Speaker 1 (00:19):
More Red Guard rage year on a Monday as FIFA
released their statement, still trying to figure it all out,
but they said, look, we have the power to do
what we needed to do. I felt that it was
necessary in this situation. These matches mean a lot. We've
done it before, we made the right decision. We have
the power to do so get on with your lives.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
That's the message. That was the whole thing. Nobody needs
to read it anymore. That was it.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
That was a translation for everybody else that didn't want
to read the thirteen paragraphs with all this mumbo jumbo
language that we're.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Like, okay, just get to the point. That was the point.
Very well done, dank you very much. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
It is July sixth. We are hours away from the
United States facing Belgium in the Round of sixteen at
the World You love to say, first of all, and
let's hear a little bit from Harry Kane. And after
last night's win for England, we had to fight. Yeah,
I've just been sitting now.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
On the occasion the team everything against us. Yeah to
the bull first, it was one.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Of those days.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Just look at incredible.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Speechless Grandpa came out.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Is that how missus doubt fire sounded? Is that I
have never seen it, but I would assume that.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Similar missus doubt Dan.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
No, I know a little bit of a little But
isn't there a soccer tie into missus doubtfire as well?

Speaker 4 (02:02):
This is like, yes, I used to.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
And then there's a they're playing in the park and
she tackles She's like kicking, kicking, yeah, like something like yeah, somebody.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I guarantee there are people thinking that that's Camilla Parker Bowls.
I guarantee because it's so high pitched.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
I'm telling your grandma and Grandpa someone.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
It could have been the Queen, the Queen r I
p Queen Elizabeth here. He needs his king. I know
Rich Davis is not of the royal family, but I
am the opposite. But it sounds, it does sound like
he swallowed a porcupine. Like it did. Like it is
just and it is not going down. But it was
a great excitement after a match last night that was

(02:41):
so good.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
So good, like it was, and he was it was.
He lost his voice because he had to yell at
his teammates. Right, He's trying to communicate with his teammates
and he has to yell so loud to.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
The silence on their goal when he scored after the
penalty was loud? Definitely, yeah, yeah, in a way it was.
It was. It was eerie on how quiet it was.
And Mexico answers with their own a little while later,
I mean they answered the two goals that England had
scored with their own. That went crazy. But just a

(03:14):
great night, a great night of action from Mexico City.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Jason Stewart, you guys know the name is better than
I do, But was the the Mexican kicker that kicked
the penalty kick and then just got into the face
of the English goaltender. I don't know what his name was,
but didn't I also see Neymar do the exact same
thing in.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
The game, stepped up.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Is it like a thing like they just talked trash
verbally and then they walk up to him after they
score and get their face.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Didn't Neymar score it? Didn't he talk after they scored it?
I was like, you're still down?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yes, That's what was so weird.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
It was you're down? What are you doing?

Speaker 6 (03:50):
They were down to zero? He made it too to
one with like thirty seconds off.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
From the game, right, what are we doing here? But
you know, he knew it was coming to and that's
why it was.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's why I thought like the Norwegian goalie could talk
so much crap. Yeah, was because he knew the matches
over that they were going to win. Even if Neymar
and his likely final World Cup appearance scores a goal,
you still have that back and forth. But yeah, there
seems to be a lot of chatter. The chatter that
I heard the most though, honestly, was how Harry Kane
took his penalty last night. None of that, you know,

(04:24):
raw rah deek out just kick it. Yeah, boom, no
hesitation back in the net, and it allowed England and
ended up being the deciding goal for them in the
three two victory. But I had heard a lot of
talk about that, if that's how you do a penalty,
because we've seen in some of these other litmy before.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, the little shimmy or the pause or the trying
to fake you out deflect alwe the old twin goals.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
No, he just went in and uh.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Just kicked it really hard and the goalie went the
right direction of Harry Kane's kid, you know, like it
was he He was just not fast enough.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
And that's the point of it. When you have that
much power, even if they guess right, you're supposed to
get it through them. Yea, is that what Gus says? JC? Sorry? Sorry, JC?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sorry, Gus, Like I'm not even watching.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
So her brothers and one of her brothers a great
soccer player, JC, jc's the one. The one I imagine
like last night with the goalkeeper and the and the
PK taker for Mexico, that that's what it was like
with the Lakers and Lebron. But nobody was talking to
each other and we found out that guess what that's

