• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a rough patch for the outfielder from many different teams,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the Astros, the Cubs over the years. Also, what's your
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: first impression on reports that the Yankees will not even
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: make a qualifying offer to Jazz Chisholm.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Talk about that?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And how are you going to remember the life of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: former major league pitcher Tommy John who died over the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: weekend at age eighty three, and the great injustice about
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Tommy John's career in Major League Baseball one of the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: great blemish blemishes on his life from the baseball community.

• 2:41
  Speaker 1: mam Man. We go to Los Angeles Major League Baseball.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: The crew did it. I'm shocked. We have not had
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: one call from Milwaukee or Madison or Appleton or anywhere
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in between. Nobody has called in do a victory lap
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: from the state of Wisconsin. But there they were the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: brew crew led by somebody named Logan Henderson, who dazzle
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: allowed one run in seven innings of work. Somebody named
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Jake Bowers, we don't know who that is, and he
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: had four hits and a couple of runs batted in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: who and the Brewers beat up the Dodgers, the once
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: proud Dodgers six to two in a game played a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: matinee there Sunday afternoon matchup. So that means now, my computer,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: like brand, tells me the baseball team from Wisconsin played
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: four games in LA and they won three of the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: four games in Los Angeles, and now they really they've
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: controlled they've locked in to the top record in Major
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, and they've delivered a body blow, body blow,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: body blow to the Dodgers in the race for the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: National League's top record and also all of Major League Baseball.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So at this.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Point, the road to the World Series goes through Milwaukee. Now,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we had a moment in time, a moment in time
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in this game that everyone's yapping about. It was a
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: turning point in the game. It happened late in the game.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I think it was the eighth inning. So Kyle Tucker
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: with a T Tucker. All right, Kyle Tucker was greeted
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: by boo boo, boo boo birds, boo Berts at Dodger Stadium.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Why did the hometown bleeding heart Dodger fans boo boo
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker. Well, it turns out that Kyle was attempting
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to catch a very catchable fly ball out near the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: bullpen and the wall out there in right field, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it was on the warning track that it was right
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: there in position to make the catch. And whoop, whoopsie, Yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: he failed to catch the ball, went off, his glove,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: failed to make the play, and the Brewers ended up
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of that, and so the fans were all
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: over all over Kyle Tucker. Now most of the people
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: already left because the Dodgers are pathetic at this point,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: so they were taken off.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: So out of you saw or not, maybe you didn't
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: see it and didn't hear about it. Who knows. Kyle
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Tucker booed the booze camp.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Coming one day after Dave Roberts, who always likes him
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in that spot, Good old Dave Roberts, the great cheerleader
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: who benched Tucker. I shouldn't say Dave Roberts did it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Somebody from management said, oh, give him a day, give
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: him a day. Not Dave Roberts call He's just a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: middle manager. So somebody benched Kyle Tucker. And whether that's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Andrew Freeman unlikely or somebody who knows, but.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: He sat down.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And the frustration is mounting in Dodgerland for the poor performance,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: especially especially a Dodger stadium for Kyle Tucker, who has
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: been horrific.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: That is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And here's the question.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Is Kyle Tucker officially a Dodger's liability or are we
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: still pretending you and I that this is just a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: rough patch. It's just a rough patch, that's all it is.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So I've got Hawaiian Punch, Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and open book. I exam and we will combine all
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna give away the shop.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: We're gonna give away this.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: If you want some hand sanitizer, there's a big thing
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a hand saying, I'll show you here what there's hand sanitizer.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: These giant containers really the only bonus, we get here
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: are these hand sanitizing things. It's which, so we need
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: another pandemic? Can we have another pandemic so we can
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: use the hand sanitizer.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: That would be absolutely great. Why not?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: So number one stop, So to answer the question, is
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Kyle Tucker at this point officially a Dodgers liability or
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: are we still pretending this is just a rough patch
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: for Kyle Tucker.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Uh listen, I don't even know how this is still
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a conversation. I don't get it. He is a capital
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: L liability. Okay, He's an albatross, is what Kyle Tucker is.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Say it loud, say it, proud albatross Kyle Tucker. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: just that's it. Full stop. Now I'm told for the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: monologue I have to continue, so I will have some
