Let's give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:35):

(00:59):
I'll put my money on the mouth is tonight. You
know you talked about positivity last hour. My Pard and
I criticized you for not being positive about the Micah
Parson story because you wanted to say that he was
you know, he said throwing a tantrum and sand toys
and everything else. I'll put my money where my mouth is,
because you know what pains me to say this. It
doesn't really what I'm pretending is that. Listen, if you
(01:20):
want to do a good deed tonight, right if you
want to say, what can I do tonight here? How
can I pay it forward? How can I get some
good karma in my life? It is eleven o'clock on
the East coast, right eight o'clock or West coast where
Mike and I are. If you have a friend who's
a Yankee fan, call him and check in on him,
because they're not doing great right now. No, Jerry are
(01:43):
They are not doing great after what happened tonight. Oh man,
I'll tell you. And I thought I had a bad
night with the Mets losing to the Giants four to
three and Ronnie Marisio striking out with the bases load
in the bottom of the tenth sitting. No, no, no, hey,
I got nothing out yet, bad, But I got nothing
on the Yankees tonight. This is what just happened. The
(02:04):
Yankees and the Marlins a game. The Yankees were up
nine to four in the seventh inning. Okay, the Marlins
are you know, Look, they're not terrible. They're a five
hundred ish team. But hey, here are the Yankees that
made their big moves. The deadline all times and excitement. Yeah,
things are great, right, yeah, wonderful. They're up nine to four.
Everything is good. The Marlins score six in the bottom
(02:28):
of the seventh to take the lead ten to nine. Right,
Oh my goodness, the sky is falling for the Yankees.
But hey, not so fast, my friend. In the words
of Lee Corso, right, Volpi, it's a home run to
tie the game at ten. Right, McMahon, who they traded
for a couple of weeks ago. I'll tell you what, McMahon,
you can McMahon gets a hit to bring in a run.
(02:50):
Volpi doubles to bring in another run. So suddenly, hey, Volpi, McMahon,
look at these guys we were in twelve ten going
to the bottom of the ninth inning. Everything is wonderful,
right hey, And here comes our brand new closer. Right
here comes Camillo. Devall. We know, I know, we said
that Devin Williams was our closer, but really we were
just lying. Sah, yeah, here comes de vault fresh. We
(03:12):
got him. We're ready to move vall. Awesome. Well, he
gets into a little bit of trouble and a big
error ties the game at twelve. So all of a sudden,
the Yankees go from a twelve to ten lead. Here
just got to close out the bottom of the ninth inning.
Now the game is tied to twelve, and then here's
how the Marlins walked it off to one. From here
(03:35):
is a little triple right front of the play. Texterwel
picks it up.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's con He's the craziest game of the year.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
It's a swimmy puntz from the former Yankee prospect obvious.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Sweet even has come in from third. This game is.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Rover and this team is electric. H you know the
Marlins are electric.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Look this fot This is one of those plays that
it's hard to sit back and believe in karma and fate.
What do you think? Sometimes it's just not your years
not But this is one of those plays that that
tells you about that, right, because this is something where
it is just a little dribbler in front of the plate,
right Ramirez, you heard former Yankee farm man Ramirez hits one.
(04:33):
And yes it's a swinging butt, but there's so much
english on the ball, right, Like he bounces and it
and it just bounces a little bit to the right,
like down the fraight, doesn't go straight back out towards
towards the pitcher's mound. It kind of dies off his
bat and kind of dovetails a little bit to the right,
and you can't get to the ball in time. There
(04:56):
was no way. There was nothing that Wells could do.
He had to go the ball to even make it
off the dirt in front of home plate. Do you
make it onto the grass by the time he goes
out there to get it, and an incredible speed with
Edwards scampering home from third well ahead of the tag
like this is one of those plays where you go,
this shouldn't happen. It's a perfectly placed, dropped, swinging bunt
(05:18):
in front of the plate, and you have the wherewithal
and the speed at third base to score. This is
one of those times where I just walk in. If
I'm the Yankees, if I'm Aaron Boone, I just throw
my hands and go. Sometimes, man, it's just not your years.
Sometimes it's just not your time. And it's hard to
think that because it's one hundred and sixty two games
(05:38):
or momentum changes every day, but certain losses during the
year in Major League Baseball is when you sit back
and go, you know, what are we doing this for? Right?
Like you have times in your life you come home
from work and go, what am I doing this for?
What am I doing? What should I be doing? Something
different with my life here? Personally, you come home and go,
what am I doing? Am I really is this relationship
going forward? What am I doing here? And sometimes you
(06:00):
shake yourself out of it and you Okay, they've had
a bad couple of minutes there. But sometimes you sit
back and you think about it for a while. I
gotta think about what I'm doing with my job or
this relationship or whatever it is. This is where your
Yankee fan, you're one of the Yankees, you gotta sit
back and go, man, is this really gonna happen for
us this year? Man? Because boy, I'll tell you, man,
I don't I don't know what to say about this.
We blow a five run seventh inning lead against the Marlins,
(06:22):
We take a three run lead, we take a two
run lead in the bottom of the ninth and our
new closer or new electric back of the bullpen guy
comes in and we lose because we make an error
in right field and then it's a it's the most
perfectly placed Q shot in front of the plate that
we lose to. Like, really, this is if I'm the Yankees,
I really start wondering, you know, the like you like
(06:44):
to say, Mike, the meaning of life and what we're
getting here, if it's gonna work for us. This is
one of those games for the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I'm having that as I'm sitting here in the studio
looking to my left and there's an empty chair. But
it's just the idea that you're right back where you
were last year, because now you're having flashbacks to everything
that plagued you and took you out of a World
Series game and ultimately out of a series win. You
(07:11):
know you didn't and you just stated and had that
marinade all off season. Now you get into the second
half of the year, you're excited. Here's the guys coming back.
Like I said, Stanton is back in your lineup and
he's starting to hit. He's like, all right, great, you're
gonna wait on Judge. All this wishing, wanting, hoping, and
then all the things that came back, including the aforementioned
(07:35):
Judge error that you know you're all picturing it right
now as I say it. And if you hate the Yankees,
you might be grinning, you might be laughing. Maybe you
took a sip of your drink and just like yeah, Yankees.
So now it's the back of the fish rap that's
gonna talk once again about how fielding did them in
(07:55):
fundamentals and Aaron Boone losing his mind. You're lucky because
now you're just relegated to either the top or bottom
where it'll be a glib one liner. Yankees are going
front and center on this one. I mean, really, it
seems by the fish, it seems like there are forces
working against us. I mean that may be the case.
(08:18):
Maybe you used up all your good will.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh man, they use it up. And when did uh
when did the bill come do? A fifth inning of
Game five of the World Series. That's when the bill
came due for the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Absolute insanity, Like I've now seeing this play in right
field about seven times in a row. I know it
looks worse every time.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, i'd be really, I mean the other.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Is just a you know, an unlucky you know number
uh the play and right field like, oh, he's gonna
come up gunning no, he's not. He forgot something. But
I tell you what. His form otherwise was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh this new look key bullpen. Now right, here's a
new super Yankee bullpen. What what are their numbers to night? Look,
I got them for you.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Two and a third innings pitched, nine runs allowed. There's
your there's your Yankee bullpen.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
There you have it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Oh my goodness. So I texted. I texted my dad
right because I, like, I said, put my money wear
my mouth is right after this. I mean, this is
just an absolutely awful, awful game. No, no, no, I checked.
