Speaker 2 (00:16):
Day on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. I hope
your team is winning.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I hope you're enjoying the Ghost season postseason as it
officially begins. It's the first of the month. The legend
of the rent is way past due. It's time to
buy some Halloween candy, and it's time to get ready
for some postseason baseball. Don't yawn in October. Why you
know what happens when you yawn in October?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Right?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
No, tell us. Let's just say a ghost decides to
anyway have its way with you.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So hey, enjoy October. Know what happens during Hispanic Heritage month? Right?
Because it's another fifteen days every time you go on,
bad Bunny has his way with you. I do love
how by the way, it's still happy about Bad Bunny.
I just want to make this point because I haven't
been here the past few days. If you're not happy
about Bad Bunny. That's okay. It doesn't make you racist.
(01:12):
It could make you just a rock fan, that's all.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It could make you. I'm just a rock fan.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Could make you just a fan of hip hop or
pop or something else, but doesn't mean you.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
We've also seen some racist people.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, oh, you could be racist. And
I'm not hating.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I'm just stating it doesn't mean you wear oak Lee's
and Trucker hats.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And you're a Karen or a Darren.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It could just mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Metallica would have been cool, and I'm not the biggest fan,
and that's okay. I understand what the NFL is doing. Again,
though it is very extreme. We talked about it the
other day, but it is extreme. Though. You're right that
if you insinuate that you don't like the Bad Bunny choice,
there is almost like a weird like, what are you racist?
That's no, I just don't like you, know what I mean,
It's not my thing. I'm here to say that. Steve Cavino.
(01:56):
I'm always stating this because I'm half Mexican, right, so
that's hispanic. Last time I heard. I'm not happy about
the choice, but I'm not mad about it either. Is
he worthy of it? Absolutely, we've been hearing about Hey, newsflash,
he performed with jaylo and Shakira. He's already done this
super Bowl halftime, so he's been famous internationally known to
rock the microphone for years.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And by the way, if.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You're mad about anything regarding a halftime show, get a life,
mad about it your measures.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Imagine Mazi.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Imagine like you have so little going on your personal life,
professional life, marriage, dating, kids, work, that that you're imagine
being genuinely like mad about it, like rock must.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Be nice, must be nice if that is what you're
mad about, bummed.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Those are good, easy problems to have.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So I'm not hating. I'm just stating that bad movie.
It doesn't make you a racist. You could just simply
be a rock fan like I am. And I'm not
hating on on bad money. I hope he has a
great performance, and I hope NFL reaches their their mission
of gaining more international fans. That's clearly what's going on,
and that's okay, and it was perfectly stated rich by
(03:04):
you in my absence, But I did want to make
it clear that not everybody's a racist because they're not
pumped about.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It, like I said the other day.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Like I said the other day, it's uh, I'm just
really excited happy Gilmore's Caddy has come a long way.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yes, absolutely, I mean great for him.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I know we're having fun talking about bed Buddy and
other things, but can we talk about how your Yankees
blew it yesterday?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I listen.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I know I owe you a ton of money because
your Yankees there was so much more dominant than the
Mets this year. Put that aside. I'm not rooting against
your Yanks, but last night Max Freed's rolling.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He's rolling like Limp is getting nearly two thousands.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm gonna present a few things and then I'm gonna
hand it over to the number one Yankee fan. I know,
but I have a few questions. I just want to
get out. Why take out Max Freed? And when I
hear you wait, I said, let me prose my questions.
I'm gonna forget them all you like my kids, can
I witser one at a time. I just want you
to be able to cause I think I can say this
because Aaron Boone doesn't wear the nuts. That's why, okay,
(04:03):
and I like Aaron Boone I'm not an Aaron Boone hater.
There's a lot of people, a lot of Yankee fans
that love to trash Aaron Boone. I like the guy.
I'm not one of them. But he's not in charge analytics.
That's why it's the postseason. So I'm not saying there's
a time where you do push your guys, and it's
the postseason, like the whole like, let's hold back, holding back,
that's that's not what postseason baseball or any sport is about.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Like that's it's the postseason.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, it's a three game series, no less, you gotta
go all out Yankees. I mean, he was at one
hundred and two pitches, but since when is a hundred
pitches like this?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Like a guy will you know?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Like he's like it's a gremlin after midnight, don't feed
it after midnight. If Max Freed is cruising, pitch count
is relative, right, is it a laboring one hundred and
two pitches or is he cruising one hundred and two pitches?
To me, it felt like he was cruising one hundred
and two pitches. Can you let him get to a
point where he's in a jam. By the way, it
was all like a decade ago where one hundred pitches
(05:04):
was what you let a guy hit when he was
coming off of a rehab start or something. One hundred
pitches went from that's the number you don't want to
push to to your ace's playoff limit. Yeah, Alex Korra
pushed it to the limit, and it made all the difference.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I don't have any.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Chances when your dude is in a zone like that.
Didn't look like he was laboring a little bit in
the past few winnings. Yes, but I think you let
him finish out that inning. Winners know how to finish. Yeah,
Max Freed, I think his winner. So let me ask
you this. Well, he was asked at the end of
the game, like did you still have gas in the tank?
And he said yes, So that's all I need to know.
What about your left him in? What about on the
(05:41):
flippy dip of it?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah? I said, flippy dip.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Well, that's the proper sports term, I think, Yeah, on
the flippy dip of Bit Crochet one hundred and seventeen pitches,
And isn't the fun fact his one hundred and seventeenth
pitch I called the Sergio flippy dip it's isn't That
was his fastest pitch, so crochet dealing, and they left
him in to get through seven and two thirds. So
that right there is the different side. Question number two
(06:06):
for you, mister Yankees fans, Well, let me answer number one. Yeah, analytics,
Aaron Boone just playing it safe thinking that Freed was laboring,
but really Freed had gas in the tank. You let
him get to a point where he needed some relief.
I don't think he needed it at that point. So
that's the answer to number one. Question two, was Aaron Judge,
(06:30):
you know, the MVP runner up in my opinion, was
he not moving fast to that ball in a non
hustle move.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Or is he just not there?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Is he just physically really not ready? Arm legs everything
like he looked like he Didley dallied to that base
hit and the Red Sox leg out a double when
that was that was a single.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That was a single on the right field. There was
a hustle play.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It was a smart play knowing that Aaron Judge can't
throw the way he used to because he's coming off
an injury. He threw that ball back seventy three miles
per hour. If he'd thrown it eighty three miles per
hour like he did previously. Just ten miles p hour more,
he would have been out a second. But again, it
wasn't a matter of lollly gagon. Well remember, it was
a matter of just not having that gun and the
(07:16):
Red Sox seizing the moment and taking advantage. I get
props to the Red Sox for playing to their advantages, Monsey.
Danny g didn't feel like it was a little lollygagon,
not just to throw, like just getting to the ball
like you.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Know it did.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
But I understand what Covino is saying.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
It's more like we know he can do.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
It, so it's hard to believe that he was just lollygagging.
I think it has more to do with he can't
do it, and he made them right the smart play.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And what did your Dodger say in the postseason last year,
We're going to expose the Yankees and their lack of
fundamentals and hustle at times.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Right, it was about putting the ball in playing and
then beat themselves.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
That's a lot about that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Now, the last question, now this is the most important one.
I listen to you talk about the Yankees every day.
Off of the air more than on the air. I mean,
Cavino's the most die hard guy watches one hundred and
sixty two games. He could be out to a nice
dinner with his girlfriend and he's got his phone watching
the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
You know, in June game seventy something. It's my only joy.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Rich Well, I hope your joy extends me on today.
