0:16
We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he

2:45

2:52
nothing, right? I've never ever wanted to
2:54
measure pinkies, but. Danny, why don't you say hello
2:56
to Danny? We haven't seen Danny on the
2:58
Scope for a long time. You guys don't know Nick.
3:00
Nick. Goody, Danny, if you don't know
3:02
Nick. Nick.
3:03
For. The Yankees played for the the
3:05
guardians six year career in the major leagues and you know who
3:08
Jabba is? Jabba Chamberlain, everybody.
3:10
This is Dan Rosiki. He's been writing for me since I
3:13
started 1213 years ago. He's been a fan of the show.
3:16
He's, you know, he's a fan of some of the teams that I root
3:19
for and he just loves to drop the hammer.
3:22
He worked for Sports Illustrated before he was let go by Sports
3:25
Illustrated for some of his takes on the Islanders.
3:28
And Charles Wong. I love him.
3:31
He actually introduced me to Fish and that's why Fish is with
3:35
us right now is is Dan Rosiki. You told me that Fish is a guy
3:39
that is up and coming, thinks that he's a good personality and
3:42
he would help me out on the back end of the show.
3:44
And here he is. Danny Rosicki.
3:45
We have 3, three stats from each of the New York baseball teams.
3:50
I'm going to do them. The Yankees one first and you're
3:52
a Mets fan. We're going to get a lot of
3:54
stuff with the New York Mets later.
3:55
Obviously a big weekend for one of their best players in their
3:58
franchise history. But I'm going to start with the
3:59
Yankees. I'll start with Marcus Stroman,
4:01
a guy that you guys have been criticism criticizing of in the
4:04
past, but had a very good start against the Braves goodie and
4:07
and Java specifically with you guys because this was one that I
4:10
found interesting. 11 splitters versus the Braves, all with the
4:14
all against lefties and got a lot of swing and misses and only
4:16
use 14% of the sinkers, which is usually usually does a lot.
4:20
A lot more sinkers in his starts and had a lot more success doing
4:23
it that way. Is that an approach thing that
4:25
Stroman's got to change because they might need him to start
4:27
more often? Well, yeah, it couldn't get any
4:30
worse, so you got to make an adjustment.
4:34
And I mean, he throws so many patients, it's hard to figure
4:39
out which one's best and what's working.
4:41
So yeah, I think if you're seeing obviously balls going
4:45
down and running, getting swings and misses, and I think it's but
4:49
a game plan, but also a field type of thing.
4:52
And sometimes we either have it or don't and sometimes you try
4:56
to do too much. So I think if you see everything
4:59
going arm side and and have multiple weapons to be able to
5:03
do that, I think it's more so a game plan other than field
5:07
because obviously he hasn't been very good since he came back.
5:10
Yeah, I agree with that. If you throw the pitch, that
5:12
works that night. So if it's a splitter that's
5:14
working and that's what you're throwing, and you said it was
5:18
done and you said he threw it to the lefties, Yeah.
5:20
Yeah. So he threw it the splitter, he
5:22
threw it 11 times against lefties in that game and it
5:26
would he got a lot more success rate of it.
5:28
He said the previous analytics were saying like he split it up
5:31
a lot of the time that's when he was struggling.
5:33
So it was more predictable and then you 14 sinkers, 14 only 14%
5:36
sinkers which he normally does around 30%.
5:40
Yeah. So I mean they have a book out
5:41
on them, right. So if he's doing more, if he's
5:45
so the hitters for you know, the hitters know exactly what's
5:48
going to come and what counts or they have an idea percentage
5:50
wise of what's going to come and what counts.
5:52
And so I'm sure Stroman's a guy who probably likes to flip the
5:56
book around and and instead of being heavy on the sinker, he's
6:00
mixing it up, mixing his pitches and us splitter traditionally
6:04
will go down and away toward to a lefty.
6:07
Some guys can can manipulate it to go to both sides of the plate
6:10
and essentially it's probably just like a little bit of a
6:13
harder change up. So if he's having success with
6:15
it, then that's what you throw. Medium, I'm looking at your
6:18
graphic there and I'm, I'm so horrified by this.
6:20
It's, it's fantastic and awful at the same time.
6:23
I just, I've been staring at it. It's it's mesmerizing.
6:26
It's hypnotic on some level. Why?
6:29
Because I was bored and it's summer, you know, you go to the
6:34
beach speedy, you know, likes to go get a tan.
6:38
No, he doesn't. I don't think I've ever seen.
6:40
Speedy go to the beach. I don't think Speedy's ever gone
6:44
to the beach, not around me in in 10 years, I've never heard,
6:47
hey, let's go to the beach. Errol.
6:49
The only time he goes to the beach is when we we celebrate
6:52
his birthday and he's throwing up all over the place.
6:54
That's about it. That's the only time I I've seen
6:57
Speedy actually enjoy the beach with me.
6:58
Yeah, so I've only gotten probably tan twice in my life.
7:03
Dan, as you know, most of my good ideas happen either half in
7:07
the bag or just because I was bored.
7:10
So say half in the bag, I got you covered.
7:13
You have to tell me I already. Know well speedies.
7:16
You know Speedy doesn't know how to work the bag.
7:17
So if he has the bean bag and it works in two nuts, 2 nuts is
7:22
better than one, right Speedy? I am not going to judge anything
7:24
on nuts this is. A by the way.
7:26
This is a six pack. They come in a lot more than
7:28
nuts come in a lot more. Than by the way, I can't stand
7:30
Marcus Stroman and the fact that Marcus Stroman is somebody we're
7:34
talking about makes me sick to my stomach.
7:36
Marcus Stroman, Patrick Medford native, Long Island native I
7:40
know his family his brother is going to be a sensational draft
7:42
pick and a sensational player playing for Patchogue switch
7:45
hitter. He he's at least a nice guy.
7:49
His brother Marcus every time I've been around him, I was at a
7:52
draft party at doubling doubling deck.
7:55
I'll never forget it. His father is such a nice dude
7:59
and and he just doesn't know how to respect people.
8:00
Everywhere he's gone, he's been an ass.
8:03
A lot of people that have been around Marcus Stroman probably
8:06
would tell you that he's not an easy person and be around.
8:09
So I why are we bringing up Marcus Stroman and what his
8:12
numbers are? He's not even an important
8:14
factor to the New York Yankees moving forward in the
8:16
second-half, so. That's just my #5 all right.
8:20
So we'll go on to so they had a comeback on Friday, 5 run
8:23
comeback. It was the Yankees 1st 9th
8:25
inning comeback this season and only their 18th comeback win of
8:29
the season, which is actually tied for sixth lowest in
8:31
baseball with your team go to the Guardians only of 18 as
8:34
well. Are you concerned about that or
8:35
is it is it fluky? What is your thoughts on all
8:38
that? 9th inning comebacks, I don't
8:40
really know. I mean, it's baseball.
8:41
Like, yeah, I don't know how to explain.
8:43
I don't know how to explain this one.
8:44
Maybe the pitcher had a rough night 8 times in a row, nine
8:47
times in a row. Like you're supposed to win the
8:49
games that you're that you're leading in in the 9th inning.
8:52
So to be honest with you, I haven't watched New York Yankees
8:56
baseball. I've been been watching my
8:58
summer League Baseball most of the time.
9:01
So I didn't catch that one. But you're up when you're up 8
9:04
ninth inning, 789 inning. Like those are your lockdown
9:07
relievers of the game you're supposed to win.
9:08
And if the Yankees especially. Especially up five.
9:12
Yeah, if the Yankees come back and and and win, like that's
9:15
huge and that that you have momentum going into the next
9:18
game. Yankees baseball over the last
9:20
past month and 1/2 has been absolutely putrid.
9:22
It it really hasn't been good. And anybody that thinks and John
9:26
Carlos Stanton is is been pretty good.
9:28
He's the only one hitting him and Aaron Judge, thank God he's
9:31
back. So it adds a little bit more
9:33
boom to that lineup. This is a lineup that a lot of
9:36
people thought, hey, adding Goldschmidt, he was playing well
9:39
in the beginning of the the first half.
9:41
He's kind of falling part falling, falling off and
9:44
Bellinger, he's up and he's down.
