Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yes? And now you don't have to worry about it
for like another year.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Much How exciting?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Very exciting? Yeah, quite a twenty four hours here on
Fox Sports Radio, Jason Stewart is here, Papa Bearry, who
you heard, is our technical producer, and Isaac loh and
Kron is me at the news desk. We've got a
great show for you today, some ups and downs, some
highs and lows. There there was no bigger high than
(02:09):
watching the home Run Derby last night and seeing Coveno
and Rich by the way multiple times during the broadcast, Yes,
multiple times as they took in the home run derby.
Now the guys aren't here because eitherre in Atlanta. They're
taking in the festivities right now, just like they were yesterday.
But they were also in for Dan Patrick earlier today
(02:32):
as they were broadcasting from the All Star Game. So
we're gonna hear a little bit about their experience last night.
But I was I recorded the home run derby because
I wasn't gonna be able to watch all of it through.
So I saw the beginning, saw James Wood lead off. Yep,
my four year old is learning to swim, so we
you know, we got them some swimming lessons and so
we were doing some of some of that stuff. And
(02:54):
I go and I look on my phone and Jason
Stewart has sent me a clip said Cavino and Rich
in the outfield, and so then it kind of went
like wildfire. So I'm like, great, I'm gonna go. And
rewind I remember Byron Buxton was the batter. Yeah, So
then I see them, I'm like, wait a second, that's
a different angle. Yeah, but one that Jason Stewart sent
me so multiple times. They were bush whacking during the
(03:17):
home run derby last night in Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
I feel like you and I had the exact same evening,
except you were with your four year old and I
was out having margaritas. Because I also stopped after James
Wood put it to record and went out to dinner
and then came back and watched it already knowing that
I was gonna see them on screen, and then the
first time I saw them, and obviously one is wearing
Yankees and one is wearing Mets, so it was easy
to kind of catch them.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And I thought the same thing. I was like, that's
not the clip Jason put up. How many times are
they gonna come up? And so it was really cool
to see them. I mean, just those idiots. They were
having such a fun time.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
They were in the Byron Buxton sweet spot.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yes they were, because.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That's where he was launching his home runs last night.
We want you if you're a big convene rich fan
and maybe weren't able to catch him. This morning. Here
was a little bit of the guys explaining what it
was like to be Basically, I feel it's target practice,
like I really is like when you look at how
those home runs are flying off the bat, and I
(04:16):
just feel every fan is a sitting duck. So they
were in harm's way for a good two and a
half hours last night, especially when Byron Buckston was at
the plate. This was This is what Covino and Rich
had to say about their experience in the bleachers last
night for home run derby.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We go to the derby with our credential, we have
our press pass, we don't have an actual seat. So
I say, Cavino follow me, and I just sort of
go to left field, walk down the aisle, and I'm like,
all right, I see some empty seats and like the
fourth or fifth row in left field, I'm gonna sit
(04:54):
there until someone tells.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Us to move.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And guess what, Danny g No one ever, No one
ever came, Nobody ever told us to move. Now, Rich
and I have never caught a foul ball or a
home run out of all the games and derbies we've
been to.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Never.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yesterday, two balls came right at us, literally one seat
behind us, literally one seat in front of us. But
the feeling of that ball coming at you, it's like
a very intimidating feeling because this is up there forever
and you feel like the chosen one of fifty five
thousand people, like, oh my god, it's coming here now.
One came closer to Rich than it did to me,
(05:33):
and he said, he'll tell you, yeah, shicken down. There
was part of me because so the one in front
of me, someone in the row in front of us
caught one.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
It was too shallow.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
There's no way I could have got it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
The one that the guy caught right behind me, I
second guessed. I'm like, if I would have jumped, I
think I could have got a hand on it. But
then I'm like, everyone's going at each other. If I jump,
someone's gonna body check me, and I'm gonna go over
a chair, go over.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
In the chair.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I am right with Rich Davis. I am right with
Rich Davis on this. I know I'm a Covino guy,
but I'm right with Rich Davis. The way that they
talked about leading up to the home run derby, with
the balls coming at them, it was a frightening perspective.
They knew I got looks, and you know what I
wanted to say, Jason Stewart Paus when they talk about
(06:24):
that you think you have all the time in the world.
It's only because time slows down, yes, and so you
have a millisecond to respond. And I think Rich, you
made the right call. Get out of get out of
the way. You don't know all of these MANSI none
of these are cheap. These are all rockets, yes, being
hit at you. There's not the ability of let me
(06:46):
just snag this one. Maybe I can bare hand this one.
I am while being a Covino guy on most days,
I am totally with Rich and I agree wholeheartedly with
him chickening out in that scenario.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I've got he admitted that he chickened out because I
read that.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I hadn't heard it into right now, but I read
the story and I was like, of course Rich chickened out.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
He was worried he's gonna throw a hip out, that
he's gonna do something.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
But I will say, I'm not judging them as hard
because they didn't have a glove, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yes, so that does that makes a difference.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Like naturally, if I have a glove and there's a
ball coming in my direction, I'm climbing over you, over
the next person. I'm getting this ball just naturally if
I have a glove. If I don't have a glove,
I may reassess my decision.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
But it all happens so fast.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Like you said, there was a Okay, there was a point,
and this is Cavino did put on a blue Geico
big glove, and that was in the clip Jason Stewart
had in the first one that Buxton hit that we
saw them on TV. He did not have a glove. Now, granted,
I think these are inflatable gloves that are eighteen times
bigger than a regular goal, right, right, right, So it's
not like you're going to snag one. However, it would
(07:57):
cushion the landing of that meteorite that's aiming for your head.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yes, I wonder if now Rich is like man, I
should have gone for it.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I should have gone for it. What if I would
have got it?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I am on team Rich, you know why? Because there
are like eighty some home run balls even more than that.
Is it worth sacrificing breaking your hand for it? Maybe?
And for a guy to not be able to play
softball like he.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Does, Okay, fine, you're adding a layer to it. You're right,
he does still play. He probably you're adding layers to it.
You're right, I just the home run derby. You just
get so excited, you know, being in that you see
all these home runs that you want to partake in it,
even like I feel like naturally you would go for
it without wanting to.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Go for it.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say this, and I am curious
on the thoughts because I think there is the bigger picture.
Are you a Rich Davis and would get away? Or
how would you stand in for it? Sorry to use
rich as a verb here, but when I when I
saw the cliff at first, I know they talk about
you know, the bushwhacking faces stuff and the Bushwhackers deal
WWE tag Team Magnificent. But when I first saw them,
(09:06):
I'm like, oh my gosh, they look like little school kids.
They're in their jerseys, they're having a great time. It's like,
oh my goodness, a baseball almost came our way. And
then I thought, that's awesome that they look like school kids.
And then they did the bushwhackers stuff even better, like
(09:26):
it was. I tweeted it was it was magical because
it truly was. And to see those guys for how
much they love baseball, to see them rocking their teams.
I think it's cool when you have you know, they're
both New York guys, and Kevino's the Yankees fan, Rich
is the Mets fan to see them have that joy
and excitement, And what better place to be if you're
a baseball fan than an All Star game. Yeah, the
(09:47):
whole thing was just was just great. And I'm not
saying that because we're filling in on the show, but
it was. It was really cool to see. But at
first I was like, guys, chill out, and I'm like, no,
don't chill out. Chill out.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
I agree with you, and I thought that even before
seeing them, like seeing all of these you know, whether
it was a father and son. But the minute you
catch that ball, the excitement over everyone around you.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Everyone's excited for you.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
It's a weird feeling because it's like, again, nobody cares
about the final score. When you're at maybe an away
game of your favorite team and there's a home run
from not your team, You're like, oh, and then the
ball's coming at you and you don't know what to
do here in the situation, all the home runs, everybody
wants them.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Every single person wants to get one. There's pure excitement.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
It doesn't matter if you caught it, the guy next
to you, the son.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
It is such a cool.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Vibe to see everyone so excited. I cannot believe they
got down there.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Here.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
At Dodger Stadium a few years ago, when we had
the home run derby, you know Dodger Stadium, you can
go to the pavilions and walk around. On a regular game,
they actually held security and you couldn't come into that section,
even to stand in the back.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
You can only come in if you had a ticket there.
