  Speaker 2: hour from baseball Now. I could have done another monologue
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: about cal Raley hitting his fiftieth home run the Mariners
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: beat the Padres, but they decided we've already touched cal
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Raley's success in a previous steps. The story that caught
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: my attention in baseball is from Anaheim. Now that is shocking, right,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Who the hell cares about the Angels. That's a morbid franchise.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: They blow this good story though. Angels manager Ron Washington,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: who's on sabbatical. Ron Washington revealed that he is recovering.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: We now know why he was way. Ron Washington had
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: quadruple bypass.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of a big deal.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Like that's a big I mean, that is a rip
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you open and operation for a long time, and he
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: had heart surgery, triple bypass art surgery. So if he
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: didn't see this, maybe you missed it. Ron Washington made
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: an appearance the Angels Traveling Circus in Arlington, and for
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the first time he publicly addressed the health issue and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: then why he was away. Has been gone since late June.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Here we are in late August. Washington made the anascement
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: while visiting the Angel clubhouse in Texas.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: He lives.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: His offseason home is in New Orleans, where he has
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: been recovering from his situation. He said he looked forward
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to recovering and the operation was eight weeks ago in California.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And he's not coming back this year. Why would you?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: This season ended for the Angels about the time that
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Ron Washington left the dugout, so he's not returning to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: manage the very mediocre Angel team, but hopes to have
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the opportunity to come back and manage the team again
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He says.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Doctors say he'll be fully recovered Ron Washington from triple
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: bypass surgery in December. So that's a good jump off point.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Let us discuss question, should Ron Washington return to manage
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the Angels in twenty twenty six or after that triple
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: bypass surgery? Is this the perfect opportunity for Arti Marino
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and the Angels to yet again hit the reset button
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and bring in some other Jabbroni to be the Angel's manager.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So in this one, I've got Marvel Universe, Yosemite, sam
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and mind tricks, and we will combine all of these
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: things together and we're gonna make the gobbaool. We're gonna
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: make the gobbagool, just like Mama would make the gobagoo.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: All right, So first of all, answer the question. You
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: make the call Arti Marinos to come back to get
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: rid of him. He's in his seventies. He's the oldest
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: management in baseball. I would bring him back. I'm gonna
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: be Benny Bright said on this one again, Wash, you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: know what he's like. He's like the cool uncle, like
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the cool uncle who's seen everything. He just lived a
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: full life and all this, And I mean you think
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: about Washington in baseball. He was playing in the nineteen
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: seventies when everyone was on anfetamines.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: They call them greenies.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: They were on phetamines in the nineteen seventies and the eighties.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: In the seventies they were doing greenies. In the eighties
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they were snorting coke. In the nineties, they were doing steroids.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: In the two thousand, you had the whole money ball thing,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: they were still doing steroids. But in the two thousands,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that's the cool uncle, like He's lived through all of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that stuff in baseball, all of it. And if baseball
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: had a Marvel universe, Washington would be like Nick Fury
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: right with a fun go back, just walking around telling
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: stories and all. And he is absolutely beloved. He's absolutely beloved.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Every player swears by Ron Washington. He's been gone from
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Atlanta for a couple of years, and the brave players
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: are we wish we had Ron Washington.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: He love him.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Every baseball scribes got ten Ron Washington stories, unless they're
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: new then they only have five. And he's he's one
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: of the last. He's not the last, but he's one
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of the last old school baseball guys. Although he's forced
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to do the whole analytical bull crap. But I'm talking
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: old school, I'm talking cigars, bourbon, you know.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Bad back, bad knee, bad heart.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: And yet he is still sharper at baseball than all
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: these forty year old dudes who are managing teams.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: He just gets.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And and it's not Listen, if the Angels were this
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: close to being a good team, I'd be like, oh,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: this is a good time to change managers. But it's
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: not like the Angels have any reason to dump Ron
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Washington because they're about to turn things around.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: They're not even rebuilding. I don't know what they're doing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're just they're they're they're just it's it's
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: we talked about the floating thing of trash out in
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the Pacific. That's the Angels. There's no oxygen. It's it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: like gravity. They're just kind of just I don't know
