channel at Jason Smith Show on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It is there for you right now.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well, sometimes you get planned out to do a show
and you get ideas in your head and you're gonna
you're gonna talk about it. Okay, we're gonna starr with
the Red Sox and the Yankees, get to a little
bit of the forty nine ers, and then, as I
was telling you about our YouTube channel, yeah, this just happened.
The forty nine Ers, who are facing a fourth and
(00:55):
goal situation right now against the Rams on a day
where Mac Jones has been having an unbelievable day. Jones
throws incomplete on third down. He's hit from the side,
just a normal, a normal hit right, nothing out out
of the out of the realm, and Mac Jones goes
(01:18):
to the ground, screaming in pain. He is holding his
left calf area, just below his knee. Now, there was
no you'll see this video and again this is this
is twenty seconds old.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Uh, there's no cringiness, there's no it bent one way,
it didn't go the other. It almost looked like a
non contact injury on a contact play, if if that
makes sense, because he gets hit, he goes down and
there's nothing dirty about the hit. There's nothing that tells you,
oh man, this is he throws incomplete. He immediately grabs
just below his knee, right right in his calf area.
(01:54):
Medical personnel are out there to help him. You can
see the anguish on his face. And they have just
gone to commercial, and all of a sudden, now everything
we're talking about tonight, everything we had planned, all the
baseball everything, now Mac Jones, who was playing incredibly well tonight,
and there were all kinds of big hot takes we
had about the Niners and their quarterback situation is did
(02:15):
you overpay Brock Purdy and all.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Now suddenly Mac Jones one play, one incomplete pass to
the ground in a lot of pain, and now you
have no idea what's going to happen from here on out.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, Young comes off the edge and that tackle just
might as well have not moved like he just looked
like a statue as Young ran past him and he's
trying to check him before he gets to mac Jones.
Jones gets the ball off. I don't know as we're
watching it whether is Cleet gets caught before he gets contacted,
like slightly, just enough to where there's a tweak, But
(02:50):
either way, he's in anguish, laying on the ground. Question
of whether there should have been a flag on the
play as the ball goes, but that's so secondary QB.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Look, he comes in and the way the play is
is he comes off the edge and mac Jones is
looking to throw to the to the left corner of
the end zone and he throws and he's hit split
second after he gets rid of the ball. Not nothing
that would warrant a penalty, nothing out worn anything, but
he is facing that way. He is facing to the
left when he makes this throw, and the hit doesn't
come from his blind side, but because he was turned
(03:23):
and really throwing towards the left corner, he didn't really
seem like he had any peripheral vision on his right side.
He gets hit, goes down and again immediately grabs the
area right under his knee in his calf and again
they're still in commercial right now. And now who knows
what happens mac Jones, you know, off the field right now.
(03:46):
It is fourth and goal anyway, so he was leaving
the field. He is now sitting on the bench. Don't
know how he got off, don't know if he was
helped off. Apparently it wasn't the cart taking him off,
so that's good news. So he is sitting on the
bench right now. Forty nine is going to kick a
field goal that could give him a twenty to seven
lead here midway through the third quarterfield goal is up
(04:06):
and good, and you know, good thoughts for mac Jones.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Maybe he is okay.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
The fact that he is sitting on the sideline and
eating some snacks tells me that maybe he's gonna be okay.
We're watching the replay again. He looks to the left
and he throws He's just hit and yeah, it doesn't
seem like there's anything weird. I'm looking at his knee,
I'm looking at his leg. It doesn't seem like there's
anything weird that happened on this play.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
He kind of.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Gets hit and there's no real twisting because he gets
hit and he goes up in the air a little bit,
so there's no planting of the foot and the twisting
of one of them again. He just goes down and
grabs it and gets helped up and kind of jogs off,
so hopefully he's gonna be okay again. This is all
coming back from commercial right now, from the game. Yeah,
once it went to a commercial break, it just like
(04:53):
that pause. It's like one of the later Harry Potter
movies where everything goes black.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
What the hell happened? I don't know, I don't know,
and then suddenly there's a flash of light. In this case,
we get the replay of him running off and now
he's sitting next to Adrian Martinez, who would be the
next man up, the quarterback out of Kansas State from
a couple of years. Hence, ex jet Adrian Martinez, X
jet now good x jet now good. Well you know
what six degrees of separation or in this case, just
(05:21):
go to San Francisco with some competence coaching. But we'll
see the fact that he did jog off on his
own power is a very good sign because I'm sure
a lot of people holding their breath because you got
some great drives tonight, right, mac Jones acquitting himself quite
nicely and into that drive. They've held the ball for
(05:41):
at least eleven minutes more than the Rams to this point,
moving it up and down the field. But yeah, he'll
get his snack and in theory, we get him back
out onto the field in their next possession. And I
feel like they went to commercial really fast. Yeah they did.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Mac Jones is down, he's grabbing the back of it's
a bet and they went tommercial right away. It's like, well,
usually you stay on that for a little bit. This
is a quarterback. This is a pretty big story. And
I said, we're gonna go to commercial right away. And
we come back and he's already off the field. I'm like, hey,
that's a storyline. You kind of have to follow, like you,
but you can follow it and pay some mills.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, I mean, come on, he got he got the
promotion for the new Jesse Williams shut. No one said
that he was in the stadium Jesse Williams, that Dada
used to be on uh graz Anatomy. Yeah there is.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I I don't know, I don't think it like it's
it's Amazon, So you're you're you're not watching Lenny or
you're not flipping around like I think you could have
stayed with that story a little bit longer to let
us say, how is it all of a sudden they
come back and he's sitting on the bench. Yeah, but
you get some in house promotion done. Uh, you get
because you have.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Another six minutes in the third quarter plus all of
the fourth to figure out what's going on with Mac
Jones again, because you're on Amazon. Sure, anybody that's committed
to the game, they're watching it on Amazon. You're a
captive audience.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Now since Mac Jones looks like he's gonna be okay,
all right, let's let let's let's go here before we
get to Red Sox Yankees. This is great news for
Kyle Shanahan as the quarterback whisper. You know, he's always
had the reputation with the great offensive coach in the NFL.
I thought for a few years there there's no better
coach in the NFL. Bringing guys in they all succeed
(07:20):
like kind of like a like what Sean McVay does.
To a different extent. Whoever comes in and plays quarterback
plays well all these different things. So great for Kyle Shanahan,
great for Mac Jones because Mac Jones has been playing
again incredibly well. He played really well when he first
filled in, and now you had perty get dinged up
again last week, and now he's playing even better tonight
(07:40):
against a great defense. Not against a good defense, against
a great defense. Mac Jones has been hitting all of
the plays and he's got them with a two touchdown lead. Right,
Mac Jones, this is the best I've seen Mac Jones
play in years. Right, So good for Mac Jones, good
for Kyle shann And you get away.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
From Matt Patrician.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
The pencil behind that helps when your defensive coordinator is
not calling plays that will really help you.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I mean, you want to talk about a guy who's
done wrong. We've talked about this at nausea. But for
folks new to the show, thanks for coming in. Mac
Joe's one of those guys that I always thought just
got a raw deal. You had a coach who was
bitter in the final throws of his run there in
New England in Bill Belichick, and he did him no
favors after that rookie season. With every decision he made
(08:27):
in terms of that coaching staff and how they operated.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
He It's almost like Belichick knew it was gonna end
badly with the Patriots. So I'm just gonna tank and
I'm gonna leave the cupboard as bare as I possibly
can for whoever's coming in to get this job next.
I'm not gonna make sure that the guy coming in
is gonna Hey, guess what great season, Gray, I got
a great roster here. Bill Belichick left the cabinet. Let
(08:51):
the cabinet full for you. You're gonna be really, really good. No, no, no,
I'm making sure I'm drafting guys in the first round
that are at small schools and nobody's ever heard of. Yeah,
gonna make sure there is no talent on this team there.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Take that offensive lineman who I don't I don't think
any of those their last draft picks are really on
the ross.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You are. You are really gonna be building up right
from the bottom. Right when you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Get to the bottom, you go back to the top.
I mean, they're they're interesting. Now, Drake May looks like
a player and then and they've got some good things going.
But for Mac Jones, he's found new life here as
part of the San Francisco forty nine ers coming into
the week, a lot of question marks of who is
going to be playing with him? And right now you've
got Kendrick Bourne establishing his identity.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now here's the thing and here, now here's the beer takeaway.