(05:36):
the case, Romona Shellbourne of ESPN, who I respect Ramona
a lot. I think some of the details that Rich
Paul gives to reporters isn't necessarily the reality of the world.
But essentially what Ramona was saying in this piece was
that the Lakers and Lebron didn't have any conversations. And

(05:58):
it was on one part because Lebron had one thousand
percent made up his mind a week before free agency
was to begin that he wasn't going to be a Laker,
and also because of how the Lakers did or didn't
approach him when it came to free agency, and explaining
on how the Lakers were able to roll out the
red carpet for Austin Reeves, their plan in including Lebron

(06:21):
James Moncey ultimately wasn't even a plan because I don't
think that it was an offer that Lebron James would accept.
And I know you and I have gone back and
forth on how this has played out. But Ramona did
a behind the scenes, you know, sort of deal in this,
and it was Lebron wanted something from the Lakers, obviously money,
but also wanted some sort of respect angle the Lakers

(06:43):
couldn't give it Lebron and made up his mind, so
he didn't talk to them, and poof, now they're separated.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Which it sounds right like Lebron he wants to be loved,
wanted respected, And as you have implied many times, taking
your victory laps a few times, that you thought the
minute that the Lakers signed Luka Doncic really was a
huge indicator.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
And I think a lot of people felt that way.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
And I can absolutely jump on that, on that bad
wagon and say that was the beginning of the Lakers
seeing a different future. It just is crazy because I
think Lebron he didn't swallow the pill of acceptance until recently.
Like when that happened, Lebron's like, no, I can win
them over, I you know, like in a relationship.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
It's like he thought he can win them back over.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
And then things happened throughout the season when the Lakers
got hurt, particularly in the postseason, or you can say
when the Lakers were winning games with the three of
them on the court and Lebron taking the third seat,
per se that we were discussing when it came to
Austin Raves and Luca Lebron.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Really, I'm stuck that Lebron thought he was going to
be a Laker.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Clearly the Lakers did not have that plan in the
sense that they knew he was not going to take
a deal that wasn't exactly what he wanted. So the
Lakers were playing a game. They were like, nobody's talking
about we're gonna We're gonna offer you something, but it's
gonna be after we've done everything else, knowing very well
that that wasn't gonna be. That wasn't They knew exactly

(08:10):
what they were doing. You know, give credit to the
Lakers that I think you said it. They've let Lebron
kind of handle the discourse of what happened between them,
like it's all coming mostly from his camp.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
The Lakers haven't said a lot, you know what I mean,
So I give them credit for that. But clearly they
knew what they were doing.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
They knew they They're not outwardly saying we were never
gonna sign him. They're letting it seem like, no, he
was part of our plan. He just was at the
very end of the plan.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
There are a couple of relationship things that I think
we can use in a relationship, and I'm talking about
a relationship between two people. Number one. The phrase once
a cheat, always a cheat. It doesn't fit here, but
in a way it does because it's also the first
time that when and the reason why I think the
way that I do that this is this is the

(09:00):
way of their thinking, en of Lebron's thinking is it's
tough to get over that someone may not have been
faithful to you. And I'm using it in the Lebron
Lakers world where the Luca acquisition and then them not
doing the deal that Lebron wanted to do was the first, say,

(09:23):
the first cheating aspect.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Luca was just a friend, right and just a friend.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
And it just like from that point on, there was
never a point where Lebron was going to fully trust
the Lakers, And to me, that's when it's over. And
I actually think it was more cold hearted, but that's
neither here. We've hashed that out for the last week
or so. What's interesting now is how Lebron has tried

