• 1:22
  Speaker 1: will actually be. So Mike k, first off, how much
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: did you get paid for para tickets? This Roger Feeder
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: returned the US Open first time in five years? Para tickets?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Guess the price?

  Speaker 1: Great, great question. So four boys, one of my boys.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It's one of my boys, me and him, two tickets
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: going to the US with.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: The boys fighting on Mikey, before you answer, with the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: boys fighting over who gets to go.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Let's say two of the boys for DNA. One of
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: my kids is genuinely upset. He's like Roger Federer. I'm like, yeah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: he's like, I don't see Federer, like I know, I know.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I thought Daddy made him up.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He's a real guy. The best part is Mikey knows
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: about kids is they believe everywhere like super Hero. I'm like, oh,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: he's actually Batman in addition to being the greatest tennis
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: player of all time.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Five hundred bucks.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Good guess, Taylor, six hundred dollars.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I guess I have to play this like the price
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: is right six oh one ad Man, so.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Threty four apiece a pair of tickets is running me
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: seven eighty four, seven eighty four for a pair of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: tickets exactly. And I'm like, I trusted my agent. I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: just said, listen, give me the best tickets available. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we're hoping that I'm going to be court side, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: for a tennis match. But I don't know I could be.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I mean we're not going to be close enough that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you could touch them. I mean that close enough that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I could get his at touch And that's a Roger
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: could spell him, scream him, touch him something, right, Brazire,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I can do. So here's the next question, how long
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: does the match go? And I don't know the answer this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I was asking some Tennis channel people and they go,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I got paid seven hundred and eighty four dollars here.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I could think if you can maybe play forty five minutes,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: they might yes. So let's do the numbers of this.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Roger's mid forties. Think he's forty four, Rodick's forty three,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Agascy is fifty six, cock and roll. I think he's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like sixty six. I think he is yes, yes, yes, no,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: out like it's outrageous to expect two hours of tennis.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: There's no way you're getting two hours of tennants from
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: those four.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not the Federer is the only one who could
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: do it. I'm trying to tell myself they're gonna go
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: three full sets two hours because there's no are you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: gotta hear mind? John Mcker is gonna pass out? It's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: probably two sets, and even then, what's the full exertion?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Ninety minutes tops, right for seventy four, but this could
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: be thirty minutes. They could go out there, Roger might
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: give a speech, they hit around a little bit that's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: included in the price. You can see Roger woar them up,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and then it's thirty minutes one set, race to six,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: six to one other. What's what's the pairing gonna be?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's gotta be Roger and Macroe. I give it's Roger
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and Roddick versus Agassy Macarrol like that could be a dusting.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You have to put McEnroe with the best of the four,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: with the best of the other three, So it has
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to be Macroroe and Roger Federer. I would right, said
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: mcnroe's sixty plus years of age.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I'm pissed with macro be it's him in agacy. He's like,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the two old funks are going to gets the two
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: guys forty three and forty four, and one of whom
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is the greatest player of all time. Right, Macro's actually
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: dots sent up for this. Right. The matter I don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: know is how much is macro getting paid for this?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: That I gotta find out. It's about twenty five grand,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: fifty grand? Like, what are they throwing macraam for forty
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: five minutes? Would you pay for those tickets? Again? How much?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: What was it the pair?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Seven eighty four for the pair it's on stadium court? Yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: oh Mcaroe's getting paid. He's getting paid a lot, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: he will decide when it's over. You will not decide that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: John mcamroe will decide when this match is over. If
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: he's tired, it's over.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. The best part of this might be like
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: when you go to see a concert and you so
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to see this, but then somebody else
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: was even better. So for example, I heard to go
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Buddies went to sell Public Enemy? Are you kidding? Public
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Dmy's still going I'm like, yeah, my friend is I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: gonna be honest. Who doesn't love Public Enemy back the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: day me and Stu of course grew up in the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: eighties nineties, he said, And I saw them maybe ten
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: years ago because they're still really good. It was now
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Chucky's in his sixties, like as the established like, it's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: not quite the same when he might need to walk her,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he said, But the main event was guns and Roses.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I go, wait, a second Public Enemy opened for guns
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and Roses, like yeah, because a matter of fact, I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: think it's coming to med life, because you should go
