• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Malor Show. We are in the air ev.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Re where I know it's rather shocking. Try to stay calm.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all together here at the same exact time,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: reaping the whirlwind of audio gold coast coast, border to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: border and beyond on the mast and unimaginably powerful microphones
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of FSR AMMA nating live from the words we are
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Home of the winged words garanteed human from the world
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, where legends like Nick the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Wendy's Guy in Minnesota and Alame Delu in the Bay
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and Fluffy Dave and Tom the Terrible all love. When
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I mentioned Express, if you work in logistics, you know
• 2:03

• 2:08

  Speaker 1: time work that fits at no cost to you. Visit

  Speaker 1: expresspros dot com, get support, get options, and get to work.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Checked a lot of football, a lot of noise, chatter,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: excitement that the NFL is back with exhibition games. The
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game was last night. High scoring game,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: not your standard boring exhibition game. There were a lot
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of points scored, not that I watched more than a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: few minutes off and I kept.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Flipping over to it, flipped over to it, and a
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: star is born.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Uh well, maybe Carson Beck getting a lot of love.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: He had big numbers for the Cardinals they lost. If
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you're into that kind of thing, and so we discussed
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that earlier. That podcast will be up.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Also someone named Haines King.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I do not believe he's a real king. His name
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is Haines King, and he had some nice plays for
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the Carolina football team. So we talk a lot about that,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and we moved out of baseball. And there is nothing, nothing,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that is on a bigger push in sports than the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Boston baseball team.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: That is our lead. The Red Sox.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Won again a thirteen inning at Finnway over the White Sox,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: down multiple times, did not have the lead until the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: end of the game. Boston has now won a mind
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: boggling thirty one of their last thirty six games, the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Red Sox thirty one and five.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: The last over a month.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: That is insane, monster mashing their way through the big
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: leagues and they are right there. They've what an embarrassment
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: for the Yankees. Red Sox were so far behind them,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and I know players got hurt. Well, the Red Sox
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: have had a bunch of guys out and doesn't seem
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to be affecting them now. The Red Sox winning all
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: these games, and I watched that. I watched more of
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that than the Hall of Fame game last night. That
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was great theater. You can tell there was a buzz
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: in the air finway, it was exciting, it was great.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed watching watching that. I thought that was
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: pretty cool.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So, unfortunately, for talk radio purposes, it's not great talk radio.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Red Sox are winning every game and they're playing.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Great, and so there's really not a lot to talk
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: about because what is there to say.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It's not very compelling.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: If they'd lost thirty one of thirty six, that would
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: be compelling. So instead, the Red Sox had given us
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the drift of drama, knowing the organization, knowing that it's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: not great talk radio.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: When a team is winning. When a team is losing,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: that's great.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: When you win, everyone your toes and gives you a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: shoulder rub and a bubble.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Bath and the whole thing.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: When you don't win, that's when the finger pointing starts,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and that's when the fund begins for our purposes.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So there is some drama off the field. Now, if
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: he saw this in that, he's so how could it
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: be drama? Mallard?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: The Socks have won thirty one of their last thirty six,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: inspired by that Mallard meet and greet, we did right
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: across the way there from Finway, clearly, so if you didn't,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he probably didn't. So the Red Sox Chief baseball Officer
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Craig Breslow.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Craig Breslow, he forcefully denied.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: The rumors that have been bouncing around the echo chamber
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the last couple of days about Marcelo Meyer.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Who the hell is that?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Mallard, Well, that was a can't miss prospect for the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Red Sox, who's no longer with the Red Sox. He
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: was dispatched from the Boston baseball team. So the rumor
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is that Marcel Meyer, Marcello Meyer and Roman Anthony, who
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is the prodigy of prodigies, the next great Red Sox hitter.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So Roman Anthony and Marcelo Meyer, according to Internet investigators,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: had either an off the field or clubhouse issue that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: led to the Red Sox to say bye bye to
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Meyer and he was traded to the San Francisco baseball team,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the Hagantes, and so Craig Breslo addressed this. He talked
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: about the speculation, was asked about it, and he said completely.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Untrue, nonsense, non sense.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Now the rumors continue and again, starting on social media,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: claims that Meyer and Roman Anthony had a major falling out.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: They used to be bros. You don't drink.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Together, chase girls together, that whole thing, and some post
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: even aletch there was a physical brew ha ha of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: physical Donnie Brook that took place. And so that is
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the accusation which Craig Breslow again said was completely untrue
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and nonsense and all that, and the altercation supposedly is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: being blamed in part to Roman Anthony and on my finger,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Anthony's been out. The Red Sox have been winning all
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: these games. Roman Anthony hasn't played a very long time.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Breslo said, there was no factual basis to these reports,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: all right, So that is a good jumping off point.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. Here's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the question.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Does the Red Sox general manager Craig Breslo denying off