I wanted to check in on him. I put my
money were mouth. It's like, okay, let let's see. So
I checked in and I said, hey, are you okay
after that? And he said, yeah, I'm just gonna catch
(09:37):
up on my sleep from that fiasco on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Now he's going back to Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
He's still catching up for the Yankees for two days.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Wow, hello darkness, my old friend.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh man. And so I checked in on Fabiano, right,
you know, the other big Yankee fan I know, and
he said, and he texted me back, what a joke.
I hate Cashman. I was at the game and I
forgot because he lives in Florida. He's he's going to
all the games this week. Maybe he's not going to
go after this game tonight, but he's going to all
the games this week.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, he may not show up tomorrow. You might. You
might have a ticket available if you're looking to go
to a game.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah no, I mean, Chad, check in with your fellow
friend Yankee fan friends, because it is not good right now. Man,
Look it's it's very rare. Because again, I get it right,
I look at baseball my entire life. This is why
I would be a terrible manager in baseball, but a
great GM, because I would sit here and say, we
have to change everything. We've lost three in a row.
We gotta change it all. Right, thought i'd be a
(10:43):
horrible manager. But sometimes there are losses that you know
you get at the end of the year. So they
do this in Chicago, I know they do this in
New York a lot. They do it here in LA
where they say, Okay, here are the five losses that
doomed so and so season, or here's the five wins
that made the season right because of how big they
(11:05):
were and the after effects of them, and usually you know,
because the Mets, when they do it, it's usually the
five losses that do them the season. And and I go, okay,
I remember that game. Remember that game, Like if the
Yankees season like has been just free falling for the
last five weeks, Like you look back at this game
and you say, this might be that moment that sets
them on a long losing streak or just things just
(11:27):
start even more fall apart for them, because this is
this is the excitement of the trade deadline and starting
over and here and here's our new bullpen. Right, it's
not just we lost, it's all the new guys we
got we want to unwrap and unveil, and we lose
because of them. Like it's it's so maddening. Not all
loss in baseball are created equal. Most of them are
most number one of one hundred and sixty two. There's
(11:49):
a handful of year that are more on both sides. Right,
Some wins are bigger than just one out of one
sixty two. I would say there's four or five in
a year and the four or five losses. But for
the Yankees, boy, I don't know if there's a bigger
one than this. I mean, this game, this game is
was an electric game. It's it's gonna it's all of
a sudden, it's exploding on social media like this Yankee loss.
(12:10):
Like I would not be surprised if we look back
and say, yeah, that's a loss that killed the Yankees.
That's the one that killed the Yankee season right there.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, curious to watch how they respond tomorrow, right, I mean,
this is one of them that may have lingering effects
because you did have to go to the pen a
few times. Rodan only got into the fifth before he
was chased nine strikeouts. That's all fine and good, but
chased out of this one. And then you have to
go h and bring out all your shiny new toys
off the the trade deadline, and it went for not
(12:40):
so sattle up for another one and again the Marlin.
I love that call. I mean that's just fan. This
team is electric. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, two games within
two games and five hundred it's kind of anough gal.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I mean, come on yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
And it's you know tape that you want cut. It's
like put that in my promo.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, and you know, look, I mean and I don't
know what is gonna be. What's more of Oh my goodness,
I can't believe it if it's gonna be the the
number in front of home plate or Cabiero again, who's
a big trade deadline acquisition who just completely biffs the
base hit and the ball rolls all the way to
(13:20):
the wall, which brings everybody around a score. And that's
how the Yankees give up the lead Like this is
this is a complete and total failure from just I mean,
all of their new acqua oh gods they were bringing.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I would say this the fielding play is a bigger
deal because that's I mean, that's correctable, that is actionable,
that is I'm a big league outfielder. The other one
is just bad luck, like that's the uh sage brush,
that's the my god, the baseball gods hate us kind
of moment. The other is just a mental and physical
(13:57):
convergence of just another grew up, which again is just
flashbacks of what cost you the World Series a year ago.
So that's gonna stick, I think a lot more. The
other is just what the hell right? It's like when
the guy hits the little little squib out in front
of the the first or third base line that the
(14:17):
fielder watches like, oh, it's gonna roll out and now
and then it just dies because there's a little bit
of extra dirt that had been kicked there or whatever
the case is. Like, this is just bad luck, so
that one you can get past the other. No, not
not even close.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I mean this is I mean really the first one
is how I can't believe we blew this, and the
and the second one is, Okay, it's just not it's
just not. It's not our year. It's just it's just not.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I don't know what we've been celebrating though, all these
you know, cannon for arms, guys in the outfield, going
back to the acuon you throw and some of the
other it didn't even field it. He didn even get
a chance to throw or throw a lollipop or throw
a terribly upward back you know, up the line or
behind the catcher or whatever. Like we didn't even get
a throw. I mean, that's that's one of those I'd
(15:08):
like that on a baseball card. I want that on
a sports flick. Oh look at we got a fielding play.
It's like no, no, no, it's because he didn't field
the ball.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Oh man, I it really it is a This is
an absolute stunner, and it's gonna be the big highlight
you see for the next twenty four hours. I've got
blowing the lead. There's so many that to me, there's
so much drama with this game. There's the big lead
that you're feeling great. You're up, you know, you're up
six nothing, Okay. Then it's nine to four. You're feeling great, Right,
(15:36):
the trade deadline happened, you have new acquisitions, you're feeling
really good. Okay, you blow the lead, all right, but
then you retake the lead and you're feeling, hey, this
is what good teams do. That's what great teams doing.
And a couple of guys that you were hoping come
through for you. Write Volpi, he has been Oh, Vopy's
not Jeter, I don't understand all. Wicky comes to with
a home run in a double McMahon gets a big
hit and scores and scores the right. Okay, the guy
(15:57):
we brought in awesome, awesome, awesome. And then you have
the ninth inning where Cabiero makes the error and then
the number front home plate and it's all the guys
you got at the deadline blew it for you, Like,
how do you come back from that again, how do
you come back from that?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, it's funny how that works, that convergence of events.
There's no question about that. I guess you just say, well,
we still have fifty plus games, and you try not
to look at what the Blue Jays and other teams
that you're you're fighting with are doing. I mean, I
don't know. It's it's one of one sixty two in theory.
(16:37):
In practice, this one's hard, right, because you had multiple
opportunities to finish the job and start the second half
off right your point. A couple of your acquisitions had
big moments and big all right, welcome to New York.
You're now part of the squad. And then you know,
is there a song I play? Right field? He kind
(16:58):
of got hidden as a in because everybody was a
poll hitter.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon, who wanted
to bring you that big breaking end of the game
between the Yankees and the Marlin's just absolutely unbelievable sanity.
And man, I'll tell you my dad, I got I
gotta bring my dad coffee tomorrow. I think that's'm gonna do.
I'm gonna help you. My dad. Here, I'll bring you coffee.
He goes, what'd you putting it in error in right field? No, dad, Dad,
(17:26):
it's just coffee. Just drinking. Okay, just just drink. Exit
out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. All right. So
coming up next, we'll get back into that story I

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Two one Premirez a little tripler right in.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Front of the play.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
That's a wealth come fit a score from the He's
the craziest. It's a swinging punt from the former Yankee
prospects see demons from this game is over and this team.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Is electric unreal Marlin's Radio.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Now, I mean, you don't get to tell you guys
speed demons much anymore. No, no, yeah, it usually takes
on a whole other connotation and problematic approach.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
And you don't get the swinging butt too, because you
get that, Like I remember when I was little and
and I heard about the swinging butt, I'm like, wow
that you gotta be really good to be able to
do that, like to like you want to bunt and
you swinging bunt. Oh no, no, it's just you really
you just get on top of the ball and chop
it down the line. Yeah, that's a swinging butt. Oh
got it? Got it? Okay, Yeah, okay, it's swinging punt.
