Speaker 2 (00:25):
All right, the World Cup semi final is here. We'll
keep you updated throughout the afternoon. Monzi France in Spain,
the Collision Course hit in Dallas. I'm excited for this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I'm very excited for this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I've told you I've been so into this World Cup
and I don't think I can do it full time
because I stress out and I.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Don't even care who wins will choke. I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We'll tell you who the real winners of this World
Cup will be in about twenty minutes or so. But
there was a winner last night at the home run
derby in Philadelphia. And listen to the crowd, not cheer.
(01:15):
That was courtesy of Netflix. Last night. I was a
glow a crowd. Jason Stewart Iowa. Sammar here That is
what made last night so awesome, Manci Belanios, is the
fact that the Philadelphia fans did what they are known
to do, and that's cheer against the opponent. And so
when Jordan Walker beat their own Kyle Schwarber last night,
(01:36):
there was no reason to celebrate.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
It was really fun to watch and witness it go
down the way it did. I was at the stadium
working late, so I didn't get to watch it live,
and I was kind of keeping track, and so when
I went back to watch it, it was still as
awesome as everybody made it seem.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Everybody was so into it, you know, and I was like, man,
I'm missing now.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
When I went back, I still even though I knew one,
I was like, this is actually pretty awesome. And the
Philly fan base where the big reason. I think it
was a huge success.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It was from the get go, and I don't think
that they're the only ones, but I think they need
to take most of the most of the kudos in
all of this, because I think Manti even started at
the introductions. Now, there was about an hour pregame show
and then things kind of started about eight o'clock Eastern time,
and they had a ring where the players the home
(02:30):
run derby entrance would go into I'm guessing Jason Stewart
Rocky theme again, the the fake boxer that Philadelphia loves
to embrace in Rocky. So they had a ring. So
Ben Rece walks out, for example, and just gets booed Yep,
he's a Yankee. But when Bryce Harper, who was the
last one to be announced, and Kyle Schwarber was also
(02:53):
a part of that as a member of the Phillies,
Bryce Harper walks in, goes to the turnbuckle and stands up,
tries to get the crowd on their feet, and from
that point I felt it was just going to be
a different night. Whether it was timed home runs, whether
it was how many swings, whether it was the Magenta ball,
or whatever the case was. Bryce Harper was someone who
(03:14):
was embracing the moment and the Philadelphia fans seemed to
respond to it. On days like this, and I say
this in our realm, when the All Star Game is
happening and there aren't other events going on, the NBA
offseason is pretty much wrapped up. Sands a couple of
big decisions by the NBA and from Lebron James. There
(03:35):
usually becomes a conversation of what do you do to
fix the Major League Baseball All Star Game? Or what
do you do to fix the home run Derby? And
I think that we found out the biggest solution when
it comes to home run derby. Just get guys from
the hometown team to participate. That's as simple as that,
and then you got the home team on your side.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
There is something exciting about that.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I was lucky enough to go to the home run
Derby when it was here in LA in twenty twenty two,
and Ki, who is not a big hitter, was the
representative for the Dodgers, and it does make it a
little bit better. But I will tell you, Dan, I
wonder if this Philly fan base is actually the exception
to the rule. I don't know, if we go to
(04:16):
another stadium and put someone that is one of the
home one of the home stars, if the reaction is
like the reaction I heard last night on Netflix, Like
I don't know the extreme of what stream of.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
What they were.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
The fandom was in full force, like you said, from
beginning in the introductions to the very end, and it
was almost a scripted fairy tale and almost for Kyle Schwarber,
who's having a great year, has had several great years
as a in Philadelphia. I was gonna say, as a
Philly fanatic, but that's all right, that's their mascot. But
(04:54):
he has had so many great seasons that like, it
is awesome to see it, and it almost seems scripted,
like there's no way even the magenta ball, the first
one to hit the magenta ball, like everything seemed to
be going Kyle Schwarber's way.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You're saying that the fan base of say Kansas City,
if they had, you know, their their own or Detroit
or Milwaukee or whoever Jackson Churio's in Milwaukee, you don't
think the Brewers fan base would turn on the rest
of the competition. So Jackson Churio could win. Only the
(05:29):
Phillies fans are the ones that are able to do it.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I don't know if other fan bases can do it
the way Philadelphia just did it. I'm not saying they're
not booing. It was just very clear that you were
not welcome there. If you were not Bryce Harper, Orkyle Schwarber,
you were not welcome there. It was so clear, and
it made it awesome. It made it awesome. I really
don't know if any if any other stadium can do that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I thought, I thought it's funny when you texted me
last week about the Prices Right, and now the woman
won with twenty cents on the wheel rigged. My wife
is always saying, like, you need to go on this
game show, and she knows how much I love The
Price Is Right, and I'm like, I'm never going to
go on The Prices Right because I don't want to
have my experience ruin the forty five years that I've
(06:17):
watched The Prices Right. I don't want me messing up
on contestants row or me messing up in some sort
of way to ruin what the experience would be. I
get the wrong number. Yeah, now I'm like, oh geez,
I didn't win on one away. You know crazy sound
effects lady. Do I have four numbers right? And I
(06:39):
don't and I changed the wrong ones. I also thought
about this today. You know how there are fan favorites
on the Prices Right. It's usually like an old lady okay,
And I feel like the crowd, as much as they
want to cheer for the other two contestants, are really
cheering for the old lady, and I would hate for
(06:59):
the crowd to be against me if I'm spinning the
big wheel. And I felt that is probably how Jordan
Walker felt last night. It's probably how Wilson Contreras felt
last night. Like Jordan Walker won, so he has the
last laugh. And granted it was his family, about five
(07:20):
or six of them against the whole entire stadium. Like
Wilson Contreras had his brother on the other side, and
it's his brother's on the National League team, so it's
like he's going up against Kyle Swarbert. Wilson Contreras said,
nobody on his side, no one, not a zilch except
his brother, who was with the teammates from the other team.
(07:40):
And I'm like, is that a great I didn't think
that Wilson Contreras loved being there at that seam it. Yeah,
then it was like, here's my All Star opportunity. I've sacrificed.
Now these fans don't want me there. That would be
the flip side of this argument of being like, oh
my goodness, I'm not being loved, which is like going
to the Prices and having the whole crowd share against
(08:02):
me because an eighty year old woman is about to
spin the wheel and beat me to go to the
showcase showdown. Like, I think those are the the even
things where I'm like, I don't want it ruined. Was
Wilson Contreras is not ruined? Was Jordan Walker's not going
to be ruined if he didn't win. I wondered about
those emotions as well.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
But you're right, But I feel like for Contrera's, I mean,
I think Jordan Walker, by the end of it, looked
like he thought it was funny.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
By the end of it, you know he's in it,
He's like, what else am I gonna do? You're getting booed,
like there's nothing you could do.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
He can't hear his four or five family members that
are cheering, he can't hear them at all. But I
think it he must have looked at it like it's
not it's not that necessarily, like it's anybody who's not
in Philadelphia. It's anyone who's not wearing this uniform. It's
not you, Jordan Walker, it's not you Contreras. It's not you, well,
maybe you Ben Rice because you're a Yankee, but everyone
(08:53):
else it's like it's just you're not wearing the right uniform,
and so I feel like you couldn't have taken it personal.
You on the prices right, because the old lady you
could take a personal because as the old ladies just no,
it's you dance standing next with.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Like one thousand.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Fan favorites everywhere?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
There are fan favorites everywhere one.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I look at, there are certain I've been able to
attend a few home run Derbies as well. I was
there the night that Josh Hamilton didn't win a Yankee
Stadium Oh no, and he had like thirty home runs
in the first round and was so tired that Justin
Mornau ended up winning the derby because of the way
that the format was. That was a reason why you
like You also like underwent some changes because Josh Hamilton
(09:34):
was the story that night and all the home runs
that he hit, and at that point, the entire Yankee
Stadium crowd is just rallied behind Texas ranger Josh Hamilton.