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: other thoughts here on Kyle Tucker. The Dodgers thought, for
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: some reason they were getting a superstar. We got a superstar.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, we got a superstar. They were so upseted.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: They would have been better off going to Carl's Junior.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: They would have gotten a superstar if they had gone
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to that fast food restaurant. Instead, they chose the baseball
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: player and then gave him a four year contract for
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty million dollars, and that is, that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is sixty million dollars a year. They have a ghost
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: for sixty million dollars a year. Now, the casual fans,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you know, they are so the casual fans, they still
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: think that Kyle Tucker is still he's still got it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: He's still he's just just gonna work through it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Everything will be okay, yeah, okay, fine, Now if you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: actually watch him play or listen to the games on
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the radio or anything like that, it's all tumbleweeds. It's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: all tumbleweeds, an invasive species from Russia. Tumbleweeds. That's what
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it is. Kyle Tucker is, again, for those of you,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the little slow a liability.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And that's just the way it is at this particular point.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And it's not a rough patch. Got If you think
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it's a rough patch, go down to Walmart and buy
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a clue. Go buy a clue. Okay, he's not hitting,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: he's not fielding, he's not hustling. What else is there? Seriously,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: if you don't hit, you don't field, you don't hustle,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and you look like you'd rather be anywhere else, what
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: exactly is left? Seriously, I don't get it. He's riding
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the chaos carousel. It's a chaos carousel.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Round and round we go, round and round we go.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And somehow every time the chaos carousel goes around, it
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: gets worse, it gets worse. He has been a season
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: long passenger on Kyle Tucker. The vomit comet. He's on
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: He is. He's a vomit COBBT guy.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Now keep in mind, it's not like the Dodgers weren't
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: warned about this, because they were. You know who warned them,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: The Chicago Cubs tree in Chicago and your Phoeme's team,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the Cubs there in Chicago. The Cubs last year benched
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker. They traded like seven thousand suspects minor league
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: players to get Kyle Tucker from the cheating a holes,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: so then they ended up benching him. He was horrific
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the entire second half of the season, and the Dodgers
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: saw that, and in true Dodger hubris, they're like, oh no,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: we know better than the Cubs. We know how to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: fix this guy. He'll be fine with us. We're gonna
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: unlock a higher level of Kyle Tucker. Yeah, how's that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: working out? Exactly? How is that working out? Yeah, it's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: like mixing together a giant bowl of Hawaiian punch, delicious
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Hawaiian punch.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Only to find a.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Turd floating in the middle of the punch bowl. And
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: guess who dropped the turd in the punch bowl?
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Ding ding ding ning ning.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is more likely than not it was Kyle Tucker,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: who I believe just went oh for nineteen? Is that correct?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: On the Homestand how's that working out? Oh for nineteen?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And gives off the vibe he would rather be having
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a colonoscopy or having his teeth pulled without any kind
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of medication.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: That that's what he's in for. And so it's.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Pretty simple here. Now we'll see if the Dodgers actually
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: have the balls to do it. At this point, Kyle
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Tucker is going to be with the Dodgers. He has
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: some opt out clauses. He's not going anywhere because the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: way he's playing, no one's going to bring him in
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and give him anywhere near the money he's getting out.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So he's going to be with the Dodgers for the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: length of the contract. But at this particular point, if
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you're the Dodgers, you have to say, hey, listen, shape
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: up or ship out. Shape up or ship out. That's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it because you cannot put Kyle Tucker the way he's
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: playing on your playoff roster. You can't do it. He's unplayable.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: You cannot put him out there. It's just the way
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: it is. And that's it. So period stop all right.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile to the Bronx we go in New York, where
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a report over the weekend indicated that the New York
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yankees have decided they're not even going to give a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: qualifying offer to Jazz Chisholm, their second baseman, their former
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: All star second basement Jazz Chism that this winter he
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: will not be getting even the qualifying offer, which means
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: he will be changing laundry. He will not be back
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: with the Yankees. Now, part of the reason behind this
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: is not only the performance of Jazz Chism, it is
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: also the fact there's a certain outfielder for the Yankees
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: they gave a qualifying offer to and yeah, well it
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: didn't work out so well and he took it. It's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: one of those like token things you give the qualifying offer,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: because nobody almost never, almost never do these players take
