Speaker 3 (00:53):
At five to three. Jaron Duran is your MVP. Stop
in the open.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
We talked about me joking around my accent. You and
I both went to the United Kingdom on vacation. I
just got back. I was in London. I went to
McDonald's once, only one one time, and the only reason
we went is well one, I said, well, I gotta
go to McDonald's in England and just see what it's like.
This reason was it was we were heading somewhere. It's like, well,
we could go sit somewhere and eat and it's going

(01:18):
to take an hour, or we could get there faster
and just get McDonald's to go.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
All right, we'll get McDonald's.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Here's the one difference, the big difference between United States
McDonald's and United Kingdom McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Lond to McDonald's is.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
The first to do is walk in and I see
there's a triple quarter pounds with cheese like and they
call it. They call it like the the the triple
threat or something like that, and I'm going, wow, they
have a triple okay, but I'm thinking.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Freight level midnight. Yeah, baby, they.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Catherine's Ata Scarn. I'm sorry I killed your wife, Michael Scarn.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
The triple threat? Is that like talking to your heart? Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well yeah, it's three burgers compared to two compared to one.
But so we go there and we walk into McDonald's
and the menu of the McDonald's in Europe blows away
the menu hear in the United States. Sure, there are
so many more choices for different foods you can get.

(02:15):
Not like they have salad there, but there's like seventeen
different kinds of desserts, seventeen different kinds of mcflurries you
can get. They have different burgers, they have different raps.
I'm going this McDonald's menu is unbelievable. I don't get
something like this in the United States because the United State,
it's all all they've been doing is last last, less.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
We're charging more money and it's but but there's less items.
There are so many things.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I said, hang on, I said, Pam, I need a
couple of minutes here with this menu like this is
this is amazing. Just just get what you get, get
your big back with your extra sauce and extra cheese
and noe pickles. I said, no, I'm gonna get something.
I don't know what I'm gonna get here. This amazing
travel moment. You told your wife you needed a moment.
I said, I need a moment with a McDonald's menu.
I need a moment.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I was you cheer up a little bit. I didn't
cheer up. I have a number of choices.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
I was more sad, going maybe not, maybe we're not
the best country in the world.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
We can't have them. We can't have McDonald's like this,
we can't have McDonald's.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Really in the fact that you knew you were only
getting it one time while you were there.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh man, I mean that McDonald I'm telling you. There
were about seventeen different desserts you could get, and all
the different kinds of burgers you could get, Like they're
burgers I didn't even heard of, Like what is it
in some kind of rapids of burgers? This is and
it's not like all stuff from like the nineties that
they don't do. And so like, hey, you can get
a McRib anytime or something like that, or here's a
shamrock shake.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
No, this is.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Hot the street hot stays hot mcdee and the cool
stays cool lt uh yeah, and the big foam non
biodegradable containers that yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
No, no, this was all stuff that I had never
seen before. How excited were you?

Speaker 4 (03:51):
I was like, do you have the glasses? Do you
have like an updated on the glasses? Can I get
the mcdamburglar glasses? What kind of Grimace gear do you have?
Because I'm a Mets fan, you got any miss gear?
Because the guys got us in the playoffs right now,
Grimmas in.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
The playoff, Mike, but it was really ask how excited
he was. He wi him over with his menu.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
I mean it was more just the I could see
it bubbling, and we just needed to we need to
let him have that moment. He needed the sweet relief
of talking about the excitement of the menu.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I heard your pants off like a cass. They did
a little bit. It was tough. It was tough. I mean,
I'm going, I'm trying to go through.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I'm hitting because it's one of those where you walk
in like they have here, where you walk in you
ordered the kiosk, which is just stupid because it takes
way longer to order the kiosks than to walk up
to the register and say here, I want a number one,
a number four, two chilla chip cookies. Here's your money.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
It did way ever, He's.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Got stoptimizations and it fails. It's on you because you
didn't know.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
That's true. That's true, but it's still a lot easier.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
But I'm at the kiosk going, this is I'm just
pressing buttons, going, this is amazing. That must most want
to be like to be in the Empire Stateple and going, oh,
I'm going to see all these different places.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
This is great.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Now, if you know what it really was, I would
have funded it. I would have been owed you money immediately.
Keep going down the menu. Here's that far you can
get here. The other thing is is you don't need
to worry.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
We brought money, and we brought and and everybody we've
said so, don't bring a lot of money. So okay,
So we brought like fifty bucks in cash and we
changed over into pounds.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Didn't need it. It's cards and apple pants and everything.
So convenient. It's so convenient.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
I tipped some people we had we had some issues
with the return to Heathrow. It's just a disaster. So
I tipped the guy and took care of him. Oh
that's nice to drive like a lunatic.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Tips. I mean I do.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I do like other countries money because it's like little
kids designed it.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
They got stickers on stuff.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, come on, there's stickers and there's like a sea
through place on it, and the Queen is on it.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
And I think Hugh Grant was on one of my bills.
I mean, I love money, and some of the bills
are smaller than others, Like this is a bigger bill,
it's ten pounds?