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: see them in New Jersey. I'm like, but I'm such
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a jerk and this is no dis against Slash and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: all the rest of it Axel Rose. But I'm a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: much bigger Public Enemy fan, like I would. I would
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: go for Public Enemy, maybe stay for Biddy guns and Roses,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: but they're not breaking. I'd leave. He goes, Oh my god,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: but the tickets are outrageous. You would go for the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: opening act. You're gonna go for forty five minutes of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Public Eman, then just leave. If you're gonna pay three
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in as you might just hang around. They go, We'll
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: just play here in November Rain for the fiftieth time. Okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I guess that's the point. But with the guards Confederate,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going just for Roger. But how funny will it be?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I tell you guys? Two weeks later, I gotta be honest. Fellas,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Andy Roddick stole the show, like and yes, yes, savannas
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: going behind the back, He's going through the legs, He's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: doing one liners. He brought Brooklyn Decker. Like where if
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Andy Eronick steals the show?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Hashtag hashtag team Ronick? I mean, how about that?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Well, the big I'm gotta find a hashtag team Roger.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: If indeed Andrew Brant is going to be there? Yeah,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Brand is there.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm surprised. I figured that was the plus one
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: for you. I'm shocked that you're taking one of your kids.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: How dare you? Brand's gonna be furious with you. I
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: mean me in a shirtless Andrew Bran. Wait, so do
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you wear FED gear to the FED match? How does
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that work?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's gonna happen, right, I don't
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: know if headband, I definitely have to wear. I've wearing
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Federal's shirt of course, Federal shoes. I got my
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: shoes the Federal shoes I have, so I think it's
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it's literally neck to neck to toes. I just don't
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna wear the head band. The head
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: band might be aggresses. I'm bringing a head band of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: my clown to wear headbands. That might be the one.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Now I'm thinking of somebody going to an MLB game
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: wearing the full pants and a full jersey, and the
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: first thing you would say is what's wrong with that guy?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, exactly yes, but it doesn't care at this
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Point's a badge of honors too, right, someone' say wow,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that tracks like that guy is just as psychotic as
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I thought. I heard it with Stercot's and all his friends.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: He's like wow, He's like, it's such a federer fan,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: what a psycho. I'm like, yep, it's exactly tracted by
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the way, this is just a precursor. We all know
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: what's happening for that, which is Roger's being inducted in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the Tennis Hall of Fame. Wow. So that is Friday
• 7:16

• 7:36
  Speaker 1: He's liked, bro get ready, I go what he goes,
• 7:38

• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the correct. He goes, the amount of people coming just
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: for Federer and Mary Curl on the undercard also being
• 7:45

  Speaker 2: I might get exclusive one on one with Roger and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: we're gonna air it right here.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He's so excited, Go ahead, bikey.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I forgot what I was gonna say.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: He got yes, No, he's just I imagine him with
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the credential getting the Federate.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It's a very heavy play. Gets a free ticket.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: He gets access to Federer if he can get close
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: enough to him, if he can get by Andrew Brandt.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: But I just imagine ad Dan going up there and
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: pretending like he's getting well, asking Roger for the interview,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and then not being able to say a single word
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: because he's just gazing at him.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It's a great point, Like it's like I should at
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: least have the auspice of some equipment, Like I can't
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: just go up there. You have to Hey Roger, Sure,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And then I go, I'm gonna record you a bike kid.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You gotta sell it, ad In. You have to. You
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: have to bring a camera, a cam court for got
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: like a bike flash, something like, Okay, there you go. Roger,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: at least put these crappy headphones with me. It looks like, okay,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: he's pluging them into something. If I go up there
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: with my hands in my pocket the iPhone, I'm just out.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I get too sure. He should just stare up. You
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: should bring a crew, ask for more credentials. Is the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: credential he shows up? Taylor comes from New York to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Newport of Island.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking about sending Tailor there just to film you
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: The best part is Featherer and Taylor will hit it
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: off and leave Adman out.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm in Taylor. What guy? I had five minutes
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a lot. He just talked to Taylor the whole time
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. Yeah, I don't know their.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Time, Tyler. You want to come to dinner, right?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I have Taylor hitting balls with Federer by the end
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: of the day. I mean, Roger fl I was going
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to talk to but he's the superior athlete. I mean,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: clearly he looks like it can handle my.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, I desperately want to try to get this a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: baseball because you and I are the only ones who
