uh,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it was like the second or third inning, I think
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I forget exactly when. But Queen Roxanne was futzing.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Around with her phone and she mentioned that Alex Cora
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: had been whacked as the Red Sox manager. So oh
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: man and uh and so then a bunch of stuff
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: came out, uh at the nighttime after that, and then
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: obviously here on Sunday.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So it's a pretty big deal.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: The Red Sox were supposed to be one of the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: better teams in the American League and they suck. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: will be played better this weekend. Okay, good congrats. I'll
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: give you a cookie. So Alex Cora, not only him,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but one, two, three, five of his little helpers have
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: been excommunicated from the Red Sox family.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: In the midst of this misery, and we're.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Not even out of April yet, and the Red Sox
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: not looking particularly good at this point. Now many people
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: have questioned, what are you doing here? Not a lot
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of answers, Not a lot of answers. As one of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: my buddies in Baltimore pointed out, the Red Sox were
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: so embarrassed by this they had a meeting with the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: media news conference on Sunday and they did not even
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: use the Red Sox backdrop.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: They used the oil backdrop because they were like, well.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: If people aren't paying attention to those sports bars and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: they're flipping through the channels, they'll see the orioles and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: they won't think it's anything about the Red Sox and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: all that. Anyway, the news is Alice Core out. So
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that's the jumping all point. Let us discuss the question
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Alice Core decommissioned as the Red Sox manager over the weekend.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Why did it happen? And why did it happen? Now?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: So my thoughts on this.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I've got Carl's junior, Jimmy Buffett and Pappy but not Poppy.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and we'll.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Combine all of these things together and we are going
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to crack the.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Code is what we're going to do.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: So a this is not about the record, which, oh,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: by the way, is pretty bad. The Red Sox team
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: charter is the vomit.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Comet this year. Not good, not good at all, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: it's an absolute abomination.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: That being said, the reason why this happened and why
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it happened now is because of John Henry. John Henry
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was unable to handle the smoke, the owner of the team.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And every time John Henry has looked at social media and.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: These guys will have burner accounts on honest.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So he's looking around, looking at the feedback, and he's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: talking to his buddies at the Hampton's and all these
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: other places that they hang out, people hang out, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he's absolutely getting charbroiled like a Carl's Junior Famous Star
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: or a Hearty's if you're east of the Mississippi.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: And he's just getting charbroiled.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: John Henry's getting cooked, and he finally realized, well, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: can't take the heat anymore. I mean, I don't like
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: eating a burger, but I don't want to be charbroiled.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And it's turned into a public relations inferno. And Alice Cora,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: who was the only bucket of water that he realistically
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: had to play at this point, and so he tossed
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it on the Boston roster. But this roster is pu
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: what sticks. It's a joke, and they're out there hitting
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like a group of lightweight feather dusters.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: And that's one thing.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Even when the rest has been bad over the year,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: they've always had good offensive teams. Right now, they're terrible
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: warning track, power check, and they handed a roster which, granted,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was not great. Right if you were go to the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: butcher Shop, this would be more like Top Round. It
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: is not Porterhouse. The Red Sox ownership would like to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: see results that are Porterhouse. It's more Top Round than Porterhouse.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And then they it was acting shocked that the health
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: department shut the whole thing down because of a cockroach infestation.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: And then you have the biggest.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Uh oh, the biggest uh oh that would.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Be the future of the franchise.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, who, much like the Roman Empire, things are not.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Going great right now.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The Crown Jewel, the guy that will be here with
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox long after I'm done doing this show.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: He'll just be here forever.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And no so far, well, let's see how's that going?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: All sizzle nosteak the poster child right now for the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: developmental system of the Red Sox, which has got a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: lot of hype and right this moment not a lot
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of delivery. Also, the front office traded for someone named
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Caleb Durbitt from the Brewers, And how's that working on
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this guy? If you've seen him play, and I haven't