You're like, how many people picked up Kendrick Bourne today
and just put him in their lineup in fantasy?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Well? Today you had due? All right, Like early in
the week we do the the recap of the weeks,
like we have no idea for Thursday night, who's actually
gonna be active? So it's McCaffrey and I guess the
speculative play would be, yeah, there's Kendrick Bourne.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
H But this is that here you want your big
because now it looks like, yeah, it looks like he's okay,
Now you got your big hot take.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Did you really need to pay brock Purty? Did you
really need to go brocolypse? Did you did you overpay
a guy?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Because clearly lots of guys can work in this offense.
This is not to say brock Purty's not played well.
He has played well. But when everybody you've brought in
has played well in this offense, Okay, was brock Purty
that special? Or was brock Purty a guy that achieved
when he had great playmakers? Brock Purty was look at
some of the guys the Niners been trotting out the
(10:33):
last year's like a prime George Kittle, Ayuk Deebo in
his prime, the trade for Christian McCaffrey. Right, Jimmy Garoppolo
got to it a super Bowl in an NFC championship game. Right,
brock Purty got to a super Bowl, like whoever you
bring out there.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And I get that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's a really difficult message to send to say, hey,
we can have anybody come in to play quarterback. But man,
when you can have almost anybody come in to play quarterback,
that's a big advantage for you. Right, And not the
brock Pery not saying at all they shouldn't have. You know,
he doesn't deserve the money. He played well. But you
see clearly here Mac Jones played really well too. And
mac Jones has first round pedigree coming out of Alabama. Really,
(11:08):
I look at this and I go, man, are we
sure the Niners had to go all in on brock
Party and do this. Are we sure that they when
they were faced with what do we do in this situation?
Are we sure the Niners made the right call giving
brock Party all this money instead of here's mac Jones
for two years and twenty million and guess what, it's
the same offense.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Hot take five years to sixty five one hundred and
eighty one million dollars guaranteed signed in May of twenty
twenty five. That takes him through the twenty twenty nine season.
Of course, then we start getting into all right, when
when does this guaranteed money dissipate? When like we start
playing that game of the fuzzy math with in a
(11:49):
contract in terms of guarantees and out clauses and everything else. Yeah,
you know me, I don't want to pay a guy
until I have to, which is probably not the wisest
thing to say when you got a work on your
own deals. Yeah, but it's also that reality of until
I have to give a guy a multi year deal,
I'll play the game of the franchise tag. That's what
(12:11):
it's there for. And the forty nine Ers weren't in
a position where they had any other guy that they
had to play that game with, So you could have
gone down that road with Purdy, they chose to decide
to give him the multi year high leverage extension. I
guess the void years not until twenty thirty one. At
(12:32):
that point we're into the end of these giant balloon payments.
So yeah, you're you're kind of hamstrung. Fortunately you're not
paying Matt Jones a ton of money, so that's good.
The game you're going to be playing is dollar cost
averaging with a lower end backup here. You know, Mac
Jones looking to make himself some cash and get himself
(12:55):
another opportunity by playing well in Purdy's absence. I mean,
really good thing.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Everybody Kyle Shanahan's had a quarterback that's been able to
stay in light has played pretty well, right. Garoppolo played well, right,
Garoppolo played well. Trey Lance could never get on the
on the field right well. Unfortunately he came out.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
He played that game against the Bears in what was
one of the worst field conditions and weather circumstances that
we've seen, uh this side of Caddy Shack, and then
he got hurt and that was the end of his opportunity,
right next man up, you never see the field again
because we're long past the day of you can't lose
(13:35):
a job dune to injury. Other guy comes in and
plays really well. Guess what good luck I'd be. But
that was a guy he would have gotten in, right.
He sat for a while, then they got the job,
and he got hurt very early. Again, that's it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And then Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt again, and okay, they
broke glass in case emergency, and brock perty comes in
and he plays pretty well.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Did the job everybody they did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
They've done a great job finding quarterbacks for this offense, right,
They've done a great job findal quarterbacks to come in
and play. But really, I mean, I get that, Hey,
brock Purty's been good, he's been this, but wow, man,
that's a lot of money to pay a guy when
you are trying to revamp your roster a little bit
and stay competitive, and you see mac Jones and you go, man,
I know it's only been a couple of games, but
(14:17):
did we really have to go crazy for brock Purty?
Could we have waited a little bit? Could we have
waited to pay him? Could we have seen if something
else happened, you know, I mean who knows.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I mean you you get in on this, and that's
that's a big chunk of change.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You paid party Top seven, Top eight money. You know,
that's a really that you know, and this is something
you're now you're hooked into for a long time. And
not that brock Purty doesn't perform, that's not my point.
My point is that if if you can say, okay,
you have X amount of money to spend on your team, right,
and you've had to let a lot of guys go
in the last calendar year old and they were expensive, right,
(14:52):
so you need money. If you have someone that you've
got to pay two hundred and sixty million dollars to
over the course of five years, that's a lot chunk
of change. Or you could pay a guy two years
and ten million for the next couple of years, and
then just think of all the other players you could
bring in, Think of all the talent you can bring in,
you can put around it simply because hey, the offense
(15:13):
is better when you can bring more weapons in and
even more in the in the Matt Jones category, here
is that Mac Jones is playing like this, and these
are probably the worst weapons that the Niners have had
in the run of the last years, because guys are
hurt or ineffective and you're starting, oh look, no Pierce
all tonight, right, I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, fortunately, these are the guys he was working with. Yeah,
it just happenstance. The guys he's been running on the
second team with are all the guys that are elevated
to the ones yeah today, right, you know, you look
at Kendrick Bourne and the other guys that are making
some hey here. Yeah, I would have franchised him, probably
based on where where the statistical valuation was, and then
(15:58):
tried to play it on the cheap. When you bring
in a mac Jones and see if you can't make
that work for a year, gives you another year to
make the decision. Especially with where the forty nine ers are,
We're talking about a lot of guys that are older
and towards the end of their run. Because the curiosity
after this, I mean, how many years does Trent Williams
have left? How many years does George Kittle? Like, these
(16:19):
are guys at the end of their run. So it
was let's get the band back together, but paying your quarterback.
I mean you would have paid them top dollar on
the franchise tag. So in the end you would have
ended up at least for this year in the same boat. Yeah,
you just wouldn't have been pot committed, right, It would
have been one and now, because that's what it is.
It's not just this year. It's looking at Okay, what
got the year after this year, after that year after that? Well,
(16:41):
all of a sudden that becomes yeah, now you're pot
committed as you have to revamp in a division that
has really done a good job of getting young and
working on the cheap. Now, obviously Seattle paid Sam Darnold,
but they're not paying a lot of other guys. Right,
The defense is young, aggressive and on the cheap, all
looking to get paid for the rams. We've watched how
(17:02):
they've over hauled a bunch of stuff. You've got a
couple of guys making money, but for the most part,
again guys on their first deals. As you move forward,
so more flexibility to decide where they want to dispense
those funds. With the forty nine ers, you're now committed
at the number one slot when you've got a lot
of guys aging out at key positions.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And Matt Jones is back out there for the forty
nine Ers. Now their next drive now just a six
point lead as Matthew Stafford has taken the Rams down
a short touchdown pass to Puka Nakua, making a twenty
fourteen game three minutes to go in the third.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Lightning fast drive on that one man that you want
to talk about quick inefficiency, seven plays, sixty nine yards
less than three minutes off.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The clock, the Rams deciding Okay, enough is enough. Okay,
we should be up by twelve points in this one.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Enough is enough. The forty nine Ers fans are really
getting loud here and we can't pump in enough noise
on our side. I'm sorry, did I say the QUI
part out loud?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We'll have more on this game coming up, but today
is also a huge day in Major League Baseball. The
Yankees are counting outs to move on to the next
round of the playoffs. The Tigers have moved on, the
Cubs have moved on. A big day in baseball will
tell you the big change that I can't wait for
baseball to get. Coming up next right here, Jason and

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, I am okay.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
After what I just saw in the Yankees Red Sox game,
I now think the Yankees are gonna win the World Series.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
It's a team of death to maytimes.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Sometimes something happens and I think they're going to win
the World On the anniversary a Bucky bleeping Dead who
closed his eyes and swung. Yankees lead the Red Sox
for nothing as they're batting in the bottom of the
eighth inning. Okay, so this game they've been in control
since they jumped all over early A little.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Bit earlier in the game. Dj that fourth inning that
wouldn't end. It felt like an eighth inning at the
Dodger was I mean, I was just watching it going.
This game has been going three and a half hours.
We're in the bottom of the fourth inning. H for
the second out.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
In the top of the eighth inning, Jaron Duran hits
a pop foul along the third base side. Ryan McMahon,
who is in at third base for the Yankees, goes
all the way to the dugout and again it's kind
of poetic justice that this happens again against the Red Sox.