They really kept it, you know, secluded from the people,
and I thought that was smart.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
So I was surprised to see that they were able
to get down there and then nobody stop them.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Because at Dodger.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Stadium when we had the home run derby, the pavilions
were locked down.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
You can knock them in unless you had a ticket there.
On a regular game, you can go in there and
walk around.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
We have a surprise guest, Brock Purty, signed an extension
the last time we had him on the show. Live
from the All Star festivities in Atlanta, Rich Davis joins
the show talking about the highlight of last night. Rich,
I know I've said I'm a Cavino guy, but I'm
with you. I'm getting out of the way. I'm getting
out of the way for the ball. Last night.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
You know, it's not so much that I got out
of the way, it's just that there's so many people
around you reaching out with gloves. One of them was
definitely in front of me. I had no shot at
but the one where the guy right behind me caught it.
He was six six, he was a big dude, and
he caught it with one of those big ass blue gloves.
And I was like, if I jump as high as
I can and then I fall my back hits the chair,
(11:51):
and or if I get knocked over, I'm like, you
know what, I don't need the ball. We just want
to do the bushwhacker. I'm like, I know I can
catch a fly ball, but I think the funniest part
I just heard moncis I literally just walked with purpose
and made it seem like I was going where I
was supposed to go. I had my lanyard on that
had like all my credentials, and I just walked past
the security guard gave him a little like how do
(12:12):
you do? Like like I'm supposed to be going there.
I looked for two empty seats and I was like,
all right, I'll sit here with Cavino until someone else
comes here, and no one came.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I would say that the reason that no one was
in those seats was because they would be like me
and realize I'm gonna get peppered by baseballs for the
next three hours. Three rows from from you know, from
the outfield wall. There's absolutely no possible way to do
So how did Cavino get that blue glove? Sorry that
I just liked direct, but he had We saw you
guys multiple times when when Byron Buxton was up during
(12:45):
his multiple rounds. How did Cavino end up with a
blue glove?
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Oh, he snagged it because he wanted to give it
to Aaron Judge.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Stop.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
No, it was it was sitting there and someone goes says,
this is yours. It was one of those you know,
it's like a bobblehead sitting around. If no one claims it,
maybe he's like, I'll take I'll take it. And uh,
I think Geico was just handing them out if you
gave up like your email address or something. But yeah,
we we were We had a purpose. Dan and Monci.
We got down there, and uh, you know the fact
that right hand hitters stayed in was the key, because
(13:18):
when lefties are up, it's sort of like a snooze timing.
You're just watching. By the way, oneal Cruise look like
his balls were moving out of the stadium more than
any like it look like he had a different swing
than every other human.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
It looked like that watching it from.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Home now dead.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Okay, how fast did you know that you guys were
on the on TV or on the screen. Did you
immediately get a text from somebody, because, like Dan say,
you guys kept coming.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Up immediately, like all our friends and listeners are like,
you idiots, there you are, and like, honestly, it's uh,
it's coming on, and I agree. It's the one time
of year where we feel most like school kids. And
like I think Danny even said, we look like little
school boys in our jerseys.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
And yeah, yeah, I thought, come on, guys, be cool,
and then I thought, nah, that's not the way to
be cool. You guys were awesome.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
No, but it was fun. Thank you guys for giving
us a love with that. But yet it's definitely doing
that stupid bushwhacker at the Derby. It's a Caveno and
Rich tradition. We've probably done it ten or more times,
and each time the goal is to get on TV.
And the funniest part is, but you know, we had
our own TV shows, But that's more exciting.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Yes, totally, totally.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Also great to know that Truest Park has great Wi
Fi connection that you can get all those texts and
not find out after the fact that you know that
you're on TV, because in a packed house, you never
know how that's gonna work out.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
All right, it was a great time.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Are you think Yeah, are you headed to the game tonight?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yeah, we're actually we're headed early right now. We're gonna
interview Zach Brown, who's gonna be doing the national anthem,
and that'll be on our bonus podcast this week, I
believe over promise. So we're headed there early. They're gonna
grab some food and watch a game. So we're headed there.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Now, all right, enjoy it, Rich, thanks so much for
the entertainment last night.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah, don't see anyone sees tonight.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Later letter Rich Davis, he's the Rich part of you know.
When Rich here on Fox Sports Radio as they were
taking center stage last night, I know cal Raley wanted,
but still it was about Covino and Rich.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Last year, it really really was and cal Raley, I
can we just talk about the best moment for me?
And watching the home run derby was honestly matt Olsen
because you wanted him to get in right there in
the first round and he only got to what was
at sixteen, But it was like everyone was obviously rooting
for matt Olsen to get in or he ended with seventeen,
(15:28):
but he didn't have a home run that went as far.
But because it was Atlanta, you know, everyone there was like,
come on, get in.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Brent Rooker was mad, well, yeah, like that.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Yes, on the broadcast they said it looks like we
might have a swing off. When it happened, you know,
right away when they ended with seventeen, and then they
then they said, oh no, he's in by less than
an inch. And I wondered if did the broadcast know
the rules or are the players like, I don't want
to swing off, you.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Want me to do three rounds of this?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I think they made up a rule so cal Raley
would make it to the next round.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
And you know, and you know what, I'm not even
mad about it. I'm not even mad about it.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
If Matt Olsen didn't get in who it was in Atlanta,
I wouldn't have been mad.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
You know.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
I'm not even mad if they did put him in
there and he ends up winning.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
That's what everyone wanted to see, the big dumber.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Something that was missing last night were young children getting
peppered by line drives in the outfield because they it
seemed Jason Stewart, I bring you in that there were
more older athletic kids playing, including one that robs home
runs like that. That was amazing last night, But I
know it's one of your favorite traditions, is trying to
(16:40):
see if anybody can escape serious injury and not be
peppered by those line drives that don't go out of
the park. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
I don't know if it's my age or the fact
that I'm a father or whatever, but I can't not
think of it the entire event that I'm watching it.
I'm just kind of waiting, not like eagerly waiting, waiting
for one person to take in the face, because no
matter how much older they are or how much more
skilled they are, everyone knows that when we played heads
(17:08):
up seven up or whatever. In the on the school
yard game. The worst part is when somebody jumps in
front of you, blocking your vision and then you get
the ball in the face. Now, if they have to
take this poor kid to a hospital or even worse,
like everybody on talk radio for the next week is
going to be like, how did they allow these kids
to be on the field. Yes, but it's gonna take
(17:29):
something like that for us to have that conversation. I'm
the one who thinks about it the entire event.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I didn't think of that one.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
And last night, last night, last night, I saw a
couple of kids who are like, all right, these guys
are these are there are other high school kids or
their college kids out there. And then the one kid
robs Kevin Yell of the home run, like, that's the
only rule that you have is to not steal it
(17:58):
the ball.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
But just like I said, if I'm out there and
I have a glove, I would go for it. If
I'm out in the field, I would try and rob
a home run. How great would it be? And it's
still counted, right, it counted?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're gonna tell Dale or and our junior to not
dry fast, like it's it's who he is.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Yes, it would be like if if you're watching the
three point contest and the ball boy that's supposed to
mop up shoe wetness blocks one of Curry's shots.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yeah, he's in it like warming up so good. Yes,
that's exactly. You can't help it. You can't help it.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I am out there. I just great. Somebody wrote like
you had one job. No, he did his job. He didn't.