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: watched much of the Red Sox, but if you've seen
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: him play, he looks like he should be calling B
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: seventeen at the local DMV, not replacing Rafie Devers or
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that cheating astro Alex Bregman. Either way, I mean, it's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: not not particularly great. And so John Henry like he
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: didn't just fire Alex Cora the manager. He needed a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: human sacrifice. And so he's like, hey, one of my
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: favorite movies. I imagine this conversation happened in my head.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It did, John Henry, the Red Sox owners. I love
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that Joe Versus the Volcano, that old movie back in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the day, like forty year old movie. And so Cora,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put him on the lava and we'll see
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: what happens. You know, because little messing around what'sing around
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and all that ownership could not stand the product, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it's it's ghastly. It's been mostly ghastly so far this year.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And it's not just a disaster with a Capitol D
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: at least early season baseball.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: This is like if it was a.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Big production, Hollywood production, we straight to streaming catastrophe. He
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of money and you just boom right
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to streaming bad. All right now, turning the page, but
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not far so. There's a couple of photos that have
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: been posted by Alex Korra, the one that really rocked
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the boat, because everyone gets worked up by photos.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: For our blind listeners, let me describe.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: So the Red Sox coaches that were all sent packing
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a long walk off a short pier. They were spotted
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: smiling on the flight home as they were getting ready
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to board the chartered flight. The Red Sox were in Baltimore,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and and you had all the coaches Mondy now Jason Veritek,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: who also I guess got reassigned. We'll find out about
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that later on On Monday, he was giving the thumbs
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: down a mooji, but it was his hand he gave
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the thumbs down emoji. There on the photo, so thumbs
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: down there, and it was posted by Alex Cora on Instagram.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: And then on we wait, there's more on Sunday, and
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: we're heading into a Monday.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: But on Sunday it was a nice dinner at an
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Italian beastra on the North.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: End and they were all smiling.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Man, these guys are so fricking happy, happy, happy, happy days. Question,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: should Red Sox fans be mad that the fired coaches
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: looked happier on that plane ride from Baltimore back to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Boston than they did all season, and while enjoying a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: nice Italian meal. So as the court of the Mallard Militia,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the judge of the Malon missa in the courtroom. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I've got my imaginary gavel and I'm gonna hit the gavel,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm hitting the gavel, and the ruling is
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: guilty as charged. That photo, the first one, was not
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in bashing both not just tone deaf.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: It was like a full blown.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Symphony, a grant like the Boston Pops of Cluelessness. You've
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: got Alice Cora posting a smile, care free departure, like
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the whole group. They weren't going back to Boston. They
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: were headed to Jimmy Buffett's Margaret Riteville, not back to unemployment.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And that's not accident, all right, this was strategic true.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I believe there was a message in that, like there's like, hey,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna with us, you know, you you idiots upstairs,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: your little dopey ownership group out there. And so it's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: also a slap across the face to the to the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: hardos that are really invested in the Red Sox. And
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: then Jason Veritek with the thumbs down body language one
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: oh one. The clubhouse was not aligned, the urgency was
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: not there, and the other photo, I believe they're all
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: thumbs up. I think the second photo that was because
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: they were aware of the blowback from the first photo.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: So instead of going defcon one, the coaches went beach mode.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And now that's it, and so you exposed the rot,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the cultural rot with the Red Sox here, which is
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: also a case of not having good enough players, but
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the Country Street Club operation masquerading as what was supposed
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to be a contender here and John Henry needed a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: fall guy, needed a fall guy. However, the numbers are
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: not good and they generally do not lie bottom tier
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: offense right now for the Red Sox. A lot of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: empty calorie stats. There's not a lot of pulse there.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You didn't have to post the photos you did, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that tells you that you were trying to send a message.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about Alice Corey here all right now, the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: last word, keeping the beat, going to put the bow
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: on my pride and enjoy here a monologue about a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: manager that getting gets whacked. So the question here, after
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: getting poll axed by the Red Sox, what is next
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: for Alice core So?
