And it is our first show, New York Sports Loudmouth with Mr. Q
0:55
Quinton Coppols. He's joined us.
0:57
He's been an ecstatic, you know, interesting fella.
1:02
And, and as we get to know him, we'll get to know a little bit
1:05
more about his personality. He doesn't like pie.
1:08
He likes to eat healthy and he likes his fish.
1:11
You know, Speedy, you like fish. I do.
1:16
I love. Most types.
1:17
I should say all but most most types.
1:19
No, I'm a pie guy too. My fault.
1:21
OK, you like pie? You like that red salt?
1:24
Pie. Sweet potato pie.
1:25
Oh, sweet potato pie. You want to get me sweet potato?
1:28
Pie. How about?
1:28
How about poutang pie? How about that?
1:31
No, no thank. You.
1:32
I don't want poutang pie. No, you're not looking for any
1:35
of that, right? Not looking for it at.
1:37
All you got, you got a beautiful lady, so why do you need that,
1:40
right? Why would I?
1:46
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to get into the AL
1:48
and NL E preview. The National League East is
1:51
projected to be an interesting three team race, with the Braves
1:56
win total projected to be 86.5, the Phillies 89.5 and the Mets
2:01
90.5. The Braves resign closer Ricelle
2:05
Iglesias traded for outfielder Mike.
2:09
How do you pronounce your Shem, whatever his name is?
2:12
I don't know why you're giving me these.
2:14
Gave a big contract to All Star reliever Robert Suarez and
2:19
brought back Chris Sale to a one year deal.
2:21
The Phillies were able to bring back a JT Realmuto and Kyle
2:26
Schwarber but lost Ranger Suarez.
2:28
The Mets traded Freddie Peralta, gave a big contract to Beau
2:32
Bichette which is playing off key from shortstop to third base
2:36
which makes no sense, and and signed Jorge Polanco while
2:40
losing Pete Alonzo and Edwin Diaz and trading Jeff McNeil and
2:45
also Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers and Mark for Marcus
2:49
Simeon. Four teams in the American
2:52
League East have a projected win total over 85 with the Orioles.
2:57
I I have no idea how this this is even true at 85.5, the Red
3:02
Sox at 87.5, the Blue Jays at 88.5 and the Yankees at 90.5.
3:09
The Orioles brought back starting pitcher Zac Eflin,
3:13
signing starting pitcher Chris Bassett, Bassett and signed two
3:19
former relievers, Ryan, what is it?
3:22
Helsley and star first baseman Pete Alonso.
3:26
The Red Sox traded veteran pitcher Sonny Gray, which
3:29
absolutely blows, and catcher Wilson Contreras and also gave
3:34
Ranger Suarez a big contract. The Blue Jays signed Japanese
3:37
third baseman Akamoto. What a name.
3:41
Brought in two former Mets pitchers, reliever Tyler Rogers
3:46
and starter Max Scherzer, and gave Dylan Sees a big contract.
3:51
The Yankees traded for pitcher Ryan Weathers, brought back
3:54
reliever Tim Hill, infield Ahmed Rosario and alfielder Trent
4:00
Grisham and resigned Cody Bellinger to A5 year deal.
4:05
So let's get into the National League East because I think the
4:08
National League East is going to be more wide open than the
4:12
American League East. I, I think and I'll, I'll get
4:14
into the American League East and why I'm going to give you my
4:16
take on it. I think the Braves are going to
4:20
be a lot better than people think this year.
4:23
I do. And, and they're saying that the
4:26
Braves are projected at 86.5. I think they're going to be
4:29
better than that. I, I could see the Braves
4:31
winning 90 games this year. Acuna is going to be healthy
4:35
this year. If Acuna is going to be healthy
4:38
for at least 140 games, they have the pitching staff and
4:41
they've got Strider. This is a good pitching staff.
4:45
They have got a lot of good young players.
4:46
We're going to see a bunch of players being called up in the
4:49
next couple of months. I, I really think the Braves are
4:52
going to be a really, really good team this year.
4:54
I, I think they're much better than they obviously experts are
4:58
thinking. So if you're a betting man at
4:59
86.5, bet them over 86.5. The Phillies 89.5.
5:06
I think the Phillies are the best team in this division.
5:10
Now, that doesn't mean the Mets aren't going to make the
5:12
playoffs. I think the National League East
5:14
has three teams that are going to make the playoffs.
5:16
I think this is the best division in all of the National
5:19
League. Philadelphia.
5:21
They're good, they're loaded. Kyle Schwarber is going to have
5:25
another good season. Hopefully he does better than,
5:27
you know, the WBC and I think Bryce Harper is still a
5:32
competent player. He can get you 30 home runs and
5:35
90 RB is I think they have a great pitching staff.
5:38
They have a very good ball pen for for a team over the years
5:41
that have not had good ball pens.
5:43
This is a good bullpen. And I think that you look at the
5:46
Philadelphia Phillies with some of the additions that they made
5:49
in the offseason, I think bring it back JT Romuto.
5:53
I think that's an absolute plus. He's a big part of the pitching
5:56
staff and behind the plate, you need a leader, a captain behind
6:00
the plate to help this pitching staff go.
6:02
I, I, I just, I like what Philadelphia has done in the
6:06
offseason, bringing back all their all the guys they did lose
6:09
Ranger Suarez and they Nick Castellanos, they.
6:13
Were trying to trade him. Yeah, they didn't want him.
6:15
He's an outfielder who was expensive.
6:17
They needed to move him. I think that was, I think that
6:19
was a good move just to get rid of him.
6:21
I I I really, really, really like Philadelphia this year.
6:24
The Mets. Freddy Peralta is going to give
6:27
him an ace. They're going to have an ace and
6:31
Nolan McLean, that takes a lot of pressure off of Nolan McLean.
6:34
Nolan McLean doesn't have to be that dominant and he is.
6:37
He's up for rookie of the year this year.
6:38
So Nolan McLean could still win the National League Rookie of
6:42
the Year and could be up for a Sai Young playing behind Freddie
6:45
Paolo. You're not going to play against
6:46
the best pitchers. You're going to play against the
6:48
secondary, maybe the third best pitcher on a on a team's roster.
6:52
So that gives the Mets an advantage.
6:54
I don't like the Bo Beau Beauchet move.
6:56
I, I question his injury. He's an injury prone player
6:59
playing third base. Third baseman don't stay
7:02
healthy, especially guys out of position.
7:04
He was a shortstop his whole career.
7:06
Now you're moving. I think I would have moved Boba
7:08
shit out out in the outfield. And what are they going to do
7:10
with Jorge Polanco? Because what I'm reading is
7:13
Beatty's going to win the first base job.
7:15
And Carson Bend is apparently making the opening day roster
7:17
too, in the outfields. So where is Jorge Polanco going?
