Speaker 1 (00:30):
Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Wednesday, The Jason Smith Show with
my bas.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Friend Mike Harmon. I'm an ass man.

Speaker 1 (00:39):

is the way tire buying should be. Well, it's kind
of nice here in a week that is filled with
so much and dread and anxiety as teams jockey to

(01:04):
win the division in Major League Baseball, to make the playoffs,
to be one of the final wildcards, that we get
some time to really understand and watch some little league
baseball to understand, Hey, this is how it looked when
when we were kids, when everything wasn't perfect, when you know,
mistakes were made, the right plays weren't made, and you

(01:24):
celebrated after by just you know, talking to the kids
about saying, hey, you know, maybe do this next time.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Let me do this this time.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
So it's nice to get to watch little league baseball
tonight as we watch the Mets lose to the Cubs
right now eight to two with little league baseball mistakes
in the last ending Oh, I'm watching little league again.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Little League.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
You know, you could have gone any direction. And at
the start of that little diet trib the the first
eight or nine words, I was getting ready to hit
the dump button because I had no idea where you
were going with it. Yeah, but I'm glad you stayed
with major league baseball in the final week of the season.
Thinking back to little baseball and the comedy of errors,
things that they say, no, that's a home run.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's like I really wasn't even a single.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
No it's a home run, he scart. There were four
errors right off the jump. Here You've got the Mets
at every turn, bad positioning, bad throws, not covering home play.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I mean, things we've seen.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
I mean, we saw it in the World Series with
the best of the best, So I guess our expectations
should have already been the bar should have been lowered.
So when Clay Holmes comes in and you go, oh,
that's interesting, and you started doing the back math on
when he last pitch.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
To pitch on Saturday and the Mets field, the game
is there from six to two. They were down six.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Nothing again, but may they think the game the game
is there for them.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
They were spot in the Cubs. The best starter who
can only go four innings. We're bringing them in.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
It's the state of Major League Baseball. Most most staffs.
At this point you can get four or five innings.
You're feeling pretty good about your third start. This week
is too long, Okay, this week is is too long.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
You love baseball. Yesterday to go back to check the
tape with John Paul Morosi Baseball romantic, isn't it great? Still?

Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know today you're based it's still too long. No,
the week is too long. There's too much anxiety every
single bleeping day, like every day is a playoff game,
and every day is full of all kinds of peaks
and valleys.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, you're alive. No, it's it's too much when you
wake up. I mean, I know there's a bunch of
stuff ahead. Man, it's not just what am I gonna
do with my day?

Speaker 5 (03:28):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
No, only you're now give me a.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Good three days. Man, this is this, This is too much.
You know you could turn it off. It's too stressful.
You got sick days. I claim that they made you ill.
I can't, oh you how many sick days I could
have taken the last thirty years.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's all I'm saying is they're there. I mean, folks
have taken them for less.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Jason Smith worked forty three days this year, but he's
got a good excuse for all those times he missed.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
So, I mean, we are in the state of California.
He got a lot of leeware.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
But yeah, a two here in the sixth inning and
just some miserable fundamentals Hubs.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
The Cubs are celebrating like they're winning a playoff game
because they've lost five in a row.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
But you try to find some juice and look when
you got Pete crow Armstrong, who has had one of
the most miserable second halfs of the season, only to
be outdone by the Tigers. We'll get to them in
short order. But when Holmes throws a wild pitch, gets
to the backstop and it's slow motion. Yeah, he doesn't move.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
The catcher makes a half ass effort to get back
to the ball.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Little league play. What am I say? Here comes Pete
Crow Armstrong rounds third.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
His eyes get wide like sau like he he's licking
his chops and strolls to home play it and the
throw is off tariant like Holmes takes his ball, his
eye off the ball. The ball goes sailing towards first base.
And it's just one of those plays that might be
the lead or the final frame of your season yearbook.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
No, and I'm sitting here, I'm sweating out pirates reds.
I mean, it's the end of September and I'm sweating
out pirates red.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Why because Paul Steens you wanted him to get over
too for as her?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Why did they take him out after only eighty five pitches?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Let him in.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
It's his last start of the year. Okay, he gets hurt, now,
he's got plenty of time to recover. He could go
one hundred and twenty five pitches. It's absolutely fine. I'm
sweating out Pirates, Reds, I'm sweating out Dodgers, Diamondbacks. It's
a lot of sweating, man like I saying it's it's
too much the anxiety.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Four three in the eleventh. Now the Pirates with the lead.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
But hey, hey, I do want to say? I always say,
what do you want to say? It could always be worse,
right it goes you're worse. I could be a Tigers fan.
You could be a Jets fan. Hey, well, I know
that's worse. There's no I have no right now. I
mean that's on Friday. He kind of shifts into Jets form.
I could be it Chige to forget them the rest
of the week. I could be a Tigers fan right now,

(05:44):
because wow, the Mets, you know, losing a five game
lead in the NL East and then losing a five
game wildcard lead. Yeah, that that's not great, not great, Bob.
But you are looking now at the absolute, not possibility,
but probability that the Detroit Tigers will blow the biggest
lead in the history of Major League Baseball. It was

(06:07):
a fifteen and a half game lead over the Cleveland
Guardians mid July, and now the Guardians are in first
place by a game. With four left, they have beaten
the Tigers again. The Tigers have now lost eight in
a row and now they're sweating out with the Astros.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
They may never win again if these teams.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Both stink and now one of these teams is gonna
wind up not making the playoffs. But I mean it
could be worse because this is again, you know, John
Paul Morossi joined us last night, This would be the
biggest blown lead in the history again major League Baseball
been around a long long time, man, long time, go
back to when there were only two teams and hey,
we're playing each other, everything doesn't matter. We're gonna flip

(06:49):
it around at some point. Biggest blown lead in the
history of baseball. With four left, the Guardians now have
a game lead on the Tigers. And this was one
of those nights. It's where, hey, it was five to
one the Guardians that you know, typical Guardians night, how
they like to manufacture their runs. And the Tigers never
threatened in this game. And it's just what has happened.