You talked last week, Danny G. Do you remember Cavino saying.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Bro impact player.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I'm gonna call it now, Yo, Ben Aros, Ben a Ros,
Ben Rice on Ros.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And you're doing your little scoop and ball thing.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yo, not in the starting lineup and s laffing because
you were all about Yo Ben al Ros.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Ben Ros Rice.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
They were two Yankees and a guy that didn't even
want to show his face to the reporters after the
game because he was probably aggravated. You know, a thirty
thirty guy. You leave a thirty thirty star star out
of the lineup. Where was Jazz Chisholm Stars? Where was
Ben Rice? I asked, because.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Talking about getting way too cute?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, I wrote it down here, Yankees getting cutesie. I
know Amid Rosario because he was a met I know
he went out to play for the Guardians, maybe even.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
The national at Rosario beat it with him.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
So Rosario, when I saw him in the box score,
I was like, oh am, I looking at.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
The right game.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Simple answer.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
He had thirty at bats with the Yankees this year
and you put him in Game one of the Wild Card?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
What are you doing? Aeron?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Simple answer? Not the right answer. I don't agree with it,
but I could answer the question now. To back up
Rich's point, the Yankees benched fifty seven home runs and
one hundred and forty five RBI by leaving Chisholm and
Rice out of the lineup. How do you do that
in a three game series? The answer is simple, analytics.
(09:44):
You're letting nerds ruin baseball. Danny, you got it's the lefty.
Crochet is a dominant, dominant lefty pitcher, so they were
going lefty righty matchup. So the Yankees were stacking their
right handed bats and taking Jazz, Chisholm and Ben Rice
out of the lineup as a result. So that's really it.
That really answers the question. Because even I'm scratching my noggin,
Rosario barely started a game for the Yankees all season.
(10:06):
But he's there because he's a right handed hitter in
that moment, and he's not a bad defensive replacement. Sony,
You're lucky that the Dodgers are facing a righty tonight,
because if you're facing a lefty, you might want to
sit Otani right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Maybe, how do you expect to wear with.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Two of your biggest bats out of the lineup? It's
a Travis No, you're right.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Former Yankee Clint Frasier tweeted this, leave it up to
the Dorks to f He put the whole work the
game up. Just use your eyes and make a lineup
with your gut. Ben Rice and gaestusm are too good
to sit out a must win playoff game.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And I couldn't agree more. And here's why analytics don't
work well.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Two reasons.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It's an obvious one, but I'll give Big Mike the
credit because he did point this out. Mike, who runs
this place, He has wisdom.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
We'll discuss that later near them when dealing with analytics,
they don't work. Gonna three game playoff because that's the
average of one hundred and sixty two game season, right,
It's not gonna work in that little series. You think
Big Mike came up with this thought. No, I'm just
given point number one, point number two. Analytics don't cover
(11:15):
in tangibles. Do they have it in the moment? Are
they in a good zone? And that's why you put
Weaver in there and he blows it. They guys don't
know that. They's just not in the moment right now,
and that do they have a hot bat? Are they
coming with their last couple appearances? They are struggling in
these type of pressure moments. It doesn't cover the human
element and that's what's ruining the game. And that's why
(11:37):
Boone is making these decisions. And it's not just Boone,
it's your stupid Mets, and it's your Dodgers too, Danny Gene,
you know it, And that's your problem with Dave Roberts. Yeah,
except you know the players step up now? Am my
man at Aaron Boone?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yes? Do I hate the Yankees?
Speaker 8 (11:52):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well I love them after today, I hope so. But
the truth is it's both to blame. And when I
say both to blame, I mean Aaron Boone in a
stupid analytics. I think he blew the game by taking
Freed out and having that weak ass lineup in there
and not making certain moves when I thought they should
have been made. I thought you should pinch run Goldschmidt
in the night, to be honest, when you had the
mingas still on the benchmid who has cinder blocks your
(12:15):
feet exactly like, and I get that run really didn't matter,
but put some pressure on that sweaty a hole Chapman
who I can't stand, and Bregman in his stupid face.
I hate the Red Sox huh, So I think Boone
blew it, but I also think that the bullpen and
bigj blew it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Don't blow it, Boone, Yeah, so don't blow it man.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I needed to give you the boring answer, like, hey man,
you blame the players and you blame the manager.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's both.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Boone made the moves and they didn't come through, So yeah,
Weaver stunk it up. Gian Carlos Stanton was in a
big moment and the biggest heartbreak of the night is
you have the bases loaded with no outs and you
can't push one run across as disgusting unless they change
it up quick, They're going home tonight. So I wanted
to vomit last night that's really it. I get so
(12:59):
upset that about it. But it wasn't just about the Yankees.
But everyone's talking about analytics today and it really is
what's ruining in the game. And last night was a
classic example of that. I mean, ruining the game is extreme,
ruining these macros. It is it's the micro versus the macro.
And when I say micro, and I'll mean your favorite
dirty jobs guy. I love Mike and I'm not talking
about micro. I'm not talking about micros in spots talking
(13:21):
about his macros and micros and his diet.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
What about my my pet crow micro. I said this
joke like a week Lamo on your shelf.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
He don't.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I applaud the fact that he told that pantroke twice.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
He's like a stand up comic. He just said.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
He's like, oh, that didn't work at chuckles, let me
try it at laughers down the block.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
So let me try it on a radio network.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, we all have fifty affiliates. So I look at
it like analytics don't work in the playoff. Oh yeah,
over one hundred and sixty two games, analytics will work, right.
But that's the big picture, that's the Macro in the
micro when you talk about a three game series, Cavino's right,
who's swinging a hot bat?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Who's called out of the bullpen? Where's their head?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
In these homents, you know there's always a guy like Volpi,
for example. I guarantee you analytics would have said sit
this guy out of the game. But he's great in
the playoffs, and he came in big yesterday, home run,
another single when it mattered, like who makes that call?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
By the way?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And I asked that because even though my Mets have
nothing to do right now, because they're irrelevant, A lot
of people are speculating Carlos Mendoza was not fired because
he wasn't even the guy really making decisions. So how
do you fire a guy that wasn't even making the lineup?
Do you think that it's the revenge of the Nerds?
Do you think it's uh Do you think it's your
boy Aaron Boone? Or do you think Cashman is making
(14:45):
the phone call before the game and he's.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Talk to him it's a team of goobers.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
You think Steinberner's and Cashman and everyone's calling and saying
we talked to the nerds.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Aaron?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yes, what do they say, what was the name of
that band that they had and Revenge of the Nerds
with that corny synthesizer just saw did they have electric violin?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, they call.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Him up and they're like, here's what we think you
should do based on the statistics.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
And that's why you get the results that you got.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
If Aaron Boone would just take a stand, I don't
believe he did in that moment. I believe that Freed
had more in him. I think you let him finish
out that inning. Then you start the next inning with Weaver.
You might have a different story. But here's the thing.
It's a bunch of woodoves could haves, should work. But
(15:36):
that's what's such about. I just think it's it's wild.
But you don't sit Jazz and and and Rice. And
that's why Jazz ignored the media yesterday and it was
a bad look.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
And Boone responded to that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
He said, yeah, I saw it, but all I need
for him to do is kick some mask today and yeah,
this is what they do, hey nerds, Yes, this is it.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
This is what they're doing right now, calculating here. Then
he says play Austin Wells against Crochet Hey Nerds, but
I met Rosarios only have thirty at bats for the Yankees.
Oh you gotta go righty lefty matchup? Who says here
in the analytics Brasario is much better against the left
(16:17):
handed pitcher. Yeah, but Rosario hasn't played at all this year.
Ben right here, That's why it sucks. That's why you're
not using your gun and your instinct, and that's ruining
the game. And I hate to sound cliche because I
know I'm not the first guy to say that, but
yesterday was the prime example of what we're talking about.
