  Speaker 1: went out in the lost to Venezuela. Logan Webb, who

  Speaker 1: was part of that team, said Team USA carried the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: most out of every team in the World Baseball Classic.

  Speaker 1: How does this land with you? Is it legit or flimsy?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And Major League Baseball is going into business with the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: prediction market. How does that resonate with you? Considering all
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of the scandals around baseball and in college basketball? What
• 0:46

• 0:56
  Speaker 1: over seven million in nil money and he turned it
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: down to go play for the Wolverines. He tap danced
• 1:03

• 3:55
  Speaker 1: We explore all avenues here. The big story everyone's yapping
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: about the A See Double A tournament and it has
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: been a back a bracket buster, a bracket buster. It
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: has been as it always is, here as it always is,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and the numbers are insane. It's like less than one
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: percent of brackets are perfect. I've not gotten the update
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: on the FSR Bracket Challenge to see how that's going.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I would imagine there is maybe one or two people
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that are left with a perfect bracket at this particular point.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I think I am winning. I think I am winning.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: But we'll find out. We'll find out. Our lead this hour, though,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: is not from college basketball. It's from the Diamond Record
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Ratings Baseball, pumping their chest out, sending out the ratings
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: about how many people are watching the World Baseball Classic, which,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: in comparison to the World Series and other big events
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is very small, but for baseball, it was a big
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: milestone that so many people watched in comparison to years past.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And despite that, Team USA continues to be mocked and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: ridiculed for their embarrassing offensive performance as they limped out
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of the World Baseball Classic, losing to Venezuela in the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: game earlier this week. Now, Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: who was part of this experience, has decided he wanted
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to punch back at you. Trows, you little flim flam trolls.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Do you see what he said? Did you already said no,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you were watching other things, you were not paying attention. Okay,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I got you. So the Higant's, I said, their new uniforms.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: They have Agante extra uniforms. Those are so those sell
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: fairmount fair amount of those. Anyway, I'll get to little
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: point please. So Logan Web said, quote, I feel like
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: there's a narrative that we didn't care, meaning Team USA.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: That is complete. I'm gonna clean this up for the radio.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Bullshoy Bullship is what he said. I think we probably
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: carred the most out of every team, to be honest
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: with you. Close quote let me repeat that as we
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: waltz through the overnight. So this is a guy on
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Team USA who says, I feel like there's a narrative
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that we didn't care. It's the pause button right there. Okay,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that's true. Really no debate on that. And then he
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: comes back quote continues, that's complete bull one one thousand
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and two, one thousand and three, one thousand ship. He said,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I think we probably cared the most out of every team,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you. So that is a good
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question for the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: esteem panel, Logan Web saying Team USA carried the most
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: out of every team in the World Baseball Classic. How
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: does this land with you? Legit or flimsy? Legit or flimsy.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So my view on this, I've got Group Project, Lone,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Star State, and Tour Guide, and we're gonna put all
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: these together. We're gonna go out and grab a bite
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to eat, is what we're gonna do. We're gonna grab
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a bite to eat and see how that goes. Now,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: first of all, this is not analysis by logan Web
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of Team USA fame. It is more like a lullaby,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a bedtime story, spinning yarn. You're spinning a web of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: lies or at least nonsense. The optics are not good
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for Team USA. And that's the thing that logan Web
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: can understand. He's not knowledgeable on it because he wasn't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: watching the games on television. He was playing in the game,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: so he didn't see what you and I saw. We
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: are more knowledgeable on what was going on than logan
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Web because we are judging this off the television broadcast
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: on Fox and Fox Sports won and all that. The
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: optics were not good. They failed the eyeball test by
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a country mile Team USA. That wasn't a whole bunch
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of passion. Now there were a couple guys at that passion,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but that was it was like a group pre where
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: nobody wanted to do the work, and there's like one
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: or two people that do the work and then everyone
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: else just takes credit for it. And I was always
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: one of the people in school that took credit for
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the work that I didn't do. But the Malor report card?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Did I give this an A? Did I give this
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a B? A? Scene is quote by Logan Web of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Team USA World Baseball Classic post mortem autopsy on the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic Mallard report card B B L What
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: does that mean? Bad body language, the posture, the slouching shoulders,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the eye rolling, the dragging around. It was some zombies.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Zombies out there. They looked like many of them were
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: stuck working a dead end job. It's like they were
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: at a dry cleaner that they it was the only
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: place that would hire them. They don't really want to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: do that work. It's not exciting work. And their job
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: was to pick the lint off of the polyester blazer. Yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: there was no sense of urgency that there was no juice,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: there's no fire in the belly for the most part,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and don't sell me effort when watching. And if you're
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: blind listening like Stevie Meatballs or inca terror that the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: tape screams indifference, right, the performance screams indifference. And Logan
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Webb even hedged his commentary. Webb said, I'm a quote