9:45
He goes on a 13 game hitting streak and then he can't hit a
9:48
lick for like 10 games. The problem with the Yankees is
9:51
consistency. If they who want to win, they
9:53
just lost against the Blue Jays tonight 4:00 to 1:00.
9:55
If they want to to win the division and they want to go on
9:58
and and try to make another World Series, they got to play.
10:01
They got to be better at the plate.
10:03
Pitching is going to come. I think they're going to add
10:05
another pitcher and another arm at the trade deadline.
10:08
They need to add 2 bats at least if they expect to to make
10:12
another run to the World Series. I I this lineup is not good
10:15
enough. They're looking at Mitch Keller
10:17
right now from the Pirates. I don't know if you if you saw
10:20
that, but Mitch Keller's like hot.
10:22
He's had like 13 like starts in a row where he's got like a 2
10:25
1/2 ERA and like a one WHIP, which is not really what his
10:29
numbers were in his career. He had a couple of hot streaks
10:31
earlier in his career. But he's he's like a guy that
10:34
kind of middles off similar to like Stroman's numbers in that
10:37
game that you were talking about before where he's, you know, a
10:40
couple of strikeouts limited the hits to less than one per
10:43
inning. He's going to get one of those
10:45
every once in a while. And the Yankees need to get and
10:48
the Yankees need to get rid of Volpe.
10:50
I don't know what's going on with this organization.
10:52
Volpe has been horrible defensively.
10:54
He made, he had another error tonight.
10:56
I mean, he's making too many mistakes and he's not hitting
10:59
enough. If you can't, your strength is
11:02
your defense. And you, you won a Gold Glove
11:04
last year and you were the best shortstop in the American
11:06
League. And you, you don't produce this
11:09
year. The Yankees need to either send
11:11
them down or trade him. But he's not worth anything
11:13
right now, so you might as well send him down.
11:16
He's always. Says he's he's a savage.
11:18
He's like the rest of them. It's horrible.
11:21
Didn't he say elite? He's elite and it's a savage
11:24
elite, You know, it's let me ask Danny, because I've said this,
11:28
Danny, good teams don't have this problem, do they?
11:32
Good teams might have problems. Good coach teams have a lot less
11:35
problems. It's almost like coaching
11:37
matters on some level. If a team is coached well, they
11:40
know what to do at certain moments and when a team is not
11:43
coach but it looks like it's the first time they're playing a
11:45
game, which is really scary. I mean, like we got 2 pros out
11:50
here who know that they've had different coaches, different
11:52
managers, and I bet you they can tell you guys that could reach
11:55
them, that can make changes effectively and then other guys
11:58
who were there because they were there.
12:01
Thank you. Good.
12:02
One, wait a second. So now we have another guy that
12:06
is going to point their fingers at Aaron Boone.
12:09
This is. Someone, someone has to do it at
12:11
this point. Arrow.
12:12
It's constant. It's they play bad baseball and
12:16
lose games they shouldn't. Baseball, baseball is a sport
12:21
and, and, and Jabba and Nick know this more than anything.
12:24
You go on the mound, you pitch your game.
12:26
It has nothing to do with the manager.
12:27
You go to the plate, is the manager going to hit for you?
12:30
No. Joe Torry, he had a load of
12:33
great talent around him for years.
12:35
Those line UPS, the core players.
12:37
You're going to tell me Joe Torry was a great manager.
12:39
He was the last person that George Steinburner wanted to
12:42
bring in. He didn't even want him there,
12:44
and he became. One of the best managers talk
12:46
about the guy before him and Buck, who always had the great
12:48
fundamental defense and the great fundamental base running
12:52
and the great fundamentals that carried over to that Tory team,
12:55
which might not have been Tory's strength.
12:57
And then they had that great run.
12:59
It happened with Buck everywhere right where after he left
13:01
because people couldn't take Buck after a while that, but
13:04
they had those intangibles that made them good teams.
13:07
I don't see that with the Boone teams.
13:09
The Boone teams make bad base running mistakes.
13:12
I mean we can show the video of Vivos getting gunned down by
13:15
Acuna where he doesn't even slide in a game that they lost
13:19
because they made a made the out of third.
13:21
Base Oh so oh, so now we're going to try to compare a guy
13:25
like Aaron Boone who's never managed anywhere else.
13:28
Remember, he came, he was a sport.
13:30
He was on ESPN working for baseball night and this guy got
13:34
a chance. His father was his background as
13:37
AGM. His his brother has worked, you
13:40
know, for different organizations and was a good
13:42
baseball player. So we're going to blame Aaron
13:44
Boone, where he has one of the best winning percentages in
13:47
Yankees history, and we're going to sit here and say, oh, Aaron
13:50
Boone doesn't do this right? He doesn't do that right.
13:52
There are a lot of managers that don't don't do things right.
13:55
There's one of them over there with the Dodgers and he's won
13:59
and he's won. Championships.
14:01
Aaron Boone is is not He's the manager.
14:03
He's not necessarily the coach. The coach is the analytical team
14:06
in New York who make all decisions.
14:08
Yes, they make all the decisions.
14:10
They pull the strings there. Well, he is.
14:12
I mean, I'm sure he makes some game time decisions, but for the
14:15
most part, he's getting fed all the analytics from the
14:18
analytical department and it all gets streamlined right to him.
14:22
Either has a game, he has a game plan going into the game.
14:24
And I'm sure that that game plan will deviate throughout as
14:29
different scenarios happen throughout the game.
14:32
And I know that he's getting fed information, you know, before he
14:36
makes a decision on who to bring in and whatnot.
14:39
They have numbers. They have everything in the book
14:41
that you can possibly go through.
14:43
And so like, yeah, he's going to get beat up in the media because
14:46
that's his job. He's the manager.
14:47
So he gets beat up in the media. But at the end of the day, like,
14:50
if you were to peel back, you know, the layers, if you will,
14:55
the people who should get be getting beat up in the media are
14:57
probably the analytical department on who they signed
15:01
and who they're putting in certain situations.
15:03
Now, can Aaron Boone play making an impact?
15:07
Of course he can set the the temperature of the locker room.
15:10
You know, he can go around and, and give guys confidence and,
15:15
and just let him, you know, like Tito did that for me.
15:18
And I want, if there's something about it that you want to play
15:21
harder for that guy. And by the way, by the way, I'm
15:24
sorry Josh is saying that he thinks he's a good manager.
15:26
I'm sorry to cut you off, Goody. Go ahead.
15:28
Yeah, no, I mean, I, I, I mean, he went, he was in the World
15:31
Series last year and he's got one of the best teams in
15:34
baseball now. So like, how can we sit here and
15:37
say he's a good or bad manager? I mean, he's he has a winning
15:41
record. I have a question for Nick and
15:43
for Joba. Joba.
15:46
Joba. Joba.
15:50
So my question is this the Yankees pitching staff, right?
15:53
How many of those pitchers, I mean, just to pick on the
15:56
Yankees and and their their manager, how many pitchers have
16:00
come to the Yankees organization that are currently a team that
16:03
are worth their weight, right? Like look at the the Yankees
16:07
starting staff, right? It's.
16:08
Free. From from where?
16:11
From where? Breed was from over here at San
16:14
Francisco, no. Breed is on.
16:17
And Rhodon? Oh, free.
16:18
I mean, Rhodon from San Francisco.
16:20
Yeah, Free time. I know.
16:21
It's like, what are the Yankees doing with their minor leagues
16:24
that that no one is coming through to be effective?
16:27
It would it be bad coaching? Would it be?
16:29
That's that's my point, Dan. Like, I just see a lot of
16:33
mediocrity, Dan, and everyone seems to want to defend Boone.
16:37
I haven't forgiven him for putting Nestor Cortez in to face
16:40
Freddie Freeman. And that's why and that's why
16:43
you're not AGM and that's why you're not a coach, buddy.
16:46
They lost the game that way. He had Tim Hill to put in and
16:50
they went to Nestor, who's cold for a month.
16:52
He is a high. School come up and can handle
16:54
the pressures in New York. Louise Hill is one of them who
16:56
can do it. Some guys can do it, some guys
16:59
can't. A lot of people, I think when
17:01
people come up to the Yankee system and they get traded away
17:05
and they have success, they can find they can they they find who
17:09
they are as a Major League Baseball player, then they can
17:11
come back to New York as a more mature veteran, if you will.
17:14
And then be able to handle the New York media and everything
17:18
outside of baseball. I mean, they do produce good.