(09:49):
to lay these tracks of where he's going next. I
loved the whiteboard. I said it yesterday like I loved
Rich Paul's whiteboard. Whether I believe what's written on there
is something entirely different. But I love the transparency of it.
But I just don't think it was a coincidence that
Lebron went on the golf trip with his buddies, something
that we talked about and they did it in June

(10:10):
prior to free agency. The report from Mark Stein and
Jake Fisher over the weekend that there is growing belief
that Lebron is going back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The
growing belief would be all the other teams that those
guys are talking to that are saying, no, he's not
going to come here. He's not going to have an opportunity.
So there aren't ten teams and all of their feelings

(10:30):
are kind of like I think what most of ours
are is that he's likely going back to the Cavaliers.
But so now he's doing these trips. He was photographed
with his high school team this past weekend, so you
saw him in the Cleveland area with his buddies from
high school. That to me is laying the grand work,
not to go to Minnesota, not to go and play

(10:51):
with jokichen Denver, It's to come back to Cleveland. And
that's how this whole thing ends.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Up laying out it really does seem that way, And
the only reason he hasn't just come out and straight
up said it is because I think he it's hard
for him to accept. The other pill is that not
many teams care to make moves for you anymore, Lebron.
Not many teams care to do to change what they're
what they've been building without you, because you're at the

(11:18):
end of your career and as great as it is
to watch you play as a forty year old, teams,
you're you're not bringing as much value as you think
you are, and so this is just to keep that
conversation going.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Then No, a lot of teams would love to have
Lebron know in reality that that's not it at all.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Cleveland finds something, whether it's nostalgic or what.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
But I don't see.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, and Lebron James being I just
don't see the personalities like mixing very well. But I
guess it does because Donovan Mitchell doesn't doesn't seem like
a big alpha. He seems like he's okay. James Harden
also seems to be like, I'm at the end too.
I don't want to be the number one guy. So
maybe Lebron can come in there and his personality. Maybe
that's why it works. Maybe that's why it works, but

(12:06):
I don't see it.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Maybe there's a way where And again I don't think
Lebron James is going there to win a title. I
think Lebron James is going there to rehab his final
years in the NBA because this Lakers didn't turn out
how he thought it would be at the end. If
they were to win a title or go to the
NBA Finals, that's a bonus, and that shows more of

(12:30):
Lebron's thing this situation. While I think that Luca is
better than Donovan Mitchell, and the Luca Austin Reeves combo
I think is better than the Donovan Mitchell James Harden combo,
they're not too different. So if Lebron finds his spot
that you like that he did so much in the
second part of the year, if he finds his spot

(12:51):
doing that in Cleveland with the better supporting cast that
we think around them, you know, with Jared Allen and
Evan Mobley, then maybe they can do something thing. But
I think and that's all that Lebron wants to do
but if you were to go anywhere else and fail
and not win an NBA title, it would look like
a failure. If he goes to Cleveland and they don't win
it all, it looks like a homecoming, right and that

(13:12):
ultimately is what matters.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
It does seem like it's all pointed in that direction,
because that's exactly how it will be looked at. That
he's not chasing a ring, because we're not talking about
Cleveland being this team next year that's going to knock
out the Knicks, the Celtics or Philly right now, that's there.
We're just not talking about them like that. Even though
we saw them get to the Eastern Conference finals, we

(13:33):
also saw them that they weren't there yet.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
They don't look like these other teams that we saw
in the Eastern Conference. And let's not even talk about
the Western Conference.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
So you're right, he's going over there and it's going
to be a he went home. He is not necessarily
going to chase a ring going to Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
What you just said. You said something about the Knicks
and the Sixers and the Celtics, the Cavaliers for three
quarters in Game one, so they could compete with the Knicks. Yeah,
and I you know, and I thought, like, it doesn't happen.
And it's I'm nitpicking here, but I'm just saying like
if Lebron James is on that team, and I felt,
I'm like, they don't blow that lead in the garden.