If you were sitting there wondering why that made no sense,
(16:39):
that's why. Yeah, Hey, let me ask Monty and Danny
g who I know we're watching their Dodgers last night,
Dodgers who were just outclassing the Reds one hundred percent.
But was there a party that's like, while we did
score ten runs and this team is stacked and they're
a while they're a World Series favorite, I'm sure is
there a party that's like, well, that bullpen's not gonna
fly against the Philly.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Are the Brewers or the Yankees or the Red Sox?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I think, you know, you don't even have to ask us.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
To, but but I'd only imagine, like, who's the guy
you bringing all the time? Hold on, don't tell me,
I gotta, I gotta you gotta call. It's a guy
that I'm always like, why do they keep bringing this
guy in? Because I don't watch the Dodgers the way
you guys do.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
You forgot about him when he had to turn around
and go back to the bullpen, remember.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
VESSI, Yes, I knew it was going to be Why
do you guys love Vessio?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Why is Dave?
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Why do you guys keep going to Vessi? He's inconsistent.
There's been times where he'll close games out or at
least still set it up very nicely.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
They make that phone call to those nerds again and
they go back to the control room and they're listening
to that music and.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
They're like, it says here Vessias.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
I mean absolutely, I think.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
His whip is under one and is the r was three?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But I just feel like Vessi, in key spots, there
are guys like there were inning Eaters.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
And there's guys that in key spots there have been
bigger culprits in the Dodgers' bullpen.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
We saw there was a point where I was going
the game was never in danger, but there was a
point where I'm like, well, the Reds are a Grand.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Slam away from being you know the Tye run on that.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Yeah, you know, you don't why I feeling that because
Roberts was just wanting to eat those innings up.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah, he didn't want He didn't want to was either.
You saw she right, and Dodger.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Fans were like, just just put it in first, but
they didn't want to do that. They wanted to try
to eat up some of those innings, and it was
the right move because.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Ultimately they wantas.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Moving forward, you're going to use your key guys, and
actually some of your starters will move to the pen
in those long relief situations. But when you're beating the
lowly Reds, who I can't make fun of because they're
better than my lowly or Mets, I think it's kind
of nice to see the Reds in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
It is I'm not just happy to be there.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I don't think it's terrifering. Cone is a g but
the Red stink. The Red're not They're not that they
deserve to be there. If your Mets were a dumpster fire,
I would say the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
No, actually disagree with you. They deserve to be there.
They got they.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Got there, and yeah, your Mets should have been there.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I'm not saying the Mets should be there. They blew it.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
But I'm saying any team that's eighty three and seventy nine,
four games over five hundred after one hundred and sixty
two doesn't really deserve to move on in any love.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
This is bad. This is rash charity they are. They
are there because they have that record, yet like they
did it sort of some sort of like sympathy give it.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
That was a Diamondbacks record a year that they want.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
You ever see the h You ever see the movie?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I believe it's grown Ups or grown Ups two and
there's like a water park scene and it's like two
hotties and bikinis and like one nerd girl.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And people use it as a meme. No, weren't they.
I know what you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The daughter? What was it?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
The daughters?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Like someone had someone in the grown Ups has like
three daughters and two or smoke shows and ones like
a nerd. Yeah, that to me like that's's character rob Schneider.
He has two hot daughters and one like yeah, sweet
Robbie Schneider. Well if that meme, which we've all seen,
it's like Philly's do. And then the nerdy, like unworthy
(20:02):
daughter is the reds What about the two dragons that
look all fierce, and then there's like the weird looking
one that's like got the weird You ever see the
super face? They have all these memes. You ever see
the one that's like a fitness competition's like ripped oiled
up like honky dudes, and one like out with a
dad bod Oh you mean your phone wallpaper? No, my
last pool party?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, no, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I mean, look, that was another weird game of analytics.
And I hate to bore you with that word in
this conversation, but it's a matter of here's what's ruining baseball,
even though it's very close, very tight, and very exciting
all at the same time.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I don't think anything's ruining it.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I think analyt aalytics are ruining the game because you're
losing that gut feeling, that gut move, the manager doing
his job. You're leaving it to the nerds. It's not
helping the game. Nerds don't belong there in this situation,
not in these small time three game series that we're seeing.
But it's also a matter of players not coming through.
So yes, both could be true. Analytics suck and certain
(21:02):
players suck in big moments, and we'll see if it
happens any different in a half hour from now. For
the New York Yankees, let's hope so well, it looks
like right now the Padres are in the leads. It
looks like Baseball's giving us exactly what we want because
we're looking at the first two series are going to
Game three's tomorrow, unless, of course, the Cubbies have a
(21:22):
comeback over the last seven outs of the game. But
right now, Dylan see started, it came out early. I
don't know if they're trying to save him for an
emergency situation through sixty something pictures. So Padres Cubbies likely
Game three tomorrow, Tigers Guardians Game three tomorrow, hopefully for
you Yankees, Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Game three tomorrow, the only one that won't be.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Dodger's just gonna embarrass the Reds tonight, just to make
me feel better about it, and By the way, here's
my hot I know you don't come here for hot takes.
You just come for our riches, hot buns. I know
you're not here for the hot takes. But my hot
take is I just don't like Alec Pregman's face. I
think he's stupid. I don't like his stupid face. But
my point in bringing that up, I think you would
(22:04):
like your face. You can't let that guy. You know
the guys that you can't let beat you, right, you
know that heading into the game, he's the guy that
we can't let beat us, and then you let him
beat You can't let that happen again tonight.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Iowa Sam asked me Monzy if I got Moncie Zuma's
revenge while I was in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's fun. He's full of like ridiculous puns.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yes, And I said, no, Sam, I did not get
Moncey Zuma's revenge.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
That's until you get an eighties thing like don't don't
trick the water.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I think it's still a thing tricks filtered and you know, no, No,
My sister went to Colombia and she said she wasn't
right for a week after that.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, my sister.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Went to Colombia.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Oh geez, so that's Iowa Sam.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
We got Danny G, super producer Danny G pumped about
his Dodgers on the phones at eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. Of course, Manzi is a big Dodgers
fan as well. She's here with your updates in a
few minutes. We got Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom, your
chance to win some prizes if you could repeat it verbatim,
and Midweek Major the biggest stories in the world of
sports in pop culture. We decide here on the show
(23:12):
if those stories are mid like the kiddos say week
or chopped or whatever they're saying nowadays, or Major Major.
So I'm Cavino. It's good to be back. That's rich.
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
We'll talk about baseball later.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I do want to ask, like, when you see a
team in any sport struggling with injuries and conditioning struggling,
do you ever say, oh, it's coincidental all is it?
Or is it always in your mind the problem of
the training staff? Huh, well, it depends. Does it seem
(23:52):
to be an issue like with your Mets for years
and years and years. I'm talking about the forty nine
ye Mets are just cursed. As we go into Thursday
night football, it could be Ricky Piersoll, Juwan Jennings rock Priority.
That point spread went from four and a half to
six and a half to now seven and a half.
This was supposed to be an NFC West battle here
in LA Thursday night. It was supposed to be what
(24:15):
people watch because everyone assumes that Dodgers are gonna wrap
it up tonight and tomorrow. You don't have to worry
about Dodger baseball out here in Los Angeles, Rams Niners.
That's a good Thursday night game. Two three and one teams,
and now it looks like the forty nine Ers is
gonna take an l unless, of course, Mac Jones and
Christian McCaffrey controlled everything and they, you know, control the
(24:36):
clock instead of trying to defense. Robert Salas got his
work cut out for him with that Rams offense. Like,
I don't know, like forty nine Ers might be ass
or buns, as the kids say, I don't know, that's
a lot of that's a do you realize how depleted
that team is? I yuxed up back for a while.
So your theory is the trade is that what you're saying.