But that doesn't happen every single time. You want to
know what the other moment of home run Derby that
I remember, Todd Fraser Cincinnati twenty fifteen. When I look
at Todd Fraser, the entire adjacent Stewart and your baseball historian.
(09:57):
I don't know if you remember that night, but all
of Cincinnati he was behind Todd Fraser, and it became
like the Todd Fraser weekend. And I felt last night
was the closest to that that I had experienced in
an All Star Game. And it tells me if there
are two events that are giving me the same sort
(10:18):
of feels and the same reason is the same reason
is happening on why I'm getting those feels, then that's
something major League Baseball has to check into. It now
should be a responsibility. If you're hosting the home run derby,
you have to have at least a player or two
in the derby. I don't care if Shoeo Tani doesn't
(10:38):
want to ruin his swing and it would come back
to Dodger Stadium, that's fine. Make Mookie Betts and Maximunty
do it again or whoever. But like that is what
we have found as gold because you do have a
fan base. Now they may not boo the opponent, but
they're certainly going to get behind.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
One of their own, right right.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I was so I mixed up my ears there was
no Dodger in the home Runner twenty twenty two. Muki
to Bets did it the next year, okay, and so
I got confused. I was, but I remember at the
time we were upset that there wasn't a Dodger. Corey
Seger did it not as a Dodger, And I feel
like everyone went behind Corey Seger a little bit in
LA because he was the closest thing.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
But it's still it doesn't hit. Like I'm telling you,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Maybe maybe Yankee Stadium with Aaron Judge for a home
run derby, maybe they can get the way we just
saw it happen in philadelph.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I think, I Bed Rice, if this was a Yankee stadium, Ben,
they may not have booed.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
That's what That's what That's what was impressive though.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
It was the constant booing, The booing when you did
hit a home run.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
What have you ever heard that? The booing when you
did hit a home run.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It sounded like your library done. Some of those home
runs that were hit.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I could see people not booing and not cheering, which
is I think more of what would happen if Ben
Rice Yankee Stadium is having a good home run derby.
Maybe there's no cheering for the other players, but there's
no booing the way we heard it last night like
it was, it made it made a great show.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
And I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Not only should you have a person representing your team
at home and a home run derby, but if you
have a a Bryce Harper, who has one in the
past because of his personality, can be there, that's who
you got to get. Also, you know what I'm saying,
like a Keiky Hernandez if we're talking about the Dodgers,
like who's your hype guy, Who's the hype guy for
your fans, for the TV, for the cameras, you gotta
(12:29):
find that.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Like Bryce Harper allowed the moment at the beginning when
he went on the turnbuckle, and it was exciting, it
was great, but ultimately it's Swarber who then ends up
competing and the fans still get behind him. So I
and I'm not saying throw nobody's up there, but like,
if you're All Star caliber at least in that in
that realm and you're hosting, you need that. I well, listen,
(12:51):
we've tried to change formats in different stuff hmm. And
I'm not saying that that another format change needs to
be made, but to figure out a way to a
allow the crowd to get into it in a way
where they have a rooting interest instead of just watching
home run after home run is something that I think
Major League Baseball needs to look into. Jason Stewart, you
took in parts of the home run derby last night, and.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I think that the dynamic that plays out here. Think
about it. What do we hate most about Philly fans
is what we loved most about the event last night.
I think Philly fans are the only ones obnoxious enough
and arrogant enough to not cheer someone else's success and
to boo other people's success. New York has a little
(13:32):
bit of that, but I think the cities that you
named and Todd Frazier, Cincinnati, and you mentioned Kansas City
Midwest nice people. They really want their guy to win,
but they're can also cheer everybody because you know, that's
just kind of a Midwest sentimentality. I think Philadelphia is
a unique venue and that's what made it the best,
and it also I think showed you just how much
(13:55):
brass gumption Jordan Walker has imagine the just the amount
of pressure last night and how calm and collected he was.
That showed me something. And I know that the rule is,
don't tell me about your fantasy team. Nobody cares. I
do want it. I want to tell a little story, Dan,
because you'll appreciate this. I'm the guy that was in
(14:16):
early on Jordan Walker on my fantasy team. I had
him during the early years when he was the prospect
that was supposed to be the big thing, and this
was the one year I didn't grab him. So somebody
else's enjoying the fruits of me taking their guy.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Yes, So I have a personal grudge against Jordan Walker,
so I wasn't necessarily rooting for him, But watching him
last night, you cannot be anything but impressed by the
way he delivered against Schwarber, against that crowd. That was amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It was, and Walker, I think was fueled by the booze.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And then there was a point too that I wondered,
I'm like Kyle Schwarber. They kept on panning over to him,
and you could tell it meant something to yes, and
I felt like Jordan Walker had a tough time looking
Schwarber in the eye because he knew that he just
took away that moment for him. But also as a competitor,
you have to love it to shove it in the
(15:10):
fans of forty thousand and I agree with you what
you're saying, Jason, And it's to the point that Manzi's
saying is there is just that Philly fan base that
these other places can't do it. However, what made half
of last night great was them cheering for Schwarber. And
that's what I think you got in Cincinnati in twenty fifteen,
(15:32):
where I just remember the site and how it just
became Todd Frasier's weekend and how great the home run derby.
I don't remember other home run derbys since then that
happened with those moments, even the ones that I've attended.
I was at the one the next year in San Diego.
I don't even know what happened. I forgot what happened
at that point. It's just the excitement of how the
(15:54):
crowd gets into it. The Midwest, nice sort of thing.
I also think is a part of all the ballparks.
Everybody's there and they want to see home runs. But
if you actually have a rooting interest and you are
rooting for something in that event, it can only make
it better. And that's in a year where Jeff Passen
said beforehand, I think these new rules are going to stink.
(16:15):
I don't know if he said it because he was
on Netflix and not on ESPN, but then he said,
Passon's an idiot when he ended up tweeting it after
the event and how great it was. We can try
all these things, but you need the fans to be involved,
and you know what, you need your star players to
be involved. Bryce Harper really had no reason to compete,
(16:35):
none whatsoever, but he did it because it was Philadelphia
and it was in his own ballpark and the ovation
and what he got in coming out that should be
a message to other players when the All Star Game,
hopefully we have one next season, but even in future years,
like there's you got to get these players out there.
It just can't be like, hey, let's get some of
the young stars out there because none of the Vets
(16:57):
want to do it. It's more of an event and if
you can have those sort of nights, even better.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Okay, so here's here's to wrap it up.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I feel like if we would have had Aaron Judge
yesterday participating and he hits a bomb of a home run.
I feel like the booze would have gone higher in Philadelphia.
Right if we're in La, if we're at Dodger Stadium
home run derby and it is Max Munsey, or let's
just say show Heyo TONI, show Heyo Tani and Aaron Judge,
(17:28):
and Aaron Judge hits a bomb of a home run,
there would be people clapping. There will not be the
booze because especially I think coming to an All Star game,
you want to see all the stars, Like, yes, obviously
you may have a rooting interest, but the cool thing
about this is you could see all these stars and
I don't see any other stadium going extra hard or
show Heyo Tani hitting a home run in Philadelphia.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
The booze would have gone harder.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I feel like you put show Heyo Tani and Aaron
Judge in other stadiums, away stadiums on you know, enemy territory,
and they hit a home run, people will stand up
and do a slow clop for them.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
They will not overcheer. But Philadelphia is like, I'm gonna
boot harder.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yes, I agree with that. What's more realistic though Aaron
Judge competing in a home run derby again, or maybe
having someone of like a hometown team being able to compete.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I was just using them as as an example. But
you're right, he's not.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I just feel like everywhere else you would see the
baseball just the baseball fan appreciate a great do something.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I think so. I also think that it shows the responsibility,
though of players who are and aren't competing. Not Judge
obviously injured.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
But but he's already won.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
He did it, Yes, he did it in one check
he has he has done it. But Bryce Harper being
able to do it next year it's at Wrigley Field
in Chicago. If there is an All Star Game next season, yeah,
maybe some peak Crow.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Armstrong, it's got to be him.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
That's a perfect example. D That's a great example. Sorry
to cut you off, but that I think that the
Cubs fans are going to come out and they want
their arm And he's a bit of a personality and
he's an obnoxious kind of kid that you can get behind.