(14:12):
I'm not saying that they beat the Knicks, but.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
They definitely don't blow that lead.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, and they don't get swept yep. And so now
we're looking at the Calves in a little sort of
different so I don't know, maybe maybe they're a little
bit closer. Once the Calves lost that game one, it
was it was over, even though Kenny Atkinson had different
thoughts on it, but I just felt it was over.
I just wonder when we're gonna ultimately get the date,
And again I thought, I think it's gonna be on Wednesday.

(14:38):
I think that's the day. But it sure doesn't seem
like there are a lot of options still available for Lebron,
especially if now there's this bit of ground swell support
that that there's a growing belief you'll go back to Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, it makes the word You were right, Dan, you
were right.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
There's there's there's stuff that we will never know there's
stuff that Rich Paul says that I just don't believe
is true. Sure, right, And I just I and I
used the relationship sort of thing is there's just certain
things you don't get over. And I just don't think
that he ever got over the who doesn't comply with
Lebron James's contract requests? Right, And I think that, you know,

(15:17):
was the Lakers, and even though him and Luca got along,
I still think that there was strife underneath. Jason Stewart
is our executive producer of the show. Did you have
any thoughts on the growing belief that Lebron is going
to Cleveland.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
Well, I have to be on record as saying that
I have. I've co signed your opinion. I'm going to
give you credit for having the opinion first, but I've
agreed with you from moment one on the fact that
he was never coming back to the Lakers and that
in Cleveland was going to be the choice. And it
had everything to do with on Wednesday, when he makes
his announcement, it's just gonna be like Cleveland, I'm coming home,

(15:54):
and everything after that doesn't matter. There is I don't
think there's an expectation to win. I think win would
be gravy. But this is all about how much he
can get on camera for his final tour and paint
that like Rosie finished to a story. That's all Lebron
wants in this whole thing. So I mean the growing
speculation or whatever that he's going to Cleveland, it's only confirming.

(16:16):
I think what you and I both agreed a year
ago was gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
You want to know another reason why I think he
could go to Cleveland. This may sound ridiculous, but I
think he could play two more seasons.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I agree with you. It doesn't seem like this is
going to be the last season.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
And the reason I say that is because this is
going to be season twenty four. Just go to twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
He loves that, he loves those numbers.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Just go to season twenty five. Play this upcoming season.
There also could be a weird opportunity, and I'm sure
this would drive if he ended up going to Cleveland.
And I know his son red shirted this past season,
but there could be a way of hey, other son, yeah,
once come to the league. Yeah, play with that. So

(17:01):
he and Bryce end up like there's there are all
these things that could end up playing out in why
this couldn't wouldn't be Lebron's twenty fourth and final season,
and just having just having to say that you played
twenty five years in the NBA when the league isn't
one hundred years old, and you're like, yeah, I was
around for you know, more than twenty five percent of it,
I think is a pretty cool thing. But when you

(17:21):
get to that twenty five number, I think that that
could stand out as well. So I think that's another
if you went anywhere else, I don't know if they
would want him for two years.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
I think that Dan Byer deserves credit for those that
can't watch the video here. He refrained from using the
air quotes when he said that Bryce could get drafted
as opposed to Bronnie getting drafted air quotes, Well, well.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
We all knew that he's supposed to be the more
talented player. He's supposed to be. We've known that.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
The tough part about Bronni was like he was only
going to go to the Suns or Lakers, like right, like,
like they had a list they another Rich Paul live
Brani's list was shorter than Lebron's. Like, what are we
doing here the.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Other way around.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, switch lists, right, It's Red Card Rage Monday here
on Fox Sports Radio, getting closer and closer to the
US taking on Belgium in the round of sixteen at
the World Cup. The World Cup, Monci, I'm sorry, it
is completely overshadowed major League Baseball so much like baseball.