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: That's simple, that's simple.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And this is one of the reasons we don't get
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: too worked up about ripping people in sports.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Who get fired.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: It's not like a regular human being. It's fake, it's phone,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it's fraudulent. These guys get paid in full, they get
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: paid in full. Who gives a rats ass if these
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: rip them rip their asses? If they get fired, who cares?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And and Cora is a great example gold plated sabbatical.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: He'll be lounging on a pillowy seven point two five
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: million dollar salary that not only we paid the rest
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six, but also in twenty twenty seven,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: which means you can go around to every Italian restaurant
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: on the North End and smile and laugh and go
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: eat cream puffs and shove them.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Down your throat and who cares? All right now, the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: next stop.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: For Cora is gonna be the boob tube because he's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: got friends Debonair. Guy's got friends at the ESPN and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: MLB network, and they that's how they hire this jock ocracy.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: They hire these guys. Now, I wouldn't be shocked if
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: he ends up on NBC. They've got that fugazy revolving
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: door thing where they don't have any color commentator and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: they put these like local guys on and it's not
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: very good most.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Of the time. It sucks.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: So Cora's out there, and he did TV before he
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: went in to coaching and all that stuff, and Cora
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: as a manager. The perception is he's gone from the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: butcher knife to the butter knife, Like there's not as
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: much edge there, and the success they had when he
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: inherited a pretty thick roster not there. And there's been
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of last place finishes. It's either been really
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: good or nowhere in the middle.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: You just suck and TV. You go to a TV.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: It pays not these money pays well and it rehabs
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: your reputation and all that you get paid to talk,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you never lose. And there's some that are saying he's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: going to manage again. There's a lot of chatter here
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: as we head into the overnight. The Mets got smacked
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: around by the Rockies, and there's a lot of chatter
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that the Mets are going to get rid of their
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: manager at some point, possibly today.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: We'll see if that happens or not.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: But Cora, that could be a spot for you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he's tight with some of the guys on the Mets,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: so that could be possibility.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: That he ends up there.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's doubtful. And why would you want to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: walk into that mess? Uh, that's at this point that's
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: not a fixer upper. And so Coorra can sit back
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and sip some Pappy van Winkle bourbon, get some of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that high end bourbon, and then just wait for the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: next win. Now owner that's all horny to win's got
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a roster that's almost there, and not necessarily a meddling owner,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: but somebody with deep pockets and down the line. Now,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: if you were to say, hey, can you can you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: pull out the Mallard crystal ball? Yes I can, Yes,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I can. I can pull out the Mallard crystal ball.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And looking ahead here, you know, keep an eye on
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the Phillies. You got his old old red sox GM
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski. The Phillies are terrible. Have you seen how
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: bad they are? So Dave Dombrowski in Philadelphia. If he
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: keeps his job, he could lose his job too. Or
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the chaos factory of the Mets as a possibility,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And hey, why not return to the cheating ass because
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I've not forgotten. I've not forgotten that little weasel Alice Cora,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: who's forever got the cooties. He's got the cooties he does,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And go back to that old den of iniquity. Why
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: not go to Houston. They've already brought back Carlos Correa,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that cheat, and they've got.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Al Bouve, that cheat.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So why not bring bring him back, bring Kor back,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: bring Beltron back, bring him all back, all the cheats,

• 16:41
  Speaker 1: The story that is most interesting to me is a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: team that was expected to be pretty good and they
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: blow their she blows. We're talked about Philadelphia here the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: wings of change have started to blow and if you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: listen close, he can almost cheer them. Oh man, look
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: at that right through the Delaware Valley. The wins have changed.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: So if if you weren't paying attention to the Philadelphia
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Phillies have decommissioned their manager, Rob Thompson. He's out after
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a nine and nineteen start. The Phillies did win in
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a route or route in the in their game on Tuesday,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: but the Phillies coming into that game nine to nineteen,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: So Thompson out the two hundred and eighty four million
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: dollar payroll, not paying dividends right now as they were