All right, right, I mean, come on, I'll tell you
(20:57):
that what a what I can't it over? I mean,
it's there's nothing that went right for the Yankee tonight, right,
nothing that this could be a loss that sinks their season.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They blow a big lead, they scored twelve runs.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Everybody they brought in that the deadline did poorly, including
their closer and outfielder. And I mean, come but Yaro
got traded mid game the other time. Yeah, and he commituitely,
he completely blows the play the base hitting right field
that that gives him two runs in the ninth inning.
Like this game, like there's nothing, there's nothing you can
cut this up and say, hey, guys, a lot of
(21:31):
positives tonight. We'll get back at it tomorrow. Like there's
there's just no way.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Well, vote had four hits.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Nothing, that's good, Okay, that's great.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that got him up to
two twenty three. Sure, yeah, he didn't make he didn't
make that error. Imagine if he made that error. There's
nothing you can say. I mean, Jamina's had three hits.
I mean, come on, you, my goodness, I mean trying hard.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Man. The bullpen went two in the third innings and
gave up seven runs. Man, I mean, this is it.
There's nothing you can say, right, I mean, I mean
you know what, Burn and Bednor come in and gave
up four and two runs. I mean what and then
nicletton then you bring in the wall. Okay, great, and.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
He gave it three is just the one?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
A nightmare for the Yankees?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Oh, you were enjoying this so much? Yeah, no I
am because no. I mean, your team loses, No, I
don't care. That's Giants intent and you're like, aha, whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That bad loss makes it look like the Mets had
a day off compared to what the Yankees went through. Yeah,
that's fine. No one's gonna talk about that after tonight. No,
I'm good. I'm good. You kidding me.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I'm gonna be updating the New York Post website all
night to figure out what the hell really?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I mean, look, the New York Post. I mean they
might break the internet tonight with whatever headline they're gonna
wind up having for this Yankee game.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I really wait, well no, because what is the uh
the back page cover story from yesterday was strong Armed.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah yeah, now it's now it's the one on the
back of the New York Post right now just says
gut punch Yankees new deadline pieces, blow lead and bizarre,
crushing loss. Meet the new bullpen, same as the old bullpen.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Yeah, yesterday you had the or for today's paper. It
was the upper part was Nick's build extension bridges. Yeah
pretty good. Yeah, yeah, it's got like strong Armed Yankees
on trio of stud relievers on deadline.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah, all that is done. Yesterday they were studs.
Now it's same same bullpen, same guys. Yesterday you were heroes.
Today you're the worst. I love you.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
The picture on the right right of the page, that
was a picture of Cedric Mullins. You got that little
insert of him. But yeah no, the next twenty four hours, boy,
I tell you, that is the checking on all your
Yankee fan friends.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
That is the that's the absolute because if they were.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Front running, they just got runned over.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
So we have more baseball on the way. And again,
so no matter what your team did tonight, hey, at
least the Yankees look at the end of that game
and go, oh, man, I got nothing to complain about.
I'm good. I'm good man, I'm walking away. I'm walking away.
So I want to say I have good news for you,
but you're gonna say no, because you're gonna think I'm
putting some kind of voodoo hex heck o, you know,
(24:21):
putting some kind of voodoo X side oop telled you Ricky, Bobby,
You're gonna put that X on me. But there might
not be a quarterback with more pressure on him this
year than Caleb Williams. Right, obviously, year two. And the
thing is year one wasn't terrible for him. It's not
like the guy showed up and he threw eight touchdowns
and seventeen interceptions. He wasn't Zach Wilson, right. He still
(24:42):
he threw twenty touchdowns, didn't turn the football over a lot. No,
but there are some.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Very downfield right. No, I'm negative five and yards, dude.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I'm not saying I'm not saying it was great, but
I'm not saying it wasn't terrible. I mean it's like,
oh my god, like you think he was Zach Wilson.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
No, he he had that great streak, that interceptionless strength.
Then everybody got excited about him. I go, don't look
at his shot chart got curried through the ball further
towards a basket. Then he did what.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
What do you want to say about those fifteen incomplete
passes in a row? Yes, zero interceptions. Right? You like that? Right?
You like that. So you would think that he would
talk about, Hey, I understand what it is to succeed
and the pressure that saw me this year. I get it.
I get it. But no, no, he goes on ESPN
Radio one thousand and says, pressure. I laugh in the
(25:33):
face of pressure.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
Pressure is in a Pressure is not a thing for me.
I don't, you know, think of life that way, in
the situation that I'm in. And so, you know, we
keep chugging along, and you know, there's gonna be ups
and downs, and it's not you know, it's not my
job to care about with the outside, you know, noises and.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Things like that.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
My job is take care of everything in here and
go out there and play, you know. And I didn't
you know, I uh, I know we didn't win as
many games we wanted to last year, but you know
I didn't I didn't go twenty and twenty in interceptions
and things like that. So you know, take it for
what you want. But no pressure is uh preleg pressure
(26:13):
is a privilege. But you know, in the situation that
I'm at, I don't think I have pressure.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Okay, first of all, you're ridiculous. There's so much pressure
on you. Now, maybe you don't feel it as much,
or everybody feels pressure in different ways, but you can't
sit and say there's no pressure, because there is. Right,
you were the number one overall pick in the draft,
supposed to break this strength of this big streak of
Bears quarterbacks coming in and not playing well, and you're
(26:37):
gonna be the franchise guy. And look, last year wasn't terrible.
You had some other things outside of your control, right.
You had the big fail Mary loss, which is a
big deal.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Brought line.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, the offensive line was terrible, and he kept getting hit.
I think he got hit on ninety eight percent of
his dropbacks the last seven weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I'd love to go back. And it's the pie chart
thing that we talked about with quarterback sixty eight sacks absorbed?
How many were his? How many of your fifty to
fifty balls? How much were the old line?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah, no, I know how much?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Just to keep that interceptionless streak alive.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You know what, if I get planted, if I chuck
this up, it's gonna be a sack.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You know what. Instead, I'm just gonna hold onto it.
Oh all right, great, great, great, Okay, Now, but look
I disagree, but it's fine because I am a firm
believer that he takes that leap this year. Right, he
takes the he has the year A lot of it
for Caleb Williams was he wasn't Jade and Daniels. And
you look, Jayden Daniels became a top five quarterback in
(27:41):
the NFL. Was rookie year. It's like, oh my, come on, man.
I mean, so I get some of it is he
wasn't Jayden Daniels. But he's got ambitions, right, you know
that's not Caleb Williams is coming here saying I'm collecting
a paycheck and I'm done. But he's now in a
position to succeed. Right. They brought in the weapons last
year and what happened Romadonsay you thought was gonna be
(28:02):
a big time contributor right away. Ah, not quite. He
needed a year to get into it. Maybe he takes
a leap this year. Keenan Allen was not great all right.
Keenan Allen looked like he got old in the middle
of the season last year. So suddenly it was well,
we got DJ Moore who was still really, really good,
but maybe the weapons weren't exactly what we thought they
were gonna be running back again the bear. The bear's
(28:23):
been trying to find somebody since Neil Anderson. So okay,
I like Anderson, but now this year, okay, you have
another year for a Doonsay. In the offense, Uh, you
have a new head coach that has come in that
is quarterback friendly, that is a guy that's gonna get
you buying. And Ben Johnson. Uh, look, Jared Goff turned
into a Pro Bowl, all pro level quarterback under Ben Johnson.
(28:45):
So I feel like Caleb Williams is in good hands.
