And the man, the Mets are going to give him a significant.
0:04
You're going to. Have a ton of money to spend.
0:06
Why not pulling in one of the top three offensive players in
0:09
the league? We're going to be looking at
0:19
Aaron George and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
0:22
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:25
You don't see LeBron doing that. A.
0:27
Game where? You got to go.
0:28
Before. I told you, giant feet, Saquon
0:31
Barkley at this You're listening to Jabba and
1:32
the Mouth. Mouth, 631-672-3108 is that I'm
1:42
going to call. You're listening to Jabba and
1:47
the Mouth. Jabba right now is in Kansas
1:50
City. His son is pitching tonight, so
1:53
we probably aren't going to see him.
1:55
He might pop in, might not, but you will be back on Thursday.
1:59
Yes, you know who I am. My name is Errol Marx.
2:02
They call me the mouth. As you heard, my executive
2:05
producer, Mr. Aaron Fish Fishman, Mr. Speedy.
2:08
Pee pee pee. Well, PD pee pee, whatever you
2:10
want to call him, he's here. My exact.
2:14
Well, he's my producer. He's my other half, my Co host
2:18
on the board, Tommy Popes in the back end.
2:21
We have some interns. We got Zach, we're going to have
2:25
Dylan. All of the guys are going to be
2:26
popping in and popping out. And we have Mr. NR Media
2:30
himself, the one they call NIF, or we call him the NIF man, The
2:36
leash, as we always say. Yeah, well, there's a lot of
2:41
people putting somebody on a leash.
2:43
Remember, you can go to our website at

www.worldwidesportsradio.com. Check out all our shows
2:50
throughout the week, including Jabba and the Mouth, every
2:53
single Mondays and Thursdays at 6:45 PM.
2:58
All you have to do to tune in and check out our local listings
3:00
for all our shows is go to our website at
3:03
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. Oscar Nebraska is more about the
3:12
cornfields and hanging out over there and eating as many pieces
3:15
of corn as you possibly can. You want to boil them, You want
3:18
to roast them. I mean, has anybody tried
3:20
roasted corn before? Because a lot of people haven't.
3:24
Because I have a friend and I, we were at a BBQ I think a week
3:28
ago was a week and a half ago and we went to this BBQ we were
3:31
invited to and they were roasting corn and they, he told
3:36
me he's never had roasted corn before.
3:37
I said never had no. I usually have him in like a can
3:41
or I'll, I'll eat it off, you know, corn on the cob.
3:43
But if we boil it. So I said you've never roasted a
3:46
corn before. He said no.
3:47
This is the first time I've ever had it.
3:49
So I guess he's hiding behind a rock or something because who
3:52
has never had roasted corn? If you go to Dallas or you go to
3:56
one of these cities that you know are big into BBQ, the first
4:00
thing you're going to ask for is some roasted corn.
4:02
That's me. I mean, it has to be extra
4:05
butter on it because I, I, I can't eat corn without butter.
4:09
I know it's it's so do you? Do you like it when you see the
4:12
char on the outside or do you not want it when you see that?
4:15
It depends. It depends on who's cooking it
4:17
and, and, and it depends what I'm eating it with, you know, So
4:21
if it's just plain old roasted corn, I I don't want any char on
4:26
on it. But if it's I'm, I'm eating a
4:28
steak or I'm eating a hamburger with it, yeah, why not?
4:31
I'm not going to taste the difference.
4:33
So and I to me, what I don't understand with people when
4:36
they're eating corn, you're eating on a cob.
4:39
That's why you're, you're when they're making, you're eating on
4:41
a cob. Why do they seem to just like, I
4:44
guess they use a knife and they not they use it to, to take all
4:47
the corn off the cob. I mean, what is the point?
4:50
They eat it out of a pot or eat it out of a can, you know, if
4:53
that's the way you're going to go because the, the whole point
4:56
of it is, is eating it off the cob.
4:59
And, and I know, and one of the worst things I hate about corn
5:02
is it getting stuck in your teeth.
5:05
It happens all the time. So I, that's the only thing I
5:09
hate about corn. And then I'm trying to floss and
5:12
trying to get between my teeth and certain spots in your teeth,
5:15
you can't reach it. It's the worst feeling in the
5:17
world when you're trying to get that one piece of corn out of
5:20
your teeth. So especially I, so I remember
5:24
it was like it was a couple of years ago and I, me and Speedy
5:28
were doing a show and my mom had my brother drop off corn and I'm
5:34
just like such a corn eater. So I had 2-2 pieces of corn on
5:38
the cob and I was eating it on the show when when Speedy was
5:41
speaking or we would go to like a quick break.
5:45
And one time I remember because it bothered the hell at me.
5:48
I had this like piece got grinded up into one of my like
5:53
teeth and I was trying to RIP it out during the show and it was
5:57
so annoying that it started to it started to inflamed on one
6:00
side of my mouth because it was sharp and my whole gum on the
6:05
left side of my mouth got inflamed that I had to go to the
6:08
dentist the next day because it got infected.
6:10
So that was that was like 3 years ago.
6:12
I'll never forget it. Could you imagine doing a show
6:15
where by the way, if anybody watches my mouth move on my left
6:19
side, on the left side of my mouth, it doesn't open as much
6:22
as I'm on my right side is because my jaw when I was a kid
6:25
locked when I was in I was in a hockey fight and I got punched
6:30
in the jaw in the hockey fight and my jaw locked up and it had
6:33
to be popped it back into place. And when it did I I've since
6:38
then, I've always had problems with my jaw and speak it.
6:42
If you watch me speak the left side, well, it's actually it's
6:45
my right side on the right side on on my mouth.
6:48
It, it doesn't open up as as as as high or whatever as long as
6:54
my left side. So it's if anybody knows me and
6:57
knows how I speak, they can tell.
6:59
So just find facts on why I when you see me speak you, you can
7:05
tell one side of my mouth all happens longer.
7:06
Than that hey was your voice. Did it sound a little different
7:09
before that happened? I don't know.
7:11
They say sometimes when like you, you have like a jaw thing,
7:14
like the way you sound things that comes out differently
7:17
afterwards because obviously a very distinct voice, man, like
7:20
everybody knows that listens to the show.
7:23
And I, I just sometimes it's like, Oh yeah, there's a reason
7:27
for that. You know, it could be something.
7:29
I don't know. I I've always had a unique voice
7:32
and I always was told by many different friends of mine,
7:35
especially when they see me on a mic when I'm emceeing at a
7:38
party, they're like, wow, you could tell your voice a mile
7:41
away. Even I was at I, I said that I
7:44
was, I was at the mall about a week or two weeks ago and I
7:46
haven't seen my Barber. This is a Barber I used to go to
7:49
when I was a kid. Haven't seen him in years.
7:51
And I walked into the store as soon as I was speaking to my
7:53
girlfriend, he turned around. He's like, I knew that voice,
7:56
voice from a mile away, he says. I knew that as soon as you
7:59
walked in, I knew where that voice was coming from.
8:02
You have such a distinct voice, he said.
8:03
And you have and I've been told by I and Eagle and many
8:06
different people in the industry like you can't teach voices and,
8:10
and and and you have a very distinguished voice and and
8:15
distinct and, and that's what's so, you know, that's what makes
8:18
you a little bit more different than everybody else.
8:20
So I appreciate all the guys that and girls that have given
8:23
me compliments over the years on on my voice.
8:25
And, and it's not, that's what I'm worried about.