7:21
You paid him, You gave him a two year extension.
7:23
You're paying him pretty good money.
7:25
Where does he fit? He's he automatic DH?
7:27
Probably that's what you're paying an automatic DHI mean.
7:33
He's not a great power. He had a lot of home runs last
7:35
year. I think he had 20 something.
7:36
Yeah, he. Has he has a couple years like
7:38
that? He had like 2 years like that
7:40
with the twins and then last year with Seattle had almost 30
7:43
home. Runs.
7:44
I mean, losing a guy like Pete Alonso, that's huge.
7:48
Losing a power hitter of that magnitude, you're talking about
7:51
a guy that averages between 35 and 40 home runs a season and
7:54
giving you almost 100 RB is you lose that and you're expecting
8:00
Beau Bouchette and Jorge Polanco to give you those kind of
8:03
numbers. That's what you and they also
8:05
add to Devin Williams, which you forgot on that one.
8:09
And Devin Williams has a lot of questions to the to him as a
8:11
pitcher, as a relief pitcher. Is he going to be your closer
8:15
this year? You're paying him like a closer,
8:17
but he's not Edwin Diaz. Edwin Diaz is one of the elite
8:20
closers in all the baseball. He goes to the Dodgers.
8:23
You're missing those pieces in your bullpen and you're going to
8:26
depend on Tong. Maybe they call Tong up and move
8:29
him as a long relief pitcher because he's probably not going
8:32
to start the season on this pitching staff and you're losing
8:35
Brandon Nimmo. That's a significant loss, a
8:39
leader in the outfield, a guy that hits as your first batter,
8:42
your number one guy. He gets on base at a clip.
8:46
He does hit for somewhat power and he's a good defensive
8:49
player. He's not a great defensive
8:50
player, but he's better than anything they have out there.
8:54
So they think the Mets are going to win 90.5 games.
8:58
I think the Mets win 89 games this year.
9:00
I don't think they break 90 games.
9:03
I think Philadelphia wins over 90 games.
9:08
Mets 89 and I project the Braves somewhere around 808889.
9:14
I think the Mets and the Braves will have the same record.
9:16
I think both all three teams are making the playoffs this year
9:20
and don't be surprised if the Braves pull away in this in this
9:23
conference, in this division. I I really do believe that the
9:27
Braves are as good as any of these teams if they stay
9:29
healthy. I don't know if I I'm going to
9:31
bet on a Cunha and Strider, but if these two guys stay healthy,
9:34
Strider is one of the best pitchers in baseball.
9:37
Don't, don't bother on that. IL came out earlier today,
9:41
Strider already down with an oblique.
9:44
They don't know how. They didn't say the severity,
9:46
but it's at least of probably the first month of the season.
9:49
If it's not a great one, it'll be one month.
9:52
He was one of the worst pitchers in baseball last year.
9:54
I know this because he's my keeper on my fantasy team and I
9:58
love the guy. His fastball's down a couple of
10:01
ticks and it's not moving as as he used to before the injury and
10:05
he doesn't have secondary pitches like that.
10:07
He was a two pitch guy, fastball, slider.
10:10
So he's going to take some time to try to reinvent himself.
10:13
I don't know even if he's healthy if you you're going to
10:15
get anything close to what we saw from him for like 2 plus
10:18
years where he was probably if not the best, one of the two or
10:22
three best pitchers in all baseball sucks and then they
10:26
have all these other injuries there.
10:27
Errol like they already they. Schwellenbach isn't coming back
10:31
till halfway through the season. Waldrip is probably same thing.
10:34
What a name. Smith.
10:35
Sharpers out for the year? Probably they picked up Hassan
10:42
Kim. They thought he.
10:44
Was going to be good for them I think.
10:45
Say that again. What's what's his name?
10:47
Hassan Kim, right? Hassan Kim, not to be confused
10:51
with Hey Song Kim on the Dodgers.
10:54
He's out with a torn tendon in his right middle finger.
10:57
So he's out for a couple of months.
10:58
They're just banged up already. They always hasn't even started
11:01
yet. It's crazy.
11:03
But Ronald Lacuna looked very good in the WBC.
11:06
He did. And.
11:06
Yes, he did. I think that a healthy Ronald
11:09
Lacuna in that lineup is going to give you a guy that's going
11:12
to give you between 30 and 40 home runs.
11:15
I don't know if he steals as many bases.
11:18
I don't. I wouldn't put him at risk and I
11:19
won't. I wouldn't put him out in the
11:20
outfield every single day because you have to protect him.
11:24
You have to keep him healthy. He always gets hurt.
11:26
He tears his ace. He's torn his ACL twice out in
11:29
the outfield. You got to keep him.
11:31
I was going to say I worry about that because they he created a
11:34
lot of runs for that that offense and because the offense
11:37
was just historically bad for their standards last year.
11:40
And Albees and Riley are the probably the two more.
11:43
I'm concerned with them even more than Acuna getting back to
11:46
that level. Albees was thought of as a top
11:48
three second baseman in baseball for a while.
11:50
I love albees. Fell off badly.
11:52
Is there a bounce back candidate for him?
11:53
Maybe got fits what you're. Saying, yeah, so I'm, I'm just
11:56
like crazy with the fantasy baseball stuff.
11:58
I've been all over those two guys for a long time as well.
12:01
Was super into what the Braves did, building a franchise by
12:04
giving these longer deals with, you know, like medium amounts of
12:07
money, eating away some of those arbitration years so they can
12:10
keep some of these star players into their primes in the in
12:13
their late 20s, early 30s, which was one of the most genius
12:16
things anyone did. Riley's still very good.
12:18
His advanced numbers look good. Last year.
12:22
He just, he just didn't have a good season.
12:24
You know, I think he got banged up, but later on as well.
12:27
That guy's that guy can hit. He's always going to be able to
12:29
hit as long as his bad speed doesn't drop.
12:31
I think he's got another bunch of years of being a really good
12:33
player and he's he's solid defensively.
12:35
Alby's on the other hand, Darrell, his advanced numbers
12:38
don't look good at all and. You know how I.
12:41
Am you? Know how I am with these
12:42
advanced numbers? I'm not a.
12:43
Big no, I know. But it's like one of those where
12:45
it's like every year goes down, it's like one of those like slow
12:48
downhill trajectory With him, it's just gotten worse every.
12:50
Year like a Waldrip, right? Like a Waldrip.
12:53
But. He's a knuckleball.
12:54
Pitcher, and he's a. Velocity with him, but oh, he's
12:57
already hurts. Yeah, that's that's not ideal.
12:59
The Braves, what's always what's always good with them, though,
13:02
is they they at least find a pitcher that usually could
13:04
weather the storm. The pitching was not the problem
13:06
for most of the year for the Braves.
