- 2:53Speaker 1: So let's talk some baseball start out in Atlanta. This
- 2:55Speaker 1: is the story that caught my attention, and I think
- 2:59Speaker 1: it's in This happens a lot in baseball, more so
- 3:02Speaker 1: in baseball than other sports. So a couple years back,
- 3:06Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves, that's a baseball team, and the Atlanta
- 3:10Speaker 1: Braves had a pitcher named Spencer Stryder who scared the
- 3:15Speaker 1: bajeebers out of me. I say, oh, my god, this
- 3:17Speaker 1: guy's going to dominate the baseball circuit for the next
- 3:20Speaker 1: ten years. Total stud watch out. And he was great.
- 3:26Speaker 1: He I won twenty games, is first real full season
- 3:30Speaker 1: in the big leagues. I was like, my god, the
- 3:32Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves are set well, the season's about to begin here.
- 3:38Speaker 1: In fact, it begins tomorrow. This is it's early Tuesday.
- 3:42Speaker 1: The season begins on Wednesday, and Spencer Stryder will start
- 3:46Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six baseball season, where he has been
- 3:49Speaker 1: quite a bit in recent years on what we used
- 3:52Speaker 1: to call back in the day the disabled list, but
- 3:55Speaker 1: the Wolkester's got the baseball, so now they call it
- 3:57Speaker 1: the injured list because I guess disabled offensive and the injury,
- 4:03Speaker 1: the injury for Spencer Strider an oblique strain, an oblique strain.
- 4:09Speaker 1: You think if I gave some of these people that
- 4:11Speaker 1: call the show one thousand dollars, they would be able
- 4:13Speaker 1: to tell you what an o bleak is. Probably not,
- 4:16Speaker 1: probably not to muscle on the side of your They
- 4:21Speaker 1: call it the trunk, the middle part of your body. There,
- 4:23Speaker 1: the trunk part of your body, no legs, no arms,
- 4:25Speaker 1: just the middle part. So anyway, we are told the
- 4:27Speaker 1: good news. I love this, the good news bad news.
- 4:30Speaker 1: The good news is the injury. It's not an arm injury,
- 4:33Speaker 1: it's just it's an oblique and all that. The bad
- 4:35Speaker 1: news is he's gonna miss six weeks, which my computer
- 4:39Speaker 1: like brain tells me is a month and a half
- 4:43Speaker 1: that he will be out, Bye bye, that's it, see
- 4:46Speaker 1: you later. And not only that, he would have to
- 4:50Speaker 1: then go and work bullpen sessions and minor league assignments
- 4:54Speaker 1: to come back after that because he is not going
- 4:57Speaker 1: to be able to throw the baseball until the injury heals.
- 5:02Speaker 1: And so the oblique muscle if you need to twist
- 5:07Speaker 1: your body or bend your body it's a problem. Have
- 5:10Speaker 1: you ever seen a pitcher that has been able to
- 5:13Speaker 1: throw a baseball without twisting their body or bending their body?
- 5:20Speaker 1: Because I've not seen it. I've not seen it. I
- 5:22Speaker 1: have not seen it. So anyway, as a result, he's
- 5:26Speaker 1: gonna be out for a while. So that it's good
- 5:27Speaker 1: jumping off point, let us discuss the question at Atlanta Bright. Now,
- 5:34Speaker 1: this is if anyone's going to take down the Dodgers
- 5:36Speaker 1: in the National League. The smart people claim it's the Braves,
- 5:39Speaker 1: that they're the top team the threat to the Dodgers,
- 5:42Speaker 1: not the Podres or the Giants, or the Phillies or
- 5:46Speaker 1: the Cubs, It's the Atlanta Braves. So my thought on
- 5:52Speaker 1: the question is this, you know, how are you reading
- 5:55Speaker 1: this latest development? That's the question, how are you reading
- 5:58Speaker 1: this latest development? With Spencer Strider, It's gonna be out
- 6:00Speaker 1: at least a month and a half, likely two and
- 6:02Speaker 1: a half months. I'm gonna say so my observations, I've
- 6:05Speaker 1: got the better business Bureau, spirit animal, and doctor pimple Popper,
- 6:12Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
- 6:18Speaker 1: we are going to throw a knuckleball, is what we're
- 6:22Speaker 1: going to do. Now, Number it is now fair to
- 6:34Speaker 1: declare without all precincts reporting in. We have now decided
- 6:40Speaker 1: that Spencer Strider, who looked like the next great Braves
- 6:45Speaker 1: Pitcher online with that golden era of Maddox, Glavin and Smoltz,
- 6:50Speaker 1: can now be classified as a shooting star. That's it.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I danced in the sky little Dancy in the sky
- 7:00Speaker 1: there and then faded into the darkness. A one hit wonder.