8:27
My girlfriend for years is like, I don't think I have, I have a
8:31
very nice nose, but it's not one of those beautiful, like, what
8:34
are they butt noses? And my girlfriend always told me
8:37
he's like, you know, if you went and got a nose job, you, it
8:40
would make you even look more sexier.
8:41
And I was like, you know, I was thinking about it and then I
8:43
went to speak to a doctor and he was like, well, you know, if you
8:46
get your nose fixed a little bit, you get it broken or re,
8:50
you know, re broke, whatever, it could change your voice a little
8:53
bit. So I, I get a little worried
8:55
that I, I might, and I have a problem with my voice if I ever
8:58
did something like that. So it's something it's it's, I
9:01
guess you could say it's a food for thought, but I don't know if
9:04
I'm going to eat any corn anymore while I'm doing a show.
9:07
The New York Yankees Daily News Gary Phillips reported Sunday
9:11
that both AL fielders Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones are
9:15
not likely to be on the Yankees opening day roster.
9:19
GM Brian Cashman mentioned how Dominguez getting everyday reps
9:24
is in the best interest for his development at 23 years old, and
9:29
he is likely to start this season in AAA after the re
9:34
signing of Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham in the offseason.
9:39
Dominguez will still likely compete for the final spot with
9:44
the Yankees and the Yankees bench with the utility man
9:47
Oswaldo Cabrera, but it will be hard to find a spot in the
9:53
outfield with Judge, Grisham and and Bellinger already there and
9:57
stand at the DH if the intention is The Martian to get regular
10:03
reps. Manager Aaron Boone discussed
10:06
trying Dominguez at center field, which is absolutely
10:09
horrible, although he struggled in left field last season,
10:12
eventually costing him playing time in late season and
10:17
playoffs. Another top Yankee prospect and
10:21
outfield dispenser, Jones is listed behind Dominguez on the
10:24
Yankees depth charts. Cashman also was quoted saying
10:28
that Jones is blocked in both the outfield and at first base,
10:33
with them bringing back Paul Goldschmidt and still having Ben
10:37
Rice and Austin Wells. Cashman added that he thinks
10:41
Jones is instantly good enough to start for another team right
10:46
now. If he trades, if he's traded,
10:50
but still saying that the Yankees organization is the best
10:54
for him in in his success. Between AA and AAA last season,
11:00
Jones had a .274 average, a .932 OPS, 335 home runs and 80 RBIs
11:08
in 116 games. I think it's an absolute joke.
11:15
Absolute joke. If the New York Yankees decide
11:19
to part ways with Spencer Jones, you have a young stud, a
11:23
left-handed power hitter, and is the complete opposite of Aaron
11:28
Judge. Now, I'm not saying he's Aaron
11:30
Judge, but when Aaron Jones, when Aaron Judge was a first
11:33
round talent, a lot of people thought he might not be able to
11:36
hit me in in the league because he strikes out a lot.
11:39
The same thing is going on with Spencer Jones now.
11:42
He's changed his swing. He still hit 35 home runs last
11:45
year and he still hit 80. RP is finding a guy that hits 30
11:49
and 100 that his age is not. They don't grow on trees.
11:54
As we said that about, you know, guys that came from the Mets and
11:57
Mets decided to part away part part part ways with Pete Alonzo
12:02
and he goes to Baltimore. Did they fill in his spot the
12:06
right way after losing him? No, they added Simeons and they
12:09
added Jorge, right? Polanco.
12:12
I, I just, I, I and you're adding two players for one when
12:16
you would have gotten Pete Alonzo probably cheaper than
12:19
both of those guys. I, I just think that obviously
12:23
the New York Yankees are bringing back Paul Goldschmidt.
12:26
So Spencer Jones moved to first base.
12:28
Doesn't make any sense, but why not try him there during the
12:31
preseason? Why not try not, Why not try him
12:35
in spring training to see if he can actually play at first base?
12:39
And to say that Dominguez is is a better fit at center field or
12:42
playing him out in center field. If he can't catch in left field,
12:45
what makes you think he could catch in center field when he's
12:48
got to cover more ground? It makes no sense, no sense.
12:52
What it tells me right now with the New York Yankees is they're
12:55
going to part ways with Spencer Jones.
12:56
They're looking at him as a trade ship.
12:59
And if that's the case, they better get a lot back for this
13:03
kid because I think he's the best prospect right now in the
13:06
Yankees, Yankees farm system. And we talked really a lot of
13:10
different experts that we've had on the show.
13:12
We've talked about who he is as a player.
13:15
This kid could really develop into a star.
13:17
Now, usually when the Yankees trade these guys, they never
13:21
turn into anything. I just think about it, You look
13:23
at the Mets and some of the players that the Mets have
13:25
traded over the last couple of years, they have turned into
13:28
something after they leave. Ask the Cubs, they got a pretty
13:31
nice player right now in in what center field that can catch the
13:35
ball and hit the ball. So I'm not saying that the Mets
13:38
made the wrong decision. But when you go back in time and
13:41
you you look at the Mets and how much money they've spent on guys
13:44
like Juan Soto and and obviously the guys that they've brought in
13:48
this offseason or even a guy that's playing third base that's
13:51
never played third base in his career.
13:53
And Bowl Bichette, you question if Ryan Cashman is putting this
13:58
team in the right position for their future.
14:01
Now, I, I didn't like the Grisham signing, but they didn't
14:05
sign him for that long. I think they signed him two
14:07
years. So it's not like they overpaid
14:09
for a guy like Grisham. But Grisham is not an everyday
14:13
player. And I don't care what the
14:14
Yankees think of him and what kind of season he had this year.
14:17
He is not an everyday player. If he was, a lot of teams would
14:21
have pressed and made a move for him in the offseason.
14:24
He didn't get a lot of money. He got a couple 20 something,
14:27
$1,000,000 for a backup player. I think he was overpaid for the
14:31
New York Yankees. Now I, I look at this team and
14:34
this and, and the roster, this is still a roster that's top
14:37
three in the American League. That's not saying much because
14:40
if I look at the National League right now with the Braves coming
14:43
back full strength and we'll see how how good they are and, and
14:46
how healthy they're going to be this year.
14:48
But the Braves have a very good farm system.
14:50
I expect high, I think spec highly of the Graves this year.
14:54
You know the Mets are going to compete, but if they don't choke
14:57
at the end of the season, the Cubs are going to be good this
15:00
year. I expect Saint Louis with the
15:02
farm system they have and some of the players they're going to
15:05
be bringing up will be a lot better than they were last year.
15:07
So there are teams and especially in the Dodgers
15:10
division, they have 3 competent teams that can play.
15:13
The Diamondbacks are going to be good this year as we expect them
15:16
to be. The Dodgers obviously adding
15:19
another power bat in the lineup and the Padres, they're going to
15:23
be good again this year. Bring it back, Mike Michael
15:26
King. This is still a very good, very
15:28
talented roster. What bothers me right now with
15:31
the Yankees is does Brian Cashman actually know what he's
15:34
doing? And when Brian Cashman is
15:36
throwing young kids on the bus or saying that he would be
15:39
better off playing, either either he's going to be blocked
15:43
or he's going to, he's better off playing for another team,
15:44
another organization. What does that say about the
15:47
Yankees youth? Because let's, let's be honest,
15:49
I think Volpe is going to be better than he was last year.
15:52
But I'm am I putting all my eggs in Volpes basket when Aaron
15:57
Judge retires or steps away from baseball?
16:00
Is he the guy that I'm building my roster around?