(07:11):
What has happened to this team that was the best
team in Major League Baseball. In the middle of July.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
We talked about faustian deals.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Sometimes you go down to the crossroads and the collections
agency comes a little sooner than you thought.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
You thought you bought a full season. No, you got half.
You got towards the All Star break.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
The other thing, as we talked about that Guardians bought
the deal the Devil for the second half.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
But no, they kicked the guys that were fixing games
out of the locker room, and they want a tremendous tear.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's always good when you when you get rid of
guys that may or may not be throwing the game.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
The guys that gold win more games that are charged
to finish the game.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Boy, I didn't know they would win this many games.
What would they record have been? Would they have like
one hundred and twenty wins? If they had figured it
out the forty six and seventy two, it'd be like
one fifteen and forty right now, just an amazing second
half of a season. But I mean, we watch over
one hundred and sixty two some really strange stretches, But

(08:07):
what we've seen from the Tigers this second half of
the season has just been nothing short of remarkable.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
Right.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
You've got a couple of also rans and afterthoughts in
the division. And you've got these two battling through and
it's only appropriate that we get a couple of these
big games down the stretch to help decide at all.
You're astros, you mentioned them. They'll be coming up against
the A's here in short order, so you get to
watch that live and in living color.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Exit out by to Fresca, Exit Swollen Dome. Jason Smith
Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios to
run Homer by the Cubs. Shaw goes deep. It's ten
to two Cubs with the lead over the Mets. Meanwhile,
two outs in the eleventh, the Pirates up a run
over the Reds. But the Reds have runners at first
and third, sweating out Dodgers Diamondbacks. And let's get to

(08:54):
a different debate. I mean, we still baseball here, but
there's a different debate here because tonight that Reds fan
tried to help though, tried to reach over the railings.
Renels says, beat it man, Mine, uh So, Aaron Judge
two home runs for the Yankees tonight.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Right now, he's got fifty one. Right.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I came in tonight and the first time I sat
down you're watching the White Sox and I watched two
home runs in a row, and I'm like, boy, I'm
really cooling you right now.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, no it was.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
I mean they were already down five to one home
runs deal, but that Grisham sits down and he hits
the home run, two run home run. Here comes Judge.
We're looking at starting to look at the channels. All right,
we're getting this off here. It's like, it's Judge, we
got to watch this at bat. And then he sails
in an opposite field. I don't know what to tell you, man.
I'm getting up and leaving because I've sat down for

(09:42):
two plays, both home runs.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I gotta get up. I told you to beat it.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
But Judge, with two home runs tonight, well wait, well
maybe he's going to win that. No, Cal Raley has
gone deep for number fifty nine of the season for
the Mariners. They have a four game lead right now
over the Astros. They're gonna win. Look, they clinched the
playoffs last night. It's been it's an amazing season for Raley.
They're beating the Rockies three to nothing already in the

(10:07):
second inning, and we've had this MVP debate for a
long time, and I told you, hey, Roley's the guy.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
He's doing something we have never seen from a catcher.
The guy's gonna likely finish with sixty home runs at least.
We've never seen this kind of season. We've seen this
season from Aaron Judge. You've seen better seasons from Aaron Judge.
It's a great season. But you're splitting hairs between Cal
Rowley MVP, Aaron Judge MVP. Well, I know that the
Mariners are gonna win that division, and I said that

(10:36):
to me. It's gonna be that simple. If the Mariners
win the division, cal Rawley's the MVP. Now the Yankees
have tied the Blue Jays now, so they're tied atop
the Al East. But this is a season that we've
never seen a guy, haven't. Roley's got twenty more RBI
than Aaron Judge. Now, Judge is hitting about sixty points higher,
but you're talking about a slugging season. He's got ten

(10:57):
more home runs, He's got twenty more RBI. You can't
just automatically just get a Judge has a great season.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
You give it to him.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
You give it to him again. This is a season
we have never seen before from a catcher and what
he's able to and what he's able to do. Yeah,
if the Mariners didn't win the Al West, I would say, okay,
you could give it to Judge, right, because it's MVP,
not Player of the Year, right, it's MVP who And
we have been waiting for the Mariners to do this
for how many years? Right to be this team final?

(11:24):
It shows up in the playoffs and wins their division
and goes deep in the playoffs waiting for Julio Rodriguez
who knew it was cal Rawley. But now you see
the odds come down, and I'll take credit for that, saying, hey,
cal Rawley's gonna be the MVP, but now that it's
if it's this close, yeah, gimme Raleigh for the MVP
over Judge. Again, you're splitting hairs. But this season we

(11:47):
have never seen like when Judge had to sit, We've
never seen that season before. Okay, I kind of get it,
and the Mariners are gonna win their division. It's still
up in the air for the Yankees. It's still a
great season for Aaron Judge. But you know, fifty home runs,
one hundred and five rbi. Yeah, I'm okay giving it
to calirarodd.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
His war is about two over Raleigh when you break
it down, But I don't know that that formula includes
anything defensively. Right, you look at what Roley's been able
to do, and while he's not throwing out base runners
at the same clip, about eight percent drop there. You
got zero pass balls on the year, nine to nine
to six fielding percentage and again being able to hit