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: in last place, bringing up the caboose in the National
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: League East Division that has the Mets who suck and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the Nationals who aren't any good either. So Philly didn't
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs all four years, all four years with
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: stacked rosters. This guy, Rob Thompson was managing. They made
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the playoffs all four years, and yet they went from
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: winning the Pennant and it thought, well.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: They're gonna win the World Series and all.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And when they got there back in the day and
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: against Arizona, not again, who they play in the world
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: A Texas right, was it Texas?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, was anyway? They now regressed? They did lose
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: to Arizona worl those years in the playoffs. So he's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: not gone well. And this comes after being now Don
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Mattingly was the guy that got the gig. By the way,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: he's the interim manager, and Don was I was around
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: him a lot when he managed the Dodgers and that
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: didn't go so well. That's some good teams, not like
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: they have now anyway, And he said he never wanted
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to manage again. So Dave Dombrowski says, how would you
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: like to manage the Dodgers. The reason that the Phillies rather,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the reason that Dombrowski went with this guy, Don Mattingley,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the former Yankee legend from the eighties forty years ago,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: is because he tried to hire Alex Cora and was
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: rejected rejection by the Red Sox trash Alex Cora, who
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: was dumped by Boston over the weekend. So Don Mattingley
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: came in. He's I'll be the guy for the rest
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: of the year. We say the rest of the year.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: That's most of the season, like it's it's only April.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: There's I know it's late April, there's a lot of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: time left, and so you look around Don madding, He's like, Wow,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: we're gonna emphasize the you know, the team needs to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: improve in all aspects of the game. Thank you, captain obvious.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: No way, So this sounds like you know what it
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: sounds like to me? It sounds like a Dick in
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Dayton phone camemember. We asked famously, We asked, Dick and Dayton,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you know how come the Cleveland Indians turn things around
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: years ago? And I said, they got to pitch or
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: they got to hit and that's it. And Don magics like, well,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: they got to pitch, they got to hit, play defense.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: What else is there? Is there anything else? Donnie Baseball?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Is there anything else?
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: No?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: The president of Baseball Offs Dave Dombrowski Dave don Browski
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: stated the Phillies quote needed a different voice, which apparently
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: was not the voice of Rob Thompson. Maybe what if
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: they had asked him, say, you know that your voice
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: people are tuning it out. Why don't you just change
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the inflection in your voice, go a little higher, have
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a higher pitched voice, and then we don't need to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: fire your ass. We'll just have a different voice. How
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: about that Holy Fat's in Philadelphia Batman. Obviously that did
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: not happen. So Dombrowski also shockingly said he believes the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: roster is good enough to turn things around. So this
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: is the step the Phillies made. Let's discuss good jumping
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: off point. And so the question what does Dave Dombrowski
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: mean when he says the Phillies needed a different voice?
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: What does that mean? Exactly?
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: As I said, I was, of course tongue in cheek
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: pointing out the inflection a little higher on that. I've
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: got AirPods, Tony Robbins and lemon drop Martini, and we
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: going to make a late night infomercial for some pots.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: That's what we're gonna make, all right.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: So ay, when Dave Dombrowski, who's been a baseball executive
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: since the seventies, in the early eighties, long time this
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: guy's been around, he knows where all the bodies are
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: buried Don Browski. And so when Dave don Browski comes
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: out and says the Phillies need a different voice, that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: is the front office code. It is a dog whistle,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: mak bark bark bart a dog whistle that the boys
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: on the team, Uh, they don't like the manager.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: It's kind of obvious, right. You don't need me to
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: tell you that.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Dombrowski has been around long enough to recognize the smell
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the odor emanating from the locker room and it reeks.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: It's a sulfur smell. It's not good. And Philly wasn't
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: just underperforming. They were running a clubhouse rebellion. It would
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: appear and you know a little bit, because it's above
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like the iceberg there.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I believe in the iceberg theory, like you.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Know what's above the surface, but very little is actually
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: above the surface. Most of the iceberg is below below