- 7:06Speaker 1: He was a lou Bega Mambo number five. Remember that
- 7:10Speaker 1: song Mambo number five was popular? Right, Because I'm making
- 7:14Speaker 1: too many music references because there's a lot of music
- 7:17Speaker 1: snobs and I'm not a music guy. I just know
- 7:19Speaker 1: a little bit on the surface when it comes to music.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I'm not a music guy. And the music snob loves
- 7:25Speaker 1: to say, Hey, sporty boy, you don't know what you're
- 7:27Speaker 1: talking about. But I'm pretty sure that that was the
- 7:30Speaker 1: only hit a little bit, uh you know that? Remember
- 7:33Speaker 1: the song Monica exactly? Yeah, a one hit wonder. That
- 7:37Speaker 1: is what Spencer Streider is. Baseball version of a band
- 7:41Speaker 1: that had one catchy song that everyone played for a
- 7:45Speaker 1: couple of months. Back when people used to do that,
- 7:47Speaker 1: when everyone was listening to the same stuff, and all
- 7:49Speaker 1: that and then disappeared and then popped up years later
- 7:53Speaker 1: doing the Country Fair circuit, which is which is just great.
- 7:57Speaker 1: And twenty twenty three first Spencer Strider was amazing. That
- 8:03Speaker 1: was a solid gold. Hell he went platinum. He went platinum.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Since then, Spencer Strider has an ERA of over five
- 8:11Speaker 1: almost five and a half, straight to the bargain bin
- 8:14Speaker 1: of baseball. And if you look at the red marks
- 8:18Speaker 1: on his injury report, it's the same color of the
- 8:22Speaker 1: Angels alternative uniforms, those red red jerseys that they wear.
- 8:26Speaker 1: And so now he's back yet again on the il
- 8:30Speaker 1: Spencer Strider with this oblique injury. This is what he is.
- 8:34Speaker 1: This is who he is. This is not a detour,
- 8:36Speaker 1: this is a road map. It is a treasure map.
- 8:39Speaker 1: He's on the injury list, you know so much. It's like,
- 8:43Speaker 1: my god, what are you doing? And it's just bodies
- 8:46Speaker 1: either falling apart or something's going on here. And the
- 8:50Speaker 1: season begins and they're like, oh, this guy. They were
- 8:54Speaker 1: getting reports out. I was reading some of the stories
- 8:56Speaker 1: out of the Atlanta Brave spring training camp. They're like,
- 8:58Speaker 1: this guy looks great and he's throwing the mid nineties again.
- 9:01Speaker 1: The veloss. He's up a little higher now what it was,
- 9:03Speaker 1: but not that low, and things are looking good and
- 9:06Speaker 1: boom goes the dynamite. Boom goes the dynamite pulled just
- 9:10Speaker 1: out of there. See you later. So, unfortunately, pitching is
- 9:13Speaker 1: a full body operation. And so they said, it's not
- 9:16Speaker 1: the arm, the oblique would be what the transmission in
- 9:21Speaker 1: the automobile. I believe the transmission, the chassis, the whole operation.