But I think that the Wrigley Field fans are not
going to turn on Crow Armstrong's opponent, right, like Philly
fans would, but they're going to cheer the hell out
(19:14):
of Crow Armstrong. That's a great example.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, and I'm not saying that they would either, But
what I'm saying is, if you don't have anybody from
the hometown team, no one's gonna care for sure. And
so in twenty fifteen when it was Todd Frasier in Cincinnati,
it was magnificent because how they all rallied around him.
The Philly fans last night were great for two reasons.
They were great. Number one because they were cheering so
(19:37):
hard for Schwarber, and number two, they were cheering so
hard for him that they rooted against his opponent. And
so what you guys said at the beginning, yeah, there's
other markets aren't going to do that. However, other markets
can easily all twenty nine. Other teams can easily cheer
for their own players. And so when you have the
(19:58):
responsibility of hosting an All Star Game, I would hope
the cities and the teams that have and in the
future and their star players take the responsibility on like
Kyle Schwarbur and Bryce Harper did last night, because that's
the real recipe to success. Just ask the Dunk Contest, right, yes, right,
I mean it's the Dunk Contest is a one hundred
times source. We have players that aren't even in the
league that we need to compete in the Dunk Contest
(20:20):
to make it interesting and to get a fan base
behind like they did last night. It's truly unique.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
It was a lot of things that just went perfectly
last night for this for how fun it was to watch.
I will say I think I missed a timer. I
felt like there was no sense of urgency. But I
don't know if that was just me because I watched
it after the fact, but I thought there was no
sense of urgency from these guys. Well, yeah, you have
an amount of swings, not a timer, and I kind
(20:50):
of missed the timer.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I didn't even care now, just yeah, as long as
the brewing and stuff happen, because I think we can
always tweak. Like, I don't care how they win. The
night's long anyway. You when you end up attending those events,
it's neat to see the home runs at first, But
uh yeah, I think you can do all the things
that you need to do, but if you can get
the fans involved, that's all you need.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Todd Fraser's Night was so good in twenty fifteen, they
actually made a sitcom about him. It was on NBC.
It was called Fraser. It was quite the night. It
was so powerful. Welcome in. It is Stu Gotson Company Live.
Just kidding mots. I think Fraser probably ended its run
before Todd go to say and it was spelled differently, and.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Didn't they But didn't they bring back Fraser for a second?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
I think so, Jason Stewart, they did, right, Yeah, they
rebooted it.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That's Fraser, the spinoff from Cheers. Yes, obviously she's Watzy Belanos.
I'm Dan Beyer. But a lot was happening in the
break and we're going to get to Isaac Lohenkron in
a second. But Monceiy and I were reliving Todd Fraser's
a Night in Cincinnati in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Finally, Dan and Monsey back to the World Cup and
a new scandal concerning Senegal's since eliminated World Cup team.
The president of Senegal's soccer federation revealed that the national
team's team doctor for the last decade does not have
any appropriate education or training in sports medicine and is
(22:28):
actually a gynecologist. President of the federation said, quote, our
head doctor does not have the academic profile to accompany
our athletes. That is something I discovered too late. Unquote
back to.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You, guys, I thought it was odd when they listened
to as doctor Pepper. You know on there that it
wasn't necessarily a real doctor in that case.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
At this point though, he knows how to do the job.
At this point, why are you going to fire him?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Do you know that the doctor and doctor Pepper does
not have a period after it?
Speaker 5 (23:01):
The doctor and doctor does not happened.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You know what, Let's go, Let's go get some cans
of doctor Pepper down the hall.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
I'll take a look at the Doctor Pepper. I liked it.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I like medicine.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
To me, I think it's delicious.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, right, maybe I had too much of that.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Charry Doctor Pepper fan Jason Stewart, Oh, I love doctor Pepper.
But do you know there's a common alliteration. You know
that alliteration in Senegal Doctor Pepper's Pashmere. Did you get
one of the Doctor Peppers?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Sam? Do you like Doctor Pepper?
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Yeah, it's an occasional alternative for me. I do, I
do like it.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Thank you for answering. I just needed something to separate
that from what we're about to talk about. I just
I appreciate, I appreciate a little.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
There.
Speaker 2 (23:53):

know what you think. Again, just search Stu Gott's Live

Stu got seven to ninety on YouTube for videos from
our original podcast, I'm Surprising did and catch on sooner?
Every time he ran on the pitch, he brought stirrups.
You know, it was just like those those yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like really odd. It's like, it's my arm, it's
my arm.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Who do you.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Think the uh? Who do you think the real winner
of the World Cup is going to be after this
match is done here tomorrow. Do you think that in
the United States we're gonna find a rebirth of soccer?
Do you think that we're gonna have a love for
soccer that we hadn't had prior to this World Cup?
I'm guessing no. By by the silence, Well, I just don't.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I think it's gonna be that big of a of
an interest that we're gonna notice it right away.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
But I do think that there are people that we.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
May follow now individually and see what they do beyond
the World Cup.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Like I think I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I think Early and Holland We're probably all gonna follow him.
And when I say oh, I mean me and Iowa
was him.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I was Sam.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
He has thirteen million Twitter followers he started with I
think like fifty and he's been on Twitter since like
twenty twelve or twenty thirteen, since he was a young teenager.
And he's got like an entire country's worth of observers. Now, yeah,
and I'm one of them.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I feel like, in fact, I think Norway are huge
winners in all of this. They had like a like
a parade for them, and they didn't do they just
they just were so grateful for their team. Like I
think there's a lot of winners. But I do think
that there is a there will be an increase in
soccer interests.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
In the US.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I just don't think it's going to be a huge,
huge interest that we immediately see the change once this
is over.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
In a weird way, I wonder if it's going to
be the opposite, because your pause made me think that
you were going to say I don't think much is
going to change, which I agree with. I also wonder
are we smart enough now to realize and recognize what
the MLS is.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
We have Messi in the MLS, and that would be
enough for anybody to want to watch, to want to
watch his matches. But again, when we're talking about the
names of this World Cup, of Embappe, of Holland, of
Harry Kane, of Jude Bellingham, none of those players are
playing in the United States. So in a way, as
(26:46):
a sports fan, and I think that sports fans in
the United States are pretty intelligent, are saying there may
be an uptick in how you follow European club soccer,
But it actually may be a negative to a American
soccer if we can't get some of these names here
to watch on a daily basis. Like that's and I
(27:06):
think that that. I think more people will be turned
onto the Premier League, you know, or other leagues and
will want to watch those matches. But for the MLS,
I almost think it could be something to turn away
unless we start to get those levels of players, which
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Is going to happen, you know, I don't think it's
doing anything for MLS.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
What I am hoping is that there will be some
of these European players that maybe want to come to
the MLS before they reach a certain age.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Because Messi's here because he's done at all. He's not
here because he cares about MLS. He just wants to
be in Miami.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
He's like, I've done it all, I might as well
go play soccer in Miami and like live it, you
know there.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
So I feel hopefully, hopefully this by having the World
Cup here, I feel like a lot of players, I
think even Holland came out and was like the US
was great, Like it's just all these players are enjoyed
their time here. So I'm hoping that they come to
the MLS sooner.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Rather than later.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Maybe we can get one off games with the European
club to come play an MLS game in an exhibition game.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Keep that alive, because I.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Agree with you, I don't think it's MLS that is
winning in any way.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, I don't see how anybody is like I'm watching because, honestly,
as I'm watching Spain in France, and as much as
we loved watching USA play, this at times looks like
a different sport than some of the matches the Americans played.
