  You're going to have a ton of money to spend.

  Why not put it in one of the top three offensive players in the
• 0:05
  league? We're going to be looking at

  Aaron Judge and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael

• 2:35
  www.worldwidesportsradio.com. It has been absolutely crazy.
• 2:43
  It's been a sharp week. And what I mean by that, the
• 2:46
  weather has been a little bit cooler.
• 2:49
  I like this weather, but it's been cloudy, it's been gloomy
• 2:52
  outside and it just seems to bring out and bring down people.
• 2:56
  And today all day people have been just in a bad mood.
• 3:01
  And it makes me in a bad mood when I'm around people and
• 3:03
  people are in a bad mood. It makes me absolutely hesitant
• 3:08
  on what I'm doing, where I am and and what they are doing
• 3:12
  around me. And today, and it seems like I'm
• 3:15
  around a lot of older people in their 60s, in their 70s, they
• 3:19
  have this problem with younger people, younger generation of
• 3:24
  people. And they think that I'm like in
• 3:26
  my 20s. They think that I'm a young kid.
• 3:28
  You're a kid, you're a kid. And I'm, and I'm like, I'm 43
• 3:31
  years old, Sir. And this guy opened up his door,
• 3:36
  hit my car, heard him. I heard him hit the car.
• 3:40
  And then he looks at me, making it seem like he didn't hit the
• 3:43
  car. I come out of the car.
• 3:45
  I'm speaking to him. I'm trying to confront him on
• 3:49
  what he did and to apologize. And he looked at me like I had 6
• 3:53
  heads. Oh, I didn't do that.
• 3:55
  And I'm looking at my car trying to find dads, trying to find
• 3:58
  scratches. And he says I, I don't see
• 4:01
  anything over there, but you hit my car and, and he was just
• 4:04
  nasty. And I don't, I don't get it.
• 4:06
  I don't get people's attitudes here in New York.
• 4:09
  I don't get people's attitudes period on social media and just
• 4:14
  what they think and and they're attacks to me.
• 4:17
  I like it. I like to be a heel.
• 4:19
  I don't like the way people respond on some of the things
• 4:23
  that I say because they're absolutely wrong.
• 4:25
  They don't listen to the whole take.
• 4:27
  They listen to the what minute, minute and a half short and
• 4:31
  they're just nasty and and and they have no idea what they're
• 4:33
  listening to because all they have to do is listen to the 1525
• 4:37
  minute take on our Spotify or Apple or even the hour take that
• 4:43
  We go in and we go out and we argue.
• 4:44
  We got Joppa his own opinion, we have Fish, we have Speedy.
• 4:48
  Everybody's got their own freaking opinion and everybody
• 4:51
  has a right to their own opinion.
• 4:53
  And that's why we have Jack Burke in the studio today and
• 4:56
  we're going to get into the World Series in his Otani take
• 4:59
  because he has his love fest for Otani and Jack.
• 5:02
  Why don't you tell the fans what you do?
• 5:04
  I I don't know if anybody knows who you are.
• 5:07
  You do a lot of great things here in the tri-state building
• 5:11
  for former Mets Mets players right now in the game, Yankees.
• 5:16
  I mean, you do a lot of things with a lot of different
• 5:18
  athletes. So why don't, why don't you give
• 5:19
  the fans a little bit of a take on who you are?
• 5:22
  Well, I'm a sports marketing agent and I work with players
• 5:27
  from all sports and I booked them into appearances, public
• 5:33
  appearances, private autograph appearances, you know, card
• 5:37
  shows, events, charity events. I booked them all over the
• 5:42
  country. I'm involved with most of the
• 5:44
  major sports memorabilia shows, including the Fanatics Fan Fest
• 5:50
  in New York City in June that that was held held last year,
• 5:54
  and Chicago, and I'm working all the time, so it's good.
• 6:00
  It's good to work. I I like to work.
• 6:02
  I'm, I'm a, I'm a jumper. And if you don't know what a
• 6:05
  jump actually, I don't like using jumpers.
• 6:08
  I'm a hopper. I like to hop from one job to
• 6:11
  another. As a matter of fact, this
• 6:13
  weekend I'm going to be hopping. I have a wedding I'm emceeing
• 6:17
  here at 3 Village Inn. So I'm going to be doing a
• 6:20
  wedding at the Three Village Inn.
• 6:22
  Then I'm going to be at Sunken Meadow on Saturday night by
• 6:25
  myself, one man, 150 people and then I'm doing a friend's
• 6:30
  wedding on Sunday. So I'm a hopper.
• 6:31
  I like to entertain people, happy to be and I was in the gym
• 6:35
  today. So I went from one job to
• 6:37
  another job and, and anybody that knows anything about the
• 6:39
  gym, it's a job. It is absolutely a job because
• 6:43
  when you walk through the doors, you don't want to be there.
• 6:45
  And when you leave, you feel good about yourself.
• 6:48
  I never feel good about myself when I leave the gym.
• 6:50
  I'm always nasty and and sweaty and disgusting.
• 6:54
  It's not one of my Forte. This is the story that everybody
• 6:58
  wants to talk about and I'm going to get into it.
• 7:00
  The 2025 World Series is now tied 2 to 2 after the Dodgers
• 7:05
  won an epic game three in 18 in innings six to five before the
• 7:11
  Blue Jays took game four Tuesday 6 to 2 and 18 innings tied the
• 7:16
  longest game in World Series history.
• 7:18
  The game also involved the Dodgers in 2018 when they beat
• 7:24
  the Red Sox. Freddie Freeman had a walk off
• 7:27
  home run to win game three after neither team had scored in
• 7:33
  almost 7 innings. Well, since the 7th inning, so I
• 7:37
  it's actually more than that. In game four, Vladimir Guerrero
• 7:40
  junior hit 2A2 run home run off of Shay Ohtani, his seventh of
• 7:47
  the postseason, a new Blue Jays franchise record.
• 7:50
  Ohtani was charged with two more runs in the seventh inning as
• 7:56
  the Blue Jays put the game out of reach with four runs in the
• 8:01
  inning. In tonight's Game 5 rookie Trey
• 8:05
  you Savage You Savage will start for the Blue Jays, while two
• 8:10
  time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell will go for the Dodgers.
• 8:15
  And I, I want to get into this series because I was the only
• 8:19
  one that picked the Blue Jays to win this series.
• 8:21
  And, and everybody heard my take over the last two weeks and it
• 8:24
  was really being built up. Ohtani versus Vladimir Guerrero.
• 8:30
  Vladimir Guerrero was expected to be a top five player this
• 8:33
  year and he really became a superstar throughout this
• 8:38
  playoff run. And Vladimir Guerrero needed to
• 8:41
  make a statement in game #4 and boy did he ever.
• 8:44
  But I want to go into the Game 3 because a lot of people are
• 8:48
  speaking about this was the one of the longest World Series
• 8:51
  games in baseball history. And everybody was talking about,
• 8:55
  oh, Shay Ohtani's on the mound in in game #4 So the Blue Jays
• 9:00
  have to come off with a win in game #3 if they have any chance
• 9:04
  to win this series. I sat here on this show and
• 9:07
  said, win or lose game three, the Blue Jays are going to be
• 9:11
  Shay Ohtani. I said it and everybody sitting
• 9:15
  here and thinks that I'm crazy and everybody has this love
• 9:17
  fetish for Shay Ohtani. And as well as you should.
• 9:21
  I'm not saying Shay Ohtani isn't special.
• 9:23
  He's a great player. He really is.
• 9:25
  Anybody that twists and turns and tries to figure out ways to
• 9:29
  say that he's not are probably lying to themselves.
• 9:33
  I'm not saying he's not great. I'm not saying he's not a top
• 9:35
  two, top three player in this league.
• 9:38
  But to say that he's the greatest baseball player of all
• 9:41
  time is a little bit going overboard because they're in the
• 9:46
  past, there was so many great players and there was a player
• 9:49
  who he's, you know, everybody's comparing them to and Babe Ruth,
• 9:53
  who a lot of people believe is the greatest baseball player of
• 9:55
  all time in this generation of play.
• 9:59
  Barry Bonds in my eyes, is the greatest baseball player I've
• 10:02
  ever seen. You want to say that he cheated?
• 10:04
  You want to say that he did steroids, That is fine.
• 10:08
  There's a lot of people that were doing amphetamines in, in
• 10:11
  the 50s and 60s. They were cheating.
• 10:14
  That's cheating. That makes you concentrate
• 10:16
  better. Why are people not looking at
• 10:18
  that and saying that's not cheating?
• 10:22
  Pete Rose, we all know he is still not in the Hall of Fame
• 10:25
  because he bet on baseball. Shaya Otani did the same thing.
• 10:30
  He's still playing in the league, ladies and gentlemen.
• 10:33
  Now there is no proof and everybody wants to push it to
• 10:36
  the side and say, well, you know, innocent until proven
• 10:39
  guilty. Well, this isn't the first time
• 10:42
  Shaya Otani's been involved with situations over the last few
• 10:46
  years which cost millions and millions of dollars to
• 10:50
  investors. But I I don't want to get into
• 10:53
  the Shah Otani story because this isn't Shah Otani.
• 10:56
  This is the Dodgers and the Blue Jays.
• 10:57
  We'll get into the Shah Otani argument because we have Jack
• 11:01
  Burke here, but this World Series has been crazy.
• 11:08
  It has been absolutely crazy. It's been a lot closer than
• 11:11
  people thought it would be. Everybody thought that this
• 11:14
  series would go in five. I beg to differ.
• 11:17
  I said this was going to go 7 because I think both teams are
• 11:21
  evenly matched, not by talent, but by heart.
• 11:26
  And that's what the Blue Jays have in this series.
• 11:29
  That's what the Blue Jays have proven to us throughout this
• 11:32
  playoff run. They went through the Yankees
• 11:36
  where everybody thought after Aaron Judge hit that three run
• 11:38
  shot that there was no chance the Blue Jays were going to win
• 11:43
  that series. Meanwhile, they were still up
• 11:45
  two to one. And there's a lot of New York
• 11:48
  analysts and broadcasters that said, oh, the Yankees going to
• 11:51
  run away with this series. And I thought that was crazy.
• 11:53
  I'm going to say it. And I said on the show, Sal
• 11:55
  Acosta, who's been, you know, neglecting to come on this show
• 12:00
  because he knows I'm going to just absolutely hammer him.
• 12:03
  I know his uncle. I've gone back and forth with
• 12:05
  his uncle who's a Philly fan. And I'm not going to sit here
• 12:09
  and make any excuses to what the Yankees were in that series.
• 12:13
  The Yankees don't have any depth in that lineup.