(20:22):
He gets all the way up to the rim of
the dugout, reaches over to make the catch on the pop,
and he does a complete flip over onto his back
after making the play. And kudos to all the Red
Sox players who stood there and cushioned his fall for
him so he wouldn't get hurt. It's the new Jeter play.
He makes, the new Jeter plan. When I tell the
(20:42):
Jeter play, you think, okay, wait, there is the flip
against the A's oh no, going into the stands against
the Red Sox. It's the new Jeter play, and in this, honestly,
it's probably a bigger degree of danger because he flips
completely over like this is one of those he goes over,
makes the catch and he flips over straight. He's okay,
he comes out with the ball. Yankee stadium goes crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
It was like he was doing the bars in the Olympics.
I mean, I think Yike's gonna win the World Series. Now,
I think they're gonna win the World Series. Now, I
did forget it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Dodgers have been great, all the home runs, everything's got,
all the dramas that Yankee's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The World Series. He get his sick a few bars
of the pick of Destiny. I got it because this
was the catch of destiny. This poor guy, released from
all these years of anguish in Colorado, comes here. He's
only hitting two fourteen, doesn't matter, yeah, twenty home runs
and he makes this play and they immediately start panning
the reaction of all of his teammates in the field.
And I don't think I've seen outside of the movie
(21:38):
smile smile too or anything Joker related guys with grins
on their faces. That wide it's a new Jeter play.
The new game is absolutely a new Kaan Like he
goes over the bar, It's like, please be okay. I
don't care whether you caught the ball or not. It's
the will he emerge, and yes he did.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Uh you want to go back. I want to say
that play was about twenty years ago, right, That Jeter
play was about twenty years ago because it was a
regular season game, right, because I remember the play, so
I remember the play vividly because it's the play that
got no more. Garcia Para traded to the Dodgers because
the Red Sox were not thrilled with Garcia Para and
(22:21):
he wasn't. He wasn't in the lineup, and he was
he was hurt. And I remember the whole story was
that hey was was Garcia Para really hurt? Well, you
know what kind of guy was he? And and you know,
he was someone who came up and with Boston, I'm like,
oh my god, this guy's going to be a legend.
He's going to the Hall of Fame. He's a new
Ted Williams. But he started to fall out of favor
a little bit, and he was hurt and he didn't know, like, hey,
(22:42):
is he tough enough to make a play. And he
was out of the game that night, and he wasn't
playing that night. And then Jeter makes that play July first, Okay,
two thousand and four. Okay, Jeter makes that so twenty
years ago. So Jeter makes that play going into the stands,
which you've seen a million times, and I remember the story.
All the Red Sox players are like, that's what this
(23:03):
guy is doing for a July game against us. He
wants to win so bad. And then after that, after
he made that play, Garcia Para went to the rest
that I can go in and they said, no, we
don't need you to night. And I think that you
got traded the next day. Look up Garcia part I
think he got traded the next day or the day
after that, like he would like they when they saw
(23:24):
that play, Jeter making that play, that got Garcia Para traded.
I'm pretty I'm pretty sure that's how it was.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
He was traded at the end of that month. Okay,
So July first, that happened. Trot Nixon hit the ball
July thirty first, was when he was traded to the coach. Okay,
so so I'm close on the timeline. Red Sox acquired
Orlando Cabrera and Doug men Kevitch in exchange for Garcia
Para Matt Merton, and then the Red Sox go on
(23:52):
to win the two.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Kavich who had the ball, the World Series ball that's
worth like millions and millions of dollars, and he was like,
wouldn't give it to anybody he should, like, I don't
understand how that that that always worked, that the first
baseman was able to walk off with the ball. It's
like it seemed like someone in the clubhouse, whether it's
the manager or the owner or GM, comes down and
(24:15):
says ours, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, mine, I caught
I caught it. I get to keep in mind, don't
you want to get it?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, no, good for him, I don't, And good for
every first basement that did it.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Canerco, all those guys, every everyone of hold on to
that ball when you celebrate. Don't throw your glove up
or put the ball in your back pocket, put the
decoy ball out there and whatever you need to do.
But yeah, all of that to say, yeah, man, Kevich. Uh,
good job by him. But yeah for nomar Garcia par
that was the end of his run. Yeah. Yeah. This
was a full month later at the trade deadline calling
(24:48):
that that was that, that was that was. I remember
like he went and said I can go and they
said no, we're good tonight. And then and then they
try to this day. I always remember the two thousand
and five trading cards when you'd open a pack and
you get a Nomar Garcia. Him in the Cubs uniform
just looks so odd. It made no sense.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Uh, it's it's again, the new Jeter play, right, the
new Jeter player.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Now, really the Yankees are That was amazing. Now I'm
gonna have to watch the Yankees win. It really was, though,
I mean, tragg it down. You got a four nothing
lead and say nothing. I mean, you know, we haven't
talked about him yet, but I mean we talked, you know,
behind the scenes. Coming in. It's like you got a
couple of young pitchers. You have no idea what you're
gonna expect in this game.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
They're gonna sweep Toronto, They're gonna beat the Tigers in
the A l c S.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
They're gonna go gonna beat the Dodgers in the World Series.
Handle in the World Series. Do they do it because
the Dodgers have problems fielding the baseball? Just oskar Andes
or something. They hit every ball to like it's a
softball game. Yeah, yeah, at that? Why why he really
changed his stance for this World Series? That guy playing
(25:50):
right field? And why is he pointing his bat at Taoskarnando?
You know who could do that?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Guy you're looking at right now, it's allful could just
spray the ball into Okay, no, I could just I
could just Oh that right fielder, he's playing a little
too shallow, I'm a hit over his head for a
home run.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
And I could do it. How you do it? I
was you feel it? I could do it. I feel
like we're watching the episode of Married with Children when
Al's exiled to uh, you know, softball leagues and he's
out there. It's like, yeah, he's playing too shallow. Yep
is that I can't be him. I'll it's gonna hit
over your head. I'm gonna sometimes I would just have
to take a step. Sometimes I'd shift my feet and
tired like it was tennis, and I'm going this ball
(26:27):
is this ball is over your head and you are
not gonna get it. That's the last time. And it's
and it's it's just a guy to oh yeah, I
think I'm gonna play here. Yeah, okay, good luck, this
is gonna be this is gonna be a three run homer.
And that's the last time you're gonna play. You're gonna
play in that much. That's it. Man, I could hit.
The kids gonna make it. I could hit. I could rake.
I hit nine hundred some years in softball. I was
so good. I could ring.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I was mister nine hundred man like mister three thousand,
I'm mister, I'm mister nine hundred.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
One of the most underrated movies. Never saw the documentary
mister nine hundred me on FS one. You never saw that.
They ran that a few years ago. Was it a parody?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:01):
No, the whole thing was.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Whole documentary on me hitting nine hundred. You know, I
mean it was yeah, I mean making three outs in
the whole season.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
You didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Was this in one of your prior lives? If you
knew this is before I started doing as before I
started doing radio. Because once once I started doing radio
for a living, I had to stop playing.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
So I had to be mister nine hundred in predictions.
That's because you're saying.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's because all the games were at night during the week,
and I'm like, once I started doing radio, I'm like, okay,
I'm working at night during the week, so okay, I'm done.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
It Never make you think, you know, in the next
discussions that you'd want to get away from working at
night so you can go play softball again. Here's the thing,
go to a concert to make me your kid.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
No, Actually, the schedule was great because once we had
Zoe was great because I could see her all day. Look,
she's sleeping at night and everything, going to bed early stare.
Yeah that was when she was little. But but now
but now she's busy. That doesn't matter. Twenty four to seven,
she's busy. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
But uh, now I'm to say this, like here, here,
here's the thing is that you know, this is you know,
but I got to tell the truth. Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I won a lot, I played really well, won a
lot of championships. I did walk off the softball field thinking,
h I left stuff out there. No, I won a lot,
We won a lot of titles, won a lot.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Everything you want to manage some young kids to have
the great degree of success. Imagine, Well, I'm just saying
that's a bunch of kids. All these the kids. I'm saying,
all these kids, all these kids I've managed, you sport.
They're all going to college on scholarships. They're all saying
Coach Jason, thank you. They're all going top level D one.
I sent five kids to Oklahoma softball last year alone. Okay,
(28:30):
I didn't really do that, but I mean that's kind
of the impact. I felt like, I again in the
universe in your head. Wow, uh stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I mean, I mean, I mean, look, there's other baseball
stuff to get to, but that Ryan McMahon play you
are going to see over and over and over. And
I'm telling you now, the Yankee just understand, the Yankees
are gonna win.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
The World Series. Just get so you get it out now.