And oh, by the way, you got new starters at
guard and center, right, I mean Toney and Dolman are
gonna be new starters this year. And that's an upgrade
over last year. So he's gonna spend less time on
his back and less time looking to tuck the ball
away because he's got no time to throw it. He's
(29:06):
in a much more he's in much more position to
succeed this year than he was last year because while
last year was hey, we will give you the tool, right,
we give you all the weapons because it is right.
I remember talking about this last Hey, look on paper,
this looks great. Right. You have the stud wide receiver,
you have the rookie stud wide receiver. You have the
veteran in Keenan Allen cole Comet is a really serviceable,
underrated tight end. Okay, you're making moves running back wise,
(29:28):
you're trying to figure things. Got I get it, Man,
I get it. This is going to be. Things are
in place for you. But then you see all the
leaky holes, right, you see the coaching staff being being
to getting to a point where the players stopped buying in.
At some point during the season, the offense became a
lost cause two of the big weapons you decided to
bring in offensively were not really contributing at all. Yeah,
(29:50):
no one's gonna succeed in that time. Now, I feel
like Williams is in a position to succeed, and he
did flash at times last year, and it's not gonna
be a year of well, at least he's not throwing.
This is where they put points on the board. This
is where he looks like we expect him to look
last year. If he doesn't have a year this year
of over four thousand yards and thirty touchdowns, I would
(30:13):
I would really be surprised, right, if it's not some
kind of four thousand and thirty and eight type year
for him, thirty touchdowns, eight picks, I'd be really surprised.
I think that's the leap he takes this year in
this offense.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Look at you, I mean, I hope you're right. Do
I believe it? No? I know he's set up the
four thousand yard and seventy percent completion right again, if
he only got to sixty two percent last year with
all the dinking and dunking they did, seventy, boy, I
tell you we don't often get I mean seventy. I
(30:45):
think they said, you know, first two years in the league,
and there's been only a handful of guys in NFL history.
If he does it, I'll be the first to be
say I was wrong in terms of I think he
could play. I think there's there's a lot to work
with that. Whether it happens that quickly, I'm a skeptic,
(31:06):
of course, I you know, and many many years burned
by winning the off season or great reports out of
camp and whatever else you bring in Coleston Loveland, you
you still have comet, right, he was rumored to potentially
beyond the block, but he's still there as we sit
here and you talk about the upgrades on the old line,
like all of it in theory is great with a
(31:28):
a Waldron's gone. We watched the weird thing where I
think Thomas Brown got promoted like nine times, like he
was a Stanz in like a week and a half.
Hey you're in charge. Oh okay, what I'm like, Well,
you went from you know, passing, passing and coordinator to
uh well now you're you're running that whole show. Good
good luck. Uh So all of that to say, look,
(31:51):
it's like the Beatles, it's getting better all the time.
And then parenthetically it was always it can't get much
worse over under still eight and a half for the wins,
And I'm expecting to take strides. And Johnson is a
tough love guy in terms of get him on, get
him over, get him in right, because it's all about timing,
it's all about precision. And so this preseason that all
(32:14):
of these training camp reports that you get out, I'd
take them all with a grain of salt. Of course,
you never know how much work's going on behind the scenes.
Maybe someone's actually sitting in the film room with him
this year, which is something he said didn't happen often
for a while last year. But yeah, the lofty expectations
you put, I hope you're right, because then we'll be
(32:36):
talking a lot more Bears than Jets.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And I'm a big Colston Loveland fan too. Some of
the catches he made last year, like this Michigan team
had zero quarterback last year, right, And that's what people forget,
is it Colston Loveland. Yet there's a reason why the
guy went so high. He still showed you that he
could be dominant on the field where he was catching
passes from a seventh year senior and a gadget guy,
(33:01):
and and people who shouldn't have even been on the team.
And I again, I don't know how the how Michigan
blows their quarterback position a year after winning the National
Championship like they did last year, which is why they
you know, they paid fifty million dollars for Bryce Underwood,
but like they had nobody to throw the football. And
still I'm watching him dominate games and making catches where
I'm like, here's no way he gets that. And on
(33:23):
the boundary he sticks his right arm out and somehow
pulls it and gets his feet down, Like this guy
is really special. Like they went out, Okay, you know,
Comet was an underachieving tight end but now obviously hasn't
played it down in the NFL. But but I love
how he projects. I'm telling you, this should be four
thousand and thirty and eight for Caleb Williams this year.
I'd be really surprised if it's not time out to
(33:44):
find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
A guy who's been called the Caleb Williams of Fox
Sports Radio doesn't believe in pressure either. It's Steve Disager
with what's trending. Boy, there are a lot.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
Of succumbing under pressure in Major League Baseball. Tonight, we'll
get to the Yankees game in a moment. There were
a couple other very high scoring games. Milwaukee won sixteen
to nine at Washington, for example. There's an i scoring
game at Colorado still going right now. Let's start with
the Yankees loss Miami thirteen to twelve, the final with
three runs in the bottom of the ninth. Ap says
(34:16):
the last time the Yankees scored twelve in a road
game and still lost was nineteen forty and stat Zink says,
with these high scoring games, it only happened one other
time in the modern era, where on the same day
in the majors, you have three different ballgames with at
least twenty five runs combined in each. This Pittsburgh game
going on right now, sixteen to twelve. Pirates lead at
(34:39):
Colorado in the bottom of the ninth and Pittsburgh led
to nothing in the first. In fact, they had a
first inning that hasn't happened in the majors since the
eighteen hundreds, where they not only scored at least nine
runs with at least ten hits, but it included a
grand slam and a three run homer in the first inning. Again,
(35:00):
not over yet, boy, they could use Bednard right now.
Sixteen twelve at Colorado. Wow, that my you saw Bednor
pitch tonight, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
If you go back to your pressure coming, you put
on the pinstripes, you're in it. It's a little bit different.
And there were a ton of Yankees fans. By the way,
this Miami team is averaging twelve thousand fans a game.
They had thirty two thousand and a lot of noise
there tonight, and still Miami gets three in the bottom
of the ninth for a thirteen to twelve win against
(35:31):
the Yanks. Ten inning victories for Boston and Cleveland and
San Francisco, which beat the Mets in New York four,
three and ten. That ends a six game losing streak
of the Giants. Dodgers won five nothing at Tampa Bay.
Clayton Kershaw five and two got the win with six
scoreless innings and no walks. Philadelphia is alone and first
in the NL East, now a half game up on
(35:52):
the Mets. Philly scored two in the bottom of the
eighth to beat Detroit five to four. The saved and
new closer Joean Duran just four pitches needed for his
three outs Milwaukee and the Cubs each one Cincinnati as well.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
A reminder.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
MLB's Speedway Classic is Saturday, a ballgame at Bristol Motor Speedway.
On Fox TV Saturday Night, Brays versus Reds Dallas Cowboys
defensive end Micah Parsons requested a trade, saying he no
longer wants to be there. He's entering the final year
of his rookie deal. Free agent wide receiver Keenan Allen
visited the Chargers. Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison misspractice again
(36:29):
with a sore knee. Bucks quarterback Baker Mayfield miss practice
with a brused hand, and among the late ballgames, A's
lead Arizona five to nothing in the fifth. WNBA wins
for Connecticut and Indiana.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Coming up next,
The NBA story that just gets more and more juicy.