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: field drama, all right, that that led to the trade
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of Marcelo Meyer. Does that kill the story? So I've
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: got Jurassic Park, Fashionista and mister Bubble, and we will
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to have the last word while we enjoy the Baba
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Ganoosh and the Gabba ghoul. So that is what we're doing,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and just just deal with it.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: That's it. You just gotta deal with it, all right.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: So to lead off here to answer the question, does
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox executive Craig Breslo denying off field drama
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: was behind the trade of Marcelo Meyer killed the.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Story pollice with extra cheese. Come on, that's not how
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: this works. I don't want to be that guy, but
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I'll be that guy. That's not how this works. That's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: not how any of this works. In my years behind
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the bully pulpit here at Fox Sports Radio and other
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: places I've worked, when a team rushes out a denial
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that fast, right when they rush out it, now, it
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: means there's something there, like they hit a nerve.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: That report hit a nerve. There's something going on.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And my spidy like senses tell me, now, it's likely
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: not exactly the.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Story that's on the interweb. It's never one hundred percent.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: However, there are some tentacles of that story that are accurate.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: The question is how much of it is accurate? Did
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: it get physical? Was this just personal? H and how
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: do these things happen.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: It happened all the time, normally the common denominator over
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the years. If you go back in the history of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: locker room drama, almost always it involves a woman. Almost
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: always it involves a woman's that's it. I more tales
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: from the Naked City, and this feels like the Boston Brass.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: They're sweeping up shattered glass while insisting there's nothing to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: see here, the window was never broken.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Just calm your ass down, that's.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: It, and they're telling the fan base that everything's fine,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: while the walls on the clubhouse are shaking like Jurassic Park.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Something happened. Something, we're gonna have to activate the Mallard
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Investigated Bureau.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And we're gonna have to get to the bottom of that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You don't dump Meyer, who you understand this guy? I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: don't maybe don't follow Red Sox whatever we're on over
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the place, but he was once part of the next
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: great generation, the Red Sox. It was like a year
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and a half ago they were sending out all this
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: propaganda about, oh my god, the futures by we got
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the next Big three, and we got Roman Anthony and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: we got this guy, Marcelo Meyer, and with this Christian
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Campbell guy, and they traded Meyer to San Francisco for
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a left handed relief pitcher. Okay, you don't trade the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: generational minor league player, the Big three guy, for a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: relief pitcher. In less, there's more to the story, and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: either he screwed up or indirectly screwed up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: So the Red Sox are trying very hard to.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Paint this as some kind of legitimate base ball move,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: legitimate strategy, and of course they're hiding the dysfunction.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Nobody trades a player who a year and a half
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: ago they propped up as one of the crown jewels
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: for some gumballs unless there's something really juicy. I'm talking
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: juicy lucy good. That happened the cheese.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: In the middle of the burger, That's what I'm talking about,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: all right now.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Furthermore, we stay in the American leagueese we go to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: one of the great highlights. I laughed my ass off.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I very rarely laugh at a baseball highlight.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: It takes a lot for me to chuckle when I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: see a baseball highlight. And God blessed the Baltimore Orioles,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: those little rascals.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: They did it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: So they have a shortstop named Jackson Holliday. You told
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: me this guy was gonna be amazing a couple of
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Was it last year? And it was last year he
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: told me, Oh my god, Jackson Holiday. Jackson Holiday.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: You anyway, so he's playing and playing the Angels. There
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: was a Mattine game at Camden Yards. Friends and family
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: were invited and my guy, Jackson Holiday there pop up
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: second inning and zacht O there popped it up and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: routine major league pop up. Oh the sun, I think
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: kid's ken's inside. I can't see the ball.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, the ball dropped.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And of course he was wearing sunglasses, Jackson Holiday, he
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: had them on his head, he just did not have
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: them on his eyes.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm not making this up.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had the sunglasses on the top of his cap,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: not his eyes. Now, this of course made all kinds
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of internet blooper reels, and it was it was really funny.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just priceless, and it really sums up
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it's a microcosm of modern baseball because not only is
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday screwing up and not putting his sunglasses on,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: we've got Zach Nedo, who's dogging it and not hustling.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So instead of ending up at second base because he
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: did the major league jog half assing it, he didn't.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: He made it the first But that's it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And then I love the sarcastic cheers from the Baltimore
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: fans who cheered when Holiday eventually decided, well, I probably
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: should put the sunglasses on.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Now I probably should put those on.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: So the question what is the significance of Orioles shortstop
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday losing a fly ball while wearing sunglasses? He
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: just forgot to put them on his eyes. So Jackson