I know you're gonna be upset. Well, we still have
two more rounds to go to get to the World Yea,
it doesn't matter. There's a lot of time here winning
the World a lot of games. Yankees. I see that
and I go, yeah, yep, yep, yep, yeah, yeah, yeap.
Yankees are going to the World series. Yank is gonna win.
It's funny you channel Al del Vechio something I didn't
know today. Ye yeah, what right. I've got my my playlist,
(29:16):
you know me. I'm a big Broadway with my kids.
Love to go to to plays at all. You'll be swell,
you'll be and the Beast Original World on Broadway production
starts playing. You know who played Maurice ethel Rman Tom Bosley?
Really yeah? Tom Bosley from Happy Days? Okay? Did was
(29:38):
originally Maurice? Okay? Was Marion Ross? Uh No? I had
nothing to do with it, but it was his first
time out of Broadway. Stran in their shortcake Not there okay?
No Tom wopat no uh Donnie, no no no, I'm
bringing in to Anson Williams. Is somehow I can play
(30:01):
in Anson Williams with Tom wopant Anton Williams to run
over the car and and and and get in without
opening the car door. He would press the hornet, just
like the Duke of Hazard. He'd press That's what he did.
The way we got Donny.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Most Wayland Jennings was the ballad beer and he would say,
I don't know how Richie Cunningham is going to get
out of this one one of.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Those things where the synapses don't fire. I'm picturing Anson
Williams and I say, Tom Wopat, how about that Happy Days?
This is coming in Luke Duke walking in the house.
That might have worked. I mean they both were singers,
Boss Hog buying the hardware store from Tom Bosley, putting
him out of work, and all you want to talk
(30:45):
about seventies collision? Right then Mosco walks in and goes,
are you sure they didn't battle on the Battle of
the Network Stars. At some point Rosico walks in with flash,
oh flash either way. Yeah, Tom Bosley, ah my goodness,
was retired and suddenly.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Was the dead, digging digging that, digging Tom moltat on
on Happy Days to digging that man.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
You know what, Sometimes the synapses don't fire. I went,
Tom Bosley had Tom on the brain and it it
just kept firing. Couldn't just let it go? No, no, no,
you gotta make it a bit and try to make
me look stupid. So Blake, you said it was funny.
It was funny. I made it funny. It didn't make
it look step. I thought it was funny that Tom
Bosley was on the stage in Beauty of the Beast.
(31:31):
I really think Marion Ross's Missus Potts would have been
a little bit better. But that's all I mean, like
stage done, casting.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Time to find out what's trending right now in the
wide world of sports. And someone who's been called the Gaston.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Sports Radio guest star because in wrestling, no one quite
bites like it's.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Even if I'm not wrestling.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
You know what I'm saying, don't.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Make that a drop. Make that a drop. But I can't.
I can't be guessed on. I can't eat all the
raw eggs.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
That was quick, That was quick. Thank you. He's especially good.
Expect alrag.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
They're well done, very well done. Oh guys, we got
an NFC West showdown between the forty nine ers and
the Rams. I know you're like showdown, but everybody's hurt.
For the forty nine ers, there's been a lot of
plugging in for them, and the Rams have tied the
game as Matthew Stafford has thrown his third touchdown pass
of the game, the second one to Kyra and Williams.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
So it's a tie game. Why because the extra point
was blocked.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
By the Niners, so they are tied at twenty apiece,
still about ten minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
But Matthew Stafford twenty one of thirty one two hundred
and seventy five yards and three touchdowns. Mac Jones is
twenty two of thirty two for two hundred and thirty
five yards and two touchdowns. Jason and Harmon, you guys
were talking about him his injury going down.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
They're saying he was just cramping.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
After all that's been said and done, so he seems
to be okay. Yeah, when it comes to base ball, well,
we are in the top of the ninth inning in
the Bronx Yankees. One more out and they will eliminate
the Boston Red Sox. They're upright now, four is zero.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
Their pitcher, Cam Schlittler, pitched eight innings, gave up five hits,
no runs, no walks, twelve strikeouts, the most for a
Yankees pitcher in their postseason day was again, who was it?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I don't want Cam s I got it exactly know
she got it right. Once it's in the system. From
now on, you just point out, you say, all right,
I'm not doing it again because by the way career
long last time out against the Orioles. See what seven
innings and then he goes eight here, Yeah, insane.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
The reason I mentioned that is because I know Monty said,
I know I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bles. She didn't look
at you, she didn't look at her sheet. It's colder
being a professional. Who is it against cam s?

Jennifer Jerry cam r kells exactly.
Speaker 6 (34:07):

Speaker 3 (34:09):
And it is official.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
The Yankees have eliminated the Red Sox. They are headed
to the Alds. Yankees move on shutting out Boston for zero.
What happened earlier today when it came to the swell
Card Events or these Wildcard series of baseball. The Cubs
are advancing to the NLDS for the first time since
twenty seventeen. They're gonna face the Milwaukee Brewers after defeating
(34:31):

Speaker 8 (35:33):
The first pitcher durand swung on a little looper down
the left down the third day side. Look at me,
I don't get hurt. DVMC man catches and falls into
the dugout. They did a total backflip and McMahon is nothing.
It's good to go. Wow, what to play? They went
full speed into the third base dugout and flipped over
(35:55):
the rail and baite the catch.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yankees Radio work on the call. Yes, they're gonna win
the World Series. Now they're going to win the World.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Well, put that out in the We're gonna make all
our Dodger friends now and the other is anybody but them.
They're a team of destiny. They're going to win. But
I mean, I Walt HadAM dead and buried yesterday. Yeah
he quit, Yeah, yeah, he can't jump back on the
seventh inning last night.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
He says that next year, Dad, it's three to three
and the seventh that a you're talking about?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Wait the Red Sox, A're gonna do things like your
squad normally does and hand it back to you.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
An incredible play by Ryan mcmammal of more on this
game coming up in a few minutes. The Yankees shut
out the Red Sox for nothing. They move on to
the next round of the playoffs. But it's time now
for the co play of the day, brought to you
by tire Rack. For over forty years, Tyreck's been uping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive. Shipped fast and free backed by free Road,
has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
(36:54):
Tiraq dot com is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
When you have a play that becomes the play of
a game and ushers in a new era in Major
League baseball, Well, you get to be the play of
the day and.
Speaker 9 (37:08):
Two Keller deals Bogart's takes. Oh, it was low when
he got wrung up, pitch was gown and really, for
the first time all game home play umpire DJ Raybird
missed one big time.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Bogarts gave him a piece of it.
Speaker 9 (37:23):
And now Mike Shilt out there yelling at him as
he escorts Bogart's away.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Cubs Radio Network on the call, why is a strikeout
of Xander Bogart's the play of the day. Cubs and
Padres in an elimination game. Cubs are up three nothing
top of the ninth inning. Padres got a home run
to start the ninth inning. They start rallying on a
three to two pitch that is clearly not even close
to the strike zone.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Is awful.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Bogert's low awful. One of the worst calls you will
ever see. And I'm being kind, it was an awful call.
So instead of runner at first base, nobody out, Bogarts
is out. Makes a big deal because Keller then hits
the next two batters. Hey hits two guys are runners
at first and second and okay, Cubs go to the bullpen.
(38:08):
Everything gets calmed down a little bit, and they get
out of the inning. They win the game three to one.
A strikeout and a fly out to center field ends
the game. Cubs move on to the next round of
the playoffs. But it's a huge difference between first and second,
one out and bases loaded and nobody out when you're
down two runs now obviously difference.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Well obviously depending on how that pitch goes it. You
may you may not be pitching inside. Now you hit
a guy. The fact that you hit a guy so
badly twice and had to be pulled out of the
game like makes me think that, okay, probably when bases
loaded down, maybe it goes away. But either way, it
takes what could be the fire starter to an inning off.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
You flip that inning like that inning could have ended.
It really could have ended much differently for the Padres.
They could have still been playing going on. This is
why I say the ABS challenge system that we're getting
next year can't get here fast enough, because that would
have been challenged. It would have been ball four and
things would have been different for the Padres. And it's
it's not so much when hey, when you miss something,
(39:08):
that's just off the box or just off or just
bisects the box a little bit. Okay, when you miss
by that much, when you can see with the naked eye,
when they show you the center field replay, that's not
even close. You know how bad of a call that is.
