• 0:57
  Speaker 1: whole story wrong. And you know we're gonna tell that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to our guests, to a man who has never had
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a good take in his entire life, longtime baseball writer
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and even longer talker Rob Parker, horrible anyway. But first,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a message from our good friends at the United States
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Postal Service. Do you use FedEx or UPS for your
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: shipping needs? What are you a trader? Yeah? Support the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: government and send your packages through the US Postal Service.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You call me bastard. Yeah, USPS the shipping company for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: real Americans. All right, there we go. Got that out
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of the way. So let's get right into it right
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: now with our top story story controversy surrounding the all
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: time hit king, Phillies and Red's legend Pete Rose. Now,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: on a recent Phillies broadcast, he was talking during the game,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you know, telling the commentates a terrific story. It's a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: great story. You know. He's talking about what his Red's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: teammate Tony Perez said about hitting a fastball. Now, we're
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: gonna play this clip. Now. Before we do, we should
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: tell you that Mr Rose uses another name for a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: man's genitalia pot and uh, you know you might find
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it offensive if you happen to be an eight seven
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: year old grandmother. Yeah, buckle up, grandma and listen to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the hit game. Okay, let's roll that clip. I hit
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it hi fastball. We will hold on the moment. Jake,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: did did I hear that word bleeped? Yeah? Well, what's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: going on? I can't say that word FCC regulations. What yes, Well,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: can I say these words? You're a thing and of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a producer. Uh, you can't say those, Oh, unbelievable. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: like we have the FBI up in here. Well, this
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: continues to prove that we are living in a country
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: where freedom of speech is being violated once again, until
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: if people like our producer grew up, they would see it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: There is absolutely nothing wrong with the phrase high fastball.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: It is pure baseball terminology, goes way back, and in fact,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it shows us why Pete Rose is truly the all
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: time hit king. Isn't that right, Dony? It's shameful? What's
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: going on? Pete Rose just told us his secret to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: winning what was it, twelve batting titles. He was so
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: afraid of a picture thrown at his car that he
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: learned how to hit everything in order to protect his
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: from getting destroyed. He was practicing the awe of self
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: defense and defense. You know, Tony, this is the PC
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: liberal media telling is what we can't and can't say.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: You know, for years now, they told us that we
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: should worry about an athlete's head. Okay, okay, but if
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you ask us, and you ask Mr Fete Rose, the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: head you should be worrying about is the one on
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: your Isn't that right? Don't he Ask any medical professional
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and they'll tell you a concussion is serious. But what's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: more serious is a cussion. I want suffered a cushion
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: during the kickball game back in sixth grade when I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: caught a line drive right to my fazzle. And while
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I still works like a machine, of course, don't get
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: me wrong, back then I couldn't play kickball for like
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: two days or something. That is just terrible. And you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: on the subject, don't you know people in baseball they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: love to talk so glowingly about Randy Johnson. You know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they say it was such a great picture. No, he
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: was only good because he's scared bad as by a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: m at that. You know, everyone in the sport knows.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He got the nickname the Big Unit. Not because he
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: was tall, as you know people like to tell you,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: but because he was so big on throwing at guy's units.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I can't believe people don't realize this. He literally wants
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: throw at a Remember when he threw a pitch at
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that bird flying across the field. Boom explosion. Think about
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the effect that had on bad as them having to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: worry about dick exploding. Can't even imagine. But you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: let's keep it moving. Move on to another big story
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: out of baseball. You know, we don't normally discuss Little
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: League on this show because you know, frankly, who cares.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But there's a video circulating from this Little League World
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Series where this kid pitcher from Texas he plunks this
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: kid Batta from Oklahoma in the head. Now, the Batta
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is fine and go is the first space, but the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: picture starts crying because he's so upset by what he did.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Now here's what happens next. The Bata calls dime, goes
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to the mound and hugs the picture to console him. Now,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: many of people saying, no, this is such a beautiful moment,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: but I found it utterly disgraceful, didn't you, Tony? It's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: one percent shameful. What are we teaching kids these days?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: How do we expect the kid to be successful as
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a picture in the major leagues if he can't feel