I mean, am I like when you watch how Spain
in France control the ball or what has happened in
(28:39):
these quarterfinals, it's completely different than us watching the Americans.
Isaac Glow and Gronz.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
There is an existential problem that I don't see Major
League Soccer overcoming anytime soon. It's really not going to
be one of the top five leagues in the world.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
For the seeable future.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
You have the Premier League Siria A and Italy La
Liga in Spain, League One in France, the Bundesliga in Germany.
And another problem, honestly is dilution. Major League Soccer has
thirty teams. All those other leagues, the top leagues in
the world I just mentioned, have only twenty teams, So
there's more dilution of talent to begin with in Major
(29:22):
League Soccer than those other leagues, which already have an advantage.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
We also have promotion and relegation like in the Premier League,
which also makes the season a bit more interesting and
forces you to compete. Yeah, there's a lot at stake here.
I just think when we walk away from this that
not only do I think it's not going to change
anything in how we watch professional soccer now, whether it
be an increase in the youth that watched this and
(29:49):
became an early Holland fan or a Jude Bellingham fan.
And I'm naming those players because those are the players
then that the young players will follow throughout their career.
Bellingham's twenty three years, You're like, okay, good, I can
watch him for the next decade or so play at
the top of his game. That's somebody I'm going to follow.
There may be an impact there, but by no means
(30:09):
is it going to change anything. And I actually think
it's a negative for the MLS for how good this
has been because what we are watching and what we
are enjoying just isn't the same.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That's a really good point, Dan, You're right. It's a
really bad look for the MLS. This is probably not
a good thing for it. I didn't even look at
it like that, but you you are right, and watching
these games, it's easier to see the game within the
game with these really good teams because sometimes you're right.
When USA was out there, it seemed like they didn't
know what they were doing, Like I didn't know how
to follow their game plan. With here, it's like, oh,
(30:41):
I see the game within the game I said we
were trying to do.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I'm telling you you're gonna love the Euros in twenty
twenty eight like that. Now there's no MESSI because Argentina's
not in it. But like the names that you that
people fell in love with this year, a lot of
them are going to be playing in those championships and
in twenty twenty eight, it'll be that will be that
will be exciting to watch. She's Monty Blagos, I'm Dan
(31:07):
byer One WNBA rookie has been very exciting to watch
this season, and she did something last night that no
one has done before, or at least in this timeframe.
She did it. Who was that rookie and what did
she do? We'll tell you next year. It's Stugatzi Company Live.

Sam is here, Jason Stewart in Isaac lohingcron. Let's be real, Isaac.
Isaac's at the news desk keeping us up today of
what's happening in the world. Up until the Spain leads
(32:01):
France one nil, as they are currently in stoppage time
at the end of the first half. I'll tell you
what the uniforms of this match, The kits magnificent. You
like them, just magnificent. Not only that, like France's their
whole entire uniform is their flag it's magnificent. Blue top,
(32:25):
white shorts, red sox looks great. Spain colors of their
flag as well. I love it. White top maroon shorts
looks great, a great look. And they even watered the
field during the hydration break, so Spain and France got
their drinks of water and so did the pitch. It
was a very sad scene that the Foxboro Stadium where
(32:49):
the Patriots play, Jillette Stadium, they've already ripped out the
grass well you know, and now they got to put
the artificial turf. One would you just play like two
NFL games on there and then when it's done and
just be like, all right, we're gonna put the regular
turf down.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
They can't do that.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
They can't imagine they play one or two games and
they are like, look how much better it is.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
They can't.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I think it would also reveal though on how like
this soccer surface would not stand up to the riggers
of the NFL, and I think that's something else that
needs to be pointed out of why they can't do it.
But it was just sad to see them ripping out
all of that sod Iowa Sam.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
And the weathering of the seasons. I mean, George Kittle
came out and said, well, look, we can have grass fields,
but this is the middle of the summer where grass
grows plentiful, and in December in certain places and you
just can't grow grass and it's just not gonna hold up.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's difficult. Lambeoufield has gone to a lot of great
lengths to try to obviously, in December, what a zero
degree is.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
The most impossible?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yes, yes, you're still playing on basically an ice rink.
Olivia Miles is skating through her rookie season with ease
in the WNBA, and last night, the Minnesota Link Star
win against the Mercury reached a milestone that no player
has reached in the fewest in the shortest amount of times.
(34:09):
In twenty two games in her WNBA career, Olivia Miles
has scored four hundred points, recorded one hundred assists, and
I'm asked one hundred rebounds. No one had done it
in that quickly of a fashion. And last night in
their win over the Mercury, Olivia Miles had thirty three
points in the victory, getting rave reviews not only from
(34:31):
her head coach, who says she deserves all of her flowers.
She's going to start the All Star Game. Even Dewana
Bonner of the Phoenix Mercury said that she's having a
great season, that she's got a great IQ. Everybody is
falling in love with what Olivia Miles is doing for
the Minnesota Lynx and Manzi, this relates to you and
I because I felt that we were the ones who
(34:53):
kind of started the conversation that ultimately, ultimately, when it
came down to it in the WNBA Draft, the dab
Llus Wings decided that asy Fudd was going to be
their pick. And I think that the ultimate decision was
because of her relationship with Paige Beckers. To make your
star player even more happy. And it isn't that Azy
Fudd is having an awful rookie season. It started out slow,
(35:17):
and there's been nice where she's had twenty points. I
think she's got at least five games where she's had
twenty points or more. Olivia Miles is becoming the Kevin
Durant of the two thousand and seven draft. No matter
what happened with Greg Godin, who had the injuries and everything,
Greg Golden was still kind of a no brainer pick
to be the number one overall pick just had injuries,
and his injuries ended up failing his body in Durant.
(35:39):
The number two pick ends up being the star of
that draft. And I think that's what we're going to
get here with Olivia Miles is we're going to look
back at this draft and be like, Wow, Olivia Miles
went number two in that twenty twenty six draft. Can
you believe it?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (35:52):
In this season, it's very obvious to see the difference
in who has been the more impactful player immediately what
Olivia Miles is doing. Watching her play, it's been it's
been a lot of fun. I haven't watched a lot
of Lynks games, but when I do watch it, them
like this girl stands out and I don't know if
it's been just in a perfect opportunity. I said it
to you before the show. How did Minnesota have the
(36:13):
second overall pick? That I just realized that. I was like,
wait a second, weren't they They finished the regular season
last year in first place, there was some moves that
were made with other teams, and they had the second
overall pick, and so she joins a team that's already
really good.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
So all of that I have.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
To take into consideration as to why she's having so
much success.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
I can't you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
We see typically rookies enter a bad situation when they're
high draft picks. That is not what is happening here.
And so she is thriving and she definitely looks way.
She doesn't look like a rookie when I see her
out there, and.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I remember when and Sam, not to put you on
the spot, but your point, like to support Easy Fudd,
was that Easy Fudd was a top prospect. Some may
have had her number one on the board. I think
a lot of people. Other people had Olivia Miles as
number one. We talked about would you take Laura and
bats if he needed a center at that point that
was all part of the discussion. But there were people
who said Olivia Miles is the best player in this draft,
(37:09):
and the Wings didn't pick her and they chose they
chose Asy Fudd. And unfortunately for Fudd, she's not going
to be having to be compared, yes, be compared to
Olivia Miles, but it just goes to prove the point
that we had that for as good as a player
that Easy Fudd is, Olivia Miles is setting records that
we haven't seen before, scoring thirty three points in a
(37:31):
game last night, or a team minute thirty seven. She
also had eight assists in that game, and that's what
the Wings bypassed to make sure that Paige Becker's was happy.
And that was the whole point of it. That the
ultimate decision came down to, likely the relationship than anything
that I had to do with on court and basketball.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
And we'll see what Asy Fudd can do. It's only
a year one, but Olivia Miles is awesome.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
There's a long career, but so far, so good for
Olivia Miles. What about Mike Trout in his future? We'll
talk about it next on Fox Sports Radio.