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: what's going on. And so when the doctors clear him,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: if I'm already Marino, I bring him back, because, hey,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: your team stinks. We all know that the Angels stink.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: You're not a contender, you're not even a pretender. You're
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: just kind of there. And at least you've got a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: good storyteller. So that's kind of cool. He's an ambassador.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: The Angels suck, but Ron Washington's a cool guy. He's
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a spokesman. It's like having Morgan Freeman narrate a ninety
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: loss baseball team. It makes it more compelling. I said, well,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that's kind of more interesting. And I was like, yeah,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you're not watching the Angels because you want to see
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: them in the standings and move up the standings and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: all that. Even Ferg Dog told me that off the record.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: He won't say that on the record, but off the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: record he told me that you're watching, maybe you'll hear
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a funny Ron Washington story, you know, some amusing antidote
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: or something like that. But back in the day when
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: he was managing the Dominican Republican and there was a
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: big storm there and there was only one light bulb
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: in the clubhouse and it burned out, and then they
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: had to light a match on a candle and they
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: had to they by candlelight, and then they know they
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: didn't have anything to.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Eat, and all those stories.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: That is better content than anything anything that they're doing
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: on the field. The Angels need him, and you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: baseball is better when they have guys like Ron Washington,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: because the next couple of generations, a lot of those
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: guys are pretty boring and they're just they're buttoned up
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Now, Secondly, we go to Saint Louis and I was
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: flipping around the baseball games last night, and somehow I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: stopped on the Cardinal Pirates game, don't ask me why,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and I saw this. I said, well, that's kind of cool,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and then it went viral. Cardinals first baseman Wilson Contreras.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: He might not know who that is.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Wilson Contrera's he in the seventh inning I believe it
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: was the seventh inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wilson Contreras
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: began he was at in the battles box and was
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: called out. He began walking towards the team's dugout. The
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Redbirds dug out. There was wrung up on a pitch
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: that if you looked at the TV box, the strikes
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: on box on television, it was a strike on the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: on the TV broadcast. And so he walked back and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: then he began to look back at the home plate umpire.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Somebody named Derek Thomas. It's a generic name. I remember
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: he had a good career in the NFL years ago.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: The umpire then ejected Wilson Contrellers get out of here.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: And then boy, it was like Jack in the box.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: This thing popped open and it was on.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: It was on. So question, what did you make?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: What did you make of the Cardinals first baseman Wilson
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Contreras being given the boot in very dramatic fashion in
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: a random game on a random night, a random random
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Monday into it Tuesday now, So this was with Ras Mataz.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: It was styling the most looney Tunes old school ejection
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: that I have seen in some time. And for those
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: of you that are blind or just chose not to
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: waste your eyeballs on watching this game. So Contreras gets
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: called out, he walks to the dugout. Then he turns
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: around like there's something that was said, and then he
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: chucks in the middle of this brew haha. He tries
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to throw his bat. He ends up hitting one of
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the coaches for the Cardinals with his bat. I think
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: he wanted to hit the umpire, hit the coach. He
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: then starts he goes on the dugout, he starts throwing
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: bubblegum onto the field. So then the game's delayed because
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the ball boys have to go out in their hands
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and knees and pick up the bubble gum piece by
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: piece out near the first base coaches box. Well that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: going on. The Cardinals manager Ali Marmal gets he gets ejected.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: So this was I'll tell you what it was. It
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: was like a for those that are not that old,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it was like a time warp. It was like, you
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: don't see that much anymore, or in baseball you don't.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Baseball is so corporate now, it is so corporate, so robotic,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: that this was unhinged. This was anti what baseball is today.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: It was reckless. You can't throw a bat right, he
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: cannot do it, cannot do it. I gotta tell you though,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: it was entertaining. I was entertained by this, and I
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: do miss that kind of nonsense, and I, oh.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: We're just gonna have it in the next couple of years.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Next season, we're gonna have the robot strike zone and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: all that stuff.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: But for one night, on a random night, it was.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Actually cool in Saint Louis. Usually it's a million degrees
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: in late August. Guess that global Warming took the day
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: off there in Saint Louis. So at Bush Stadium there