13:07
They were still top three, I believe, in ERA in the National
13:10
League, even in the first half of the season.
13:11
But their offense is just so bad.
13:13
So they have a good process of pitching that'll work.
13:15
And those other guys hitting. I think Sean Murphy's already
13:16
hurt too. Like Murphy's tore his labrum
13:19
and his leg. The a rod injury, that one he's
13:21
not coming back from and playing catcher anytime soon.
13:24
And Jerickson Profar was suspended for the season.
13:27
He was supposed to be probably their two hitter be hitting
13:30
behind Acuna, right? So that's not great.
13:33
Where I was getting it is as a result of the process they've
13:35
tried to do with getting these guys that all together their,
13:38
their farm system has really fizzled out.
13:40
And the upside, I don't know if it's there, if they have the
13:42
injuries the same. Way I completely disagree with
13:44
you guys. I think the Braves are a lot
13:46
better than you think they are. This.
13:48
I think they've had a lot of bad luck.
13:49
I, I think we all like their franchise.
13:52
I just think that they ran into like maybe more than a year of
13:57
really bad injury luck. It might be a year and a half
14:00
and I don't know if they're going to be good until the
14:01
second-half of the season. It might be too far back at that
14:04
point. And Chris Sell was one of the
14:05
best pitchers in baseball last year and he's coming back on a
14:08
one year deal. I think I, I, yes, we don't know
14:11
what Strider's going to be. And when he comes back, we'll
14:13
see how he fits in this rotation.
14:17
They also have two aces in their farm system, one of them they're
14:20
going to call up this year and another one they could put in
14:23
their bullpen. I really think the Braves are a
14:25
lot better than you guys make them out to be.
14:27
I think they're an 89 win team, 88 win team as well as I think
14:31
that's where the Mets are. I don't think the Mets break 90
14:33
wins this. Year.
14:34
No, I don't either. The Mets still have question
14:36
marks with so they're pitching depth.
14:37
They have a lot of these hybrid starter relievers, obviously
14:39
bringing Luke Weaver. Question marks remain with
14:42
somebody like Kodai Senga who had a great first two months and
14:44
then fell off a Cliff valley. I think he's going to have a.
14:46
Better. I think so too.
14:47
I think he has the upside chance that'll make it work the other.
14:50
He's the number four guy. Yeah, the other.
14:52
The other part of that trade with the Freddy Peralta trade
14:54
was Tobias Myers. Another guy could fill that role
14:56
very well. He pitched very well with the
14:57
Brewers in the first half of the year last year, kind of slipped
14:59
the last two months. But then you got Clay Holmes,
15:02
who's that same kind of role. And that's where I think that
15:05
management's going to come in because we talked about it with
15:07
a couple of our baseball guests. Carlos Mendoza, you would think
15:09
is as on the hottest seat of any manager in baseball right now
15:12
that got to keep his job. So if they start off slow and he
15:15
doesn't get that pitching going, is he going to lose his job
15:17
quickly? And.
15:18
That's what I don't understand. David Stearns, who's there?
15:22
He's the one who picked her name Mendoza, correct?
15:25
He's the one who brought him in. And this guy is still not on the
15:28
hot seat. He has made all these mistakes.
15:31
He's made trades, he's brought, he's traded away talent, young
15:35
talent. He brought in relief pitches at
15:37
the trade deadline last year that are now playing for other
15:40
teams and other organizations. You lost prospects then you I
15:43
think this trade for Peralta is great.
15:45
If they can resign them, are they going to resign them?
15:48
That's the question. Does he want to be a met?
15:50
That's and could you imagine losing Sprout Sprout and and and
15:54
one of their better hitters in their farm system?
15:56
I mean, think about it. These these are bad moves and,
16:00
and you look at the Mets right now, they overpaid for Beau
16:02
Bichette for third base. He's he's making more money than
16:07
Aaron Judge is making right now. Think about that.
16:11
You're paying a guy that's never played third base in his career
16:14
and he's making more money than the best player in baseball.
16:18
Yeah, You think about that, you have a lot of moving parts that
16:20
are going to be leaving two guys out of position pretty much
16:23
every line up. If they can get one of them
16:25
comfortable, fine. And that's on Mendoza and that's
16:27
on his staff to be able to make that kind of thing work to make
16:29
at least somebody comfortable. Now I would try to 3rd, 1st
16:32
because Simeon is very good at 2nd.
16:33
So you don't want to move have to move him if.
16:35
You. He's an old man, Speedy.
16:36
You treated him for Brandon Nimmo, who is 30 years old.
16:40
You took a guy. Yes, he's a Gold Glove winner.
16:43
He's 3637 years old. How many years does he have
16:46
left? And you're going to bet on this?
16:48
What happens? Let's say the Mets make the
16:51
playoffs this year. Or chokes.
16:53
What does the Stearns keep his job during the strike?
16:56
Oh God, no, really. Because Cohen's like, has a love
16:59
fest for him, just like somebody named James Dolan has for Chris
17:02
Drury. I would hope he's not that
17:04
irrational. There's some kind of love fest
17:06
for this guy, David Stearns. Oh, he's like a son to me.
17:08
Yeah, Yeah. He's also ruining your
17:10
organization. Yeah.
17:11
If you overpaid for Juan Soto. And Juan Soto was the only one
17:15
hitting at the tail end of the season.
17:16
Lindor fell off, Everybody fell off.
17:19
And, and this team was was one of the best National League
17:22
teams coming into the second, second-half and then completely
17:24
fell flat on their face like they always do.
17:26
Yeah, and there's a lot of prospects that are have a lot of
17:29
roles that are unknown, too. And the Mets do have a good farm
17:31
system. It's just a matter of putting
17:32
them in the right places. Ronnie Mauricio is another one
17:34
that's going to come back that seems position less.
17:36
Mark Vientos is going to be on the bench most of the year, I
17:38
would imagine, unless guys get hurt.
17:40
And baby, we talked about he's going to play the corner
17:42
outfield spot. He plays for his bait.
17:43
His batch should be in the lineup.
17:45
And then you got somebody like Louise Robert, who's an injury
17:47
question as well. Good, good player a couple years
17:49
ago, but he hasn't hit in a while either.
17:51
The Phillies are the most stable.
17:52
I agree with you when the division they didn't do much in
17:54
the offseason besides keep their own players and like the Braves
17:57
don't have a lot of prospect upside, but they were I was
18:00
worried they were to lose pretty much everyone.
18:01
I think they were the second biggest team against the cap
18:03
after the Dodgers at the start of the offseason.
18:05
They were able to keep, not that real much was the same player,
18:07
but they will keep him in Schwarber and still have that
18:10
kind of upside. And well, while they lost,
18:13
obviously Suarez Wheeler is expected to come back sooner
18:15
than rather than later, which is a big boost that I didn't think
18:18
they would have for the Phillies.