And we have the technology to get stuff like that, right,
it should have been here already, but.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Now we're getting it next year. It's too late for
the Padres.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
But when I saw that play, I said, ABS can't
get here fast enough.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
It really can't. It was kind of interesting, right, I'm
in the drive on the way up here into the
Fox Sports Radio studios. Game is on, and we've got that,
We've got Thursday Night football, and then I've got our
friends down at our iHeart affiliate in San Diego who
are watching and living and dying with every pitch. And
(39:54):
you would have thought someone just stole their dog. Yeah,
du At the end of that, it was awful.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
It was a if I'm a Padre fan at that point,
I'm rooty for going out one, two, three, so it
doesn't effect Oh no, no, we put the tying runs
a second and third with two outs. Just a miserable
end to a series. And Rob Bamford going excellent. More
big baseball and huge drama in the NFL Thursday Night game.
Speaker 3 (40:19):

channel at Jason Smith Show on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It is there for you right now.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well, sometimes you get planned out to do a show
and you get ideas in your head and you're gonna
you're gonna talk about it. Okay, we're gonna starr with
the Red Sox and the Yankees, get to a little
bit of the forty nine ers, and then, as I
was telling you about our YouTube channel, yeah, this just happened.
The forty nine Ers, who are facing a fourth and
(00:55):
goal situation right now against the Rams on a day
where Mac Jones has been having an unbelievable day. Jones
throws incomplete on third down. He's hit from the side,
just a normal, a normal hit right, nothing out out
of the out of the realm, and Mac Jones goes
(01:18):
to the ground, screaming in pain. He is holding his
left calf area, just below his knee. Now, there was
no you'll see this video and again this is this
is twenty seconds old.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Uh, there's no cringiness, there's no it bent one way,
it didn't go the other. It almost looked like a
non contact injury on a contact play, if if that
makes sense, because he gets hit, he goes down and
there's nothing dirty about the hit. There's nothing that tells you,
oh man, this is he throws incomplete. He immediately grabs
just below his knee, right right in his calf area.
(01:54):
Medical personnel are out there to help him. You can
see the anguish on his face. And they have just
gone to commercial, and all of a sudden, now everything
we're talking about tonight, everything we had planned, all the
baseball everything, now Mac Jones, who was playing incredibly well tonight,
and there were all kinds of big hot takes we
had about the Niners and their quarterback situation is did
(02:15):
you overpay Brock Purdy and all.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Now suddenly Mac Jones one play, one incomplete pass to
the ground in a lot of pain, and now you
have no idea what's going to happen from here on out.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, Young comes off the edge and that tackle just
might as well have not moved like he just looked
like a statue as Young ran past him and he's
trying to check him before he gets to mac Jones.
Jones gets the ball off. I don't know as we're
watching it whether is Cleet gets caught before he gets contacted,
like slightly, just enough to where there's a tweak, But
(02:50):
either way, he's in anguish, laying on the ground. Question
of whether there should have been a flag on the
play as the ball goes, but that's so secondary QB.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Look, he comes in and the way the play is
is he comes off the edge and mac Jones is
looking to throw to the to the left corner of
the end zone and he throws and he's hit split
second after he gets rid of the ball. Not nothing
that would warrant a penalty, nothing out worn anything, but
he is facing that way. He is facing to the
left when he makes this throw, and the hit doesn't
come from his blind side, but because he was turned
(03:23):
and really throwing towards the left corner, he didn't really
seem like he had any peripheral vision on his right side.
He gets hit, goes down and again immediately grabs the
area right under his knee in his calf and again
they're still in commercial right now. And now who knows
what happens mac Jones, you know, off the field right now.
(03:46):
It is fourth and goal anyway, so he was leaving
the field. He is now sitting on the bench. Don't
know how he got off, don't know if he was
helped off. Apparently it wasn't the cart taking him off,
so that's good news. So he is sitting on the
bench right now. Forty nine is going to kick a
field goal that could give him a twenty to seven
lead here midway through the third quarterfield goal is up
(04:06):
and good, and you know, good thoughts for mac Jones.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Maybe he is okay.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
The fact that he is sitting on the sideline and
eating some snacks tells me that maybe he's gonna be okay.
We're watching the replay again. He looks to the left
and he throws He's just hit and yeah, it doesn't
seem like there's anything weird. I'm looking at his knee,
I'm looking at his leg. It doesn't seem like there's
anything weird that happened on this play.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
He kind of.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Gets hit and there's no real twisting because he gets
hit and he goes up in the air a little bit,
so there's no planting of the foot and the twisting
of one of them again. He just goes down and
grabs it and gets helped up and kind of jogs off,
so hopefully he's gonna be okay again. This is all
coming back from commercial right now, from the game. Yeah,
once it went to a commercial break, it just like
(04:53):
that pause. It's like one of the later Harry Potter
movies where everything goes black.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
What the hell happened? I don't know, I don't know,
and then suddenly there's a flash of light. In this case,
we get the replay of him running off and now
he's sitting next to Adrian Martinez, who would be the
next man up, the quarterback out of Kansas State from
a couple of years. Hence, ex jet Adrian Martinez, X
jet now good x jet now good. Well you know
what six degrees of separation or in this case, just
(05:21):
go to San Francisco with some competence coaching. But we'll
see the fact that he did jog off on his
own power is a very good sign because I'm sure
a lot of people holding their breath because you got
some great drives tonight, right, mac Jones acquitting himself quite
nicely and into that drive. They've held the ball for
(05:41):
at least eleven minutes more than the Rams to this point,
moving it up and down the field. But yeah, he'll
get his snack and in theory, we get him back
out onto the field in their next possession. And I
feel like they went to commercial really fast. Yeah they did.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Mac Jones is down, he's grabbing the back of it's
a bet and they went tommercial right away. It's like, well,
usually you stay on that for a little bit. This
is a quarterback. This is a pretty big story. And
I said, we're gonna go to commercial right away. And
we come back and he's already off the field. I'm like, hey,
that's a storyline. You kind of have to follow, like you,
but you can follow it and pay some mills.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, I mean, come on, he got he got the
promotion for the new Jesse Williams shut. No one said
that he was in the stadium Jesse Williams, that Dada
used to be on uh graz Anatomy. Yeah there is.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I I don't know, I don't think it like it's
it's Amazon, So you're you're you're not watching Lenny or
you're not flipping around like I think you could have
stayed with that story a little bit longer to let
us say, how is it all of a sudden they
come back and he's sitting on the bench. Yeah, but
you get some in house promotion done. Uh, you get
because you have.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Another six minutes in the third quarter plus all of
the fourth to figure out what's going on with Mac
Jones again, because you're on Amazon. Sure, anybody that's committed
to the game, they're watching it on Amazon. You're a
captive audience.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Now since Mac Jones looks like he's gonna be okay,
all right, let's let let's let's go here before we
get to Red Sox Yankees. This is great news for
Kyle Shanahan as the quarterback whisper. You know, he's always
had the reputation with the great offensive coach in the NFL.
I thought for a few years there there's no better
coach in the NFL. Bringing guys in they all succeed
(07:20):
like kind of like a like what Sean McVay does.
To a different extent. Whoever comes in and plays quarterback
plays well all these different things. So great for Kyle Shanahan,
great for Mac Jones because Mac Jones has been playing
again incredibly well. He played really well when he first
filled in, and now you had perty get dinged up
again last week, and now he's playing even better tonight
(07:40):
against a great defense. Not against a good defense, against
a great defense. Mac Jones has been hitting all of
the plays and he's got them with a two touchdown lead. Right,
Mac Jones, this is the best I've seen Mac Jones
play in years. Right, So good for Mac Jones, good
for Kyle shann And you get away.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
From Matt Patrician.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
The pencil behind that helps when your defensive coordinator is
not calling plays that will really help you.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I mean, you want to talk about a guy who's
done wrong. We've talked about this at nausea. But for
folks new to the show, thanks for coming in. Mac
Joe's one of those guys that I always thought just
got a raw deal. You had a coach who was
bitter in the final throws of his run there in
New England in Bill Belichick, and he did him no
favors after that rookie season. With every decision he made
(08:27):
in terms of that coaching staff and how they operated.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
He It's almost like Belichick knew it was gonna end
badly with the Patriots. So I'm just gonna tank and
I'm gonna leave the cupboard as bare as I possibly
can for whoever's coming in to get this job next.
I'm not gonna make sure that the guy coming in
is gonna Hey, guess what great season, Gray, I got
a great roster here. Bill Belichick left the cabinet. Let
(08:51):
the cabinet full for you. You're gonna be really, really good. No, no, no,
I'm making sure I'm drafting guys in the first round
that are at small schools and nobody's ever heard of. Yeah,
gonna make sure there is no talent on this team there.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Take that offensive lineman who I don't I don't think
any of those their last draft picks are really on
the ross.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You are. You are really gonna be building up right
from the bottom. Right when you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Get to the bottom, you go back to the top.