All right, the World Cup semi final is here. We'll
keep you updated throughout the afternoon. Monzi France in Spain,
the Collision Course hit in Dallas. I'm excited for this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I'm very excited for this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I've told you I've been so into this World Cup
and I don't think I can do it full time
because I stress out and I.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Don't even care who wins will choke. I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We'll tell you who the real winners of this World
Cup will be in about twenty minutes or so. But
there was a winner last night at the home run
derby in Philadelphia. And listen to the crowd, not cheer.
(01:15):
That was courtesy of Netflix. Last night. I was a
glow a crowd. Jason Stewart Iowa. Sammar here That is
what made last night so awesome, Manci Belanios, is the
fact that the Philadelphia fans did what they are known
to do, and that's cheer against the opponent. And so
when Jordan Walker beat their own Kyle Schwarber last night,
(01:36):
there was no reason to celebrate.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
It was really fun to watch and witness it go
down the way it did. I was at the stadium
working late, so I didn't get to watch it live,
and I was kind of keeping track, and so when
I went back to watch it, it was still as
awesome as everybody made it seem.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Everybody was so into it, you know, and I was like, man,
I'm missing now.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
When I went back, I still even though I knew one,
I was like, this is actually pretty awesome. And the
Philly fan base where the big reason. I think it
was a huge success.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It was from the get go, and I don't think
that they're the only ones, but I think they need
to take most of the most of the kudos in
all of this, because I think Manti even started at
the introductions. Now, there was about an hour pregame show
and then things kind of started about eight o'clock Eastern time,
and they had a ring where the players the home
(02:30):
run derby entrance would go into I'm guessing Jason Stewart
Rocky theme again, the the fake boxer that Philadelphia loves
to embrace in Rocky. So they had a ring. So
Ben Rece walks out, for example, and just gets booed Yep,
he's a Yankee. But when Bryce Harper, who was the
last one to be announced, and Kyle Schwarber was also
(02:53):
a part of that as a member of the Phillies,
Bryce Harper walks in, goes to the turnbuckle and stands up,
tries to get the crowd on their feet, and from
that point I felt it was just going to be
a different night. Whether it was timed home runs, whether
it was how many swings, whether it was the Magenta ball,
or whatever the case was. Bryce Harper was someone who
(03:14):
was embracing the moment and the Philadelphia fans seemed to
respond to it. On days like this, and I say
this in our realm, when the All Star Game is
happening and there aren't other events going on, the NBA
offseason is pretty much wrapped up. Sands a couple of
big decisions by the NBA and from Lebron James. There
(03:35):
usually becomes a conversation of what do you do to
fix the Major League Baseball All Star Game? Or what
do you do to fix the home run Derby? And
I think that we found out the biggest solution when
it comes to home run derby. Just get guys from
the hometown team to participate. That's as simple as that,
and then you got the home team on your side.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
There is something exciting about that.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I was lucky enough to go to the home run
Derby when it was here in LA in twenty twenty two,
and Ki, who is not a big hitter, was the
representative for the Dodgers, and it does make it a
little bit better. But I will tell you, Dan, I
wonder if this Philly fan base is actually the exception
to the rule. I don't know, if we go to
(04:16):
another stadium and put someone that is one of the
home one of the home stars, if the reaction is
like the reaction I heard last night on Netflix, Like
I don't know the extreme of what stream of.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
What they were.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
The fandom was in full force, like you said, from
beginning in the introductions to the very end, and it
was almost a scripted fairy tale and almost for Kyle Schwarber,
who's having a great year, has had several great years
as a in Philadelphia. I was gonna say, as a
Philly fanatic, but that's all right, that's their mascot. But
(04:54):
he has had so many great seasons that like, it
is awesome to see it, and it almost seems scripted,
like there's no way even the magenta ball, the first
one to hit the magenta ball, like everything seemed to
be going Kyle Schwarber's way.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You're saying that the fan base of say Kansas City,
if they had, you know, their their own or Detroit
or Milwaukee or whoever Jackson Churio's in Milwaukee, you don't
think the Brewers fan base would turn on the rest
of the competition. So Jackson Churio could win. Only the
(05:29):
Phillies fans are the ones that are able to do it.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I don't know if other fan bases can do it
the way Philadelphia just did it. I'm not saying they're
not booing. It was just very clear that you were
not welcome there. If you were not Bryce Harper, Orkyle Schwarber,
you were not welcome there. It was so clear, and
it made it awesome. It made it awesome. I really
don't know if any if any other stadium can do that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I thought, I thought it's funny when you texted me
last week about the Prices Right, and now the woman
won with twenty cents on the wheel rigged. My wife
is always saying, like, you need to go on this
game show, and she knows how much I love The
Price Is Right, and I'm like, I'm never going to
go on The Prices Right because I don't want to
have my experience ruin the forty five years that I've
(06:17):
watched The Prices Right. I don't want me messing up
on contestants row or me messing up in some sort
of way to ruin what the experience would be. I
get the wrong number. Yeah, now I'm like, oh geez,
I didn't win on one away. You know crazy sound
effects lady. Do I have four numbers right? And I
(06:39):
don't and I changed the wrong ones. I also thought
about this today. You know how there are fan favorites
on the Prices Right. It's usually like an old lady okay,
And I feel like the crowd, as much as they
want to cheer for the other two contestants, are really
cheering for the old lady, and I would hate for
(06:59):
the crowd to be against me if I'm spinning the
big wheel. And I felt that is probably how Jordan
Walker felt last night. It's probably how Wilson Contreras felt
last night. Like Jordan Walker won, so he has the
last laugh. And granted it was his family, about five
(07:20):
or six of them against the whole entire stadium. Like
Wilson Contreras had his brother on the other side, and
it's his brother's on the National League team, so it's
like he's going up against Kyle Swarbert. Wilson Contreras said,
nobody on his side, no one, not a zilch except
his brother, who was with the teammates from the other team.
(07:40):
And I'm like, is that a great I didn't think
that Wilson Contreras loved being there at that seam it. Yeah,
then it was like, here's my All Star opportunity. I've sacrificed.
Now these fans don't want me there. That would be
the flip side of this argument of being like, oh
my goodness, I'm not being loved, which is like going
to the Prices and having the whole crowd share against
(08:02):
me because an eighty year old woman is about to
spin the wheel and beat me to go to the
showcase showdown. Like, I think those are the the even
things where I'm like, I don't want it ruined. Was
Wilson Contreras is not ruined? Was Jordan Walker's not going
to be ruined if he didn't win. I wondered about
those emotions as well.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
But you're right, But I feel like for Contrera's, I mean,
I think Jordan Walker, by the end of it, looked
like he thought it was funny.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
By the end of it, you know he's in it,
He's like, what else am I gonna do? You're getting booed,
like there's nothing you could do.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
He can't hear his four or five family members that
are cheering, he can't hear them at all. But I
think it he must have looked at it like it's
not it's not that necessarily, like it's anybody who's not
in Philadelphia. It's anyone who's not wearing this uniform. It's
not you, Jordan Walker, it's not you Contreras. It's not you, well,
maybe you Ben Rice because you're a Yankee, but everyone
(08:53):
else it's like it's just you're not wearing the right uniform,
and so I feel like you couldn't have taken it personal.
You on the prices right, because the old lady you
could take a personal because as the old ladies just no,
it's you dance standing next with.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Like one thousand.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Fan favorites everywhere?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
There are fan favorites everywhere one.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I look at, there are certain I've been able to
attend a few home run Derbies as well. I was
there the night that Josh Hamilton didn't win a Yankee
Stadium Oh no, and he had like thirty home runs
in the first round and was so tired that Justin
Mornau ended up winning the derby because of the way
that the format was. That was a reason why you
like You also like underwent some changes because Josh Hamilton
(09:34):
was the story that night and all the home runs
that he hit, and at that point, the entire Yankee
Stadium crowd is just rallied behind Texas ranger Josh Hamilton.