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Is a five pound? Why is this not as big
as the other I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
And the coins are really ridged, like they're not all
perfectly round. I'm going, wow, But you don't need it.
You didn't need like all the the we had fifty
dollars and I think thirty of it we spent at
the airport, flying back saying we're to get whatever we
get magazine non magazine, to buy drinks or whatever it
was to get on the air on the airplane.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
But I've got a little jar of currency from different countries.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I'm ready for my next Europe vacations. We back to McDonald's.
Can I get your order? Yeah, go ahead, ma'am. Here's
my credit card. Everything I'll take. Well, i'll take the
left side column B everything column.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
See.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, how deep did you get into the desserts? That's
really the question. Oh no, I got them. I got
the the did they have the sheet?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Care?

Speaker 5 (06:38):
She?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I wish they did know.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I got the I got the brownie mcflurry dessert with
M and m's Like that's what it was like. It
was a brownie mcflurry with Eminem's on. I'm going no, no, no,
not Eminem's. I got it with cookies and cream. Oh
it's good.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
And I'm like, this is this is amazing eyes because
last week, this time last week, I passed the Wilford
Brimley line in my life, the famous date that cocoon
was released.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Here's a picture of Wilfred Brimley. Oh okay, I think
I've held up better than Wilfrid Brimley. Sure at that
point what you're describing and your mcflury is perfect for
My name is Wilfred Brimley, and I'd like to talk
to you about diabetes.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
No, but it doesn't matter when you have sugar in
England is different than sugar.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Hey, trust me. Drinking the soda over there, whoa what
is this? Come on? Drinking the coffee over there?

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Whoa coffee? Why is this so bitter? We don't put
sugar in it. Put some sugar in it, let's go.
Everything was an Americans. Everybody just wanted to serve me.
I just want a cup of coffee. American no coffee.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
So the All Star Game in the books got John
Paul Morosi coming up in about ten minutes to help
us break it down as the American League wins again
part of their dominance ten out.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Of the last eleven years.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
And as we said, Jared duran is your MVP red
Sie Star with a two run homer that unties the game,
the American League wins at five to three, and look,
quite honestly, yeah it was Durana an MVP, sure, but
man for the American League to overcome those jerseys and win,
I think in totality the American leg shia get it.

(08:18):
You call Bruce Bochi up there, You call Bruce Bochie
up there, and he accepts it on behalf of the
entire team, and they all come and touch the the
the MVP trophy. They'll like it's a in the National
Championship when they hold it up and everybody touches it,
like because.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Those jerseys were just so bad.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Really, I mean, that's gonna be the overwhelming story from
this All Star Game. Like, what's the two biggest stories?
The national anthem from yesterday and these.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Jerseys national anthem jerseys and the number of young people
right thirty eight first timers. Man, that's so low though
on the touch it's anthem, it's national anthem and jerseys
are at the top, fighting with each other versus Godzilla.
I just watched that you were young people. Thing is
like Rodan, like nobody talks about road.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah okay. The third I mean we did get Mathra flying.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
They had.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Was a little smart ass in there, little because it
was Chris Rock's voice as little Penny bro Is that
what it tell them? Say? Hello, hey Tyra, you left
a toothbrush at my house last night.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
But those jerseys were so bad. They were just so.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Incredibly The National League's not awful, though, I mean, you're
not gonna get hit by a car walking around in
one of those well, like they make the Padre City
Connects look good. Yeah, dude, And that's a tough thing
to do. That is a tough on Twitter right now
is going to be uh, the National League at least
of the two colors. First of all, cream for a
jersey is an awful color. Okay, let me just say