He just didn't do it correctly or to field the baseball,
just not as it's about to soar over the fence
to add to his home run total in the in
the final.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It was so good. It was such a fun home
run derby. It was so fun.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
How does tonight top it?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Well, you get to see you exactly, Yeah, and you get.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
To see Paul schemes to start things off, so it'll
be good.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Uh it was. It was a good night. And I
think that was more Jack because of what Cavino and
Rich were able to do experience. But still it was.
It was fun. You had you had drama, you had
a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Yeah,
it was good flavor last night. There also is a
point with it and I think that we can all agree.
And it's something that Monts and I even mentioned yesterday.
She went to the home run Derby at Dodger Stadium.
(19:29):
When was that twenty twenty two? And I've been to
about four home run derbys throughout my broadcasting career. There's
a point where you just want it over. You don't know,
you don't know where you are, but you're just like, Okay,
this has gone on like too long now, and you're
just waiting for them to play out this string. But
there is a point where you're still invested, invested, invested,
(19:52):
and for some reason, when I look on my TV
guide that pops up on we have direct TV, it
has a two hour window from home derby. Yes, never
in the history of the home run Derby has it
been anything less than like three hours.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I tunned in at like I don't I don't know.
It was like seven forty five local time out here,
and it's like, all right, here comes cal Raleck. The
weren't even done yet. Ah goodness, just make it bigger.
So that's that's all we ask. I'm talking about the
window on your direct TV, or however the TV guide you.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Are not wrong.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
I set it up to record and it was like
extend and I was like, uh huh, extend because this
is not two hours.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You like to extend one and eighty minutes. Please. She's
Monte Milanio. So I'm Dan byer in for Covino and
Rich today. Today's show is brought to you by ti Iraq.

Notice that she's done for the week. Shots all around,
all around.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
I don't like Patrump, but I'll drink it.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
She is Mancy belongials. I'm Dan byer in for Covino
and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio. Vegetarian but not
a fan of patron It's.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
You know, it's not great, but it tastes like tequila,
so I'll drink it.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
There's just better tequila.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Wait to take one for the team.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Mom.

that I thought that they looked like little kids jumping up,
But they they did. They did, and at first it
(22:01):
was jarring, and then I really appreciated it. And in
this day and age, where do you remember? Over the
last week or two, there was some like ESPN versus
ESPN drama with kirkurb Street saying something about I don't
think you should be a fan of teams, and then
l Duncan being like, well, I'm a fan, and then
it's back and forth.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I thought it was silly, so I didn't dive into it.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah that's okay. Yeah, it's the point is this, and
everybody has their opinion. If you're in a locker room
and you're covering a team, you're covering a sport, you're
talking to the players, you don't have a fandom, you're
not a fan. I feel like when you have a
sports talk show that it's not it's not necessary for
(22:48):
you to be completely impartial, because I feel it's more
about entertainment as it is in terms of anything else,
and if you're more passionate about something, then maybe you're
more likely to be more entertaining about it. That's as
simple as that I can put it. So I have
no problem with anybody that is doing a sports talk show.
Mad Dog Russo honestly one of the first ones ever.
(23:10):
What is so known about Mad Dog is that he's
an enormous San Francisco Giants fan. So when something happens
to the San Francisco Giants, aside from listening to the content,
you know that there's something that's going to happen, right
Stephen A. Smith with the Cowboys. Now just of him
being a hater. When there's something bad that happens, there's
going to be something along those lines, and I feel
(23:31):
the same. I feel the same here. So I love
seeing Cavino and Rich when they talk about their Mets fandom,
their Yankees fandom, and the bet that they have going on.
I think that only adds to the show.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I couldn't agree with you more. There is a time
and place, but they're not covering a team. They're entertaining,
and that's there's a big difference in that. And even
let's just hypothetically say that Coveno did cover the Yankees
and was at this game, this is different. You're not
working be a fan here, go crazy. But yeah, when
you're in the locker room and you're covering a team,
(24:04):
that's that's a different job than what they're doing than
what you and I do.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I think that if you are covering a team, like
if he was and he was at the All Star Game,
first of all, he'd probably.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Be not covering the team.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
I get it, I get it, and it's on his
own time. I think it would be a bad look
if he wasn't. I if he was in the locker
room normally and then all of a sudden he shows
up and he's wearing a Yankee cap, like I don't
think you should wear like I don't think you should
wear a Dodger cap to a you know, a Dodger
game or a Laker game or something like that. I mean,
just like if you're a member, maybe different of the
if it's cross sports, but you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Totally.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
The point is is I just feel like this is
all entertainment. When you're talking to the guys, and that's
if you're meaning talking to the players, you have to
have you can't show favorites.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
If you are a big basketball fan and Cavino is
covering the Yankees and he shows up in a Knicks jersey, completely.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Different, completely different. Yeah, totally that way.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Totally fans like it's is off time, he's not working,
but he's not showing his allegiance. I'm completely fine with it.
But yeah, it was awesome to see them in.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
There was geeking out. Yes, this is just geeking.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Ow see what jersey numbers they had on? So I
don't know what jersey Cavino was wearing and I don't
know which one that Rich was wearing. Something I probably
should have asked Rich early.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
But you know, in baseball, there's a lot of jerseys
where you don't have a name on it. It's more
common that way. So I also didn't see it, but
I wonder if they just had generic no no number, no.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Name be Yeah, we'll find out on another day. No,
you didn't win. You actually lost, because to play the
game is you go low. So then Isaac has the
thunderous of ah, you're wrong.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
No, I didn't like that, and then win.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
We're like, what thirty four dollars right? Jason, Like, it's
not about getting it right, it's about propping up what
Isaac is about to shock us.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I think I think Dan is still a little butt
hurt from losinging jury duty.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
We all agreed with Dan, but Moncey Wins, I think, was.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
A yeah, well that's that's that's law. I made the
right points. I mean, the right points. That's how all works.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Oh gosh.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
I have a little bit of sound for you guys,
and it has to do with what you're about to
get into. So you said earlier in this in this
segment that you don't know if Rich was offended or
not by you calling him a bunch of kids. I
don't think he was offended by that. But if you
listen to this, sound very close, so it sounds like
he was offended by one assumption you made.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Rich. I know I've said I'm a Cavino guy, but
I'm with you. I'm getting out of the way. I'm
getting out of the way from the ball last night.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
You know, it's not so much that I got out
of the way.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Oh, it's getting out of the way.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
That's what he sounds like you were questioning in his
manhood a little bit, and if he felt the need
to correct you, I know, of course.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
You were questioning his manhood. Out of the way.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I think it's I think it's revisionist history. Right.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
That's like me chickened out. Cavino said, chicken dout. He
chickened out.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
I'll let him explain, yes, if and then he said
earlier today he said, if I jump, somebody's going to
body check me and I'm going to go over a chair.
Uh yeah, I maybe I did. But I'll tell you what.
It's only because it's the reason why I don't sit
in seats that can be hit with a foul ball,
like I am all for the netting that extended down
(27:25):
the lines, because if I'm talking to Manci or I'm
talking to Jason Isaac Ryan and we're at the ball game,
I don't want to have to worry about being hit
by a line drive. And somebody may say to me,
will then go sit in the upper deck? I will, yeah, gladly,
that's totally fine. But if the tickets that I'm going
to or have an opportunity to sit in that maybe
aren't my choice. I want to make sure that I'm
(27:47):
at least okay and not going to be hit by
a baseball that I don't know is coming.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
I completely agree with you, especially like if we're sitting
Let's say we're sitting down like the third baseline, but
you're closer to home plate. To talk to me, you
have to turn away from the plate and you really
can't see anything.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
And if you're on the.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Other side, so it's like you almost have to keep
your back to the person in order to keep your
eye on the ball, it is I also don't want
to sit there. I think about the times I know
the net had been like a big discussion when they
extended it. But I think about how many times people
sat there, and maybe it's the phone. Everyone's now on
their phones, you know, and distracted, and back then you
were a little bit more in tune with the game. Also,
(28:26):
maybe hitting is a little bit higher.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
This time, at this time in this you know, twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
But I would not like to sit down there either.