I mean, they're they're interesting. Now, Drake May looks like
a player and then and they've got some good things going.
But for Mac Jones, he's found new life here as
part of the San Francisco forty nine ers coming into
the week, a lot of question marks of who is
going to be playing with him? And right now you've
got Kendrick Bourne establishing his identity.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now here's the thing and here, now here's the beer takeaway.
You're like, how many people picked up Kendrick Bourne today
and just put him in their lineup in fantasy?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Well? Today you had due? All right, Like early in
the week we do the the recap of the weeks,
like we have no idea for Thursday night, who's actually
gonna be active? So it's McCaffrey and I guess the
speculative play would be, yeah, there's Kendrick Bourne.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
H But this is that here you want your big
because now it looks like, yeah, it looks like he's okay,
Now you got your big hot take.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Did you really need to pay brock Purty? Did you
really need to go brocolypse? Did you did you overpay
a guy?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Because clearly lots of guys can work in this offense.
This is not to say brock Purty's not played well.
He has played well. But when everybody you've brought in
has played well in this offense, Okay, was brock Purty
that special? Or was brock Purty a guy that achieved
when he had great playmakers? Brock Purty was look at
some of the guys the Niners been trotting out the
(10:33):
last year's like a prime George Kittle, Ayuk Deebo in
his prime, the trade for Christian McCaffrey. Right, Jimmy Garoppolo
got to it a super Bowl in an NFC championship game. Right,
brock Purty got to a super Bowl, like whoever you
bring out there.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And I get that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's a really difficult message to send to say, hey,
we can have anybody come in to play quarterback. But man,
when you can have almost anybody come in to play quarterback,
that's a big advantage for you. Right, And not the
brock Pery not saying at all they shouldn't have. You know,
he doesn't deserve the money. He played well. But you
see clearly here Mac Jones played really well too. And
mac Jones has first round pedigree coming out of Alabama. Really,
(11:08):
I look at this and I go, man, are we
sure the Niners had to go all in on brock
Party and do this. Are we sure that they when
they were faced with what do we do in this situation?
Are we sure the Niners made the right call giving
brock Party all this money instead of here's mac Jones
for two years and twenty million and guess what, it's
the same offense.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Hot take five years to sixty five one hundred and
eighty one million dollars guaranteed signed in May of twenty
twenty five. That takes him through the twenty twenty nine season.
Of course, then we start getting into all right, when
when does this guaranteed money dissipate? When like we start
playing that game of the fuzzy math with in a
(11:49):
contract in terms of guarantees and out clauses and everything else. Yeah,
you know me, I don't want to pay a guy
until I have to, which is probably not the wisest
thing to say when you got a work on your
own deals. Yeah, but it's also that reality of until
I have to give a guy a multi year deal,
I'll play the game of the franchise tag. That's what
(12:11):
it's there for. And the forty nine Ers weren't in
a position where they had any other guy that they
had to play that game with, So you could have
gone down that road with Purdy, they chose to decide
to give him the multi year high leverage extension. I
guess the void years not until twenty thirty one. At
(12:32):
that point we're into the end of these giant balloon payments.
So yeah, you're you're kind of hamstrung. Fortunately you're not
paying Matt Jones a ton of money, so that's good.
The game you're going to be playing is dollar cost
averaging with a lower end backup here. You know, Mac
Jones looking to make himself some cash and get himself
(12:55):
another opportunity by playing well in Purdy's absence. I mean,
really good thing.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Everybody Kyle Shanahan's had a quarterback that's been able to
stay in light has played pretty well, right. Garoppolo played well, right,
Garoppolo played well. Trey Lance could never get on the
on the field right well. Unfortunately he came out.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
He played that game against the Bears in what was
one of the worst field conditions and weather circumstances that
we've seen, uh this side of Caddy Shack, and then
he got hurt and that was the end of his opportunity,
right next man up, you never see the field again
because we're long past the day of you can't lose
(13:35):
a job dune to injury. Other guy comes in and
plays really well. Guess what good luck I'd be. But
that was a guy he would have gotten in, right.
He sat for a while, then they got the job,
and he got hurt very early. Again, that's it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And then Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt again, and okay, they
broke glass in case emergency, and brock perty comes in
and he plays pretty well.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Did the job everybody they did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
They've done a great job finding quarterbacks for this offense, right,
They've done a great job findal quarterbacks to come in
and play. But really, I mean, I get that, Hey,
brock Purty's been good, he's been this, but wow, man,
that's a lot of money to pay a guy when
you are trying to revamp your roster a little bit
and stay competitive, and you see mac Jones and you go, man,
I know it's only been a couple of games, but
(14:17):
did we really have to go crazy for brock Purty?
Could we have waited a little bit? Could we have
waited to pay him? Could we have seen if something
else happened, you know, I mean who knows.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I mean you you get in on this, and that's
that's a big chunk of change.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You paid party Top seven, Top eight money. You know,
that's a really that you know, and this is something
you're now you're hooked into for a long time. And
not that brock Purty doesn't perform, that's not my point.
My point is that if if you can say, okay,
you have X amount of money to spend on your team, right,
and you've had to let a lot of guys go
in the last calendar year old and they were expensive, right,
(14:52):
so you need money. If you have someone that you've
got to pay two hundred and sixty million dollars to
over the course of five years, that's a lot chunk
of change. Or you could pay a guy two years
and ten million for the next couple of years, and
then just think of all the other players you could
bring in, Think of all the talent you can bring in,
you can put around it simply because hey, the offense
(15:13):
is better when you can bring more weapons in and
even more in the in the Matt Jones category, here
is that Mac Jones is playing like this, and these
are probably the worst weapons that the Niners have had
in the run of the last years, because guys are
hurt or ineffective and you're starting, oh look, no Pierce
all tonight, right, I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, fortunately, these are the guys he was working with. Yeah,
it just happenstance. The guys he's been running on the
second team with are all the guys that are elevated
to the ones yeah today, right, you know, you look
at Kendrick Bourne and the other guys that are making
some hey here. Yeah, I would have franchised him, probably
based on where where the statistical valuation was, and then
(15:58):
tried to play it on the cheap. When you bring
in a mac Jones and see if you can't make
that work for a year, gives you another year to
make the decision. Especially with where the forty nine ers are,
We're talking about a lot of guys that are older
and towards the end of their run. Because the curiosity
after this, I mean, how many years does Trent Williams
have left? How many years does George Kittle? Like, these
(16:19):
are guys at the end of their run. So it
was let's get the band back together, but paying your quarterback.
I mean you would have paid them top dollar on
the franchise tag. So in the end you would have
ended up at least for this year in the same boat. Yeah,
you just wouldn't have been pot committed, right, It would
have been one and now, because that's what it is.
It's not just this year. It's looking at Okay, what
got the year after this year, after that year after that? Well,
(16:41):
all of a sudden that becomes yeah, now you're pot
committed as you have to revamp in a division that
has really done a good job of getting young and
working on the cheap. Now, obviously Seattle paid Sam Darnold,
but they're not paying a lot of other guys. Right,
The defense is young, aggressive and on the cheap, all
looking to get paid for the rams. We've watched how
(17:02):
they've over hauled a bunch of stuff. You've got a
couple of guys making money, but for the most part,
again guys on their first deals. As you move forward,
so more flexibility to decide where they want to dispense
those funds. With the forty nine ers, you're now committed
at the number one slot when you've got a lot
of guys aging out at key positions.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And Matt Jones is back out there for the forty
nine Ers. Now their next drive now just a six
point lead as Matthew Stafford has taken the Rams down
a short touchdown pass to Puka Nakua, making a twenty
fourteen game three minutes to go in the third.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Lightning fast drive on that one man that you want
to talk about quick inefficiency, seven plays, sixty nine yards
less than three minutes off.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The clock, the Rams deciding Okay, enough is enough. Okay,
we should be up by twelve points in this one.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Enough is enough. The forty nine Ers fans are really
getting loud here and we can't pump in enough noise
on our side. I'm sorry, did I say the QUI
part out loud?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We'll have more on this game coming up, but today
is also a huge day in Major League Baseball. The
Yankees are counting outs to move on to the next
round of the playoffs. The Tigers have moved on, the
Cubs have moved on. A big day in baseball will
tell you the big change that I can't wait for
baseball to get. Coming up next right here, Jason and

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, I am okay.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
After what I just saw in the Yankees Red Sox game,
I now think the Yankees are gonna win the World Series.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
It's a team of death to maytimes.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Sometimes something happens and I think they're going to win
the World On the anniversary a Bucky bleeping Dead who
closed his eyes and swung. Yankees lead the Red Sox
for nothing as they're batting in the bottom of the
eighth inning. Okay, so this game they've been in control
since they jumped all over early A little.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Bit earlier in the game. Dj that fourth inning that
wouldn't end. It felt like an eighth inning at the
Dodger was I mean, I was just watching it going.