(09:44):
right now, when you go light brown for a jersey
is a terrible color.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
It's terrible color for anything. Tan is a bad color.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
People don't even wear khakis anymore because tan doesn't work.
Cream is an awful color for anything.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's Bucks. So you have that base. Well, no, that's orange.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
No, I'm talking the cream the brown nuts creamsicle. The
Bucks are creamsicle, the orange Bucks. I'm talking about the
base of the jersey being a being a tan cream
color like that's you call it. You know they put
a pirate on this. It would have worked hard. Uh
So that's a bad base to begin with. Right, that's
an awful base to work with. So the National League
having the base of black, Okay, that that's a little

(10:24):
bit better. The color of the highlighter blue is way
better than this whatever combination of orange and pink that
the American League is.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, I don't even know what that's supposed to be.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
It's not quite red, it's it's it's not quite pink.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's I don't mind the American League on the front.
I don't mind. But just the color scheme just looks.
I mean, who comes out of a meeting and says, yes,
this is what we're doing.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
We're a multi billion dollar institution. How much do we
want to spend on this?

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Nothing?

Speaker 4 (10:56):
But I mean it does look like something I would
get at the local thrift shot after the softball season,
or I guess what you will because some people who
every year I get the All Star jersey.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Oh, I'll go to Goodwill and get that. Yeah, you
can get one of those jerseys there, brand new, still
with the tags on it and everything. See shop. Yeah,
I'm turning that thing right over.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, and here's look because because the hats are bad too.
And here's how bad the hats are, right right here?
This is I get the All Star hat every year, right,
that's my thing?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (11:24):
And then the Mets All Star hat last year the
game was in Seattle. It's kind of a muted green color,
which looks nice. Hey, it's one of my favorite Mets hats.
I wear it all the time. I wait until the
All Star Game is over because then the All Star
Game hats, they go from fifty five dollars down to
like twenty five dollars, and then I get it because
I don't care. Am I really gonna buy a National
League All Star hat? Am I really gonna buy a

(11:47):
Star hat? Am I really gonna buy.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
That at half price? You will? Am I really going to?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I got to do a lot of staring at the
computer screen convincing myself, going I could make this hat work.
What what T shirts could I wear that I could
make this hat work with? Well, I gotta wear black pants.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
So that that's you.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
At least have the National League which it pops, right,
I mean that blue at least has some fire to No.
The only reasons it distress you want?

Speaker 1 (12:13):
You have up right now in your computer screen a
picture of the American League jersey in the National League jersey.
You say, the National League jersey pops. Do me a favor.
Take that big paw, that big left hand you got
cover the American League jersey. Now you tell me if
that National League jersey still pops more, if it looks terrible.
It's by comparison. Yeah, of course, nothing operates in a vacuum.

(12:35):
That's what's evaluating when we do rankings. It's not hey,
this guy is great against what?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Nothing like that guy? The Mets in white sox next
to each other and saying the Mets are good you dude.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Come on, man, we're in playoff if the season and
we're in the playoffs. We're in the playoffs, man, we're
in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
What really did not think he'd come and swing Molnar
at my head? We're good, man, We're good. I mean
these jerseys are terrible.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Coming up next, John Paul Rosi saus By all the
latest from the Midsummer Classic. We get set for the

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
live from the Tirack dot com studios where everybody's wearing
cowboy hats? Now who following the All Star Game in Texas?
The American League wins ten out of the last eleven years.
Now they win at five to three. Jaron Duran of
the Red Sox is your MVP, tie breaking two run homer,

(14:27):
stealing the MVP away from sho Heyo Tani.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Well, I mean, the National League thought they would win
the game because they stole Otanni from the America. Sure League, Sure,
and for a while it looked like that was a
pretty good strategy.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
So to break this down and what is next now
as we look ahead of the second half Major League Baseball,
nobody better than a guy right now who I'm sure
is wearing a cowboy hat practicing the national anthem. MLB
Network insider, Fox Sports Radio Baseball insider, longtime front of
the Show, John Palmerrosi, John Paul, what's happening, Buddy?