18:19
So yeah, I think the Phillies kind of like 90 wins.
18:21
I think the Mets kind of 88, The Braves kind of middle like 8485
18:24
something. Like that, All right, let's go
18:25
to the American League East and a lot of people have the Yankees
18:29
winning the East and probably the best team in the American
18:33
League. And I'm not saying this because
18:35
I'm a Yankee fan. I think the Yankees have a
18:38
roster that can win now, win a championship.
18:41
I don't know. We have to see if they can hit.
18:44
And we also have to see if Brian Cashman is going to make moves
18:47
at the trade deadline to juice up this lineup, which he
18:51
probably will. And I don't think Jazz Jism is
18:54
going to be a part of this organization at the trade
18:57
deadline. I think they're going to move
18:58
them, especially if he starts the season hot.
19:00
And I expect him to. Bellinger is a big piece to this
19:04
roster. He is a big piece.
19:07
Now my question is eventually this year, do they move
19:11
Bellinger full time to first base?
19:14
That's what I want to know because if Spencer Jones comes
19:16
up here, which I believe he will at some point this year, he's
19:20
proven himself on this roster during spring training that he
19:24
is quite capable of being a hitter in baseball.
19:27
Dominguez might fall out with this team.
19:31
And as far as this line up is concerned, Dominguez is a piece
19:35
that the Yankees can move at the trade deadline.
19:39
And do you trade Jazz, Jism or Chism, whatever you want to call
19:43
him? And do you trade a guy like
19:46
Dominguez who's a switch hitter or they call him the Martian?
19:49
Do you trade him for another big bat in this lineup, which quite,
19:52
quite possibly could happen? And here's another thing, they
19:56
gave Grissom A2 year extension. That is also a a questionable
20:02
move. Dwight was a two year extension.
20:03
Yeah, or or no, he took the qualifying.
20:05
Oh, he took the qualifying. One year, 22 million. 22
20:08
million, I think they overpaid for Grissom because to me if
20:11
Spencer Jones comes up and the way they're they're outfield is
20:16
set up and if Bellinger cause Goldschmidt still they signed
20:20
Goldschmidt. So Goldschmidt as long as he
20:22
stays healthy he could be the first baseman all season long.
20:26
What are they going to do with Grissom?
20:29
Because unless Aaron Judge is going to be ADH here and there,
20:32
and but they have, they have Carlos Grant, they have Carlos
20:37
Giancarlo Stanton, who is, is a guy that's going to get an
20:40
opportunity to get his, his whips at it.
20:42
And I and John Carlos Stanton has a lot to prove this year
20:44
because a lot of people think he's done.
20:46
He can't stay healthy. So I, there's a lot of questions
20:50
with the Yankees, but here's the reason why I don't think there's
20:53
any question to the Yankees. This pitching staff is elite.
20:58
When this pitching staff is at full strength by June, at the
21:02
end of June with Garrett, Cole, Max Freed, Schmidt, Schlittler,
21:09
Rodon and heal, when they have these guys and even Adam Warren,
21:16
this this rotation is the best rotation you can argue in
21:20
baseball and that's how good this rotation is going to be.
21:24
Schlittler could be the number 2 before Cole comes back because
21:28
he could be the number one. He's pitching so well and they
21:30
have this kid. Rodriguez, though, a lot of
21:32
people believe the Yankees are going to call up at sometime
21:35
this year, either in the bullpen or part of this rotation.
21:38
It's just another arm they're going to add to that rotation
21:40
that they got from the Red Sox in a trade.
21:43
That's why I think the Yankees now Weathers was a great move by
21:47
Brian Cashman because what they're going to do with
21:50
Weathers is they're going to stick them in the bullpen.
21:52
He could become their 8th in a guy or their long relief or he
21:55
could even be their closer. So there's a lot to to like
22:00
about the Yankees and what they did even or what it wasn't like
22:03
a slam dunk. It wasn't like rose petals and
22:07
and and marriage for the Yankees or what they did in the
22:10
offseason and Yankee fans were not excited about what they did.
22:13
The Yankees did more than enough by Anning Bellinger and giving
22:16
him that extension and not over, over, you know, exaggerating
22:20
with the the deal that he was looking to get him and his
22:23
stupid Mr. Boras, his stupid agent who likes to, you know,
22:27
RIP people off. But as far as the American
22:30
League East, it's pretty simple. The Orioles are not winning 85
22:33
games. There is no way this team is
22:35
winning 85 games. It's a crazy number.
22:38
I can't believe the number was 85.
22:40
I would believe 75 if you believe.
22:42
It you, if you're a betting man and you want to make some money,
22:45
I bet this. There's no way this team is
22:47
winning 85 games. There's no way.
22:49
Oreos, No, I would bet for the Oreos, Yeah, that that's a good
22:52
bet. They're they're not winning 85,
22:54
they're not winning 80 games. This is going to be.
22:56
Red Sox? No, that's another story.
22:58
Now here's the thing. I don't know if you're a Red Sox
23:01
fan, but I'll tell you about their roster, what I like about
23:05
their roster. They they Duran is a good
23:08
player. Roman Anthony is a great player.
23:10
They've got pieces. They added Ranger Suarez.
23:13
Their their rotation, I mean, is pretty, pretty good man.
23:16
I, I, they added some, you know, bats to this line up and they
23:20
added some pitching to this line up.
23:22
This is this is going to be a good team this year. 87 games.
23:27
I think they win 88 games this year.
23:29
I think they win 8889 games this year.
23:31
I think they're a lot better. I'd I would go over that number.
23:34
The Blue Jays, I think they win no more than 88 games, no more
23:40
than 88 games. I don't care what they've added
23:42
in the offseason. They added some bats to this
23:44
line up and and they've added a pitcher who Dylan sees, I don't
23:49
bet. On Dylan sees for anything, he's
23:50
got weird splits. And here's another thing, he's
23:52
coming into the American League East, the American League East.
23:56
You're playing against top end power line UPS.
24:01
I wouldn't bet on Dylan sees pitching as well as well as he
24:04
was pitching for San Diego the last year.
24:06
I as a matter of fact, I think Dylan sees as a has an off year
24:10
and I think this pitching staff which looked really, really good
24:13
throughout the second-half of the season in the playoffs, I
24:16
think they're not as good this year as they were last year.
24:19
Yeah. It's.
24:20
One of those Staffs that has a lot of the same types of
24:22
pitchers, a lot of veteran pitchers that are high strikeout
24:24
guys and throughout their career.
24:26
You look at Goss men, you look at Jose Marios and obviously
24:29
Serz are bringing him back. It's always been like that.
24:31
But they've also been susceptible to the home rumble
24:33
and Cease is another prime example of that.