(18:26):
Next time this happens in twenty years, whenever the US
and Mexico and Canada have the World Up again, have
the World Cup again, If Rob Manfred's the commissioner, just
be like, we're gonna take eight weeks off, We're gonna
take the five weeks off and not play because so
much has been going on in baseball, but it's been
so overshadowed by the World Cup. And there is no
place that is more overshadowed than in Sacramento. And something

(18:49):
happened in Sacramento yesterday that has all of us scratching

Speaker 1 (20:01):
She's Monzi Blaio, So I'm Dan Byer. I know Moncey
and I have been together a lot lately here on FSR,
and it really dawned on me this morning when I
got a text at about ten thirty saying, and I'm paraphrasing,
did you just see what happened when they spun the
wheel on the prices right? It was a lady advanced

(20:24):
with twenty cents today.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
With twenty cents. She was the first one to spin.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
She got two dimes, two tens, had to stop at forty,
then the next person twenty twenty. The next person got
like forty five.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
The first one had like forty five and decided to
spin again and then ended up going over so that
she automatically eliminates herself.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Then it goes to the.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Final gal and the final girls already won like a car,
and she spins a twenty twenty, and Drew is like, well,
you can do a spin off, you know, or you
can spin again because you have one more.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
She's like, I'm gonna spin again, and she's like.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Okay, great, yeah, eighty or under eighty or under eighty
or under and it's eighty five and she gets eliminated.
And then would I say, that's why I think it's rigged?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Why did you think it was rigged? How could that
mean that it was rigged?

Speaker 2 (21:19):
In the sense I think the wheel goes I think
someone's like manipulating a little bit and that it like
gets heavier or lighter because they wanted to land in
a certain area. There's no way that that was all
natural like that there was no influence whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I don't think that it was rigged. I feel that
the wheel is fair. I don't I think that let's
make a deal is rigged. But that's a different story.
I don't think that the price is right is rigged.
This didn't go viral though. This wouldn't be a viral
moment because it's such an inside the price is right
and the woman who spun with twenty, that was the

(22:01):
right decision. Don't go to a spinoff.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Don't go to a spin off.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Then your chances are fifty to fifty. At that point
you have a much better chance to spin again. And
it just happened. Then she got one of the three
numbers that put her over.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well, because I witnessed that if I go to on
the prices right, and I'm in that position, I'm.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Doing the spinoff.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Because I witnessed that, there's no if I if I
had a twenty and I ended with an eighty five.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
I would I don't know how it handled that. Losing
a spinoff.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
You're like, oh, but you're like I all I had
to do was eighty or under, and I had eighty.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
The odds would say again to spin the wheel at
that point.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, I would have the red cards, Okay, card I
would have red guard rage if I went over within
eighty five in that moment versus losing on a spinoff.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
She made the right choice, she did.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
I agree with you. I agree that was the right choice.
I'm just saying I'm not going.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
To do that. If it was Clayton McCullough at the
prices right, he would have just stopped on ten.

Speaker 8 (23:00):
Finally, Dan and Monci, england back up midfielder Jordan Henderson
has been ruled out of the rest of the World
Cup after he broke his wrist while climbing over the
dasher boards while celebrating last night's victory over Mexico. Henderson
had only appeared in one match during the World Cup,
for seven minutes. No word yet on who might replace
Henderson in England's rotation.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well, I was a full back.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
That's European FOOTBA team.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yes, I was captain of the women's team. We won
three university championships.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
That's pretty good resume.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Back to you guys, Ah, well done, Missus Wildfire.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
By the way, in our Know Your Brits Harry Kane game,
we took out the first question where he talked about
the injury that was suffered. This is listen, this is
this is actually where Harry Kane's voice first cracked.

Speaker 9 (23:46):
Well, Harry, huge, congratulations, what's a contest, what a win?
But I just first he wanted to ask you what's
happened over there by the England goal, because there looks to.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Be some concern.