Speaker 5 (14:59):
I am doing out congratulations to the American League and
most especially Jaron durand what a journey for him to
be the All Star Game MVP. And now, as of
a few minutes ago, the second half begins, But it
was a pretty entertaining Midsummer Classic, I would say, for
all of us to enjoy.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
You know, I got to say that it looked pretty
much early on, Okay, NL's gonna win, Otani's going to
be your MVP, and all of a sudden, the American
League does what it's done over.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
The course past decade plus. Is there is there a
reason why? Is this just a way it's going? The
American League has been winning these All Star Games ten
out of the last eleven years.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
Yeah, it's a great question, and certainly it's to your point.
It's been the way that it's gone for the last
couple decades, really ever since the tie and O two
and then the this time it counts ERA and then
now back to the core mission of the also, which
is to entertain and have fun. And even Paul schemes
on the mound and show you Tony and the batter's

(16:01):
Box were not enough for the National League tonight. I
think that I'll say this that the American League, It's
not necessarily true this year in terms of these two teams,
although certainly one of them, one of the representatives of
the Redstocks was the MVP tonight, the Yankees and Red
Sox for a long time, and probably in the last

(16:22):
half a decade plus, the Astros to an extent, have
really driven a lot of the competitive nature of the
American League to where if you want to be a
good team, you're going to have to have stars and
talent to keep up and compete and maintain the level
of the Red Sox, the Yankees, and more recently the Astros.
Now it's not always born out and who wins the

(16:44):
World Series in a given year. Of course, in this case,
the reigning World Series champions are an American League team.
But I think that for whatever reason, I think, I
really believe that the American League has been probably the
deeper league top to bottom over the last twenty years.
It seems like this in terms of star star power,
and that's of course with this game measures. I think

(17:08):
the results speak for themselves. And that being said, there's
a lot of stars in the Phillies, a lot of
stars on the Dodgers, a lot of stars in the
National League. Just so happens that on these collection of
ninth and July it's been the advantage of the junior circuit.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Now, one thing.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
We talked about a little bit earlier, JP, was the
fact that Jan Soto at least made good on his promise.
So we got the Skemes versus Aaron Judges, and then
Judge screwed us by swinging at the first pick.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Dude, take a couple pitches, man, give us some drama.
Come on, John Paul, come on now.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
But how unique was it that it was Judge's lineup
spot that ultimately produced the decisive runs. But it was
by the Red Sox who replaced the Yankee Duran who
stepped into the Judge's lineup spot, who actually delivered the
big hit. So a lot of really unique storylines. And
you're right, there was the build up, here's the matchup,

(18:01):
we've talked about it all week, and he swings at
the first pitch. And so now now let's let's take
a step back and say this. You know, Aaron Judge
in that ballpark gave us home run sixty two, So
he has done plenty of work in that particular stadium
to give us memories for a lifetime. It just so
happens that tonight versus Paul Skeins was not one of

(18:24):
those nights.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
John Paul Morosi with us the Jason Smithscher with Mike Harmon,
Lifromthtyreck dot Com Studios. All right, so John Paul, you
got to help us out here. You talked about Jaron
Durant being your MVP. Great story. They got the MVP wrong.
They got the MVP wrong because the MVP should have
gone to the American League as a whole for overcoming
those jerseys and finding a way to win.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
I mean, I just calling it like I see it,
John Paul, just call it like I see it.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
So that's very fair. I do think that. And the commissioner,
as you probably have seen, the commissioner is evidently a
loyal listener of the program because he acknowledged me. There's
been at least some conversation with going back to the
original jerseys, which, to be honest, is what I would prefer.

(19:11):
If I'm being honest here, I like the old school jerseys.
I like, you know, as a Tiger fan growing up,
we didn't have a whole lot, but darn it, I
wanted to see Travis Bryman's jersey on the field. I
wanted to see Tony clarks jersey on the field. I
wanted to see Todd Jones's jersey on the field. Brian Mohler.
I wanted to see my guy in the All Star Game,

(19:33):
and I wanted to wait around and make sure that
I was at my buddy Kyle's house watching the game,
which we did it every year. I wanted to see
the Tiger get in the game with the old English
t best uniformance sports on the field. So I think
that's the emotional part of it, which I think in
baseball in this case, is the right part of it.

