- 2:03Speaker 2: I'd be so our lead this hour is from baseball.
- 2:08Speaker 2: We'll start out in Pittsburgh. That is where the Metropolitans
- 2:13Speaker 2: were floundering and drowning, a place normally you go to
- 2:19Speaker 2: get well if you're not doing that well. When you
- 2:22Speaker 2: see a team like the Pirates who are on their
- 2:24Speaker 2: way to losing one hundred games like they do almost
- 2:26Speaker 2: every year, you're like, oh man, this is great time
- 2:29Speaker 2: to eat, time to get get healthy.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Now.
- 2:32Speaker 2: If you didn't follow this, I immediately when I saw this,
- 2:36Speaker 2: I said, oh this is great. This is a good story.
- 2:38Speaker 2: In fact, this is better than a good story is like, Okay,
- 2:41Speaker 2: you lost to the Pirates. A better story is what
- 2:45Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor did.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Now.
- 2:48Speaker 2: He signed that forever contract with the Metropolitans a couple
- 2:53Speaker 2: years back, and after a slow start, he's put up
- 2:55Speaker 2: some decent stats and all that fine and wonderful and
- 3:00Speaker 2: all that. So less than twenty four hours prior, Francisco
- 3:04Speaker 2: Lindor called a team meeting, a closed clubhouse meet and greet.
- 3:09Speaker 2: The Mets had lost two in a row to the Pirates.
- 3:13Speaker 1: That was on.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Saturday, and then they went out the Amazings as they
- 3:17Speaker 2: are called when they win. They went out there the
- 3:20Speaker 2: Amazons and got smashed at PNC Park as they got
- 3:27Speaker 2: their ass handed him by the Pirates. It was O'Neil Cruz,
- 3:32Speaker 2: the guy that only plays hard when he feels like it.
- 3:35Speaker 2: O'Neil Cruz and Tommy fam that very angry guy in
- 3:38Speaker 2: the outfield who teed off on the New York Mets
- 3:42Speaker 2: starting pitcher on Sunday, Frankie Montees and see you later.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Back to back first inning home runs. The Mets would
- 3:52Speaker 2: never never get into the game. They lost twelve to one.
- 3:55Speaker 2: You lost by eleven runs to the Bucos after a
- 4:00Speaker 2: player only meeting. Now, O'Neal Cruz, the guy that has
- 4:03Speaker 2: put the dog in major League Dog, had another home
- 4:07Speaker 2: run in the seventh inning, a two run homer for
- 4:09Speaker 2: the Pirates. Now, the better story is in the losing
- 4:11Speaker 2: locker room, and that would be the Mets, who somehow,
- 4:15Speaker 2: some way managed to slide into Pittsburgh over the weekend
- 4:21Speaker 2: last weekend at June. Last week in a June, they
- 4:24Speaker 2: slide into Pittsburgh and got outscored by twenty six runs.
- 4:30Speaker 2: The Pirates, what do they bring back? And evans likeing
- 4:33Speaker 2: Barry Bonds and Bobby Booney. The Pirates outscored the Mets
- 4:39Speaker 2: thirty to four. Thirty to four was the final. So
- 4:43Speaker 2: if you're keeping scored at home, the New York Metropolitans
- 4:46Speaker 2: have now lost in their last sixteen games, thirteen of
- 4:50Speaker 2: the sixteen. Now, I didn't play major League baseball. I
- 4:53Speaker 2: just know that blows. Okay, So let us discuss the
- 4:56Speaker 2: question will this Francisco Goldendoor inspired players only meeting make
- 5:04Speaker 2: any noticeable difference going forward for the Mets? We know
- 5:09Speaker 2: it didn't work the first day. We will make any
- 5:11Speaker 2: noticeable difference going forward? So I've got spinal tap, gothic
- 5:17Speaker 2: horror novel, and blueprint, and we will combine all of
- 5:23Speaker 2: these things together and we're going to make a intervention
- 5:28Speaker 2: because the New York Mets, the way they are playing
- 5:30Speaker 2: baseball right now, they need an intervention. So number why,
- 5:36Speaker 2: I said number why. If you've heard the show over
- 5:41Speaker 2: the years, you know this is one of my pet peeves.