(12:21):
as he does playing the majority of his games from
the catcher position. Is really when we start splitting hairs.
Right now, the Maritors may end up with the number
one seed. Right as the Blue Jays and Yankees cannibalize
each other this final week of the season. That might
help bolster things to the other side. By the way,
rodriguezz back to you know, another thirty thirty season.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, in the last couple of months when no one's
looking because we're all watching calra Hey wait, hey, j
Rod is suddenly good again.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
But he's now done that four straight years. Just just
to put it out there as a guy who's what
I think, twenty five or twenty six years old, remarkable stuff.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
He and Bobby Witt Junior.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Watching those two grow up together is going to be
fun as their careers developed, But for cal Raley it
becomes a bit of the narrative. Now we've been waiting
on Seattle. I don't know that he should get bonus
points because they finally lived up to us trying to
carry a bandwagon forward for eight years, especially our guys
jump Baulmrosi. But okay, they've lived up to the height
and they've taken care of it, and they've got a

(13:21):
great roster, and Raleigh's at the head of the snake.
Great year a year ago and now challenging. As of tonight,
the odds were the same, and he looked Judge leads
in pretty much every category except home runs and RBI.
So if we want to do the deep metrics, you lose.
You want to talk batting average? Yeah, all right, it's done.
But four fifty home run seasons in his career for

(13:44):
cal Raley, he's been one of the big stories of baseball.
Ad what he did at the All Star Game and
everything else that it helps push it over. It'll be
interesting to see how the odds develop here over these
next five days. Exit how about a Fresco exit swollen
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Well, on a.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Three to one pitch with the bases loaded, the Pirates
get a ground out to third to end the game.
They beat the Reds four to three, So the Mets
being down ten to two isn't so bad right now,
and all my attention can turn to the Dodgers and
the Diamondbacks one apiece in the bottom of the second.

Yah fight fifty is landing fifty.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Home runs along for the fourth season of his career.
Army Judge with a three run home run.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Michael k Yankees TV on the call. Right there, a
three for four night for Aaron Judge. He homers twice.
He's got fifty one RBI. Now he's got one hundred
and nine fifty one home run, one hundred nine RBI.
He is leading the American League in batting at three
twenty eight. He joins a pretty select company of guys
with four straight years of fifty home runs. Right now,

(20:04):
for something about Aaron Judge. If Rawley's the MVP, oh Jays,
you hate Aaron Judge, just mad the metals.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
It's true because you are a Mets fan and you
are really just want to yell at your dad.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah no, no, that's that's fine. Uh, that's fair. All of
that is fair. But I mean mean, when when you
look at the plaudits, you listen to to Michael Kay,
you see the the career that Aaron Judge is putting together.
I mean it's he's thirty three years old. Now, he
came up a little bit late, you know, he came
up a couple of years late. But you see the
numbers he is putting up. These are Kart two numbers,

(20:37):
you know. Just go just go look at his look
at his stats and see the fifty two one, fourteen,
sixty two one, thirty one, fifty eight one, forty four,
fifty one. I mean, these are numbers that are that
are what you would normally see out of a out
out of guy's stats from the fifties. Right, this is
what Demaggio and Mantle hit When he is done right
and he's still clearly at thirty three, he's not showing

(20:59):
any signs of slowing down. And when he does, I'm
sure the Yankees will say, guess what, you're gonna be
our full time DH. Now we don't need you dropping
fly balls in the World Series, and.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
That means you got to get rid of all the
other guys that are primarily dhs around there.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
He's gonna wind up again. We've talked with this a
few weeks ago. He's gonna wind up with one of
the top five Yankee careers of all time. He's gonna
be a top five all time Yankee.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
That actually became a conversation.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
We were waiting on my daughter's soccer game a couple
of weeks ago, and I go, funny, we did this
on the show.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
You can listen to the podcast.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
I'm gonna go shags and balls, like there's a whole.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Twenty minute conversation gonna do that.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I mean like if you had a if you had
the the five added one face on Mount Rushmore. No,
but really, Judge is gonna finish his career one of
the top five Yankees of all time.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
It's good.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
They're gonna say, Judge, Jeter, Ruth Mantle, DiMaggio, that's gonna
be your list, right, And not that you didn't have
other great yeahs, now you'd have Whitey four. Now you
didn't have Glue Garrett not you know, but you're gonna say, Okay,
he's gonna be looked at us having that kind of
a top five career all time, and maybe Judge may

(22:12):
even be ahead of Joe dating that Joe's got, He's
got all the extra Stuff's got streak.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
He was married to Marylyn's got the streak.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
You keep trying to win money, understand, Marilyn Monroe, he
was mister coffee. I mean, maybe you could say, come on,
maybe he's ahead of Joe d Maybe he's ahead of
Lou Garrett. Maybe it's it, but he's it's gonna be
top five careers of all time.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yeah, but it's funny and Joe all that, And then
over here you got Mariano Rivera go and I know
I didn't hit, but what about me?

Speaker 1 (22:40):
But yeah, I threw one pitch for fifteen years. It
was a great pitch, but I threw one pitch. It
was awesome.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
It's all that mattered. Three hundred and sixty four now
career home runs. And the amazing thing is, you've got
a two ninety three career batting average now this year,
as he leads the American League, there's only eight guys
with a batting average over three hundred this year That's
the other thing is just to remember we've changed this
game immensely. We talk about team batting averages in the

(23:05):
two fifties, and that's the norm. So when we get
a guy who's not only a top slugger, but he's
also hitting for that kind of average, it's absurd.