(19:55):
By the way, By the way, we are all part
of the Fox Sports radio family. We are all connected.
And even though I'm very rarely in studio with you,
although I.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Was last year, as you remember, well, yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
But can I share this with you? Hit me that
I believe this that I have driven past the Tairaq
dot Com corporate headquarters more recently than either of you,
because I did that last week south Bend, Indiana, on
my way back from Chicago in a game, I drove

(20:30):
by and out of my beautiful window on the turnpike,
I turned to my right and I said, tire rack
dot Com. That's my studio. Those are my guys, And
so I felt, as you can imagine, this immense pride
to be connected to ty Iraq via Fox Sports Radio
that I felt like I was at my home stadium

(20:51):
when I drove Fasset on the expressway. It was a
pretty cool experience. I gotta be honest about that.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Well, that's a great story and it's awesome to hear it,
But that disqualifies you from the big tirec dot com
promotion winning the free tires this summer. You're now disqualified
from winning.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Now you are.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Because you are, because I'm now part of the family.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
I'm sorry. You can't know you're part of the family.
You saying drive right by the studio and in reality
might have been.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
I stopped in, I brought some coffee for the guys,
I got I got some tires.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
I walked back. I mean, I don't know where that goes.
I gave them some notes on the game I was
about to do.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah, in in fairness, In fairness, I was not aware
that it was that the headquarters was located in South End.
And to anybody, and I think this certainly fits both
of you, to anyone who was driven on a turnpike
before you, you it's not as like, oh, there's there's
the headquarters. I'm going to go get off the road

(21:42):
here and go visit them. If you're on a turnpike,
you might have to wait twenty miles and then double
back twenty five more to be able to get off
and go there. And I would also say, to my defense,
I had my wife and three kids with me, which
would have been, as you know, as soon as you
peel off the road where my snacks. I want sour patch, kids,
I want a flurpy. So like there were some family

(22:06):
considerations there be that, as it may. Proud member of
the tire rock dot Com family.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
You're also from Michigan, you had allowed to go to
South Bend unless you go into a game.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Come on, I mean that's I mean, they're gonna take
away your Michigan card.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
For that, they have to move to Canada.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
So we're going deeper into the roads and the family
at Tenerary. But here we are, so I'm gonna tell
you we were getting on it. We were on our
way back from from doing a game in Chicago. My
family came with me and we stopped and we had
an amazing dinner in South Bend at the campus at
the Campus Inn right across from the stadium, took a
beautiful walk around the campus. I shared this with Brady

(22:42):
Quinn on the morning show. So, uh, you know, we're
part of the family here South Bend loved it. Campus
is great. I hope they don't provoke my Michigan residency
for all these nice things.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
I'm thinking about under Dames and then like, we need
to do a remote there on a Friday during football seam,
and then I store we should, and then I statue
put in the back of my car.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
No one knows where it is right now, but I an't.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
You absolutely need to do that. It's drought you through
the show from there and then be at Notre Dame
Stadium in time for the game.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Well, we get to bring the statue back that you stole.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
I can see the roastie cables from the back of
his car putting it around the Frank Lady statue, pulling
out and dripping along the freeway.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
You just hear that.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
No, no, no, I very respectful. I was. I had to,
I was with I brought my daughters and admittedly, I'll
just say this, I am I I love being a dad.
I have done a really poor job of educating my
children about sports, Like, they like, this will sound funny,
they really don't know a lot. I mean they know

(23:48):
a lot about other things, but they don't know the
stuff that I knew when I was their age. So
I we're walking around the stadium. I said, girls, look
it's it's the statue of the legendary coach. And they're
like saying a new, girls, girls whoa Okay, listen one

(24:10):
of the most important figures in American sports in the
first half of the twentieth century. Uh yeah, new Roxy, yes, new.
You know, like the movie remember Ronald Reagan played the Gipper.
They're like, they're like, who are all of these people?