- 9:25Speaker 1: So you cannot separate it, cannot do it. So he's
- 9:29Speaker 1: gone from Spencer Stratter's gone from flamethrower the next big
- 9:34Speaker 1: thing to a flickering candle in the wind, a candle
- 9:41Speaker 1: in the wind. The intimidation, eh, not quite there, not
- 9:46Speaker 1: quite there. Now it's essentially like traffic cones out on
- 9:49Speaker 1: the highway. Everyone's cruising for a bruising and right through
- 9:54Speaker 1: those traffic cones like that, and the Braves what they
- 9:57Speaker 1: ought to do here is contact the Better Business Bureau,
- 10:00Speaker 1: the BBB, contact them and say, hey, we thought we
- 10:04Speaker 1: had found a franchise pillar. The Braves should say to
- 10:08Speaker 1: the Better Business Bureau in Spencer Strider. And instead what
- 10:12Speaker 1: they got was a sand castle, which was really good
- 10:16Speaker 1: until the tide came in, and it didn't come in
- 10:19Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, but in twenty four and twenty
- 10:21Speaker 1: five it came in, and it appears here in twenty
- 10:23Speaker 1: twenty six, it is coming in yet again. So the
- 10:26Speaker 1: mallor reality check the cy young level version of Spencer
- 10:32Speaker 1: Stryder sing with me now, not alada dalada, Hey go
- 10:37Speaker 1: bye dead and buried. That's in the afterlife that see
- 10:40Speaker 1: you later. We'll tell stories. Remember that year Spencer Strider
- 10:43Speaker 1: went twenty games. He's likely not gonna win twenty games
- 10:46Speaker 1: the rest of his career the way he's going at
- 10:48Speaker 1: this particular moment. Meanwhile, to Damaged Goods two point zero,
- 10:54Speaker 1: we go to La La Land, where the Doyers and
- 10:58Speaker 1: the dorritside thin one spring training game. They begin on Thursday,
- 11:03Speaker 1: begin on Thursday. Giants and Yankees begin the baseball season
- 11:06Speaker 1: on Wednesday. So anyway, the spring training festivities wrapping up
- 11:10Speaker 1: at this particular point, the Dodgers did what they normally
- 11:12Speaker 1: do it this time of the year, and every team
- 11:13Speaker 1: that's had this guy in the roster they have announced
- 11:16Speaker 1: at one of their star players is going on the
- 11:18Speaker 1: injured list. Now they announced their twenty twenty six starting rotation.
- 11:22Speaker 1: This is the most dominant team in all the baseball
- 11:24Speaker 1: and it's just that no one's gonna watch. The Dodgers
- 11:27Speaker 1: are gonna win. You don't even have to play the games.
- 11:30Speaker 1: All that crap. We gotta hear. So the Dodgers' rotation
- 11:33Speaker 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, which is Japanese for big balls. Man, what
- 11:38Speaker 1: did he have big balls in the World Series? So
- 11:40Speaker 1: he's the number one guy. Thank god Kershaw's not on
- 11:44Speaker 1: this team. So Emmett Sheehan is in the rotation. I
- 11:46Speaker 1: think he's gonna start second, and then Tyler Glass now
- 11:49Speaker 1: who will be injured by the end of April, and
- 11:54Speaker 1: Roki Sazaki will also be in there, and then Otani's
- 11:57Speaker 1: the number five starter. More on Sazaki later as he
- 12:00Speaker 1: is a gas can. And then some You've got Dave Roberts,
- 12:04Speaker 1: who made the announcement. He mentioned this a few days ago.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Now it's confirmed. Blake Snell, bro I ain't playing unless
- 12:12Speaker 1: I get mine bra Blake Snell is gonna shockingly be
- 12:17Speaker 1: on the injured list and he will be out until
- 12:20Speaker 1: sometime in the middle of May. Hmmmm. Things that make
- 12:25Speaker 1: you go m all right. Question, here's the question. Why
- 12:31Speaker 1: is it every single year with this guy? How is
- 12:36Speaker 1: Dodger pitcher Blake Snell never ever ready on time? It's unbelievable.