Speaker 9 (23:53):
Yeah, there, it's okay, okay, what else for the performance?

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Harry's okay?

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Actually, missus Doutfire's voice a little bit more soothing.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
There was there was a point, was it last night
in the Mexico England match where all of the subs
Mexico couldn't make a sub and there was an injured player.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yes, at the end, and then the game could just
kept going.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
He had and I don't mean to laugh.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Yeah, he rolled his ankle like on his own.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Nowhere he could go, and he just laid out of bounds.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yes, yeah, they were out of subs at this point,
I think.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
Is what happened, right, Yeah, they were, and so the
game's going on, and then you just see like medical
staff walk over to the sideline where they're almost by
like a corner kick in between like the right the
goal and the corner.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Kick, and they could have scored, and in that moment,
you know, it would have been a highlight that they
watched in Mexico for years wherever and the guy would
be laying on the pitch writhing in pain about cheering.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Fifteen would have been like, yeah, like.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Get him off the field, then just continue to play.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
He must have been so hurt because he couldn't he
couldn't lived himself up.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Well, we've all rolled our ankles.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
It hurts a lot, but there are sometimes where it's like,
is this more than just rolling of the ankle?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Like what did I do?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
And he couldn't get up? It must have been so bad.
But it was funny to see that happen on the
side as this game where Mexico's desperate to score and
England is desperate to hold on and then there's a
guy over there writhing in pain.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
I'm sure JCS rolled his ankle a bunch playing. It
looks like a soft Yeah, yeah, Gus, not so much,
not so much so with JC. Jurie Perez had his
day overshadowed not by the World Cup but by his manager,
the Florida Marlins pitcher. When seven innings, struck out eight
in Sacramento, did not allow a hits, did not allow

(25:54):
a base runner. He was perfect through seven. He threw
ninety two pitches. He was made making what his third
start since coming back off of injury. And you know
what you do? You take him out of the game. Yes,
pulled from the perfect game. The Aes then went on
the score five runs of the eighth, three more in

(26:14):
the ninth, and ultimately the Marlins survived with a nine
to eight win. Uri Perez got the victory, but also
I had a perfect game taken from him by his skipper.
How do you feel about that?

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Manzi Blaanios not gonna lie to you. I hate it.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I hate it, but I don't I don't know if
I'm right in my feeling. But to be able to
see a perfect game is something that is so special
and so rare. And you put yourself as a fan,
You're like, get out there.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
I don't care if you lose your arm. I don't care,
get back out there.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
And then the other side of it is a team
that is fighting to get into the postseason with a
player coming off an injury where you need him to
be available.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
I don't like it too.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
What I understand, Yeah, I don't understand. I think it's
hiding behind it. This is what Clayton McCullough, the Marlin skipper,
had to say on the reasons why they pulled Uri Perez.

Speaker 10 (27:10):
Going into this game, like ninety plus a batter was
a pitch count, But I felt comfortable with him coming
back off the time on the il, and you know,
us looking to play beyond the regular season, you know
URI's going to be an important part of that. So yeah,
I mean he had you know, he had it really
going today and I totally get it, And there was
a part of my heartstrings pulling at, you know, his

(27:32):
opportunity to keep on going. But I think I have
to think about Uri one and our organization, our team
and what's best moving forward to give us a chance
to continue to win games.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
So he made it more of a.

Speaker 10 (27:44):
Calculated decision with where he was with the pitch count
to you know, to take him out.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
That's the word I hate.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
A calculated decision. Everything is calculated now, everything is numbers,
is analytics, and sometimes it's just about your gut. Sometimes
it's just about the moment. Did he want to be
out there? I would I wish I could ask him,
did you want.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
To be out there?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
His answer would have been yes. If he was a teammate,
if he was a team player, he would say, I
want to do it's best for the team.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
But you can't tell me that he wouldn't have wanted
to be out there. Jason Stewart, I fully appreciate this
because I think about things that are like more rare
in baseball than a perfect game, like no hitters happen
all the time by the most random of people. But
there's only been twenty four perfect games on the entire
history of baseball one hundred and fifty years. Twenty four games.