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Holiday was pre installed with greatness, pre installed with greatness
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: tagged as a generational engine. You told me future Hall
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of Famer has the pedigree? Has his dad was a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: really good player, has the pedigree? He Patty Ray instead.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So far, Jackson Holliday has been a movie trailer, loud, flashy, exciting,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: hot people in the trailer, but the actual film is
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: straight to streaming.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's not hitting the big stream.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And this is the latest example of the fight that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I'm in. I've said it for years, A prospect is
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a suspect and too pro otherwise, And here both these
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: stories we've talked about so far in this monologue. We
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: talked about Marcel Marcello Meyer, who was dumped for a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: relief pitcher a year ago.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: They said he was one of the big three that's
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: going to save the Red Sox franchise.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Here we have Jackson Holliday who's out there wearing sunglasses
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: but not putting them on his eyes and dropping a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: fly ball. Nothing sums up baseball's mindset with these prospects.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: He got a top prospect losing a fly ball because
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: he forgot his sunglasses. Except it was not an accident.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: After a minutes long deliberation of the information, it was
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: not an accident. This was a fascionista move. I looked
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: at it, and Holiday wanted the razmataz. He wanted to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: impress the ladies and the buddies of his so he
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: traded the functionality its form over function. Right, he traded
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the functionality of wearing the glasses and being a competent
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: major league shortstop on a sunny day in Maryland.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And he's like, I gotta get that clean look, dude.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I gotta get the clean look. I gotta look. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: gotta be styling, I gotta.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Be profiling style over substance, like he wants to be
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: some kind of TikTok fashion influencer who occasionally plays some baseball.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: And while his peers.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Who were drafted in that he was the top pick.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: But the peers that were drafted, some of these guys
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: have been on a rocket ship and they've become stars.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: This guy was the number one overall, number one overall pick,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and he keeps stalling out, needing.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: A tow truck.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And Baltimore expected a plug and play savior, the Great Messiah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: opening up another part of their championship window, and instead
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they have gotten so far, Jackson Holliday has given the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: team a blooper reel, inconsistent, mostly bad offense, and the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Orioles are under five hundred, heading straight into another ditch,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: playing out pretty much meaningless games for the last couple
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: months of the circuit.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: The engine isn't just stalling, It doesn't look like it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: got the right parts all right. Last thing to New
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: York we go, and there is a debate about the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: future of Bobashet. He was not obviously traded. He is
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: still property of the dog Food Mets.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: He was asked about his pending Mets contract option and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Bobaschett saying that he is solely focused.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I love this is my favorite. This is the.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Ultimate meat head quote. I'm focused on what I've got
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to do. Of course, what he has to do is
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: just play play games that are just depressing.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: No real fans, no juice, just bad.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: So he's asked about the contract, he said, the way
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I look at it, he said, I think there's no
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: doubt that this team, meaning the Mets, are going to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: be better next year. I really believe that. All right,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: close quote question, does Bobashett actually have any kind of
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: leverage with the Mets or is this just the illusion
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: of leverage as he has.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: To decide whether he wants to get out of the contract.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: So this is a hocus pocus with zero focus.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: If Bulbashett, which is sumely a possibility, He's not just
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: a Mama Luke, he is the king of all, Mama
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Luke's first ballot, Hall of Fame, Mama Luke.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: This is.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: For gaysy leverage. It's it's not real right leverage.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: If you squint and tilt your head just to the left,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: just to the left, not the right.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: So in terms of aav which a lot of these
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: baseball people worship AAV average annual value is what that
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: means for those of you a little slow this.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Morning, Bobaschett got as much leverage, He's got so much
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: how much leverage he's got as much leverage. If you've
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: ever taken the subway system in New York, you have
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a metro card that has seventy five cents on it,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that's how much leverage. That's how much leverage Bobochet has. Well,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: it's not really gonna get you anywhere. You're gonna have
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to jump over the thing to get on the subway.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: If he walks, good luck.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: The Mets at this point should want him to walk,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and he's not gonna be able.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: To find a forty two million dollar a year AAV.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Do you understand in the history of Major League Baseball,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Boba Shett is the sixth highest on average salary in
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the history of baseball. Holy Andres Gottalarraga batman. Yeah, that's insane.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Even Brett Barbery somewhere shocked by that. He's twenty eight. Yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: by they have no idea that is it's an old
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: baseball player. The old guys laugh, though.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: The old guys liked that when I dropped those old names,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I'm doing it for the old guys. They love it.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: They love those names.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: They like Tim Wallach, you know Rock Rains. Those are
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: great names that they're really good names. Otis Nixon, skeletor
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: good names. All Right, So he's twenty eight, and it