Does that fall on them at some point? Like yeah,
(25:00):
I mean we've seen that before, something in conditioning. Is
is it right or could it might not be right.
I hate when those primetime games, even when it's not
my team. I hate when it looks like such a
great matchup on paper and then it happens and you're like, oh,
key players are injured, so it loses. It's like primetime
Pizaz Thursday night was supposed to be a good one,
(25:20):
So we'll see. Maybe the Niners could hang in there.
Only time will tell. Gonna be a defensive obstacle for
Robert Sala, who, by the way, did you see he
was fighting with the Jags head coach.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Is that over yet or one of they? Did they
hug it out? Salla said he thinks he chose the
wrong words.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Stealing sides.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, dude, when you saw those two fighting, if you
don't know what we're talking about. After the Niners Jags game,
defensive coordinator and former Jets head coach Robert Sala and
the Jags head coach Liam Cohen, we're having words. And
Robert Sell is the type of guy that could break
you in half and Liam Cohen is the type of
(26:03):
guy that like is a nerd.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I wouldn't mess with Sea, so to me, I damn.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So when Liam Cohen is like, keep my name out
of your mouth, I think Robert Salad I didn't even
know if you needed some John Boy lip reading.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I think he's like, I will break you.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Didn't he says it like like almost Van Drago, Like
why is that really what he said?
Speaker 6 (26:25):
That's what people were saying that we're trying to read
his lips say if.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
He dies he does. Yeah wow, But I just thought
that that's hard core. It wasn't one side accusing the
other of sign stealing.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, Robert Salad said, maybe he used their own words,
but saying that there's certain teams that are picking up
on signals.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Listen, it's not sign stealing if it's legally done.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
If you're just picking up on other team's cues and stuff,
that's just I think part of any game, right, like
when a guy's on second base, When a guy's on
second base, have you seen guys balk on purpose just
to move the runner from second to third and a
non key situation just because it's like to me, if
you're so easily giving it up, whether it be baseball
or ball. Yeah, it's just part of the game. Get
a more complex system. I don't know the intricacies. I
(27:04):
just thought it was funny that, and they're like Liam
Cohen said like keep my name out of your mouth.
And then Robert sala I think did say something to
the effect of I must break you. I think he
said I will find you and I will kill you,
something something like that. Some sort of liams Robert Salas
kind of pulled. You see that viral clip with a
bouncer who's gonna probably end up in jail. Headlocked that
(27:25):
kid and put his head through a car window.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Are you still traveling back? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I was. I was, Uh what happened? I was in
the backstroking, you know what. I'll show you that during
the break. I'll maybe I'll post on our Instagram story.
But right now it's time to go to Mansi for
an update.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Oh you mean malaniosy.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
It goesos. Let the update take you. That's how it goes.
Thank you to Jonas for that one.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, so guys, we've got October base. Yes, October Base.
The Guardians have forced a game three. They outscored the
Tigers already six to one, scoring five runs in the
bottom of the eighth inning, capped off by a three
run shot from bow Naylor. So Game three tomorrow for sure,
is that the second two greatest swords in sports Game seven,
(28:17):
But then it's game three, not game five, Game three,
Game three. Game three is more exciting. Game three, yes,
because anything can happen. Anything can happen, especially in the wildcard.
So who is also likely gonna have another Game three?
Likely Padres and Cups, because San Diego is up right
now three zero, it is the bottom of the eighth inning.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
It's Manny Matchado.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Yes, a Game three Manny Matchatto with a two run
shot extending San Diego's lead. And of course we still
have two more game threes Red Sox and Yankees. That's
at six Eastern Reds and Dodgers, that is at nine Eastern.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
News out of the.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
NFL other than the forty nine ers have nobody playing
on Thursday against the Rams. The Browns are benching quarterback
Joe Flacco's starting rookie Dylan Gabriel for Sunday's game in
Lon against the Vikings, and Joe Flacco is still going
to be the backup. Commander's head coach Dan Quinn confirmed
that quarterback Jaden Daniels has been medically cleared to return.
He's going to be a full participant in today's practice,
and Chargers head coach John Harbaugh announced that Joe Alts,
(29:13):
with that high ankle spring, is doubtful to play this week.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It's the first of them post season. Ghost season, Spooky
season has begun. As I always say, make sure you
take your trip to City Field. Isn't that a Spirit halloweeno?
You know, go to Spirit Halloween and get something earlier,
or else you're gonna be generic baseball player.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You don't want to be Aaron Smudge for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
So let me tell you this. You don't want to
be the weakest guy at the Halloween party.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Gets something. Now.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
You know how our parents fall for AI stuff all
the time? Yeah, my mom will send me clips and
I'm like, Mom, are you serious? And by the way,
if you missed yesterday the show we played will Rich's
mom No, which is so much fun. You can catch
out on the will Your boomer parents are the answer
to things. I'll tell you what they You know, it's
interesting about that game I've been working with Rich for
twenty years. I don't think Rich's mom knew me when
(30:07):
she saw me in the lobby the other day. So yeah,
she's like, is that you. I'm like, yeah, it's me, Marianne.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I look different.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So my mom sent me a picture of city Field
with a spirit Halloween sign and she's like, Richie.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Is this true? Like, yes, mom, they turned city Field
into a costume.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Which my point wasn't to make a bad joke about
city Field. Yeah, it's about getting a costume early. Yeah,
buying some Halloween candy early, because no one wants your
weak ass circus peanuts, your big orange peanuts. No one
wants your leftover fruit. No one wants your pennies and
a cellophene rapper. And don't be the weak ass house
that's not participating. Have some fun this holiday season. Nothing
(30:52):
worse than when you walk your kid around trick or
treating and they knock on a door like no one answers,
like one day you counts give my kid a little
kick cat or something. Anyway, and being postseason ghost season, Rich,
let me just give you one crazy stat before the
play of the day. All right, I saw this in
a meme, so it has to be true. It's actually
from the Athletic. If you're wondering how rare the Yankees'
(31:14):
ninth inning was last night, it's because it never happened before.
The Yankees are the first team in MLB postseason history
to have bases loaded with nobody out in the bottom
of the ninth and not score a run and lose
the game.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
It was kind of gross.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that ossory to hear that.
I'm not saying that anyone should have sympathy for the
Yankees or Yankees fans are me in particular, but it
was wild to see last night.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So they deserve to lose.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, you can't win the game with one run, Well,
not against the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Your dude, your pal Chappie or Ald Chapman. Yeah, who
is the.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Owner, by the way of the record fastest pitch ever
thrown in mid league baseball history, one hundred and five
point eight miles an hour had his way with you guys. Yeah,
he really did. He owns the Yanks. But guess what
it's not. Our Tirack play of the day is show, Hey,
Otani hit.
Speaker 10 (32:08):
Two bombs on a one to one Otani HiT's a
towering ball.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Day Pride Field.
Speaker 11 (32:14):
He flips so bad he watches it fly three quarters
of the way up the pavilions, just a mammoth blast
for his second home run, and the Dodgers are pouring
it on in Game one.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I know where that ball landed, right my buddies in
the seat. My buddy hit me up, he goes. I
went to get a coffee because the game was sort
of out of reach. I step away, and everyone in
the section goes, the ball landed where you were, which
is the worst feeling. That's courtesy of a five to seventy
Dodgers audio on Network. That was our Tiraq play of
the day. The only thing worse than your buddy Andy
story is when you leave the party, and that's when
(32:50):
all the hot shicks come.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
He usually does.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, the girls never came. All right, So hey listen,
we got Mike's words wisdom. We'll talk some NFL spots
midweek major all right here on sports Radio. Don't go anywhere,
stick around because this hour is going to be action packed.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Pee wee?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Is it safe to say? Set it and don't forget it.