Speaker 3 (24:24):
I was like, oh, my dad, what are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (24:28):
I was like, girls, we gotta go. I just gotta
be better. I got I gotta be better. I gotta
be a better dad. I mean, like visiting that campus
for my like, I was reflecting on a whole lot
of things, Like there's a lot of stuff that I
need to do a better job of teaching my kids about.
But this is why, uh, this is why the tye
rack dot com organization bring this all together.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
It's all through Yeah, there's the other lesson to go through.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Ronald the actor, all the Caves girls. It's new Roxy
win one for the Giffert What does that mean? Oh
my gosh, guys, we're have to watch the movie now.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
We've got a lot of learnings to be had.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
It's Jan Morossi with us here at John Morossi where
you find him on Twitter. Leave out the age because
Mom said so, Hi Mom, j O N M O
R O s I MLB Network. He's got the podcast.
Hall of Fame Induction weekend coming up, one of the
greatest weekends. If you can ever get out to Cooperstown, folks,
I implore you find it. Find your way out there
for one of these induction weekends. But jp second half,

(25:28):
starting on Friday, those Red Sox will be in town
to face the Dodgers. A glass now kershaw on the
men doing their rehabs and everything else. And we've talked
about it, but how active are they and what do
they need beyond the starting pitch here or two?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
What else do they need to do?

Speaker 5 (25:46):
They need some work on this roster, Mike, And it's
amazing to think that as of Sunday when they got
walked off by the Tigers for the second straight day,
the Dodgers needed the All Star Break more than about
any of their team in the sport because their rotation
at that point was Paxton Stone and three openers. Basically,

(26:06):
they they are short on pitching. And I'm gonna mention
this stat to you, and Justin behind the glass probably
is aware of this, but I'll mention it anyway. The
Dodgers have played fifteen straight postseason games without their starting
pitcher recording it out in the sixth inning. Fifteen in

(26:29):
a row. Fifteen. That's a lot of playoff games where
basically Dave Roberts has just not had not had horses
to go to to be able to utilize his bullpen
when he wants to. And I'll say this, if that
streak continues, they're going to get bounced in the first
couple rounds of this playoff run too. They're just there.
You cannot go series after series after series chasing the

(26:54):
whole pitching plan because your guys who are max velocity
are on the injured list. You can only go three
and four innings with your openers. It's just doesn't work,
and it hasn't worked for them since the World Series
in twenty which, by the way back at that point
in time, Buehler was throwing ace type innings, Kershaw was
going deeper into games. They needed a better plan, and

(27:16):
so that's why, and Tom Raduci's reported on this and
others why they're somewhat desperate to get Trek Skuble or
Garrett Crochet, whoever it might be. They need two starters,
two and I think that the lineup is a little
bit light right now. Monthy being out hurts them. I
think there are definitely some players that could help them out.

(27:37):
You know, do you look at a Nico Horner from Chicago.
Maybe do you look at Yanni Diez from the Rays.
I think he'd be a great fit if you can
have him played some third base. But they've got some
work to do. This is a team that right now.
The Phillies proved it last week. The Phillies are clearly
a better team right now than the Dodgers, just up
to the top to bottom. They're just better and Andrew

(27:59):
Friedman and Gomes. They've got a busy couple weeks. The
deadline is less than two weeks from right now, and
they've got some work to do.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
All right, So let's send here John Paul if I
said to you the biggest name to be dealt that
the deadline is blank.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Who are you gonna give me?

Speaker 4 (28:16):
And you can't give me Alonso because the Mets are
in the playoffs right now.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
The Mets are in the play sass the biggest name in.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
The dance in the dance, okay, uh, I'm gonna give
you this name. Boba Schett. I think that as as
disappointing as his first half has been, he is a
former batting champion, All Star type player. And the Toronto
Blue Jays they have they have played in such a
way this year that it's time for them to move

(28:46):
on from some of their core guys. I don't think
they're gonna trade Vladdie. He'd be a massive name, because
Laddie would be a massive name. Scooba would be a
massive name. I think there's a chance that both those
players get moved, but the one on them, I think
that Bo is a little more of a chance. Garrett
Crochet I would say there's probably better than fifty to
fifty chances he'll go. But I think that Bo is

(29:09):
about the level that I feel comfortable saying. And we'll
see if the industry surprises us, and that we see
a scoobl or a Bladdie move as well.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi. That is at John Morosi.
Also he's a guy driving down the street trailing the
Frank Lay statue.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
John Paul is always appreciated, my friend. Enjoying the rest
of the week. We'll talk to you soon, buddy.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
You got it. Well, we've got elocution and annunciation lessons
planning for the Morosi girls tomorrow on how to say
newt Rocky and to get it right. And we're gonna
we're gonna work on that one.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
No sour patch kids unless you get that name right.
All right?