• 12:15
  It's all Aaron Judge and that's all it was as he was hitting 500
• 12:19
  throughout the series. But you look at what the Blue
• 12:24
  Jays have put together, this roster is not talented.
• 12:29
  If you go up and down this roster, there are three or four
• 12:32
  guys that a lot of people wouldn't even care about.
• 12:35
  What could give a crap about on this roster?
• 12:37
  Some of them ex Yankees. The fact is they needed a star
• 12:43
  to step up and Bichette has been hurt really the last two weeks
• 12:49
  of the season. 3 weeks of the season, nobody thought he was
• 12:52
  going to play in the playoffs. Now he showed up and he's
• 12:55
  playing in the World Series. Has he done a lot?
• 12:58
  No. Can he hit?
• 12:59
  Absolutely. Hit singles?
• 13:00
  He's one of the best single hitters in all of baseball for
• 13:03
  average. The guy can hit singles for
• 13:06
  that. If he can get into the box and
• 13:09
  hit, you got to give him a shot. But they needed a superstar
• 13:13
  player to step up, and Vladimir Guerrero, junior got paid a lot
• 13:16
  of money in the offseason and got $325 million upfront and
• 13:22
  guaranteed, tells me that he needed to show up, and he
• 13:27
  absolutely has. He's done everything you want a
• 13:31
  superstar player to do. And he did it in game #4 against
• 13:36
  Shayo Watani, where everybody thought was going to be
• 13:38
  unhittable, like he was in the final game of the Brewers series
• 13:42
  as they swept through the Brewers.
• 13:45
  And Shay Otani had 10 strikeouts in six innings in three home
• 13:49
  runs in one game. And everybody was like, this
• 13:51
  guy's the greatest baseball player of all time because of
• 13:54
  one game. Throughout this playoff run and
• 13:57
  throughout the playoffs, Shay Otani has hit 200.
• 14:01
  But it's not even the Shay Otani show, like I was saying, it's
• 14:05
  the pitching of the Dodgers. Yamamamoto has been
• 14:09
  unbelievable. Two complete games.
• 14:11
  Blake Snell, two time Cy Young winner.
• 14:15
  They made the move in the offseason to bring this guy in.
• 14:18
  They paid him deferred money. He's not getting paid all of it
• 14:21
  until probably 10 years from now, 8 years from now.
• 14:24
  But they brought in the great, the great Blake's now.
• 14:27
  And boy, he hasn't disappointed this year.
• 14:29
  He's got one of the best change UPS in baseball.
• 14:32
  He's thrown play, he's thrown hitters off the plate because of
• 14:36
  those change UPS and he throws down and out.
• 14:39
  He throws the way you want a star pitcher to throw and he's
• 14:44
  done it. Throughout the playoffs, he's
• 14:46
  been dominant. They made a move last year for
• 14:50
  Tyler Glass. Now the guy can't stay healthy,
• 14:54
  but when he's healthy, he's dominant.
• 14:57
  Their bullpen adding Sasaki as their closer is almost
• 15:03
  untouchable. Do they move Suzaki in the
• 15:08
  offseason as a starting pitcher? Now, after what we've seen so
• 15:11
  far throughout the playoffs, the answer would probably be no.
• 15:16
  Right now, the Dodgers are tied 2 to 2, and I don't think the
• 15:20
  Dodgers believe that this series was going to be even close.
• 15:24
  And why is this series close? Because just as good as the
• 15:29
  Dodgers, the Dodgers pitching has been, Shane Bieber was even
• 15:34
  better in game #4 yes, you heard it from me.
• 15:38
  Shane Bieber, a Cleveland guardian, a guy that had Tommy
• 15:43
  John surgery about a year ago, was traded at the trade
• 15:48
  deadline. And a lot of people were
• 15:50
  questioning the Blue Jays to make that trade.
• 15:53
  They gave up a significant pieces, young players, future
• 15:58
  players maybe could be a part of this roster.
• 16:02
  But they made the move because they thought Shane Bieber could
• 16:06
  be a missing piece to a veteran pitching staff.
• 16:11
  And you've seen the difference. Shane Bieber just earned himself
• 16:15
  a significant contract because he's going to opt out in the
• 16:18
  offseason. After this Game four and showing
• 16:21
  up the Game 4 the way he played, you have to believe Shane Bieber
• 16:26
  is going to make himself a lot of money next year.
• 16:28
  Remember, he's 31 years old. He's still fairly young.
• 16:32
  Can he throw the fastball like he used to?
• 16:34
  No. But he's got tremendous off
• 16:38
  speed pitches. He could throw the curve, he
• 16:40
  could throw the slider, he could throw the change.
• 16:42
  He can do a lot of things that you would expect a #2 or a #3
• 16:47
  pitcher to do. And if you look at the net
• 16:50
  Yankees and you look at Rodon, who's a #3 pitcher on this
• 16:53
  roster, when Garrett Cole comes back, a #3 pitcher is making $26
• 16:58
  million a year on most rosters, on most of them.
• 17:02
  Not the underpaid rosters like the Twins or or the Kansas City
• 17:07
  Royals, but on the big rosters. And right now, if you look at
• 17:12
  the perception of the Blue Jays, there is none.
• 17:16
  There's no perception anymore. This Blue Jays team deserves to
• 17:20
  be here. Everybody wanted to see the
• 17:22
  Mariners. I remember Jabba saying it.
• 17:24
  I remember Fish saying it. I remember I'm saying it.
• 17:28
  I wanted to see the Mariners. I wanted to see Rodriguez, young
• 17:31
  superstar. I wanted to see Cal Raleigh up
• 17:34
  for an MVP this year in the American League.
• 17:37
  Probably not going to win it, but that's because Aaron Judge
• 17:40
  and what Aaron Judge did this year.
• 17:42
  Nevertheless, you wanted to see these superstars and we didn't.
• 17:48
  Why? Because Vladimir Guerrero's bat
• 17:51
  woke up in the playoffs. And something that I couldn't
• 17:56
  believe because I didn't know if Vladimir Guerrero had it in them
• 18:00
  year in and year outs. And then the Blue Jays are not a
• 18:03
  playoff team. How many times have they made
• 18:05
  they made the playoffs in six years?
• 18:07
  Not many. Two or three times.
• 18:09
  And they usually get knocked out pretty quick.
• 18:11
  Swept in both series. So and Vladimir Guerrero never
• 18:15
  shows up in those series. Never.
• 18:17
  He's been hot from the first game though in the playoffs.
• 18:20
  Oh, I'm, I'm going to get into his numbers right now and, and
• 18:24
  when you look at Vladimir Guerrero and pulling up his
• 18:28
  numbers, they're extensionally good that you can't argue that
• 18:33
  this this guy isn't an elite player in this league.
• 18:37
  Guerrero right now is hitting over 400 throughout the
• 18:42
  playoffs, 400 has seven home runs throughout the playoffs,
• 18:48
  breaking Joe Carter's record in 1993 when the Blue Jays won a
• 18:53
  World Series and the last time they won a World Series.
• 18:59
  It is incredible when you think about father and son and
• 19:03
  Vladimir Guerrero senior who is compared to one of the greatest
• 19:08
  outfielders, one of the greatest arms, one of the greatest 5 tool
• 19:11
  players the majors have ever seen.
• 19:15
  And, and being compared. We, we talk about father and
• 19:18
  sons and a lot of these father and son combinations never work
• 19:21
  out. If the father's good, the son is
• 19:24
  bad. When the son is good, the father
• 19:25
  was OK. Think about it.
• 19:28
  Patrick Mahomes senior was a pitcher for the New York Mets.
• 19:32
  Remember that It was a decent pitcher.
• 19:35
  It wasn't great. He played for the Texas Rangers,
• 19:38
  played with Alex Rodriguez. His son is a better athlete than
• 19:43
  his dad is. As a matter of fact, his son is
• 19:45
  one of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL, won three Super
• 19:48
  Bowls already. He's what, 2829 years old, still
• 19:52
  has a lot of career left Now. He Patrick Mahomes junior, could
• 19:56
  have played professional baseball.
• 19:58
  He was a great baseball player. He was great.
• 20:02
  And Alex Rodriguez, who who was on the Jimmy Fallon show the
• 20:05
  other day, it was pretty funny. They had a picture.
• 20:08
  Jimmy had a picture. Of Patrick Mahomes Junior at the
• 20:11
  age of 10, taking a picture with Alex Rodriguez when he was
• 20:14
  playing with his father in Texas.
• 20:17
  And Patrick Mahomes Junior kept going up to him week in and week
• 20:21
  out during practice and asking him, give me some advice.
• 20:25
  I need some advice. And, and Alex was like, I what,
• 20:29
  what kind of advice you want me to give you?
• 20:30
  And then finally, he asked him a question.
• 20:32
  He said, I, I play baseball. I play football.
• 20:34
  I'm great at both sports. What sport should I play
• 20:38
  professionally? And he looked at him and he made
• 20:40
  a joke. He said you don't want to play
• 20:43
  football. You make more money playing
• 20:45
  baseball. And he made a joke about that.
• 20:48
  And Patrick Mahomes decided to play football.
• 20:50
  He's one of the best quarterbacks right now in the
• 20:51
  NFL. And every time he sees Alex
• 20:54
  Rodriguez now because they're friends, he makes a joke about
• 20:56
  it because it was bad information that Alex Rodriguez
• 20:59
  gave to the great Patrick Mahomes.
• 21:02
  Why am I bringing this up? I'm going to go right into it.
• 21:06
  $500 million worth. Vladimir Guerrero in the
• 21:10
  offseason got paid over $500 million, five hundred, $325
• 21:19
  million upfront. When you think about that, I've
• 21:24
  said this over and over and over again.
• 21:26
  The Mets were gunning for him. The Mets wanted him.
• 21:29
  And if he went to free agency, he's as good as gone.
• 21:32
  He goes to the New York Mets, He plays with his best buddy, Juan
• 21:35
  Soto. He plays with his buddy Lindor.
• 21:37
  He's gone. He signed the contract cuz he
• 21:40
  wanted to stay with the Blue Jays.
• 21:42
  Now, remember, his father started his career in Montreal
• 21:46
  with the Expos. He grew up, Vladimir Guerrero
• 21:50
  junior, grew up in Montreal, in Canada before the Montreal
• 21:57
  Canadi, well, Montreal Expos were disbanded.
• 22:00
  Gone sold. They became the Nationals and
• 22:05
  Vladimir Guerrero senior went to the Angels.
• 22:10
  Now you think about that and you think about the hatred Vladimir
• 22:14
  Guerrero senior had to the New York Yankees.