This game has been going three and a half hours.
We're in the bottom of the fourth inning. H for
the second out.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
In the top of the eighth inning, Jaron Duran hits
a pop foul along the third base side. Ryan McMahon,
who is in at third base for the Yankees, goes
all the way to the dugout and again it's kind
of poetic justice that this happens again against the Red Sox.
(20:22):
He gets all the way up to the rim of
the dugout, reaches over to make the catch on the pop,
and he does a complete flip over onto his back
after making the play. And kudos to all the Red
Sox players who stood there and cushioned his fall for
him so he wouldn't get hurt. It's the new Jeter play.
He makes, the new Jeter plan. When I tell the
(20:42):
Jeter play, you think, okay, wait, there is the flip
against the A's oh no, going into the stands against
the Red Sox. It's the new Jeter play, and in this, honestly,
it's probably a bigger degree of danger because he flips
completely over like this is one of those he goes over,
makes the catch and he flips over straight. He's okay,
he comes out with the ball. Yankee stadium goes crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
It was like he was doing the bars in the Olympics.
I mean, I think Yike's gonna win the World Series. Now,
I think they're gonna win the World Series. Now, I
did forget it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Dodgers have been great, all the home runs, everything's got,
all the dramas that Yankee's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The World Series. He get his sick a few bars
of the pick of Destiny. I got it because this
was the catch of destiny. This poor guy, released from
all these years of anguish in Colorado, comes here. He's
only hitting two fourteen, doesn't matter, yeah, twenty home runs
and he makes this play and they immediately start panning
the reaction of all of his teammates in the field.
And I don't think I've seen outside of the movie
(21:38):
smile smile too or anything Joker related guys with grins
on their faces. That wide it's a new Jeter play.
The new game is absolutely a new Kaan Like he
goes over the bar, It's like, please be okay. I
don't care whether you caught the ball or not. It's
the will he emerge, and yes he did.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Uh you want to go back. I want to say
that play was about twenty years ago, right, That Jeter
play was about twenty years ago because it was a
regular season game, right, because I remember the play, so
I remember the play vividly because it's the play that
got no more. Garcia Para traded to the Dodgers because
the Red Sox were not thrilled with Garcia Para and
(22:21):
he wasn't. He wasn't in the lineup, and he was
he was hurt. And I remember the whole story was
that hey was was Garcia Para really hurt? Well, you
know what kind of guy was he? And and you know,
he was someone who came up and with Boston, I'm like,
oh my god, this guy's going to be a legend.
He's going to the Hall of Fame. He's a new
Ted Williams. But he started to fall out of favor
a little bit, and he was hurt and he didn't know, like, hey,
(22:42):
is he tough enough to make a play. And he
was out of the game that night, and he wasn't
playing that night. And then Jeter makes that play July first, Okay,
two thousand and four. Okay, Jeter makes that so twenty
years ago. So Jeter makes that play going into the stands,
which you've seen a million times, and I remember the story.
All the Red Sox players are like, that's what this
(23:03):
guy is doing for a July game against us. He
wants to win so bad. And then after that, after
he made that play, Garcia Para went to the rest
that I can go in and they said, no, we
don't need you to night. And I think that you
got traded the next day. Look up Garcia part I
think he got traded the next day or the day
after that, like he would like they when they saw
(23:24):
that play, Jeter making that play, that got Garcia Para traded.
I'm pretty I'm pretty sure that's how it was.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
He was traded at the end of that month. Okay,
So July first, that happened. Trot Nixon hit the ball
July thirty first, was when he was traded to the coach. Okay,
so so I'm close on the timeline. Red Sox acquired
Orlando Cabrera and Doug men Kevitch in exchange for Garcia
Para Matt Merton, and then the Red Sox go on
(23:52):
to win the two.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Kavich who had the ball, the World Series ball that's
worth like millions and millions of dollars, and he was like,
wouldn't give it to anybody he should, like, I don't
understand how that that that always worked, that the first
baseman was able to walk off with the ball. It's
like it seemed like someone in the clubhouse, whether it's
the manager or the owner or GM, comes down and
(24:15):
says ours, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, mine, I caught
I caught it. I get to keep in mind, don't
you want to get it?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, no, good for him, I don't, And good for
every first basement that did it.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Canerco, all those guys, every everyone of hold on to
that ball when you celebrate. Don't throw your glove up
or put the ball in your back pocket, put the
decoy ball out there and whatever you need to do.
But yeah, all of that to say, yeah, man, Kevich. Uh,
good job by him. But yeah for nomar Garcia par
that was the end of his run. Yeah. Yeah. This
was a full month later at the trade deadline calling
(24:48):
that that was that, that was that was. I remember
like he went and said I can go and they
said no, we're good tonight. And then and then they
try to this day. I always remember the two thousand
and five trading cards when you'd open a pack and
you get a Nomar Garcia. Him in the Cubs uniform
just looks so odd. It made no sense.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Uh, it's it's again, the new Jeter play, right, the
new Jeter player.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Now, really the Yankees are That was amazing. Now I'm
gonna have to watch the Yankees win. It really was, though,
I mean, tragg it down. You got a four nothing
lead and say nothing. I mean, you know, we haven't
talked about him yet, but I mean we talked, you know,
behind the scenes. Coming in. It's like you got a
couple of young pitchers. You have no idea what you're
gonna expect in this game.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
They're gonna sweep Toronto, They're gonna beat the Tigers in
the A l c S.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
They're gonna go gonna beat the Dodgers in the World Series.
Handle in the World Series. Do they do it because
the Dodgers have problems fielding the baseball? Just oskar Andes
or something. They hit every ball to like it's a
softball game. Yeah, yeah, at that? Why why he really
changed his stance for this World Series? That guy playing
(25:50):
right field? And why is he pointing his bat at Taoskarnando?
You know who could do that?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Guy you're looking at right now, it's allful could just
spray the ball into Okay, no, I could just I
could just Oh that right fielder, he's playing a little
too shallow, I'm a hit over his head for a
home run.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
And I could do it. How you do it? I
was you feel it? I could do it. I feel
like we're watching the episode of Married with Children when
Al's exiled to uh, you know, softball leagues and he's
out there. It's like, yeah, he's playing too shallow. Yep
is that I can't be him. I'll it's gonna hit
over your head. I'm gonna sometimes I would just have
to take a step. Sometimes I'd shift my feet and
tired like it was tennis, and I'm going this ball
(26:27):
is this ball is over your head and you are
not gonna get it. That's the last time. And it's
and it's it's just a guy to oh yeah, I
think I'm gonna play here. Yeah, okay, good luck, this
is gonna be this is gonna be a three run homer.
And that's the last time you're gonna play. You're gonna
play in that much. That's it. Man, I could hit.
The kids gonna make it. I could hit. I could rake.
I hit nine hundred some years in softball. I was
so good. I could ring.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I was mister nine hundred man like mister three thousand,
I'm mister, I'm mister nine hundred.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
One of the most underrated movies. Never saw the documentary
mister nine hundred me on FS one. You never saw that.
They ran that a few years ago. Was it a parody?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:01):
No, the whole thing was.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Whole documentary on me hitting nine hundred. You know, I
mean it was yeah, I mean making three outs in
the whole season.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
You didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Was this in one of your prior lives? If you
knew this is before I started doing as before I
started doing radio. Because once once I started doing radio
for a living, I had to stop playing.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
So I had to be mister nine hundred in predictions.
That's because you're saying.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's because all the games were at night during the week,
and I'm like, once I started doing radio, I'm like, okay,
I'm working at night during the week, so okay, I'm done.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
It Never make you think, you know, in the next
discussions that you'd want to get away from working at
night so you can go play softball again. Here's the thing,
go to a concert to make me your kid.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
No, Actually, the schedule was great because once we had
Zoe was great because I could see her all day. Look,
she's sleeping at night and everything, going to bed early stare.
Yeah that was when she was little. But but now
but now she's busy. That doesn't matter. Twenty four to seven,
she's busy. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
But uh, now I'm to say this, like here, here,
here's the thing is that you know, this is you know,
but I got to tell the truth. Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I won a lot, I played really well, won a
lot of championships. I did walk off the softball field thinking,
h I left stuff out there. No, I won a lot,
We won a lot of titles, won a lot.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Everything you want to manage some young kids to have
the great degree of success. Imagine, Well, I'm just saying
that's a bunch of kids. All these the kids. I'm saying,
all these kids, all these kids I've managed, you sport.