24:35
And I worry about that kind of thing too.
24:36
For a guy giving him a giving him a seven-year deal.
24:38
It's also had injury problems and his 30.
24:40
So I think the the process that the Blue Jays had is getting
24:44
enough depth to withstand the injuries, which I think is good.
24:47
But I do question a lot of the things with their pitching staff
24:49
as well. Their bullpen was fine.
24:51
It's usually a streaky kind of thing year to year.
24:53
We'll see what they're line up to.
24:54
They had a lot of rotational guys.
24:55
Can they get the same kind of creativity going with them with
24:58
that level of depth? And I will say this, there are
25:01
not many great teams in the American League.
25:04
There really isn't there there. There could be an up and down
25:06
season. And that's why I think the
25:08
Yankees knew that they were going to be in the driver's seat
25:10
getting their call back. Because even with not as many
25:15
additions to this lineup, their pitching staff is going to keep
25:18
the games close. And the Yankees are not going to
25:20
have to score six or seven runs like they used to.
25:23
The Yankees are just going to have to score four to five runs
25:27
and and the Yankees are going to win a lot of games.
25:30
Now, I don't know if they're going to win scoring four or
25:32
five runs, you know, 90 games. They're going to have to put up
25:36
more runs in certain games. But the Yankees have the power.
25:39
I think Spencer Jones is going to be very, very important.
25:43
His development this year, what we saw in spring training and
25:46
calling him up and letting Brian Cashman dead against what he
25:51
said. And I, I'll tell you this, Brian
25:52
Cashman saying what he said just pissed off Spencer Jones.
25:56
And I think Spencer Jones is proving everybody wrong about
25:59
what kind of. Talent.
26:00
You know what he did today? What did he do?
26:02
2 for two. Two home runs, three RB is.
26:05
One of them was off of Phil Matan, one of their late innings
26:10
Mets legend, one of the better late inning relievers you.
26:14
Know what I said about him, just so everybody knows my take, all
26:19
everybody knows about my take about Spencer Johns.
26:22
I'm going to tell you guys, I told you so I'm going to you
26:25
guys can kiss my feet. All you Yankee fans, I told you
26:30
guys that this guy is going to be a 3540 home run hitter.
26:34
He's going to and I'm going to tell you this even and I'm going
26:37
to throw even another curveball. This guy could win Rookie of the
26:40
year in the American League this year.
26:42
That's what I think he's going to be.
26:43
And he's going to show you guys that when he gets on base, he's
26:46
going to steal bases. He's faster than Aaron Judge.
26:48
He has the ability to run. He's got a tremendous athletic
26:52
ability. He's A5 tool player.
26:54
His outfield skills, he can play multiple positions in the
26:57
outfield. And some people believe he's
26:59
just as athletic to play first base, too.
27:03
So he might be the future 1st baseman for the New York
27:06
Yankees. He very much could be.
27:08
Yeah. So And I would say they have
27:09
enough. Organizational depth, I think to
27:11
withstand a lot of the things. They got a good farm system.
27:14
I was going to say they have, they have a farm system that
27:16
shot up in the rankings from last year.
27:17
They were a lot of people were worried about some of their
27:19
prospect development issues, but again, they still got to finish
27:22
the process in developing. Habra Lombard he he he could be
27:25
called up this. Year, I was going to say, if
27:26
Chisholm is traded like you think it could happen, Yeah,
27:28
that probably is going to happen.
27:30
They had the solution though, and then they screwed it up and
27:33
now that solution is playing third base for the Red Sox.
27:36
His name is Caleb Durbin and they gave him to Milwaukee for
27:39
Devin Williams. And how much Devin Williams
27:42
sucked. Durbin left.
27:44
It was then sent in a trade over to, yes, of course, the frickin
27:49
Red Sox. And now I have to deal with him.
27:51
He should have been. No, we got.
27:53
We got should. Have been our middle infielder.
27:55
Stop. And we got and we got Elma
27:57
Rodriguez. I'm not worried about that.
27:58
We got that from the Red Sox. So one crossed over a guy that
28:02
throws 103 mph. I think I'd go with the pitcher
28:05
instead of the hitter. That's fine.
28:07
And like there's other young pitchers, LaGrange look good
28:10
until today. He got lit up today, but they
28:13
have a lot of really good young arms.
28:14
I just, I just don't really like the whole, oh, we don't need to
28:18
add anybody. We're good.
28:20
That's that was. Cashman's approach?
28:22
This offseason, and it's unsettling.
28:24
Fish here. Here's why it's not unsettling
28:26
if you're a Yankee fan, you want to see the young players come up
28:29
and you want to see the Spencer Jones or the Dominguez's develop
28:33
or the Lombard right. Am I spelling it Lombard coming
28:37
up and and and being yeah the the future shortstop or moving
28:40
Volpe 8 a second because I'm going to tell you guys this
28:42
right now. Volpe is going to have a better
28:43
season this year. I'm telling you right now, Volpe
28:46
will be better this year. I don't know if he hits more
28:48
than two 5260, but if you can get that from your shortstop and
28:51
he can give you 20 home runs like he did last year and give
28:54
you about 60-70 RB is you're taking it.
28:57
And he's he's a pretty good for you know, good pretty good
29:00
shortstop per second baseman. If Lombard comes gets called up
29:03
if Chisholm is gone. I I'm telling you guys right
29:05
now, you do not want to see the Yankees bring in veteran guys
29:10
and lose their thoughts to their their young talent in their farm
29:14
system. And that's the problem.
29:16
That was the problem with Brian Cashman for years.
29:18
He would trade away pieces and some of them didn't develop.
29:21
As a matter of fact, the majority of them didn't develop.
29:25
Whitlock did he? He developed.
29:28
He developed out of all the guys that they traded in that ace
29:30
trade and which was an absolute debacle.
29:33
And now he's a Red Sock. But Whitlock developed in a very
29:36
good reliever. So he didn't look good at the
29:38
WBC, but you know, enough said on that.
29:41
But the fact here is, if you're a Yankee fan, you want Brian
29:45
Cashman to believe that the talent is there in his farm
29:48
system. Because if those guys are going
29:51
to be called up, you have more control.
29:53
You can take the money that you would invest into a veteran
29:57
superstar player and then go after a young player that
30:00
becomes available in the next one or two years and put the
30:03
money into him where you have them for eight or nine years at
30:06
a high level. I'm not worried about the
30:08
Yankees and the Yankees. Yankees.
30:10
My question to the Yankees is what do they do with Jazz
30:13
Chisholm? That's what I want to know, what
30:14
they're going to do. Are they going to keep them?