The opposite of a bronco forronco. I got two quick
things before you get to AFC North Football, and some
thoughts as we get into Week five of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Have a Halloween question and I have a baseball question Halloween.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
First, what do you think the top four selling candies
are that people give away to kids? What do you
think the top four selling Halloween candies are? I read
recently that the top selling product at Walmart is bananas.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
You believe that?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Did you read that?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Did you see that? I?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
No, I didn't see that, but I know banana is
like the top seller in all pro from the clientele.
I'm sure it's not. I thought it was Large Bridgetown,
was Mountain dew. It's not Mountain doing lard enough rich.
Every year we see that M and M's is the
top of these lists. Eminem Old School regular, Eminem's number three,
number three on the top four.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
Sour Patch Kids. They are not they're the top selling.
They're the top selling non chocolate. Wait wait, you didn't
say non chocolate versus chocolate. Oh no, but they are
not in the top four.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
But I'm saying no, top three else it should be
one hundred grand because it's one of my favorites that
appear every Halloween. But it's definitely Reese's Peanut butter cup.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
That is your number one.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, selling candle, it's all It's all chocolate is so
number one is Reci's Peanut butter Some people.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Say in other parts of the country receas.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I was just to say, if you say you deserve
a kick, give me you can deserve a kick in
the dards if you say Reces pieces, like, what's a pieces?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
That's what I just said.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
So all right, two more in the top four. You're
essentially your final four. Number one Reesius peanut butter cups,
number three, regular eminems. It's gotta be like either Milky
Way or Snickers. No, they are not in the top one.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Uh oh, kinder Bueno.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I'm sorry. What I never had? A kindl.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
K is like a like a.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
TwixT twist bar or a kid cat like the little
kinder eggs you get prime. My kids love those little kids,
the little toy. What do you can say next, tobble roan.
Let's see, all right, so we got rees what else?
Eminem's eminem straight Minnie Hershey's chocolate bar? Do eminem peanuts up?
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Pie?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Eminems are number two? Okay, you got eminems? Are number two.
Oh does it go back to analytics nerds? No chocolate?
Not to waste time? You said it sort of sam Kitkats, Yeah,
they're the best kit cats.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
It's always weird how certain ones make cameos during Halloween time,
like Mister Goodbar and Crackle.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
And also certain candies are better when they're the mini size, Right,
you don't want the whole kit cat Bar.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Said, don't be a big slob starting now, because you're
going to see all this on on uh Tammy from
accounting's desks. She's gonna have a whole ball there and
you're gonna want to eat him every day. Oh, non
beat us, non chocolate. What are your favorite sur patch kids?
And maybe like starbursts?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah? I like Jolly Ranchers.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
You know that, you know the starburs for Halloween coming,
Like it's like two in a little sleeve. If you
get a pink and a red, that's like hitting That's like,
that's like hitting a walk off. If you get two reds,
if you get two yellows, that's like striking out like
the Yankees last night.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
That's like a two seven off suit.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Right now, What if you grab a handful and you
get like a banana laffy taffy and a yellow Oh
that's like, that's like starting a bed Rosario over Ben Rice. Yeah,
it's here's a guarantee, an observation. You're gonna notice this
Halloween season, it's always the yellow candy that's left over.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
Guaranteed later this month we'll do our Halloween candy draft.
Remember Travis joined us last.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Year, Right, all right, I can't wait. Can't wait.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
That being said, enjoy the season, one more season, postseason,
and rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Jane Goodall who passed away.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yeah, I had i'd one baseball question because I said,
your boy Chappy, who seems to own the Yankees, holds
the record for the fastest pitch ever thrown, one hundred
and five point eight miles an hour. Now I think
of Chapman and I think I remember where he started
playing his career. I remember him being a Yankee because
(37:16):
Cavino hated and loved him at the same time. Now
he owns the Yankees as a Red Sox. So besides
the Red Sox and Yankees, can you name the other
teams he's played for? Because I thought of a Cub,
I'm missing the Cubs is easy, all right, So you're
the Cubs when he won the World Series? Are the Cubbies?
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Can you think of who else he played for? When
I say, Chapman, who do you think of?
Speaker 10 (37:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Yankees?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Of course he was there.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
I don't yeah, I don't think of the.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Other one that came to mind.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Say it the Royals that comes to see you thought
of the Royals? I did not. I was thinking of
where he played his first like five or six season,
the reds so started with the reds then Yankee was
a rental for the Cubs, went back to the Yankees. Ye, Royals.
Now he's a Red Sox. But there are two teams
in between one. I don't even know you would ever
(38:09):
even picture or all this Chapmen wearing these collars.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Did he play for the Cubs?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
He did?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Okay in the world say Danny, are you worry? Are
you liking another planet?
Speaker 9 (38:19):
Wasn't there some controversy?
Speaker 6 (38:21):
No? I, oh, because you're no. But I just put
Gusts from the Berry on hold right now.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I was gonna say, like Danny's on a four minute today.
Speaker 9 (38:30):
Wasn't there some controversy when he was pitching for the
Cubs that like he had the way he was pitching,
like could have cost them like the game or like remember,
I know he had some offield stuff too, but I'm
talking about there was like something when he was with
the Cubs that they could have blown it.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
I might be missing, I might be misremembering. Well, okay,
how about this rich Did anyone say Texas?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
They did not?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
And that was the one I forgot. I forgot that
he won a World Series with the Texas Rangers. He
was on that squad. But the one that I couldn't
think of, Cavino couldn't think of, uh Bree was in
the editing room. None of us were Remember a Raldis
Chappie Chapman playing for the Pirates a year ago. Yeah,
I don't know whom. I can't even picture him in
the in the in the yellow and black yellow. So anyway,
(39:12):
he chapped in the difference makers so far. But we'll
see what happens today. But I don't want to rub
it in this game. Two starts in like a minute,
so you you could have redemption, but when you're the
bases loaded, no outs, you had to be positively thinking
like all right, come on base it and we got
this withies. You thought they were gonnat least, you know,
put one or you had to figure something was gonna happen.
(39:34):
Nothing happened like bases loaded, no outs in the bottom
of the ninth at home Yankee Stadium, the tradition. Like
in my mind, I'm like, wow, what an opportunity for
what base It ties it and then if they get
a base hit, then it's still like first and second,
no outs.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
The fact that three Yankees, two strikeouts and a pop up,
I don't know, man, that was Yeah, that was horrible
that it really was. That's why I were talking about it.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Believe me, as a Yankees fan, I know, oh that
the national audience of Fox Sports Radio doesn't give a
terrible terry funk about the Yankees. In fact, they're rooting
against him.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
It was such a big deal. Care about the postseason?
Speaker 1 (40:09):
And yeah, it was a big story. It was a
colossal failure last night. It never happened before. They had
a tremendous opportunity to at least tie the game last night.
Is Aldon the first Yankee to ever rock a beard
in the postseason?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I would say there's a good chance of that. Yeah,
on the mound for sure.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah, So well, hey, Red sox Yankeys about to get underway.
We'll see what happens with Bello though, because Jashism has
a statement to make tonight, he does well against him,
and he'll prove that he should have been in the
lineup last night.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Hopefully tonight, let's say, had a Gus in the Bay Area.
What's up, Gus?
Speaker 12 (40:46):
Hey, guys love this show. Thanks love that you gave
a Dewey Finn quote to start your show. That was incredible.
I just want to give some flowers to eroll this Chapman.
You talked yesterday about longevity and athletes, and this guy's
been throwing triple digits for fifteen straight seasons.
Speaker 7 (41:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
When you look at his Baseball Reference, it is pretty impressive.