Speaker 6 (23:14):
Right.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
It goes back to.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
What Bonds was doing when he was walking two hundred
times a year, getting one pitch to hit a game,
and was still hitting three thirties. So, I mean, what
Judge has done is absolutely incomparable right now in this game.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I mean, look, he's again he started off slow, and
he had a he had a three year run where
in you know, in the beginning of his prime that
wasn't great, right, Like he had that big year in
twenty seventeen when he burst out, was him and Bellinger
right right away, It's like, what who's better? Look at
these brand new sluggers coming in. It was Bellinger and
Judge the same year, right, he was fifty two and
one fourteen. His next few years not great. Of course,

(23:51):
he had the COVID year of twenty twenty. But you
know we got hurt both years twenty seven and sixty
seven twenty seven and fifty five nine and twenty two
and twenty twenty these are just jag years, right, But
he did get hurt and so he missed a lot
of time. And then he comes back, you know when
in his late twenties and suddenly everything is it's cartoon.
It's Miguel Cabrera in the in the early to mid

(24:14):
teens of what we saw from him when he was
winning triple crowns and doing that, like these are the
these numbers are just absolutely ridiculous what he's putting up.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
Well, and you look at what happened in twenty twenty three, right,
limited to one hundred and eight games, and then he
comes back. We have no idea between he and Stanton's.
The running joke was how many times are we going
to see him in the lineup together? And then he
has the twenty twenty four campaign of fifty eight four
mard of course by dropping a fly ball in all way.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Oh that was great. That's fantastic stuff.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Bob Still still when you think about still as great
as his career as if I said, hey, what's the
first thing comes your mind when you think Aaron Judge,
It's the drop fly ball?

Speaker 3 (24:53):
No, you watch around to a couple of watering holes.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
To ball, great hitter, one of the most fantas a
great guy, great New Yorker fly ball.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, gotta catch that. If he catches that fly ball,
we win the World Series. Because we win that game,
we win Game six, we win Game seven.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
Now I got you.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Let me say, let's keep going with word association. That's
how we go. Garrett Cole point.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
When I hear Garrett Cole, what I think of the
verse visual is him pointing to first base of Rizzo.
You gotta get there. You gotta get the first base Rizzo.
You gotta get there.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
I thought he was going to walk off the field.
I thought was just gonna leave right then done with you.
You gotta get there. You gotta get there.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Hey, you know, hey, so really quick because we brought
this up really so, I told you this past week
and I went to COSM which is in La, which
is this huge great I can't tell you. It's like
watching sports on a big omnimax. You've probably seen it
if you watch Welcome to Wrexham. And there's a couple
in the country. Now there's one in Dallas, there's one
coming soon in Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
They're gonna expand pretty fast.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
And one of the things they did, I can't believe
this is that when they were showing what to cea
Michigan Nebraska last weekend, and it's like, yeah, that that's
the best thing to tell you. It's like it's watching
a sporting event on an omnimax and you're getting and
feeling like you're in the state. You're not going TV broadcast,
you're getting the in stadium. You feel like you're at
the game while you're watching this. COSM is amazing.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
But I love the video you sent me with the
guy that was two rows in fronty as a play
is going down the side, jumps up like he's sitting
in the third row of.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
The actual stadium. COSM is an amazing experience. To see
the stuff online. You can follow him on Twitter at COSM.
And one of the things they showed during commercial breaks,
it don't sho commercial because you're getting it's like you're
at the game. You're sitting at the fifty yard line,
you're up high, you're right behind the goalpost. It's amazing
they showed, Hey, here's a promo of what the other
sports other events we have looked like at cosm. And

(26:45):
they showed the replay of Freddie Freeman's walk off homer
in Game one against the Yankees. Right, give me me Freddy, Right,
And the angle they showed is that you're sitting behind
home plate and you see that. You see Freddie Freeman's
walk off home run from behind home plate and I
never caught this before and for the first time, and

(27:06):
I was like, wow, I couldn't believe it. Freeman hits
it and you can just tell that likely it's gone right,
and I'm watching and for some reason, because I can
see him, I can see Anthony Rizzo standing at first base.
Freddie Freeman hits the ball and it's oh, you know,
it's it's not even the Yankees going back to the wall.
And Rizzo doesn't even turn around. He just starts walking

(27:28):
off the field like that. I mean, it's a maazing,
like there's no walk and I turned it's just my head.
He hits the Freeman hits the ball, he puts his
bat up and he bat flips and Rizzo just puts
his head down and walks off the field like I
didn't know that that was Rizzo's reaction to it, Like
I had not known until now. Here's Rizzo put just
walking right off, like I know, it's gone almost a

(27:49):
shame almost like he had a you know, a hand
in that fifth inning when you know they couldn't make
any plays.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Well, kind of kind of bad things come bound themselves.
I just watch, you know, we celebrate tradition, and and
that's a new tradition for you. I know you're gonna
go and visit and watch many more games. We just
watched Juan Soto hit his forty third home run of
the year, and then the dope in the outfield threw
the ball back. On the fields. You catch mets her
down by a touchdown, it doesn't matter. My focus here

(28:17):
is on the dope who caught the home run. And
because the chumps around him say go through the broad back,
that's what we do here. He throws it back. That's
what Soto home run ball. The hell's wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Every home run is a by one. Soto is a
new career high. You never know if that could be
his last one this year.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
He might want it might get close to forty forty.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
That's terrible exit out about a Fresco exit swollen down
the Jason Smith show with my best friend Mike Carmon.
We got more coming up in ninety seconds. But first,
let's find out what's trending from someone who's been called
the Anthony Rizzo of Fox Sports Radio. If she doesn't
like what's going on, she puts her head down and
walks away too. It's that's so rude.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
NOI do not, I will, I will stick it out.