• 22:17
  Maybe Vladimir Vladimir Guerrero junior might have picked the
• 22:20
  Yankees, maybe if his father couldn't stand the New York
• 22:23
  Yankees organization. The Dodgers are an organization
• 22:29
  that believes that this team is going to be a team of a decade.
• 22:35
  That means they're going to win multiple championships.
• 22:38
  And what I mean by that, they want to be the next New York
• 22:41
  Yankees. They want to be the 90s New York
• 22:43
  Yankees. They want to be a franchise
• 22:46
  that's going to be remembered forever.
• 22:48
  And what did they do? They made some unique moves.
• 22:53
  They made a lot of them. They brought in Friedman from
• 22:56
  Atlanta. They brought in Mookie Betts
• 22:58
  from the Boston Red Sox, 2 MVPS. Then they brought in all
• 23:06
  different players from all different organizations.
• 23:11
  They have one guy on their roster right now that they
• 23:14
  drafted that is a starter in their lineup and that's their
• 23:20
  catcher. Think about that.
• 23:22
  Every single one of these players, Hernandez, not a
• 23:25
  Dodger. You go up and down this roster
• 23:28
  of talent and this is a great team.
• 23:32
  Muncie is not from the Dodgers organization, organization.
• 23:37
  None of those guys are really from that organization.
• 23:40
  They built it by buying players. Now everybody wants to compare
• 23:44
  this Dodger team to the New York Yankees of the 90s.
• 23:46
  Not even comparable. The Yankees built around a core
• 23:49
  players. I've said this many, many times.
• 23:51
  They had Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Bernie
• 23:54
  Williams, Alec, Derek Jeter. They built around a core
• 23:59
  players. And they brought in guys like
• 24:00
  Wade Boggs and Scott Brosius and Paul O'Neill and Tino Martinez.
• 24:04
  You cannot compare this Dodger team to those Yankees teams in
• 24:08
  the 90s. You can't.
• 24:10
  And anybody that does, you're wrong.
• 24:12
  And I don't want to hear it. And Jabba's sitting here today.
• 24:14
  He would agree with me today. But the fact is here, when you
• 24:21
  look at the Dodgers and you look at the Blue Jays, this is the
• 24:24
  battle of, and I'll say this, David and Goliath.
• 24:29
  Going into the series, the Dodgers were Goliath and the
• 24:35
  Blue Jays were David. And what did David had to do
• 24:39
  have to do to knock off the big man?
• 24:43
  The Goliath, 1 rock, hit him in the forehead, killed him with 1
• 24:53
  Pebble, one rock. And I believe that pedal, that
• 24:58
  Pebble right now for the Blue Jays is Vladimir Guerrero
• 25:03
  Junior. Vladimir Guerrero junior had to
• 25:07
  step up in game #4 after they fell down in, they fell down
• 25:12
  early in the game, one to nothing with Ohtani on the
• 25:16
  mound, who gave up no runs, no runs against the Brewers, the
• 25:23
  great Brewers, the best team in baseball going into the
• 25:26
  playoffs. Vladimir Guerrero had to step
• 25:30
  up. They didn't have Springer in the
• 25:33
  game. He's injured.
• 25:34
  Bichette, we don't. We don't know what Bichette was
• 25:36
  going to give you. Somebody needed to step up in
• 25:40
  this line up and it had to be their superstar.
• 25:45
  And when you watch all those pitches and the way Otani was
• 25:48
  pitching to him, when he saw that pitch and he pulled that
• 25:55
  ball and he hit a 420 feet and knocked it out of there, it was
• 26:01
  a sigh of relief. Because after that home run, you
• 26:05
  saw Vladimir Guerrero, when he was running or walking around
• 26:10
  from first to second, look to the dugout and said we are good.
• 26:18
  We are good in Spanish, we're good.
• 26:22
  When you see your superstar player go out there and put
• 26:27
  everything on his shoulders, that tells me if he believes,
• 26:33
  they're all going to believe and they're all going to follow.
• 26:35
  And that came from Shane Bieber. After that dominated.
• 26:40
  And and you you talk about the bullpens.
• 26:44
  The Dodgers, who spent a lot of money in the offseason, deferred
• 26:47
  money to their bullpen and they lost a guy right now that has
• 26:51
  family, family situation, one of their better bullpen arms.
• 26:55
  He's right now not with the team.
• 26:57
  They're wearing a number on their hats.
• 27:00
  We all know the story. That is not an excuse.
• 27:04
  This Dodger bullpen is one of the best in baseball.
• 27:07
  It's not even close. You add Sasaki to this bullpen,
• 27:10
  it's almost untouchable that I don't want to hear it from
• 27:13
  anybody. Any excuses to to why the
• 27:16
  Dodgers are tied two to two in this series?
• 27:20
  Here's the reason why the Blue Jays are not giving up.
• 27:24
  They're not saying die. They want to get this series
• 27:27
  back to Toronto because they know if they get it back to
• 27:30
  Toronto, it's anybody's ball game, anybody's series.
• 27:37
  And even if the Dodgers win tonight, we don't know.
• 27:40
  The Mariners were up 3 to 2 going back to Toronto for the
• 27:44
  last two games. Who won that series?
• 27:48
  Toronto did because Toronto believes that if they can take
• 27:52
  this series back home, nobody can beat them.
• 27:56
  And I'll say it again, Toronto is one of the hardest places to
• 28:00
  play, especially when you look at the fans and the Canadian
• 28:05
  fans behind them right now. They got a whole country behind
• 28:09
  them and I'm not even talking about Toronto.
• 28:12
  Canada is behind them right now. Last game was the most watched
• 28:18
  game in baseball since 2016. This series has been the most
• 28:25
  watched series. That's I'm, I'm talking about
• 28:29
  even last year with the Yankees, the New York Yankees.
• 28:33
  We're in the World Series last year against the Dodgers.
• 28:36
  And you would have thought the great Yankees and the great
• 28:40
  Dodgers, the old Brooklyn Dodgers, two teams, LA, New
• 28:45
  York, you would have thought that would be the most watched
• 28:48
  series we've ever seen. It wasn't The fact that Canada,
• 28:54
  Japan and the United States, the LA fans are watching it and it's
• 29:03
  it's absolutely been mind blowing when you look at the
• 29:06
  numbers right now. It's incredible.
• 29:09
  It is really incredible. That gives, I give a lot of
• 29:11
  credit to the Canadian fans because Canada is hockey.
• 29:17
  You think about it, the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing right
• 29:19
  now. They're they're, they are the
• 29:23
  biggest draw. They are the biggest draw.
• 29:26
  The Montreal Canadiens, who a lot of people think could be
• 29:28
  Stanley Cup contenders this year, they're a draw.
• 29:33
  And what are the fans doing right now?
• 29:35
  They're watching the Blue Jays. That says a lot about what the
• 29:41
  Blue Jays are doing right now for baseball, what they're doing
• 29:44
  for their country, what they're doing for baseball and the
• 29:48
  strike after next year. It it's it's incredible right
• 29:53
  now. And it has a lot to do with the
• 29:55
  the young superstar in Vladimir Guerrero.
• 29:57
  He's becoming even a bigger star than I ever thought he was going
• 30:02
  to be, and it's incredible. Speedy, absolutely incredible.
• 30:05
  Yeah. Before you 2 argue about Shoya
• 30:06
  Otani, I'm going to make 2 analogies, 1 cross sport and one
• 30:09
  to a another current superstar player for when he was a younger
• 30:13
  player. So like you were saying with the
• 30:15
  Canadian rallying around that kind of thing too, like because
• 30:17
  hockey is a national sport you don't really see OK this is the
• 30:19
  watch most Stanley Cup even if the Canadian team is in it or
• 30:22
  not because of that kind of thing.
• 30:23
  Vladimir Guerrero junior because he was born in Canada too.
• 30:26
  Obviously his dad played for the Expos.
• 30:28
  Lifting up the whole country the way it is and lifting up a
• 30:31
  particular region the way it is with that kind of post season
• 30:34
  spark is something that you don't really see.
• 30:37
  And the cross-border analogy I want to make is with their
• 30:39
  basketball team, the Toronto Raptors.
• 30:40
  It looked like a core that was falling apart.
• 30:42
  It was never winning in the playoffs.
• 30:44
  You mentioned the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays have been swept
• 30:47
  each of the previous 2 playoffs series, including blown leads of
• 30:51
  big proportions against the Seattle Mariners.
• 30:53
  And then they got swept by the Twins the next year after that.
• 30:56
  And it seemed like a core that I, I was never thinking was
• 30:59
  going to get to this point either because they were an old
• 31:01
  team. They have all old right-handed
• 31:03
  pitchers. They have all these scrappy
• 31:04
  pitters that came from utility guys from Cleveland, a couple
• 31:09
  rookies that somebody like Nathan Lucas, somebody like
• 31:11
  Barger that really emerged and a pitcher and Treya Savage that
• 31:15
  was in Class A when the season started.
• 31:18
  Crazy to think that kind of thing.
• 31:19
  So that's the analogy cross sport I want to make.
• 31:21
  And then Vladimir Guerrero, junior kind of reminds me of
• 31:23
  Bryce Harper with the Phillies. He was terrible in the post
• 31:26
  season. I think besides his last year
• 31:27
  with the Nationals up until that, he all the pressure was on
• 31:31
  him at that point and he was about to get this big contract
• 31:34
  too. Were the Nationals going to give
• 31:36
  it to him with Juan Soto on the rise and a core that was falling
• 31:39
  apart? It was a very similar type
• 31:40
  thing. He goes over there to the
• 31:42
  Phillies. First three years they missed
• 31:43
  the playoffs. They really underwhelming with a
• 31:45
  really good team. 2022 was a six seed arrow.
• 31:47
  You actually called it that year they went to the World Series
• 31:51
  and Bryce Harper was unbelievable.
• 31:53
  The next two years after that was unbelievable.
• 31:55
  This year he wasn't that good, but Vladimir Guerrero, junior in
• 31:58
  A and. That's why Bryce Harper might be
• 32:00
  traded. He might be let go by the
• 32:03
  Phillies because they don't want to pay him, and they might
• 32:05
  decide to go with Schwaber in the offseason.
• 32:07
  We'll see what happens. And Vladimir Guerrero, Junior, I
• 32:10
  think it has that similar level of leadership and that similar
• 32:12
  level of confidence with this Blue Jays team, a very new core.
• 32:15
  Outside of Bichette, there's also not a lot of homegrown guys
• 32:18
  on that team either. Springer coming over from the
• 32:20
  Astros, they're pitching staff is pretty much besides you.
• 32:22
  Savage is all guys from other teams, including a 2X Mets with
• 32:25
  Serzer and Bassett and that kind of thing.
• 32:28
  He rallied around that kind of thing.