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: it was a cartoon show. It was a cartoon show.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I like it, is this the new Cardinal way? I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: know they're not really doing anything of note. The Cardinals
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: are kind of like blah, They're kind of in the middle.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Wilson's out there and he's like Yosementy Sam with his
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: six shooters, just going nuts. And Cantrara's he went full
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: this week in Baseball around the Majors. I could hear
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the voice of mel Allen right old school. Could hear
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: mel Allen and his voice saying, temperatures rising in Saint Louis.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: How about that? You know? Going on?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: So, Look, the Cardinals are irrelevant. They've been irrelevant for
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: a couple of seasons. That is a miserable baseball team.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Not as bad as the Angels, but they're pretty bad.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: But at least Contrera's made the Cardinals watchable a little bit.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: You for five minutes, five good minutes. Cardinals were watchable.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: So give me more of that. I'd like to see
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: more of that, and give me less of the boring
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: standard nonsense that we get. And I'm good all right,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: final thought, we move now away from baseball and we
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: go to the boardroom.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I saw this.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Story, and even if I hadn't seen it, I want
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to thank Jim, who lives in Central California, who sent
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: this to me where I actually was.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I was just in central California. I was in.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Slow not that long a couple days ago, but actually
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I guess it was. We were in Vegas last week
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and so it was the weekend before that. Anyway, he
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: sent me the story and as I saw it anyway,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and the story is if you didn't see, it's about
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: the w NBA.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, you shouldn't talk about the WNBA.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about it's a good story, though,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about good story. Go where
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the story is. So they have just over sixty days.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Tic tic tic tic tic tic tick.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Sixty days to hammer out a new deal, labor deal,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: all eyes work stoppage. Let me repeat that for those
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: of you in the back of the room, work stoppage,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: stoppage of work. So question, what stands out about the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: report that the w NBA players are bunkering down, down, down,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and preparing for a work stoppage. So my first thought
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: is who exactly on planet Earth would notice it if
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the WNBA shut down. If today they announced we're going
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: out of business. I don't know anyone that would be
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: upset by that. Maybe you do, maybe you're that person,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: but I don't. I mean, if you're actually honest. Outside
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: of again, one woman, Caitlin Clark, and I'll give her
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: her due, you know who is really the only reason,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: by the way, the only reason to pretend to care,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to pretend to give a rats ask about the WNBA.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: The rest of the entire league. They're in the witness
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: protection program is what they're in.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: You couldn't pick these players out if I put them
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: in a lineup and I offered you ten million dollars
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to name these players without having their name on the graphic,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't know who these people are. And so in
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: some ways, the WNBA is still in the pandemic. When
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark's not playing, they're still practicing social distancing in
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the WNBA, and it's well documented. I don't need to
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: remind you that it's a product that the American people
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: have said for a generation they don't want, they don't
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: make money. The league's bled money for every single year.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: It's not profitable. Listen, they're businesses that some years are profitable,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: some years or not. But if you're not profitable every year,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: you've done something terribly wrong. Right, You've done something terribly wrong.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: And there's no clear evidence that they're ever going to
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: be profitable. Like, the only reason the league still exists
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: is because the sugar daddies at the NBA have been bankrolling.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: It's a bad business model. And if they were saying, hey,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you stand up on your own, the league would have
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: been gone fifteen years ago if the NBA said, we
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: refuse to continue to waste our money and all that stuff.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And there's tax reasons they do it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: And when you make a lot of money, and the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: NBA team makes a lot of money, it's good to
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: have a lost leader on the other side and you
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: can kind of finagle the taxes and all that stuff.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: That being said, all right, the illusion. The thing that
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I'm fatated about it. I was actually texting a.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Buddy of mine that works in radio. We were going
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: back and forth about this.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: The the thing about the w NB is is the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: illusion is strong. It's mind tricks, is what it is.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: And we've seen it a lot in the last year
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: and a half where all of a sudden, the w
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: NB is all over ESPN, right, you get the It's