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: enjoyed talking tennis.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: But I do have one quick question.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: What do you think is going to be longer the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: match he's playing in, the exhibition match or his Hall
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: of Fame speech? I mean which one great point to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: go ahead? You want the speech to be longer, right
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: you do?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I want to speech, no question like think how many
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: times you've been in situations. You know what it's like.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Senior daughters graduate the commencement. You go, can we just
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: right the whole thing? We want the thing to wrap
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: up right soon graduate high school and you go, I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: love you, but just let's let's get to the chase.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: We don't need long commencement speeches. This is the rare example.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna want a speech as long as possible. I'm
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: hoping hold out, You're like, hold watch confeder did not
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: take a breath by the entire thing. I might be
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: transcribing it as he's talking. I want to miss the moment.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Someone will says, certainly, it's looking me on YouTube like
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it's okay, But no, no, I want to I'm like a stnographer,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: like I'm gonna be typing it as he's saying it.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Just to be living in the moment as much as
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: possible as stupid as that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Sounds awful timing from Mary Carrillo. Poor Mary Carrillo going
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame with Federer.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I feel terrible for it. If Serena didn't come back,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it was gonna be Serena Roger potentially together. Newport could
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: not handle that. Could you imagine Roger Feder being dunk
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in the same weep weekend in Newport, Rhode Island. Thank
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: God it's Mary real Serena. How about the way, how
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: about this happens. I go to the front and go, hey,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: can I just get two muches of got shirt? You
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: can get Mary first. Taylor's hitting balls with Federer and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you're talking to Carrillo. I absolute can see that happening.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So you're credential. We couldn't get your Roger, but we
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: did get your Marry Carrilla, And I go, that's grew it.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: You gotta stay that, you have to stay in the act.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: You have to I mean, you just have to thunder
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: through it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Man, I'm sure that Mary Carrillo has made great contributions
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: to the tennis world, but it's almost like in government
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: when when a speaker seeds time. Yes, I think Mary
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Carrillo should seed some time to Roger fer first speech.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: No offense to Mary Carrillas.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Oh it's a fair but imagine Mary car goes longer
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: than Roger because I get I'm back to public, going
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: back to public, enemy and guns and roses. Mary Carrilla
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: is on the undercard. So the ceremony begins at six thirty.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Mary's starting first. What if Mary gets excited, it's a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: little carried away. It starts ad libbing. You're doing the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: most resort you're watching. He keeps going close to the top.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gotta wrap this up by said Rogers up. There's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: seven to twenty. Now. He got squeezed by Carrillo. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: had a lot more to say, but Mary took all
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: my job, so she said, she said it all. It's
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: been great. Guys out sick because of Carrillo.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: You're gonna be so furious if that happens, then I
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: want what I want with carrill. I'm gonna take her
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: to task and ask her, ask her why the speech
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: was so long. Oh God, Stu Gattson Company is brought

  Speaker 1: Ad Nan, It was a magical night in the Diamond
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: last night. It really was. Sobody great plays, so many
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: great games.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Pete crow Armstrong, who do you go with in terms
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: of n L m VP's and Otani or Pete crow Armstrong.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I think he's a favorite. Now. It's a fascinating race
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: due so last week. They're both the same odds minus
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: one to ten. I'm talking to the great jap be
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: former signing Award. We're a two time World Series champion,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I said, Jake. These guys are pretty much comparable offensive,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: their OPS numbers are virtually identical. PC eight plays better
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: defense than anybody in the world. He tracks down everything
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: in center field, and he's an elite base runner. He's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the only guy in baseball is in the ninety six
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: percentile in base running, defense and hitting. Now TWI again
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: is comparable offensively. He's pitched eighty innings of the sub
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to e RA and JP looked at me like I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: had three heads, and goes, can you even ask you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that question? I go, But he goes, the guy is
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: pitch eighty innings or the sub to er, and you're
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: comparing him to a guy who does Everyone else is
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: like the PC is. PC is doing something nobody else
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is doing. He plays the best defense. He is even
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the best defense if any player in baseball cannot match
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a guy who's also pitching with a sub two errangs
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: store in eighty innings. But I'm telling you right now,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I talked to Produce yesterday and Tom goes, what's the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: number one stat?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Number one stat?