I would also like to sit a little higher. And
it's kind of like watching a musical. I want to
be higher in a stage so I can see.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
The musical number. I want to be a little higher
at a baseball game so I can see the whole field.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Could you do bleachers like Kevino and Rich did at
Home Run Derby last night?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
I mean, I would do it, but it's like I
can't drink as much as I would if I was
just hanging out at the game because I got a
most important.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
I got to look alive.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
I would have a glove and I I but it
would be like I'm going there to try and catch
a ball. You know, it changes why you're going. Am
I going just to like have fun? I wouldn't want
to sit there.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I think there's also a change of being getting an
elbow in the chops that's outfield, Like.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Yeah, I would definitely be elbowed in the head because
I'm so short.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Sure I would, I would go down, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
So I was going to go to Isaac, but he's
eating a sandwich right now. Jason Stewart, Ryan, you guys
have any preference on where you sit? Do you? Do
you take into accounts.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
I'm I'm the guy who wants to catch a foul
ball because in fifty years of going to games, I've
never had one, and I'm going to aggressively move to
the ball and I want to I want to be
in seats where the balls are coming good. So I'm
on the opposite.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
It would have been the anti Rich. Then you would
have Yes, you would have jumped over over the wall.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
As you inferred Rich as a giant wooss and on
the opposite of that.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
But I'm with Rich. He may not want to admit it,
but I'm I'm on his side. Isaac.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
I'm gonna tell you guys a true story. As if
you didn't think I was weird enough. In high school,
I lived in Orange County, so I would go to
Angel games and I would try to get seats low
in the upper deck, just off to the side from
directly behind home plate, so I could spend the game
looking into all the broadcast booths. I'm not kidding, And
(30:28):
this true story. Back then, the TV announcer for the
Boston Red Sox was Sean McDonough, who does such a
great job on ESPN now. And Sean McDonough actually sent
a security guard up to where I was sitting because
he was like, why is this weird hole staring at
me the whole game?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
It's so good, that's so good.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
It's hard to make that up, right, Yeah, And plus
there probably weren't a lot of people at Angel games,
so he stood out. All right. She's I'm damn Isaac
Laurincronz here, as is Jason Stewart and Ryan Smith in
for Cavino and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:07):

We are back with Covino and Rich here on Fox
Sports Radio. The guys are not here. They were in
for Dan Patrick. They're in Atlanta taking in all the
Mlblstar festivities, just like the home run Derby last night.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
But it is time for our Tiract play of the day.
Speaker 10 (31:42):
Lo my drive to left, Let's skip to the wall.
It is over and Cal Rawley is your twenty twenty
five t mobile Home Run Derby champion, the Major League
home run leader, and Raleigh who just squeaked in.
Speaker 6 (31:59):

forty years, Tyrek has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where you drive. Ship fast
and free back by, free road hazard production, with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tyrek dot Com the
way tire buying should be. Dan, We've got the All
Star Game tonight, a great home run Derby.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
A great home run Derby monster.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Yes, yes, I know what you were trying to argue yesterday.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
He's all I'm gonna say. Justin tweeted. In She's Monty Blano,
so I'm Dan Byer tweeted Manciy at Monty Bolango, so
I'm at Dan Byer on Fox. Justin Green says, fun
idea for the home run Derby or All Star Game.
Have all stars sign a small number of baseballs, randomly
put them into play, and if they're a foul ball
or a home run, a fan gets a cool ball
(32:48):
as part of it. Or you could put them in a.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Churnity if it like doesn't end up in a fans hands.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Great idea. That is such a good idea, and you
don't have to do many. That's actually what would be
even better, right, ten balls? That's it, Yes, and you
might get one. No, then then Rich would have jumped over.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
The rectiveness of it if he knew it was autographed
by Byron Buxton.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
Yes, he would have absolutely thrown a hip out just
to catch that ball.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Instead, he wouldst out, uh, but you yesterday you and
I discussed how you thought.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
You know, the home run Derby takes away from the
MLB All Star Game because if it's too good, you
go into this game and it's like, all right, well,
the best.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Has already happened.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
I think the newness is off of it.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
The newness is off of it.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
I still don't agree with that obviously, because tonight we
are gonna get to see players we didn't see last night.
We're gonna see other stars. But I will tell you
one thing. Seeing Paul Skeens for maybe one inning.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Is what's gonna suck. Yes, stay out there, but no,
he's not gonna stay out there. Trek Scoop is not
gonna stay out there.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
You know what happens is when you try to make
everybody happy, nobody's happy. So nobody is happy with how
this is played out.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
That's a good way to put it.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
And it's not just Trek's scuble. It's not just Paul Skeins,
the Tigers and Pirates, especially the Tigers. Is there have
World Series Aspirations probably don't want Trek Scuoble to even
throw anything if he didn't have to. But he's gonna
go out there, represent the team and do what he does.
(34:20):
But at the end of the night, Manci, there's gonna
be players who didn't play at all, and the players
that we wanted to see didn't play that much. So
if you're a player on a certain team that didn't
get into the game, I kind of wonder, is there
this empty feeling. So it's either play everybody a lot,
(34:41):
make the teams mad, maybe make the players mad, or
then you have to play everybody, which was the reason
we got into the tie in the first place in
two thousand and two. But allow guys to re enter
the game or to do different things. I just feel
that there's with the limited action of Scooble maybe only
throwing one inning. In Skins throwing one inning, it's not
that you don't want to see them for two innings,
(35:01):
but maybe Dave Roberts is sitting here thinking, well, I
gotta get skeens out because I gotta get.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
I'm gonna yell at yeah, and then I gotta get.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Fourteen other pictures in the game, so they have an
all star experience as well. Right, so nobody is really
happy with how it's played out. I don't know if
there's a fix, but it sure seems like a lot
of people leave disappointed because of maybe how certain things
played out. Because you're trying to trying to feed so
many mouths.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
You make excellent points, and I don't know if there
is a fix, which is why yesterday.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
My point was, it's great matchups.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
This isn't a game you're tuning in to see specific
matchups and moments, and that is the big difference.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
I mean, if you make the All Star Game but
you're a replacement and you don't get as much playing time,
I feel like you can't get that mad. If you're
a replacement, you're also probably gonna make some money. And
if you're like Won Soto, that's all you care about.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Yes, maybe that's yes, that's a you know, let's say.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
You know, so some guys maybe are cool with just
getting the honor, getting the money and being there.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
I think that the guys would, Honestly, I think the
ideal All Star weekend is this show up Sunday night party,
like so many do, show up on Monday, do your stuff,
and leave and then have the rest of the week
to rest. I think after Monday night or even Monday
Night's party, they're like, Okay, I don't even want to
deal with the game anymore. And I know the game's
(36:22):
on Fox tonight. And I'm not saying that the home
run derby makes the game bad. I'm just saying it
takes a little of the special It could be a
great game tonight. We could have great games Derby numbers
were up last night. I'm just saying, it just takes
away the newness of it.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
What if we did it all in one day. Home
Run Derby starts at noon on Monday. You go for
three hours, you take a break, and then you have
the All Star game in the same night, and then
go home.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Have the guys whould be hungover? I think, what a
great game. Jeez Monts, I'm Dan Byer. One revealing comment
from the world's best. Next

out of it.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You wouldn't lie because you abide by the rules. Sometimes,
don't throw it away, you don't ignore it. You call
in and you find out your status. How nervous was
that phone call?