- 5:44Speaker 2: I know firsthand from being in the ballparks, in the
- 5:50Speaker 2: stadiums of the arenas. I know what absolute fertilizer the
- 5:57Speaker 2: player's only meeting is. I also know that there's a
- 6:01Speaker 2: lot of low information fans that think it is something
- 6:04Speaker 2: that it is not. The player's only meeting has been
- 6:07Speaker 2: a staple of losing teams in professional sports. It is
- 6:14Speaker 2: an enduring tradition that goes back to the start of media.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I mean media means has been around forever, but baseball
- 6:22Speaker 2: in the early days, there were eighteen newspapers that would
- 6:25Speaker 2: follow the New York Yankees, and if they didn't play well,
- 6:27Speaker 2: they'd have a player's only meeting and players only meetings.
- 6:30Speaker 2: It's like a fungus. It just refuses to die. It
- 6:35Speaker 2: doesn't work, but it refuses to die. The only thing,
- 6:41Speaker 2: the only thing players only meeting meetings are good for
- 6:44Speaker 2: the only thing really accomplishes is it turns up the volume.
- 6:49Speaker 2: It turns up the volume a little bit.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Right.
- 6:51Speaker 2: To think of the film Spinal Tap and the famous
- 6:54Speaker 2: scene in that film where you're demonstrating the amplifier for
- 6:58Speaker 2: the guitar and said, well, this one goes all way
- 7:00Speaker 2: up to eleven, and it's zero to eleven. Those other
- 7:03Speaker 2: ones only go to ten, but this is to eleven.
- 7:05Speaker 2: And so there you go, put it up to eleven.
- 7:08Speaker 2: And so that's what does. But team meetings are not necessary.
- 7:11Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why. The reason they're not necessary,
- 7:14Speaker 2: and this is gonna blow you away. Professional athletes, the
- 7:17Speaker 2: brotherhood of professional athletes. They spend more time together than
- 7:22Speaker 2: they do with their families. They're on planes, trains, and
- 7:25Speaker 2: automobiles from here, there and everywhere. All they do is
- 7:29Speaker 2: hang out together. They work out in gyms together, they
- 7:32Speaker 2: practice their sport together. They stay at the same hotels,
- 7:36Speaker 2: they eat at the same restaurants on the road, right,
- 7:38Speaker 2: they go down the hotel bar, all that stuff. In
- 7:42Speaker 2: other words, the players only meeting is just an opportunity
- 7:48Speaker 2: to chat amongst each other. Something they have the opportunity
- 7:51Speaker 2: to do every single efing day, And just like the
- 7:56Speaker 2: real world.
- 7:58Speaker 1: I know from being in radio and having many meetings.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Back we don't have meetings anymore, but back in the
- 8:02Speaker 2: old days, we used to have meetings all the time,
- 8:04Speaker 2: and the whole point of the meeting was to try
- 8:08Speaker 2: to get it over with as quickly as possible, to
- 8:10Speaker 2: not ask any questions, to shut up, listen to the
- 8:13Speaker 2: dumb boss speak, and then get the hell out of there.
- 8:16Speaker 2: And inevitably, every place of business, at least I've worked,
- 8:19Speaker 2: there's always.
- 8:20Speaker 1: That one.
- 8:22Speaker 2: A hole I want to say something else, there's that
- 8:25Speaker 2: one person that tries to suck up to the boss.
- 8:27Speaker 2: You know, you know what I'm talking about, and they
- 8:28Speaker 2: ask eight million questions. We used to have a guy
- 8:32Speaker 2: and he didn't work here anymore. He's I did a
- 8:34Speaker 2: TV show with him. But that guy, all he did
- 8:36Speaker 2: was ask stupid question would drive us all nuts. It's ridiculous.
- 8:40Speaker 2: It was so stupid. But the main the thing you
- 8:44Speaker 2: accomplish it you don't improve things with players only meetings.
- 8:48Speaker 2: You just give the illusion that you care, right, You
- 8:51Speaker 2: give the appearance that you're involved and that you're really
- 8:57Speaker 2: upset by what's going on, and You can't just go
- 9:00Speaker 2: on and lose and do nothing. Oh, you gotta do something.