But that doesn't happen every single time. You want to
know what the other moment of home run Derby that
I remember, Todd Fraser Cincinnati twenty fifteen. When I look
at Todd Fraser, the entire adjacent Stewart and your baseball historian.
(09:57):
I don't know if you remember that night, but all
of Cincinnati he was behind Todd Fraser, and it became
like the Todd Fraser weekend. And I felt last night
was the closest to that that I had experienced in
an All Star Game. And it tells me if there
are two events that are giving me the same sort
(10:18):
of feels and the same reason is the same reason
is happening on why I'm getting those feels, then that's
something major League Baseball has to check into. It now
should be a responsibility. If you're hosting the home run derby,
you have to have at least a player or two
in the derby. I don't care if Shoeo Tani doesn't
(10:38):
want to ruin his swing and it would come back
to Dodger Stadium, that's fine. Make Mookie Betts and Maximunty
do it again or whoever. But like that is what
we have found as gold because you do have a
fan base. Now they may not boo the opponent, but
they're certainly going to get behind.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
One of their own, right right.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I was so I mixed up my ears there was
no Dodger in the home Runner twenty twenty two. Muki
to Bets did it the next year, okay, and so
I got confused. I was, but I remember at the
time we were upset that there wasn't a Dodger. Corey
Seger did it not as a Dodger, And I feel
like everyone went behind Corey Seger a little bit in
LA because he was the closest thing.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
But it's still it doesn't hit. Like I'm telling you,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Maybe maybe Yankee Stadium with Aaron Judge for a home
run derby, maybe they can get the way we just
saw it happen in philadelph.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I think, I Bed Rice, if this was a Yankee stadium, Ben,
they may not have booed.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
That's what That's what That's what was impressive though.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
It was the constant booing, The booing when you did
hit a home run.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
What have you ever heard that? The booing when you
did hit a home run.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It sounded like your library done. Some of those home
runs that were hit.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I could see people not booing and not cheering, which
is I think more of what would happen if Ben
Rice Yankee Stadium is having a good home run derby.
Maybe there's no cheering for the other players, but there's
no booing the way we heard it last night like
it was, it made it made a great show.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
And I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Not only should you have a person representing your team
at home and a home run derby, but if you
have a a Bryce Harper, who has one in the
past because of his personality, can be there, that's who
you got to get. Also, you know what I'm saying,
like a Keiky Hernandez if we're talking about the Dodgers,
like who's your hype guy, Who's the hype guy for
your fans, for the TV, for the cameras, you gotta
(12:29):
find that.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Like Bryce Harper allowed the moment at the beginning when
he went on the turnbuckle, and it was exciting, it
was great, but ultimately it's Swarber who then ends up
competing and the fans still get behind him. So I
and I'm not saying throw nobody's up there, but like,
if you're All Star caliber at least in that in
that realm and you're hosting, you need that. I well, listen,
(12:51):
we've tried to change formats in different stuff hmm. And
I'm not saying that that another format change needs to
be made, but to figure out a way to a
allow the crowd to get into it in a way
where they have a rooting interest instead of just watching
home run after home run is something that I think
Major League Baseball needs to look into. Jason Stewart, you
took in parts of the home run derby last night, and.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I think that the dynamic that plays out here. Think
about it. What do we hate most about Philly fans
is what we loved most about the event last night.
I think Philly fans are the only ones obnoxious enough
and arrogant enough to not cheer someone else's success and
to boo other people's success. New York has a little
(13:32):
bit of that, but I think the cities that you
named and Todd Frazier, Cincinnati, and you mentioned Kansas City
Midwest nice people. They really want their guy to win,
but they're can also cheer everybody because you know, that's
just kind of a Midwest sentimentality. I think Philadelphia is
a unique venue and that's what made it the best,
and it also I think showed you just how much
(13:55):
brass gumption Jordan Walker has imagine the just the amount
of pressure last night and how calm and collected he was.
That showed me something. And I know that the rule is,
don't tell me about your fantasy team. Nobody cares. I
do want it. I want to tell a little story, Dan,
because you'll appreciate this. I'm the guy that was in
(14:16):
early on Jordan Walker on my fantasy team. I had
him during the early years when he was the prospect
that was supposed to be the big thing, and this
was the one year I didn't grab him. So somebody
else's enjoying the fruits of me taking their guy.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Yes, So I have a personal grudge against Jordan Walker,
so I wasn't necessarily rooting for him, But watching him
last night, you cannot be anything but impressed by the
way he delivered against Schwarber, against that crowd. That was amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It was, and Walker, I think was fueled by the booze.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And then there was a point too that I wondered,
I'm like Kyle Schwarber. They kept on panning over to him,
and you could tell it meant something to yes, and
I felt like Jordan Walker had a tough time looking
Schwarber in the eye because he knew that he just
took away that moment for him. But also as a competitor,
you have to love it to shove it in the
(15:10):
fans of forty thousand and I agree with you what
you're saying, Jason, And it's to the point that Manzi's
saying is there is just that Philly fan base that
these other places can't do it. However, what made half
of last night great was them cheering for Schwarber. And
that's what I think you got in Cincinnati in twenty fifteen,
(15:32):
where I just remember the site and how it just
became Todd Frasier's weekend and how great the home run derby.
I don't remember other home run derbys since then that
happened with those moments, even the ones that I've attended.
I was at the one the next year in San Diego.
I don't even know what happened. I forgot what happened
at that point. It's just the excitement of how the
(15:54):
crowd gets into it. The Midwest, nice sort of thing.
I also think is a part of all the ballparks.
Everybody's there and they want to see home runs. But
if you actually have a rooting interest and you are
rooting for something in that event, it can only make
it better. And that's in a year where Jeff Passen
said beforehand, I think these new rules are going to stink.
(16:15):
I don't know if he said it because he was
on Netflix and not on ESPN, but then he said,
Passon's an idiot when he ended up tweeting it after
the event and how great it was. We can try
all these things, but you need the fans to be involved,
and you know what, you need your star players to
be involved. Bryce Harper really had no reason to compete,
(16:35):
none whatsoever, but he did it because it was Philadelphia
and it was in his own ballpark and the ovation
and what he got in coming out that should be
a message to other players when the All Star Game,
hopefully we have one next season, but even in future years,
like there's you got to get these players out there.
It just can't be like, hey, let's get some of
the young stars out there because none of the Vets
(16:57):
want to do it. It's more of an event and if
you can have those sort of nights, even better.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Okay, so here's here's to wrap it up.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I feel like if we would have had Aaron Judge
yesterday participating and he hits a bomb of a home run.
I feel like the booze would have gone higher in Philadelphia.
Right if we're in La, if we're at Dodger Stadium
home run derby and it is Max Munsey, or let's
just say show Heyo TONI, show Heyo Tani and Aaron Judge,
(17:28):
and Aaron Judge hits a bomb of a home run,
there would be people clapping. There will not be the
booze because especially I think coming to an All Star game,
you want to see all the stars, Like, yes, obviously
you may have a rooting interest, but the cool thing
about this is you could see all these stars and
I don't see any other stadium going extra hard or
show Heyo Tani hitting a home run in Philadelphia.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
The booze would have gone harder.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I feel like you put show Heyo Tani and Aaron
Judge in other stadiums, away stadiums on you know, enemy territory,
and they hit a home run, people will stand up
and do a slow clop for them.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
They will not overcheer. But Philadelphia is like, I'm gonna
boot harder.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yes, I agree with that. What's more realistic though Aaron
Judge competing in a home run derby again, or maybe
having someone of like a hometown team being able to compete.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I was just using them as as an example. But
you're right, he's not.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I just feel like everywhere else you would see the
baseball just the baseball fan appreciate a great do something.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I think so. I also think that it shows the responsibility,
though of players who are and aren't competing. Not Judge
obviously injured.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
But but he's already won.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
He did it, Yes, he did it in one check
he has he has done it. But Bryce Harper being
able to do it next year it's at Wrigley Field
in Chicago. If there is an All Star Game next season, yeah,
maybe some peak Crow.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Armstrong, it's got to be him.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
That's a perfect example. D That's a great example. Sorry
to cut you off, but that I think that the
Cubs fans are going to come out and they want
their arm And he's a bit of a personality and
he's an obnoxious kind of kid that you can get behind.