Speaker 6 (00:39):
I was? I had to go online, so I didn't
call in. I was able to go online, and I
was sitting at dinner with some girlfriends cause my friend
Natalie is moving to New York. Hope she's safely traveling
right now. But I read it and I was like,
read this, Am I right? Am I good for the week?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
And she's like you're good for the week and I
was like, yes, shuts eat that.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Music rocking Ryan, there you go. It's a lot to

I had somebody else read it to make sure that
I wasn't crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Am I reading what I think I'm reading?

But I had somebody read. I was like, is this
read what I think it reads? She's like, yeah, You're done.
I was like, great, Margarita's let's go.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Well, congratulations. We weren't sure Iff Monsey was going to

it feel good?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Things the right way?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yes? And now you don't have to worry about it
for like another year.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Much How exciting?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Very exciting? Yeah, quite a twenty four hours here on
Fox Sports Radio, Jason Stewart is here, Papa Bearry, who
you heard, is our technical producer, and Isaac loh and
Kron is me at the news desk. We've got a
great show for you today, some ups and downs, some
highs and lows. There there was no bigger high than
(02:09):
watching the home Run Derby last night and seeing Coveno
and Rich by the way multiple times during the broadcast, Yes,
multiple times as they took in the home run derby.
Now the guys aren't here because eitherre in Atlanta. They're
taking in the festivities right now, just like they were yesterday.
But they were also in for Dan Patrick earlier today
(02:32):
as they were broadcasting from the All Star Game. So
we're gonna hear a little bit about their experience last night.
But I was I recorded the home run derby because
I wasn't gonna be able to watch all of it through.
So I saw the beginning, saw James Wood lead off. Yep,
my four year old is learning to swim, so we
you know, we got them some swimming lessons and so
we were doing some of some of that stuff. And
(02:54):
I go and I look on my phone and Jason
Stewart has sent me a clip said Cavino and Rich
in the outfield, and so then it kind of went
like wildfire. So I'm like, great, I'm gonna go. And
rewind I remember Byron Buxton was the batter. Yeah, So
then I see them, I'm like, wait a second, that's
a different angle. Yeah, but one that Jason Stewart sent
me so multiple times. They were bush whacking during the
(03:17):
home run derby last night in Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
I feel like you and I had the exact same evening,
except you were with your four year old and I
was out having margaritas. Because I also stopped after James
Wood put it to record and went out to dinner
and then came back and watched it already knowing that
I was gonna see them on screen, and then the
first time I saw them, and obviously one is wearing
Yankees and one is wearing Mets, so it was easy
to kind of catch them.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And I thought the same thing. I was like, that's
not the clip Jason put up. How many times are
they gonna come up? And so it was really cool
to see them. I mean, just those idiots. They were
having such a fun time.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
They were in the Byron Buxton sweet spot.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yes they were, because.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That's where he was launching his home runs last night.
We want you if you're a big convene rich fan
and maybe weren't able to catch him. This morning. Here
was a little bit of the guys explaining what it
was like to be Basically, I feel it's target practice,
like I really is like when you look at how
those home runs are flying off the bat, and I
(04:16):
just feel every fan is a sitting duck. So they
were in harm's way for a good two and a
half hours last night, especially when Byron Buckston was at
the plate. This was This is what Covino and Rich
had to say about their experience in the bleachers last
night for home run derby.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We go to the derby with our credential, we have
our press pass, we don't have an actual seat. So
I say, Cavino follow me, and I just sort of
go to left field, walk down the aisle, and I'm like,
all right, I see some empty seats and like the
fourth or fifth row in left field, I'm gonna sit
(04:54):
there until someone tells.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Us to move.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And guess what, Danny g No one ever, No one
ever came, Nobody ever told us to move. Now, Rich
and I have never caught a foul ball or a
home run out of all the games and derbies we've
been to.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Never.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yesterday, two balls came right at us, literally one seat
behind us, literally one seat in front of us. But
the feeling of that ball coming at you, it's like
a very intimidating feeling because this is up there forever
and you feel like the chosen one of fifty five
thousand people, like, oh my god, it's coming here now.
One came closer to Rich than it did to me,
(05:33):
and he said, he'll tell you, yeah, shicken down. There
was part of me because so the one in front
of me, someone in the row in front of us
caught one.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
It was too shallow.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
There's no way I could have got it.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
The one that the guy caught right behind me, I
second guessed. I'm like, if I would have jumped, I
think I could have got a hand on it. But
then I'm like, everyone's going at each other. If I jump,
someone's gonna body check me, and I'm gonna go over
a chair, go over.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
In the chair.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I am right with Rich Davis. I am right with
Rich Davis on this. I know I'm a Covino guy,
but I'm right with Rich Davis. The way that they
talked about leading up to the home run derby, with
the balls coming at them, it was a frightening perspective.
They knew I got looks, and you know what I
wanted to say, Jason Stewart Paus when they talk about
(06:24):
that you think you have all the time in the world.
It's only because time slows down, yes, and so you
have a millisecond to respond. And I think Rich, you
made the right call. Get out of get out of
the way. You don't know all of these MANSI none
of these are cheap. These are all rockets, yes, being
hit at you. There's not the ability of let me
(06:46):
just snag this one. Maybe I can bare hand this one.
I am while being a Covino guy on most days,
I am totally with Rich and I agree wholeheartedly with
him chickening out in that scenario.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I've got he admitted that he chickened out because I
read that.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I hadn't heard it into right now, but I read
the story and I was like, of course Rich chickened out.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
He was worried he's gonna throw a hip out, that
he's gonna do something.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
But I will say, I'm not judging them as hard
because they didn't have a glove, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yes, so that does that makes a difference.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Like naturally, if I have a glove and there's a
ball coming in my direction, I'm climbing over you, over
the next person. I'm getting this ball just naturally if
I have a glove. If I don't have a glove,
I may reassess my decision.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
But it all happens so fast.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Like you said, there was a Okay, there was a point,
and this is Cavino did put on a blue Geico
big glove, and that was in the clip Jason Stewart
had in the first one that Buxton hit that we
saw them on TV. He did not have a glove. Now, granted,
I think these are inflatable gloves that are eighteen times
bigger than a regular goal, right, right, right, So it's
not like you're going to snag one. However, it would
(07:57):
cushion the landing of that meteorite that's aiming for your head.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yes, I wonder if now Rich is like man, I
should have gone for it.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I should have gone for it. What if I would
have got it?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I am on team Rich, you know why? Because there
are like eighty some home run balls even more than that.
Is it worth sacrificing breaking your hand for it? Maybe?
And for a guy to not be able to play
softball like he.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Does, Okay, fine, you're adding a layer to it. You're right,
he does still play. He probably you're adding layers to it.
You're right, I just the home run derby. You just
get so excited, you know, being in that you see
all these home runs that you want to partake in it,
even like I feel like naturally you would go for
it without wanting to.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Go for it.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say this, and I am curious
on the thoughts because I think there is the bigger picture.
Are you a Rich Davis and would get away? Or
how would you stand in for it? Sorry to use
rich as a verb here, but when I when I
saw the cliff at first, I know they talk about
you know, the bushwhacking faces stuff and the Bushwhackers deal
WWE tag Team Magnificent. But when I first saw them,
(09:06):
I'm like, oh my gosh, they look like little school kids.
They're in their jerseys, they're having a great time. It's like,
oh my goodness, a baseball almost came our way. And
then I thought, that's awesome that they look like school kids.
And then they did the bushwhackers stuff even better, like
(09:26):
it was. I tweeted it was it was magical because
it truly was. And to see those guys for how
much they love baseball, to see them rocking their teams.