• 32:29
  And he's doing it against really good pitching too.
• 32:31
  Like Seattle has really good deep starting pitching.
• 32:34
  He homered off of Max Free. You were talking about it last
• 32:36
  week with the Yankees. Like these are guys that are
• 32:39
  doing it. And he has seven home runs
• 32:40
  already this postseason. So it's it's crazy how much he's
• 32:43
  elevated it. I picked the Dodgers in six
• 32:45
  initially. But I agree with you.
• 32:46
  If it does go to seven games, Blue Jays are running.
• 32:51
  Yeah, look, it's real simple and I know we wanted to get our our
• 32:55
  take from our guests. So I'll just let them get set up
• 32:57
  with the microphone. But I got, I got a, a picture
• 33:00
  here. I wanted to show you that we had
• 33:02
  made real quick of what Errol described earlier of David and
• 33:08
  Goliath inside the state. Somebody's got to take a dump
• 33:11
  stadium. Might as well be me.
• 33:13
  I'm doing. It, you know, I saw a like
• 33:16
  Mythbusters one saying that if you took a rock and you did it
• 33:19
  like a slingshot, you can get it going almost as fast as a gun
• 33:23
  could kill somebody if it hit him right in the head.
• 33:25
  Even if it was a big guy like Goliath that went over like a
• 33:30
  fart in church. So, so all right, I'll stop
• 33:34
  right there. All right.
• 33:35
  Jack so I I want to, so I want to get Jack, I want to get Jack
• 33:39
  involved in this conversation because he came on the show
• 33:41
  because we've been back and forth about the.
• 33:44
  Fact Fight at the gym Pretty. Much we do and, and Jack,
• 33:47
  obviously he's an agent, he works with a lot of athletes and
• 33:51
  we. I don't really like to speak to
• 33:53
  people when I'm working out. I'm very quiet when it comes to
• 33:56
  working out. I don't want to be bothered.
• 33:58
  I work out with my uncle sometimes and he speaks too much
• 34:00
  and that might be 1 sentence and I'll be like, I'm working here.
• 34:04
  So I'm one of those guys that put on the headset and I don't
• 34:07
  want to be bothered. So Jack came up to me.
• 34:09
  He said hello to me and he says, oh man, that that old Tony man,
• 34:13
  greatest baseball player right now in the league, not even
• 34:16
  close. And I said, what are you?
• 34:19
  What are you like getting? Then he started driving to his
• 34:21
  jock strap. That's what I said.
• 34:23
  And he looked at me and he's like, I'm not driving to his
• 34:25
  jock strap. Jock strap.
• 34:26
  You could look at the numbers. The numbers would tell you.
• 34:29
  I'll say, OK, so. Then we go back and forth with
• 34:33
  the Aaron, Judge, Otani and everything.
• 34:35
  Wrote a story, by the way, on the Worldwide Sports Radio
• 34:38
  Network, and you should read it because it's very good.
• 34:40
  I wrote a story, but I want to. I want people to get to know you
• 34:45
  and I want I want people to know your take.
• 34:47
  All, all of my friends, by the way, they, they know how crazy I
• 34:51
  am about Ohtani and, and I'll tell you one of the reasons,
• 34:56
  besides his greatness and everything else.
• 34:59
  I mean, I take a look at him and he just seemed, I haven't had
• 35:04
  the good fortune to meet him yet, but he just seems like he's
• 35:09
  such a down to earth guy. Nothing.
• 35:12
  Nothing you know bothers him, and he just seems like you know.
• 35:18
  Well, hold on one second. Nothing bothers him.
• 35:20
  This guy gets away with murder. Wait a second.
• 35:23
  This guy gets away with murder. Wait a second.
• 35:25
  Nothing bothers him. Of course not.
• 35:28
  Baseball hides him. Yep, they all know because he's
• 35:30
  an international phenom. That's right.
• 35:33
  OK, OK, but what about the umpires behind the plate?
• 35:36
  Yeah, if you. I watch almost as many at bats
• 35:39
  of his as I can. OK.
• 35:43
  And the umpires are terrible regardless.
• 35:46
  The whole plate umpires are horrible.
• 35:48
  But they've, I mean, I think sometimes they take a little bit
• 35:51
  exception against him and calling, you know, but it was
• 35:55
  the other night, was it last night They called strike 2.
• 35:59
  They call both for strike two. It was 3 and one they called,
• 36:04
  they called it a strike and it was ball 4.
• 36:07
  So, So where we going here? Are you actually going?
• 36:11
  Are you really going to tell me that the umpires were screwing
• 36:15
  Shayo Otani? Is that what you're saying?
• 36:17
  No, I'm not. I'm not saying that.
• 36:18
  I'm just saying there's a lot of bad calls, but there's a lot of
• 36:21
  bad calls with all of the players too.
• 36:23
  But do I think that there's a little bit of a bias against
• 36:27
  them with the with the umpires? I have to.
• 36:30
  I think you're out of your mind. OK, Shayo Otani, there is bias.
• 36:34
  I first of all, as as a Yankee fit, as a Yankee fit, I think
• 36:40
  every every umpire, every referee in every sport is
• 36:43
  horrible. They all stink for the NFL.
• 36:46
  I'm watching all these different referees go around and call foul
• 36:49
  if the foul if the foul and you watch the replay, there is no
• 36:53
  foul. The fouls coming from when you
• 36:55
  bring up Shayo Itani and you say, well, you know, the the
• 36:59
  umpires are not really on his side.
• 37:01
  This and this not. Here's what I'm going to say
• 37:03
  about that. Shay Otani doesn't need the
• 37:05
  umpires. Remember, he's an international
• 37:08
  phenom. Japan is behind him.
• 37:10
  His jersey is the number one jersey in professional baseball
• 37:14
  being sold. The guy is making $70 million of
• 37:18
  deferred money. Oh, and by the way, has $100
• 37:20
  million of endorsements every single year with car
• 37:24
  dealerships, subway, sneaker deals.
• 37:27
  And I'm going to feel bad for this man.
• 37:29
  I'm not going to feel bad for nothing because right now in his
• 37:32
  career, he's batting 248 with 29 hits and eleven home runs, 24
• 37:37
  RBIs, 26 runs scored in 30 games.
• 37:41
  Now, when you look at those numbers, are they better than
• 37:44
  Babe Ruth's? Are they?
• 37:48
  You're talking about in the playoffs.
• 37:49
  Are they in the? Playoffs.
• 37:50
  Are they better than Babe Ruth's?
• 37:55
  You know. Probably not.
• 37:57
  I don't really know Babe Ruth. I know he had great numbers and
• 38:00
  everything. It's hard to compare eras also.
• 38:03
  Not one. Hold on, Hold on.
• 38:05
  You're right. And that's what makes it even
• 38:07
  more interesting because Babe Ruth held one of the heaviest
• 38:10
  bats in baseball history and was smacking home runs.
• 38:14
  Yeah, maybe the pitchers weren't as heavy and hard, but this man
• 38:19
  against the best pitchers in the world was hitting three run,
• 38:23
  three home runs in a game plenty of times in the playoffs.
• 38:26
  I think if I'm not mistaken, Babe Ruth had fifteen home runs.
• 38:30
  I I don't know their numbers. And more home runs than the
• 38:32
  teams had and, you know, during the season at the very
• 38:35
  beginning. My problem here when, when we're
• 38:37
  trying to compare Shayo Otani to let's say Aaron Judge, OK, And
• 38:42
  Aaron Judge did something that a lot of players don't do in the
• 38:46
  playoffs right now, it's it's amazing what Vladimir Guerrero
• 38:49
  is doing. He's hitting right now in the
• 38:52
  players 400. There you go.
• 38:54
  So it's 2 nothing right, is it? It seems like it it 212 nothing
• 38:58
  you guys can bring up the numbers back.
• 39:00
  To back home, runs off a Snell to start the game.
• 39:02
  The sneakers back-to-back. That's right.
• 39:04
  So it's it's 2 nothing. It doesn't matter.
• 39:07
  That's where that's what I think it is.
• 39:09
  And that's why I have producers, OK, they can give us the score.
• 39:12
  We don't even you have the game right in front of your face.
• 39:14
  There's no excuse. And I'm going to tell you this
• 39:16
  right now. If the Dodgers lose this game,
• 39:19
  the series is over. There is no way they're beating
• 39:22
  the Blue Jays two games in Toronto.
• 39:26
  It there's no way. And and the Blue Jays have the
• 39:29
  momentum, they feel it. They believe that they can beat
• 39:33
  this team. And to go back to Cheryl Tani
• 39:35
  and Aaron George, the comparison to them.
• 39:38
  And I remember Alex Rodriguez was on the Jimmy Fallon show and
• 39:41
  he was talking about how how much of a Unicorn and everybody
• 39:44
  uses this stupid Unicorn crap. As we all know, Porzingis, as
• 39:50
  Kevin Durant for years, was saying oh, Porzingis is a
• 39:53
  Unicorn. Don't forget your boy Travis
• 39:55
  Hunter. Travis Hunter calls himself a
• 39:58
  Unicorn when I call him a gremlin.
• 39:59
  All these guys and unicorns are like 2 dimensional type of
• 40:03
  players. They're just special, all right?
• 40:05
  Because we've never seen a Unicorn because they don't
• 40:07
  exist. So I guess that's the name
• 40:09
  they're going to use. Is a Unicorn.
• 40:12
  Aaron Judge doesn't need to be a Unicorn.
• 40:14
  He doesn't need to pitch. He doesn't need to be anything.
• 40:17
  Aaron Judge is a superhero. Why?
• 40:19
  He's doing it in the hardest place to do it, and that's New
• 40:21
  York, NY City. How many people succeed in New
• 40:26
  York? How many greats come to New York
• 40:28
  and fail to do it in New York? But you're saying that Shay
• 40:32
  Otani is the better player. You're saying Shay Otani is the
• 40:35
  best player right now in the league.
• 40:36
  Are you not? And why are you saying that?
• 40:38
  What makes you think Shay Otani is a better player?
• 40:41
  Because he the pitch is that, is that what that's everybody's
• 40:44
  taking? What are you basing it off of
• 40:46
  last night? Is that what you're?
• 40:47
  Doing no, I'm basing it off his career.
• 40:50
  Okay, I mean, what do they want? What do you want from Otani?
• 40:54
  I mean, the fact is you. Say guy can't stay healthy.
• 40:56
  Well, Tony, Tony can't say healthy how?
• 40:59
  Can he? How you how are you going to say
• 41:01
  that? Torn UCL he plays as a DH.
• 41:04
  He's not even when he is a DH Last year he was a DH.