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the water. And you look at the core guys and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: this is on Bryce Harper, Trade Turner and Kyle Schwarber,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the shwar Bomb. Those guys, the headliners on the Philadelphia fields.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: They were not buying in. Obviously they were not buying in.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: And it's not exactly great leadership when you have to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: fire the manager because the star players aren't doing their job.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: And on the field or in the clubhouse, the clicks
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: start forming and all that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: So team wide.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: They passed out Apple AirPods noise canceling headphones, and the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: guys put them on there and they're like, Okay, that's it,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: We're good to go. And the hitters, I don't know
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. It seems like they have no game plan.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I assume they do. The hitters aren't just following the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: game plan there. The pitchers don't appear to know what
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: they're doing. The pitch calm, I guess they're just ignoring it,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: doing whoever the hell they want. And so you've got
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: all of those things, guys, the reports that some of
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the players not exactly paying it attention to their job, not.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Showing up as early as they're supposed to do.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: So they're technically on time, but there's that gray area,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: so not exactly a slump. We're a month in now,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: they've played enough to see that this is not getting better.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: And you still have time because there have been plenty
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of teams that have been mediocre for two months into
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the season. Remember the Atlanta Braves won the World Series.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Tommy and Atlanta's Braves won the World Series a couple
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: of years ago, and they were pretty mediocre. Five hundred
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: under five hundred at the All Star break and they
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: ended up winning the World Series. So there's time. There's
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: always a lot of time. That's why I point out
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the hardest World Series of all time was the pandemic
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: here because that was different. You didn't have a lot
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of time. Yeah that was it. And yeah, a lot
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of you idiots don't understand that you're not that bright.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: So this is prove it what the Phillies are doing.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: This is a preemptive strike because they believe they still
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: have enough time. If you only played sixty games, it
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: wouldn't matter. You're cooked at that particular point. So anyway,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: let's chatter about non compliance and lack of professional and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And it appears that the clicks in
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse you have a shadow government, if you will,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and the own rules, the O playlist, all that stuff,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And so the manager Rob Thompson, didn't
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: just lose the room. It appears that he was evicted
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: from the room. They put the little note there on
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the door. This is in eviction notice and get out
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: of here. And at some point you have to stop
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: calling it inconsistency with the fight and pills and start
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: calling it just insubordination, and that's it. This was not
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a failure. This was sabotage, is what it was. Now
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: keeping the beat going here, So give me the odds.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Here's the question. Give me the odds on interim manager
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Don Maddingly. If you're of a certain age, if you're
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: around my age, Don Mattingly was a massive deal in baseball,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Like they had these things called posters, and a lot
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: of dudes around my age had post Wade bogs from
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Boston and Don Mattingley. And then there was Dan Marino
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: with the Dolphins that was big as well. But we're
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: talking about Don matting So can he oversee what are
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the odds he can oversee a miracle comeback? So we've
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: turned to the Malord of sports book gods, the Mallard
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of sports book gods. I'm gonna set this at plus
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: one forty plus one forty. That is a based on
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the math forty percent shot, which does feel a bit
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: like Benny Brightside. And I'm being Benny bright'side in this.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I'm very generous. When the team, I know they won
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: randomly on on Tuesday, the team, uh, it just it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: like a frozen TV dinner and you gotta let it
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: fall out a little bit, and the team's gotta fall
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: and all that. The Phillies are not just cold over
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks of the season. Here they are.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: It's like Ted Williams. They're frozen on ice somewhere in Arizona,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the cryo frozen therapy thing. You know, your croak And
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: they said, oh yeah, bring it back a thousand years
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And okay, that sounds good. Why not bring me back?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: But this is not a talent issue. It is not
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: You have an almost three hundred million dollars payroll in
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia and coming into play on Tuesday, the Phillies were
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: ranked twenty eight in baseball in run score, twenty eighth,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth in baseball. Stagnant would be the word that
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: we would use. However, Don Madding did not did not
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: sign up to manage. He didn't want to manage. He
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: said he didn't want to manage, and here he is managing,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and so he's essentially gonna be a babysitter and hope