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Very good, Amen, God bless you, Thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
See you, buddy, have fun. He's got a conversation with
Joe Torre on is he does come up. It's a
big Hall of Fame weekend. He's got Joe Tory coming.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
That's I mean, he's got and he knows where pretty
much everything lies, so he can tell a lot of secrets.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon livethetirec dot Com
Studios coming up next. I'll be honest, I don't know
what we're going to do because Justin Frosberg says, oh no, no,
I got a story Smith that you're gonna wear it.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
I'm like, what is it? I'm not telling you?

Speaker 2 (30:18):
So is it?

Speaker 3 (30:18):
How bad that hat is that you just show?

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (30:21):
The All Star hats are not good. I tried to
rope you in with one. You said, well look at this.
I've already not wasting a segment on that hat.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
I've already looked at lids to see if the All
Star hats are half priced now not yet.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
It's ninety four hours for replicant yours.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, she's not buying that either. Uh So, Frostburg says,
something coued.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
You're gonna wear it? Smith, I just saw this. You're
gonna wear it. So that's coming up next right here
on Fox.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
What commercially use the song for? O?

Speaker 4 (30:56):
It's like a big bolt of lightning and someone's holding
something in their hand.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
It wasn't a doctor Pepper? Ad was was it? Doctor Pepper? Okay?
All right?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah yeah it was a soft drink. Yeah sure, yeah.
The lightning of the holding the doctor Pepper in their hands.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Short doctor doctor. Yes, yes, yes, it's very good.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Mike Harmon everybody way too much TV as Yeah, you did,
and I didn't fast forward over the commercial?

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Na, Well, when you couldn't, you had to watch it.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
I was watching, Uh, different strokes and what's happening when
I was supposed to be doing homework?

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Different stroke and reruns? Come on, what you're talking about? Well?

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Uh, the Chase Yemt Show with Mike Harmon live from
the tirec dot Com studios. All right again, I said
this a few minutes ago. I have no idea what
we're gonna talk about now. But once in a while,
Frostburg gets to a point and he says, you're gonna
wear this Smith, What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I got a story and you're gonna wear it. I'm like, okay,
what is it?

Speaker 1 (31:50):
He goes, I'm not gonna tell you, so, without further ado,
here is justin Frosburg with a story that apparently I'm
going to wear. As long as the story I'm gonna
wear does a look like the MLB All Star jerseys,
I'll wear it, but I'm not wearing something like that.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
We tie it, We tie it all together. Oh boy,
you didn't buy me one of those jerseys for Christmas?

Speaker 5 (32:08):
Right?

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Hey, here's early bucks. You know, spend anybody spends two
hundred dolls one of those jerseys. Goint of your head exactly,
That's what it is. Come on, I need that.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Basically the whole show.

Speaker 8 (32:19):
We've been talking about the ugly ass uniforms that the
All Stars were wearing the night in the All Star.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Game, right yeah, yeah, And the.

Speaker 8 (32:25):
Only reason the National League All Star uniforms look even
decent is because they're going up against the American League
uniforms was awful.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
National League is bad, just not as bad as America.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Well, we have a situation like that in the NBA
at summer league we do. Does this involve the Knicks.

Speaker 8 (32:43):
Where a certain someone named Brownie James now doesn't look
so bad because somebody else is way worse?

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Oh okay, because Brownie James has not been good. I
mean that was following up. That was really nice about it. Well,
here's the thing is, I mean I think we should
clip that out. And so that's right now, I'll always
be honest. Look, I was away on vacation, I was following,
so I missed the first couple of games of Bronnie
James Summer Leau.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Because I'm on vacation, I said, through every second of those,
I looked, I hate myself for doing I looked.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
At the numbers and I said, boy, I haven't missed anything. No,
I'm okay, he still hasn't hit a three. I was here,
left for England, went to Scotland, came back, did a couple.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Of showings Dumbledore, and came back. He still hasn't been
a threat.