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the qualifying offer, and the Yankees got burned, and so
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know about that. I don't want
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to go down that road. So the question, though, what
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: is your first impression, first impression of the reports that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the Yankees have already decided they will not even make
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: a qualifying offer the second baseman, Jazz Chisholm Junior. So
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: if this is true, if the Yankees decide to pass
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: on a qualifying offer for Jazz Chick, if that's the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: reality of the.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Situation, it's not wrong.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It would be the baseball equivalent of leaving his luggage
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: on the curb and putting a white piece of paper
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: with black writing on it saying f r e E free,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: fr ee free and then just tape that on there
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and just go away and somebody will pick it up.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And then you put an add online if you want
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to offer up or one of those things, and then
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Sybdy'll come pick it up and that's it. This is
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a guy, Jazz Chisholm, who did bring the razzle dazzle.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He did bring the razzle dazzle in spring training. He
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: was the guy that talked about fifty to fifty, he's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: gonna hit fifty home run steal fifty bases for the Yankees.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But when it was time to put up or shut up,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: unfortunately for Jazz Chisholm. Yeah, he tossed his bats off
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the George Washington Bridge there and waved goodbye, bye bye. Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: no need to bring the bat up there. You don't
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: know how to use it, so why bring it up there?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: And you can?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: You cannot stink at a time where the money is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: on the table, you cannot do it. And Jazz not
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: only did he lose the spoon, he is now being
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: forced to show up with a fork at supper and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: he's trying to eat the Campbell's cream of Mushroom soup.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: With a fork.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: It's not really work. It's not so And the Yankees
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: are going to pay a premium price if you're good. However,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: if you are just mister personality sunglass social media guy
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: with unauthenticated vibes, it sounds like the Yankees are not
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: going down that road.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: So we'll keep an eye on that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And outside of Jazz, this one scenario where this doesn't happen,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and that would be jazz Chisholm going into a phone
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: booth and stepping out of that phone booth, and all
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's mister October two point zero in
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the postseason and is just absolutely hitting bombs. Kaboom kaboom,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: ka boom, ka boom kaboom. If he's doing that all
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the time, Okay, we got something at this point, we
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: do the show today. At this point that is highly
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: unlikely the Jazz Chism will do that. His expiration date
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: is rapidly approaching, and you look at it. He was
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: supposed to be on this twenty twenty six season for
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Jazz Chism, a Magical Mystery tour, and it has been
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a mystery. Why does he suck so much? Why does
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: he suck so much? It is a real mystery. And
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: right now he is officially on the slow bus and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the bus is heading towards Baseball Siberia. The bus route
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: or route is going to Baseball Siberia. So good luck
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: on that. And the last month and a half of
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: actually less than that now of the Jazz Chism as
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a New York Yankee for the time being. Now, meanwhile,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: speaking of the Yankees, and we also talked about the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Dodgers year. We must combine these forces together, as we
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: learned over the weekend, and we knew this was coming
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: because the man himself announced this was coming. He announced
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: his own demise, the passing of Tommy John. Now, if
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: you're younger than like forty five, you have no idea
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: who Tommy John is. You might think it's a clothing brand.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You might think it's a clothing brand.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: It's not. It's not.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean it is, but it's not, you know
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like the original Tommy John was
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: not a clothing brand. But Tommy John passing away from
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: bladder cancer over the weekend at the age of eighty three.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: A pretty full life from Tommy John. Then he made
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: his own announcement, what a way to go out. He
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: was in hospice in Florida and he knew that's it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: You know, games over soon, and he had the Yankees
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: send out a release during Old Timers Weekend in the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Bronx to thank everyone.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: What a cool thing.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: He thanked everybody you know, said his goodbyes, and that
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: was that from from Tommy Johnny pitched twenty six seasons
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in the major leagues. That is an entire generation and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: then some for Tommy John started with the Cleveland Indians
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty three and pitched for a gaggle of
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: other teams all the way to nineteen eighty nine, pitch
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: for six different teams, most known for his days with