Speaker 9 (29:02):
Okay, okay, even when I don't want to be here.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Wait, you started in baseball here where the Cubs are on.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Top of the Mets. What happened? What happened? Jarreed Cole?
What happened to you? That was the better story? Wait, wait,
wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Now, let's find out what's trending from someone who's been
called the Angel rece the Fox Sports Radio. She didn't
want to be here either. She didn't want to do
the exit interview.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Let's go.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
Don't be hating on my me bands. All right, we'll
start in baseball.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Guys.

Speaker 9 (29:36):
Yeah, it's wild right now. The last couple of days
of the regular season.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
What was it like six weeks ago?

Speaker 9 (29:41):
They were like, oh, it's so boring that there's no race,
and here we.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Are where all of these games matter.

Speaker 9 (29:47):
The Cubs are on top of the Mets right now
ten three bottom of the eighth inning. The Rockies on
the scoreboard, but the Mariners are up five to one.
Cal Rawley with home run number fifty nine on this season.
It's the top of the fourth inning in Seattle. The
Dodgers and the the Diamondbacks are tied out one apiece
after three innings. If you care about the Cardinals and
the Giants, third tight to to top of the fourth,
And if you care about the Royals and the Angels,
the Angels are up three zero bottom of the fourth inning.

(30:10):
What has wrapped up well? The Yankees outscored the White
Sox eight to one, and the Red Sox top the Blue.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Jays seven to one.

Speaker 9 (30:16):
New York in Toronto are tied for the division in
the Al East right now. Aaron Judge hit two home runs,
bringing his total at fifty one on the season.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
He joins Babe Ruth, Mark McGuire.

Speaker 9 (30:24):
And Sammy Sosa as the only players to hit fifty
home runs in four different seasons. The Phillies crushed the
Marlins eleven to one. Eight home runs from the Phillies today,
two from Kyle Schwarber, bringing his total to fifty six
on the season. And yeah, the Pirates took down the Reds.
They went into eleven innings, but the Pirates win it
four to three. Brewers over the Padres three to one.

(30:44):
Milwaukee has won ninety six games, which is tied for
the most wins in Franchi's history. And the Guardians defeated
the Tigers five to one. What a collapse by Detroit
that has lost eight in a row. Cleveland is now
in first place in the AL Central. When it comes
to the NFL, the Seahawks are listing running back Zach
sharpone is questionable for Thursday night against the Cardinals. Good
news for Bucks fans because wide receiver Chris Godwin was

(31:06):
a full participant in practice today, And good news for
Chiefs fans because wide receiver Exavior Worthy was a full participant,
putting him on track to play Sunday against the Ravens.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Back to you, guys, thank you.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Very much, un says Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from
the Fox Sports Radio studios. So Jackson Dart was name
the starting quarterback for the rest of the season by
head coach Brian Dable today.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Rest of the season, not just we're gonna give him.
We're gonna let him go. We get no no rest
of the season.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Russell Wilson says it very supportive, but I'm not done,
not written the last chapter of my story yet. James
Winston still on the roster, so we get more on
on Wilson going forward. Now you kind of see where
things are going. And look, we told you last night. Hey,
Russell Wilson's gonna end this season on another team, right,
He's not gonna be a Giant. They're gonna wait obviously

(31:55):
when the first couple of weeks will go. As long
as Jackson Dart is what they think he's going to be.
By the deadline, Russell Wilson will either be traded or
he will ask for and probably get his release so
he can maybe hook on someplace else. If someone wants
to sign me at some point during the season, if
you deal me Tradbee, but he is not finishing the
season on the Giants rosters is not happening. But for

(32:16):
Dart there's the big question. Okay, well, how good is
Jackson Darker to be? I'll tell you this much, He's
gonna be really good, and he's gonna be good right away.
This is a kid that has the accuracy and the
mentality of I can throw the football wherever I want to,
but not so much where I can throw the football
over that mountain right, and not so much the Uncle Rico.

(32:37):
I'm gonna be really careless with the football. Dart is fearless.
He is smart. He can put the football in tight windows.
I watched all the throws he made during this summer.
No moment was too big for him. Whether it was
his first taste of NFL action, it was the game
against the Jets that really everybody saw. Okay, he really

(32:57):
can get it done. And the clock is ticking on
Russell Wilson. There's a reason he was a first round pick.
There's there's a reason why he's starting. Yes, the desperation
of the Giants and Brian Dable and Joe Shane want
to save their jobs, but there's a reason why he's
starting right now. He's gonna look like Joe Burrow light
for the rest of this season. He'll have some games

(33:19):
where wow, two three touchdowns not gonna result in els,
not result not gonna happen. It's gonna be an exciting
oh with a lot of l's for the Giants. But
he's gonna have some weeks will look like a rookie quarterback,
but some weeks he's gonna flash and you're gonna say, wow, man,
this kid can really sling it all. Part of his
is education as NFL quarterback. But he's gonna come in.

(33:40):
He's gonna remind people he's gonna be like a Joe
Burrow light when he comes in this season. That's the
type of excitement and production he's gonna bring to the Giants.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Yeah, one of the big parts to it is you
mentioned oh and l Andrew Thomas returned to action last
week against the Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Proof of concept. He's healthy and ready to go.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
So you probably feel a little more confident putting Jackson
dark back there with a bolster to offensive line. Three
touchdowns per interception as a collegiate as an amateur athlete,
now we don't say that anymore as a college quarterback.
A guy who can make plays with his legs. Look,
you got Wandell Robinson, Malik Neighbors won't have to run
twenty yards down field for every would be pass attempt

(34:20):
like you saw with Russell Wilson. So they can get
him involved in a higher percentage and he won't pout
as much on the sideline, so perhaps better days there. Yeah,
they're gonna lose a lot of games. They're not very
good defense will keep them in some of these middling games.
Maybe they'll win a couple maybe next week. But will
it be too much for him?