16:02
Is he the next captain, the next leader of this foundation of
16:06
players that they're going to have in the future?
16:08
The answer would be, as of right now, no.
16:11
And Jason Dominguez is not the guy either.
16:13
And the fact that Jason Dominguez is in front of Spencer
16:17
John. We've seen enough of Jason
16:19
Dominguez and what they call The Martian to say that he is a
16:23
second to your player at best. I don't think he's going to be a
16:26
star in this league. He's a switch hitter and
16:28
everybody thought when he came from the Dominican Republic and
16:31
how much the Yankees played, I'm sorry, paid internationally to
16:36
bring him here. I think they overpaid him and he
16:39
was they were overcharged for a player that really hasn't
16:41
developed into the player and and Florida remember him.
16:44
This is a guy that was a highly profile player, center fielder,
16:48
up, up and coming superstar for the Yankees and the guy gets
16:53
hurt, can't stay healthy and never really developed into the
16:56
player that they thought he was going to be.
16:58
Now he's bounced around and with different organizations, one of
17:01
them the Boston Red Sox. And how does that, how did that
17:04
benefit the Yankees and their foundation of youth in their
17:07
farm system? This is a terrible, terrible
17:10
take by Brian Cashman. And it just tells me that Brian
17:14
Cashman is willing and able to just part ways with a a young
17:18
stud, a young bat, which by the way, the Yankees haven't brought
17:21
in since Aaron Judge. Think about it.
17:23
They're the studs. They they brought in.
17:26
We're all free agents, guys that were not part of the
17:28
organization. Bellinger is not a Yankee.
17:31
He came from the Dodgers organization before he jumped to
17:34
the Cubs. So they're bringing in free
17:36
agents. This they're doing what the Mets
17:37
are doing right now and it doesn't work.
17:40
You have a homegrown player first, strong talent that you
17:43
can develop and bring them up slowly but surely.
17:46
He's 24 years old. He's still fairly young.
17:49
Why are you deciding, hey, you know what, we can get another
17:52
piece. We can get a 1/3 baseman or we
17:55
can get a a second baseman, A shortstop, and maybe we tatty
17:59
them up and pair them up with Grissom.
18:01
I'm not Grissom Jazz Jism and and himself and get themselves
18:08
another superstar to play with the Yankees.
18:10
I don't know right now if the Yankees actually know what
18:14
they're doing and if Brian Cashman is the right guy to make
18:17
that decision. If I was House Steinbrenner
18:19
right now, I block any trades for a guy, a young guy like a
18:24
Spencer Jones. I think Spencer Jones has the
18:27
opportunity to be a star here with the Yankees.
18:29
The porch is built for Yankee. I mean, his swing is built for
18:33
the porch and Yankee Stadium. It doesn't make any sense.
18:35
All that takes a Brian Cashman. And I know obviously I wasn't
18:39
here when when you guys got a chance to interview Gary
18:42
Phillips. So I wasn't here when that
18:44
happened. I was in Florida.
18:45
But Gary Phillips posting this and and bringing this story out,
18:49
it only gets me to think that is this the last hurrah for Brian
18:54
Cashman? Is Brian Cashman going to be
18:57
parting ways with the New York Yankees if the Yankees fail to
19:00
get themselves into the World Series this year?
19:02
And the probably the answer is probably, well, yes.
19:05
So maybe he's willing and able to move a Spencer Jones because
19:09
he's trying to save his ass. He's trying to save his position
19:12
as the GM of the New York Yankees.
19:14
Or is he really trying to get himself fired?
19:17
Because you're not trading away a piece, a young piece that
19:22
everybody's been talking about. We have had experts on the show.
19:26
We've had guys that have are scouts that have been very
19:29
successful, that have scouted some great players in the in the
19:33
MLB that have made it to the MLB and have and made it as a
19:37
success, a success story as a player.
19:40
And now you're hearing, oh, you know what, Spencer Jones, he's
19:44
24 years old. Maybe we part ways, maybe we
19:46
move him. He's blocked.
19:48
He's probably not going to see the light of day this year as a
19:51
New York Yankees because Dominguez, Jason Dominguez is
19:54
blocking him. If it was Aaron Judge or if it
19:58
was some other young stud that was playing in the outfield that
20:01
I say, Yep, he's going to be blocked.
20:03
There is nobody. You're going to tell me that
20:05
Grissom Grisham or whatever the hell you call him, him and and
20:10
Jason Dominguez is the guys that are going to block this kid.
20:14
This is an absolute debacle for the New York Yankees and for him
20:17
to come out and and and this get posted in the Daily News.
20:20
If you're a Yankee fan, you can't be excited to the for the
20:24
future the Yankees organization, especially in in their in their
20:28
in their with their franchise. And what is that?
20:33
They're they're young players. What what's that?
20:35
The prospects? Not the prospects, the farm
20:37
system. It would bother me if I'm, if
20:40
I'm a Yankee fan, I'm looking at their farm system.
20:42
And, and to me, Jones has been on top of their farm system for
20:46
the last past two years now. Lombardi has been slowly but
20:50
surely moving up. And it seems like he's the
20:52
future shortstop or second baseman or maybe even third
20:55
baseman of his team. But it would bother the hell out
20:57
of me knowing that their farm system is been always been
21:01
spoken about about this. This is the guy, this is the
21:05
future. This is the left-handed power
21:07
bat that the Yankees have been building up over the last 4-5
21:11
years in their farm system. When they drafted him, he was 18
21:14
years old. He's now going to be 24, right?
21:17
I think he's 24 years old right now.
21:19
And, and you're going to you're, you're saying that he's going to
21:21
be blocked and there's no chance or unless he has an unbelievable
21:25
spring training, which only tells me if he does that they're
21:27
moving on from him anyways. It's a horrible take.
21:30
I think if you're a Yankee fan, you can't be happy hearing this
21:34
story that it could, It could mean Spencer Jones getting
21:38
traded, maybe in spring training or before the season even
21:42
starts. It's a terrible, terrible take.
21:44
And I, I, I give a shot, I'll give a shout out to Gary
21:47
Phillips for him to post something like this and know
21:49
that there's going to be backlash maybe to him because he
21:52
would post something like this. But obviously Brian Cashman
21:55
getting all the backlash because it's, I think this is the less
21:59
hurrah for Brian Cashman. Yeah, it's always looks bad when
22:02
you're throwing 2 prospects under the boss in one statement
22:05
too. Like Dominguez, it's obvious
22:06
that they didn't have a plan for him because they wouldn't have
22:08
brought Grisham back otherwise. Like maybe they were had some
22:11
concerns with him so they had to feel like they had to replace
22:14
Grisham in that center field realm and now you're going to
22:16
say that he's going to play center field.
22:18
Then why are you bringing Grisham back?
22:19
Like, first of all, Bellinger is coming back, he's going to play
22:21
center field and now you have a bunch of guys that can play in
22:24
first base. Like Bellinger should play
22:26
center field most of the time now.
22:27
So why are you even bringing it up that you're going to
22:29
experiment with him in center field?
22:30
It's a horrible idea. Grisham would be the next option
22:33
to play center field. He's not great there.
22:34
But if Bellinger wants to, if he DH as a Stanton's hurt or
22:38
something like that, or if he needs a day off, yeah, let him
22:40
DH once in a while. Let him play first base and let
22:43
someone else DH like there's other options and say, all
22:46
right, we're going to throw Jason Dominguez, who was bad
22:48
defensively with his vision in in left field as it is with
22:52
because of his injuries, not as much range as he did at the
22:54
beginning of his career. You're going to put him in
22:55
center field. That's the first.