Was there were times where you thought, all right, it's
coming to an end. He's doing something right, and his
the IRA this year is in the ones. So it's
like sometimes you think, like, oh, maybe his best days
are behind him because he's a veteran now. But he's
please waits out. He is in tremendous shape. The dude
is jacked, like John Carlos Stanton jacked. Chapman is jacked
(41:31):
and usually Guys that lift that heavy and stay that
chiseled get hurt a lot. And he's been able to
figure out a way where he's still dominant and still
a major factor for the team. So yeah, props to him.
I just don't like him. If you remember, he left
the Yankees hanging in the postseason was a no show
with Boone. He had some issues, So I didn't like
(41:53):
him with his tenure with the Yankees. But he's had
a great career.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
No, no doubt. Let's say how to Paul and Rhode Island.
Speaker 13 (41:59):
Hey, hey, gosh, you forgot about me the last three days.
But it's okay. It's a time zone. It's fine. I
love your show. I do love your show. I have
to babysit my grand kids.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (42:12):
Listen, listen. I'm gonna go with the Yankees again with
the World Series, and as a Red Sox fan, we
got we got one taken away. That's fine. But I
love your your producer, I love your show. But I'm
gonna tell you it's the money. It's the money. I'm
(42:34):
gonna tell you. Money talks and the rest walks.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
I mean, that's a general rule in life. But what
are you referencing what what I'm.
Speaker 13 (42:42):
References if if we get lucky with the Yankees again
and the World Series.
Speaker 10 (42:48):
They have to do it.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Yeah, I mean, listen, if the Yankees find the way
to win today, I think the American League is wide open.
You just don't want an early exit. You don't want
to get beat two games while your division and historic
rivals at Yankee Stadium. I believe it was sewn Casey.
I heard on Dan Patrick this morning, even from his perspective,
he was saying he thinks the Yankees are gonna pull
(43:11):
away with the series despite what happened yesterday, just the
way the matchups go moving forward and what they're capable of.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
The game has started now and let's go. And now
we're gonna talk some NFL and a team time. Keep
you posted on Yankees, Red Sox. Now my thoughts on
Aaron Rodgers and the AFC North. I think it's funny
how so much changes in such a short period of time. Now,
(43:41):
before I give you my words a wisdom, I think
we could sneak in a little prize here for everyone
listening to Fox Sports Radio. It is Wednesday, and we're
running late. I don't want to forget Mike's words of wisdom.
So here's what we're gonna do. We're not going anywhere.
We're gonna play Mike's words of wisdom right now. Then
if you could repeat what Mike says word for word,
(44:03):
you win that covene on Rich Fox Sports Radio Football
and we'll go back to talking about NFL.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
So you want to just throw on some Mike's words
of wisdom, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
We do it every Wednesday. We try to spread some
knowledge with our good pound Mike, who runs this place.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
It's time for the guy that runs this place.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. Thanks
for the clarification, Dan Byer, all right, Mike's words of wisdom.
Let it breathe, and here we go.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
If at first you don't succeed, perhaps skydiving is not
for you.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
All right, So easy, breezy, beautiful, that's a nice Halloween
treat for you. If you could repeat that verbatim, you
win a CNR on FSR Nerve Football, and they're new
and improved. So if you won in the past, they're
different this season. So eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox to play eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
We don't even need to replay it because I think
(45:11):
that was an easy one and a good one, all right,
And while we take the phone calls Aaron Rogers, not
Aaron Judge. Aaron Rogers. Is he the king of the
AFC North. That's what Richi's saying. I mean, it's really
interesting when you think about where we started this year,
right and again, it just shows that in every sport NFL,
(45:33):
Major League Baseball, NBA, NHL, hot dog gating, I mean,
hot doog getting is really the only predictable sport because
Joey Chestnuts just you know, east side Sam. You never
know the fact that right now the Ravens are one
and three and Lamars banged up at least till maybe
after that bye week. If they could escape at two
and four and then have to go on a pretty
(45:54):
sweet run, no one, but shit, what do you think
their record will be at that point? Well, if you
look at the Ravens, they got I believe two games
and then the bye. Okay, the two games the Ravens
have coming up not easy. Let me let me take
a quick old peek at the Ravens schedule coming up
the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
The Ravens schedule, watch it. Yeah, are we schedule watching?
Sim The rich loves to look at the schedule games
schedule watch it?
Speaker 10 (46:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (46:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
They play on Sunday against the Texans. Texans are one
and three the games in Baltimore. If you just pound
the ball with Derek Henry and hope to try to
sneak away with a win two and three, two and three,
then you play the Rams. I don't think you beat
the Rams without Lamar Jackson four. Then you gotta buy.
And then after your bye you come back against the Bears.
(46:54):
Who who knows how the Bears are gonna look over
the next couple weeks, So you need to only split
the next two to even be in the conversation. So
when you talk about the AFC North and where we were,
I think they could be Three and four months ago.
The Bengals started out hot and everyone said, yeah, this
is the year. And then poor Joey Burrow and his
(47:15):
turf toe out for at least three months.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
I call that a.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Port Manzi knows what I'm talking about. Monzi, do you
feel bad for Joe Burrows?
Speaker 5 (47:27):
I was so sorry.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
That was so funny.
Speaker 7 (47:32):
That was so freaking funny. Thank you, Hey, nobody, Joe Burrow.
It keeps about three months. So the Bengals went from
this is it? How many people wrote down Joe Burrow
as their MVP pick on the Fox Sports Radio in studio,
(47:52):
she we have right. I mean a lot of people say.
A lot of people said, now everyone's comparing him to
Andrew Luck. I guess sounds like Andrew bead Luck Burrow
not happened in Bengals. I mean they've got trash since
he got, you know, taken out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
I'm hoping for the best, just for the sake of
good football in his career. Lamar not from Revenger the Nerds. No,
Lamar Jackson hamstring injury means Cooper Rush is taken.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Over by the way, you know.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds was also in Cobra
Kai in the original Karate Kid.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
In the actual movie, Really Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Lamar from The Revenger of Nerds through the Javelin was
also in Cobra Kai.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
I mean, how cool. He's almost in the All Valley
Karate Champion back in eighty four.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
He's almost as cool as the actor I never know
his name who played Francis and Pee's Big Adventure. Who
is also the guy that said look, it's Enrico Palazzo,
who was also Chubb, who was also Chubbs and teen Wolf.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, that guy, he might be the coolest.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
So anyway, Lamar Jackson out for weeks, Cooper Rush taken over.
No one ever ever thought that they would drop all
these close.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
Games, right.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
They lost to the Chiefs Lions at a tough early schedule,
but lost all those games.
Speaker 9 (49:08):
I'm sorry, I just got in your ear and said
Mark Holton. Who's He's the guy who played He was
also John Wayne Gacy in the movie Gasey.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
Oh Man, that's an actor right there.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
He was in Pee Wee's Brown and the Browns are trashed.
They bench Flacco for Dylan Gabriel. They're still trying to
figure it out. Suld Or Sanders is like being all
silly and doesn't know what's.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
Going on there.
Speaker 3 (49:25):
He went full mime. That was so good.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
So, I mean that division who we thought was like,
this is the division. All of a sudden, it looks
like cheeks and there's Aaron Rodgers, as Colin Cowhart likes
to point out, very unproductive in the big picture of quarterbacks,
like his QB rating and you know where he assesses
amongst the NFL quarterbacks not very high. That doesn't matter though,
(49:49):
because they're off to a three and one start and
now they're sitting on a by. They come back and
they are infirm control of the NFC North. Nice and
it just shows you that everyone's like Aaron Rodgers, Oh,
come on, they got Burrow and Lamar and you know
Cleveland's gonna try to.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Make some noise yo.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
Yeah, but did they really size up with the better
teams or is it just a matter of these other
teams win winning?
Speaker 7 (50:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (50:13):
When someone's winning, I don't you know.