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: These MVP guys look at it, go war. Whether you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: like it or not. They look at war and guess
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: what PCA has got him in war? From May thirtieth on,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: PC's war is through the roof because of the offense
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of the defense. Now you're talking about signature moments. Last night.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Walk off against the White Sox
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: at Wrigley Battle of Chicago. Unbelievable, theatrics. This guy's got
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: thirty home runs now this season and he's cruising and
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Otani isn't pitched a month because he's been hurt. Now,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts says, a Tani will pitch at some point,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: perhaps as an opener, but it's not gonna be a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: situation where he pitches one hundred and forty innings, maybe
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: pitches ten more innings, and it starts to become narrative,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and it starts to become voter fatigue. Is an Otani
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the fifth MVP or this guy PCA, who's charismatic, exciting,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: trying to lead the Cubs to the playoffs and perhaps the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: division title. I'm with you right now. The slight favorite
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to me is Pete Crow Armstrong. Ye.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: And then I saw stat yesterday that PCA got more
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: war from that game yesterday than Kyle Tucker has all season.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Regard this is a fascinating story till I've never seen
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a manager put a guy on blast in the way
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: that Dave Roberts did, Meaning I had no way I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: follow this Sport Day and Dale, I'm such a nerd
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: like our buddy Kirchin. I had no idea. Kyle Tucker
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the most draftic splits in the sport. On the road,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: he's an eight forty ops, which is in line with
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: his career ops of eight forty six. At home, it's
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: five point fifty, which is second worst in baseball, but
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: only in the same New News of the Nationals. I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: don't think anyone really realizes until Dave Roberts goes, hey,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna bench him, Like why it because he stinks
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: At Dodger statum, he was on a five for fifty rut.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: The manager called the history. So this is not media
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: driven of everyone saying, hey, what's up with Kyle Tucker.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: He basically said, yeah, the guy is awful, and oh
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I gotta Givehi a break. I'm like, okay, did it work? No?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Zero for three? To his next game, he dropped a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: fly ball, which orl Herscheizer is getting a star on
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I learned that while reading
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: my issue of Variety today. Good for Oral Oral Hercheizer
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: was so pain You guys know what it's like team broadcasters.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: They root for the team. My buddy John Crock like,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: come on, Bryce, let's go Trey, come on Schwarber like
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: he's rooting for the Phillies every pitch orl Hrscheizer was
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: so chagrined when Kyle Tucker dropped a flyball and Wright
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you get it, it was painful to music. Well, I'm not
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: sure he didn't make that catch. He didn't hit the wall,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: His glove didn't hit the wall, Like that's to catch
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: a ball ball. He you understand why the fans are upset. Then, yesterday,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: while live on mob Network, we saw Tucker set the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: under flyball and just blatantly drop it and it's reduced.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: He said to me, he goes. You know, it's physical
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and eventually it's mental. He's batting him sixth right now,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: he's bat at him seventh. He is in ninety eight
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: ops plus. He's a below average offensive player. I said
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to Tom, could we see a situation in which Dave
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Roberts puts a guy who's making sixty million dollars a year,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: who is costing the team one hundred and nineteen million
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: dollars this year because of luxury tax. It's dollar for dollar,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: one hundred nineteen million. Could we see a situation Dave
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Roberts as you know what, he's a platoon player. I'm
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: only gonna play him on the road in the playoffs
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and Tom goes. I can't imagine that happening. But it
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: makes me think of a Rod when he went from
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: batting cleanup Taylor members to battering eighth. Like when when
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Turvy was like, what else can I do here?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: This guy sucks? What I gotta do? It's honestly baffling
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: a guy costs him one hundred and nineteen million dollars crazy.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: He's playing as bad as Kyle Tucker is right now,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: specifically at Dodger Stadium.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: And in the last eighteen games, the Yankees have the
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: best ERA in Baseball two six six ERA, and they
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: have the worst batting average over that stretch one ninety
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: eighth for thirtieth and now they're placing Max Freed on
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: the fifteen day injured list. How concerned should Yankee fans bait?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Should you be? Well, yeah, it's alarming. How concerned tailor
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: should be because numbers, As you said, they had a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: stretch fifteen of eighteen games in which their stars allowed