But I think that the Wrigley Field fans are not
going to turn on Crow Armstrong's opponent, right, like Philly
fans would, but they're going to cheer the hell out
(19:14):
of Crow Armstrong. That's a great example.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, and I'm not saying that they would either, But
what I'm saying is, if you don't have anybody from
the hometown team, no one's gonna care for sure. And
so in twenty fifteen when it was Todd Frasier in Cincinnati,
it was magnificent because how they all rallied around him.
The Philly fans last night were great for two reasons.
They were great. Number one because they were cheering so
(19:37):
hard for Schwarber, and number two, they were cheering so
hard for him that they rooted against his opponent. And
so what you guys said at the beginning, yeah, there's
other markets aren't going to do that. However, other markets
can easily all twenty nine. Other teams can easily cheer
for their own players. And so when you have the
(19:58):
responsibility of hosting an All Star Game, I would hope
the cities and the teams that have and in the
future and their star players take the responsibility on like
Kyle Schwarbur and Bryce Harper did last night, because that's
the real recipe to success. Just ask the Dunk Contest, right, yes, right,
I mean it's the Dunk Contest is a one hundred
times source. We have players that aren't even in the
league that we need to compete in the Dunk Contest
(20:20):
to make it interesting and to get a fan base
behind like they did last night. It's truly unique.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
It was a lot of things that just went perfectly
last night for this for how fun it was to watch.
I will say I think I missed a timer. I
felt like there was no sense of urgency. But I
don't know if that was just me because I watched
it after the fact, but I thought there was no
sense of urgency from these guys. Well, yeah, you have
an amount of swings, not a timer, and I kind
(20:50):
of missed the timer.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I didn't even care now, just yeah, as long as
the brewing and stuff happen, because I think we can
always tweak. Like, I don't care how they win. The
night's long anyway. You when you end up attending those events,
it's neat to see the home runs at first, But
uh yeah, I think you can do all the things
that you need to do, but if you can get
the fans involved, that's all you need.

Todd Fraser's Night was so good in twenty fifteen, they
actually made a sitcom about him. It was on NBC.
It was called Fraser. It was quite the night. It
was so powerful. Welcome in. It is Stu Gotson Company Live.
Just kidding mots. I think Fraser probably ended its run
before Todd go to say and it was spelled differently, and.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Didn't they But didn't they bring back Fraser for a second?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
I think so, Jason Stewart, they did, right, Yeah, they
rebooted it.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That's Fraser, the spinoff from Cheers. Yes, obviously she's Watzy Belanos.
I'm Dan Beyer. But a lot was happening in the
break and we're going to get to Isaac Lohenkron in
a second. But Monceiy and I were reliving Todd Fraser's
a Night in Cincinnati in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Finally, Dan and Monsey back to the World Cup and
a new scandal concerning Senegal's since eliminated World Cup team.
The president of Senegal's soccer federation revealed that the national
team's team doctor for the last decade does not have
any appropriate education or training in sports medicine and is
(22:28):
actually a gynecologist. President of the federation said, quote, our
head doctor does not have the academic profile to accompany
our athletes. That is something I discovered too late. Unquote
back to.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
You, guys, I thought it was odd when they listened
to as doctor Pepper. You know on there that it
wasn't necessarily a real doctor in that case.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
At this point though, he knows how to do the job.
At this point, why are you going to fire him?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Do you know that the doctor and doctor Pepper does
not have a period after it?
Speaker 5 (23:01):
The doctor and doctor does not happened.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You know what, Let's go, Let's go get some cans
of doctor Pepper down the hall.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
I'll take a look at the Doctor Pepper. I liked it.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I like medicine.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
To me, I think it's delicious.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, right, maybe I had too much of that.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Charry Doctor Pepper fan Jason Stewart, Oh, I love doctor Pepper.
But do you know there's a common alliteration. You know
that alliteration in Senegal Doctor Pepper's Pashmere. Did you get
one of the Doctor Peppers?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Sam? Do you like Doctor Pepper?
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Yeah, it's an occasional alternative for me. I do, I
do like it.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Thank you for answering. I just needed something to separate
that from what we're about to talk about. I just
I appreciate, I appreciate a little.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
There.

Every time he ran on the pitch, he brought stirrups.
You know, it was just like those those yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like really odd. It's like, it's my arm, it's
my arm.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Who do you.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Think the uh? Who do you think the real winner
of the World Cup is going to be after this
match is done here tomorrow. Do you think that in
the United States we're gonna find a rebirth of soccer?
Do you think that we're gonna have a love for
soccer that we hadn't had prior to this World Cup?
I'm guessing no. By by the silence, Well, I just don't.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I think it's gonna be that big of a of
an interest that we're gonna notice it right away.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
But I do think that there are people that we.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
May follow now individually and see what they do beyond
the World Cup.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Like I think I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I think Early and Holland We're probably all gonna follow him.
And when I say oh, I mean me and Iowa
was him.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I was Sam.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
He has thirteen million Twitter followers he started with I
think like fifty and he's been on Twitter since like
twenty twelve or twenty thirteen, since he was a young teenager.
And he's got like an entire country's worth of observers. Now, yeah,
and I'm one of them.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I feel like, in fact, I think Norway are huge
winners in all of this. They had like a like
a parade for them, and they didn't do they just
they just were so grateful for their team. Like I
think there's a lot of winners. But I do think
that there is a there will be an increase in
soccer interests.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
In the US.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I just don't think it's going to be a huge,
huge interest that we immediately see the change once this
is over.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
In a weird way, I wonder if it's going to
be the opposite, because your pause made me think that
you were going to say I don't think much is
going to change, which I agree with. I also wonder
are we smart enough now to realize and recognize what
the MLS is.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
We have Messi in the MLS, and that would be
enough for anybody to want to watch, to want to
watch his matches. But again, when we're talking about the
names of this World Cup, of Embappe, of Holland, of
Harry Kane, of Jude Bellingham, none of those players are
playing in the United States. So in a way, as
(26:46):
a sports fan, and I think that sports fans in
the United States are pretty intelligent, are saying there may
be an uptick in how you follow European club soccer,
But it actually may be a negative to a American
soccer if we can't get some of these names here
to watch on a daily basis. Like that's and I
(27:06):
think that that. I think more people will be turned
onto the Premier League, you know, or other leagues and
will want to watch those matches. But for the MLS,
I almost think it could be something to turn away
unless we start to get those levels of players, which
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Is going to happen, you know, I don't think it's
doing anything for MLS.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
What I am hoping is that there will be some
of these European players that maybe want to come to
the MLS before they reach a certain age.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Because Messi's here because he's done at all. He's not
here because he cares about MLS. He just wants to
be in Miami.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
He's like, I've done it all, I might as well
go play soccer in Miami and like live it, you
know there.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
So I feel hopefully, hopefully this by having the World
Cup here, I feel like a lot of players, I
think even Holland came out and was like the US
was great, Like it's just all these players are enjoyed
their time here. So I'm hoping that they come to
the MLS sooner.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Rather than later.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Maybe we can get one off games with the European
club to come play an MLS game in an exhibition game.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Keep that alive, because I.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Agree with you, I don't think it's MLS that is
winning in any way.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, I don't see how anybody is like I'm watching because, honestly,
as I'm watching Spain in France, and as much as
we loved watching USA play, this at times looks like
a different sport than some of the matches the Americans played.
I mean, am I like when you watch how Spain
in France control the ball or what has happened in
(28:39):
these quarterfinals, it's completely different than us watching the Americans.