22:57
You don't have to say that kind of thing.
22:58
Like you don't have to say that we're going to thrust you in a
23:01
role because that's a kind of guy that could lose confidence.
23:03
And Spencer Jones, Spencer Jones has raw left-handed power that
23:06
is sometimes hard to find as a homegrown player, probably
23:09
outside of Joey Gallo. I don't I can't think of one
23:11
that had like this much hype going into in the last 10 years,
23:15
this much hype going into his prospect thing is just a raw
23:18
power perspective. Obviously there's more flashy or
23:20
five tool players like a Kuni and guys like that.
23:22
But as a raw power guy, you don't have those kinds of
23:25
things. And now all of a sudden you're
23:26
saying, oh, there's no spot for him.
23:28
So even if he does come up, yeah, he's going to be coming up
23:31
his trade bait because and then you're going to toy with that
23:33
and you're going to maybe get less value than you want to for
23:35
him because you're being too cute with these prospects.
23:37
Like Brian Cashman's a good eye of talent as there's a reason
23:41
he's been there for a while. And obviously with the free
23:43
agency, he's done pretty well. But when you're saying these
23:45
things like that and getting too cute with these prospects, it's
23:47
definitely not ideal. And now you're really putting
23:50
pressure on one of them. Have to step up to make that
23:51
statement look good by any means.
23:53
And Jones has the capability of doing it.
23:54
I'm a little less on Dominguez now, but you're right.
23:57
Errol, like Floral was high on at the time.
23:59
They got too cute with him. Clint Frazier I wasn't as high
24:01
on, but he got they got he got he got he.
24:03
So right now, if you look at their top prospects, all right,
24:07
as far as hitting prospects at #1 is George Lombard, Lombard
24:13
Junior. So he is the number one
24:15
offensive prospect the Yankees have and he's a shortstop.
24:19
There are stories coming out that the Yankees could move Obey
24:21
to second base if they lose Jazz Chisholm or they trade Jazz
24:25
Chisholm sometime this season. Then there's Alma Rodriguez.
24:29
Cruz Spencer Jones is the third best prospect on this list.
24:33
He's 24 years old and he probably has the most upside
24:36
because Lombard is is a guy that everybody expects to be a good
24:40
player. But again, they thought Volpe
24:41
was going to be Anthony Volpe was going to be a superstar
24:43
player at his position at shortstop.
24:45
It hasn't worked out in the last two seasons.
24:48
He had a great rookie season. He won Gold Glove his second
24:51
year and then he's falling off now maybe as the yips.
24:54
I don't know what's going on with Anthony Volpe, but I I
24:57
think the Yankees are going to give him another shot.
24:59
If if, if you would ask me right now, if you think that Lombard
25:04
is going to be the guy or he's he's he's an option that you're
25:08
going to move to shortstop. Shortstop.
25:10
If Anthony Volpe has a good year.
25:11
You move Anthony Volpe in a trade with a guy like Jason
25:15
Dominguez or you move him in a trade with another name, a
25:18
pitcher, maybe a Clark Schmidt or Will Warren, one of these
25:22
young pitchers in their farm system that they can move on.
25:26
You don't move a Spencer Jones, a left-handed power that fits
25:29
the Yankee Stadium as far as what we've seen over over the
25:32
years with left-handed power. He is he as far as what I don't
25:36
care if he strikes out a million times if he has 40 something
25:40
home runs and he gives you 80 to 100 RB is every single season.
25:45
That's what the Yankees need in their lineup.
25:47
That's what they need in Yankee Stadium. 82 games in Yankee
25:50
Stadium. Those are the guys that you
25:51
need. They don't grow on trees.
25:53
And now all of a sudden you're saying that he's being blocked,
25:56
that he is. He doesn't, as far as he's
25:58
concerned, fit moving forward as as part of the future of the
26:03
Yankees organization. That to me tells me that Brian
26:06
Cashman, say, is really putting himself out there to say, well,
26:11
guys, fans or even GM's or I'm sorry, not GM's, owners, I'm
26:15
going to be free at the end of the season.
26:17
The Yankees are moving me. It does.
26:19
It does feel like he screwed up really badly, Errol, because
26:22
they this is what he said to be in the office and remember this,
26:24
we're 2 left-handed. So that's why he doesn't want
26:28
Spencer Jones. That's another lefty LaGrange.
26:31
He's a AA guy. They think he probably not this
26:33
year. Dax Kilby was their was their
26:36
first round pick. They like him a lot as a
26:38
shortstop, second base type down the road.
26:41
Lombard is only 20 years old and I want to talk about that with
26:45
with Dominguez in a second because Dominguez is 2 1/2 years
26:48
younger or two years younger than Spencer Jones.
26:51
Spencer Jones is in his age 25 season and hasn't made it to the
26:54
major leagues yet as a minor league player.
26:56
That's not that's pretty old for a minor league hitter.
26:58
Like as a pitcher, no, but as a hitter, it's a little old,
27:01
right? And Dominguez has already got a
27:03
year of experience at 23. So that that's that kind of says
27:07
like Dominguez is further along in his development than Jones,
27:10
even though Jones might have more power right now.
27:14
Aaron I guess that's what they're saying.
27:15
Just so you know, and just so the fans know, Aaron Judge is
27:18
rookie's full rookie season. He was 25 years.
27:21
Old, I understand. And they said when Judge came
27:23
up, he was old for a rookie. That's what they said when he
27:25
came up and boy. And change everybody's minds
27:27
because he's the best player in baseball.
27:29
So OK, but Aaron dodges once in generation.
27:32
How do you know Yankees? Somehow How do you strike?
27:34
Because his stats are better than anyone's ever done.
27:38
That's that's three times in the last four years he's had better
27:41
speeding. Could you bring up?
27:43
Could you bring up Aaron Judge's numbers when he came out of AAA
27:46
to the Yankees? I bet.
27:48
You. They're a lot better than what?
27:49
I don't know about a lot better. I don't know about a lot better.
27:52
So here's the thing that they're going to say.
27:54
Spencer Jones strikes out over 33% of the time, OK?
27:57
And that's not something that you can do.
27:58
Aaron Judge was going to strike out a lot, too.
28:00
He. Was white but not nearly that
28:02
much there's a certain level where you go off a Cliff and if
28:05
you can't get on base and you can't you're striking out all
28:08
the time you're not putting the ball in play you're not getting
28:09
the RBIs you're not moving guys over and that's why that that
28:13
whole guy like the the Adam Dunn the guy that just hits hits
28:16
forty home runs and. He wasn't All Star and he was an
28:19
All Star so. Just a couple of times, I'm not
28:22
saying that, but Cashman that those type of players.
28:25
Went Jason Dominguez will never be an All Star.
28:28
He will never. Be.
28:28
I don't know about that. You don't know how good he's
28:30
going to be. I don't think he's any numbers.
28:32
Say that that he's going to be good.
28:34
I don't think he's any good. I I.
28:35
Really. But the problem is Cashman
28:37
screwed up the roster because they are like, oh, we're going
28:40
to give the qualifying offer, the Trent Grisham, and we're
28:44
just going to get corner outfielders everywhere.
28:46
And you know, we're going to. Maybe we'll put Cody Bellinger
28:49
in centerfield a couple of times.
28:51
Maybe we'll put Aaron Judge in centerfield a couple of times,
28:53
even though he's almost 35 and they're just going to keep
28:57
piercing together the most important defensive position.