- 9:03Speaker 2: So you have the coach and the media think that
- 9:07Speaker 2: you really care. These guys are passionate and they care.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Who knows what actually goes on in there. From what
- 9:13Speaker 2: I've heard, it's a lot of complaining. And then what
- 9:17Speaker 2: ends up happening is you have people that leave the
- 9:20Speaker 2: meeting feeling worse, and then that prolongs the situation because
- 9:24Speaker 2: they're being called out in front of their teammates. See, oh, well,
- 9:27Speaker 2: maybe this will help. We'll just do the old hail Mary.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Why not all right now? Page two to Sacramento. That's right,
- 9:34Speaker 2: I said it. Sacramento a city that is so embarrassing.
- 9:38Speaker 2: They allowed a Major League Baseball team to move there,
- 9:42Speaker 2: and the team so humiliated by being in that city
- 9:45Speaker 2: they refuse to use the city Moniker, How do you
- 9:48Speaker 2: allow that if you're the mayor of Sacramento? How do
- 9:51Speaker 2: you allow that if you're involved in that team. It's
- 9:54Speaker 2: so embarrassing. It's the most single, most embarrassing thing I
- 9:59Speaker 2: have seen in my years around professional sports that he
- 10:02Speaker 2: politicians allowed a team to move temporarily and they said, okay,
- 10:08Speaker 2: we'll find if you don't ever mention the city that
- 10:10Speaker 2: you're playing in, and it's so humiliating you talk about
- 10:15Speaker 2: a kick to the nuts. Anyway, the Athletics, they spent
- 10:19Speaker 2: the weekend getting their face mostly bashed in by the Yankees.
- 10:23Speaker 1: So the Athletics.
- 10:25Speaker 2: The big move they made on their way to Vegas,
- 10:28Speaker 2: but they stopped in Sacramento from Oakland. They signed Luis Severino.
- 10:32Speaker 2: That's a starting pitcher, not a good one. They signed
- 10:34Speaker 2: him to a three year, sixty seven million dollars contract,
- 10:40Speaker 2: and now.
- 10:42Speaker 1: They want to trade him.
- 10:43Speaker 2: They cannot wait to unload him, we are told because
- 10:46Speaker 2: sever Reno has pointed out what a bush league setup
- 10:50Speaker 2: they have in Sacramento, and he is agitated, the same
- 10:56Speaker 2: a holes that don't want to admit they're in Sacramento.
- 10:59Speaker 2: You can't make this up. Like the people running the
- 11:01Speaker 2: Athletics made sure to not have Sacramento in the name.
- 11:05Speaker 2: It's just Athletics or Athletics Baseball. They don't want Sacramento
- 11:09Speaker 2: to be involved. So here's the guy ripping the ballpark
- 11:14Speaker 2: in Sacramento and the working conditions, and the team that
- 11:18Speaker 2: clearly agrees because they're the ones that are forcing Major
- 11:23Speaker 2: League Baseball run prop the news service to not say Sacramento,
- 11:28Speaker 2: and they agree, But now they want to get.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Rid of him.
- 11:31Speaker 2: So how do these Luis Severino trade talks from the
- 11:35Speaker 2: Athletics compute to you?
- 11:39Speaker 1: All Right, So I love.
- 11:41Speaker 2: The fact that Severino played the Athletics. Nobody was going
- 11:45Speaker 2: to give him that kind of a contract. And how
- 11:47Speaker 2: do I know that if anyone had offered him that
- 11:50Speaker 2: kind of contract he would have gone anywhere else? The
- 11:53Speaker 2: Athletics are not a big league team. Everyone knew that.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Everyone knew the situation, so minor league out fit there.
- 12:01Speaker 2: They're not trying to win, they're trying to time it.
- 12:04Speaker 2: So they have a collection of good young players, some
- 12:08Speaker 2: of them that are gonna be in their prime by
- 12:10Speaker 2: the time they open that ballpark in Vegas. They just
- 12:13Speaker 2: started construction of the ballpark in Vegas. You know how
- 12:16Speaker 2: long it's going to take to finish that. Hey, it's
- 12:20Speaker 2: gonna be three years minimum, probably longer than that. Before
- 12:23Speaker 2: everything's done. There'll be some delays, there'll be some setbacks.
- 12:27Speaker 2: So it's gonna be several years before that ballpark is
- 12:31Speaker 2: done in Sacramento. And so sever Reno couldn't get a
- 12:34Speaker 2: deal anywhere else. So he said, all right, I'll take
- 12:36Speaker 2: the I'll take the money, and he's out there playing chess.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Luis Severino played chess with the Athletics. They paid, they overpaid,
- 12:45Speaker 2: they paid a premium form. Nobody else was willing to
- 12:48Speaker 2: give him that kind of money. And then now before
- 12:51Speaker 2: the trade deadline, he's out there. He's like, checkmate, you're
- 12:55Speaker 2: gonna trade me. And if you don't trade me, I'm
- 12:57Speaker 2: gonna keep talking about what a minor league outfit you are.