• 41:08
  OK, yeah, he stole bases. Everybody says oh we've never
• 41:11
  seen a 5050 player. Great for him.
• 41:14
  That's great again this year stole it.
• 41:16
  That's fine. Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
• 41:17
  But they didn't. Aaron judge.
• 41:19
  He didn't run. Because he was pitching all
• 41:22
  right and they didn't want him to.
• 41:23
  Aaron Judge played with her, her toe last year and he still won
• 41:27
  an MVP, All right? He still won an MVP.
• 41:30
  And this year everybody says, could Aaron Judge match what he
• 41:34
  did last year or the year before?
• 41:36
  Oh, I'm sorry. He hit over 330 this year.
• 41:39
  At one point in the in the first two months of the season, it was
• 41:43
  hitting 400, hitting 4/20. OK, OK.
• 41:46
  So, OK, great. But.
• 41:48
  And he played with a torn UCL all season.
• 41:52
  OK, great. OK, great.
• 41:55
  Otani. Otani was ADH and he's a
• 41:58
  pitcher. He wouldn't even go on the mound
• 42:00
  with the torn UCL. He had to get surgery.
• 42:02
  Our judge didn't have surgery this or this season.
• 42:05
  He went out in the outfield in the playoffs because they needed
• 42:08
  John Carlos Stanton in, you know, and that was everybody's
• 42:11
  attack. That was a job, a champion's
• 42:13
  attack to me. You're seeming like you're not
• 42:15
  even acknowledging any of Otani's accomplishments.
• 42:17
  No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying Shay Otani's the
• 42:19
  second best player in the league and really this year he was the
• 42:22
  3rd best player because Gal Raleigh was the second best
• 42:25
  player in the league this year and that's my opinion.
• 42:28
  Cal Raleigh was a an all world defensive player playing a
• 42:31
  catching. Position So let me tell you yes,
• 42:33
  OK, SoCal Raleigh and I'm not saying oh Cal Raleigh didn't
• 42:35
  have an amazing year. Yeah, he did have an amazing he
• 42:38
  did. But you know The thing is so
• 42:42
  Otani didn't even really have a super hot streak.
• 42:44
  He had 55 home runs. He had 55 home runs and and and
• 42:49
  you're like, you know, So what? He's got eight home runs in the
• 42:52
  playoffs, OK. Oh, So what big deal?
• 42:55
  So he was on base nine times the other day.
• 42:57
  OK, well, So what big deal? He had three home runs in pitch
• 43:01
  10 struck out ten. OK, big deal.
• 43:04
  Whatever that those are not great performances or not the
• 43:07
  greatest ever. And and if they're going to
• 43:09
  start comparing Don Larson, OK, That's, you know, whatever.
• 43:14
  Who else in in? Well, Reggie Jackson and some of
• 43:19
  that, yeah, Reggie Jackson had, you know, that was an amazing
• 43:23
  feat in in 1977. But you know, it's like you
• 43:28
  expect the guy to go 20 for 20 in the World Series until
• 43:31
  somebody says, hey, this guy's amazing.
• 43:34
  What more with the other day when you said to me, Jack, he's
• 43:37
  betting 220, well, he goes 4 for four, reaches base 9 times and
• 43:40
  he's betting 280. So then you could come back to
• 43:42
  me and say, well, he's betting 280, His unbased percentage is
• 43:46
  his OPS is like 1300. He hasn't even been the best
• 43:49
  player in this series. Vladimir Carrero has been He
• 43:53
  hasn't even been the best player in this series.
• 43:56
  If you're a leader, if you're if you're a leader world.
• 43:59
  Series ends today. The Dodgers win.
• 44:00
  Who would win the World Series MVP?
• 44:03
  They're going to give it to Atani, but he hasn't been the
• 44:05
  best player. I'm on the Dodgers.
• 44:08
  He hasn't been the best player in this series.
• 44:10
  Who's been? Who's been Yamamamoto?
• 44:12
  Free Freeman hit that that 18th inning home run.
• 44:16
  He did it against the Yankees. Freeman.
• 44:18
  Hit the 18th inning home run. Yeah, but also to get them to
• 44:21
  that point, Otani tied it up on with a second home run in the
• 44:25
  seventh inning. That wasn't clutch.
• 44:27
  No, that wasn't clutch. My point you're going to tell me
• 44:30
  that wasn't my point here. That has nothing to do with
• 44:33
  clutch when it comes to it. You're your superstar player.
• 44:35
  You're making the most money in baseball.
• 44:38
  What do you mean it doesn't guarantee it guarantees it to me
• 44:41
  if you're the best player in baseball, you are quote UN quote
• 44:44
  the greatest of all time as I heard Michael Kay say it by the
• 44:48
  way, Michael Kay is a complete ass.
• 44:50
  He made an ass of himself, made a complete ass of himself
• 44:53
  because he brought that up and he said it.
• 44:55
  This guy is a Yankee guy and he's going out there and
• 44:58
  throwing Aaron Judge to the wolves and say, oh, Arshay Alton
• 45:02
  is the greatest ever. How about Babe Ruth?
• 45:04
  Michael Cay is a Yankee guy. How about Mickey Mantle?
• 45:07
  How about Yogi Berra? Who won how many rings?
• 45:09
  Listen, listen. Also, you know it's.
• 45:12
  So Michael Cay, that's what we're listening to that idiot.
• 45:15
  Listen, he is. I agree with you 1000%.
• 45:18
  But you know what? It's so hard to compare eras
• 45:22
  when you say, you know, Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse was the
• 45:25
  greatest of his era, you know, and so on and so forth.
• 45:27
  Of course he had, you know, Willie Mays and and some of
• 45:30
  those guys. But you know what?
• 45:32
  When you're comparing eras, it's so hard to compare eras.
• 45:35
  Just like these guys are not pitching complete games now.
• 45:38
  Why? It's ridiculous that these guys,
• 45:41
  these guys could pitch complete games they don't want them to.
• 45:45
  And the bullpens, you know, it's, it's ridiculous.
• 45:48
  These guys can't even get 40 saves.
• 45:50
  Because they throw 100 mph, you have I.
• 45:52
  Listen, I agree. I agree with that.
• 45:54
  I agree with that. So so you're going to tell me a
• 45:57
  great feat and I'm just saying Otani strikes out the side in
• 46:01
  the 1st and then comes up in the bottom of the first and hits a
• 46:04
  home run. That's, you know what, whatever.
• 46:07
  You know, I'm not saying Cheryl Johnny isn't a great player.
• 46:09
  That's not what I'm saying. It's the attacks that I hear.
• 46:13
  Jabba's on this show and I love Jabba and Jabba he has this love
• 46:16
  fetish for Cheryl Otani. Oh, proven and proven innocent
• 46:20
  till proven guilty, whatever. The hell you become.
• 46:23
  Accused and all this garbage that he comes out with telling
• 46:26
  me. Listen, I'll be honest with you
• 46:27
  and I know you're going to get on me.
• 46:29
  I don't even want to hear the the the stuff about about Otani
• 46:32
  and the gambling and. All why not?
• 46:34
  He should be playing baseball. Pete Rose.
• 46:37
  Pete Rose was caught and thrown out of baseball, never being
• 46:40
  invited again. This guy is dead.
• 46:42
  He's never going to see himself in the Hall of Fame again
• 46:46
  because but Sheryl taught him because he's an international
• 46:49
  phenom. He 02 weeks, nobody knows
• 46:53
  anything about it. 22 $1,000,000 Five accountants, 5 accountants
• 47:02
  they didn't know, $22 million he was gone.
• 47:04
  OK, he's making a. Come on guys, what am I born
• 47:08
  yesterday? You know what?
• 47:09
  So the guy's making a billion dollars a freaking year, OK.
• 47:13
  And his relationship with this guy, you know, I'm sure he knew
• 47:17
  what was going on, I would think.
• 47:19
  And he was like, whatever, he didn't care when all of this was
• 47:23
  going down. He still was hitting 400 the
• 47:25
  first month of last season. So you're going to tell me that
• 47:28
  that he was really worried about about stuff if he was guilty?
• 47:34
  I I, I tend to disagree when I said nothing bothers him.
• 47:38
  It's like, no, nothing. But why should it bother him?
• 47:40
  Everything he gets away with, Why should it bother me?
• 47:44
  Why should it bother anybody watching Cheryl, Tony, it, it
• 47:46
  bothers me. I, I had to correct myself when
• 47:49
  you see this guy walk up, he walks off the mound after the
• 47:52
  inning and he's shaking, making faces to his, you know, you
• 47:55
  know, all the guys on the you know, Tony and yeah, he's making
• 47:59
  all these weird faces, but I watch the game.
• 48:02
  I'm not blind. This guy, he makes a fool of
• 48:05
  himself. But you know what?
• 48:06
  It's Chair Otani, so who cares? I myself.
• 48:09
  Miss I has nothing to do with the Yankees.
• 48:11
  This has nothing to do with the Yankees.
• 48:12
  Nothing. Nothing.
• 48:14
  I could connect with the Yankees.
• 48:15
  I'm not going to right now. I just lost $17 million the
• 48:18
  other day in my in my couch cushions, just like Shohei
• 48:20
  Otani. You know it it just I just
• 48:22
  completely forgot about. They said it was even.
• 48:24
  More mind. They said it was even.
• 48:26
  More that that we know you know, but it's seven who knows I could
• 48:29
  just. Misplace that kind.
• 48:30
  Of money and not really it's gone.
• 48:32
  I mean, it's got to be nice if that's true, but I think it's
• 48:34
  kind of hard to believe that's true.
• 48:36
  Errol, despite all the things you're saying about Judge, I
• 48:39
  love Judge. Obviously.
• 48:40
  He's one of my favorite players have ever seen play the game of
• 48:43
  baseball show of times that two games this postseason in the
• 48:46
  last week that are considered the greatest of the greatest
• 48:50
  games anyone's ever had in the postseason.
• 48:52
  First off, the one we're not going to talk about anymore.
• 48:54
  We've already got three home runs, 10 strikeouts, but the one
• 48:56
  that he didn't game three, he went 442, double S2 home runs,
• 49:01
  ties the game up and then it goes into.
• 49:03
  Extra five times. They refuse to walk to even
• 49:06
  pitch to him the rest of the game.
• 49:09
  That's Barry Bonds treatment, you know that is and that's the
• 49:12
  kind of level. Stop that, Schneider thinks he
• 49:14
  is. Stop, stop, stop.
• 49:16
  Why else? Would you do it?
• 49:17
  Stop. Wait a second.
• 49:18
  Wait. You're going to.
• 49:18
  Say face is empty walk. You're going to say all this
• 49:20
  stuff about Barry Bonds? I don't even want to hear it.