You think it's gonna go away, but it is still
going strong. That's next right here. Fox.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Be sure to catch live editions Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Okay, I know it's the Rockies and
the Pirates. Okay, I know this right. I wanted to
get to Lebron too. But this tonight, if you think
the Yankees and the Marlins was something, I don't even
know what to tell you. At this point, the Pirates
(37:25):
and the Rockies just ended. The Pirates scored nine runs
in the top of the first inning. They led this
game nine to nothing. Okay, nine nothing.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Hey, the Rockies got one back in the first.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
They did, they did. They led the game nine nothing,
and they let and then Colorado, you know, chipped away
a little bit, chipped away a little bit. Okay, that's fine,
and that's fine. But in the ninth inning, Pittsburgh goes
into the bottom of the ninth inning in Colorado with
a four run lead. They lead this thing sixteen to twelve. Okay,
(38:01):
sixteen to twelve is the score going to the bottom
of the ninth inning. And not only do the Rockies
score five, they win it on a walk off home
run by Brenton Doyle, who goes four for five on
the night, a two run homer. Five runs in the
(38:23):
bottom of the ninth the Rockies Colorado wins at seventeen
to sixteen, two touchdowns for Bonnicks. Here is the final call,
Steve de Seger, you have the final call the rock
the Shirts game. Let's hear it deep. I've never seen
(38:45):
anything like this.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Jo thirty three runs, forty hits.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
In but just sixteen for Pitts. You know, Aaron Rodgers
not having a good day. They expecting more from him offensively.
But look, hey, hey, you know Sean Payton out coaching,
Mike Tomlin winning seven. This is like one of those
games like in the early nineties at Corsphild they happened
all the time.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Where this is the way it went the end of
the game, right, and you got the celebration. I think
the Rockies should be docked two runs for those terrible uniforms,
but that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Maybe they were. Maybe that's why it was a nine
run first. Maybe the Pirates just got nine because of it,
like they didn't you know, hey, we don't have to
bat in the first. They just gave us nine because.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah, I don't even know how to describe them. They're terrible.
But the shot of O'Neil Cruz, going back to the dugout.
You know, earlier in the show we were talking about
you know, you have those days of what the hell
am I doing here? And in any aspect of your life,
you're sitting in traffic, you're having battles, maybe your kids
and you are and you know, driving on you know,
(39:55):
whatever you got going on, you were other relationships, your
work relationship, whatever heart, whatever aspect is like what am
I doing? That was the O'Neil Cruz look as he
walked the dugout and put his glove up, like, wow,
it's like a groundhog day for me over here.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Really, this is I can't we thought that. I see
your Yankees Marlins game and I raise you a Rockies
Pirates game. I'm Malkovich licking the Oreo cookie. Ah yeah,
you want to do Okay, let's bet it, let's go, let's.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Go believable, really shay, And over there, you got what's
his name, Rispoli is Grandma? Watch what are we doing
over here?
Speaker 1 (40:40):
You know? You know we talk about this a lot
in football. How for the all the big NFL films
like Season in Review that he used to do all
the time. Here's a half hour of the Jets season
of the Bear season and if you were terrible, right,
they all they took all the best hid when they
show because I don't want to show that you were terrible.
They take all the best highlights from one game. Yeah,
and they play it for all this Hey, this was
(41:03):
the best you had last year. Like, if you did
a half hour Rocky show this year, you would show
every highlight from this game. Every single highlight would be
from this game. And then yeah, we may lost one
hundred and twenty five games and set the all time record,
but man, we came back from down nine against the
Pirates and won.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Do you remember the start of the second half of
the season, mid you, I'll tell you some.

(00:59):
I'll put my money on the mouth is tonight. You
know you talked about positivity last hour. My Pard and
I criticized you for not being positive about the Micah
Parson story because you wanted to say that he was
you know, he said throwing a tantrum and sand toys
and everything else. I'll put my money where my mouth is,
because you know what pains me to say this. It
doesn't really what I'm pretending is that. Listen, if you
(01:20):
want to do a good deed tonight, right if you
want to say, what can I do tonight here? How
can I pay it forward? How can I get some
good karma in my life? It is eleven o'clock on
the East coast, right eight o'clock or West coast where
Mike and I are. If you have a friend who's
a Yankee fan, call him and check in on him,
because they're not doing great right now. No, Jerry are
(01:43):
They are not doing great after what happened tonight. Oh man,
I'll tell you. And I thought I had a bad
night with the Mets losing to the Giants four to
three and Ronnie Marisio striking out with the bases load
in the bottom of the tenth sitting. No, no, no, hey,
I got nothing out yet, bad, But I got nothing
on the Yankees tonight. This is what just happened. The
(02:04):
Yankees and the Marlins a game. The Yankees were up
nine to four in the seventh inning. Okay, the Marlins
are you know, Look, they're not terrible. They're a five
hundred ish team. But hey, here are the Yankees that
made their big moves. The deadline all times and excitement. Yeah,
things are great, right, yeah, wonderful. They're up nine to four.
Everything is good. The Marlins score six in the bottom
(02:28):
of the seventh to take the lead ten to nine. Right,
Oh my goodness, the sky is falling for the Yankees.
But hey, not so fast, my friend. In the words
of Lee Corso, right, Volpi, it's a home run to
tie the game at ten. Right, McMahon, who they traded
for a couple of weeks ago. I'll tell you what, McMahon,
you can McMahon gets a hit to bring in a run.
(02:50):
Volpi doubles to bring in another run. So suddenly, hey, Volpi, McMahon,
look at these guys we were in twelve ten going
to the bottom of the ninth inning. Everything is wonderful,
right hey, And here comes our brand new closer. Right
here comes Camillo. Devall. We know, I know, we said
that Devin Williams was our closer, but really we were
just lying. Sah, yeah, here comes de vault fresh. We
(03:12):
got him. We're ready to move vall. Awesome. Well, he
gets into a little bit of trouble and a big
error ties the game at twelve. So all of a sudden,
the Yankees go from a twelve to ten lead. Here
just got to close out the bottom of the ninth inning.
Now the game is tied to twelve, and then here's
how the Marlins walked it off to one. From here
(03:35):
is a little triple right front of the play. Texterwel
picks it up.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's con He's the craziest game of the year.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
It's a swimmy puntz from the former Yankee prospect obvious.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Sweet even has come in from third. This game is.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Rover and this team is electric. H you know the
Marlins are electric.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Look this fot This is one of those plays that
it's hard to sit back and believe in karma and fate.
What do you think? Sometimes it's just not your years
not But this is one of those plays that that
tells you about that, right, because this is something where
it is just a little dribbler in front of the plate,
right Ramirez, you heard former Yankee farm man Ramirez hits one.
(04:33):
And yes it's a swinging butt, but there's so much
english on the ball, right, Like he bounces and it
and it just bounces a little bit to the right,
like down the fraight, doesn't go straight back out towards
towards the pitcher's mound. It kind of dies off his
bat and kind of dovetails a little bit to the right,
and you can't get to the ball in time. There
(04:56):
was no way. There was nothing that Wells could do.
He had to go the ball to even make it
off the dirt in front of home plate. Do you
make it onto the grass by the time he goes
out there to get it, and an incredible speed with
Edwards scampering home from third well ahead of the tag
like this is one of those plays where you go,
this shouldn't happen. It's a perfectly placed, dropped, swinging bunt
(05:18):
in front of the plate, and you have the wherewithal
and the speed at third base to score. This is
one of those times where I just walk in. If
I'm the Yankees, if I'm Aaron Boone, I just throw
my hands and go. Sometimes, man, it's just not your years.
Sometimes it's just not your time. And it's hard to
think that because it's one hundred and sixty two games
(05:38):
or momentum changes every day, but certain losses during the
year in Major League Baseball is when you sit back
and go, you know, what are we doing this for? Right?
Like you have times in your life you come home
from work and go, what am I doing this for?