17:21
They do produce good. I mean, there's two guys in the
17:24
Boston Red Sox bullpen that are every night, every day in
17:27
pitchers. I mean, Whitlock and and Weiser
17:29
are both home grown Yankees that are putting together decent
17:34
seasons or or have put together decent seasons.
17:36
So it's sometimes you have to get away from New York and then
17:40
you'll end up coming back. If if if it if it's in your
17:43
cards. But they they're coaching it
17:45
there isn't bad. I mean they there's a reason why
17:49
a lot of young players get poached from the Yankees minor
17:51
league system. Not only players but coaches as
17:53
well, because they produce. Same with Cleveland, same with
17:56
LA, They produce. Like if you look at the top five
18:00
or 10, whatever, Cleveland, LA and the Dodgers are the top
18:04
three for minor leagues and producing pitching.
18:07
Last one for the. Yankees to number. 4 speedy Yeah
18:10
last one for the Yankees. So Aaron Judge ties Alex
18:13
Rodriguez 351 home runs as a Yankee and he did it in 417 less
18:18
games and a rod played 1505 games as a Yankee and Aaron
18:21
Judge 1092. What are your thoughts of more
18:25
history for Aaron Judge? Aaron Judge, Iron Judge is one
18:29
of the most dominant players we've seen with the New York
18:33
Yankees since Mickey Mantle, since Don Mattingly, when he
18:37
went on that five year stint, since Derek Jeter, when he went
18:41
on that stint of, you know, that hitting spree and Alex Rodriguez
18:44
doing what he did when he came to the New York Yankees.
18:47
When we think of star players, star players that don't go out
18:51
there, throw his team under the bus, I'll say it over and over
18:53
and over again. What makes Aaron Judge so
18:56
special is when he goes out there after the game, win or
18:59
lose, he doesn't he doesn't Rep what he does.
19:01
He doesn't pat himself on the back.
19:03
Oh, I hit three home runs in a game.
19:05
I was four. I was 4 for five.
19:07
No, he says, listen, if we when we win, it's more important to
19:11
win than putting up the numbers that I'm doing.
19:13
If I'm not winning, those numbers mean nothing.
19:16
That is a star, our player, Matt Mike Trout.
19:19
People forget what Mike Trout said over the years when he was
19:21
a dominant force over there with the Angels.
19:23
The Angels sucked when Mike Trout was one of the best
19:26
players in the world. And what did Mike Trout say
19:28
every time after the game when people didn't even know who Mike
19:31
Trout was? Mike Trout said, listen, I could
19:33
put up all the numbers you want. I cannot be A5 tool player if
19:37
we're not winning. Why does it even matter?
19:39
And and it's it's true. They never had any pitching to
19:42
win either. So, but no, I it's it's it's
19:47
crazy to think and OK, this this will go back to kind of what you
19:51
said fish too and and Dan as well.
19:54
OK, so is he going to play long enough to like break everything
19:59
because he got a late start because they did wait later as a
20:03
first round traffic out of Fresno State.
20:05
So he had the college pedigree and he didn't make his debut
20:10
till he was 20. 4. So is, and, and we've talked
20:14
about this before, it's kind of, it's kind of catch 22, right?
20:18
It's like, do we bring a spark right now and, you know, ruin or
20:24
risk that chance or do we do we kind of let him be successful
20:30
and we've seen what that's turned into.
20:31
Obviously it's a lot of hard work and dedication and and
20:34
understanding, but I get I, I understand both sides of it, it.
20:39
But he yeah, he's going to go down as one of the best Yankees
20:43
ever. It'll be determined to see if he
20:46
goes. I mean, he's going to, he's
20:47
going to hit 400. Is he going to hit?
20:50
100 is the question. So for me, it's is he going to
20:54
win? You know if he's going to be
20:55
compared to the best Yankees because of the tradition of the
20:57
team, you have to win a championship to be considered
21:01
one of the best Yankees in this story franchise.
21:03
Right. Harold says it in our in the
21:05
opening before we get going. Are we going to have this
21:09
conversation and be like, well, he didn't win, but he's got 600
21:14
homers or MVP, whatever. I'm just throwing numbers out,
21:19
but are we going to say that about him if they don't make it
21:23
like they have to make some type of change?
21:25
I don't know. If that's boon, I don't know.
21:27
If it's cash, I don't know, sell the team.
21:30
I'm I'm I'm just throwing weird stuff out and you can't keep
21:35
getting there without winning. And just like Alex Rodriguez,
21:38
until Alex Rodriguez went on that run in 2009, nobody thought
21:42
he was a winner. Now I I know everybody hates
21:44
Alex Rodriguez, but Alex Rodriguez is going to go down as
21:47
one of the top four players of all time.
21:49
Steroids are not. Go look at his numbers.
21:51
That numbers don't lie. Was he a good person?
21:53
No. Was he a sensational, you know,
21:57
person off the field? I've heard that he's been good.
22:00
And by the way, he owns the Timberwolves now.
22:02
He's a good businessman. I I do believe Alex Rodriguez,
22:05
if he didn't win a championship in 2009, nobody who cares about
22:09
all his accolades. He want he helped the Yankees
22:11
win in 2009. So Aaron Judge has to win a
22:14
championship to be considered one of the greatest Yankees of
22:17
all time. If he wins one, which I believe
22:19
he will, the Yankees are going to win at least one before he's
22:21
done so. You say he won't go down if he
22:24
hits as one of the great. No, no, because again, when we
22:29
think about some of the great Yankees of our time, Joe
22:32
DiMaggio, he won. Mickey Mantle, He won Babe Ruth.
22:36
You know, there were five teams in the league when they won
22:37
World Series, those guys. Doesn't matter.
22:39
Like still won, still won. Like 96 teams an hour.
22:42
Oh come on, man. Still won.
22:44
You just think everything before the Mets was like fake baseball,
22:47
like fake news baseball in 62. All right, teams.
22:54
Come on man all. Right, he's going to go down and
22:56
regret one of the greatest Yankees.
22:58
Of all time, I do too about it. Whether he wins or not, he's one
23:02
of the. Best I think the question is
23:03
does he go down in Yankees history like similar to the guys
23:07
like Mickey Mantle? If he does, if he is, he's going
23:09
to have to win championships. If.
23:11
Champion. He's the best play, he's the
23:13
best championships, yeah, ship to be compared to those ones.
23:18
One, if he had 600 home runs, yes.
23:20
If if he's is he a Hall of Famer at this point?
23:22
100% he's a Hall of Famer now. Just because of the pace he's
23:26
on, like you assume like two more years and he's at 400
23:29
something home runs, Yeah, it's kind of hard to argue with what
23:33
he's doing. Dude, he's going to win.
23:34
He's going to win another MVP. In the last few years, this
23:37
would be 3 MVPS in the last four years.
23:40
I mean, how many players, how many players have done that?
23:44
I mean Mike Trout. He's the most fun Yankee to
23:47
watch in the regular season since I can't remember.
23:52
And we see what he did for Juan Solo with the Yankees versus
23:55
Juan Solo with the Mets. It's two different hitters.
24:00
All right, Speedy, move on to those Mets with #3 all.
24:04
Right, so Kodai Senga returned tonight, unfortunately had a
24:06
rough start following four runs in just three innings.
24:08
But before that, here's a stat that's interesting.
24:11
So top ten in barrel rate against Kodai Senga 6.4%, which
24:15
is up to the same as Tariq Skubal, who's been the best
24:17
pitcher in baseball pretty much all year.
24:19
So second-half expectations for Senga coming off injury was
24:22
about a month. Dan, what were your thoughts on
24:24
what you saw tonight? And then you guys, obviously the
24:26
pitchers and. Errol.
24:28
Come in right after that. But you've been.
24:29
The Mets fan, we'll start with you.
24:32
I get the lead. Awesome.
24:33
So First off that that goes fork is for real.
24:37
And I don't get it cuz to me that's a split finger fastball.
24:40
I'm old, right? So I, I saw Mike Scott in the
24:42
80s, you know, and I saw Bruce Souter in the 80s get through
24:45
the same goddamn bitch. And for some reason is looks
24:50
more deceiving. And we've got 2 pictures here
24:52
that can speak to this way better than I can.
24:55
But like, I don't get what makes a pitch devastating for one guy
24:59
and makes it pedestrian for the next guy.