30:17
Are they going to pay them? Are they going to move them at
30:19
the trade deadline and get as much as you possibly can for
30:22
them? Maybe put them in a trade with
30:24
somebody else and get a star young player to be either your
30:27
future shortstop, your second baseman, or maybe 1/3 baseman,
30:32
which the Yankees have lacked ever since Alex Rodriguez.
30:36
Yeah, they they definitely have the assets I think to make a big
30:38
bat type of trade if they know they're not going to keep
30:40
judges. And you're right, those contract
30:41
demands are absolutely ridiculous.
30:43
Him wanting 35 million a year on A7 year deal for he's never
30:46
getting 20. Got to be 20. 9 Nobody's paying
30:47
him. Yeah, those are going to be
30:49
ridiculous. You could definitely could see
30:50
him Dominguez maybe another pitching prospect in a big move
30:53
for one of those All Star caliber.
30:54
Remember Torres? Remember Torres?
30:56
Torres, I. Remember you were raving about
30:57
him when he came up. He was good and he was very good
31:00
playoff player Yankees. And then he became available and
31:03
he was a free agent and he was still fairly young, 26 years old
31:07
and he thought he was going to get a big deal from the Yankees
31:10
and the Yankees said go find another deal and where did he
31:12
go? He signed a one year deal to
31:16
Detroit and now I think he's still with Detroit.
31:18
He extended himself or no, Detroit didn't extend him.
31:21
They gave him. No, I brought him back.
31:22
Yeah, but they didn't give him a deal.
31:23
They gave him something else like a pay in deal, like a play
31:27
in deal this year that he has to put up or shut up or they're not
31:30
going to give him an extension. He got the qualifying.
31:34
The qualifying, that's what it was, which is.
31:36
He's got one more year. He's 28.
31:40
That allows him to avoid the free agency market and probably
31:43
make more money than he would have made one year. 22 point
31:45
something million. Very.
31:46
It's basically the Trent Grisham deal, which is interesting you
31:49
mentioned that because I would imagine Trent Grisham has to be
31:53
traded because he's blocking Spencer Jones and Jason
31:57
Dominguez. So like he has to be traded and
32:01
probably one of those guys is going to be traded as well.
32:04
I agree with you. I, I really hope Dominguez is
32:07
the one that gets traded, not Spencer Jones.
32:09
I think you get more for Dominguez because he's younger
32:11
and I think people are selling Jones short right now.
32:14
There's his age and the strikeout rate.
32:16
They're not selling, but I'm telling you, they're not
32:19
selling. Spencer Jones.
32:20
You could book. It so so then what do they do?
32:23
Because so you say Jazz is expiring this year.
32:25
It's a one year deal for him. He's probably not coming back.
32:28
He's going to want a lot, but you move him.
32:30
Trent Grisham's probably not a guy you move in that deal
32:32
probably because he's a big contract.
32:34
You're probably going to try to get a reliever for him or
32:36
something in a separate thing if you need one.
32:39
But you're absolutely right. If you got you got Dominguez
32:43
sitting there and you got Jazz Chisholm, that should get you a
32:46
huge return. It should get you a huge return.
32:50
And where do we put that return? If Volpe can't play short, it
32:54
has to be a shortstop. And if you don't trust, Lumbar's
32:58
going to be a. 100% they trust, they trust.
33:00
But what if they want lumbar to be second and they can get like
33:03
an elite, elite guy who's also really good defensively to play
33:06
short? I don't know who would be.
33:08
I'm just saying in general you'd be OK with that because now you
33:11
have great up the middle defense.
33:12
So you don't care if you have to move a shortstop to second.
33:15
Now you're great in the middle of the defense.
33:17
Or do you move a guy or you just try to get a third base bat
33:20
because there's more? I think that's the way they go.
33:22
And I'm going to tell you this, Manny Machado could become
33:25
available this year. I think San Diego is going to
33:28
try to move pieces. They they've invested too much
33:30
money into guys like Tatis. And, and I don't, I don't know
33:34
if anybody's going to be interested in bringing Tatis in,
33:36
even with the steroid situation that he's had in the past.
33:40
Manny Machado has another I think 4 years left on his
33:43
contract. The Yankees are clearing
33:46
contracts with Giancarlo Stanton in the next year.
33:48
They can buy him out at the end of the year.
33:50
They can take Manny Machado, move Manny Machado the third
33:53
base. He always wanted to be Yankee,
33:54
grew up a Yankee fan and I think that would solidify their third
33:57
base position, which they haven't really had since Alex
34:01
Rodriguez. Let's be honest, They they've
34:03
tried to add players all these years.
34:06
Cabrera's played there. It just hasn't worked and I
34:09
think. That is that enough for Machado?
34:11
No. They're going to move all the.
34:12
Guys Jason, Jason Dominguez, Jazz, Chisholm, what else?
34:18
Would you need to get and a prospect and a prospect?
34:20
And maybe a pitching prospect. A prospect, yeah.
34:23
You're not going to have to give up much because you have to take
34:25
his contract on. So I, I think I could see Manny
34:29
Machado being a name that could be talked about, especially if
34:32
San Diego starts slow this year. And, and I think they could
34:36
because, because the division is so good and you look at I think
34:41
the Diamondbacks are going to be a lot better than people think
34:43
they're going to be. I.
34:44
Say that's been unlucky with injury.
34:45
I love the Diamondback station. I wouldn't even be surprised if
34:48
they're just as good as the Dodgers this year, that's how.
34:51
I got a Diamondbacks name for you to remember.
34:54
He's a pitcher. Ryan Nelson.
34:56
Yes, I've been hearing. Full Nelson A.
34:57
Lot of people tell Full Nelson he's going to go to the Full
35:00
Nelson this year. He's going to be one of the
35:01
better pitchers. I like, I like.
35:03
What is it? Wet Trip?
35:04
What is his name? I like that name.
35:06
Waldrip. Waldrip.
35:07
That's it. Waldrip I like.
35:08
Waldrip I'm going to get. I'm going to get his jersey.
35:11
I'm going to get Waldrip. That's.
35:15
It fish. What did Java say?
35:16
He's like the last like half knuckleballer in the league.
35:19
Waldrip. Yeah.
35:20
Something like that, I don't remember.
35:23
All of those Braves pitchers are heard, but I don't know, look,
35:26
the Yankees, they have a Waldrip make and they without making a
35:30
move, they might be good enough, but they have the assets to make
35:34
the move, so they should win. And I do agree, I don't think
35:36
Toronto did enough. A lot of people like Okamoto.
35:39
I know you love his name. Okamoto.
35:43
Okamoto, they say he's supposed to be pretty good.
35:44
He's probably he's supposed to be the best of the Japanese guys
35:47
that came over this year. So, and I believe in the Easter
35:49
Bunny. Let's go.
35:50
All right, ladies and gentlemen, a final segment of the night is
35:53
what's that smell? Hold up, what is that smell?