Speaker 6 (50:15):
And you can also say the Steelers are just a
better ran organization than the Jets.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
Can we talk about where the Steelers go over the
next couple of weeks. They're on a bye, then they
play the Browns okay four, and then they play the
Bengals without Burrow. Then they play the Packers and the Colts.
Let's say they split those right five and two. Yeah,
but you're the first guy to point out like a
(50:41):
week five and one or a week sick. Remember you
were real hard on the Green Bay Packers one year
they were thirteen and something.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yeah, but they're not that. I was hard on someone
who was a soft way Packers.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
You were someone else. But I'm I'm I do get
down on teams that have like they're a soft team.
Speaker 9 (51:01):
That last year jan Packers went like they did not
do well against their own division, but they had a
lot of wins.
Speaker 4 (51:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (51:07):
I think there's certain teams whose record don't indicate how
good or bad they really are.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
We really won't know.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
They might be King of the North, like you said,
sounds a Game of the Thrones. They might be King
of the North over King Jeoffrey. But how do they
signe up against other really good teams? I know, but
that's really what I'm wondering. But we talked about, Hey,
Aaron Rodgers, you remember we talked about like what's the goal?
Speaker 2 (51:28):
Oh maybe if he just makes the playoffs. And I
think this team is in.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
I mean, with Burrow out, you might as well just
cancel out the Bengals. The Browns are like I said Cheeks,
and the Ravens have such a road ahead of them
and a really tough schedule, and without Lamar that changes everything.
You're putting the ball and the control of the game
in the hands of Cooper Rush no offense. Aaron Rodgers
is now the king of the AFC North until you
(51:53):
tell me otherwise. And I find it hilarious because no
one cares about him. We're paying attention to him, and
I think, just secretly, that team's gonna be be pretty good. Now,
your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers, it's hard to debate that
there are tops of the AFC North. Shows you injury,
I think they're gonna be that all does to show
you that with injuries and some mix ups and things
(52:15):
here that you never know what's gonna be right, I mean,
your thoughts on that. But we need a winner for
Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom?
Speaker 6 (52:21):
Who do we got, Danny g Let's start in Minnesota

Speaker 12 (52:45):
If at first you don't succeed, idea, I think it
may not be for you.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
No, that's one of these are ones. You missed it,
but Ben Rice didn't.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
Roll.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
It had been cool to have him in the lineup
last night.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
Yankees up two to oh in the first inning because
Ben Rice, you know the guy that you left out
of line up yesterday.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
I just hit a bomb told you he's the guy.
But hey, nice try who do we got next?
Speaker 3 (53:11):

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Ready to do this? Words of wisdom? Take it away.

So thank you guys very much, and thank you congratulations. Yeah, buddies,
our boys, spot here works the videos. High Spot gives

Speaker 10 (54:13):
Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the
week when mid Week Major, I love that. We throw
sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas
and it's like the kids.
Speaker 12 (54:26):
Say, that's summit.
Speaker 2 (54:27):
We definitely see it. Our score mid Week Major.
Speaker 6 (54:33):
I gotta go fast because Spotty said he needs like
fourteen minutes today. He's gonna have to settle for seven though.
All right, we hand things over to the two boys
with the two big red love dice.
Speaker 2 (54:43):
Excuse me, man, boys, I just rolled the three.
Speaker 3 (54:47):
And now it's a Rich roll.
Speaker 8 (54:50):
What was that?
Speaker 6 (54:55):
I went, all right, that means Carinos, Hey, guys gets
first take.
Speaker 2 (54:58):
Yeah, that's a possible.
Speaker 3 (55:01):
All right, And now.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
It's like that rare occurrents where like you actually beat
the dealer in Vegas, right, two craps.
Speaker 3 (55:07):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 6 (55:08):
The most famous man there's a more famous woman, Judy
Bloom Scott Schwains, New Jersey.
Speaker 8 (55:13):
Spotty boy, Yeah, it's not hard to be more famous,
all right, how you guys, doing. Who's going first, me Covino.
Let's see where should we start?
Speaker 1 (55:21):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (55:21):
You love handsome men, so we'll start with Rob Low. Oh,
maybe handsome, but his integrity may be in question. So
Reds fans are seeing red after Low was spotted last
night at last night's Dodgers game as they dominated the
Reds ten to five, seemingly rooting for the Dodgers and
against the Reds. On screen during Tommy Edmund's third inning
(55:43):
home run, Lowe was wearing a twenty twenty four World
Series Champion La hat.
Speaker 3 (55:48):
The only problem is Low.
Speaker 8 (55:49):
Grew up in Ohio, and it's given interviews before where
he has stated that he is a massive Reds fan,
saying that he once even created his own number eight
Joe Morgan shirt and war that thing everywhere. So Low
has been, you know, a Los Angelino for years. He's
been acting for years, regularly attends Dodgers games, and fans
assumed his allegiance slide with the Reds.
Speaker 1 (56:08):
Midweeker major, I think he got so much flakforn a
generic NFL. I thought that he had to make a
choice here, so I can't blame him for that. I
thought he was gonna wear a Rob Manford shirt. Yeah,
it wasn't wear an MLB hat this time. Look, he's
an Ohio guy, but he's so synonymous with Hollywood at
this point here for fans, he's been famous, he's a teenager.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
Basically, it's the Outsiders and probably before that.
Speaker 1 (56:32):
So I don't blame him for saying, Hey, I have
some loyalty to the Reds, but I'm a Dodgers guy.
I've been out here in LA my whole life and career,
so I understand. I'm not mad at it. I think
it's a mid story. I think it's mid because if
you make a big deal about Rob Lowe's alliances, that's
mid of you. But it's a good story spot because
you know, we always talk about allegiance on the show,
(56:54):
very LA of him, and I've had to come to
grips with the fact that it's more in LA than
Rob low You had your chance, I've had more LA
than I've had to come to grips with the fact
that I think my son Ben, who's five, likes the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (57:13):
Yeah he smart, Yeah, he's an LA kid.
Speaker 1 (57:17):
We I bought MLB twenty five the show for his
for his Nintendo switch I was like, you know what,
instead him on his iPad. I'm like, yo, me and
you can play the show together. And he's like, Dan
cap me the Dodgers. I'm like, what you mean the Mets.
He's like, no, the Dodgers. I want to be Mookie
and Freddie and I go, do.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
You meet Lindor and Soda. I want to be a winner.
Speaker 1 (57:34):
So I mean, you know, not Mookie Wilson, Mookie bets All.
So you know, you live somewhere long enough you adapt.
I I'm not going to do that, but I get it.
Rob Low does he really care that much anyway? He's
a Hollywood guy. He's a sports very passionate. He is
a very passionate sport. He's a cool dude. Yeah, he's
he's a he's a you know, a man amongst men.
Speaker 8 (57:55):
Yeah, it really is all right anyway, Sudar Sanders, I
don't know if you saw this floating around getting some
for being a man of no words. So Sanders spoke
with the media today and was asked about the Browns
decision to bench Joe Flacco in favor of fellow rookie
Dylan Gabriel ahead of this Sunday's game. Across the pond
in London.
Speaker 3 (58:13):
This is what he said.
Speaker 2 (58:16):
Exactly.
Speaker 8 (58:17):
He was seen just mouthing the answer on camera but
not saying anything. He was even asked like if he
could vocally express his feelings, and went on to keep
mouthing the words, getting a kick out of himself, laughing
the entire time. Clearly he wanted he thought he should
be stepping in his did rookie not the other guy.
But Gabriel did, however, speak saying that he's excited for
(58:37):
the opportunity, and Flacco said that while he never foresaw
the move, he acknowledged that the team hasn't been performing
very well the first four weeks. Go figure midweeker major,
it's a major story. Everybody loves talking about s Jory Sanders.