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers and the Yankees, although he pitched, as we said,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: all over the map and you name it, and he
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of course is known as the guy. Nineteen seventy four,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: fifty two years ago, Tommy John had elbow ligament replacement surgery.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: It had never been done before ever, and he went
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: out there and pitched fourteen more seasons. After having elbow
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: ligament replacement surgery, they took a What they do is
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: they either take cadaver or they take a ligament from
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: your ankle or another part of your body and they
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: put that in your elbow.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: That's what they do.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: So that move revolutionized sports medicine for pictures worldwide. And
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: that leads us to the question. The question is this,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: how are you going to remember the life of former
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Yankees and Dodgers pitcher Tommy John. So I didn't want
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to spend a couple of minutes to reminisce about this guy,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: because I will remember Tommy John as the greatest sports
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: guinea pig that the modern world has ever seen. The
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: original patient zero, that is what Tommy John was, a
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: human crash test dummy, which generations of pictures have benefited from.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: What Tommy John did. He turned an experimental Frankenstein elbow surgery.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: And that's really what it is. When you're taking ligaments
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: out of another part of the body or a cadaver
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and putting them in your body, that's wild, right, And
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: so he had this Frankenstein elbow surgery and it is
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: now fifty plus years later, the industry standard. Now they
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: have adjusted it a little bit, it's still, though, the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: basis of that the bedrock of what happens when these
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: pictures have Tommy John surgery. There was a guy for
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the Reds over the weekend, Hunter Green, a guy was
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: throwing one hundred miles an hour. He's gonna have Tommy John.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Surgery's out for the year and next season as well.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: That's not possible without the original Tommy John.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: The OG.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Now, I was lucky enough a few years back to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: have Tommy John on the Fifth Hour podcast was in
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I want to thank Alf the alien
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Opiner for finding the date. I do so many of
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: these podcasts and radio shows. I have no idea when
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: anything is. I think everything was like a couple of
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: days ago.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I really don't.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I think everyone's around my age and everything was a
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago. I have no idea what's going on.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to stay on the horse. I'm trying
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to say on the mechanical bowl. That's all I'm trying
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to do. So it was twenty twenty one and I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: was approached by somebody used to work with in radio,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: no longer in radio. She was a friend of mine
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and I hadn't heard from this woman in like twenty years.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: She reaches out to me. She says, hey, we're starting
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: a campaign. We want to get Tommy John in the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. We're trying to do some media. Can
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you put him on? I said, yeah, I put Tommy
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: John on my podcast. Absolutely love that man. So she
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: gave me his number. I get him a buzz. He
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: was living in Palm Springs at the time. Could not
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: have been nicer. This cool guy, wonderful, you know, a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: small sample size obviously, and who knows, maybe he was
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: mean to other people, but he was very nice to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: me and we had a great conversation. Some of it
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: was broadcast, a lot of it before we hit the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: record button on the microphones. With Tommy John, we talked
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: about I knew Lasorda a little bit. He obviously knew
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: much better than me, played for him. But I was
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: telling some of the stories I had, He was telling
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: me some of the stories about that. We were talking
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: about the different teams he played for, what baseball was
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: like in the nineteen sixties as opposed to the two thousands.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time and I don't know
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: how much of this got on the actual podcast and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: how much of this didn't, but on pitching and why
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: pitchers need to throw more, and Tommy John's one of
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: those old timers that would say, hey, the problem with
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: baseball today is the pitchers don't throw enough. They baby
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the pitchers. Guys like Dave Roberts and Aaron Boone baby
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the pitchers. He didn't say their names. I said their names.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: He didn't say their name. But it was just great.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And to think that Tommy John's name, Tommy John's name
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: is right next to Luke Garrick's name. There's only a
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: couple of people in sports that have become part of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the medical vocabulary in American sport. And Lou Garrick met
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: his demise because of his illness. Tommy John lived a
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: full life, obviously it pitched another fourteen years, as we said,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: in the major leagues. And somehow, and I do agree
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: with the point, and we mentioned I was contacted by