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: two runs or less, and they went nine and nine
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: of those games. Think about that, two runs are less
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you just and the bullpen's been excellent as you know
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: as well, Bennar etc. Hedrick Blackburn like, we're just looking
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: for four runs here, boys, we're gonna win. Like you
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: can't do that, or you're a five hundred team. Since
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Judge has been out May thirtieth, their last and average
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: their last and on base percentage their twenty seventh and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: runs per game, they're a five hundred team without Aaron Judge.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And you go, well, that's not bad. He's one of
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the best players in the sport. You're five hundred team.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the American League like that? That? It's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: atrocious that you're only a five hundred team considering how
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: bad the opposition is and how incredible you're starting pitching is. Now.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: The Freed injury hurts because he comes back out herevery
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: go I'm like, wait, he's out with the same injury
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and he just missed two months with that injury. So
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: do the math on this. It's beendle of August. He's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: coming back when alcs Maybe maybe the injury isn't as severe.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: He heals a little bit better, still feels it to me,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: he's not back until at least the playoffs. Now that
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: is the strength of your team. Schleitler and Dylan sees
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: are going head to head in terms of who's gonna
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: win the Signing Award. Rodain is now back tonight against
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the Orioles. Curious how he's going to fare. Garrett Cole
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: has been great. Good news there. Grek Colestrow a ninety seven,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: ninety eight again, his numbers now three and four era.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I love garat Cole, one of my favorites. He's been awesome.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: So the good news for Taylor's boys is that, hey,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: you've still got three guys who should be studs. And
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: by the way, Weathers has been really good. You know
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: that is last couple of start's been good. They kept
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: thinking he may go the bullpener will warm. Well, now
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna be them. The point is they got
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to get some offense. They're desperate for it. Bellinger should
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: be back September first. Gin Carlo Stanton remember him. He
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: should be back early September. There's still no definitive order
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: on when Judge's back. They keep saying he's going to play.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: We hope he's going to play. I'm telling you right now,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be sometime in September. My guess is September fifteenth.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna give him two weeks to ramp up,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and then Septeber twenty ninth, in all likelihood Red Sox
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Yankees in the Bronx and if they don't get judged
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: back watch out.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: And then I got to ask you this, how do
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: you feel about apparent screaming I want to dance in
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: the bleachers during a little league game?
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: We just had Mikey's manager on his little league manager.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: His kids won the All New England Regionals, so it's
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: a big deal. Okay, Yeah, you'll love this guy, Ernie
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: gray wats was his name, uh, And he was telling
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: us a story of Mikey A being the person screaming
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: from the bleachers I want to dance because he promised
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the kids that anyone who gets a double or better
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: he's gonna dance.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: In the bleachers form. How do you feel about that? Yeah?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I love it. Motivation comes in many forms. I was
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: terrified the story would go the other way, which is
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that I want to dance means the umpire was saying, hey,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: stop barking at me, and Mikey's gonna I want to
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: dance like I want to fight with you. I'm much
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: more pleased. I want to dance as in a positive form.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: He wants to get up there and you know, shake
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and give a little roomo. Whatever it takes to more
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: me with the team. Listen, Mikey knows this. We all
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: loved baseball as kids playing it. We all love baseball
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: as fans. When you have kids and they then play baseball,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it's not just twice the enthusiasm, it's ten times the enthusiasm.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Like it's you cannot match. I try to tell people
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: who love baseball don't have kids. I can't even tell
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you the joy you have in coaching your kids and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: watching your kids. It's remarkable. So to see the wind
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that on thrill for Mikey on thrilled for the dancing.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Whatever it takes, I you can't top it, really can't.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It's awesome.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Did a lot of dancing.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: He did a lot of dancing. Look, a lot of
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: it comes down to bribery. My diego sisters days with
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the kids, don't want to play Big League chew baseball cards,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: screen time. Whatever it takes. Boys let's get If we