28:59
BD you have the numbers. Instead, instead of putting
29:01
Dominguez out there full time and letting us see what he has,
29:05
because you're not going to see this way and you're going to
29:07
have to trade him before you find out or you're not going to
29:09
value and he might ruin them, which they've done to a number
29:12
of guys, including our Co host who's not here tonight as well.
29:15
All right, so Judge in the minor leagues had a 276.
29:18
Last year when he came up, OK, when he came up.
29:21
His last year, so that would be 2015 two 84 had 12 homers, 44
29:27
RBIs and then 2016 right before he came up in the middle of
29:31
season. 19 home runs, 65 RBI, the 270.
29:34
Average I'm, I'm sorry, but I, I'm going to say Spencer.
29:37
Look at the strikeout rate, though.
29:38
The strikeout rate he's. About it 274 it doesn't.
29:42
Matter He can't make contacts on majors, you can't stay as a.
29:45
Left-handed power hitter. That's what he.
29:49
Goes through all sorts of baseball history.
29:52
If you strike out over a third of the time, you're not.
29:54
Did he strike baseball? No one has ever.
29:56
No one has. Ever.
29:57
Speedy, What did he strike out? What was his?
29:59
What was his rate? It's going to say something like
30:01
2728. Percent, that's still not good.
30:03
That's still not good. It was 33 to 27.
30:05
It was bad and which is why they didn't bring him up till he's
30:08
20.5% point 5% and you're going to say oh.
30:12
That's 5% that point. Whatever, 5%.
30:15
Here's the thing. Here's the deal here.
30:17
No, it's not. It really isn't in.
30:18
Baseball when like 5%? More home runs.
30:22
He had more home runs if he comes up this year, he had more
30:25
home runs let his last year with the in the minor leagues and he
30:29
had more RBIs than Aaron Judge in his final year in the minor
30:33
leagues. I'm going with Spencer Jones.
30:35
I'm not trading him away. You want to look at statistics.
30:37
You're saying that there's going to be lightning Striker twice,
30:40
yes and a guy I loved him. He's going to just magic.
30:43
We're going to have two Babe Ruths.
30:44
Yes, within. I don't think he's Babe Ruth,
30:46
but I think he's going to be a great.
30:48
Judge's numbers are Babe Ruth. S I'm going to tell you this,
30:51
this is a guy that's going to hit 45 home runs.
30:53
He might even come close to 50 home runs in a season.
30:56
That type of player, he's going to hit over 100 RBIs, that type
31:00
of player. I think this.
31:01
Was 5.5 by the way for John? What is it 28.5?
31:04
28.5. Was right 28.
31:06
I was right. Four 4%.
31:07
Oh my God. But I'm just telling you, nobody
31:09
stays in the league over that's. Fine, and you want to know
31:11
something? I'm going to tell you this right
31:13
now. This guy looked like an absolute
31:15
stud in spring. Training last year.
31:17
I would give him a chance. I I just think they screwed up
31:20
the complete roster construction.
31:23
To me, Adam Dunn was a very effective player.
31:26
It was a like a Gold Glover or like fringe Gold Glover.
31:29
A couple of times he gets on base because he walks or strikes
31:33
out or hits bombs. I like guys that get on base and
31:36
walks as good as a hit. We learned that in the Moneyball
31:37
movie. The problem is this roster
31:40
construction of Cashman is stupid and they don't have the
31:44
guy like Jazz is on the last year of his deal.
31:47
In my opinion, trade one. You're not trading Grisham,
31:50
you're not trading Bellinger. You just signed.
31:51
So it's either Dominguez or Jones and you got to choose the
31:55
right one because if they choose the wrong one, man is it going
31:57
to look really bad for Cashman after.
31:59
They need to keep Jones. I'm telling you right now, I've
32:02
been saying this over and over and over and over again.
32:06
They moved. This is this is going to be his
32:09
RU nation. He's done.
32:11
Because I'm telling you right now, Spencer Jones goes wherever
32:14
he goes, he's going to be a star in in this league.
32:16
I'm telling you right now, mark my words, this kid is going to
32:19
be a star in his league. I've been saying it since he was
32:22
drafted by the New York Yankees. I don't care if he hits, he
32:26
strikes out four or 3 1/2% more than Aaron Judge.
32:29
This guy has better numbers than Aaron Judge did in AAA.
32:33
If he gets called up this year, his numbers are absolutely
32:36
better than Aaron Judges. And I'm not saying you can hit
32:39
lightning a bottle, but if you can get this kid to hit 250 in
32:43
the major leagues and he's going to give you 45 to 50 home runs
32:47
and he's going to give you a hundred 115 RPI's, those guys
32:51
don't grow on trees. That's Ryan Howard number.
32:54
So they don't grow on trees. You don't just oh, I just don't
32:57
want them anymore. Or, or he's blocked by the
32:59
Martian, who's done nothing, nothing.
33:03
He's been in the league for 2 1/2 years.
33:05
He can't stay healthy. I don't.
33:07
I'm telling you right now, you trade Jason Dominguez and you
33:10
give this kid a shot and I and what's going to happen is he's
33:13
going to be in spring training. He's going to he's going to have
33:16
another good spring training and the Yankees are going to move
33:18
them. They're going to send them away
33:20
to one of these teams that are going to get an opportunity like
33:23
the Giants or somebody of that magnitude.
33:25
And they're going to get themselves a stud, an absolute
33:29
stud young guy that wants to play baseball in the majors.
33:33
I don't care if he's 25. That doesn't mean anything to
33:36
me. Aaron Judge came into league at
33:38
25. There's a lot of great players
33:39
that came later in their. I'm giving a 27.
33:42
They, they come in later in their careers in their studs.
33:46
This kid is a stud and the fact that they're blocking him and he
33:49
has not played one game in the major leagues yet tells me that
33:53
the Brian Cashman has lost his touch.
33:56
Honestly, I believe Job is right about this.
33:59
He is absolutely right about Brian Cashman.
34:02
Now, Brian Cashman coming out and saying that he's going to
34:04
block this kid from coming up to the major leagues because of
34:08
Grisham, who's been a journeyman that nobody gives a crap about,
34:12
and and Dominguez, who's been in a league for 2 1/2 years as
34:16
switch hitter, that he's up and down.
34:19
He can't stay healthy. That's what you're going to sell
34:21
to the Yankee fan. Get out of here.
34:23
You even. Have a true answer at first
34:24
base. Like Goldschmidt was a sweat
34:26
specialist, Rice and Wells had good flashes, but is there even
34:30
enough consistent flashes? This is horrible.
34:32
This is a horrible thought that as a Yankee fan, you know that
34:36
probably your best prospects since Aaron Judge is could could
34:40
be traded before, before the trade deadline or maybe before
34:44
the season even starts. That's scary Yankee fans, if you
34:48
are, if you really understand baseball and you understand what
34:53
this organization has had problems doing and that's
34:56
bringing up young power hitters. The last one since since they
35:02
brought up right outside of Aaron Judge.
35:05
Could you name the last power hitter that came up from the
35:08
Yankees farm system? Could you remember?
35:11
Does anybody remember Greg Bird was not a power?
35:14
Hitter for what? For a year and a.
35:15
Half hour, it wasn't to me. It was never a power hitter.
35:18
I don't care what. That is year and a half of
35:19
great. He's the first baseman that
35:21
choked. I never, I never liked Greg
35:23
Bird. I, I disagree.