I think it's cool when you have you know, they're
both New York guys, and Kevino's the Yankees fan, Rich
is the Mets fan to see them have that joy
and excitement, And what better place to be if you're
a baseball fan than an All Star game. Yeah, the
(09:47):
whole thing was just was just great. And I'm not
saying that because we're filling in on the show, but
it was. It was really cool to see. But at
first I was like, guys, chill out, and I'm like, no,
don't chill out. Chill out.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
I agree with you, and I thought that even before
seeing them, like seeing all of these you know, whether
it was a father and son. But the minute you
catch that ball, the excitement over everyone around you.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Everyone's excited for you.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
It's a weird feeling because it's like, again, nobody cares
about the final score. When you're at maybe an away
game of your favorite team and there's a home run
from not your team, You're like, oh, and then the
ball's coming at you and you don't know what to
do here in the situation, all the home runs, everybody
wants them.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Every single person wants to get one. There's pure excitement.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
It doesn't matter if you caught it, the guy next
to you, the son.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
It is such a cool.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Vibe to see everyone so excited. I cannot believe they
got down there.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Here.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
At Dodger Stadium a few years ago, when we had
the home run derby, you know Dodger Stadium, you can
go to the pavilions and walk around. On a regular game,
they actually held security and you couldn't come into that section,
even to stand in the back.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
You can only come in if you had a ticket there.
They really kept it, you know, secluded from the people,
and I thought that was smart.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
So I was surprised to see that they were able
to get down there and then nobody stop them.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Because at Dodger.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Stadium when we had the home run derby, the pavilions
were locked down.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
You can knock them in unless you had a ticket there.
On a regular game, you can go in there and
walk around.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
We have a surprise guest, Brock Purty, signed an extension
the last time we had him on the show. Live
from the All Star festivities in Atlanta, Rich Davis joins
the show talking about the highlight of last night. Rich,
I know I've said I'm a Cavino guy, but I'm
with you. I'm getting out of the way. I'm getting
out of the way for the ball. Last night.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
You know, it's not so much that I got out
of the way, it's just that there's so many people
around you reaching out with gloves. One of them was
definitely in front of me. I had no shot at
but the one where the guy right behind me caught it.
He was six six, he was a big dude, and
he caught it with one of those big ass blue gloves.
And I was like, if I jump as high as
I can and then I fall my back hits the chair,
(11:51):
and or if I get knocked over, I'm like, you
know what, I don't need the ball. We just want
to do the bushwhacker. I'm like, I know I can
catch a fly ball, but I think the funniest part
I just heard moncis I literally just walked with purpose
and made it seem like I was going where I
was supposed to go. I had my lanyard on that
had like all my credentials, and I just walked past
the security guard gave him a little like how do
(12:12):
you do? Like like I'm supposed to be going there.
I looked for two empty seats and I was like,
all right, I'll sit here with Cavino until someone else
comes here, and no one came.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I would say that the reason that no one was
in those seats was because they would be like me
and realize I'm gonna get peppered by baseballs for the
next three hours. Three rows from from you know, from
the outfield wall. There's absolutely no possible way to do
So how did Cavino get that blue glove? Sorry that
I just liked direct, but he had We saw you
guys multiple times when when Byron Buxton was up during
(12:45):
his multiple rounds. How did Cavino end up with a
blue glove?
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Oh, he snagged it because he wanted to give it
to Aaron Judge.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Stop.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
No, it was it was sitting there and someone goes says,
this is yours. It was one of those you know,
it's like a bobblehead sitting around. If no one claims it,
maybe he's like, I'll take I'll take it. And uh,
I think Geico was just handing them out if you
gave up like your email address or something. But yeah,
we we were We had a purpose. Dan and Monci.
We got down there, and uh, you know the fact
that right hand hitters stayed in was the key, because
(13:18):
when lefties are up, it's sort of like a snooze timing.
You're just watching. By the way, oneal Cruise look like
his balls were moving out of the stadium more than
any like it look like he had a different swing
than every other human.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
It looked like that watching it from.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Home now dead.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Okay, how fast did you know that you guys were
on the on TV or on the screen. Did you
immediately get a text from somebody, because, like Dan say,
you guys kept coming.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
Up immediately, like all our friends and listeners are like,
you idiots, there you are, and like, honestly, it's uh,
it's coming on, and I agree. It's the one time
of year where we feel most like school kids. And
like I think Danny even said, we look like little
school boys in our jerseys.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
And yeah, yeah, I thought, come on, guys, be cool,
and then I thought, nah, that's not the way to
be cool. You guys were awesome.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
No, but it was fun. Thank you guys for giving
us a love with that. But yet it's definitely doing
that stupid bushwhacker at the Derby. It's a Caveno and
Rich tradition. We've probably done it ten or more times,
and each time the goal is to get on TV.
And the funniest part is, but you know, we had
our own TV shows, But that's more exciting.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Yes, totally, totally.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Also great to know that Truest Park has great Wi
Fi connection that you can get all those texts and
not find out after the fact that you know that
you're on TV, because in a packed house, you never
know how that's gonna work out.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
All right, it was a great time.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Are you think Yeah, are you headed to the game tonight?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yeah, we're actually we're headed early right now. We're gonna
interview Zach Brown, who's gonna be doing the national anthem,
and that'll be on our bonus podcast this week, I
believe over promise. So we're headed there early. They're gonna
grab some food and watch a game. So we're headed there.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Now, all right, enjoy it, Rich, thanks so much for
the entertainment last night.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah, don't see anyone sees tonight.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Later letter Rich Davis, he's the Rich part of you know.
When Rich here on Fox Sports Radio as they were
taking center stage last night, I know cal Raley wanted,
but still it was about Covino and Rich.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Last year, it really really was and cal Raley, I
can we just talk about the best moment for me?
And watching the home run derby was honestly matt Olsen
because you wanted him to get in right there in
the first round and he only got to what was
at sixteen, But it was like everyone was obviously rooting
for matt Olsen to get in or he ended with seventeen,
(15:28):
but he didn't have a home run that went as far.
But because it was Atlanta, you know, everyone there was like,
come on, get in.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Brent Rooker was mad, well, yeah, like that.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Yes, on the broadcast they said it looks like we
might have a swing off. When it happened, you know,
right away when they ended with seventeen, and then they
then they said, oh no, he's in by less than
an inch. And I wondered if did the broadcast know
the rules or are the players like, I don't want
to swing off, you.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Want me to do three rounds of this?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I think they made up a rule so cal Raley
would make it to the next round.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
And you know, and you know what, I'm not even
mad about it. I'm not even mad about it.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
If Matt Olsen didn't get in who it was in Atlanta,
I wouldn't have been mad.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
You know.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
I'm not even mad if they did put him in
there and he ends up winning.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
That's what everyone wanted to see, the big dumber.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Something that was missing last night were young children getting
peppered by line drives in the outfield because they it
seemed Jason Stewart, I bring you in that there were
more older athletic kids playing, including one that robs home
runs like that. That was amazing last night, But I
know it's one of your favorite traditions, is trying to
(16:40):
see if anybody can escape serious injury and not be
peppered by those line drives that don't go out of
the park. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
I don't know if it's my age or the fact
that I'm a father or whatever, but I can't not
think of it the entire event that I'm watching it.
I'm just kind of waiting, not like eagerly waiting, waiting
for one person to take in the face, because no
matter how much older they are or how much more
skilled they are, everyone knows that when we played heads
(17:08):
up seven up or whatever. In the on the school
yard game. The worst part is when somebody jumps in
front of you, blocking your vision and then you get
the ball in the face. Now, if they have to
take this poor kid to a hospital or even worse,
like everybody on talk radio for the next week is
going to be like, how did they allow these kids
to be on the field. Yes, but it's gonna take
(17:29):
something like that for us to have that conversation. I'm
the one who thinks about it the entire event.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I didn't think of that one.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
And last night, last night, last night, I saw a
couple of kids who are like, all right, these guys
are these are there are other high school kids or
their college kids out there. And then the one kid
robs Kevin Yell of the home run, like, that's the
only rule that you have is to not steal it
(17:58):
the ball.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
But just like I said, if I'm out there and
I have a glove, I would go for it. If
I'm out in the field, I would try and rob
a home run. How great would it be? And it's
still counted, right, it counted?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're gonna tell Dale or and our junior to not
dry fast, like it's it's who he is.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Yes, it would be like if if you're watching the
three point contest and the ball boy that's supposed to
mop up shoe wetness blocks one of Curry's shots.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yeah, he's in it like warming up so good. Yes,
that's exactly. You can't help it. You can't help it.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I am out there. I just great. Somebody wrote like
you had one job. No, he did his job. He didn't.