• 49:23
  The guy's a cheater. And everything.
• 49:25
  And you're going to tell me that Shay Otani isn't a cheater?
• 49:27
  No. What?
• 49:28
  Really. What?
• 49:29
  Really what? What do you think he's doing
• 49:31
  right now? He's gotten away with two
• 49:33
  felonies 2. Why 2?
• 49:36
  Why is he cheating? Betting on sports that's
• 49:39
  cheating. OK, Yes, it does.
• 49:42
  It has a lot to do with it. You're betting on sports.
• 49:45
  You it's illegal. He's not.
• 49:47
  He's it is illegal, Jack. It's illegal.
• 49:50
  Don't know that for a fact. Just like to say how do you how
• 49:53
  do you not know it for a fact? It's $22 million missing out of
• 49:57
  your account. He just magically disappeared.
• 50:00
  Oh, his interpreter just said, hey, you know what?
• 50:02
  I'm just going to take this money.
• 50:04
  He's never going to see it. Come on, guys, this is
• 50:07
  ridiculous. And I don't care what he did in
• 50:09
  these two games. That doesn't make him the
• 50:11
  greatest baseball player of all time.
• 50:13
  Are you going to say about Barry Bonds?
• 50:16
  It's like, yeah, So what? Nobody was never caught with
• 50:19
  sterile. Or whatever.
• 50:20
  No, his freaking head blew up like a freaking beach ball.
• 50:24
  Oh, so, oh, so, so so we're going to go, we're going to go
• 50:27
  to steroids. And we've had many different
• 50:29
  people, statisticians on the show.
• 50:31
  So let's go, let's go to let's go to steroids.
• 50:35
  Let's go to steroids. Did Otani cheat on on?
• 50:38
  His physical ability? No.
• 50:41
  No. Are you going to tell me that?
• 50:43
  Did Barry Bonds cheat on his physical?
• 50:45
  Ability Do you know that Cheryl Tony's not doing anything 1000%
• 50:48
  Do you know for sure you are 100% sure Cheryl Tony's doing
• 50:52
  nothing 100% Well, you just you just came at me right now and
• 50:57
  you said, how do we know it's true?
• 50:59
  How do we know it's true that he knew about the money?
• 51:02
  So how the hell do you know that he's not doing something right
• 51:06
  now? You don't know.
• 51:08
  OK, but that's not do you that's.
• 51:10
  Not you don't know. That's that's not your defense.
• 51:13
  That that's that's your defense. No, my defense is if you would
• 51:17
  ask me right, if you would ask me right now, if you were to ask
• 51:21
  me right now between Aaron Judge and Shayu Atani, the Atlas, as I
• 51:25
  said in my article. Aaron Judge is not doing
• 51:28
  steroids. We don't.
• 51:30
  We don't. We don't.
• 51:31
  But I'm going to tell you this. I'm going to tell you this.
• 51:33
  Do you see Aaron Judge walking off, you know, walking out to,
• 51:37
  you know, his his dugout, making faces, going out there and
• 51:41
  throwing his teammates under the bus or what do you mean?
• 51:44
  Throwing his teammates on. He's he's done it before.
• 51:46
  He's done it before, not, not in bad ways.
• 51:48
  He says, listen, we, we, there are games.
• 51:51
  There were games this year that he said, you listen, I pitched a
• 51:53
  good game, you know, but you know, we couldn't, we couldn't
• 51:56
  do it. No, Yeah, yeah, they.
• 51:57
  Take responsibility for it. I didn't play well.
• 52:00
  They couldn't. I didn't play well.
• 52:01
  OK, Otani, listen, Otani didn't have his greatest pitching
• 52:06
  performance. It wasn't horrendous.
• 52:08
  He hung a curveball to to Vladimir Guerrero.
• 52:11
  Good for Guerrero, he hit a two run Homer great.
• 52:14
  He left after after six innings. He pitched 6 innings, went out
• 52:18
  for the 7th, got 2 runners on. You know those those two runners
• 52:21
  were going to score. So let let's let's let's go back
• 52:24
  to this because I don't. Want to go?
• 52:26
  No, no, no, no, because no, I'm not talking about Barry.
• 52:29
  I'm talking about Aaron Judge, who is hitting 500 again, even
• 52:32
  500 against this Blue Jays team. Is Cheryl Tony hitting 500?
• 52:37
  Is Cheryl Tony hitting 500 against his Blue Jays?
• 52:40
  He's hitting 400. Is he hitting 500?
• 52:43
  Is he hitting 500? And he's not hitting 400 in this
• 52:47
  series because he was oh for three in the last game.
• 52:49
  OK, but he was 4 for four in the other?
• 52:52
  Game he's not hitting 400, he's hitting 248 in his career.
• 52:55
  Pull it up, Yeah. Pull it up, speedy.
• 52:57
  I don't I'm how am I going to pull it up?
• 52:59
  I'm hosting a show. How the hell am I going to do
• 53:02
  that? I have two Purdue.
• 53:04
  I have three guys that could be looking up his numbers right now
• 53:07
  in the. Playoffs.
• 53:08
  OK, so so the fact is, So what are you saying with Barry Bonds?
• 53:13
  Barry Bonds is the best of all time.
• 53:15
  I think Barry Bonds is the greatest in the last 30 years
• 53:18
  and not even, not even close. Not even close.
• 53:22
  Not even close. Not it's untouchable when I saw
• 53:25
  Barry, but I don't care if he did steroids, I don't know.
• 53:28
  Because they no, because they all cheat.
• 53:31
  They all cheat. They all do amphetamines.
• 53:34
  So what are you telling me? Forget about amphetamine.
• 53:37
  What do you mean forget about it makes you concentrate.
• 53:39
  You have a better chance of hitting the ball with
• 53:40
  amphetamines than with steroids. Steroids don't make you see the
• 53:44
  ball better, does it? I have no idea.
• 53:46
  It doesn't. I've had, I've had guys that
• 53:48
  have played in the Major League that told me steroids should
• 53:50
  have been allowed a long time ago.
• 53:52
  Bud Selig allowed it to happen. He allowed it to happen because
• 53:56
  the strike was in 19. What is his numbers, Jim Fish?
• 53:58
  We can't see it. What is his number?
• 54:00
  Because you have his numbers. Yes or no?
• 54:02
  You're so damn slow. With Jared, Jared got it. 414 on
• 54:06
  base percentage. 1.182 OPS in this series.
• 54:09
  What is it? What is his batting average?
• 54:11
  He, he's doing really well. Errol, obviously, you know he's.
• 54:16
  Is he hitting 500 for? Four games, Jared said.
• 54:19
  His fighting average is 268 in the postseason this year.
• 54:21
  Yeah, OK, well, that's the postseason, but we're talking
• 54:24
  about the World Series. He's got six hits, so it's six
• 54:26
  hits and 21 at bats. It's going to be like 3350 or
• 54:30
  something. That's not great.
• 54:31
  No in. The World 350 is great, Errol
• 54:33
  350 is not great would be. Better.
• 54:35
  You're the greatest reason you're the greatest player of
• 54:39
  all time. Pretending like 350 is not
• 54:41
  great. Fish, I'm talking to Jack,
• 54:43
  please. I asked your question.
• 54:44
  I asked you a question. Let let me finish with Jack.
• 54:47
  No, I, I I'm done with this. 350 is not 500 and that's what I'm
• 54:51
  going to say. Did he say Blue Jays team?
• 54:52
  Did he hit any home runs? What are you in in the in the
• 54:54
  player, Aaron Judge? Yeah, you did.
• 54:56
  He had a three. One shot was a rocket right off
• 54:59
  the pole. What is it?
• 55:00
  What do you, you know, whoever's listening out there, look at the
• 55:03
  protection. Look at the protection that this
• 55:06
  guy has in the lineup. He's got 2 MVP's in the lineup
• 55:10
  protecting him. You got Friedman and you have
• 55:13
  Mookie Betts. You're going to tell me right
• 55:16
  now, Aaron Judge, who's protecting that man, Ballinger?
• 55:20
  But was he hitting? Why was he hitting in the
• 55:23
  playoffs? He was still, was he hitting
• 55:25
  188? Who was hitting besides our
• 55:28
  Judge? Nobody was protecting him and
• 55:30
  the man was still hitting 500. You know that when you talk, I
• 55:33
  guess this same Blue Jays team. What?
• 55:34
  You say it doesn't, It doesn't. It doesn't matter, right?
• 55:37
  What do you mean it doesn't matter?
• 55:39
  What do you mean? Because you're, you're, you're
• 55:41
  justifying everything. I'm not justifying anything.
• 55:44
  I'm comparing Aaron Judge to share with Tony.
• 55:46
  OK, well. Well, guess who's not playing in
• 55:48
  the world? Series, you're right, because
• 55:50
  you know, the Yankees don't go in their pockets and and decide
• 55:53
  to, hey, you know what, I'm going to defer every single
• 55:55
  player I bring in. Magic Johnson asked, because he
• 55:58
  probably came up with the idea. What to defer it?
• 56:01
  Yeah, I think that was a smart idea.
• 56:03
  Of course you do well. Well, what?
• 56:05
  You don't think so? I don't.
• 56:07
  No, I I wouldn't like it. I didn't like the shifting.
• 56:10
  I didn't like, I didn't like any of these stupid rules.
• 56:13
  I don't like the big bases. As Alex Rodriguez came out that
• 56:16
  oh, Manford is one of the smartest guys.
• 56:20
  Alex Hall of Famer Alex, If you want to kiss somebody's ass, you
• 56:23
  might as well kiss the guy that's running the league.
• 56:26
  Honestly, Manfred, it's, it's amazing.
• 56:28
  He's he's horrible. Don't go ask Alex to Hall of
• 56:32
  Famer. They think he's a Hall of Famer.
• 56:34
  That guy thinks he's uncomfortable.
• 56:36
  All these baits, these bases, what they're doing right now for
• 56:40
  baseball, it's just absolutely amazing, I think.
• 56:42
  For the for the next next game, I think that that in extra
• 56:45
  innings, they should just start off with loading the bases and
• 56:48
  put them in a softball. Put a softball in there and and
• 56:51
  have A1 nothing game or one one game turn into like a 12 to 11
• 56:55
  game because the runner on 2nd and that's another for another
• 56:59
  time. But some of these rules also, I
• 57:02
  don't like the the three batter rule.
• 57:04
  It's ridiculous. You're talking about its
• 57:06
  strategy. The guy comes in with a runner
• 57:09
  on 1st or or whatever it is. He can't find the plate tie
• 57:12
  game. You're going to force the guy,
• 57:15
  you know, you're going to keep them in.