35:24
I don't. Think I just put problems.
35:26
And he never thought, could you name the last guy?
35:29
Because I can remember one guy, one guy who they, by the way,
35:32
they traded for for another guy. It came up in the 90s.
35:36
I couldn't tell you in this. Bernie Williams.
35:38
Bernie Williams. Bernie wasn't a power hitter.
35:40
He like 20 home runs a year, but he was a C30 hitter.
35:44
For a center fielder, that's a lot of he's doing.
35:47
Well, I mean, it's better than average for sure.
35:49
But Bernie was like, the thing that kills me about Bernie is he
35:53
was a good fielder in the beginning of his career, didn't
35:55
have much of an arm, I guess at the second-half of his career
35:57
and the range went down. I'm pretty.
35:58
Sure, Bernie Williams had over 300 home runs.
36:01
He he was like a 20. I don't, I don't know if he did.
36:04
He had 2020 to 25 a year. He was that kind of guy.
36:07
And he was a three. He had like 330. 287 he had
36:11
almost 300 home runs. So if he played, what, 15 years
36:14
times 20, that's like, that's like 300 right there.
36:17
So the guy was all over it. He was a great player.
36:20
I love Bernie Williams, I have his autograph on a hat.
36:22
That guy's the best. You looking at the you looking
36:24
at the Yankees farm system over the past, over the last 40
36:27
years, they haven't had really a power hitter come up as good as
36:32
Aaron George or even this kid. And now you're going to part
36:35
ways with this kid, a left-handed power in Yankee
36:38
Stadium in a short porch where this kid could Jack up 4550 home
36:44
runs in a season. And you're going to say, well,
36:46
we're blocking this kid because he doesn't fit right now on this
36:50
roster. What are you nuts?
36:52
This is a a horrible take. Horrible.
36:55
By the way, a shout out to one of our new fans, Christopher
36:58
Sewell in the comments section. He asked is it possible next
37:00
year that we see Judge at 1st and both Jones and Dominguez in
37:03
the outfield? No, I would see Bellinger at
37:05
first because he's played there first.
37:07
You know? Like I think he, him, and Rice
37:09
and Goldschmidt are going to be in some kind of weird rotation
37:13
and since they signed Bellinger, I'm assuming the plan is for him
37:16
to eventually be the first base rotation with Rice and Rice gets
37:20
off a catcher eventually. I just don't know if they have a
37:22
catcher on the roster because I don't trust Wells really yet.
37:25
I would. Move.
37:25
That's the problem. I would move Austin Wells,
37:28
especially at the trade deadline if somebody's looking for a
37:31
catcher who can play first base, because I would move Rice as
37:35
your everyday catcher. Now, I know Rice has had knee
37:38
problems in the past, so is Wells, but Rice to me is the
37:42
better. The better of the the hitters
37:44
the guy hits for his on base percentage is way better than
37:47
Wells and the guy has a better swing than Austin Wells.
37:51
I would keep Rice. I would move Austin Wells.
37:53
If you're going to bring in another pitcher, you're going to
37:55
bring in another, you know, bat. I would move Austin Wells if
38:00
you're trading Grissom and I would trade Dominguez.
38:02
I would not move Spencer Jones. That is all.
38:06
That is just horrible. I just and watch.
38:09
I'm telling you guys, Yankee fans, remember I said this
38:11
because I'm not wrong on my Yankee.
38:13
He takes I'm I'm really never usually wrong about this.
38:17
Spencer Jones is the real deal. I'm telling you guys this speed.
38:20
How long have I been saying, how long have I been saying this
38:23
kid? I've been saying that this kid
38:25
is the guy. And and if they're looking for a
38:27
guy that's going to take over for Aaron Judge in the future,
38:30
that is the guy that is the guy a powered left-handed hitter who
38:34
can do things. And by the way, also could play
38:37
multiple positions in on the field.
38:40
He could play first base and he could play on any position on
38:43
the outfield. He's he's that fast.
38:45
He's very fast. He could play center field, he's
38:47
long. He could play right and left
38:49
field. He is he could play, he could be
38:52
a 512 player and he could steal bases too.
38:54
So for Yankee fans to if I was, if I was all over the blocks,
38:59
I'm attacking this. I am absolutely killing Brian
39:03
Cashman and reaching out to Gary, Gary Phillips and telling
39:06
him to post this crap and post that crap because as a Yankee
39:10
fan, I'm pissed off on this take.
39:12
I and I, I know Yankee fans like Jason Dominguez.
39:15
What do you like about him? What is the thing that sticks
39:18
out about Jason Dominguez that you have this love fetish for
39:22
him? What is his numbers?
39:24
What has been his numbers in the 2 1/2 years he's been in the
39:27
league? Please give me his numbers
39:30
because to me there is nothing. I watch the Yankees religiously.
39:33
I go to Yankee games. This past year I didn't, but I
39:36
usually go to 5 to 6 Yankee games.
39:38
I, I watch them, I, I understand what it takes to be a star in
39:42
this league. I don't care if he's a switch
39:43
hitter. I to me it means nothing.
39:46
I, and again, he he hits well against the Boston Red Sox, he
39:49
hits well against Houston, and then he hits really bad against
39:53
Kansas City. He hits really bad against the
39:55
teams that he should be hitting against.
39:56
What is his number? 248 for his career he's got. 16
40:00
Home runs 58. And how many years?
40:02
About 3. He came up late.
40:04
He came up late, actually. More like. 2 How many RBIs?
40:06
He came up 58. He is actually more like 2
40:09
years. He came up late in 20. 3/2 and
40:10
1/2. Years.
40:11
Yeah. Sixteen home runs, 58 RBIs, 327
40:14
on base percentage and 29 steals.
40:15
And what did he do in? What did he do in AAA?
40:18
Bring up his AAA numbers and compare him to Spencer Jones,
40:23
because I'm going to tell you this right now, his numbers are
40:25
nowhere close to Spencer Jones. But Errol, the point is like he
40:27
doesn't really in AAA because he was fast tracked as a kid.
40:31
He was 19 years old. He was.
40:33
He was. In AAA.
40:34
He was in AAA. He was the Yankees.
40:36
There is a 20 year old Darrell like look at this.
40:39
Look at his age, 2021. 22 He was a.
40:42
Rookie last. Year I know how old he.
40:44
Is yeah 227447 home runs in 189 RBIs, 102 steals.
40:50
And it's all. Korean How many?
40:51
In 4 minor league seasons. That's not good in. 4 minor
40:54
leagues. That's not good, guys.
40:56
That's not good. All right, look.
40:57
He hasn't done it yet, but you know, look, he's.
41:01
Really. Are you selling me?
41:02
Are you selling me? Jason Dominguez over Spencer
41:04
Jones. Or workly if you're over 700
41:07
OPS. He's 22, you're going to be a
41:10
very good player and that's how it is.
41:12
And they're they're always going to do this because they have
41:14
more controllable years, Errol of a young guy than a guy like
41:18
Spencer Jones. They just do.
41:20
So why would you get rid of Dominguez when you can control
41:23
him longer, pay him less, and then you could trade Jones and
41:27
get just as much for him as you can for Dominguez?
41:29
All right, so I'm going to tell you this.
41:31
I'm going to tell you this because I I'm going to prove you
41:33
to be wrong on this one. If the Yankees trade Spencer
41:36
Jones and he turns into a star, I'm going to come back and I'm
41:39
going to tell all you guys, all the people that think that Jason
41:43
Dominguez is anything special. And I'm going to say you guys
41:46
are idiots because I'm telling you right now Jason Dominguez is
41:50
not better than Spencer Jones. I'm telling you right now he's
41:53
not. I've watched enough of Jason
41:55
Dominguez and here's another thing.