35:57
What's right smell? Wow, you don't see that
36:05
everyday. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
36:07
it's pretty simple how you play this game.
36:09
It it's a game. Everything on the show could be
36:12
a game. And if you want it to stick to
36:13
the wall, well, you better make it stick.
36:15
So it's very simple. We're going to tell you a story
36:18
that's happened in the world of sports or something that is
36:22
particular and we're going to tell you what it smells like.
36:25
So tonight we're going to go with Tommy Speedy Fish.
36:32
Q me. Here we go, all.
36:36
Right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to be starting off going
36:39
to the. Ladies and gentlemen.
36:41
Austra Men's. Basketball, not just.
36:43
Men's basketball Errol mentioned a little bit earlier, but.
36:46
Smell my ass. You know, I'm going to keep it
36:48
nice and sweet only for the fact that although this team did of
36:51
course blow. So I started.
36:53
Tumbling once. This team was up 12 points,
36:55
played really well in the first half, but also ultimately lost
36:58
20 points. I got to hand it to them, this
37:00
team did absolutely everything that they needed to do.
37:03
Looking at this team before the season even started, there was a
37:06
lot of questions. Even last season, all around
37:08
campus, all anybody would talk about was.
37:10
Is this the last? Time that Speedy Claxton is
37:12
going to be on the team. Or is it a better move to keep
37:14
Speedy Claxton with them and Speedy Claxton sitting in on
37:18
their practices, having the chance to talk to some of these
37:21
students, knowing how hard they work, knowing how some of them
37:23
transfer just to get the opportunity to play under Speedy
37:26
Claxton. You have Preston Ed meet a Long
37:29
Island native who stayed in Long Island as long as he can just so
37:32
that he could play over there in Hofstra for Mr. Speedy Claxton.
37:37
I got to say I got to hand it to them.
37:39
I got to I got to tip my hat off to them.
37:41
Everything they deserve everything that they get this
37:43
season, this season, they did everything that they needed to
37:46
and it really paid off. They won the CIA championship
37:50
and really the atmosphere and everything around them couldn't
37:53
have been any more better. So although that, like I said,
37:56
the alternative didn't end up happening the way we wanted it
37:58
to, at least the first run when would have been happening first
38:01
round exit. Look, all you could say is that
38:03
so proud of this team. Hats off.
38:05
And it smells like the flowers that Speedy Claxton and the rest
38:08
of this team truly deserve. A neutral on a Bush and don't
38:11
want to think about it. Now I do not want to think about
38:13
it. I don't know.
38:14
About a Bush. I don't know how that would.
38:15
Smell. I don't know.
38:16
Yeah. I'm going to say Speedies, He
38:20
hasn't trimmed that Bush in his, you know his his time being on
38:23
this earth, right, Speedy? No, I'm not.
38:28
You know, maybe we quit, you know, Quentin, maybe we need to
38:31
take him to a Brazilian waxing. What do you think?
38:36
No good answer, no man let you do my buzz speedy like that.
38:42
Yeah. Are you going to buzz him then?
38:45
No. Might need a machete.
38:49
Another college basketball coach that maybe is in more hot water
38:52
than Speedy Claxon. He actually did a good job with
38:55
not a lot of money. Someone who didn't do a good job
38:57
with a lot of money. That was Mark Pope with
38:59
Kentucky, and guess what he decides to say after they lose
39:03
badly to Iowa State? Oh, at least my tenure at
39:06
Kentucky so far has been better. Than.
39:08
The John Calipari era. OK, yeah, maybe technically,
39:12
literally, that could be true. They did lose the Saint Peters.
39:14
I had them winning it all that year 15.
39:16
They lost 15. You can see they missed the
39:18
tournament a year after COVID. Well, let's see how he's done
39:21
since Arkansas been there. You guys went to the same round
39:24
as Arkansas last year as a three seed while they were a 10 seed.
39:28
And now this year you're eliminated first while Arkansas
39:30
has headed to the Sweet 16. And also you have a $22 million
39:36
NIL budget for your basketball team this year, which is the
39:38
highest in college basketball this year.
39:41
And you could only get to the second round and didn't have a
39:42
great record. And now you're just going to
39:44
throw shade at Calipari's past for how you got a job.
39:47
Great job, Mark Pope. So what does it smell like?
39:49
It smells like the decay of 22,000,000 dead priests playing
39:54
in playing basketball. Can't wait.
39:58
Dead priests playing basketball. Had to do a Pope.
40:00
Reference. Oh, the Pope.
40:04
Reference. I guess we're staying with a lot
40:08
of college basketball coaches tonight, Errol.
40:10
Yeah, I think we are. I'm going to Villanova because
40:14
we've already talked about him once this basketball season.
40:17
I believe he was on the show before I joined Mr. Kevin
40:20
Willard, head coach of Will. And no, he wasn't.
40:23
No, he's mentioned he was something about him.
40:26
But regardless, he made some viral comments in the middle of
40:31
the Wildcats loss to Utah State on Friday in the first round.
40:37
I don't so like when I went to become a teacher, the first
40:42
thing that you have to sit through all these courses that
40:45
tell you how you're supposed to act as a teacher, and one person
40:48
actually came in and said never be sarcastic to kids.
40:52
Never. It's the worst thing.
40:54
Well, apparently that's how they've been teaching people and
40:57
they've grown up not to understand sarcasm.
40:59
Kevin Willard apparently at halftime told TNT's Sports
41:04
Lauren Shahati, I'm going to fire my staff.
41:07
Yeah, I am, because we've given up eight points on underneath,
41:09
out of bounds defense. The only thing I'm going to do
41:12
is fire them and get a new staff.
41:14
I was. I'm sorry.
41:14
That was early in the first half.
41:16
After the game, he doubled down on the exact comments.
41:20
Yeah, I'm probably going to have to make some changes to my staff
41:22
just because of how bad we were. The next reporter asked him.
41:26
You just mentioned making stuffed changes to your staff.
41:29
He goes, It's a joke. Well, that's what I wanted to
41:32
ask you about. You gave an interview during the
41:34
game. It went viral.
41:35
You've been pretty. You've been criticized heavily
41:38
online, he said. I don't care.
41:40
Welcome to my life. Breaking news, I'm putting you
41:44
on a leash now. What does that smell like?
41:48
It smells great. It's I need Britney also.
41:50
You wouldn't believe how good this smells.
41:53
It's the one of the greatest smells of all time.
41:55
Speedy. 'S mom.
41:57
It's the smell of sarcasm. They call me the ladies man and
42:01
Mr. Still your girl. Yeah, I'm just stay in my
42:04
warehouse. Joe Mozzola for coach of the
42:07
Year this year. He's done it.