• 57:17
  And then the other thing is what they were talking about, because
• 57:20
  they were all all, you know, had had their heads and knots the
• 57:25
  other night that that when they walked Otani four straight
• 57:28
  times, it's like, well, you know what?
• 57:32
  They did the smart thing. If if you're the greatest player
• 57:36
  on the planet, whatever it is, OK.
• 57:38
  Are you going to pitch to him? He just beat you 4 times in the
• 57:42
  game. So do you think all of the all
• 57:45
  of that stuff about intentional walks and after two times a
• 57:49
  walk, they should put a runner on it?
• 57:50
  That's ridiculous. That's the most ridiculous thing
• 57:52
  in the world. By the way, we're here in the
• 57:54
  studios of the Worldwide Sports Radio Network with a special
• 57:58
  sports agent. I see Special because he's
• 58:00
  definitely special. Special sports agent Jack Burke
• 58:03
  work. He's joining us.
• 58:04
  My blood. Pressure went up about 30.
• 58:06
  Points well what else is new you know when you hang out with me
• 58:08
  your your blood pressure is going to shoot it might be
• 58:10
  coming the blood might be coming out of your ass by the end of
• 58:12
  the show I. Know my daughter's listening and
• 58:15
  she's probably cracking up. Well, somebody's got to be
• 58:17
  laughing and cracking up. Somebody's got to do it.
• 58:20
  And I'm the one I'm the one wearing the moccasins right now
• 58:22
  on the show. So I, I will, I will say this, I
• 58:26
  and everybody that coming, I'm reading what people are saying
• 58:29
  on YouTube and saying, well, if you don't think Shay Ohtani is
• 58:31
  this and you don't think Shay Ohtani is that.
• 58:33
  Have you guys you've been getting some?
• 58:34
  Feedback. Oh yeah, I'm reading, I'm
• 58:36
  reading everything. Shout out to Kev.
• 58:39
  Shout out to me I. Probably didn't mention. 50
• 58:41
  fives. I'm, I'm, I'm reading all the
• 58:43
  things that everybody is saying. I am not saying Shay Ohtani
• 58:46
  isn't a top three player in baseball.
• 58:49
  I never said that. But to come out here and say
• 58:53
  he's the greatest baseball player of all time when he isn't
• 58:57
  the best player in the league right now.
• 59:00
  He's not. He's not.
• 59:02
  If you look at our judges numbers this year, they're
• 59:06
  unbelievable. This could go down as one of the
• 59:08
  greatest seasons a baseball players ever had.
• 59:11
  By who? By a player.
• 59:12
  By Aaron Judge you mean? Aaron Judge's numbers is one of
• 59:15
  the greatest seasons a baseball player has ever had in history.
• 59:19
  Better than Barry Bonds is best season.
• 59:22
  If you look at Barry Bonds is best season you compare it to
• 59:26
  the I believe the greatest player in 30 years that we've
• 59:30
  seen is Barry Bonds. I I don't think that's even an
• 59:32
  argument this season. What Aaron Judge had was Barry
• 59:36
  Bonds esque. Barry Bonds esque And what about
• 59:40
  And what about Altani? It was great season.
• 59:42
  It's just not Barry Bonds and. And last year, oh, Tommy it.
• 59:45
  Was great season, but he's ADH. He's a bona fide DH to a guy
• 59:49
  that plays in the outfield who played at center field last year
• 59:52
  and didn't have an error until the World Series.
• 59:55
  Who? Aaron Judge Aaron Judge didn't
• 59:57
  have one error until the World Series.
• 59:59
  You know we're going to go in that.
• 1:00:00
  Direction. Now let's do it.
• 1:00:01
  Shoot it. Shoot from the hit, baby.
• 1:00:04
  I'm waiting for it. Shoot for it.
• 1:00:06
  You know, I, I mean. We're we're about to talk about
• 1:00:10
  something else in basketball, so I might as well shoot a couple
• 1:00:13
  of threes 80 feet because Carl Anthony Towns can't hit him.
• 1:00:16
  You know, I mean, oh, Tony, so he goes 5050, he bats 310, has
• 1:00:22
  130 RBI's. That's that, you know.
• 1:00:25
  I'm not saying you show Tony isn't great.
• 1:00:27
  You know. I'm not saying, but you're
• 1:00:29
  comparing he's a cheater. Here's here's what I'm going to
• 1:00:32
  say. If you were to ask me right now
• 1:00:33
  who the National League MVP is, it's Kyle Schwarber.
• 1:00:37
  All right, you're out of your mind.
• 1:00:38
  Really. Yeah, Speedy, pull up his
• 1:00:40
  numbers. I know he hit 5550.
• 1:00:43
  Six home runs and Arrow Schwarber's ADH Yeah, that's
• 1:00:45
  like, it kind of hurts your. Argument on it, honestly.
• 1:00:48
  That's what Shay Otani is when he's not on the mount.
• 1:00:50
  But but like his numbers are better than Schwarber.
• 1:00:52
  'S I think. He's ADH as well, so it's got.
• 1:00:55
  Kyle Schwarber is in a good lineup.
• 1:00:57
  He's not in a Dodger lineup. Tony was pitching.
• 1:00:59
  He's not in a Dodger line. Tony was pitching.
• 1:01:02
  If was playing in Yankee Stadium, he'd have 85 home runs,
• 1:01:06
  Donnie. Really.
• 1:01:06
  Yeah. Yeah, really.
• 1:01:08
  I don't know about that, but I'll tell you.
• 1:01:11
  I'll tell you a couple of stats before before we wrap.
• 1:01:14
  Wrap this guy up. You got the 50. 50 you
• 1:01:17
  mentioned. Jack.
• 1:01:18
  We're not going to wrap 5050. No, no, we're not wrapping you
• 1:01:21
  What I'm saying for for this, this one little thing, diarrhea
• 1:01:23
  down their leg and 5050 Errol, you said that it's not as
• 1:01:27
  impressive as Judge playing with the torn UCL, the thumb torn
• 1:01:31
  UCL, not the elbow torn UCL. There's 2 ends of it, right Fit.
• 1:01:35
  There's a lot of guys who've had that and played through the
• 1:01:37
  season. But obviously he couldn't throw.
• 1:01:39
  He had to sit. His arm strength never came back
• 1:01:41
  fully right Otani about that 5050 season while he was
• 1:01:47
  rehabbing Tommy John surgery. Why don't you get on your hands
• 1:01:49
  and knees and suck them off, Errol?
• 1:01:51
  That's all you're doing. That's all you're doing.
• 1:01:53
  Response. You're such.
• 1:01:54
  That's all you're doing. Meanwhile, you're the one last
• 1:01:57
  year that said by far Aaron George is a better player than
• 1:02:00
  Jay Otani. You said it.
• 1:02:01
  Now you're going to go back to what you were saying, not him.
• 1:02:03
  I'm not idiot right there one that is.
• 1:02:06
  Comparing the two of them as who's better than who, I'm just
• 1:02:08
  telling you right now. Maybe you should read my.
• 1:02:10
  That it wasn't a pressure because of the elbow thing.
• 1:02:13
  But Otani went 5050 rehabbing the Tommy John surgery.
• 1:02:17
  Congratulations as a DA, through it as a DA, and when and.
• 1:02:20
  You know what? Anyone 5050 No one's ever done
• 1:02:22
  it. Congratulations, stealing bases
• 1:02:25
  so difficult. So difficult.
• 1:02:27
  You know what? Nobody.
• 1:02:28
  So difficult, you know, that's that's.
• 1:02:31
  So good, everyone else would do it.
• 1:02:32
  That's right. Listen, if I get it all runs,
• 1:02:35
  I'd do it. I'm going to steal from Jabba
• 1:02:37
  Chamberlain whenever that ever happens.
• 1:02:39
  I I've already can't. Wait for that, we are definitely
• 1:02:42
  filming that soon as it gets warm out again after the sea.
• 1:02:44
  I've already said that I'm going to do it and I'm going to do it.
• 1:02:48
  And by the way, Nick? Jack, do you think that Errol
• 1:02:50
  can steal a base off of Jabba Chamberlain?
• 1:02:52
  I don't think he can. Steal a base if he was in a car.
• 1:02:55
  OK, OK, OK. Then.
• 1:02:58
  Jack just doesn't know me. Jack doesn't know me.
• 1:03:02
  And and that's fine. That's great.
• 1:03:03
  Guess what, I was a track and field phenom and I stole bases
• 1:03:09
  and and by the way, he's got a pitch to a player and he's got
• 1:03:14
  he's got to get a catcher and they got to throw me out.
• 1:03:16
  There is no there. They got to.
• 1:03:18
  Swing How? What is this relevance to?
• 1:03:21
  Well, we made a bet 55 chances that I've already said that I
• 1:03:25
  could steal a base from out of five chances.
• 1:03:26
  I know I can. You can steal one out of five.
• 1:03:28
  I'll steal more than that. I'll steal more than that.
• 1:03:32
  I've already said that I'm. OK, we know you're faster.
• 1:03:34
  Than I could do more than one but he said the bet is 1.
• 1:03:38
  Wait, wait, wait. We know he's faster than
• 1:03:39
  Alejandro Kirk. We know that.
• 1:03:41
  OK, So just give it to him. I'm a lot faster than a lot of
• 1:03:44
  people. You know, I'm a lot faster than
• 1:03:45
  a lot of people. My speed and and and by the way,
• 1:03:49
  I'm even in better shape than remember, I'm in a lot better
• 1:03:52
  shape than I was being. I was always in good shape, but
• 1:03:56
  now I've I've went down 35 lbs. Now I'm even even faster.
• 1:04:00
  I'm doing I'm doing treadmill work.
• 1:04:02
  You kidding me? I'm absolutely going to steal
• 1:04:04
  against it is. This your fighting weight, or
• 1:04:06
  were you a little heavier when you fall?
• 1:04:07
  Oh, I was 170. I was a lot.
• 1:04:09
  Lighter. So you were.
• 1:04:10
  Light I was 170 and I fought at one point, at 178 two so.
• 1:04:16
  Freddie Freeman stinks. He's only back in 294 so.
• 1:04:20
  Freddie Freeman, who was The Who was the MVP of the.
• 1:04:23
  World. That's one of the notes I have
• 1:04:25
  here, too. Freddie Freeman, Just one of the
• 1:04:27
  most clutch guys ever. He's getting to that
• 1:04:30
  conversation that he may be in the Hall of Fame.
• 1:04:32
  Freddie. Framing he's getting.
• 1:04:33
  There he's a. Lock.
• 1:04:35
  He's a look. He doesn't have 2000 hits yet.
• 1:04:38
  He's not there yet. He's you got to realize that
• 1:04:40
  there are. Different game now.