41:56
Jason Dominguez never stays healthy.
41:59
He doesn't stay healthy. I'm taking the guy that has a
42:03
unique bodybuild, 6 foot 8 and that's naturally what people are
42:07
looking at now. Look at the kid that's right now
42:10
playing for the Nationals. Look at the his body structure
42:12
and what he is as a player, 6 foot 8 power hitter.
42:16
And he came up we, we see what he is in the in the major major
42:20
leagues right now in the MLB. I'm telling you right now, this
42:23
is this is horrible. I, I, I, I would if I was
42:26
running this team or if I'm the, if I was owning the team, I'd
42:30
fire Brian Cashman for just give me that.
42:32
Giving that take to Gary Phillips.
42:34
It's a horrible take and and to me seeing what Spencer Jones did
42:39
this year and looking at his numbers and comparing them to
42:42
Jason Dominguez in his time over there in the minors, I am taking
42:46
Spencer Jones in a heartbeat over Jason Speed.
42:50
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
42:52
I like his raw power with Jones and it's hard to find with a
42:54
lefty too, so I'm willing to give him a chance as.
42:57
Well, you block him. You block him for the garbage
43:00
that you. Have the blocking is so dumb,
43:02
but that's but that's Cashman for you.
43:03
He's still there after that many years.
43:05
No, No one else stays with a job that long in Major League
43:09
sports. And it's still.
43:10
Good and what if you're if you're Spencer Jones right now,
43:13
how would you feel seeing Brian Cashman, your GM, come out and
43:18
say that he's blocked because of a journeyman that you brought in
43:23
and Grisham, who nobody gives a crap about Yankee fans could
43:26
care less about and Jason Dominguez, who can't stay on a
43:30
baseball field. Great, great take I I I love
43:34
you. I love you.
43:36
Thank you, Brian, for making me even more sicker to my stomach.
43:40
It it's horrible. It's a horrible take.
43:42
And I think the Yankees are making a terrible, terrible
43:44
mistake. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
43:47
we call this Speedy's 6 Pack of the Week.
43:51
Let's have a sixer. Hey, who wants to play?
43:54
Drink the beer. It's time for the Speedy 6 Pack
43:57
of the Week. This.
44:01
On a side note, you do have 7 beers in that photo.
44:04
Yeah, one, one for extra emphasis.
44:06
Speedy, the six pack coming at you.
44:09
Speedy, we're going to go to Milan, give us 65 and four.
44:14
I'm going. To busy old dates on but.
44:16
For you right now, because this is the Olympic edition of the
44:20
Six pack. I guess there's 5 Olympic rings,
44:22
so it does average out. So 12 / 2 is 6.
44:24
So I guess it all works out. All right.
44:26
So the first three are all hockey.
44:27
Well, we'll start with the US and Canada.
44:28
They both finish in a #1 and #2 in Olympic group play record as
44:32
well for Conor McDavid, 9 points already, which is already the
44:37
Olympic record, not even including the knockout stages,
44:39
breaking Sidney, Sidney Crosby's record in Vancouver and Austin
44:43
Matthews leading the way for the United States with the last game
44:44
with the two goals in that one. So that's the that's the first
44:47
time. Finally scoring goals.
44:49
Finally. So that's number six, number
44:51
five, as is the women, they're both dominant as well, both of
44:53
them finishing undefeated. USAA 31 to one goal differential
44:58
in that one and five straight shutout clue for goalie Aaron
45:02
Frankel and US five different players with seven or more
45:05
points. Caroline Harvey leading the way
45:06
with 9. And then the one you brought to
45:08
me Fish at #4 The only unfortunate injury with coming
45:12
with NHL players playing in the United States.
45:14
Kevin Fiala will likely be out for the season the after the
45:17
Kings just trade for Artemi Panera and one of their other
45:19
top scorers is out for the year playing for for team Switzerland
45:24
suffered a very gruesome leg injury.
45:26
So he will be out the rest of the season, unfortunately.
45:29
Tom Wilson shocker causing an injury.
45:35
Errol, what do you got on Fiala getting going down with that
45:39
injury in the Olympics? Which one?
45:41
What are we? Talking the Kings, the Kings
45:45
forward #2 scorer on the team before they got Pinera.
45:48
Oh man. I don't know.
45:53
You hope nobody gets hurt in the Olympics.
45:55
You don't want to see somebody get hurt in the Olympics and you
45:57
lose him for the NHL season. So I don't know, man.
46:03
Yet, you know, we saw this, we're seeing this in baseball
46:06
with like the WBC. They're not letting people
46:09
compete in it for the insurance. It's kind of curious how hockey
46:12
they don't have to worry about the same things because you
46:14
would imagine it's a lot more dangerous to play hockey than it
46:17
is to play baseball. You don't want to see, you don't
46:20
want to see somebody go down and they're, they're playing for
46:22
their country and they're not, they're doing for just to, to,
46:28
to see your stars and stripes or whatever your flag get raised
46:31
up. If you win this Olympic.
46:33
And I know winning a gold medal is special.
46:36
Winning any kind of medal is special.
46:38
But you're playing for an organization that's paying you
46:40
millions and millions of dollars and you go down and you could be
46:43
out a significant amount of time that could cost your team making
46:46
the playoffs or cost your team even losing in the playoffs or
46:51
not even getting an opportunity to compete in the playoffs.
46:54
That's that's a bad sign. It's a horrible thing to see.
46:57
Fish I, I also saw something too, I think there were a lot
46:59
of, there were only like 4 total Olympic athletes.
47:02
That combined with their earnings and their insurance and
47:04
everything they're getting, they're making over $1,000,000
47:06
and only one of them was American.
47:07
So it definitely had bad, bad luck for the the IOC to have to
47:11
fix as well. They've been pretty corrupt for
47:13
a while. We've had issues with FIFA in
47:14
the past but they're not definitely not helping the cause
47:17
either. All right, Speedy, give us 3 and
47:20
#3 and number. 2 All right, so #3 I'm going to keep
47:22
individually because the last two are the same sport and
47:24
figure skating. So I'm going to go to Michaela
47:26
Schifrin, the most well-rounded Olympian ever when it comes to
47:30
downhill skiing. 15 World Championships, tied for the most
47:33
for USA gold medals with four or total medals with four, but has
47:36
not meddled yet so far in these games. 30 years old.
47:38
We talked about with Lindsey Vonn last week.
47:40
Is there going to be a bit of a decline?
47:41
She has one event left. She'll win, she'll win.
47:46
You have to believe she's going to win one of these, one of
47:49
these events and she's going to get that gold medal.
47:52
She's one of the best skiers to ever come out of here.
47:54
And, and she's I, I remember 4 years ago what, what she did
47:58
four years ago and winning all those medals.
47:59
So I expect her to find a way and get that gold medal and
48:03
she's got one more opportunity to do that.
48:05
I think she's going to get. It yeah, she just broke a record
48:07
too last year as well at the World Championships and this was
48:10
coming off at 2024. She had that bad injury and she
48:12
won even two more World Championships with that.
48:14
I've kind of anyone. Kind of with you on that fish.
48:17
Any thoughts before we move on to the figure skating?
48:19
No, all I know is that I can't ski for my life.