25:01
So maybe should ask the pros because like they are both Major
25:05
League pitchers and they will tell you that guys in their
25:07
bullpen or on their Staffs they play with through the same exact
25:11
goddamn pitch and it broke 66 inches more or it's spun at the
25:15
end and tailed off inside. Like what makes a pitcher be
25:19
able to take a pitch that everyone's thrown for 100 years
25:21
and just make it their own? I mean, you could you could say
25:24
that about every pitch really. Like why does why does this
25:27
basketball run and it's manipulating the baseball?
25:31
How you, you know, have AI guess pressure on index finger pinky.
25:37
Like there's so many ways to do it.
25:39
Some guys arm slots play a part of it.
25:43
Some guys just naturally that's what it does use Devin Williams
25:50
example. He over pronates instead of just
25:53
a regular change up like he does it on purpose because it's
25:57
basically his internal rotation is is more than normal.
26:00
So I think there's a lot of things that play a part into it.
26:03
Yeah, it's like, hey, yeah, we off their change UPS, but mine
26:06
sucks and yours is really good and we hold it the same exact
26:09
way. I mean that's just there's no
26:11
rhyme or reason. Oh, your spin rates, not this,
26:13
your horizontal. Like they're going to tell you
26:16
that, but honestly, it's like I, I tried every change up in the
26:21
world and they all sucked. So I yeah, it was terrible.
26:26
So. But that's like that's like
26:28
Mario Rivera throwing the cutter and made it his, you know, he
26:32
threw one pitch. I mean, he threw A4 seam, you
26:35
know, every now and then sporadically, but like it was a
26:37
cutter. He made it his.
26:38
What made his cutter so good? I think it was his control and
26:41
being able to locate it whenever he wherever he wanted to and
26:44
then whatever count he wanted to as well and then be able to buzz
26:47
a force seam in there, straight pitch there and then you have
26:50
the cutter that goes there. So like setting up pitches, a
26:54
lot of it could be deceptive. A lot of it could be what Jabba
26:57
said. Now they, now they have pitch
27:00
design labs where you can get the exact horizontal, the exact
27:03
vertical brake that you want. Spin you, you can increase spin.
27:11
All the sticky stuff, you know well that that will increase
27:15
spin. Now that they're checking for
27:16
that. I think spin rate's probably
27:18
more like a fingerprint. You know, it's, it's related to
27:22
who you are as a pitcher. I think the pressure that you
27:26
put on the back of the ball and on the seams as you come
27:28
through, I'm sure there are ways to create more spin, but a lot
27:35
of that has to do with deceptiveness, your delivery,
27:38
your release point. If you look at Mizarovski's, the
27:43
guy for the brewery. Misery.
27:44
That's what he is when he hit. Fastball, like he throws a
27:48
fastball 100 to 102. So does Paul Skeens like why
27:51
don't those guys? Obviously it's 102, but he has
27:54
the most extension in the league by far.
27:56
And it looks like it's just jumping on guys and it looks
27:59
like it's rising and guys will come.
28:00
They come back and they're like, you know, he threw a 98 mile an
28:03
hour slider like ha, you know, it's just, it's crazy what's
28:09
going on. Some of it doesn't make sense,
28:11
some of it just doesn't like. It's God-given.
28:14
Let me try to make some sense of it for you guys.
28:17
Here's a baseball savant. If you guys aren't on this, This
28:20
has been pretty new the last couple of years.
28:23
You could take a look. This is Senga.
28:25
Anything in red is good. Blue is generally bad.
28:28
It's the easy way to look at it. Down the middle is average.
28:30
So Senga with extension, that's like how the ball gets on top.
28:33
How you, I don't know you guys explained to me, but the ball
28:35
gets on top, like you said, with Miss Zorowski.
28:38
So his is kind of average, but he's been really kind of
28:40
crushing it. He doesn't have the best
28:42
velocity, but he's throwing almost 94.
28:44
He walks too many guys, but everything else is well above
28:48
average. He might be if he could stay
28:50
healthy. He's great.
28:51
And this is the one that you can see the best red one there.
28:54
That 98 that's off speed run value.
28:56
I'm assuming that's about the movement of the ghost fork and
29:00
just how unhittable that pitch is.
29:02
So you can kind of see it analytically these days.
29:04
All right, moving on. Speedy #2 yes.
29:08
Moving on to Francesco Alvarez finally got called back up.
29:11
Talk about him getting demoted about a month ago and he's back.
29:13
He had twelve home runs and 975 OPS in the minor leagues.
29:17
He had 267 points higher than his MLB career and then 323
29:20
higher than this season, which was in the six hundreds.
29:23
So big, big turn around for Alvarez.
29:25
Jabba actually said when he went down that he's going to be
29:29
called up. There's no way they're keeping
29:31
him down for the rest of the season.
29:33
He's a he's a big part of their offense.
29:35
He was a big part of their offense last year.
29:37
This guy's got a strong bat. He's got a big bat and and the
29:40
Mets are going to need him if they want to make a run to the
29:43
playoffs and make a run throughout the playoffs.
29:45
He he was very good in the playoffs for the New York Mets,
29:48
especially against certain teams.
29:50
I remember if who was it? It was Milwaukee, Phillies in
29:53
Milwaukee. Milwaukee was a big part of
29:55
their offense in Philadelphia too.
29:58
The Mets are going to need his bat.
29:59
He's a great defensive player. That's what he had problems with
30:02
and why they sent him down. He was making mistakes throwing
30:04
the ball. I think he's got better and I
30:07
expect him to make a speedy A speedy A present presents for
30:13
the New York Mets now in the second-half of the season.
30:15
So I think that's good news for the New York Mets that he was
30:17
hot in AAA. Yeah, we had.
30:19
We talked about that too. It's like do you send him down
30:22
or I don't remember the catcher that we was a common arrow.
30:25
Whoever we sent there, they just basically released him and owed
30:28
him 24,000,000. And you're talking about was
30:33
literally, it can help this kid because the pressure's off him
30:38
and he's able to just go out and work on those things.
30:41
And I think part of it, he was taking what he was doing in the
30:44
field too. Is that bats?
30:46
And now you got to work on everything.
30:48
It's good for him for not, you know, putting his dauber in the
30:51
dirt and feeling bad for himself.
30:52
Going back to AAA and being able to, you know, just be like, look
30:57
yourself in the mirror. And it's like, I'm going to get
30:58
back there. You know, these are some things
31:00
I need to work on. I mean, it's not like I'm still
31:02
not playing baseball getting paid.
31:04
So it was I'm, I'm proud of him for doing it because it's not
31:08
easy when you, when you get to the big leagues and get sent
31:10
down it, you know, it kicks you a little bit.
31:12
But I like I like the dobber and the dirt.
31:14
That was pretty funny. My dad used to play it all the
31:17
time. There was this great play
31:20
Alvarez did believedly his other his last season.
31:23
He tastes himself. Just an unbelievable double
31:26
play. He steps on the base on a broken
31:28
bat, guns at the first. This guy has all sorts of talent
31:32
on both sides of the ball. He actually was involved in two
31:35
of the runs in the rally in the 7th and 8th inning tonight for
31:39
the Mets in their in their comeback win against the Angels.
31:42
So fish where's? Pay dividends for the Mets with
31:46
Alvarez speedy. Number one and.
31:49
We run it out with Mets legend now Ring of Honor member David
31:52
Wright. He got his number retired, the
31:54
10th Mets to have his number retired.
31:56
First time he was retired for a Mets player that was there for
31:58
his whole career and some stats on him, 87 of his 248 home runs
32:03
were actually go ahead home runs and he ate his eight walk all
32:05
farm runs, which is the most in New York Mets history.
32:08
David Wright, one of the best defensive third baseman as well.
32:10
Fish, you were talking about me earlier about he had a 48.3 WAR
32:13
before he obviously had all the spinal stenosis issues.
32:16
Unfortunately finished with the 49.2 career WAR.
32:19
So David Wright into the raft. In City Field 3.
32:27
It's a great player, wasn't he? He's the captain, dude.
32:30
David Wright #5. Made all these great defensive
32:33
plays. I remember there was one like he
32:35
was kind of running backwards and it was the bare hands.
32:40
It was just this legendary play. I've got my own feelings to
32:43
David Wright. First of all, every time I met
32:44
David Wright, he's an ass. That's.