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: get a w I'll give you, guys whatever you want.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Dairy queen on me for days.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: And in very quietly, the faintest of heart beats, a
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: little sign of life. Ten games back of the wild
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: card in the National League, the best record since the
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: trade deadline, the New York Mets. Oh Jesus, could they
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: do this?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: No, so I looked at They'd have to win twenty
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: eight of thirty eight games to finish with eighty three
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: eighty four wins, which laughably the American League will probably
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: be the second wild card spot, but in the National
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: League it's not gonna get it done because those three
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: teams are pretty good now, d Backs, Phillies, Padres, three
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: teams vying for two spots. I'm hoping it's gonna be
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Philly and San Diego and the d Backs are out,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna those to be. I can't
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: see the Mets being better than those, but they have
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: been playing better. They do have a great outfield. That
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Carson benz Man. That guy's fun to watch. He threw
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: out two runners at the plate first in the like
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: that was incredible. God, if this guy stop running on him,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: forget it. Yes, Ajy Ewing could be a star. He's
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: like their outfield looks great. Ewing, benj and Wan Sota
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: went healthy, Jared Young at first base. Pevy and I
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: were talking all how much have they missed Peter Alonzo.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I go to be honest with you. I love Alani.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: They got twenty home runs in a great season for
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the Orioles, but Jared Young's were pretty good. One thirty
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: four our ps plus. He's actually a nice job for them.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Their pitching has been the issue, but now code I
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Singa is the closer and he's been amazing. He throws
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: two pitches. That's the simplified things, fastball, forkball, that's it.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: He's been awesome. So the Mets are not going to
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: do it this year, but surprise, surprise, there's reason to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: have confidence expectations for the next year. Noel McClain's looked
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: great once again. They've got holes, there's no doubt about it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: But they've been better and there've been a five hundred
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: team and Andy Green give them credit.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Worst case scenario hope next season, Jesus, I don't want
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: to have hope for next season.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: By the way, Benj, you'll love this. Tim Kirchin.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I saw him on Get Up this morning talking about
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the two assists in the same game, and he looked
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: at it to ken Ba Matumbo sees it, and Matumbo
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: went an entire.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Season without having to assist in a basketball game. And
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: benj did it last night in the first enning of
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: a baseball game. That is classic Kurchain right there. Huh,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: that is classic Cursy melody. The two sports. He loves
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: basketball and baseball together again. A guy who wrote a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: book called them fascinated by sacrifice fly. He's paying more
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: boring and white than a sacrifice fly. And this guy
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: writes an entire book about it. Oh no, there is.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: There is a Tennis Hall of Fame speech so Highland
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: of my summer thinking. One says, all the summer, I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: can't wait to go to the shore. I can't wait
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: to go to the beach, gonna take my kids, you know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: roller coasters, And I'm like, oh, International Tennis Hall of Fame.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Like I had a friend of my texture the day
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he goes, hey, you should go there. Excud Hell do
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: you think you're talking to you know? Offended? I was like,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: or you don't think I had this earmarked months in
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: years in advance. Okay, we're talking twenty twenty five. I'm like, yep,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Rogers conduction, Here it comes, here, it comes. I'm gonna
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: be there with a media credential sniffing the same air.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: My guy Adan real quick on the way out here.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: We appreciate the time as Zoey's.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: If I told you that Major League Baseball could hand
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: pick who they want in the World Series from the
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: American League of the National League, who do you think
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: they would choose.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's Yankees Dodgers. I mean, at the end
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of the day, just the biggest market teams. And you know,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the Yankees, even with the Christism I've given them, They've
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: still been the second best team in the American League
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: for much of the year. Like, the Raids are awesome,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and I think they're better than them, but the Yankees
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: could still conceivably be there, especially if Judge and Belgian
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: stand to perform. And for the Dodgers, I think the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: best storyline for baseball is do they get there and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: then they lose? Lose? I think the Yankees beat the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Dodgers and rather than the Dodgers winning in seven against