42:10
I just had one coaching a month. I want to make sure I have add
42:14
that he's coaching the system. You guys know how much I love
42:17
systems. I don't do the stars, I do the
42:19
systems. And so he's been a tremendous
42:24
coach this year in regards to getting the winds, getting guys
42:27
to play into the system and overall being I think we're at
42:31
second or third in the East. What is wheat?
42:34
Who is wheat? 2000 and 2627 NBA championship
42:41
roses really smell like. Crap.
42:47
Would you put the Rose on your cake?
42:51
Roses. Put the honey.
42:53
First of all, roses smell like crap.
42:55
OK, so everybody's smell the roses.
42:57
Smell the roses. It's garbage.
43:00
I'd rather smell a Daisy than a rose.
43:02
And it smells like COO COO cooch.
43:08
That's the difference in carpets.
43:09
It. Was horny tonight.
43:12
Get out of. Here only tonight.
43:16
Breaking news. I farted.
43:18
Breaking news all. Right, my final.
43:21
What's that smell goes to Danny Hurley?
43:24
Wait until you love this story. Well, it is a story.
43:28
Tom Izzo has turned down multiple opportunities in
43:31
coaching jobs in the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the
43:34
Atlanta Hawks. When Los Angeles were willing to
43:37
pay Uconn's coach Dan Hurley a six year, $70 million contract
43:42
in 2024, Hurley asked Izzo for advice and Izzo told him.
43:48
I told him seriously, look at it because I could see where
43:51
college basketball was going, Izzo told the Associate Press on
43:55
Monday. But I said I would hate to lose
43:58
him because I think he's all what's right in college
44:01
basketball right now. So think about it, guys.
44:07
Tom Izzo is the reason why. Yes, Danny Hurley didn't take
44:12
that job. It was Tom Izzo that was the one
44:15
that spread his wings, spread his petals, as our friend Q
44:21
would say, you know, smell the roses.
44:23
As you would say I I wouldn't smell the roses, I'd be smelling
44:26
diarrhea. But nevertheless, this story
44:30
only tells me one thing, that Tom Izzo was jealous that Danny
44:36
Hurley was being offered a six year, 70 million dollar, $70
44:41
million contract from the Los Angeles Lakers and he wanted the
44:45
job, so he told Danny not to take it.
44:50
That's what I would think. I, I don't know, but it is a
44:53
pretty interesting story. I'm interested to hear what
44:56
Danny Hurley thought about that take after he talked to the
45:01
Associate Press. But nevertheless, what does it
45:05
smell like? It smells like the Celtics are
45:08
going to lose in the second round against the Knicks.
45:11
That's what it smells. Like must be stuffy, must be
45:13
stopped. Up.
45:13
Well, you know, I'm, I am stuffy.
45:16
Stuffy in many different ways. That's, well, you know, it's,
45:20
it's somewhere in the other side of my rear end, if you know what
45:23
I mean. There it is.
45:25
What's that difference? Yeah, that's true.
45:26
What is the difference, Speedy? That kind of looks good.
45:29
You actually look good in that picture, Speedy.
45:31
And why am I always the one singing Q is DJ Q?
45:36
Says that they never get me right with facial features.
45:40
I told it to make. I told it to make.
45:43
Q Doctor Dre, you, Eminem and Speedy Exhibit from the What's
45:48
the Difference music video. Speedy doesn't look like
45:50
Exhibit, but it's a good try here.
45:54
What's the difference between? Me and.
45:56
You. I'm going to smack Speedy right
45:58
in the back of the head. Right, Speedy.
46:00
Speedy, give us a good one tonight.
46:02
Speedy, give me a favor, Do me a favor.
46:04
Do me a favor. Give us a Billy Joel song before
46:06
we go. Bottle of red, bottle of wine.
46:13
Well, the kind of mood you're in tonight.
46:18
Anything you want in an Italian restaurant.
46:31
I love. It way to end the night.
46:33
That was. Good, that was good way to end
46:40
the night. Yeah, he definitely knows how to
46:41
hit a note, that's for sure. Imagine if a girl gets him in
46:44
the right place, if you know what I mean.
46:46
You're. Going to imagine that all you
46:49
want. Thank you to all the fans that
46:52

47:18
So for all the fans out there, it is called now the New York
47:22
sports loudmouth. We will continue moving forward
47:24
with the name new show. It's the same show but kind of
47:27
new content. We got a new Co host on the show
47:30
and Quinton Coppols and Q is going to add a different type of
47:33
personality to the show and obviously arguing and debating
47:37
and pissing me off, which he's done quite a few times, Yeah.
47:40
He's taken on the Mikey C roll very well so far.
47:42
You know, you know somebody needs.
47:46
Do you want to jerk me off? Or something of that magnitude.
47:49
Hopefully they stay away from that.
47:50
Or a lot of hot ladies. Well, they're somebody that
47:53
likes. Give me that chicken Curry.
47:55
Chicken Curry. Anyways, that's it for our show,
47:57
so thank you to all the fans. Who do we have on?
47:59
Thursdays. All right, returning to the show
48:00
you wanted to come back on during March Madness.
48:02
I tried to get him on last week. He couldn't do it, but our
48:04
friend Dan Purcell will be back on president of Scout Central
48:06
and a former Pelicans executive. He'll be coming on at 8:30.
48:09
This guy knows everything about the talent that's coming out of
48:14
this year's draft class. As a matter of fact, four years
48:16
ago he came on the show and he told us about this draft class
48:19
and he told us watch out for 2026 and 2027 on the talent
48:25
that's coming out. And he said 2026 is the best
48:28
class since LeBron James's class.
48:31
So. And I would love to hear his
48:33
take on Cam Boozer, Peterson and the Beza and where he thinks
48:38
these guys are going to fall and who does he think is going to be
48:42
the better player in the NBA. So very interesting.
48:47
It'll be fun to get into that conversation with him on
48:50
Thursday. Well, we've got three days
48:53
before Thursday, or actually 2, and we got a lot of news, ladies
48:58
and gentlemen, and a lot more to get into.
49:00
And we have the Sweet 16 starting Thursday.
49:02
So eventually everybody's going to see my number and my name on
49:06
top of the board because Quinton Coppols is going to dip and I
49:11
will rise and I will tell. You, I told him before it
49:13
happened, man. I told you it wasn't.
49:15
Good. I just want to let you know who
49:16
won. I just want you to know who won
49:19
the bracket last year, buddy. I did, I did, and I'm going to
49:23
win this year till so you can kiss my rear.
49:26
Just so you know, there's nothing to do with well,
49:29
actually it's all lock. But you're right.
49:31
Good luck to me, even though I don't believe in luck, I believe
49:34
in. Butt plug.
49:36
Anyways, that's it for our show. Ladies and gentlemen.
49:38
We'll talk to you Thursday. Good night, it.
49:41
Is the worldwide sports radio network.