32:46
That's of course you don't like the most likable player.
32:49
He was an ass. I met him three times, Captain
32:52
America as he came out and he actually him and John Carlos
32:57
standing, that helmet, you know, to put it in front of his face
32:59
when he got in the head. They're the ones that created
33:02
those new helmets that a lot of these baseball players are
33:04
wearing because of David Wright's and and Giancarlo
33:08
stands so David Wright. I had like the big head helmet
33:11
too, didn't David Wright? Like it was like a monster.
33:13
Right away, after Matt Cain hit him, that's what he Errol's
33:16
talking about. In 2012, he started using that
33:19
for a little while. Then he went back to the normal
33:20
1. I, I, I was never a big David
33:23
Wright fan. I, I remember, obviously, if I'm
33:27
not mistaken, he came, he played in Virginia.
33:29
Yes, he played in Virginia. He grew up actually with Ryan
33:32
Zimmerman. And Ryan Brothers, yeah.
33:34
Yeah, and and got. God damn, what?
33:38
Were you saying, I'm sorry, I just like, I like, like, is it
33:41
amazing how like in some areas they produce major leaguers and
33:45
then in some areas they don't like, like I was just saying
33:48
before, like the Stroman's right, There's got to be
33:50
Marcus's younger brother, Steven Matz all came from like 1 town.
33:55
Yeah, right. Yeah, but but Long Island's a
33:57
big ass place. It's 3 million people here.
33:59
It's it's big, but like 1 town amongst 3,000,000 produced three
34:02
Major League players, right? What's the name?
34:07
Lindor with Winker right? And it's like some high.
34:11
School from my hometown, yeah. Like high school, like we
34:15
produced 50 Major League players my high school, we produced one
34:18
guy who sucked for Toronto. Like for one season, Oh shoot, I
34:25
should know that because no, I should have because he sucked.
34:30
But you also never came back to work with the team like you
34:34
think you were. It was your hometown.
34:35
Like, well, I almost made the majors for a year.
34:38
Like let me go back and show you guys how to do not on that shit.
34:41
So. There's too much you probably
34:43
deserve. There's too much of A love fest
34:44
for David Wright. OK, I I to me.
34:47
Dude, he was one of the best dude.
34:48
Him and him and Jose Reyes on the left side of the infield,
34:51
like I remember playing MLB The Show.
34:55
The same Jose Reyes at the the final game of the season, for
34:59
him to win a batting title, he decided to pull himself out.
35:01
Yeah, Great. Good job, Jose.
35:03
We love you, buddy. That's why you won the batting
35:06
title. You guys think I don't know.
35:08
You don't think I remember that stuff.
35:09
Give me a break. You know what, I you know what I
35:12
think about certain players for the New York Mets organization?
35:15
An absolute joke. You guys are going to sit here
35:18
and tell me about David Wright. How how great of a player he
35:20
was. Yeah.
35:21
When he actually played on the field, he was a great 5 tool
35:24
player for like what, four years?
35:27
David Wright to me could have been great, but he bitched and
35:30
moan. And then the one run that he had
35:32
in the World Baseball Classic, as they gave him, as they call
35:36
him the one and only Captain America that season, he got hit
35:40
in the head. He was never the same player.
35:42
Congratulations to a great career of That's what I think
35:46
about David Wright. I think Met fans should stop
35:49
kissing his ass. I I think he's so overrated.
35:51
Let's talk about guys like Carlos Beltran when the Mets
35:54
brought him to the organization, what he did for the New York
35:57
Mets. How about that?
35:59
How about that guy? OK, that's a strike.
36:02
Like the curveball in the middle of the way.
36:05
I don't. Yeah, I don't know.
36:07
I watched that game too. You're going to tell me?
36:09
Wasn't wasn't right the best player on that team that went to
36:11
the World Series though? No.
36:14
Until he got hurt at the beginning of the season, he was.
36:17
Daniel Murphy. Daniel Murphy made that run.
36:19
That's why. The best player though.
36:21
Daniel Murphy, not Daniel Murphy, was the best offensive
36:24
player in the playoffs when they went to the World Series.
36:27
Go look at it. You could go look.
36:29
At Wright was a Gold Glove defensive.
36:30
Player. Good for him, good for him.
36:33
Makes him a better player. He wasn't a better player.
36:36
David Wright was our gold love defensive player and almost
36:38
David. Wright is one of the most
36:40
overrated Mets of all. Time so like he's just under the
36:43
Hall of Fame 50 to 70 war. We always talk about Speedy.
36:47
He's at 49 point something because of all the injuries.
36:51
He's you bring up these? Really.
36:52
Close to a Hall of Fame. Analytics that mean crap.
36:56
I'm so tired of it. Stop with the war crap.
36:58
He was an elite player for eight years.
37:00
Good. He's in the Hall of Pretty Good.
37:01
Is that what it is? He's he's going to have the same
37:03
issues as Mattingly I. Do like that Twitter account
37:07
that is a. Good 1 I think.
37:08
I think Mattingly is probably the best comparison to be
37:11
honest. You and ask me who's better,
37:13
David Wright or Don Manning? I'm taking Don Manningly, Donnie
37:15
Baseball and Harpy. So let's see what the war is.
37:19
I'll stop it to war. Stop with your.
37:21
War with your, your, your. What you should be high because
37:23
it was a great defensive. Player right Don with this this
37:26
segment speedy 6 pack of the and my New York baseball.
37:29
I just can't believe. That's.
37:30
Right rights. Rights is higher.
37:33
I I'll tell you what I'll do to David Wright if I ever see him.
37:36
I'll take my shoe right here. You see this nice little flat
37:39
and shove it where the sun doesn't rest.
37:40
That's right. I can't stand David Wright.
37:43
So overrated. Overrated player of all time for
37:48
the New York Mets. All right, let's go into it.
37:51
King of the Hill. And here's the King of the Hill.
37:55
This, Bobby, is the Beltline. You never ever hit below that.
37:59
Not that kind of king of the hill, you dumb ready?
38:02
Are. You ready?
38:03
This is King of the Hill. Glory hole.
38:06
I need Brittany also. Guys, get the music on and
38:13
welcome back to King of the Hill where we will take on the King
38:19
after all the peasants fight it out in round one, followed by
38:23
the joust in Round 2 for a chance to take on the King.
38:27
King Errol has kept his crown every week except for one.
38:31
Will he keep it this week? It looks like we got Goody
38:34
Jabba, Dan Radziki and Speedy PD playing tonight.
38:40
Radical King of the Hill. Any radical?
38:43
Let's get it straight here. All right, here we go.
38:46
All right, here we are. To start it off first one, best
38:50
receiving running backs of all time.
38:54
So they have to be known for their hands out of the
38:58
backfield. The way it works, we'll go in
39:01
order and then snake back like a fantasy draft.
39:04
So we'll set up the camera right here.
39:06
Dan's your first time playing. We'll let you go first on this
39:10
one. We'll put the King up top in his
39:13
slot 4. King of the Hill.
39:16
Damn, what do you? Got.
39:17
Let Danley and Tomlinson. And tell us why.
39:21
Because I watched him with The Jets when he was quote UN quote
39:24
washed and he was excellent and The Jets always suck.
39:28
So if he was good with The Jets, he must have been.
39:30
A. You wanted to jerk me off.
39:31
Before that happened. All right, Speedy.
39:36
All right, I'll go with another one that was great a little
39:38
before him, but that was Marshall Faulk.
39:40
He's not better than Ladainian Tomlinson like Eric Coleman
39:43
thinks, but I do think he still was one of the best.
39:45
Ones he was. Definitely one of the best ones
39:48
of that era. I talked about that offense
39:49
being one of the best of all time, that offense.
39:51
And that kind of bubble gum. That game changer for a pass
39:53
catching running back, getting the running backs more involved.
39:55
In that, I'll let you lick my butts.
39:58
All right, Jabba. I'm going to go with one of my
40:02
guys from Nebraska and Roger Craig.
40:05
I think his all around game was was really good and and being
40:09
able to watch him go and do what he did.
40:13
I mean he had he had over almost 5000 receiving yards.
40:18
So that should tell you something with only eight. 1000
40:21
at least. We're all right goody for two.
40:26
Go. I'm going with my guys.