- 12:45Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's like the married guy with
- 12:47Speaker 1: the wife who I'll be ready in thirty minute. No,
- 12:50Speaker 1: you're ready in two hours. What's up with that? And
- 12:53Speaker 1: Blake Snell treats Opening day like it's jury duty. Anything
- 12:58Speaker 1: he can do to get out of Opening Day. This
- 13:00Speaker 1: guy wants to do it. There must be some great
- 13:02Speaker 1: twitch stuff going on and he wants to do that.
- 13:05Speaker 1: I don't want to be bothered to pitch. Are you
- 13:06Speaker 1: kidding me? Now? We are skeptical on whether or not
- 13:10Speaker 1: these are legitimate injuries or it's just like the buffering
- 13:15Speaker 1: wheel of death when the regular season is about to begin.
- 13:18Speaker 1: You know that thing on your computer that keeps buffering.
- 13:20Speaker 1: You're like, come on, stop stop stop stop stop stop
- 13:22Speaker 1: buffering like that, and it's like, hey, hold on, bro,
- 13:27Speaker 1: I got Fortnite over here. I can't, dude, I gotta
- 13:29Speaker 1: concentrate on Fortnite. I must concentrate on Fortnite. And don't
- 13:34Speaker 1: worry though, I'm told that Blake Snell will be fine
- 13:36Speaker 1: because he will get shoulder RUPs from that Dodgers suck
- 13:39Speaker 1: up Vassa will give him shoulder RUPs. So I think
- 13:42Speaker 1: he'll be okay there eventually. And the Dodgers are also
- 13:46Speaker 1: culpable as well for saying, oh, take your time, take
- 13:49Speaker 1: your time. Yeah, what are they running a day spa
- 13:52Speaker 1: over there? They got a nice day spa. You see.
- 13:55Speaker 1: The Dodgers raised parking ten dollars from last year's forty
- 13:58Speaker 1: five dollars to park your car. What forty five bucks
- 14:02Speaker 1: to park your car Dodger Stadium. They got no shame
- 14:05Speaker 1: over there. That is insane. Forty five dollars to park
- 14:08Speaker 1: your car. They give you an oil rub down while
- 14:13Speaker 1: they're there. My god, forty five bucks. Anyway, back to
- 14:19Speaker 1: the point at hand, So every year, going back to
- 14:22Speaker 1: Tampa when he became famous, I ain't playing unless I
- 14:25Speaker 1: get mine bro I'm risking my libra. And then to
- 14:29Speaker 1: San Diego and San Francisco. It's the same act. April
- 14:33Speaker 1: and May it is extended vacation and June. Hey guys,
- 14:39Speaker 1: I'm starting to stretch a little bit. I'm starting to stretch.
- 14:43Speaker 1: He makes Kawhi Leonard look like an iron man. This
- 14:46Speaker 1: Blake Snell. He does and he treats half the first
- 14:51Speaker 1: half of the season April, May and June. Blake Snell
- 14:54Speaker 1: treats it like it's like it's downloadable content on the
- 14:59Speaker 1: video game, downloadable content. That's it. And you know, the
- 15:02Speaker 1: jock sniffers, of course, defend him. The fanboys in the
- 15:04Speaker 1: media defend Blake Snow. It's a slow building. You'll give
- 15:07Speaker 1: them time, He'll be okay, okay, yeah, well I love
- 15:12Speaker 1: the fields. Well it doesn't matter, you know, just as
- 15:13Speaker 1: long as he's there for the playoffs. Like, okay, So
- 15:16Speaker 1: the Dodgers keep paying these guys tons of money so
- 15:18Speaker 1: they can charge forty five dollars price godge their fans
- 15:21Speaker 1: for parking, and it's okay for him to miss half
- 15:23Speaker 1: the half the year. Come on, not in my world.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Maybe in your world, your loser world, but not in
- 15:29Speaker 1: my world. I call that being late malfeasance, being late
- 15:32Speaker 1: to work and all that. And now he's he's the
- 15:36Speaker 1: only guy who's spring training ends around the All Star Game.
- 15:42Speaker 1: That's it. And his spirit animal, I determined, Blake Snell's
- 15:45Speaker 1: spirit animal Dodger Pitcher. Blake snell spirit animal Garfield, the cat.