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: is possible that he'd get more total money because there's
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: two years, two option years left at eighty four million.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: We're very concerned about the.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: The finances of Bobaschet, who comes from wealth because his
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: dad was a baseball player for the Blake Street Bombers
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: back in the day. However, the yearly average salary, the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: yearly average salary will be will be hanging with mister
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: bubble or go.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: The yearly checks will have to take a bubble bath.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: H And here's why, because he's been a garden variety
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: med not bad. He had one good month. He started
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: out terrible, had one good month. He's back to July
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: was terrible. Uh, not good enough to cheer it.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I watch way too many Mets games. I'm not a
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Mets fan. The reason I watched the Mets games is
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: they're in the early TV window and they have announcers
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: that don't annoy me.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: And that's why a lot.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Of these announcements I just have the mute button on.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: The Mets are one of the few teams in baseball
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I don't put the mute button on.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: They have good broadcasters, and I enjoy the fudson around
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that they do.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So I've watched a lot of the Mets and Poba Schett,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: who is so good in Toronto, is so bad And
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: he said, well, overall, he's not bad. He's a garden
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: variety met okay, garden variety. Not bad enough to boom
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: most nights, not good enough to cheer most nights. But hey,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that's baseball, Susan, the only sport where you can bat
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: like two fourteen, pull a hammy that goes whammy while
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you're sneezing, and still cash checks that are kind of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: like the budget the Pentagon has. It's insane. It's absolutely insane.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Is the Ben Mahllor Show, which some have said is
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: also insane.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: We don't believe that. Now.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Some of the people that call are certainly on the spectrum,
• 21:29

• 24:00
  Speaker 1: will be used against you in the court of sports radio.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: All right, back to it. I have some other thoughts
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: on the Red Sox I wanted to mention. I am
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: so happy for Chad Tracy who is managing the Red
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Sox right now.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: They have to keep him, right, the Red Sox have
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to give Chad Chasey the managerial job. I feel like
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: he's already done enough now to keep the job. The
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: son of former Dodger manager and one of my boys
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: back in the day, Jim Tracy, who was the Dodger
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: manager many many years ago, And so I'm very happy
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: for Jim that his son is doing a hell of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a job apparently with the Red Sox. And how upset
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: must Alex Korraby like he was strutting he thought his
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: poop didn't smell and he was the god Yeah, apparently does.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And remember that big hissy fit he and the coaching
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: staff had when they whacked him, Well, looks like whoever
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: made that decision made the right call, because this is insane,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: absolutely insane.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: What the Red Sox have been doing here. Obviously the
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: numbers are.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: Mind bogglings to us.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: The Malor Show goes to Boston and shortly after that
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox go on an.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Absolute burner, an absolute burner. It all started when we were.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Having drinks at the Cask and Flagon and Mike the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Leprechaun was rubbing suntan lotion all over his body and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: that's what inspired this. And we are available like not now,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: but like next baseball season. If you want us to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: inspire your team to go on a burner, just just
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: give us a buzz and send us out there.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: The power that we have is a meen spen.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Depending on our mood, we can either shut down your
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: franchise and you'll never play again.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: We propelling you to the play.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: That was the curse of the bed Bino. We threw
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: out the first pitch.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: There was a Mallard Knight in Bakersfield in the col
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: league team had been around for one hundred years, Bakersfield's
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: minor league baseball team, hundred years baseball. We went out
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: there throughout the first pitch. The team went bankrupt within
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: a couple months. So the Red Sox overcame five deficits
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: against the White Sox in thirteen ings.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: They sweep the series. They've now won. Let me do
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: the Matthew Mallard math. They've won eight in a row.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: If you go back to June twenty fifth, they are
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: they played thirty six games.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: They're thirty one in five.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Every other team in that business is at least seven
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: games behind where the Red Sox have been thirty.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: One and five.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: They were eight games under five hundred on June first.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: They've won.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Now, what is the against good teams? This is usually
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: against good teams. You're like, well, you beat the bad
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: teams with the good teams. And I was critical when
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: this started. Coope asked me, I think in the third degree.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I was asked about do I buy the Red Sox.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: They'd won a bunch. I said, well, they beat the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: White Sox and the Mets and the Angels. I'm like, A,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: don't know about that. Check this out. So thirteen and oh,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: now the Red Sox record in games against division leaders.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: They're hitting two to eighty against teams that are in
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: first place. In this stretch, they're averaging seven runs a game.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: They've outscored the first place teams by fifty eight runs.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: They have an ERA under three by the starting pitching step.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely bonkers what they're doing. It just absolutely crazy.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Lucky Tony, who's in the Bay