40:28
CMC Christian McCaffrey, 509 receptions.
40:32
He's still on a roll. He has 4400 plus receiving
40:36
yards, 29 plus touchdowns. He caught 116 passes in 2019,
40:41
which was the most ever by a running back in a season.
40:44
He's a basically a wide receiver and a running back, and he's
40:48
still in this prime, new knee and all.
40:50
Goody second pick. #2 We're going to go at Larry Centers.
40:56
I don't know if you know who he is, but he is technically a
40:58
fullback. I know who he is. 827 catches
41:02
are the most popular running back fullback ever.
41:04
He had 101 catches in 1990. Five 6797 receiving yards, 28
41:11
tutties. Back to Jabba.
41:15
I don't know if you know who he is.
41:19
Great. Had a great rating in Madden 96.
41:23
My pinky is bigger than yours. What do you what?
41:26
Do you chance to I love him that.
41:28
That's so good. John, I liked my stream
41:30
cocktail. A guy I watched kick our butts
41:34
over and over from Kansas State and Darren Sproles, that was the
41:39
name of his game. Like, you didn't know what,
41:42
especially in college, but then, you know, to watch him get in
41:45
and everybody was like talking about his size and whatever.
41:48
Yeah, he was a little dude, but he was very elusive and and
41:50
very, very good with, you know, more receiving yards than he had
41:55
rushing yards. But also, I mean, great returner
41:57
in that too. But when you're able to, you
42:00
know, grow and build and be that size and and have the amount of
42:04
yards you had over 11,000 total yards.
42:06
So Darren Sproles. Even kick off, that's for.
42:10
Four years speedy. Another guy that played in a
42:13
Mike Martz offense and did very well, that was Matt Forte.
42:16
Another guy enjoy close to 100 catches pretty much every year.
42:19
I didn't. I don't think he had the
42:20
receiving yard totals like McCaffrey did because it wasn't
42:23
like as big. He did it the way he did it.
42:25
The way you're saying and that goody, I don't think he's better
42:28
than McCaffrey. I don't care.
42:30
He definitely still for that, for that time in that offense,
42:33
which has Jay Cutler, who was a gunslinging quarterback, so
42:35
didn't check it down as much as he should have.
42:37
Still had a lot of catches both of screens and with route
42:40
running too, was very precise for him.
42:42
So Matt Forte, Suck it. And now Dan for?
42:46
2 All right, let me let me use the goody method.
42:50
Not me. So yeah, so I looked up most
42:54
steps in a game, but I'm going to go with someone because
42:58
clearly these guys are way better to football than I am.
43:00
I only with OG Simpson as a running back at cut off two
43:05
people's heads. So unlike these guys who caught
43:08
like 1000 balls a year, he has more murders than any player in
43:12
football. So I'm going to go to OJ on my.
43:15
Thanks. Are you sure about that?
43:16
Aaron Hernandez got a couple bodies, you stick.
43:18
A finger. 2. Plays a different position.
43:20
He's a tight. In.
43:22
He's a tight in though. He got to tight in.
43:24
All right, Dan, last pick in the round.
43:27
He's a crybaby. I think I have another player.
43:30
Yeah, we do 3. So you pick 2.
43:32
Now you got to do the last one. For The Jets, because those
43:38
seats are so bad, they had to throw to somebody to avoid the
43:40
quarterback dying and I'm sure he has a lot of receptions.
43:43
I got to guess like 1000 just because that team was so
43:45
terrible with Richard Todd's quarterback.
43:47
It must have been a lot of receptions, like life saving
43:50
ones though. All right.
43:53
Speedy. All right.
43:54
I'll finish it off with a modern one night guy that I think.
43:56
Kamario. Very precise as a route runner
43:58
as well and he's still playing. Not as good of a runner as he
44:00
used to be. But Alvin Kamara as a receiver,
44:03
I think you definitely saw, I think the combinations in that
44:05
Sean Payton offense. He was rookie of the year.
44:08
And when they outside of Michael Thomas, they didn't have much
44:11
when it came to offensive all around skills.
44:12
That Kamara actually was kind of that second receiver on that
44:15
team for a long time. Obviously, the injuries caught
44:17
up to him later in his career. Never was an amazing pure runner
44:20
all the time and later parts of his crew were.
44:22
Receiving wise he's always been close to 1000 yards and probably
44:26
the best route running that I've seen at probably besides
44:28
McCaffrey. I got to go back off now.
44:31
Jabba. I'm going to go Thurman and
44:36
granted, he had a lot of rushing yards, but I just think when
44:39
those years they were going back and forth with the Cowboys, how
44:42
he was able to, you know, compete with with Emmett.
44:46
And I mean, should he had 23 receiving touchdowns and almost
44:50
5000 receiving yards. Granted, he played a while, but
44:54
I always loved when they go back and forth and they're kind of
44:57
like the Yankees. They just could never win.
44:59
Breaking news goody to finish it.
45:00
Out woody has no woody. I'm going with Mr. USC himself,
45:04
Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush, one of the most
45:07
electrifying running backs we had his rookie season, 88
45:12
catches, nearly 10 yards per reception.
45:15
The guy was incredible, drove Mercedes-Benz, had hot wives,
45:19
got tons of money and one of the Heisman got red band from the
45:24
Heisman Trophy. And then once the NIL came back,
45:27
my boy got his trophy back. So that's what I'm going.
45:30
But they did the Kardashian do, which I'm sure it does.
45:34
You live in New York. 5490 rushing yards, 18 tutties.
45:41
I need Brittany. All right, Errol, who is moving
45:43
on to the joules? I got to give Goodie a lot of
45:46
credit because I liked every one of his picks but him reading.
45:50
Off. I'm not reading it.
45:55
You talking about? He's got an AI chip in his
45:57
brain, That's what it is. I'm.
45:59
Good. You know what?
46:02
I'll give it to Goodie because. I just joked on a fruity.
46:10
Goody's never made it to the second round.
46:12
I'll take Goody, I'll take Speedy.
46:15
Speedy's always. All right, Dan and Jabba pop off
46:18
the screen. You'll come back for the third
46:20
round where we vote if someone can beat Errol in a democratic
46:25
way to usurp Dan his monarchy round #2 the joust.
46:35
I wonder it. Is Goody best scrambling
46:39
quarterbacks of all time? This type of quarterback has to
46:45
be famously known for their running ability.
46:50
Let's go back to the screen. This is easy.
46:55
Got this one in the bag. I'm talking about Mr. Dog
46:57
fighting himself. Michael Vick, he was scrambling
47:00
from the cops and he was scrambling on the field.
47:03
Career rush yards 6109 most ever by a quarterback.
47:07
He was the best player in all the NFL games I ever played.
47:10
I always pick with Atlanta because all I would do is fake
47:13
rush it around the corner, take it for a hunt and we called it
47:17
46 yard walk off TD versus the Vikings in 2010.
47:21
I mean, it's Michael Vick hands down.
47:22
Not even a question. Let's go to the the other game,
47:25
whatever the ones after this. Speedy.
47:28
All right, I'll go with Randall Cunningham in the 80s and 90s
47:32
Eagles dual threat type guy. We talked about some of his
47:34
receivers a couple weeks ago, like really making it, extending
47:37
plays the way he did it. But again, we're scrambling with
47:39
his legs too. And again, this that was the
47:41
start of the mobile quarterback. They Rodger Staubach did it
47:44
probably a little bit in the 70s.
47:46
But I would say like in terms of like the electric like freak
47:48
athlete running type quarterback Randall Cunningham was kind of
47:51
the first of that boat. Back to Goody.
47:55
We're going to kick it all the way back to my man Steve Young.
47:58
He was the perfect balance of rushing, passing, dangerous
48:03
scrambler with the legs, had an arm to carry himself over it and
48:08
he knew how to slide to the left, slide to the right or take
48:10
off. Super Bowl champion and MVP
48:13
career rushed in yards 4239 and rushing TDs.
48:17
He ended his career with 43. This guy was electrifying.
48:21
One of the best to do whatever Hall of Famer.
48:24
Speedy. Oh, you got to go with the one
48:25
currently right now and Lamar Jackson, he's the only
48:27
quarterback that's rushed for 1000 yards of the season.