What am I doing? What should I be doing? Something
different with my life here? Personally, you come home and go,
what am I doing? Am I really is this relationship
going forward? What am I doing here? And sometimes you
(06:00):
shake yourself out of it and you Okay, they've had
a bad couple of minutes there. But sometimes you sit
back and you think about it for a while. I
gotta think about what I'm doing with my job or
this relationship or whatever it is. This is where your
Yankee fan, you're one of the Yankees, you gotta sit
back and go, man, is this really gonna happen for
us this year? Man? Because boy, I'll tell you, man,
I don't I don't know what to say about this.
We blow a five run seventh inning lead against the Marlins,
(06:22):
We take a three run lead, we take a two
run lead in the bottom of the ninth and our
new closer or new electric back of the bullpen guy
comes in and we lose because we make an error
in right field and then it's a it's the most
perfectly placed Q shot in front of the plate that
we lose to. Like, really, this is if I'm the Yankees,
I really start wondering, you know, the like you like
(06:44):
to say, Mike, the meaning of life and what we're
getting here, if it's gonna work for us. This is
one of those games for the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I'm having that as I'm sitting here in the studio
looking to my left and there's an empty chair. But
it's just the idea that you're right back where you
were last year, because now you're having flashbacks to everything
that plagued you and took you out of a World
Series game and ultimately out of a series win. You
(07:11):
know you didn't and you just stated and had that
marinade all off season. Now you get into the second
half of the year, you're excited. Here's the guys coming back.
Like I said, Stanton is back in your lineup and
he's starting to hit. He's like, all right, great, you're
gonna wait on Judge. All this wishing, wanting, hoping, and
then all the things that came back, including the aforementioned
(07:35):
Judge error that you know you're all picturing it right
now as I say it. And if you hate the Yankees,
you might be grinning, you might be laughing. Maybe you
took a sip of your drink and just like yeah, Yankees.
So now it's the back of the fish rap that's
gonna talk once again about how fielding did them in
(07:55):
fundamentals and Aaron Boone losing his mind. You're lucky because
now you're just relegated to either the top or bottom
where it'll be a glib one liner. Yankees are going
front and center on this one. I mean, really, it
seems by the fish, it seems like there are forces
working against us. I mean that may be the case.
(08:18):
Maybe you used up all your good will.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh man, they use it up. And when did uh
when did the bill come do? A fifth inning of
Game five of the World Series. That's when the bill
came due for the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Absolute insanity, Like I've now seeing this play in right
field about seven times in a row. I know it
looks worse every time.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, i'd be really, I mean the other.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Is just a you know, an unlucky you know number
uh the play and right field like, oh, he's gonna
come up gunning no, he's not. He forgot something. But
I tell you what. His form otherwise was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh this new look key bullpen. Now right, here's a
new super Yankee bullpen. What what are their numbers to night? Look,
I got them for you.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Two and a third innings pitched, nine runs allowed. There's
your there's your Yankee bullpen.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
There you have it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Oh my goodness. So I texted. I texted my dad
right because I, like, I said, put my money wear
my mouth is right after this. I mean, this is
just an absolutely awful, awful game. No, no, no, I checked.
I wanted to check in on him. I put my
money were mouth. It's like, okay, let let's see. So
I checked in and I said, hey, are you okay
after that? And he said, yeah, I'm just gonna catch
(09:37):
up on my sleep from that fiasco on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Now he's going back to Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
He's still catching up for the Yankees for two days.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Wow, hello darkness, my old friend.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh man. And so I checked in on Fabiano, right,
you know, the other big Yankee fan I know, and
he said, and he texted me back, what a joke.
I hate Cashman. I was at the game and I
forgot because he lives in Florida. He's he's going to
all the games this week. Maybe he's not going to
go after this game tonight, but he's going to all
the games this week.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, he may not show up tomorrow. You might. You
might have a ticket available if you're looking to go
to a game.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah no, I mean, Chad, check in with your fellow
friend Yankee fan friends, because it is not good right now. Man,
Look it's it's very rare. Because again, I get it right,
I look at baseball my entire life. This is why
I would be a terrible manager in baseball, but a
great GM, because I would sit here and say, we
have to change everything. We've lost three in a row.
We gotta change it all. Right, thought i'd be a
(10:43):
horrible manager. But sometimes there are losses that you know
you get at the end of the year. So they
do this in Chicago, I know they do this in
New York a lot. They do it here in LA
where they say, Okay, here are the five losses that
doomed so and so season, or here's the five wins
that made the season right because of how big they
(11:05):
were and the after effects of them, and usually you know,
because the Mets, when they do it, it's usually the
five losses that do them the season. And and I go, okay,
I remember that game. Remember that game, Like if the
Yankees season like has been just free falling for the
last five weeks, Like you look back at this game
and you say, this might be that moment that sets
them on a long losing streak or just things just
(11:27):
start even more fall apart for them, because this is
this is the excitement of the trade deadline and starting
over and here and here's our new bullpen. Right, it's
not just we lost, it's all the new guys we
got we want to unwrap and unveil, and we lose
because of them. Like it's it's so maddening. Not all
loss in baseball are created equal. Most of them are
most number one of one hundred and sixty two. There's
(11:49):
a handful of year that are more on both sides. Right,
Some wins are bigger than just one out of one
sixty two. I would say there's four or five in
a year and the four or five losses. But for
the Yankees, boy, I don't know if there's a bigger
one than this. I mean, this game, this game is
was an electric game. It's it's gonna it's all of
a sudden, it's exploding on social media like this Yankee loss.
(12:10):
Like I would not be surprised if we look back
and say, yeah, that's a loss that killed the Yankees.
That's the one that killed the Yankee season right there.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, curious to watch how they respond tomorrow, right, I mean,
this is one of them that may have lingering effects
because you did have to go to the pen a
few times. Rodan only got into the fifth before he
was chased nine strikeouts. That's all fine and good, but
chased out of this one. And then you have to
go h and bring out all your shiny new toys
off the the trade deadline, and it went for not
(12:40):
so sattle up for another one and again the Marlin.
I love that call. I mean that's just fan. This
team is electric. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, two games within
two games and five hundred it's kind of anough gal.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I mean, come on yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
And it's you know tape that you want cut. It's
like put that in my promo.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, and you know, look, I mean and I don't
know what is gonna be. What's more of Oh my goodness,
I can't believe it if it's gonna be the the
number in front of home plate or Cabiero again, who's
a big trade deadline acquisition who just completely biffs the
base hit and the ball rolls all the way to
(13:20):
the wall, which brings everybody around a score. And that's
how the Yankees give up the lead Like this is
this is a complete and total failure from just I mean,
all of their new acqua oh gods they were bringing.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I would say this the fielding play is a bigger
deal because that's I mean, that's correctable, that is actionable,
that is I'm a big league outfielder. The other one
is just bad luck, like that's the uh sage brush,
that's the my god, the baseball gods hate us kind
of moment. The other is just a mental and physical
(13:57):
convergence of just another grew up, which again is just
flashbacks of what cost you the World Series a year ago.
So that's gonna stick, I think a lot more. The
other is just what the hell right? It's like when
the guy hits the little little squib out in front
of the the first or third base line that the
(14:17):
fielder watches like, oh, it's gonna roll out and now
and then it just dies because there's a little bit
of extra dirt that had been kicked there or whatever
the case is. Like, this is just bad luck, so
that one you can get past the other. No, not
not even close.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I mean this is I mean really the first one
is how I can't believe we blew this, and the
and the second one is, Okay, it's just not it's
just not. It's not our year. It's just it's just not.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I don't know what we've been celebrating though, all these
you know, cannon for arms, guys in the outfield, going
back to the acuon you throw and some of the
other it didn't even field it. He didn even get
a chance to throw or throw a lollipop or throw
a terribly upward back you know, up the line or
behind the catcher or whatever. Like we didn't even get
a throw. I mean, that's that's one of those I'd
(15:08):
like that on a baseball card. I want that on
a sports flick. Oh look at we got a fielding play.