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: plastered on social media. Even the company I work for,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: forcing the few update anchors, we have to talk about.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: The w n b A. I remember when Eddie worked here,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: so they told me I had to talk about the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: w n v A. It's like, well, why nobody watched it?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: He told me, it's wild.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: You You get all these these think pieces, you know,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: these these hype think pieces that are written about the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: w n b A shoved into you know, every highlight package,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, and it just just my entire I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: was like manufactured popularity.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I continue to.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Think it's not real based on going out. We do
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: these meet and greets, and I meet fans of the show,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: and I meet people around and I I just don't
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: get the feedback from the customers that this is what
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: they want, that this is what they're consuming. Now, maybe
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it's just our show, and you know, we have a
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: bunch of people that just don't care, but everyone else cares.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's true. I'm just going by boots on the ground.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: People I talk to in the different meat and greets
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: that I've done. And it's a social contagion, is what
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: it is. What's going on in the WMBA, Like, I'm
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: convinced there's a lot of bots pumping this fake engagement,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: which is easy to do if you've got the money
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: and the where to do it. With the fake engagement
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: by followers, by likes, all that stuff, you've got corporate
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: media that has investment in it that is also pumping
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: out fake interest. Right, we're not giving the viewer what
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: they want. We're giving them what we want them to want.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And it shoved, it shoved down your throat. And how
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: dare you if you ever say, if you ever say
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: in a polite room that hey, this isn't a very
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: good product, then what happens you're sexest? Oh my god,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: your sexss That is the default get out of jail
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: free card. Rather than address the issue, rather than address
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the Kimodo dragon in the room that it isn't a
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: very good product, Instead it's well, you're just your sexist.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: It's impossible to have a conversation with these people. You
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: cannot do it because their default is that, of course,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: my position is spare me on that, right, I'll talk
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: about Caplin Clark because there's interest there other than that.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Forget about it, forget about it.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I don't care how much the bots try to get
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: get the interest up, and ESPN shoves it down your throat.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I don't care, right.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Instead, instead of reality, we get a game of chure rates.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: It's like the w NBA is just one step, one
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: step away from exploding in popularity. You know what it
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: reminds me of reminds me of soccer, Like I get
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the same from soccer people, the cult of soccer. Oh, Ben,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: soccer is going to take over America.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Oh you just wait.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I was all right and people told me that I'm
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: old now and they're still telling me the same bull crap. Okay,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: no one's fuled by that. No one's fulled by the WNBA.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Outside of Caitlin Clark. The league is invisible. It continues
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: to be and the minute Caitlin Clark decides I've had enough,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I'm out, that's it.

  Speaker 2: And now back to it, back to what we go.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Ferg Dog says, tough pill to swallow. But the Angels
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: part of your monologue was spot on. Everything you said
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: it was true, says Ferg Dog. Who else we have
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: page Dan Eileen from San Francisco says Ron Washington should
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: come back and play for the Angels. Yes, I think
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: what the Angels should do is bring back all the
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: legends and have them play. Have Bobby Gritch play second base,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Doug de sins As could play third base. They can
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: bring back Mike wait on the Mount, all the old
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Angels back when they were in the World Series and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: all that in the eighties. Or if you want to
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: go two thousand, Tim Salmon, you make Tim Salmon back right,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: bring him in there. Throw him out there. Adam Kennedy,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Adam Kennedy, why not? Sean Figgins bring him back? And
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: what are the John Lackey can bring the fried Chicken.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: You can have him on the mountain.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Stein x Stein of course, little slap hitter, bring him
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: out there. Uh, Troy Gloss put him out there at
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: third base?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Why not? Scott Spiezio, who says, no, is Scott Spiezio?
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Come on?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: So that's a great idea, good marketing, cross promotion. Rather
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: than just have an old timers game, just have nothing
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: but old timer's every day and then once a year
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: play young players.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: How about that?

  Speaker 1: You're just doing no guy.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: God, Oh, now you're going to You're going to the
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: google a couple of Scott shield Scott shields. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Benji Molina didn't even balloon up. He got pretty big,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: did he. Darren Urstad that's a good one. Arren nurse Day, Yeah,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: first I think he get the final out of the

  Speaker 2: Did he catch the final line outfield?
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Jared Anderson was on the he was mister Angel for