48:29
And then he's had close to it on several other occasions when
48:33
he's gotten when he stayed healthy, he's at 809 hundred in
48:36
a couple of seasons. Well, his first MVP year was
48:38
about in that range. And again, Mike, Michael Vick
48:41
was probably like in terms of like the fastest 1 the.
48:43
The I am a legend. Biggest threat.
48:45
But when it comes to like Lamar, the way he's able to run and
48:47
improvise, the way he does it too in this era, it's very
48:51
impressive what he's doing and what is kind of a power scheme
48:53
with the Ravens when Greg Roman was there and now kind of
48:56
transitioning in a different. One I need a magnifying glass
48:59
for. 1000 yards of the season. I kind of have to make that a
49:02
leverage point. And last one, goody.
49:05
I don't care about rush yards in the season.
49:07
I care about getting a job done. And that's touchdowns.
49:09
And the most ever touchdowns ever was by my man Cam Newton.
49:13
All right, 75 most ever by a quarterback.
49:18
Big ass quarterback, running people over left and right,
49:21
getting the job done. 5 / 5600 rushed in yards, played for
49:26
multiple teams, stole laptops in Florida.
49:28
This guy was a true Gator through and through.
49:31
Went to the league, put on a show.
49:33
Now he's doing his own podcast. I mean, the guy's incredible.
49:36
Best scrambling. One of the best scrambling
49:38
quarterbacks I've ever seen in my entire life.
49:41
Speedy And I'll round it out with Steve McNair.
49:43
Steve McNair, rest in peace. By the way, what happened to
49:45
him? That was such a sad, sad.
49:47
Story You like that? Because that's Arrow's guy.
49:50
Well, yeah, again, and he was he was a guy that I get in the
49:52
offense too. Again, that was very.
49:54
Run Donovan McNabb, not Steve McNair.
49:56
Run. Centric run centric offense with
49:58
the Tennessee Titans in the early stages of Jeff Fisher and
50:00
then even with the Ravens too, kind of rebirthing that
50:03
quarterback position before Joe Flacco came along there and his
50:07
running ability, his dual threat combinations with not a lot of
50:10
great wide receiving talent throughout his career too, I
50:12
think was very impressive. Obviously played with a lot of
50:13
good running backs, but top 10 all the time when it comes to
50:16
rushing yards for a quarterback as well.
50:17
I'm going to go Steve McNair as my last one.
50:20
All right, Errol, who's moving on to take on the king?
50:23
I'm going to tell you this Nick Goody, I, I got it.
50:25
I'm going to go with Nick because I like all three of his
50:28
guys. I mean, Speedy actually knew
50:30
what he was talking about. Nick is reading off the screen.
50:33
So I'm. There and even in the top 10.
50:35
Nick McNair was special man. Wasn't in the top ten.
50:39
I got it. I've got the list.
50:41
You got to watch that documentary about how.
50:43
Air McNair, it's. A crazy, crazy story.
50:46
All right, so let's get everyone back in.
50:48
We're going to go up here for the the Taking on the King
50:53
round. Let's bring in all of our
50:55
earlier competitors and here we go for round three.
51:01
Errol here. I know that's kind of like going
51:03
to maybe easy for you, but the worst Jets draft picks of all
51:09
time, you're going to have to tell me the worst picks they've
51:14
ever made in the NFL draft. There are many to choose from
51:19
for this one. Errol, would you like to go
51:22
first or? 2nd I'll go first because I
51:26
remember one that came from the Ohio State Buckeyes and his last
51:30
name is Galston. Do we remember him speeding A
51:35
defensive linebacker 6 pass 6 rounds?
51:39
He was the he was, I think he was the 6th pick of the first
51:42
round. If I'm not Misty, I don't even
51:43
have this in front of me. And the guy had one tackle in
51:48
five years in the NFL. He was moved to special teams.
51:52
He was horrible. And this guy, he, his combine
51:55
was ridiculous. We talk about it, he was
51:57
breaking records. His combine, I think his his
52:00
bench press is he's still there for linebackers.
52:03
I think he benched it like 36 times to 25.
52:06
I mean, he was unbelievable at the combine.
52:09
It just shows you combines mean nothing as gold stand was the
52:14
worst defensive lineman or defensive top front 7 we've ever
52:19
seen The Jets draft. So I'll go.
52:20
I'll go with that. We're going to kick it all the
52:24
way back to Johnny Lamb Jones number two overall, the 1980s
52:28
graft. All right, This guy had Olympic
52:31
speed and no hands. This man couldn't even catch a
52:33
cold. Only have one season.
52:35
All right, Arrow, I know you looking it up.
52:37
I see you over there making sure all this is right.
52:41
Yeah, OK, look, I'm good. Only had one season, all right?
52:45
700 receiving yards and was out of the league in five years.
52:48
This guy with, you know, but kudos to him for going #2 he got
52:51
his bag, but at the end of the day he's at home eating ramen
52:56
noodles. Errol.
52:59
I, I, I will point this guy out. This guy was the number one
53:04
prospect in the country when he was brought to Penn State.
53:09
Remember this guy, Christian Hackenberg?
53:13
Remember him who couldn't hit a broadside of a barn when he came
53:16
to the New York Jets? The Jets?
53:18
Yes, the New York Jets and Mr. M as we called him as the GM or
53:23
Mr. Idiot drafted this guy in the second round.
53:26
This guy wasn't even shouldn't have been a top five first round
53:30
draft pick. He should have been a 6th, 7th
53:32
or beyond drafted player. This guy was the worst
53:36
quarterback The Jets have ever drafted in I would say 40 years.
53:40
When you talk about quarterbacks and the highest out of all of
53:43
them, and I'm talking about first rider and we'll we'll go
53:45
into the Zach Wilson trend, but this was horrible, horrible.
53:49
OK, This was worse than Zach Wilson and it's crazy to say
53:53
that. So I'm going to go Christian
53:55
Hackenberg goody. I'm going to go with current
53:59
quarterback Zach Wilson. This guy is great at banging
54:02
moms, terrible at throwing the football.
54:05
All right, let's go. He was the number two overall
54:08
pick, showed elite skills, I think.
54:11
Where do you go? Where do you go to Penn State or
54:12
something? BYU.
54:15
BYU1 of those schools with a sub, all right, poor, poor
54:19
decision making, leadership skills are trash, Doesn't get it
54:23
done. And he's not improved in three
54:25
years and he's been benched multiple times.
54:27
I mean, he's the number two pick, all right.
54:30
You're signing for a $50 million deal.
54:32
You expect the guy to show up and play and this guy hasn't got
54:34
anything done, Sat behind Aaron Rodgers.
54:36
Thank you. Learn something he hasn't.
54:39
Next question. BYU is like the only school
54:41
where he wouldn't be able to do that because they're all Mormons
54:43
there. But Errol, you're up.
54:47
This is going to be a head scratcher because I remember
54:49
this draft very, very well because this is the draft they
54:52
could have drafted Warren Sapp. Yes, and I remember this draft
54:55
very, very well because head shaking, scratch, shaking and
54:59
shaking was everything about this draft pick.
55:02
I didn't even know who this guy was when he was drafted.
55:05
I was right in front of the television screen when they
55:07
called his name. That's Kyle Brady.
55:09
Kyle Brady, tight end, when he came out of the draft, and I
55:13
remember it very, very well because it made me sick to my
55:15
stomach. Came from Penn State.
55:17
This guy was picked over Warren Sapp.
55:21
If The Jets and The Jets were sitting right there to grab him
55:24
and they went over him for Kyle Brady.
55:27
I, I, I enough said. I don't even have to talk about
55:29
it. I, I, it makes me sick to my
55:31
stomach. It's just another stupid, dumb
55:33
move by the New York Jets, a Hall of Fame Warren Sapp for
55:38
Kyle Brady. I'm done, done with the game.
55:41
Goody, finish it off all. Right.
55:43
Well, that's great. But is Warren Sapp comparable to
55:45
Emmett Smith? Who would you rather have on
55:47
your team? Warren Sapp?
55:48
Warren Sapp over Emmett Smith. Emmett Smith, I'm.
55:52
Talking about I'm talking about The Jets were primed to pick
55:55
Emmett Smith, but instead they passed up on Emmett Smith to go
55:58
with this guy named Blair Thomas, running back in the
56:00
1990s. Second overall, 2009 career
56:04
yards and Four Seasons. Trash.
56:06
Jabba can get that right now. He was taking over amidst Smith,
56:10
and that's enough said. What was that?