Speaker 8 (33:30):
And yet there's somebody. Okay, he was decided it was
a good idea to hold Bronnie James's beard tonight.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Okay, So so someone that Bronnie makes Bronnie James.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
But this certain one, okay, it was very close to you,
Jason Smith.

Speaker 8 (33:43):
Ok okay, because you've been out there for months saying
the can't miss guy of the NBA Draft is Alex Sar.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
I've been saying that. I'm pretty sure you have.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
No I just stop stop making no Steph castles my guy.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
But no, it's a Alex. But Alex has been worse.

Speaker 8 (34:06):
Wait, yes, okay, you're for fifteen from the field. No,
come on, oh for seven from three point dude?

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Oh for fih for two from the free throw line.
Come on, man, oh my god, it's a second pick
in the draft. Oh he went, oh for fifteen?

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Oh for did they walk out on him like they
did on the other the other night? Right, remember Friday night.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
And get passed his test.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Well, because Friday night you had you had Bronnie James
and the Lakers and you had basically a full arena
there in in Las Vegas. And then they had the
number one versus number two picks and they were like nobody,
it was a.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Ghost lebron and say, oh, sure he is. Bronnie's not
that bad. Now look sorry to what do you have?
Nine rebounds and.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Falls? Did have three blocks? Oh for fifteen and for thteen?
Oh for fiftude, oh for fifteen. I gotta say, though,
and you're a big, but how are you all? You're
a big and you're oh for free? Do we have
a shot chartawn?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Man?

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Every is everything? Three feet men? Everything? I mean, how
are you?

Speaker 4 (35:13):
So they did to Brownie the other day, right, they
were doing a segment now this is you know what's
bad when ESPN is really taking it to you, And
they started doing a shot chart. They did him to
the disservice of not just putting up the chart. No, no, no,
they put up the xes for each of them individually.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
It's like miss miss man, Like, what now when you're
holding Brownie James's beer.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Yeah, Unfortunately for the Summer League game, I can't get
the shot distribution and the shot chart like we do. Uh,
it's so bad they didn't put it up. Maybe maybe
they did a ma solid there. I mean, that's thirteen.
I mean, how are you? How are you oh for man?

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Oh for you're oh for fifteen?

Speaker 1 (35:53):
I don't know what. I'll be honest with you. I'll
be honest with you. I don't know when on how
you can look this up? When is the last time
someone shot that badly from the field in a game
in the NBA? When's the last time someone was worse
than oh for foot? The dude, we're going to there,
We're in the Tampa Championship this year, man, But seriously,

(36:14):
when's the last time someone shot worse than oh for
fifteen from the foreign an NBA game?

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (36:21):
We're gonna have to uh go search that one out, man,
because there's there's got to be somebody there. I mean,
this is like telling me at please playing center. Like
one of the big stories last week you weren't here
for was Kevin Durrett let the cat out of the
bag said he's only sixty nine. I'll never look at
his career the same way. So maybe this guy is
only six to nine.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
So he decided to.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Just start shooting from everywhere as we're in the reboc pumps,
and that gave me an extra couple of inches.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Was supposed to be a seven foot Yeah, yeah, you're
supposed to be.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
But if you're seven feet, I'm marveling at what you're
doing around the perimeter and the way you slide up
and down. At six to nine, I've seen that before,
but it's not nearly as exciting this guy for fifteen.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
I'm trying to find a reason, trying to find an excuse.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
I really, I don't know what. When did someone shoot worse?
The last time someone was over over from the four?
Not one, because we've seen one for seventeen. When's the
last time someone shot worse and over fist that means
ross sixteen mickets from three point range for one player,
one player, not James Harden in the fourth quarter of
Rocket Game. No no, no, no, one player one NBA game.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
I do remember one, but I don't know if it's
the worst, but it's gotta be right there. Okay, I
remember in two thousand LA Lakers Pacers Reggie Miller went
one for sixteen in one of those games.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh he did, Yeah, I think it was game one.
He was like, one for sixteen game. But yeah, wow,
I mean that's unbelievable. Oh for fifteen, it's pretty impressive.
We'll have more on this, plus other big stuff. Out