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: here the word probably diag give what, dig give what?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: That's right. You are so good. You listened so much.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You know that. That means even he doesn't believe it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Pop goes the weasel. That's a weasel word. Probably is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: a weasel word. Probably probably, probably, probably, probably I'll probably
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: give you a million dollars. I probably will probably, well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I probably, I'm not. Probably is what you say when
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you know you are selling oil, not olive oil, snake oil.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: If you cared the most, you don't have to say
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that you carred the note the most, because everyone already
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: know you cared the most, right, and you wouldn't say probably,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't use that word. Other countries treat this for
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, like life or death. The USA team, it's
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like a Saturday trip to Walmart and you gotta do it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of people there, and there's
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: probably some people that haven't showered in a couple of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: days and they're gonna be there, you know, or a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: random Wednesday game, afternoon get away game, when there's about
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: four thousand people in the crowd. Now, Bryce Harper said it,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: he said it. He said it's not the Olympics, like
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: he went on and said it. Some of these other
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: guys were pretending like it's bigger than the World Series
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and all that. They said it, but their actions were
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: not there. Meanwhile, to the money, money money, So Major
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, which is preparing for a Cold war, just
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: about everyone that works in that business has told me, Ben,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be no baseball in twenty twenty seven, at
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: least at the beginning of the year. They're gonna lock
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the player. The player are gonna get locked out, or
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be a strike that. Either way, there will
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: be no baseball at the beginning of next season. So
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: whoever wins the World Series this year, the Dodgers, there
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: will be no chance to defend that World Series the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: following year unless there's some kind of radical change because
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the owners want a salary cap. The players do not,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and who's going to blink? Well that said, major League
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Baseball finding new ways to make money. They have signed
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a exclusive sponsorship deal with IF, one of the leading
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: prediction market platforms. This is all the rage these days, right,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and even some of the big sports books are getting
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: involved in this. This is the new thing. It's kind
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: of like fast food selling fried chicken sandwiches. Well, now
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: everyone involved in this sector. It's like, well, it's the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: prediction market. It's the way to go. It's it's popular
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: these days. And so the value of the deal was
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: not announced by Major League Baseball, so we don't know exactly.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: The business trade papers are saying the sports business nerds
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: are saying this will be worth up to three hundred
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: million per year over three years. So three hundred million
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: per year, that would be nine hundred million dollars. Question,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: major League Baseball going into business here with the prediction market.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: How does this resonate with you? So there's some people
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: who are just up in arms, you know, the Internet
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: karens are up in arms. Oh my god, this was
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the worst thing ever. I can't believe it. Why would
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: they do it? And while I love to goof on
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Rob Man fraud and Major League Baseball. I don't look
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: at it that way. Baseball is taking something that is
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: not illegal, that is available, that is used, and they're
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: making some money on it. Video to eleven. Baseball is
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: following the lone star state law and there's a few
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: other states that have it. To stand your ground and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the critics, the people upset because of the many gambling
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: scandals in baseball these days, it doesn't matter. Major League
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Baseball is digging in like a homeowner with a shotgun
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: on their porch. They are protecting their real estate, is
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. And Rob Manford in the cartoon bubble
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: on the right side of my head, which is which
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is a on that he's doing a belly whopper's diving.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: He's while wearing a three piece suit into the deep end.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And it's the human psychology of that meeting macro economics.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: You got the human psychology people freaking out, oh my god,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: scandals and the macro economics. There is a demand. There
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is dopamine, and there's most importantly a pile of pesos.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: So there's some cash there, There's lots of it. So
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: what does baseball do instead? Of stepping back, which some
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of these dope. So you got to step back, step
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: back from the fire. Now, don't get burned. Not only
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: are they not stepping back from the fire, they went
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to the store to buy some marshmallows and they're roasting
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the marshmallows. Rob Manford is basically in one of those
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: TV game show wind tunnels, you know those, what's that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: show called The Big Deal of the Day, which is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: really cool. You go into that wind tunnel thing and
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: then they turn on the fan and cash goes flying everywhere,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and you've got like thirty seconds or a minute to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: grab all the money you can get. And that's what
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: baseball's doing here, and that's what it feels like. Gambling
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: is not a side dish anymore. It's the main course
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the house. They've got a lot of skin in the game,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: real skin. The only way. I was told this years ago.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And I like gambling and all that, And the problem
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is a lot of us cannot control our gamble that
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: if you do it occasionally, you pick your spots, you
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: can actually win money. Believe it or not. I believe
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: that to be do you know you wrong? But the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: problem is that you can't very rarely can you selectively wager.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And I've read books on some of the big time