56:12
All right? He had no burdens.
56:14
He had no durability and and despite being a good Penn State
56:18
career player, like that was all he had.
56:20
That was it. He ain't nothing.
56:22
I'm taking Emmett Smith over Warren Sapp any day of the week.
56:24
And Blair Thomas. You could kick rocks.
56:27
All right, we'll start the voting.
56:30
I'm going to go with Errol on this one, the Vernon goals.
56:33
Of course you are. Call you a lamb bone.
56:39
Hey goody, how many yards did Zach Wilson have for his career
56:42
according to that website you were reading off of?
56:45
I don't know, I don't have a website.
56:47
Or do you have the you don't have glasses, you should get one
56:51
of those where it's like just ABS it there.
56:53
You're great. I just know he has been
56:55
improving 3 years and he's good at banging moms.
56:58
He is. He wasn't allowed to in college.
57:00
Perhaps that's why he did it when he got to the pros.
57:03
Hackenberg was unplayable so I agree.
57:06
When I was a second round pick. Horrible.
57:07
And the Kyle Brady pick is a legendary bad pick in history of
57:11
the NFL draft. So I got to go with Errol.
57:13
The only one I didn't hear was the Ken O'Brien pick.
57:15
I was going to use Ken O'Brien. Probably wasn't the worst.
57:18
Player. No.
57:19
Draft. Yeah, Well, Ken O'Brien was a
57:21
good quarterback. He.
57:22
Wasn't. Over over Dan Marina.
57:24
No, but he was a good quarterback.
57:26
He wasn't bad. It's a it's a famous story.
57:28
You're looking ones that are worst players.
57:30
A lot of people could have went with Dan Marina.
57:33
Sanchez is on there. No, Mark Sanchez is up.
57:36
There it took him to back-to-back AFC title games I.
57:38
Wouldn't say yeah. The Buck fumble.
57:39
All right, so Errol, that's my vote.
57:42
Let's go to Jabba. Because the delivery, if you
57:45
didn't know you, the delivery was fantastic.
57:49
Like I couldn't stop laughing. I mean, it was it was like if
57:54
you didn't, if you didn't and damn you.
57:56
He was like, I don't know this goody guy, but but I like him
57:59
like I'm sitting here because usually it's off the rail stuff
58:03
and you. Literally I was like.
58:06
If I've never listened to this show and never listened to you,
58:08
like this is one of the smartest human beings I've ever because
58:12
it flowed so good. And you didn't make it look like
58:15
you, but knowing you, that was unbelievable.
58:18
But Errol. Yeah.
58:19
Oh. My God that's 2 long bones.
58:23
All right, Speedy, finish it off.
58:25
I. Do love the presentation, that
58:27
was easily the best. Presentation King.
58:29
Of the Hill history I will. I'm the king, I'm the king.
58:32
I don't care if he's the king, I'm the.
58:34
King, you are the king of the presentation of your answers.
58:38
That was truly remarkable, Errol.
58:41
Definitely for the player, so. Who's the last guy you said,
58:44
Looking this guy up, I don't even know who he is.
58:47
Christian. Hacker actually would have
58:48
probably been the. Challenge you.
58:49
Challenge him. Yeah.
58:52
Christian Hackenberg probably would have been my first pick
58:54
though. Like of other thing, the only
58:56
one that I didn't hear Fish you brought up.
58:58
You brought up Ken O'Brien. The only one I was going to say
59:00
to possibly would have been D Milner as well, who I fell for,
59:03
who I thought was going to be good too at the time.
59:05
All of it in the 2013 draft. He probably would have been my
59:08
other one. How about the Louisville
59:09
Slugger? Remember him?
59:11
Louisville. Safety.
59:15
Wire you're talking about, Yeah, Yeah, again, I think he was
59:17
probably he was not not a great player, obviously.
59:20
I don't think he was as low of a low as.
59:22
We had we had one. We have had a guy on a show that
59:25
was a high draft pick for The Jets.
59:26
He wasn't really good. Yeah, I was going to include him
59:29
though, because he's been a good guy to have on the show.
59:32
You're you're. You're.
59:32
You're. You're don't.
59:35
Worry we'll get him back on the show when Travis Hunter gets his
59:37
first career reception. Remember love, Quinton.
59:39
Couples but. He was never going to, I was, I
59:42
was never going to include Quinton couples and that.
59:45
Love you. I love you, Q.
59:49
Although D Milner says that Goody's the king there, he's
59:52
not. You can cut the music.
59:54
Errol stays the king. Can I get another week?
59:57
Yeah, because I would have. King of the Hill.
59:59
I probably would have went Hackenberg, then Goldston and
1:00:01
then D Milner was my three that I was thinking, but Brady?
1:00:03
Was good, that's why. You were in the second round and
1:00:05
that was the king. Because you're the king of the
1:00:08
presentations. I am not mad.
1:00:10
You made it over me. I It is rigged, Jake.
1:00:13
I know it. This game is rigged.
1:00:15
I get out of here. What is Jake smoking all?
1:00:19
Right. I never said it had to be a fair
1:00:21
last round for the King like. No, I thought that was.
1:00:25
I didn't think As soon as you told me that, I knew.
1:00:27
Good. He could look it all up.
1:00:29
There's no way he's beating me. I knew it ran away.
1:00:32
I'm good. I think I know that jets a
1:00:35
little bit better than you. Thank you to all the fans tuning
1:00:40

1:01:00

1:01:03
social media markets and and all the different platforms that
1:01:06

1:01:09

1:01:10
to them and Odyssey letting us post our show on their network.
1:01:13
Yeah, we'll be back on Wednesday.
1:01:15
Spudo we have on. All right, joining the show
1:01:17
again for the first time in a couple of years, 8:45 will be
1:01:20
our friend Bashar Breeland, former Commanders, Chiefs,
1:01:22
Vikings cornerback at 8:45. And then to be determined on
1:01:25
time is our friend, Mr. Jim Lehrer.
1:01:27
I want to say something. Bashar Breeland, the last time
1:01:30
he was on a show, I had to get a lot out of him, and it took a
1:01:34
while to get him open. And then two weeks after we
1:01:37
interviewed him, he was arrested.
1:01:39
For what? What did?
1:01:41
He, Jeff, told us at the time you had some kind of something
1:01:44
kind of drug arrest. He got a drug arrest.
1:01:46
He had like a machine gun. He was caught with a machine gun
1:01:48
and, and, and we read the story. It was absolutely crazy and and
1:01:52
Breeland was fantastic on the show.
1:01:54
I remember, I remember that was at the time the Giants ate a lot
1:01:57
of corners. I was trying to recruit him to
1:01:58
come to the Giants. Yeah.
1:01:59
So and then and then Pete, Pete Burstick, we had on.
1:02:02
Like, perfect for the Giants because you had time.
1:02:04
Yes. No, you know why it would have
1:02:05
been perfect? Because you had another guy
1:02:07
that, you know, had had a dead body in his basement.
1:02:10
Because of his good old brother, Jack Rabbit.
1:02:12
Yeah, the Jack Rabbit. Remember that story?
1:02:15
Yeah, that was crazy. He had a couple of good years.
1:02:18
He was pretty good in coverage. Yeah, so was, so was.
1:02:21
I'd cover ups apparently too. I said he was good.
1:02:26
They his brother wrapped the dead body in his basement and
1:02:28
put it in the corner. Nobody saw it.
1:02:30
Nobody saw a dead body in the corner.
1:02:32
These things happen. Yeah, I'm sure it does.
1:02:34
He was definitely jumping over it, If you know what I.
1:02:37
Mean well, they happen, yeah. Definitely hiding a dead body
1:02:40
for a week or two in his basement.
1:02:42
How do you not smell it? Yeah, I, I figure.
1:02:46
Anyways, thank you to all the fans.
1:02:47
And again, we'll be back on Wednesday.
1:02:49
It was a great show. Speedy, do you have anything?
1:02:53
You have anything? Give us a funny, Funny.
1:02:54
Ending Goody goody wrapping up spit.
1:02:57
It out, but maybe that go ahead something.
1:03:00
No, because you're gibbering and jabbering.
1:03:03
Goody, Are you sure that dead body wasn't Eli Apple's giant's
1:03:05
career? Figure as long as she's using
1:03:08