- 15:51Speaker 1: He's got the trifecta. He likes snacks, naps, and video games.
- 15:55Speaker 1: All he needs is an addiction to lasagna. And who
- 15:58Speaker 1: doesn't like lazanna. It's the perfect meal. You can get
- 16:02Speaker 1: it with meat or without. Me just have a cheesy lasagna.
- 16:05Speaker 1: You can put weird vegetables in there. Lazagn is the
- 16:08Speaker 1: perfect meal. So I'm sure he probably does like lazagna.
- 16:11Speaker 1: And it's great. You could eat it while you got
- 16:13Speaker 1: the joystick in one hand, you got the Twitch camera there,
- 16:16Speaker 1: and you're eating your lasagna like that's a professional athlete
- 16:19Speaker 1: place now right there. So there you go. It is
- 16:23Speaker 1: just the whole thing's ridiculous at this point. And again
- 16:26Speaker 1: the Dodgers are enabling this. They're okay with it. It's like,
- 16:28Speaker 1: as long as you're there for the last couple of
- 16:30Speaker 1: months of the year, we're okay. Remember he got lit
- 16:33Speaker 1: up in the World Series, just absolutely torched by Toronto.
- 16:35Speaker 1: I hated to see that, so sad. Hey, the Dodgers
- 16:40Speaker 1: won anyway, But it's the old Hollywood script, right, disappear,
- 16:44Speaker 1: disappear early, and then have the dramatic second half comeback
- 16:48Speaker 1: and go win the Oscar. All right, last word quick? Right,
- 16:52Speaker 1: we go to the saddest place in baseball, otherwise known
- 16:57Speaker 1: as the Big A. So I had a couple of
- 17:02Speaker 1: our listeners who were at the Angel Dodger game, not
- 17:06Speaker 1: on Tuesday or not on Monday. Rather that was at
- 17:09Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, but on Sunday, I think it was Sunday, right,
- 17:12Speaker 1: They played a game at Anaheim Stadium whatever it's called now,
- 17:16Speaker 1: Angel Stadium whatever, And so I guess this went viral.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I don't know if these guys took it or they
- 17:21Speaker 1: found the photo online, but there's it did go viral.
- 17:24Speaker 1: There's a photo and they try to dress up the ballpark,
- 17:26Speaker 1: and they do this pretty much every ballpark I've been to,
- 17:28Speaker 1: where they put giant sticker like fat head things if
- 17:32Speaker 1: those are still a thing. They put these up of
- 17:36Speaker 1: different players on the team. And so the Angels went
- 17:38Speaker 1: viral for putting up images of pitcher Alec Manoa around
- 17:44Speaker 1: the Big A. At least one. I think there were
- 17:46Speaker 1: more than that around the stadium, and Manoa trying to
- 17:50Speaker 1: jump start his career. He has as many wins with
- 17:53Speaker 1: the Angels as you do. He's never pitched a regular
- 17:57Speaker 1: season game with the Angels. He's had a dormant we
- 18:00Speaker 1: talked about Spencer Streyder. Well, this guy's Spencer Strider on
- 18:03Speaker 1: steroids when it comes to big arrival and then quick exit,
- 18:10Speaker 1: vanishing act, that whole thing. He's a reclamation project. So
- 18:15Speaker 1: the question what is the word? What is the word
- 18:20Speaker 1: for the Angels putting images up of a reclamation project picture?
- 18:26Speaker 1: They took a flyer on alec Manoa around the Big A.
- 18:32Speaker 1: My word is bewildering with a capital B. That is
- 18:37Speaker 1: my word, bewildering. I'd like to know the person who
- 18:40Speaker 1: signed off on this little arts and crafts project there
- 18:44Speaker 1: with the Angels, like somebody had to say, okay, we
- 18:46Speaker 1: need some we need some photos now. In fairness, there's
- 18:50Speaker 1: really no one else to put up there. They all suck.