It's like no, no, no, it's because he didn't field
the ball.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Oh man, I it really it is a This is
an absolute stunner, and it's gonna be the big highlight
you see for the next twenty four hours. I've got
blowing the lead. There's so many that to me, there's
so much drama with this game. There's the big lead
that you're feeling great. You're up, you know, you're up
six nothing, Okay. Then it's nine to four. You're feeling great, Right,
(15:36):
the trade deadline happened, you have new acquisitions, you're feeling
really good. Okay, you blow the lead, all right, but
then you retake the lead and you're feeling, hey, this
is what good teams do. That's what great teams doing.
And a couple of guys that you were hoping come
through for you. Write Volpi, he has been Oh, Vopy's
not Jeter, I don't understand all. Wicky comes to with
a home run in a double McMahon gets a big
hit and scores and scores the right. Okay, the guy
(15:57):
we brought in awesome, awesome, awesome. And then you have
the ninth inning where Cabiero makes the error and then
the number front home plate and it's all the guys
you got at the deadline blew it for you, Like,
how do you come back from that again, how do
you come back from that?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, it's funny how that works, that convergence of events.
There's no question about that. I guess you just say, well,
we still have fifty plus games, and you try not
to look at what the Blue Jays and other teams
that you're you're fighting with are doing. I mean, I
don't know. It's it's one of one sixty two in theory.
(16:37):
In practice, this one's hard, right, because you had multiple
opportunities to finish the job and start the second half
off right your point. A couple of your acquisitions had
big moments and big all right, welcome to New York.
You're now part of the squad. And then you know,
is there a song I play? Right field? He kind
(16:58):
of got hidden as a in because everybody was a
poll hitter.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon, who wanted
to bring you that big breaking end of the game

I'm gonna help you. My dad. Here, I'll bring you coffee.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Two one Premirez a little tripler right in.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Front of the play.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
That's a wealth come fit a score from the He's
the craziest. It's a swinging punt from the former Yankee
prospects see demons from this game is over and this team.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Is electric unreal Marlin's Radio.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Now, I mean, you don't get to tell you guys
speed demons much anymore. No, no, yeah, it usually takes
on a whole other connotation and problematic approach.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
And you don't get the swinging butt too, because you
get that, Like I remember when I was little and
and I heard about the swinging butt, I'm like, wow
that you gotta be really good to be able to
do that, like to like you want to bunt and
you swinging bunt. Oh no, no, it's just you really
you just get on top of the ball and chop
it down the line. Yeah, that's a swinging butt. Oh
got it? Got it? Okay, Yeah, okay, it's swinging punt.
All right, right, I mean, come on, I'll tell you
(20:57):
that what a what I can't it over? I mean,
it's there's nothing that went right for the Yankee tonight, right,
nothing that this could be a loss that sinks their season.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They blow a big lead, they scored twelve runs.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Everybody they brought in that the deadline did poorly, including
their closer and outfielder. And I mean, come but Yaro
got traded mid game the other time. Yeah, and he commituitely,
he completely blows the play the base hitting right field
that that gives him two runs in the ninth inning.
Like this game, like there's nothing, there's nothing you can
cut this up and say, hey, guys, a lot of
(21:31):
positives tonight. We'll get back at it tomorrow. Like there's
there's just no way.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Well, vote had four hits.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Nothing, that's good, Okay, that's great.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that got him up to
two twenty three. Sure, yeah, he didn't make he didn't
make that error. Imagine if he made that error. There's
nothing you can say. I mean, Jamina's had three hits.
I mean, come on, you, my goodness, I mean trying hard.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Man. The bullpen went two in the third innings and
gave up seven runs. Man, I mean, this is it.
There's nothing you can say, right, I mean, I mean
you know what, Burn and Bednor come in and gave
up four and two runs. I mean what and then
nicletton then you bring in the wall. Okay, great, and.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
He gave it three is just the one?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
A nightmare for the Yankees?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Oh, you were enjoying this so much? Yeah, no I
am because no. I mean, your team loses, No, I
don't care. That's Giants intent and you're like, aha, whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That bad loss makes it look like the Mets had
a day off compared to what the Yankees went through. Yeah,
that's fine. No one's gonna talk about that after tonight. No,
I'm good. I'm good. You kidding me.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I'm gonna be updating the New York Post website all
night to figure out what the hell really?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I mean, look, the New York Post. I mean they
might break the internet tonight with whatever headline they're gonna
wind up having for this Yankee game.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I really wait, well no, because what is the uh
the back page cover story from yesterday was strong Armed.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah yeah, now it's now it's the one on the
back of the New York Post right now just says
gut punch Yankees new deadline pieces, blow lead and bizarre,
crushing loss. Meet the new bullpen, same as the old bullpen.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Yeah, yesterday you had the or for today's paper. It
was the upper part was Nick's build extension bridges. Yeah
pretty good. Yeah, yeah, it's got like strong Armed Yankees
on trio of stud relievers on deadline.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah, all that is done. Yesterday they were studs.
Now it's same same bullpen, same guys. Yesterday you were heroes.
Today you're the worst. I love you.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
The picture on the right right of the page, that
was a picture of Cedric Mullins. You got that little
insert of him. But yeah no, the next twenty four hours, boy,
I tell you, that is the checking on all your
Yankee fan friends.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
That is the that's the absolute because if they were.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Front running, they just got runned over.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
So we have more baseball on the way. And again,
so no matter what your team did tonight, hey, at
least the Yankees look at the end of that game
and go, oh, man, I got nothing to complain about.
I'm good. I'm good man, I'm walking away. I'm walking away.
So I want to say I have good news for you,
but you're gonna say no, because you're gonna think I'm
putting some kind of voodoo hex heck o, you know,
(24:21):
putting some kind of voodoo X side oop telled you Ricky, Bobby,
You're gonna put that X on me. But there might
not be a quarterback with more pressure on him this
year than Caleb Williams. Right, obviously, year two. And the
thing is year one wasn't terrible for him. It's not
like the guy showed up and he threw eight touchdowns
and seventeen interceptions. He wasn't Zach Wilson, right. He still
(24:42):
he threw twenty touchdowns, didn't turn the football over a lot. No,
but there are some.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Very downfield right. No, I'm negative five and yards, dude.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I'm not saying I'm not saying it was great, but
I'm not saying it wasn't terrible. I mean it's like,
oh my god, like you think he was Zach Wilson.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
No, he he had that great streak, that interceptionless strength.
Then everybody got excited about him. I go, don't look
at his shot chart got curried through the ball further
towards a basket. Then he did what.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
What do you want to say about those fifteen incomplete
passes in a row? Yes, zero interceptions. Right? You like that? Right?
You like that. So you would think that he would
talk about, Hey, I understand what it is to succeed
and the pressure that saw me this year. I get it.
I get it. But no, no, he goes on ESPN
Radio one thousand and says, pressure. I laugh in the
(25:33):
face of pressure.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
Pressure is in a Pressure is not a thing for me.
I don't, you know, think of life that way, in
the situation that I'm in. And so, you know, we
keep chugging along, and you know, there's gonna be ups
and downs, and it's not you know, it's not my
job to care about with the outside, you know, noises and.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Things like that.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
My job is take care of everything in here and
go out there and play, you know. And I didn't
you know, I uh, I know we didn't win as
many games we wanted to last year, but you know
I didn't I didn't go twenty and twenty in interceptions
and things like that. So you know, take it for
what you want. But no pressure is uh preleg pressure
(26:13):
is a privilege. But you know, in the situation that
I'm at, I don't think I have pressure.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Okay, first of all, you're ridiculous. There's so much pressure
on you. Now, maybe you don't feel it as much,
or everybody feels pressure in different ways, but you can't
sit and say there's no pressure, because there is. Right,
you were the number one overall pick in the draft,
supposed to break this strength of this big streak of
Bears quarterbacks coming in and not playing well, and you're
(26:37):
gonna be the franchise guy. And look, last year wasn't terrible.