- 13:01Speaker 2: And it's you look at the ballpark there. I've not
- 13:05Speaker 2: been to these Sacramento ball I've watched some games on
- 13:07Speaker 2: TV this year, and it is a Major League Baseball
- 13:11Speaker 2: version of the witness protection program in Sacramento. It is
- 13:16Speaker 2: it is not listen, not a not a fan of
- 13:19Speaker 2: the spring training environment.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Now.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Prior to the start on Sunday, Sevarino had an zero
- 13:24Speaker 2: to seven record and an ERA of six point seventy
- 13:28Speaker 2: nine in ten starts in Sacramento.
- 13:32Speaker 1: In seven starts.
- 13:33Speaker 2: On the road, he had an earned run average of
- 13:36Speaker 2: two and a half a little less than two and
- 13:37Speaker 2: a half. He did get lit up, but this is
- 13:40Speaker 2: in the game on Sunday against the Yankees as old team,
- 13:44Speaker 2: but it is a Doctor Jekyll, Mister Hyde gothic horror
- 13:48Speaker 2: horror novel is what. He's Doctor Jekyll, you know. And
- 13:51Speaker 2: he's on the road pitching at Dodger Stadium or Anaheim
- 13:54Speaker 2: or somewhere else. He's fine. And then that hide he's
- 13:58Speaker 2: doctor Hyde or mister Hyde at the that minor league
- 14:01Speaker 2: Sutter Health.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Park or whatever the corporate name is that ballpark.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Now the bottom line, though, the bottom line on this
- 14:09Speaker 2: is that we expect him to end up by August first,
- 14:13Speaker 2: because the trade headline is July thirty first.
- 14:15Speaker 1: He's going to end up on a contender.
- 14:17Speaker 2: And the the A's are throwing a tantrum like a
- 14:22Speaker 2: bunch of you know, toddlers out there the front office.
- 14:25Speaker 2: They're all upset and all this stuff. And you know,
- 14:27Speaker 2: how dare you because this guy is saying the quiet
- 14:31Speaker 2: part out loud. He's unfiltered because carry got the contract
- 14:34Speaker 2: that's guaranteed. And so now the A's front office they're
- 14:37Speaker 2: shopping him like a some broken air fryer that you're
- 14:42Speaker 2: trying to get rid of on the internet. You'll offer up,
- 14:44Speaker 2: come pick it up here, you go take it, please,
- 14:46Speaker 2: All right now, final point, A melancholy melancholy oh bit
- 14:52Speaker 2: if you will. We learned over the weekend that soon
- 14:56Speaker 2: to be Hall of Fame. In fact, the ceremonies coming up,
- 14:58Speaker 2: I believe in July here soon to be Hall of Famer.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Dave Parker died at the age of seventy four. Now,
- 15:06Speaker 2: if you're of a certain age, this is a big deal.
- 15:08Speaker 2: If you're below a certain age, you're like, I don't
- 15:11Speaker 2: know Dave Parker. As I saw some highlights, it doesn't
- 15:13Speaker 2: do anything for me. But Dave Parker was a legend
- 15:17Speaker 2: for the Pittsburgh Pirates back in the nineteen seventies and
- 15:20Speaker 2: had some big years in the eighties, had a couple
- 15:22Speaker 2: of down years played with the Cincinnati Reds after he
- 15:25Speaker 2: left Pittsburgh. Actually was on some good teams with the
- 15:28Speaker 2: old Oakland Athletics. Won a World Series, the Bay Bridge
- 15:31Speaker 2: Series with the Athletics as a veteran mentor, and I
- 15:36Speaker 2: had a chance I a day Parker my podcast a
- 15:39Speaker 2: while back. Before he got into the Hall of Fame.
- 15:41Speaker 2: It was campaigning to get into the Hall of Fame.
- 15:43Speaker 2: It was obviously a big deal, as anyone would say,
- 15:47Speaker 2: to get into the Hall of fame. So I want
- 15:48Speaker 2: to spend a few minutes what will you remember? What
- 15:51Speaker 2: are you going to remember about the baseball life of
- 15:55Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Dave Parker, who died over the weekend.