(28:32):
So Uri Peres had a chance to become one of
twenty five people in the history of a game to
accomplish something. The only things that are like more rare
are like natural cycles, and like unassisted triple plays.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Natural cycles.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
Yeah, and what was the other one? Back to back?
No hitters like he would be in like that kind
of rare company of It's like, that's the experience. This
is what you grow up playing this game, and you
can accomplish something that that very few people have ever done.
And to have this like weird calculated analytics thing factor

(29:07):
into that decision. I give him credit maybe for acknowledging
that there were heart strings being pulled in that moment,
so he was a little torn. Just go with your
heart in this situation. It's a good chance he's given
up a walker hit in the next couple, you know,
if that's anyways, It's like, let him go out there
and basically, yeah and try that's right, that's what you

(29:30):
just I really do empathize with the URI pres because
probably never been in that situation.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Again.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Sorry, just that's my point is like I was wondering,
why not even try see what happens to start the.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Eighth inning, Just see what happens. They were they had
such a lead.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
That yeah, where I don't want to where was the
history of someone who was kept in the game that
all of a sudden then it ended up having a
domino effect where it wasn't like that's what I want
to know, and there is it because everyone in a
way hides behind this. There's no one that has gone

(30:09):
out and said, you know what, I am going to
throw one twenty. Let's see, let's see where it goes,
Let's see what happens. And I that may sound reckless
in a way, but it allows to your point of
just bringing him back out there. And if it's fine
and there are no ramifications, great, If he's losing velocity
at any point in the next two take him out,

(30:30):
say that that's much more than this was our calculated
plan to take him out of the game. Maybe the
A's who. By the way, in that scenario I mentioned
on the comeback that the A's made, they're trailing, what
ate nothing at that point. They want the date over
just as much as the Marlins do. So it's not

(30:50):
like they're going to be making great at Mats there.
There's there was an opportunity there, you know, by the way,
a Marlins A's game to make us and we are
talking about it. But yeah, I just I feel that
that's hidden behind the the We've got much more important baseball.
The Marlins are right now tied for the last wild

(31:12):
card in the National League. So you're telling me that
you wanted to save Yuri Prez for one start in
a three game wildcard round and not get a perfect game.
But but that, to me, that's that's that's not even
if the Marlins were like eight games up in the
NL East, so we knew they were going to be,
you know, maybe getting a first round by and again

(31:33):
we're only in early July. There's more of an argument
for that. But to say what he had to say,
I just I don't necessarily buy it, and I hear.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
What you're saying, because now I feel like I'm contradicting
myself because you're right, it's the Marlins in a National
League and you have the third wild card spot. But
if I am over here complaining about teams who aren't
trying to win that I have to believe that he's
thinking of an injury.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
He's he's that's what he's thinking.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Big picture is I don't I can't have this guy
get in again. But it's just not what we want
to hear. And it would have been better if you
would have sent him out in the eighth inning.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
And if he gives up a home run in the
first pitch, which has happened.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
You know when a guy is on a on a
no no on this or whatnot, and then you take
him out and then after when you're asked about it,
like we tried, it just wasn't meant to be.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Just you're right, if you got just throw it in,
just have him lose it himself, to.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Have him lose it himself, because so good, that's it.
Have him lose it himself. Instead you just decided he
couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
I would think the players would be behind it as well. Yeah,
like that's also something that brings together a team. We'll
see how it affects the Marlins, but at least your
Perez ended up getting the victory. I'm being inundated with
people giving props to Manzi, super hustle, red card Rage
absolutely coming with us far past the World Cup. Unbelievable
pull in that moment, Mancy. Yeah, bravo. Congrats to Mansi

(32:55):
for pulling thread card Rage for us here on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 11 (33:00):
Heater bart No, I'm not a heerder Rik screwers my

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Jason Stewart Iowa, Sam hanging out with US, Isaac Low
and Crown was at the news desk providing us all
the updates. Spain topping Portugal today one nil, so the
winner of this US Belgium match will face Spain. One
of the things that I love about the World Cup
is when countries like the US get involved. Instead of

(34:24):
Belgian waffles, do you think any restaurant went with Balligan waffles?