Speaker 6 (34:39):
No?

Speaker 3 (34:40):
And for Brian Dable.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
He still got his guy Russell Wilson to walk out
to practices with him for at least a little while longer.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Exit.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
How about a Fresca exit swollen dome? Yeah, be something
with the Chargers.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
D Oh No, I'm afraid of that. I mean Dermot
James is a terror. Terror for him, but you know, hey,
by the second option, Joe.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Sister Jean Chicago announced her retirement from the school due
to health concerns. She will no longer go to games,
no longer working out the consumer. She's been a chaplain
and a and a basketball insider and scout, been doing
stuff with the team for a long time. She has

(36:57):
decided that with some health concern and going to campus
back and forth every day, she is retiring at the
age of one hundred and six, one oh six.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
That's the last time it is.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, in two, Yeah, in O six, Yeah, I think
I'll go back to six. Yeah, go back to O six.
Oh oh, one hundred and six. I mean, Sister Jean
has become this huge cottage industry of herself. When she
first showed up Loyola Chicago and they're big running the
tournament in twenty eighteen, when she was ninety eight, right
ninety eight, ninety nine, her Jalen Rose's grandmother had a

(37:33):
big back and forth when they were gonna play Michigan
in the in the in the NCAA tournament. And here's
sister Jean ninety eight, and it's it's seven eight years later. Yeah,
and here'sh Yeah, I'm retiring now like I'm retiring. Yeah,
getting back and forth to like this is I I
just can't get over this one hundred and six and
it's announced that, Yeah, it's too tough, and I get it,

(37:54):
not be able to get to campus every day. But
I mean, this is someone who worked, worked for the
first first one hundred years of her life, hundred plus
years of her life, like everybody had another fifty four
in me. Let's go, how many more do I want
to work? I mean, I want to you want to live,
you know, but how many more do I want to work?
She's she's one hundred years old and working and just

(38:14):
working and still doing so.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
I mean, if I don't have to go to the
you know, drive on the freeway here on the four
or five every day for the next fifty four years,
I mean, can do this for a while, right, How
good kid of the kid? This guy the fifth, I mean,
how many generations of guys I remember when his great
granddad was running along. I mean that's what we're talking about.
She's been at Loyola since ninety one. Uh So you

(38:36):
look at just that stretch, I mean that that is
that is a life in and of itself.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, and I hang on, hang on, Hey,
twenty nine, thirty four. When she she got to Loyola.
She got to Loyola, she was seventy two.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
Yeah, ninety one.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
In nineteen ninety she got to Loyola, she was seventy two.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
I mean the next chapter, I remember to be.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
A senior in college. She got there, and I'm fifty four.
She got there in ninety one and she was seventy.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
And I was showing up just up the road in
Evanston to go to Northwest. I'm some new job. Now
I'm seventy two. You're not retiring, No, starting a new job.
Let's go. I'm there for thirty four years. It's an
amazing run.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
A man, the longevity, I mean, like you said, it
became a cottage industry. Talking about super fandom and just
that always having that figure with you. You talk about
the spiritual side of it certainly is not lost in
the city.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
A highly revered person. And every year towards the tournament,
if Loyola was even in the mix at all, you know,
it became the Sister Gene Watch for sure, Bobbleheads, T shirts,
you name it. All around the city of Chicago became
this larger, larger than life figure.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
I mean, and there was first reports that maybe she'd
retiring when she didn't go to the NIT Games earlier
in March. I just thought it was she.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Saying, n T.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
I don't get out of bed to go to the
n T I one hundred and five years old. Yeah,
call me when you get back to the tournament, you underachievers.
Then I'll come to a game again and I'll get
out there an unbelievable run though one hundred and six. Dude,
she was She's.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
Like what does she She's like, what does she like?
What's what are her habits for that long?

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Tell it's Chicago. It's gotta be brats. It's gotta be.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
In line for the freaking Glizzy that they gave out
at the Wieners Circle.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
She's the first one that goes after getting to get
the sausage in pepper sandwich people make outside. Yeah, no,
that would be interesting. Hey, sister Jean's got the first
sausage of pepper sandwich.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Just so you know, this is how we uh we
christened this this latest enterprise.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I mean, she was seventy two when she got there
in ninety when I'm like, okay, I want to be
retired by that. I want to be I mean, I
think everybody's a seventy two out of word seventy two.
It's like, yeah, new job, first day. Hey, I'm sister Jean.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
How you doing. Nice to meet you. I just started today.
Oh you just started? You just start? Okay?

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Think about what we're talking about, the potential age age
limits and retirement ages rising. It's like seventy two is
a number that's been floated about, like she was just
starting another career.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
Yeah, just on the extension, don what I want?

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Only she's been the chaplain and she's been campus minister.
She's done a lot of scouting for the basketball program.
I just this is we we don't talk about her enough,
right she she she gets her moment during the during
the NCAA term obviously, But I mean, someone this active
and this involved in sports at one hundred, because really,
what's the big?

Speaker 6 (41:33):
You know?