- 18:52Speaker 1: There's a bunch of no names there. They got Trout
- 18:54Speaker 1: has heard all the time, and that's it. And it's
- 18:57Speaker 1: essentially a triple A roster. Even with that, why not
- 19:02Speaker 1: celebrate the Angels at one point had a good franchise
- 19:06Speaker 1: before Arti Marino ruined it. Like they used to have
- 19:08Speaker 1: good players, So why not celebrate some of those guys
- 19:11Speaker 1: put up Darren Urstad's photo Classic foot If you don't
- 19:15Speaker 1: have anyone on the team. Who's any good now, But
- 19:16Speaker 1: celebrate your past. Put Chuck Finley up there, or Gary
- 19:21Speaker 1: Pettis or Devon White, some of the whole school guys,
- 19:23Speaker 1: Wally Joyner, some of those guys, or Troy Loss instead.
- 19:28Speaker 1: You put Alec Manoa. Come on, seriously, and that is
- 19:34Speaker 1: why the Angels are the satus team. But they do
- 19:36Speaker 1: have cheap tickets, and moms in Orange County don't care.
- 19:39Speaker 1: The moms just want a safe place to go to

- 38:41Speaker 1: Mickey Mantle from Andy in Lina Lakes, Minnesota. Jessica Chastain,
- 38:45Speaker 1: who's forty nine to day from Late night drug tester?
- 38:48Speaker 1: What say you, Lorena? I have to sneeze? Okay, that
- 38:51Speaker 1: is incorrect. It is Gary Templeton is the correct answer.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Who gave one of the all time great quotes about
- 38:57Speaker 1: the All Star Game. If I ain't starting, I ain't
- 39:00Speaker 1: de Parton.
- 39:02Speaker 2: It's maller.
- 39:03Speaker 1: How about that? To the third degree?
- 39:07Speaker 6: This is what Lions running back Jamier Gibbs is the
- 39:12Speaker 6: betting favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year next
- 39:14Speaker 6: season at plus seven hundred odds. Ben, do you think
- 39:16Speaker 6: the departure of David Montgomery will lead to Gibbs having
- 39:19Speaker 6: a monster season?
- 39:21Speaker 1: I would not take that bet. He's a good player,
- 39:24Speaker 1: very good, good player. The Lions I don't think are
- 39:27Speaker 1: going to be good enough. You gotta be really, really good.
- 39:29Speaker 1: I think the Lions will be a mid level team.
- 39:32Speaker 1: Jared Goff starting to go to the wrong direction. So
- 39:34Speaker 1: Gibbs will be great, but he's not gonna be the
- 39:36Speaker 1: offensive player.
- 39:36Speaker 6: There next a bipartisan bill is introduced to Congress on
- 39:39Speaker 6: Monday that looks to banned prediction markets for sporting events.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Then do you think this bill will pass?
- 39:45Speaker 4: Well?
- 39:45Speaker 1: This it's always about how much lobbying. There's a war
- 39:49Speaker 1: going on between the gambling companies and the prediction market.
- 39:52Speaker 1: Which are you know, listen, they're gambling operations, and so
- 39:55Speaker 1: it's whoever can rub the back of the politicians more
- 39:59Speaker 1: and give them more donations, We'll get that law pass.
- 40:02Speaker 1: I think there's room for everything. A lot of people
- 40:06Speaker 1: upset with the prediction markets that they're messing things up.
- 40:08Speaker 6: Next, it was reported over the weekend that New England
- 40:10Speaker 6: Patriots could potentially target free agent Joey Bosa. Do you
- 40:14Speaker 6: think Bosa can still be a difference maker at this
- 40:15Speaker 6: point in his career.
- 40:16Speaker 1: If you need a guy that can camp out in
- 40:18Speaker 1: the injury tent, Coop and miss half the games, then
- 40:22Speaker 1: he'd be the perfect edition to your poop. No, what
- 40:24Speaker 1: do you doing? He's always heard? He's like all these
- 40:25Speaker 1: other guys that are always heard. Stop sending guys that
- 40:28Speaker 1: are always hurt. How'd we go? He passes?
- 40:30Speaker 4: Edition? Eh? By god?
- 40:31Speaker 1: I got the game? Hey dog,