Isaac Glow and Gronz.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
There is an existential problem that I don't see Major
League Soccer overcoming anytime soon. It's really not going to
be one of the top five leagues in the world.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
For the seeable future.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
You have the Premier League Siria A and Italy La
Liga in Spain, League One in France, the Bundesliga in Germany.
And another problem, honestly is dilution. Major League Soccer has
thirty teams. All those other leagues, the top leagues in
the world I just mentioned, have only twenty teams, So
there's more dilution of talent to begin with in Major
(29:22):
League Soccer than those other leagues, which already have an advantage.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
We also have promotion and relegation like in the Premier League,
which also makes the season a bit more interesting and
forces you to compete. Yeah, there's a lot at stake here.
I just think when we walk away from this that
not only do I think it's not going to change
anything in how we watch professional soccer now, whether it
be an increase in the youth that watched this and
(29:49):
became an early Holland fan or a Jude Bellingham fan.
And I'm naming those players because those are the players
then that the young players will follow throughout their career.
Bellingham's twenty three years, You're like, okay, good, I can
watch him for the next decade or so play at
the top of his game. That's somebody I'm going to follow.
There may be an impact there, but by no means
(30:09):
is it going to change anything. And I actually think
it's a negative for the MLS for how good this
has been because what we are watching and what we
are enjoying just isn't the same.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That's a really good point, Dan, You're right. It's a
really bad look for the MLS. This is probably not
a good thing for it. I didn't even look at
it like that, but you you are right, and watching
these games, it's easier to see the game within the
game with these really good teams because sometimes you're right.
When USA was out there, it seemed like they didn't
know what they were doing, Like I didn't know how
to follow their game plan. With here, it's like, oh,
(30:41):
I see the game within the game I said we
were trying to do.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I'm telling you you're gonna love the Euros in twenty
twenty eight like that. Now there's no MESSI because Argentina's
not in it. But like the names that you that
people fell in love with this year, a lot of
them are going to be playing in those championships and
in twenty twenty eight, it'll be that will be that
will be exciting to watch. She's Monty Blagos, I'm Dan
(31:07):
byer One WNBA rookie has been very exciting to watch
this season, and she did something last night that no
one has done before, or at least in this timeframe.
She did it. Who was that rookie and what did
she do? We'll tell you next year. It's Stugatzi Company Live.

You can find me at Dan Byer on Fox Iowa.
Sam is here, Jason Stewart in Isaac lohingcron. Let's be real, Isaac.
Isaac's at the news desk keeping us up today of
what's happening in the world. Up until the Spain leads
(32:01):
France one nil, as they are currently in stoppage time
at the end of the first half. I'll tell you
what the uniforms of this match, The kits magnificent. You
like them, just magnificent. Not only that, like France's their
whole entire uniform is their flag it's magnificent. Blue top,
(32:25):
white shorts, red sox looks great. Spain colors of their
flag as well. I love it. White top maroon shorts
looks great, a great look. And they even watered the
field during the hydration break, so Spain and France got
their drinks of water and so did the pitch. It
was a very sad scene that the Foxboro Stadium where
(32:49):
the Patriots play, Jillette Stadium, they've already ripped out the
grass well you know, and now they got to put
the artificial turf. One would you just play like two
NFL games on there and then when it's done and
just be like, all right, we're gonna put the regular
turf down.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
They can't do that.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
They can't imagine they play one or two games and
they are like, look how much better it is.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
They can't.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I think it would also reveal though on how like
this soccer surface would not stand up to the riggers
of the NFL, and I think that's something else that
needs to be pointed out of why they can't do it.
But it was just sad to see them ripping out
all of that sod Iowa Sam.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
And the weathering of the seasons. I mean, George Kittle
came out and said, well, look, we can have grass fields,
but this is the middle of the summer where grass
grows plentiful, and in December in certain places and you
just can't grow grass and it's just not gonna hold up.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's difficult. Lambeoufield has gone to a lot of great
lengths to try to obviously, in December, what a zero
degree is.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
The most impossible?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yes, yes, you're still playing on basically an ice rink.
Olivia Miles is skating through her rookie season with ease
in the WNBA, and last night, the Minnesota Link Star
win against the Mercury reached a milestone that no player
has reached in the fewest in the shortest amount of times.
(34:09):
In twenty two games in her WNBA career, Olivia Miles
has scored four hundred points, recorded one hundred assists, and
I'm asked one hundred rebounds. No one had done it
in that quickly of a fashion. And last night in
their win over the Mercury, Olivia Miles had thirty three
points in the victory, getting rave reviews not only from
(34:31):
her head coach, who says she deserves all of her flowers.
She's going to start the All Star Game. Even Dewana
Bonner of the Phoenix Mercury said that she's having a
great season, that she's got a great IQ. Everybody is
falling in love with what Olivia Miles is doing for
the Minnesota Lynx and Manzi, this relates to you and
I because I felt that we were the ones who
(34:53):
kind of started the conversation that ultimately, ultimately, when it
came down to it in the WNBA Draft, the dab
Llus Wings decided that asy Fudd was going to be
their pick. And I think that the ultimate decision was
because of her relationship with Paige Beckers. To make your
star player even more happy. And it isn't that Azy
Fudd is having an awful rookie season. It started out slow,
(35:17):
and there's been nice where she's had twenty points. I
think she's got at least five games where she's had
twenty points or more. Olivia Miles is becoming the Kevin
Durant of the two thousand and seven draft. No matter
what happened with Greg Godin, who had the injuries and everything,
Greg Golden was still kind of a no brainer pick
to be the number one overall pick just had injuries,
and his injuries ended up failing his body in Durant.
(35:39):
The number two pick ends up being the star of
that draft. And I think that's what we're going to
get here with Olivia Miles is we're going to look
back at this draft and be like, Wow, Olivia Miles
went number two in that twenty twenty six draft. Can
you believe it?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (35:52):
In this season, it's very obvious to see the difference
in who has been the more impactful player immediately what
Olivia Miles is doing. Watching her play, it's been it's
been a lot of fun. I haven't watched a lot
of Lynks games, but when I do watch it, them
like this girl stands out and I don't know if
it's been just in a perfect opportunity. I said it
to you before the show. How did Minnesota have the
(36:13):
second overall pick? That I just realized that. I was like,
wait a second, weren't they They finished the regular season
last year in first place, there was some moves that
were made with other teams, and they had the second
overall pick, and so she joins a team that's already
really good.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
So all of that I have.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
To take into consideration as to why she's having so
much success.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
I can't you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
We see typically rookies enter a bad situation when they're
high draft picks. That is not what is happening here.
And so she is thriving and she definitely looks way.
She doesn't look like a rookie when I see her
out there, and.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I remember when and Sam, not to put you on
the spot, but your point, like to support Easy Fudd,
was that Easy Fudd was a top prospect. Some may
have had her number one on the board. I think
a lot of people. Other people had Olivia Miles as
number one. We talked about would you take Laura and
bats if he needed a center at that point that
was all part of the discussion. But there were people
who said Olivia Miles is the best player in this draft,
(37:09):
and the Wings didn't pick her and they chose they
chose Asy Fudd. And unfortunately for Fudd, she's not going
to be having to be compared, yes, be compared to
Olivia Miles, but it just goes to prove the point
that we had that for as good as a player
that Easy Fudd is, Olivia Miles is setting records that
we haven't seen before, scoring thirty three points in a
(37:31):
game last night, or a team minute thirty seven. She
also had eight assists in that game, and that's what
the Wings bypassed to make sure that Paige Becker's was happy.
And that was the whole point of it. That the
ultimate decision came down to, likely the relationship than anything
that I had to do with on court and basketball.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
And we'll see what Asy Fudd can do. It's only
a year one, but Olivia Miles is awesome.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
There's a long career, but so far, so good for
Olivia Miles. What about Mike Trout in his future? We'll
talk about it next on Fox Sports Radio.