Speaker 1 (41:34):
I go back to the justin Timberlake movie, what's the big?
What's the big thing? We all want to own more
than anything else, want to own time, right, money is great,
and and and and and jobs. We all want to
own time. She's found a way to own time one
hundred and six, and I'm retiring, just retired, not even
team's no good anymore. I'll just say, I mean retiring
at one hundred and six. Time is the one asset
that we all have, the biggest one, and here she

(41:55):
is at just winning with that. Do you ever really
retire though, just because you're not going the campus, They're
still gonna call. She may go to games and stuff,
you never know, but I mean retiring from campus aggressive, sister, Jean,
what a Career's one of my side of my fifty
four year contract. Coming up next, NFL insider Jason lock
And for all the latest news going into Thursday night

(42:16):
football next on Fox NFL game like tomorrow night. Yeah,
rocking sunglasses through its entirety? Is this socially acceptable behavior?
Jason lock and for it take us behind this in
depth analysis that you put up earlier today.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
Well, I don't know if you caught it, but Eric DaCosta,
the much heralded general manager of the Baltimore Ravens, who
carries himself is like he's on many rings, but hasn't
happened every year People tell me he's the greatest GM
in the league and has the greatest roster in the league,
And I say, well, where are the pass rushers? And
what the hell would ever happen if Nomny Menabik got hurt? Wow,

(42:52):
they don't have any pass rushers and we're finding out
about Nomini Metabik getting hurt and Eric DaCosta unlike most gms,
WO were nondescript and sit in a press box and
don't know where every camera is on the sidelines, he's
dressed up like some kind of crazy men in black cosplay.
I guess he found Halloween at the end of September
and not October, including sunglasses, which, unfortunately he kept showing

(43:16):
up on the TV repeatedly looking like a jackass. So
I asked that question, and I think the people, I
think the people have spoken. So Yeah, if I was
the owner of that team, I'd say, Hey, why don't
you keep dressing up with every day's Halloween until you
get a real defense around here? Like that's what I
would say, Hey, keep that outfit on, where are your sunglasses?

(43:36):
Twenty four to seven until you fix your defense?

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Currently weird but not terrible in the lead with over
eight hundred votes at Jason Lockin for on Twitter is
where you can find that poll. But do they they
find help? I mean or going to just score forty
points a game.

Speaker 6 (43:56):
No, they're in trouble. I mean, David Bryant is probably
going to be to start nose tackle this weekend, like
they just signed him. Like, I mean, they're in trouble.
Travis Jones, who was holding up okay through three quarters
and then how to get used to licen and you
know in the trenches getting double team. He's banged up.
You know, Roderick Washington, the true run stuffers, banged up,

(44:17):
Michael Pierce retired. Like, No, they're they're they're in a
world hurt. Roquan Smith is a five million dollar linebacker
who they paid twenty million dollars to because you know,
they gave up a lot of trade for him in
mid season. Now there's a lot of holes that are
getting exposed and are going to continue to get exposed.
You know, they paid Derrick Henry again, We'll see how

(44:37):
that works out on him. They didn't have to, they
already have signed and they don't want to give any
money to anybody to rush the passer. There was three
guys on the street who had ties here who were
all on the street late until the summer, and we
kept asking on my show, like so Darius Smith that
cut on to Damon clown He clearly they've got an

(44:58):
extra six million, eight million on the side for one
of those guys. Right, it turned out not so much,
you know, and mister men and black crowd all off season.
But I didn't have that much work to do because
his roster was so great, like his words, not ours,
and most of all seasons, I'm so bigy, but you know,
this year, don't really have much to do. I gotter

(45:19):
get his quarterback extended. U. So yeah, I mean, you
know they got people around here to take victory laps
in the summer because they spoon see nonsense to people
in the media who will gladly spit it out like
a baby bird, like getting said by a mama.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Now you said the magic phrase right there, you're the
magic player. They are Jadavian Clowney. Now, clearly he's going
to be able to wipe away all of the Cowboys
defensive ills on Sunday against the Packers, right, like Packers
like like Cowboys forty nine thirteen Sunday, Right, that's what's
gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (45:53):
Yeah, well maybe the other way around. They could have
really used Teddy Klark for this one on the other
side too, because their run defense was at least holding
up in Dallas a little better than I thought it
was going to coming into the year. No. I mean, look, Clowney,
he doesn't really want to do anything in the offseason.
That's part of the reason he waited so long to sign.

(46:13):
So the idea that he's in anywhere close to football
staatee is crazy.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
No.

Speaker 6 (46:19):
I mean, I think Dallas is allowing seventy two completion
percentage against them, three hundred and sixty passing yards a game,
seven passing touchdowns to one interception, and now they're going
to have a pissed off backers team after they blew
that one to the Browns, and you know, obviously the
revenge factor with Parsons. Yeah, I think that's Dallas isn't

(46:42):
good at home anymore. I mean Dallas a couple of
years ago at least good at home. I think that's
one four of us last eleven at home. Yeah, I
think that could get pretty ugly. Green Bay scored at
least thirty one points to last five times they faced
Dallas regular season in playoffs, and Matt Floor is a
demon against spread in September and Matt la Flow is

(47:02):
twenty two to eleven and one against the spread in
prime time. I think he's twelve and three against the
spread on Sunday Nights football. So yeah, I would follow the.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
Trans Yeah, air yards per target, Jordan Love was one
of the leaders. So let's let's see it go up
against that eber flues d once again as we flow
through Week four, coming up, All right, Jackson Dart gonna
get his first start.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
I think we all had it circled for.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
The game against New Orleans, but now he's got the
Chargers break glass in case of emergency. The flare is
out for the Giants. What do you expect?

Speaker 6 (47:39):
I don't expect a whole lot. I think you know,
people are getting carried away about a couple of preseason performances.
This is a very different task. I mean, Chargers defense
is one of the three best of football. I think.
I'm they've about six first quarter touchdowns since Jesse mentioned
took the defense over last year. Mean, that's that's ridiculous.