• 1:04:41
  Statistical benchmarks. Different.
• 1:04:43
  Got a hit different game now. True.
• 1:04:45
  I think I would put him in. I'm just saying he's.
• 1:04:48
  Definitely going in. Are you kidding?
• 1:04:49
  They love. Him So then do you think he's
• 1:04:51
  how long will he have to wait? Probably not long with the game
• 1:04:56
  different. Everything is different.
• 1:04:58
  The rules are different now. Five years, I think it'll be 5-6
• 1:05:01
  years. I think he's.
• 1:05:02
  Not going to have 500 home runs. He's not going to have 2500 hits
• 1:05:06
  second ballot. Hall of Famer, maybe second
• 1:05:08
  ballot Hall of Famer. That's where I think he is
• 1:05:11
  speaking. You can't, you can't even wait a
• 1:05:12
  second. You can't even go into like with
• 1:05:14
  the Hall of Famers and stuff like that because it's, it's so
• 1:05:17
  messed up. You put a guy and, and I know
• 1:05:21
  him a little bit. I like him.
• 1:05:22
  He's a good guy. Scott Rowland, you know, put
• 1:05:25
  really, I mean, you know, we're talking about on, on the
• 1:05:28
  committee. Andy Pettit should be in the
• 1:05:29
  Hall of Fame. A lot of people didn't think
• 1:05:32
  Mike Misita deserved it, but I did.
• 1:05:33
  I don't. I did.
• 1:05:35
  I thought he did. I think he did enough.
• 1:05:38
  Harold Baines is in the Hall of Fame.
• 1:05:40
  And Bill Mazeroski, that's because of Tony Larussa.
• 1:05:43
  And I wanted to ask him that question when I saw him at the
• 1:05:45
  event. But I know I was told by his
• 1:05:48
  agent, Bill Mazeroski, no, that Harold Baines, because when he
• 1:05:52
  was working for the major leagues and he was one of the
• 1:05:54
  guys that were voting him in. Very nice guy, but he is far
• 1:05:57
  from a hall of. Famer Who?
• 1:05:58
  Tony Larussa. No.
• 1:05:59
  No, not Harold Baines is not a Hall of Fame.
• 1:06:01
  No, but he played long time. He longevity is unbelievable,
• 1:06:06
  but to say that he's a Hall of Famer is ridiculous.
• 1:06:08
  Why? Because he had, I think he had
• 1:06:10
  at 1.3000 hits. No, no, he never.
• 1:06:12
  What did he have for Speedy? Go go look at that.
• 1:06:14
  How long is this going to take Speedy to find out?
• 1:06:16
  Arrow Bains his numbers ready. Let's clock it because it takes
• 1:06:19
  him forever to look up numbers. Ever.
• 1:06:22
  This guy is 2679. What?
• 1:06:25
  2679. No, I'm just kidding.
• 1:06:27
  Speedy, you got it yet? No.
• 1:06:29
  Who else? How about you Scoops?
• 1:06:31
  You have him because I I think one second hundred. 66 what?
• 1:06:35
  2866? You weren't far behind, OK. 2816
• 1:06:38
  what? What is his numbers?
• 1:06:39
  His career numbers. What he bat?
• 1:06:40
  289 Batting average with 384 home runs 16.
• 1:06:44
  But he didn't stand out. That's that's, that's the whole
• 1:06:47
  thing. He was fine.
• 1:06:49
  He was a good player, right? That's what he was.
• 1:06:51
  He was a good player. Listen.
• 1:06:53
  But. Good players like Bernie
• 1:06:54
  Williams don't go on the Hall of Fame, right?
• 1:06:57
  Good players like Paul O'Neill don't.
• 1:06:58
  I just think those guys should are just as valuable.
• 1:07:01
  Just like the Yankees, they're going to put, they're going to
• 1:07:03
  give Paul O'Neill a statue in in center field.
• 1:07:06
  It's like, are you kidding me or what?
• 1:07:08
  Really. He played five years and he gets
• 1:07:10
  a statue. Well, when he.
• 1:07:12
  Slammed his head. The Warrior.
• 1:07:14
  They called him the Warrior. After after he made an out, he
• 1:07:17
  slams his head down. That's a great.
• 1:07:19
  He was there for eight years, let's be fair, and he kicked
• 1:07:23
  1,000,000 water coolers and destroyed.
• 1:07:26
  I loved him as a kid. I was a kid back.
• 1:07:28
  Then an idiot out of yourself with that, what are you kidding?
• 1:07:30
  Me that that probably explains a lot about me.
• 1:07:34
  It's like so it. Explains a lot of bit about
• 1:07:36
  everybody on this show, so you know.
• 1:07:38
  Complete morons. So Dad, if I strike out, if I
• 1:07:41
  strike out, I'm going to go and knock over the water cooler in
• 1:07:43
  my Little League game. Paul O'Neill does it, you know,
• 1:07:46
  but you know, whatever. But you know, The thing is, it's
• 1:07:50
  like it's, it's, you know, comparing and everything you're
• 1:07:56
  going to wind up comparing forever and ever.
• 1:07:58
  And it's not going to make any sense because in different
• 1:08:02
  areas, first of all, in the major leagues, the standards
• 1:08:04
  have been lower. So you can say whatever you
• 1:08:06
  want. OK, Show a Otani batted
• 1:08:08
  280-2282, whatever he did. There's only two guys who batted
• 1:08:12
  over 300 in in the National League.
• 1:08:15
  Every standards come down. And considering the way he hit,
• 1:08:19
  I mean, he batted 282, which should be like, you don't think
• 1:08:23
  that's impressive? I didn't say wasn't impressive.
• 1:08:25
  Why does everybody think I can't stand Otani?
• 1:08:28
  Because I'm tired of hearing about Judge, Because Judge is a
• 1:08:31
  better player. That's all I'm saying.
• 1:08:33
  I said this and I want to get into the next situation, but I
• 1:08:37
  said this, if you were to pick a player, if you were AGM of an
• 1:08:41
  organization, I would pick up time.
• 1:08:43
  I I disagree. I'm taking I'm taking the best
• 1:08:45
  overall player. I'm not saying that that that
• 1:08:48
  that would be a bad, not a good. If you would have asked me right
• 1:08:51
  now who I would take out of all the players in the league to
• 1:08:54
  build my team start off, I'm taking Aaron Judge consistency.
• 1:08:58
  Are they not saying leadership, everybody?
• 1:09:01
  At one point was the best pitcher in baseball, they said.
• 1:09:06
  Shay Ohtani was the best pitcher in baseball.
• 1:09:08
  When? When?
• 1:09:10
  John Smalls would say that all the time on.
• 1:09:12
  When Shay Ohtani was not the best pitcher in baseball ever,
• 1:09:15
  at any point. He didn't pitch.
• 1:09:17
  At any point, at any point, he wasn't the best pitch in
• 1:09:21
  baseball, but never. But but he he has the stuff for.
• 1:09:25
  It I didn't say that, but he's never been the best pitcher in
• 1:09:28
  baseball and the best. Hit.
• 1:09:29
  You know what when you start. Coming Babe Ruth was Babe Ruth
• 1:09:34
  was the best pitcher in baseball and the best hitter in baseball.
• 1:09:37
  He was. He was.
• 1:09:39
  You know how? Bad.
• 1:09:40
  I'm just saying he was, you know how bad the major leagues was
• 1:09:43
  back in 19? He was.
• 1:09:45
  That doesn't matter. He was, you know what?
• 1:09:47
  He was getting drunk, coming in all right, smoking and doing
• 1:09:51
  rainy afternoon. That's what I love about Babe.
• 1:09:54
  No, listen, I'm not saying why we call him the Babe.
• 1:09:56
  Listen. He probably was the greatest
• 1:09:59
  because he was the innovator and everything else with baseball
• 1:10:02
  and he was amazing and everything else.
• 1:10:04
  He was the big drawing card. He liked to play with himself.
• 1:10:07
  You know, everything. Yes, all of it.
• 1:10:10
  He tastes himself. Yeah, well, he definitely tastes
• 1:10:13
  himself, including Speedy. Speedy likes to taste himself.
• 1:10:15
  Speedy, you like to taste yourself.
• 1:10:17
  What, not a cannibal? You know what, Babe?
• 1:10:23
  Babe Ruth didn't do a lot of, though, all right?
• 1:10:25
  He didn't strike. He didn't strike out a lot.
• 1:10:27
  You know what the Yankees do a lot of, and the Blue Jays don't
• 1:10:30
  do a lot of strike out. I think that's the big
• 1:10:32
  difference, right? Blue Jays are a team.
• 1:10:34
  That's we. Get off a baby in good pitching.
• 1:10:35
  I mean, we've, we've gone almost an hour and 20.
• 1:10:38
  Minutes you didn't let me get this take out this is a big one
• 1:10:41
  spit it outlook. This is this is exactly what's
• 1:10:45
  what the problem is with the Yankees.
• 1:10:47
  You want to Jack was saying how he can connect to the Yankees.
• 1:10:49
  This is how the Blue Jays are successful against really good
• 1:10:52
  pitching right now, for the simple reason is that they hit
• 1:10:55
  the contact. The Yankees built their roster,
• 1:10:58
  have the big power, but there's a lot of strikeout guys.
• 1:11:01
  If you don't get on base in the playoffs, you're doomed, and
• 1:11:05
  you're seeing it right now. This Blue Jays team is built for
• 1:11:08
  the playoffs, built for October, whereas the Yankees clearly were
• 1:11:12
  not outside a judge. Like you said, Errol hit 500,
• 1:11:16
  had the power, had the clutch three run, home run on an
• 1:11:19
  impossible pitch up and in good pitching that nobody should have
• 1:11:22
  ever been able to do. Great pitching beats great
• 1:11:24
  hitting any day of the week. We know.
• 1:11:26
  True, but great. Great contact hitting gets the
• 1:11:29
  ball on, great pitching. If that was the case, the
• 1:11:31
  Yankees should have beaten the Blue Jays.
• 1:11:34
  The Yankees should have. What do you mean the Yankees
• 1:11:36
  strike out a ton? He said good pitching beats good
• 1:11:38
  hitting and I said if that's the case, the Yankees should have
• 1:11:42
  beaten the Blue Jays. That's all I'm going to say
• 1:11:44
  about that. Thank you to all the fans on all
• 1:11:46
  the social medias. Thank you to the Spotify fans,
• 1:11:49

  By the way, I've got three stories up right now, one about
• 1:12:05
  Patrick Mahomes, one about the betting and one on Aaron Judge
• 1:12:08
  comparison to Otani. It is sensational.

  Speedy, loved it. Speedy, you loved it.