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Ooh, I hope so.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Spin off all the book, especially now because we are
so anti Belgium because of their stupid statement and them
them being our opponent today. There's also something great about
talking about an event like this. There are two things
that stood out, and I'm curious in what you guys
think of it. I don't think that I think that

(34:53):
when you're a journalist, when you're in a locker room
and you're talking to players and you're covering a team,
you're covering a league. I don't think that you can
be a fan of a team doing that. I think
it's very hard to do that because you have to
be objective. Our medium of talk of talk talk audio
radio podcast, however you want it. I think that your

(35:16):
fandom plays into who you are and the personality that
you are, so I have no problem with it. And
what I find amazing is, unlike the NFL or any
other league, we're all on the same team. Right. You're
a Clippers fan, I'm a Bucks fan. So in the NBA,
it doesn't mix. In the NFL, you and Jason are
Chargers fans. I'm a Seahawks fan. Yeah, I may want

(35:38):
the Chargers to win, but it's maybe because I have
a minus four and a half or have them at
a pigspool. But this it feels like we are all
together and I find that so appealing, and honestly, in
where this medium can get negative and we're trying to
have opinions and sometimes it can get hot taky, it's
been very refreshing and fun to actually do this and.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Talk about this, to just enjoy the ride together, and
a ride that has started the growth of us all enjoying.
This ride has happened obviously because our boys are winning.
Like if Team USA would not have won that first game,
I don't know if the vibes would be as high

(36:20):
as they are. But it all started on such a
high note that it made everybody pay attention to the
next match. Then they won the next match, losing the
third one in group in the group stage. But I
feel like winning those first two matches for Team USA
was huge and bringing us all in and us wanting
to pay attention to the rest of the tournament. If
Team USA would have lost those for the first match

(36:43):
the second match, I bet you it would not be
late the way it is.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
No, it wouldn't have been negative. It just wouldn't be here.
It would be absence, right, we wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
I mean maybe we would be watching baseball.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Yeah, this ride would still be talking about Lebron. Do
you get you guys get that Sam's Sam said to me,
I've got a World Cup shirt. I've worn it a lot.
I want to get another one. Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Starting out with a four to one blasting of a
Paraguay team we found out to be much better than
they were in that game.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
I think it just set the tone. It's set the tone.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
And then you look at the Turkey A game and
you're like, Okay, you know they could have but they
wrapped it up. Yeah, yeah, sorty. So it's yes, that
start was set the tone.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
It was. It was instrumental.

Speaker 6 (37:20):
Jason Stewart I sent out an email today saying that
this was this is earmarked as the day that talk
radio is supposed to complain about Baseball All Star snubs
because that's that's what we talk about. There's nothing else
to talk about. Nobody's talking about that. I think then
that tells you what the World Cup has been about.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Well, the Brice is wrong when it came to Bryce Terrang.
We'll get to that tomorrow when we are in for
Cavino and Rich. If you missed any of today's show,
be sure to catch the podcast. Just search Cavino and
Rich wherever you get your podcast. Please follow the podcast,
rate it five stars that provide a review. Again, just
search Cavino and Rich wherever you get your podcast, and
you'll find today's full show and a best of version
posted right after the end of the show. The other

(37:58):
thing that I love about it it's done in two
hours plus. It's not three and a half four hours.
It's dragging on. It's boom boom boom, and the next
thing you know, it's the.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Eightieth minute and they start on time, and they they
start on time.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Something Moncy has never done it never, not one maybe
not tomorrow either.