(48:01):
Uh So he's probably going to be playing from behind
that's going to be trouble. I think his legs will
make them interesting, like a little bit like. I think
they'll activate that. Maybe he hits neighbors a few times,
you know, on the run, scramble drew breakdown stuff. But
I think it's a real tough assignment for him. It
might be a letdown spot for the Chargers. You know,
Hardball's not go for the throat guy. They'll probably be

(48:23):
a little too conservative and a little too cute. I
would maybe take that spread down a little bit and
Pairrot with Herbert Tho at least two passing touchdowns. But no,
I don't think Jackson Dark is going to immediately invigorate
that slumbering offense or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
What do you make of of of the Tom Brady
stuff the last couple of days with obviously his conflict is.

Speaker 6 (48:50):
Manifesto that he's set out whatever news.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
He puts out.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
This this this statement today about the conflict of interest
between him owning part of the of course being broadcaster
for Fox, and he said, listen, people, he blames the
conflict of interest on paranoia. Okay, now I'm trying to
figure out exactly what that means. But overall, like, is
this really that big a deal? Jay, I find it
hard to believe it's that big a deal. It's not
just something that's continually just made up like it's a

(49:17):
bigger deal than it is by the media.

Speaker 6 (49:20):
Yeah. I mean, look, he's got for a guy who's
had the world by the balls for twenty years now,
he's got quite the persecution complex, like it really, Like,
I mean, at some point somebody needs to just tell him, dude,
what you want, Like you don't need to, you know,
you're not helping yourself with this garbage, Like he got

(49:42):
special privileges because he's Tom Brady. The whole world knows
it and so does he. So it's fine, you know,
just your double dip. Make your money from the Raiders,
make your money from Fox, and let people sling arrows
wherever they want. You're Tom, that's and Brady, Like it
is a it is a blatant comp with the interest,
like it just is. You're running an NFL team and

(50:07):
you're getting access to information and people and scenarios, and
you're doing a job that frankly owners don't do. Like
you know, you kind of have to pick one or
the other. Like when you want to own a baseball
team and you have fifteen rotissery teams, like, oh, I
don't know the dude who bought the Orioles. They tell you, hey, buddy,

(50:30):
you can't do your high stakes rotissery leagues anymore, like
because it's kind of a conflict, Like it's just not
a good look, right, but like that happens, Like that's real.
So the idea that this guy should be able to
do anything he wants as a broadcaster slash team owner. No,
it's it's a little ridiculous, and they're letting you get
away with it. To just shut up and get away

(50:51):
with it.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
Let's lean into the you wanna bet for a second,
And we got Thursday night football with Arizona Seattle getting
after it. Anything stand out in that one.

Speaker 6 (51:01):
It's a dead under series. I mean it has been,
and I lean that way. Seattle's won seven in a row,
they've covered six of the last seven. Kyler Murray has
struggled against that defense. I am buying what Mike McDonald's
kind of selling defensively right now. And Kyler Murray at

(51:22):
home against the Division does not cover. And Kyler Murray
as a favorite, which that game was, he was a
favorite most of the week at home does not cover.
I've taken it up around fifty two and a half
and most of my bets on this game, and I've
paired it with you know, Seattle getting some points. I've

(51:45):
paired it with Jackson Smith and Jigbo who's seeing forty
percent of their targets and Arizona struggling against number one
wide receivers. You know, I've pared it to him. But
reasonable stuff. I mean, you can watch one of met
on my Twitter at Jason locker Ford at YouTube dot
com backslash. I want to be with us for a
forty five yearnits since we launched this show, and I'll

(52:07):
give you strategies. I think there are some ways to
bet distance in smart correlated two leg parlays for plus
money where we can sort of cover our backside. But
I think Smith and Jigba has a game. I think
Sam Donald those at least one touchdown pass. I think
it's under, but let's take it up into the fifties
and go under. Yeah. So those are some of my thoughts.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Again, get those thoughts on Twitter at Jason lock and
for that is at Jason lock and for a one
of five seven. The fan in Baltimore Odyssey wahing it
post again at Jason lock and for Jay enjoy the game,
my friend.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
We'll talk to you next week. Have fun.

Speaker 6 (52:42):
You guys do the same.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Thank you, all right?

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Thanks herp Here goes Jason Locking for who clearly and
I don't think I'm putting words in his mouth. Not
happy with how the Ravens have been run so far
this season, considering where their defenses, where their personnel is
not happy.

Speaker 4 (52:57):
He didn't even qualify it with well, at least THEEFS
offense is coming in this week. Yeah, yeah, no, not
even that, because he could have very just said, all right,
this week they don't face a team operating. No, no, no,
he buried him, like, so Chiefs is actually and this.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Is why I say certain things are so wide open.
That's now the worst division in football AFC worst division
in football because the Ravens o best offense, the best
because the petitive it's competitive. It's the worst division. The
Ravens defense is awful, The Steelers are just okay, right,
the Browns defense is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
They should go get a quarterback.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Even though the Bengals gave up ninety fantasy points, the
Vikings defense last week. They could still stay in it
over the course of the He're like, this is the
worst division in football. If you can be bold and
do a couple of things, you can win the AFC North.
Man You, me and Frostburg and Tyshert could go win
the AFC North. I only got one or two throws
in me a pretty good full back. If you're not

(53:57):
gonna throw, we're gonna give you the ball in the
in the red zone, your your your goal line. I
could be Camp Scannabo.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will Sugarnut yeah yeah yeah. Ty
Shirt Skuy throw hospital balls too over the middle.