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: players in Vegas gambling over the years that made a
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: lot of money gambling, and even they would say there
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: were times that they wouldn't bet and because they didn't
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like the game or the car that day, and they'd
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: sit it out. Very if you're you start getting addicted, obviously,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you know you can't stop stop doing it. So the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: only way that the house will lose is if there's cheating.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: So what they do is they use these big words
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: like integrity and oversight and safeguards and all that, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: then there is a lot of that in there, and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that there won't be temptation for the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: players to help out friends back in the home country
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: or whatever. It's It's like opening a fruit stand, right
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the players. It's forbidden fruit, and the players will occasionally
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: take a bite of the forbidden fruit that is being
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: sold at the roadside fruit stand. That is the way
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: it goes. Now, final fun, I want to go to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the World of College Basketball game and we're in the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: first day now into the second day of March Madness,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and there's a story that caught my chitch about Kentucky
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: basketball coach Mark Pope, who's embattled already. Kentucky many them
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: going out here in their first game. We'll see if
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that's correct or not later on. But Kentucky refused to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: confirm or deny that Michigan star, the actual lendeberg Borg,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: was offered seven to nine million to transfer from UAB.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: This is last year. So this guy, y actual Lendeborg,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: is one of the better players, if not the top
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: guy on Michigan, and he's getting a lot of money.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: But I suppose to he said it. It's not me
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: saying it. He said he got offered seven to nine million.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Now Pope was asked about that, he said, this is
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: all part of the distraction that my chamber is not
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a part of. We will try, as a quote, we
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: will try to embrace the circus nature of this and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: count on some responsible media members somewhere to actually kind
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: of dig in and find out or just be responsible
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: reporting as he lectured the media. Now, Lendenbergh told the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: sociate had press, which I guess is still around, that
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Kentucky had started the number with seven to nine million.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: The Wildcat's offer was about three times higher. Allegedly than
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: what the player ended up taking when he went to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the Wolverines. That's what he says. Question, what did you
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: make of Kentucky coach Mark Pope confirming the Wildcats offered
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: current Michigan star the actual Lindenbergh seven million to nine million,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: at least over seven million in nil money, and he
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: turned it down. So when Mark Pope said, this is
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a quote distraction, of course it is. It's a man
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: made distraction. It's like leaving your drink on the edge
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of the table and then being shocked when it spills over.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: It is odd and it's up because you're allowed to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: pay players in college basketball, and yet there is this
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm checking of the right word here, there's this this
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: rage towards Kentucky like they're paying more than anyone else
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and people are upset by it. Right, So let me
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: ask a simple innocent question to Mark Pope. If the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: nil number is nonsense that was reported, why not just
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: say hey, it's nonsense. Why not just say that's not legitimate.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: You're preaching about responsible reporting. Well, a member of the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: media asked for an answer, which I think is responsible reporting,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and yet you refuse to answer. Instead, you decided to
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: take a side hustle as a tour guide, taking us
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: on a hop on, hop off bus tour of Circle City,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: talking in circles, tossing out alphabet soup, and hoping that
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: nobody asked what actually is in the ball? What's in
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the ball? Don't ask? Just eat it. Just eat it,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: like truck stop fungus eating dog food. Just eat it. Now,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: this isn't a distraction, it is a business model. Kentucky's
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: get a lot of crappier. Remember Dick fi Tal, who
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: never says anything bad about anyone. Dicky v ripped Kentucky
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: for having a twenty two million dollar payroll. Now they
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: didn't get that twenty two million dollar pay roll by
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: selling tag along Girl Scout cookies. I don't believe these
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: are basketball mercenaries, as are all of your players. I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: got a big kick out of watching the tournament, and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you know, usual shots. It's cliche now, the tournament CBS
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: or whatever, True TV, whatever, these ridiculous channels are that
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: broadcast the games. And then the team will win, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the band will come down if they're there, the cheerleaders,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and they'll sing the fight song, and it's so hilarious
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to me because these guys are only there because they
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: got the money. They don't care. They have rat's ass
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: about what school they're at, and they're all into it,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, these guys don't even They probably don't
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: know what school they're going to. They don't know any
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: of the teachers because they haven't gone. I get it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: They're just getting paid, that's fine, but they're pretending they're
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: playing along. They're mercenaries, independent contractors. Year to year, they're
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: paid to make jump shots and jump from team to team.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And as far as this guy from Michigan, Yaxel Lindenbergh,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the player there, you know, the one that got away,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Kentucky allegedly offered a blank check and he decided to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: turn on an old Elvis to return to sender. So
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: again just asking if if the offer was fiction, Mark Pope,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the coach of Kentucky. Why does it sound so I
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: do know non fiction? Yeah? Anyway, it is the Ben