- 15:58Speaker 2: So on this one, it's not just the guy had
- 16:02Speaker 2: a cam. He thought about the ability as a player.
- 16:04Speaker 2: He had a cannon in the in the outfield and
- 16:06Speaker 2: right field, and he brought this thunderous left handed power swing.
- 16:12Speaker 1: And those are all fun things and all.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Great, but for me, it was the way that he
- 16:17Speaker 2: carried himself on the field. There was this struck, this rasmatas,
- 16:21Speaker 2: the swagger, the presence in an era when most people
- 16:25Speaker 2: didn't carry to themselves like that in baseball. And so
- 16:28Speaker 2: Dave Parker stood out from the others in baseball and
- 16:32Speaker 2: that and he played very well, was an MVP in
- 16:36Speaker 2: one the batting title a couple of times. And it
- 16:39Speaker 2: was a tall guy, six foot five, but he looked
- 16:42Speaker 2: more like a tight end, like a modern tight end
- 16:45Speaker 2: in the NFL. And it's it's like when he was batting,
- 16:49Speaker 2: and I saw most of what I saw if Dave
- 16:51Speaker 2: Parker was after his prime, Like I'm old. I'm not
- 16:53Speaker 2: that old, but I guess I am but I watched
- 16:55Speaker 2: him kind of after his prime years, and even then
- 17:00Speaker 2: he would dare the opposing picture to throw him something
- 17:03Speaker 2: hit able. And what I loved I saw him with
- 17:06Speaker 2: the Play with the Angels near the end of his
- 17:08Speaker 2: career and saw him out there, and I went down
- 17:11Speaker 2: late in games because he'd be in the on deck
- 17:13Speaker 2: circle and he had an actual sledgehammer, not a fake sledgehammer.
- 17:18Speaker 2: He had a real sledgehammer. He got that from Willie
- 17:20Speaker 2: Stargell with the Pirates, and it was like an act
- 17:23Speaker 2: of intimidation for the opposing pitcher. Like normally they used
- 17:26Speaker 2: to use these they call him donuts. They put they
- 17:29Speaker 2: weighted donuts around the back. Well, Dave Parker and he
- 17:31Speaker 2: learned it from Willy Starger. He had an actual sledgehammer
- 17:35Speaker 2: and he took it with him from Pittsburgh and then
- 17:37Speaker 2: they had to paint a the different colors to the
- 17:38Speaker 2: different teams he went for went to and he had
- 17:41Speaker 2: the same electricity in that era, like Reggie Jackson was
- 17:45Speaker 2: a similar type player in that And you know this
- 17:49Speaker 2: guy's in there's every generation has a couple of them.
- 17:51Speaker 1: You're so good and so gifted.
- 17:54Speaker 2: That and the way they carry themselves that you're you're
- 17:57Speaker 2: locked in on them, like that's you got to see
- 17:59Speaker 2: when they're at bat. You don't go get the nachos,
- 18:01Speaker 2: you don't go take a whiz. You want to see
- 18:02Speaker 2: what they do. And he had the nickname too, the Cobra.
- 18:07Speaker 2: How great a nickname is that the Cobra. It's awesome.
- 18:11Speaker 2: And he backed it up on the field. And he
- 18:14Speaker 2: did all that in an era before look at me
- 18:16Speaker 2: social media, you know that didn't exist, and that one around.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Now it's easy to put an earring in and dance
- 18:24Speaker 2: around and you get a million bots in the matrix
- 18:27Speaker 2: that get all excited, get all fired up. But there
- 18:30Speaker 2: was no clickbait when Dave Parker was doing his thing
- 18:33Speaker 2: back in the day, and now he wasn't perfect.
- 18:35Speaker 1: There were some flaws.
- 18:37Speaker 2: In the nineteen eighties, everyone was doing coke, including Dave Parker.
- 18:41Speaker 2: He loved the cocaine and there was a big drug
- 18:44Speaker 2: scandal in baseball and he was a central figure in that.
- 18:47Speaker 2: There was the One of the reasons Day Parker didn't
- 18:49Speaker 2: get in the Hall of Fame sooner is because of
- 18:51Speaker 2: the cocaine trials of the nineteen eighties. Imagine what that
- 18:55Speaker 2: would have been like in the modern era with the