48:22
Every time I watch them do it, I'm that they don't get
48:26
seriously injured. And then when they do get
48:28
seriously injured, like we saw with Lindsey Vonn last week, I
48:30
just go, yeah, that's why I'm never going to do that one.
48:33
All right, so the last the last two number two and #1 are both
48:35
in figure skating for completely different purposes.
48:38
Errol and I watched it on Friday the quad God after powering his
48:42
way for the US to win golden teams, then he has does not do
48:45
as well in the individual finishing in 8th head.
48:47
One really bad fall. He had one really bad jump even
48:49
in the beginning of that. And so he does not meddle
48:51
disappointing. They're at #2 and the number one
48:54
is the biggest story Errol and I was talking about on Friday to
48:56
the potential scandal that could be involved in the the pair's
49:01
event with. With Matt Scandal, you know it's
49:03
a. Scandal.
49:04
Oh yeah, Madison Chalk and Evan Bates potentially robbed.
49:07
So I'll bring up some numbers for this, for the So the French
49:10
judge that were involved was involved in this, 7.71 points
49:16
higher for the French, which no other track, no other judge had
49:20
more than three at any difference in the differential.
49:22
5 out of nine preferred the US over the France.
49:26
This judge, by the way, Jezebel Dubois has also done.
49:29
This French, not the France the French have.
49:31
Also done this of French five other international events,
49:34
according to the site. Roll it off the tongue.
49:37
Roll it off the tongue. Skatingscores.com the French, so
49:40
that's. It roll it off the top the
49:41
French. So a lot of a lot of scandalous
49:46
stuff going on in the world of figure skating there.
49:48
So thoughts on those two with the quad God and then with the
49:51
scandal? I'm going to tell you this right
49:53
now. That was horrible.
49:54
And, and, and the kids 21 years old, he believes he's going to
49:57
be in at least two more Olympics, maybe 3.
50:00
He wants to compete as long as he possibly can and win as many
50:04
medals as he possibly can. But he came out a gold winner
50:08
really early in the Olympics with the team and he got a gold
50:11
medal and he wasn't even going to do the the final, you know,
50:14
his final program, but they needed him to do that for them
50:17
to win the gold medal. And he did that and they won the
50:19
gold medal and then just completely come up short.
50:22
I mean, really short in 8th place didn't even win a bronze.
50:26
He was expected to win the gold. He is the best skater to come
50:29
out not only in the United States in the world.
50:33
He's he, he does like 7 quads in his long program and he fell
50:37
twice. It was horrible to watch.
50:39
I, I got to give the kid a lot of credit even after all, after
50:43
everything that happened to go over there and speak to the
50:45
broadcaster, the anchor and give him his take and say that it, it
50:49
just this, you know, I've, I've done it in so many places.
50:52
I've done it in front of so many people.
50:53
But the Olympics are different and I choked and I'll be back in
50:57
four years and I'm going to fix. I'm going to fix what I what I
51:00
done. So I it was good to hear.
51:02
As far as the the ice dancing, that was horrible, horrible.
51:08
And I not only I feel bad for the the the Americans because
51:13
this was their final Olympics. This was their chance to win
51:16
gold and bring gold home again. And now they end their careers
51:19
with a silver win. They had by far the hardest
51:22
program out of all the teams that were competing by by a long
51:26
margin. And to see them get screwed by
51:28
the French, why am I not surprised?
51:32
Why am I not surprise? One more, one more bonus nugget
51:36
on that too. There's been since 2002 eight
51:40
other rulings like that of buying scoring.
51:42
Three of them were by French judges as well, so they even
51:45
have a history even before this guy too of manipulating.
51:48
Apparently there's also a Spanish judge that's also under
51:50
similar investigation too for rigging some of the scores
51:53
against the US as well. Obviously their skater.
51:56
I just wasn't even competing in that too.
51:57
So a lot of fishy stuff. Bark there, bark, bark.
52:00
So historically, like it always was like the French figure
52:04
skating judge was going to screw you.
52:06
Like that was the thing I remember when I was growing up,
52:08
my mother would always be like, oh, the French watch out, the
52:11
French judge is coming for us. Or be like the Soviet judge,
52:14
because you know, the Soviets back in the Cold War days.
52:16
We're going to try to to lean it out towards them.
52:19
I think one of those guys got suspended for life too like.
52:21
I'm sure they did. And you know, I'm like Russia
52:24
was banned for years and stuff. So like, obviously these things
52:28
happen and they obviously got screwed.
52:30
Everyone knows they got screwed. They're not fighting it though,
52:32
Errol. They decided not to fight it.
52:34
They're just going to say we know we won, whatever it is,
52:37
what it is. You.
52:38
Got to give. Credit as far as the the Ilya
52:41
Millinen kid. I saw that first skate where he
52:43
clinched the gold for USA and the team won.
52:46
He did this like front flip. I've never seen anyone do that
52:49
on skates before. It was like A1 legged like
52:52
forwards flip. Like I couldn't even describe it
52:54
to you. I just know I'd never seen
52:56
anyone do that. Before, not in a program, but
52:58
after they retire and they, they do these like dance, you know,
53:01
these dance things with Disney and stuff like that.
53:04
I've seen a lot of, you know, ex, you know, skaters do it, but
53:08
I've never seen it in competition.
53:10
So it was. Pretty he just like threw it in
53:12
after a bunch of like crazy ass moves.
53:14
So like power to that guy. I hope we'll see him next time
53:17
in a few years getting those championships.
53:19
And that's the six pack for this week.
53:22
Thank you to all the fans tuning and all the new fans, all the
53:25

54:03
up things on TikTok for like 3 months.
54:05
We were doing so well and now he stopped doing it and it screwed
54:09
up our TikTok. We might as well even close that
54:11
out because it's not going to be it's not doing it's not doing
54:14
nearly as well as it was when it first was popping and and and
54:18
really doing very, you know, standing out.
54:20

55:38

55:58

56:01
Huskers only. Huskers only.
56:04
By the way, thank you to Nith for getting us all these guests.
56:07
He is sensational. He's doing such a great job on
56:10
the back end. Our PR manager, he's hopefully
56:13
not playing with himself. He doesn't have anything on the
56:15
wall. So I'm thinking that he's maybe
56:17
in a jail cell or something. I don't know what he's doing
56:19
over there, but I, I like the he sent us a picture of his sofa
56:23
and his nice little, you know, television, his big television
56:27
and all set up. It's like the only thing in that
56:29
room, but nothing's on the wall. There's no pictures.
56:31
Why don't you have a picture of Lisa Ann on the wall?
56:34
I mean, that would be nice. I mean, all that stuff.
56:36
It would be beneficial, beneficial for you to there it
56:39
is maybe a Shaddor Sanders picture, you know, maybe you
56:43
know him wearing a Speedo or something like that.
56:46
That would be cool. You know, you know a San
56:48
Francisco 49ers, you know Speedo because he might be the fourth
56:52
string quarterback before you know it over there like Kyle
56:55
Shanahan or whoever is going to be coaching that team in the
56:57
near future might be Dion. Sanders at this race.
56:59
Dion Sanders, But here we go. No, no, no, no.
57:04
Oh, there it is. There he is.
57:07
When a gin and tonic, when the moon heats.
57:10
I like gin. And tonic and chicken Curry.
57:12
That's Amore, right? There you go.
57:16
Little old myth has lost his, you know, whatever.
57:21
Anyways, that's it for a show. Gotta go.
57:23
Tired running away. See you Thursday.
57:26

57:30