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that he just kind of plays that cool. Hey, I've
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: been there. I know big time media and stuff like that,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: how to deal with it. And I'm just gonna let
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: you guys go out there and do your thing. And
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: this is a team that is if you look around here,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: all right, Don Madding is essentially going to have to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: try to reboot a broken supercomputer and all he has
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: it's like mcguiver, except he doesn't have a knife. He
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: just has a paper clip. He does not have any tape.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And if he does have tape, it's not scotch tape.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: It's the duct tape. So it's just a paper clip
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and some scotch tape and that's that's not good enough.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: And so it's it's.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Underperforming, but it's more like performance art the way this
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: has gone in Philadelphia, and so this is not again,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I don't go back to my point. It's not a
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: talent issue. It's not that, it's why are you playing
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: like the Colorado Rockies? What's wrong with you? The pitching
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: staff is also not very good at run prevention so
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: far this season. They stink at that, in fact, that
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: they're acting more like a tax deductible charity at this
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: point with how bad they've been again aside from the
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: latest performance, but the Phillies all season and how you
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: get to this point and struggling and all that struggle
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: lug lug, and so Don Mattingly has to go in
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: there and he's got to go like the old school
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Tony Robbins and unleashed the power within the self esteem
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: program to help these sorry ass Phillies and remind the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: guys that they actually had good careers. That's how they
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: got paid all the money. They don't look like it
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: right now. They look terrible, all right, last word, So
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: let's get to the main event here.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: We've saved the main event for right now.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: So, after the Red Sox whacked their manager over the weekend,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Alex Korra, the Philadelphia Phillies GM, Dave Dombrowski.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Said, I know you. You were my manager with the
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Red Sox.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: So Dombrowski went out and decided, you know what, I'm
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: going to recruit Alice Cora, and he ultimately decided to
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: offer Alice core the job. And Cora said, I'm gonna
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: go Matamble, I reject you rejected it, rejected.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I said, you wanted to spend the summer in his
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: is native land there in Puerto Rico with his family.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Rather than go from the Red Sox to the Philadelphia Phillies.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: So they question, can you explain the message? Explain the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: message that Alice cor is giving to both Major League
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Baseball and the Phillies by rejecting Dave Dombrowski. So on
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: this one, Alice Court did not just pass up on
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Philly job. I didn't just do that. He
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: filed a public out of office note he said, I'm
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: out of The memo was sent to everyone.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: The email was to all employees, all of them.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: That's where we are at this particular point, right. And
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: this wasn't a standard. This was not a standard here.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: This was when I say standard, your standard. Thanks, but
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: no thanks. It's not you, it's me. It was not that.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: The way I interpret Alice Cora and his decision to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: reject the Phillies, this was a two for one special,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a two for as the kids used to say, two
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: for one special, a total lack of confidence in the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia roster, and a loud declaration again that I'm going
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to take some paid time off and the Red Sox
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: are paying me, and I'm going to enjoy every dime
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: of John Henry's money. And that's it. That's all. Don't
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you think though? And riddle me this batman don't you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: think that if the Phillies, in the eyes of Alexcorra,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: were legit, that this was salvageable, he would have taken
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the job. Isn't that kind of obvious that he would
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: have taken the job if he thought that this team
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: could turn things around. He obviously did not, and if
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the Phillies were a vacation package, Alice, Corra just clicked out,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: plan my own trip, thank you, I'm good. And his
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: own trip, by the way, is choosing to go to
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: was at the Flamenco Beach. Is at the famous beach
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: there in Puerto Rico, go down there, and he's telling
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball at this moment, he's saying, Hey, I'm
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: not interested in that. I don't want this stress. It's
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: also a memo to the New York Mets unless is
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: there a conspiracy that Core actually wants the Mets job
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and that's the job that he wants. And Core's like, well,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I'll just wait for the Mets to fire their manager
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and then I'll slide on in.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And that's it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: But at this point, you got to say Cora looked