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: comfortable throwing directly at a player his head or also
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that great point, Tony, you know, we all know if
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you want to be a successful pitcher in the major leagues,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you have to throw out a bat his head four
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: or five times per game. It's how you established dominance.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Right again, I go back to Randy Johnson. He once
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: killed the live animal in the middle of a game.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: That sent a strong message to the opposing battas. Yelp,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that let them know they could be murdered by a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: fastball at a moment's notice. Yeah, exactly. And uh, by
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the way, at that little league game after that quote
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: unquote unfortunate incident or whatever, Oklahoma, right, the team with
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the battle who got hit, they went on to lose
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that game by a mile. And you want to know
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: why because all those kid battas were afraid for their lives.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And you know you got to assume that, do right
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: A h alright, Well, to talk through all these stories,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I see our guest coming on the line there, so
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: let's bring him on the full SCO satellite network satellite alright.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Here's I guessed. You know. He owes He owes the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Odd Couple on Fox Sports. He writes for dead Spin, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: All right. He's also a Hall of Fame voter for
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame, which cast doubt on the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: whole voting process if you ask me. Anyway, let's just
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: bring him in here. Rob PoCA. Welcome to the show. Welcome.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: What's happening to guys? I'm surprised you have me back.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: It's been a year. Don't be so on yourself. There
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: we we waited anyway. Look, you claim to no baseball,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you must know the terminology. Be familiar with that. Don't
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you think it's perfectly acceptable and fine for Pete Rose
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to describe a fastball as kai not at all? Are
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you kidding people? What? What's sensory? Are you guys in?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Is this the stone age? Kidding me? I'll hold a
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: stone You'll see how you like it? Say belt high
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: because you below the belt. Don't you know where it is?
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It's appropriate description? Hi, belt is too high? You know
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: this is what made Pete Rose such a great hitter.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You know you can't get your hit. How are you
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: supposed to play baseball if you just got hit in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the fact, he's trying to teach people. Now, wait a minute.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: You know if I would just to describe my subscribe
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a pitch like that to me, maybe it was almost
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: on the ground. You know what I'm saying? This guy ragged.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: It's almost as big as fantasy facts. Not Yeah, you're
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a journalist. Yes, yes, speak of the facts. Yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: but you know, you see, this is what's going on
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in a society. Did you see that video of the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: little league is hugging each other? That you know that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the little league hugs the other little league the kid?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The kid cried, they hug each other. What are you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: supposed to do? You it's just the ball game? Is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it the end of the world talking about you liked it?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You liked it. You want to know why because you're
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: part of this leftist media all sensitive can't say the words,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: so except you want to describe your on the air
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: for everybody appears, uh, you know, don't you think you're
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a hypocrite? Man? By the way you're telling us about
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: your get Pete Rose can't talk about can't you know?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I said, I was just saying if I were to
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: do that, but I don't think it's appropriate. You don't
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: need to unit that description. This is a nineteen forty
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: five or fifty five or sixty five. We're sophisticated. Now,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: there's a better description than that. Oh yeah, you're so sophisticated.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: The one talking about your being on the ground look
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: at you. Yeah, all right, you know, but don't you agree?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't you agree what Pete Rose was getting
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that that if pictures would throw it at that's a
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: strategic advantage. It's a strategy. And he was saying that's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: what they were doing. No, it's not a good strategy.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: How about pitching off the outside of the of the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: plate or the black of the plate? All right? Hold on.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: You know who disagrees with you, Randy Johnson. They called
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: him then, and you know why, they called him the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: big unit because he was so big. I'm throwing at
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: guy's units, you know, come by here an beside the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: name because he was six ft eight. I thought that's why. No,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: because you love throwing at people's only. All right, look
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: come on this, let's get do it here, just coming.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Don't you see where we're coming from. The Baseball world
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: should apologize to Pete Rose for their poor treatment though,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and you're to you hero should apologize. He's been an
• 11:19

  Speaker 1: What Randy Johnson didn't get the nickname the Big Unit
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: from throwing a player private parts or because he was tall.

  Speaker 1: Yeah it was he got it because when he was

• 13:17
  Speaker 1: tiny unit if you catch my drift. Yeah, even the
• 13:21