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: some people trying to get Tommy John in the.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: How is he not in the Hall of Fame? Like,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I seriously don't get it. The
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: baseball writers completely flunked what was in many ways an
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: open and book I exam.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: They screwed this up.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: These idiots have elected cheating as one one thousand and two,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: one thousand hole Carlos Beltron, multiple suspected steroid cheats are
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: in the Baseball Hall of Fame. And yet you put
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: your foot down when it comes to a man that
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: had two hundred and eighty eight wins in the major
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: leagues back when wins mattered, pitched almost five thousand innings
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: four thousand, seven hundred innings and at a sixty plus
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: war for all the nerds, you love your war, And
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: if you look at the contemporaries, the people that he
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: pitched against her around that time, players like Fergie Jenkins
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and Jim Cott and Bert be Home, Blilevin all in
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, all of them in the Hall
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: of Fame. But no, no, we can't put Tommy John
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: We can't do that. God forbid.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Like, how do you literally revolutionize, revolutionize the entire sport
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of baseball, provide as a guinea pig, provide this miracle thing.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: And doctor Frank job who was the doctor team the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Dodgers team. Doctor, he's the guy that did the operation.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: But without Tommy John, there is no procedure. It was experimental,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and you still can't get in the Hall of Fame.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: He get ghosted from the Hall of Fame. It's ridiculous.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And he deserved a plaque while he was living, just
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: like Pete Rose deserved a plaque while he was living.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: And it's it's embarrassing.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And someday we'd like to see the Hall of Fame
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: grow some balls and take the vote away from the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: baseball writers. They don't deserve it. You can't put Tommy
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: John in there, and you put Carlos beltrot on the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Out puke in my mouth, cheating a hole in the
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, come on, eliminated, eliminated.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: So instead the baseball scribes, of course, gave him the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: ultimate blown save. Tommy John got the ultimate blown saved
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: from the baseball writers. And of course the reality is
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: he didn't need the Hall of Fame in many ways
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: because his name is immortality. Uh and he's when anytime
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: a pitcher has this operation, it's every news story on
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the Internet, social media. Tommy John surgery. That's Tommy John.

• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, I did. Yes, all right, So.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about BUCkies in Tennessee. So like Fred Toucher's
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: in Tennessee right now, he does go to BUCkies when
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: he's down there.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Now, for those who don't know, Fred Tucher's the morning
• 30:13

  Speaker 4: handed picture bend.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Oh good, congratulations. Who went to Who went to this shortstop?
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Us infielder went to Maine? Played the major leagues? What's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the guy's name?
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Really, See, that's hard to believe because it's way up
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: in Bangor, which is pretty much Mike up there was it?
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Mike Bordick? Somebody let me look at it, Alexa.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Did Mike Borden play for the University of Maine? Dude?
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: I got advanced the eye over here, dude. So I
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: told the people at seven eleven that they should, you know,
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: invest in BUCkies or whatever, and they should open one
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: in New Hampshire. Like there's no BUCkies in New Hampshire.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: We could probably do that with the plavate. What do
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: you fund funded groups? You know what I'm saying, dude.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: One more thing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I'm right by the way, Mike, how about that?
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Do I not have great Maine knowledge? Do I? I should?
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I need to call it for Maine right now. Mike Bordick,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: who I remember from the athletics back way back in
• 31:06

• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the University of Maine.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, playing the Cape League.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Now it is Toucher's kid good enough to pitch in
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: the major leagues.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Well, he's left handed, so I think he might be
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: able to pitch in the in the Major League because
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: like a utility pitcher, he could go in.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: For a There was a that would be rare. Radio
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: guy's kid makes it. We had our one of our
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: morning guys, our morning guy years ago. His kid made it.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Was All Star Closer with the Washington Nationals. Mark Patrick
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: was the morning guy and his kid made the Major
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: leagues with the Nationals and pitched for a couple of
• 31:38

  Speaker 9: got a nice ovation from the crowd at MetLife. Caught
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: a couple of passes, was open on another one downfield
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: that Jamis Winston didn't go to him on that, but
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: he said after the game he liked being out there.
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: He said, if you look at Taper at practice getting open,
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: do you think he's gonna make the roster?
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Ben it's two be determined. I think Harbaugh. I saw
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: some postgame comments from Harbaugh. He didn't seem like he
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: was completely convinced that Beckham's could be on the roster.
• 39:12