They're all going to college on scholarships. They're all saying
Coach Jason, thank you. They're all going top level D one.
I sent five kids to Oklahoma softball last year alone. Okay,
(28:30):
I didn't really do that, but I mean that's kind
of the impact. I felt like, I again in the
universe in your head. Wow, uh stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I mean, I mean, I mean, look, there's other baseball
stuff to get to, but that Ryan McMahon play you
are going to see over and over and over. And
I'm telling you now, the Yankee just understand, the Yankees
are gonna win.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
The World Series. Just get so you get it out now.
I know you're gonna be upset. Well, we still have
two more rounds to go to get to the World Yea,

you know me. I'm a big Broadway with my kids.
Love to go to to plays at all. You'll be swell,

nothing to do with it, but it was his first
time out of Broadway. Stran in their shortcake Not there okay?
No Tom wopat no uh Donnie, no no no, I'm
bringing in to Anson Williams. Is somehow I can play
(30:01):
in Anson Williams with Tom wopant Anton Williams to run
over the car and and and and get in without
opening the car door. He would press the hornet, just
like the Duke of Hazard. He'd press That's what he did.
The way we got Donny.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Most Wayland Jennings was the ballad beer and he would say,
I don't know how Richie Cunningham is going to get
out of this one one of.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Those things where the synapses don't fire. I'm picturing Anson
Williams and I say, Tom Wopat, how about that Happy Days?
This is coming in Luke Duke walking in the house.
That might have worked. I mean they both were singers,
Boss Hog buying the hardware store from Tom Bosley, putting
him out of work, and all you want to talk
(30:45):
about seventies collision? Right then Mosco walks in and goes,
are you sure they didn't battle on the Battle of
the Network Stars. At some point Rosico walks in with flash,
oh flash either way. Yeah, Tom Bosley, ah my goodness,
was retired and suddenly.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Was the dead, digging digging that, digging Tom moltat on
on Happy Days to digging that man.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
You know what, Sometimes the synapses don't fire. I went,
Tom Bosley had Tom on the brain and it it
just kept firing. Couldn't just let it go? No, no, no,
you gotta make it a bit and try to make
me look stupid. So Blake, you said it was funny.
It was funny. I made it funny. It didn't make
it look step. I thought it was funny that Tom
Bosley was on the stage in Beauty of the Beast.
(31:31):
I really think Marion Ross's Missus Potts would have been
a little bit better. But that's all I mean, like
stage done, casting.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Time to find out what's trending right now in the
wide world of sports. And someone who's been called the Gaston.
Speaker 3 (31:45):

bites like it's.

Even if I'm not wrestling.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
You know what I'm saying, don't.
Speaker 3 (31:55):

Speaker 6 (32:12):
They're well done, very well done. Oh guys, we got
an NFC West showdown between the forty nine ers and
the Rams. I know you're like showdown, but everybody's hurt.
For the forty nine ers, there's been a lot of
plugging in for them, and the Rams have tied the
game as Matthew Stafford has thrown his third touchdown pass
of the game, the second one to Kyra and Williams.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
So it's a tie game. Why because the extra point
was blocked.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
By the Niners, so they are tied at twenty apiece,
still about ten minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
But Matthew Stafford twenty one of thirty one two hundred
and seventy five yards and three touchdowns. Mac Jones is
twenty two of thirty two for two hundred and thirty
five yards and two touchdowns. Jason and Harmon, you guys
were talking about him his injury going down.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
They're saying he was just cramping.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
After all that's been said and done, so he seems
to be okay. Yeah, when it comes to base ball, well,
we are in the top of the ninth inning in
the Bronx Yankees. One more out and they will eliminate
the Boston Red Sox. They're upright now, four is zero.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
Their pitcher, Cam Schlittler, pitched eight innings, gave up five hits,
no runs, no walks, twelve strikeouts, the most for a
Yankees pitcher in their postseason day was again, who was it?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I don't want Cam s I got it exactly know
she got it right. Once it's in the system. From
now on, you just point out, you say, all right,
I'm not doing it again because by the way career
long last time out against the Orioles. See what seven
innings and then he goes eight here, Yeah, insane.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
The reason I mentioned that is because I know Monty said,
I know I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna bles. She didn't look
at you, she didn't look at her sheet. It's colder
being a professional. Who is it against cam s?

Speaker 8 (35:33):
The first pitcher durand swung on a little looper down
the left down the third day side. Look at me,
I don't get hurt. DVMC man catches and falls into
the dugout. They did a total backflip and McMahon is nothing.
It's good to go. Wow, what to play? They went
full speed into the third base dugout and flipped over
(35:55):
the rail and baite the catch.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yankees Radio work on the call. Yes, they're gonna win
the World Series. Now they're going to win the World.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Well, put that out in the We're gonna make all
our Dodger friends now and the other is anybody but them.
They're a team of destiny. They're going to win. But
I mean, I Walt HadAM dead and buried yesterday. Yeah
he quit, Yeah, yeah, he can't jump back on the
seventh inning last night.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
He says that next year, Dad, it's three to three
and the seventh that a you're talking about?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Wait the Red Sox, A're gonna do things like your
squad normally does and hand it back to you.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
An incredible play by Ryan mcmammal of more on this
game coming up in a few minutes. The Yankees shut
out the Red Sox for nothing. They move on to
the next round of the playoffs. But it's time now
for the co play of the day, brought to you
by tire Rack. For over forty years, Tyreck's been uping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive. Shipped fast and free backed by free Road,
has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
(36:54):
Tiraq dot com is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
When you have a play that becomes the play of
a game and ushers in a new era in Major
League baseball, Well, you get to be the play of
the day and.
Speaker 9 (37:08):
Two Keller deals Bogart's takes. Oh, it was low when
he got wrung up, pitch was gown and really, for
the first time all game home play umpire DJ Raybird
missed one big time.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Bogarts gave him a piece of it.
Speaker 9 (37:23):
And now Mike Shilt out there yelling at him as
he escorts Bogart's away.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Cubs Radio Network on the call, why is a strikeout
of Xander Bogart's the play of the day. Cubs and
Padres in an elimination game. Cubs are up three nothing
top of the ninth inning. Padres got a home run
to start the ninth inning. They start rallying on a
three to two pitch that is clearly not even close
to the strike zone.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Is awful.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Bogert's low awful. One of the worst calls you will
ever see. And I'm being kind, it was an awful call.
So instead of runner at first base, nobody out, Bogarts
is out. Makes a big deal because Keller then hits
the next two batters. Hey hits two guys are runners
at first and second and okay, Cubs go to the bullpen.
(38:08):
Everything gets calmed down a little bit, and they get
out of the inning. They win the game three to one.
A strikeout and a fly out to center field ends
the game. Cubs move on to the next round of
the playoffs. But it's a huge difference between first and second,
one out and bases loaded and nobody out when you're
down two runs now obviously difference.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Well obviously depending on how that pitch goes it. You
may you may not be pitching inside. Now you hit
a guy. The fact that you hit a guy so
badly twice and had to be pulled out of the
game like makes me think that, okay, probably when bases
loaded down, maybe it goes away. But either way, it
takes what could be the fire starter to an inning off.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
You flip that inning like that inning could have ended.
It really could have ended much differently for the Padres.
They could have still been playing going on. This is
why I say the ABS challenge system that we're getting
next year can't get here fast enough, because that would
have been challenged. It would have been ball four and
things would have been different for the Padres. And it's
it's not so much when hey, when you miss something,
(39:08):
that's just off the box or just off or just
bisects the box a little bit. Okay, when you miss
by that much, when you can see with the naked eye,
when they show you the center field replay, that's not
even close. You know how bad of a call that is.
And we have the technology to get stuff like that, right,
it should have been here already, but.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Now we're getting it next year. It's too late for
the Padres.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
But when I saw that play, I said, ABS can't
get here fast enough.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
It really can't. It was kind of interesting, right, I'm
in the drive on the way up here into the
Fox Sports Radio studios. Game is on, and we've got that,
We've got Thursday Night football, and then I've got our
friends down at our iHeart affiliate in San Diego who
are watching and living and dying with every pitch. And
(39:54):
you would have thought someone just stole their dog. Yeah,
du At the end of that, it was awful.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
It was a if I'm a Padre fan at that point,
I'm rooty for going out one, two, three, so it
doesn't effect Oh no, no, we put the tying runs
a second and third with two outs. Just a miserable
end to a series. And Rob Bamford going excellent. More
big baseball and huge drama in the NFL Thursday Night game.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