He just didn't do it correctly or to field the baseball,
just not as it's about to soar over the fence
to add to his home run total in the in
the final.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It was so good. It was such a fun home
run derby. It was so fun.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
How does tonight top it?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Well, you get to see you exactly, Yeah, and you get.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
To see Paul schemes to start things off, so it'll
be good.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Uh it was. It was a good night. And I
think that was more Jack because of what Cavino and
Rich were able to do experience. But still it was.
It was fun. You had you had drama, you had
a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Yeah,
it was good flavor last night. There also is a
point with it and I think that we can all agree.
And it's something that Monts and I even mentioned yesterday.
She went to the home run Derby at Dodger Stadium.
(19:29):
When was that twenty twenty two? And I've been to
about four home run derbys throughout my broadcasting career. There's
a point where you just want it over. You don't know,
you don't know where you are, but you're just like, Okay,
this has gone on like too long now, and you're
just waiting for them to play out this string. But
there is a point where you're still invested, invested, invested,
(19:52):
and for some reason, when I look on my TV
guide that pops up on we have direct TV, it
has a two hour window from home derby. Yes, never
in the history of the home run Derby has it
been anything less than like three hours.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I tunned in at like I don't I don't know.
It was like seven forty five local time out here,
and it's like, all right, here comes cal Raleck. The
weren't even done yet. Ah goodness, just make it bigger.
So that's that's all we ask. I'm talking about the
window on your direct TV, or however the TV guide you.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Are not wrong.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
I set it up to record and it was like
extend and I was like, uh huh, extend because this
is not two hours.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You like to extend one and eighty minutes. Please. She's

a fan of patron It's.
Speaker 6 (21:30):

so I'll drink it.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
There's just better tequila.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Wait to take one for the team.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Mom.

that I thought that they looked like little kids jumping up,
But they they did. They did, and at first it
(22:01):
was jarring, and then I really appreciated it. And in
this day and age, where do you remember? Over the
last week or two, there was some like ESPN versus
ESPN drama with kirkurb Street saying something about I don't
think you should be a fan of teams, and then
l Duncan being like, well, I'm a fan, and then
it's back and forth.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I thought it was silly, so I didn't dive into it.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah that's okay. Yeah, it's the point is this, and
everybody has their opinion. If you're in a locker room
and you're covering a team, you're covering a sport, you're
talking to the players, you don't have a fandom, you're
not a fan. I feel like when you have a
sports talk show that it's not it's not necessary for
(22:48):
you to be completely impartial, because I feel it's more
about entertainment as it is in terms of anything else,
and if you're more passionate about something, then maybe you're
more likely to be more entertaining about it. That's as
simple as that I can put it. So I have
no problem with anybody that is doing a sports talk show.
Mad Dog Russo honestly one of the first ones ever.
(23:10):
What is so known about Mad Dog is that he's
an enormous San Francisco Giants fan. So when something happens
to the San Francisco Giants, aside from listening to the content,
you know that there's something that's going to happen, right
Stephen A. Smith with the Cowboys. Now just of him
being a hater. When there's something bad that happens, there's
going to be something along those lines, and I feel
(23:31):
the same. I feel the same here. So I love
seeing Cavino and Rich when they talk about their Mets fandom,
their Yankees fandom, and the bet that they have going on.
I think that only adds to the show.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I couldn't agree with you more. There is a time
and place, but they're not covering a team. They're entertaining,
and that's there's a big difference in that. And even
let's just hypothetically say that Coveno did cover the Yankees
and was at this game, this is different. You're not
working be a fan here, go crazy. But yeah, when
you're in the locker room and you're covering a team,
(24:04):
that's that's a different job than what they're doing than
what you and I do.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I think that if you are covering a team, like
if he was and he was at the All Star Game,
first of all, he'd probably.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Be not covering the team.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
I get it, I get it, and it's on his
own time. I think it would be a bad look
if he wasn't. I if he was in the locker
room normally and then all of a sudden he shows
up and he's wearing a Yankee cap, like I don't
think you should wear like I don't think you should
wear a Dodger cap to a you know, a Dodger
game or a Laker game or something like that. I mean,
just like if you're a member, maybe different of the
if it's cross sports, but you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Totally.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
The point is is I just feel like this is
all entertainment. When you're talking to the guys, and that's
if you're meaning talking to the players, you have to
have you can't show favorites.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
If you are a big basketball fan and Cavino is
covering the Yankees and he shows up in a Knicks jersey, completely.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Different, completely different. Yeah, totally that way.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Totally fans like it's is off time, he's not working,
but he's not showing his allegiance. I'm completely fine with it.
But yeah, it was awesome to see them in.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
There was geeking out. Yes, this is just geeking.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Ow see what jersey numbers they had on? So I
don't know what jersey Cavino was wearing and I don't
know which one that Rich was wearing. Something I probably
should have asked Rich early.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
But you know, in baseball, there's a lot of jerseys
where you don't have a name on it. It's more
common that way. So I also didn't see it, but
I wonder if they just had generic no no number, no.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Name be Yeah, we'll find out on another day. No,
you didn't win. You actually lost, because to play the
game is you go low. So then Isaac has the
thunderous of ah, you're wrong.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
No, I didn't like that, and then win.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
We're like, what thirty four dollars right? Jason, Like, it's
not about getting it right, it's about propping up what
Isaac is about to shock us.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I think I think Dan is still a little butt
hurt from losinging jury duty.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
We all agreed with Dan, but Moncey Wins, I think, was.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
A yeah, well that's that's that's law. I made the
right points. I mean, the right points. That's how all works.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Oh gosh.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
I have a little bit of sound for you guys,
and it has to do with what you're about to
get into. So you said earlier in this in this
segment that you don't know if Rich was offended or
not by you calling him a bunch of kids. I
don't think he was offended by that. But if you
listen to this, sound very close, so it sounds like
he was offended by one assumption you made.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Rich. I know I've said I'm a Cavino guy, but
I'm with you. I'm getting out of the way. I'm
getting out of the way from the ball last night.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
You know, it's not so much that I got out
of the way.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Oh, it's getting out of the way.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
That's what he sounds like you were questioning in his
manhood a little bit, and if he felt the need
to correct you, I know, of course.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
You were questioning his manhood. Out of the way.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I think it's I think it's revisionist history. Right.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
That's like me chickened out. Cavino said, chicken dout. He
chickened out.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
I'll let him explain, yes, if and then he said
earlier today he said, if I jump, somebody's going to
body check me and I'm going to go over a chair.
Uh yeah, I maybe I did. But I'll tell you what.
It's only because it's the reason why I don't sit
in seats that can be hit with a foul ball,
like I am all for the netting that extended down
(27:25):
the lines, because if I'm talking to Manci or I'm
talking to Jason Isaac Ryan and we're at the ball game,
I don't want to have to worry about being hit
by a line drive. And somebody may say to me,
will then go sit in the upper deck? I will, yeah, gladly,
that's totally fine. But if the tickets that I'm going
to or have an opportunity to sit in that maybe
aren't my choice. I want to make sure that I'm
(27:47):
at least okay and not going to be hit by
a baseball that I don't know is coming.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
I completely agree with you, especially like if we're sitting
Let's say we're sitting down like the third baseline, but
you're closer to home plate. To talk to me, you
have to turn away from the plate and you really
can't see anything.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
And if you're on the.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Other side, so it's like you almost have to keep
your back to the person in order to keep your
eye on the ball, it is I also don't want
to sit there. I think about the times I know
the net had been like a big discussion when they
extended it. But I think about how many times people
sat there, and maybe it's the phone. Everyone's now on
their phones, you know, and distracted, and back then you
were a little bit more in tune with the game. Also,
(28:26):
maybe hitting is a little bit higher.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
This time, at this time in this you know, twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
But I would not like to sit down there either.