Speaker 1 (58:50):
There's been quarterback controversy since day one surrounding him and
this whole team. And what's the old saying, spot you
got a nice cycle? Bells Batman's Oh no, no, if
you got nothing nothing nice to say, trick or treats
fell like. So I think he took that and had
some fun with it. He'd be like, you know, yeah,
I'd rather not say my true feelings Otherwise if he did,
(59:13):
he'd probably get more criticism, so he played it safe.
Speaker 2 (59:15):
I'm okay with it because at least he brought some
some fun to it.
Speaker 1 (59:18):
I just feel dumb because I kept clicking my Instagram, like,
where's the volume right, where's the what's my volume off?
Speaker 3 (59:24):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (59:25):
Oh the sounds video. Oh he's not talking.
Speaker 1 (59:28):
Oh listen, man, it's it's funny. But you can say,
like a rookie movie. These kids are young, right, So,
but why are we surprised Dylan Gabriel was a higher
draft pick than Shoud or Sanders.
Speaker 2 (59:38):
He just comes with the flash.
Speaker 1 (59:39):
I think the funny part is he refused to be
drafted by the Ravens because he didn't want to back
up Lamar Jackson. Had he wet with them and didn't
refuse it, he'd be starting for the next three weeks.
And now he's backing up Gabriel. Yeah, that's that's ironic,
you think for sure. So I would say major just
because there's not much else going on in Cleveland, and
clearly he thinks it be him. He doesn't need to
(01:00:01):
really express that.
Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
All right, I'll go with Lebron.
Speaker 8 (01:00:05):
Lebron getting some backlash, yet again he does it so well,
this time getting called out by fans for appearing on
a live stream with popular streamer Twitch streamer Kai sina
Is Snat right, m Yeah, after Laker's head coach JJ
Reddick held James out of practice due to quote glute
nerve irritation, so as the team said back to practice,
Reddit said that it will be a slower process easing
(01:00:28):
Lebron back into the game due to his twenty two
years of wear and tear on his body. Said they
were playing the long game with Lebron. Lebron, so he
decided to head over to Sinnat's Mafia than three and
appear on his stream where he shaved Sinnat's head. There
were other celebrities moving through like Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carey,
Kim Kardashian, So you know, maybe it would have been
(01:00:50):
a better look if he kind of chilled off camera.
Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
But midweeker major.
Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
You know, most things involving Lebron are major, but this
mid Okay, this feels like it feels like a mid story.
Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
I'm not following. Fine, I'll take it. He's right, it's mid.
Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
I just think the insinuation that after all the years
and hard work and training and conditioning. Lebron James put it,
puts in if you think some training with the Lakers
at this stage, like if he's like, yeah, I'm a
little out of it and then ends up on some
streamers stream like you know at this point were really
questioning Lebron james dedication.
Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
Stop being ridiculous. Oh and by the way, basis load
of noel for the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
But about Doland just bounced to one hopper the first
and is that bellinger that had to come off the bag?
I think it was, Oh wow, look at that bass
juice for the socks. Oh no, that's a major, that's major.
Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
I'm with you. What's it? He has a little belly ache.
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (01:01:50):
He's got a glute nerve irritation.
Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
I wasn't sure if it was an ass issue or
is honestly his answers. You know, you thought gluten and
tolerance gluten. I thought it was a gluten thing, gluten
so tolerance. He's got a butt problem.
Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
He's got a butt problem.
Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
So yeah, he does a little podcast instead whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
Well, hey Manti, you have a gluten intolerance.
Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
I'm good man, Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Quick reminder before we talk fifty cent tomorrow we do
Old School and fifty hits yo, every Thursday. It's already Thursday,
damn starting the weekend early tomorrow early, like mister Furley,
we throw it back and reminisce. So please join us
Manyana Old School in fifty hits every Thursday on the
Cavino and Rich show Getting You Involved eight seven seven
(01:02:43):
ninety nine on Fox. But I was saying, plays some
fifty cent because I have a story. Well, he's infamously
known to rock the microphone and for having arguably one
of the worst pitches first pitches in baseball history.
Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
For your goofy Mets, he threw out the first pitch
at City Field.
Speaker 6 (01:03:01):
And couldn't even really call it a pitch. I mean
other than other than the Siwa, other.
Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Than Mariah Carey and Baba Booie and yeah they you know,
you have your infamous list of if it wasn't there
one gymnast wants to do like a flip and throw
the ball right down into the ground like there are
some legendary awful first pitches, and Fiddy said is synonymous
with it. It's sort of like the joke I'm sure
amongst his boys. But he's such a fit guy. You know,
he's fifty cent. I'm sorry, fifty cent. You expect them
(01:03:31):
to have some sort of athleticism. No, that's what he
gets for being a false advertiser because he's always wearing
a Yankees hat. So there he is in your Metz jersey,
throwing that week ass pitch. You and I've talked about
when is the one time you'd wear another jersey or
hat or something. I said, if a team like I
give the example, if they said, if our affiliate in
Saint Louis said, hey, Cavino and Rich, come throw out
(01:03:52):
the first pitch, I'd thrown a Cardinal's hat, just to
go out there and throw the pitch and be like, hey,
everyone liked the.
Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
I think you would be real gangster if you kept
a Mets hat on.
Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
Yeah. I think I'd wear a Yankees hat and a
Willy McGee jersey. Yeah, but I mean that that just
makes you look like an ungrateful ahole. Why I'm rocking
the McGee. Then then they'd probably be like, no, thanks,
you rather not throw out the first pitch? I think
have you ever seen someone throw out the first pitch?
Speaker 3 (01:04:14):
Compromise?
Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Have you ever seen someone throw out the first pitch
at your stadium and not wear your shirt. That would
be disrespectful. It's like going to someone's house and bring
It's like going to someone an Italian old lady's house
and bringing your own food. All right, Well, I'm not
trying to debate that. What we're trying to say is
it's redemption. He does an appearance with you guessed it,
the Savannah Bananas. He comes out singing in the club
(01:04:38):
and all the Savannah Bananas and dancers are popping bottles
of champagne.
Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
There has to be a pressure goat moment. I would
think here for him. No, I think no pressure.
Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
What's over And I'll tell you why, because everyone's watching
to see if he sucks even worse.
Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
This time. He's with the Bananas. It's light and fun.
He's singing.
Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
It's a party, and I think if he throws out
a bad first pitch, it's funny because it's like another bad.
Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
One, Animal or redemption.
Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
I don't you think he wants to redeem himself And
you know what, he threw a good enough pitch, good
enough kind of like our show.
Speaker 6 (01:05:11):
Yeah, I think the pressure you're talking about Covino would
have been if he was at another MLB.
Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Steak fair Yeah, fair enough, Okay, this is a light
fun moment with the bananas. And you know what, it
was a little outside. It wasn't like a dead on
strike like George W.
Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Bush, but it was. It was good.
Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
He did a movement like the Queen did and naked gun.
Yeah he didn't throw a screwball, but is he left ease?
That what makes it look weird. He's lefty, right, so
he throws it, but he looks like, let's say you're
a righty. Oh wait, wait, Citty Sence pigeon, don't put
Jazz Chisselmore bed Rice.
Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
On the lineup.
Speaker 6 (01:05:45):
It looked way better. It looked like Sandy Kofax like
took him under his wing. Yeah, against it was a
big improvement. He looked proud.
Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
He did give a little fist pump like, yeah, I
got that out of the way.
Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
As you could see on our video again Covino and
rich streaming live on our new YouTube channel, Covino and
Rich FSR.
Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Covino and Rich FSR.
Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Well looks up in a key spot with two on
one out the Yankees and Socks are tied. I don't
I don't care for either of the teams, but you
can't argue that it's like the one of the top
three rivalries in all sports. Yankees Red Sox postseason, it
felt like it died down for a minute and now

hatred and no love loss there, so uh hey, something