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the Jays of Dodgers losing seven to be great. And
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I'll say this for the Dodgers five and ten in
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: the month of August prior to facing the Rockies again.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: The Rockies are the tonic for anybody who's struggling. Go
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: face the Rockies will be fine. O Tani is a
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: second multi hom ern game of the year. But prior
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to that, Game five and ten in August, offense have
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: been league Here's the problem. Look at their postseason rotation
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and fealthy screwball Game one, your Momento, Game two, Snell
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Game three, O Tani Game four ridiculous. Now, I know
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: it's more than just starting pitching, but that's gonna be
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the greatest quartet of starting pitching. We've seen it one
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years of baseball. Now, Mookie Betts has
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: been suboptimal offensively, Freddie Freeman has become a singles hitter.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: They don't have Will Smith behind the plate. Their offense
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: is gettable right now. But those four pitchers, are you
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: kidding me? We've ever seen that before. Think of the Braves, Glavin,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Smoltz and Maddox. But then the fourth spot, Steve Avery.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: If there was a drop up. We've never had four
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: guys like this in a single postseason rotation.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I know Dodgers Yankees is the obvious answer, and I
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: agree with you, but there are so many like major
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: League Baseball has it right right now. The teams they
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: want to be good, the markets they want to be relevant,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: are relevant and are good. And so I'm thinking like
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Red Sox Cubs, they're gonna be happy with that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: You know, oh my god, Red Sox comes to be phenomenals.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So you're right Boston being back in the race, and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: again that's gonna be Yankees. Red Sox Optember twenty ninth
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: at NBC and Peacock that's gonna be unbelievable baseball, and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox could beat him because the Red Sox
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: have got lefty pitching, They've got rangers Swarz and Peyton,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Toley and Taylor nos the numbers. The Yankees have not
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: fredwell against starts. So I could see Boston pulling off
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that upset, and I could see the Red Sox make
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: it Roman Anthonys coming back, he's gonna be healthy, They're
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: gonna get Trevor's story back, and the reinforcements are coming.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And you're right about the Cubs like that last last
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: night's game, when you see Wrigley Field goal like that
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the best. It's been a long time, ten years since
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: we sell the Cubs in the World Series. I would
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: not be shocked Chicago's back in the World Series. And
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: even you could sell the small market teams. The Brewers
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: have never won a World Series. If we get Brewers, Dodgers,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: and LCS Milwaukee wins after just taking three or four
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: against the Dodgers, all of Wisconsin to be in on
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: that be amazing.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: And then I was watching last night's game and as
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: a neutral Cubs White Sox, if we got a crossown
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Classic World Series, that would be unbelievable.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: There's great options, That's what I'm saying right Oh, my
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: crossdown Classic can be unbelievable. And by the way, again,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want to religion into this, but I think
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the Pope is blessed this White Sox team. I mean,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it's remarkable that it's not a shock that a guy
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: from Chicago, a long suffering Mark Burley fan, is now
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the Pope and all of a sudden, the White Socks
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: are relevant. They've got their largest lead right now in
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the Al Central in five years, since twenty twenty one
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: like the White Socks are gonna win, that there's gonna
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: be playoff baseball on the south side. That is one
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: of the more astonishing things in the sport. The White
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Sox are back.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Good luck to you and your quest to touch Roger Federer,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Meet Roger Federer, get as close to Roger Federer as
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: you can. I like the idea of you going up
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: doing that fake interview and forgetting to hit record.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Do you imagine if your person goes You've got two
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: minutes and they're timing, and I've done the Hollywood junkets.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: They time it two minutes, okay, two minutes, and I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: forget to press record. Yes, and I've got Roger with
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: my stupid little life on him.
• 31:31

• 31:33
  Speaker 2: got closed. That's the point. Just get close to Federer.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: That's it. Yes, who cares? It would be what it
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: would wrap and he's extended his hand to shake it.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I would just hug him. I would just hugging as
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: hard as I could. And the.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Credential is so heady. It's how you get close to Federer.
• 31:49