I would also like to sit a little higher. And
it's kind of like watching a musical. I want to
be higher in a stage so I can see.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
The musical number. I want to be a little higher
at a baseball game so I can see the whole field.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Could you do bleachers like Kevino and Rich did at
Home Run Derby last night?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
I mean, I would do it, but it's like I
can't drink as much as I would if I was
just hanging out at the game because I got a
most important.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
I got to look alive.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
I would have a glove and I I but it
would be like I'm going there to try and catch
a ball. You know, it changes why you're going. Am
I going just to like have fun? I wouldn't want
to sit there.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I think there's also a change of being getting an
elbow in the chops that's outfield, Like.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Yeah, I would definitely be elbowed in the head because
I'm so short.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Sure I would, I would go down, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
So I was going to go to Isaac, but he's
eating a sandwich right now. Jason Stewart, Ryan, you guys
have any preference on where you sit? Do you? Do
you take into accounts.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
I'm I'm the guy who wants to catch a foul
ball because in fifty years of going to games, I've
never had one, and I'm going to aggressively move to
the ball and I want to I want to be
in seats where the balls are coming good. So I'm
on the opposite.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
It would have been the anti Rich. Then you would
have Yes, you would have jumped over over the wall.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
As you inferred Rich as a giant wooss and on
the opposite of that.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
But I'm with Rich. He may not want to admit it,
but I'm I'm on his side. Isaac.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
I'm gonna tell you guys a true story. As if
you didn't think I was weird enough. In high school,
I lived in Orange County, so I would go to
Angel games and I would try to get seats low
in the upper deck, just off to the side from
directly behind home plate, so I could spend the game
looking into all the broadcast booths. I'm not kidding, And
(30:28):
this true story. Back then, the TV announcer for the
Boston Red Sox was Sean McDonough, who does such a
great job on ESPN now. And Sean McDonough actually sent
a security guard up to where I was sitting because
he was like, why is this weird hole staring at
me the whole game?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
It's so good, that's so good.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
It's hard to make that up, right, Yeah, And plus
there probably weren't a lot of people at Angel games,
so he stood out. All right. She's I'm damn Isaac
Laurincronz here, as is Jason Stewart and Ryan Smith in
for Cavino and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:07):

Speaker 6 (31:26):
We are back with Covino and Rich here on Fox
Sports Radio. The guys are not here. They were in
for Dan Patrick. They're in Atlanta taking in all the
Mlblstar festivities, just like the home run Derby last night.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
But it is time for our Tiract play of the day.
Speaker 10 (31:42):
Lo my drive to left, Let's skip to the wall.
It is over and Cal Rawley is your twenty twenty
five t mobile Home Run Derby champion, the Major League
home run leader, and Raleigh who just squeaked in.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
You just are it all on ESPN, the Big Dumper
wins the Home Run Derby and you know. For over
forty years, Tyrek has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where you drive. Ship fast
and free back by, free road hazard production, with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tyrek dot Com the
way tire buying should be. Dan, We've got the All
Star Game tonight, a great home run Derby.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
A great home run Derby monster.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Yes, yes, I know what you were trying to argue yesterday.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
He's all I'm gonna say. Justin tweeted. In She's Monty Blano,
so I'm Dan Byer tweeted Manciy at Monty Bolango, so
I'm at Dan Byer on Fox. Justin Green says, fun
idea for the home run Derby or All Star Game.
Have all stars sign a small number of baseballs, randomly
put them into play, and if they're a foul ball
or a home run, a fan gets a cool ball
(32:48):
as part of it. Or you could put them in a.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Churnity if it like doesn't end up in a fans hands.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Great idea. That is such a good idea, and you
don't have to do many. That's actually what would be
even better, right, ten balls? That's it, Yes, and you
might get one. No, then then Rich would have jumped over.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
The rectiveness of it if he knew it was autographed
by Byron Buxton.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
Yes, he would have absolutely thrown a hip out just
to catch that ball.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Instead, he wouldst out, uh, but you yesterday you and
I discussed how you thought.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
You know, the home run Derby takes away from the
MLB All Star Game because if it's too good, you
go into this game and it's like, all right, well,
the best.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Has already happened.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
I think the newness is off of it.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
The newness is off of it.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
I still don't agree with that obviously, because tonight we
are gonna get to see players we didn't see last night.
We're gonna see other stars. But I will tell you
one thing. Seeing Paul Skeens for maybe one inning.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Is what's gonna suck. Yes, stay out there, but no,
he's not gonna stay out there. Trek Scoop is not
gonna stay out there.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
You know what happens is when you try to make
everybody happy, nobody's happy. So nobody is happy with how
this is played out.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
That's a good way to put it.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
And it's not just Trek's scuble. It's not just Paul Skeins,
the Tigers and Pirates, especially the Tigers. Is there have
World Series Aspirations probably don't want Trek Scuoble to even
throw anything if he didn't have to. But he's gonna
go out there, represent the team and do what he does.
(34:20):
But at the end of the night, Manci, there's gonna
be players who didn't play at all, and the players
that we wanted to see didn't play that much. So
if you're a player on a certain team that didn't
get into the game, I kind of wonder, is there
this empty feeling. So it's either play everybody a lot,
(34:41):
make the teams mad, maybe make the players mad, or
then you have to play everybody, which was the reason
we got into the tie in the first place in
two thousand and two. But allow guys to re enter
the game or to do different things. I just feel
that there's with the limited action of Scooble maybe only
throwing one inning. In Skins throwing one inning, it's not
that you don't want to see them for two innings,
(35:01):
but maybe Dave Roberts is sitting here thinking, well, I
gotta get skeens out because I gotta get.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
I'm gonna yell at yeah, and then I gotta get.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Fourteen other pictures in the game, so they have an
all star experience as well. Right, so nobody is really
happy with how it's played out. I don't know if
there's a fix, but it sure seems like a lot
of people leave disappointed because of maybe how certain things
played out. Because you're trying to trying to feed so
many mouths.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
You make excellent points, and I don't know if there
is a fix, which is why yesterday.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
My point was, it's great matchups.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
This isn't a game you're tuning in to see specific
matchups and moments, and that is the big difference.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
I mean, if you make the All Star Game but
you're a replacement and you don't get as much playing time,
I feel like you can't get that mad. If you're
a replacement, you're also probably gonna make some money. And
if you're like Won Soto, that's all you care about.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Yes, maybe that's yes, that's a you know, let's say.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
You know, so some guys maybe are cool with just
getting the honor, getting the money and being there.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
I think that the guys would, Honestly, I think the
ideal All Star weekend is this show up Sunday night party,
like so many do, show up on Monday, do your stuff,
and leave and then have the rest of the week
to rest. I think after Monday night or even Monday
Night's party, they're like, Okay, I don't even want to
deal with the game anymore. And I know the game's
(36:22):
on Fox tonight. And I'm not saying that the home
run derby makes the game bad. I'm just saying it
takes a little of the special It could be a
great game tonight. We could have great games Derby numbers
were up last night. I'm just saying, it just takes
away the newness of it.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
What if we did it all in one day. Home
Run Derby starts at noon on Monday. You go for
three hours, you take a break, and then you have
the All Star game in the same night, and then
go home.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Have the guys whould be hungover? I think, what a
great game. Jeez Monts, I'm Dan Byer. One revealing comment
from the world's best. Next