You had some other things outside of your control, right.
You had the big fail Mary loss, which is a
big deal.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Brought line.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, the offensive line was terrible, and he kept getting hit.
I think he got hit on ninety eight percent of
his dropbacks the last seven weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I'd love to go back. And it's the pie chart
thing that we talked about with quarterback sixty eight sacks absorbed?
How many were his? How many of your fifty to
fifty balls? How much were the old line?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah, no, I know how much?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Just to keep that interceptionless streak alive.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You know what, if I get planted, if I chuck
this up, it's gonna be a sack.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You know what. Instead, I'm just gonna hold onto it.
Oh all right, great, great, great, Okay, Now, but look
I disagree, but it's fine because I am a firm
believer that he takes that leap this year. Right, he
takes the he has the year A lot of it
for Caleb Williams was he wasn't Jade and Daniels. And
you look, Jayden Daniels became a top five quarterback in
(27:41):
the NFL. Was rookie year. It's like, oh my, come on, man.
I mean, so I get some of it is he
wasn't Jayden Daniels. But he's got ambitions, right, you know
that's not Caleb Williams is coming here saying I'm collecting
a paycheck and I'm done. But he's now in a
position to succeed. Right. They brought in the weapons last
year and what happened Romadonsay you thought was gonna be
(28:02):
a big time contributor right away. Ah, not quite. He
needed a year to get into it. Maybe he takes
a leap this year. Keenan Allen was not great all right.
Keenan Allen looked like he got old in the middle
of the season last year. So suddenly it was well,
we got DJ Moore who was still really, really good,
but maybe the weapons weren't exactly what we thought they
were gonna be running back again the bear. The bear's
(28:23):
been trying to find somebody since Neil Anderson. So okay,
I like Anderson, but now this year, okay, you have
another year for a Doonsay. In the offense, Uh, you
have a new head coach that has come in that
is quarterback friendly, that is a guy that's gonna get
you buying. And Ben Johnson. Uh, look, Jared Goff turned
into a Pro Bowl, all pro level quarterback under Ben Johnson.
(28:45):
So I feel like Caleb Williams is in good hands.
And oh, by the way, you got new starters at
guard and center, right, I mean Toney and Dolman are
gonna be new starters this year. And that's an upgrade
over last year. So he's gonna spend less time on
his back and less time looking to tuck the ball
away because he's got no time to throw it. He's
(29:06):
in a much more he's in much more position to
succeed this year than he was last year because while
last year was hey, we will give you the tool, right,
we give you all the weapons because it is right.
I remember talking about this last Hey, look on paper,
this looks great. Right. You have the stud wide receiver,
you have the rookie stud wide receiver. You have the
veteran in Keenan Allen cole Comet is a really serviceable,
underrated tight end. Okay, you're making moves running back wise,
(29:28):
you're trying to figure things. Got I get it, Man,
I get it. This is going to be. Things are
in place for you. But then you see all the
leaky holes, right, you see the coaching staff being being
to getting to a point where the players stopped buying in.
At some point during the season, the offense became a
lost cause two of the big weapons you decided to
bring in offensively were not really contributing at all. Yeah,
(29:50):
no one's gonna succeed in that time. Now, I feel
like Williams is in a position to succeed, and he
did flash at times last year, and it's not gonna
be a year of well, at least he's not throwing.
This is where they put points on the board. This
is where he looks like we expect him to look
last year. If he doesn't have a year this year
of over four thousand yards and thirty touchdowns, I would
(30:13):
I would really be surprised, right, if it's not some
kind of four thousand and thirty and eight type year
for him, thirty touchdowns, eight picks, I'd be really surprised.
I think that's the leap he takes this year in
this offense.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Look at you, I mean, I hope you're right. Do
I believe it? No? I know he's set up the
four thousand yard and seventy percent completion right again, if
he only got to sixty two percent last year with
all the dinking and dunking they did, seventy, boy, I
tell you we don't often get I mean seventy. I
(30:45):
think they said, you know, first two years in the league,
and there's been only a handful of guys in NFL history.
If he does it, I'll be the first to be
say I was wrong in terms of I think he
could play. I think there's there's a lot to work
with that. Whether it happens that quickly, I'm a skeptic,
(31:06):
of course, I you know, and many many years burned
by winning the off season or great reports out of
camp and whatever else you bring in Coleston Loveland, you
you still have comet, right, he was rumored to potentially
beyond the block, but he's still there as we sit
here and you talk about the upgrades on the old line,
like all of it in theory is great with a
(31:28):
a Waldron's gone. We watched the weird thing where I
think Thomas Brown got promoted like nine times, like he
was a Stanz in like a week and a half.
Hey you're in charge. Oh okay, what I'm like, Well,
you went from you know, passing, passing and coordinator to
uh well now you're you're running that whole show. Good
good luck. Uh So all of that to say, look,
(31:51):
it's like the Beatles, it's getting better all the time.
And then parenthetically it was always it can't get much
worse over under still eight and a half for the wins,
And I'm expecting to take strides. And Johnson is a
tough love guy in terms of get him on, get
him over, get him in right, because it's all about timing,
it's all about precision. And so this preseason that all
(32:14):
of these training camp reports that you get out, I'd
take them all with a grain of salt. Of course,
you never know how much work's going on behind the scenes.
Maybe someone's actually sitting in the film room with him
this year, which is something he said didn't happen often
for a while last year. But yeah, the lofty expectations
you put, I hope you're right, because then we'll be
(32:36):
talking a lot more Bears than Jets.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And I'm a big Colston Loveland fan too. Some of
the catches he made last year, like this Michigan team
had zero quarterback last year, right, And that's what people forget,
is it Colston Loveland. Yet there's a reason why the
guy went so high. He still showed you that he
could be dominant on the field where he was catching
passes from a seventh year senior and a gadget guy,
(33:01):
and and people who shouldn't have even been on the team.
And I again, I don't know how the how Michigan
blows their quarterback position a year after winning the National
Championship like they did last year, which is why they
you know, they paid fifty million dollars for Bryce Underwood,
but like they had nobody to throw the football. And
still I'm watching him dominate games and making catches where
I'm like, here's no way he gets that. And on
(33:23):
the boundary he sticks his right arm out and somehow
pulls it and gets his feet down, Like this guy
is really special. Like they went out, Okay, you know,
Comet was an underachieving tight end but now obviously hasn't
played it down in the NFL. But but I love
how he projects. I'm telling you, this should be four
thousand and thirty and eight for Caleb Williams this year.
I'd be really surprised if it's not time out to
(33:44):
find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
A guy who's been called the Caleb Williams of Fox
Sports Radio doesn't believe in pressure either. It's Steve Disager
with what's trending. Boy, there are a lot.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
Of succumbing under pressure in Major League Baseball. Tonight, we'll
get to the Yankees game in a moment. There were
a couple other very high scoring games. Milwaukee won sixteen
to nine at Washington, for example. There's an i scoring
game at Colorado still going right now. Let's start with
the Yankees loss Miami thirteen to twelve, the final with
three runs in the bottom of the ninth. Ap says
(34:16):
the last time the Yankees scored twelve in a road
game and still lost was nineteen forty and stat Zink says,
with these high scoring games, it only happened one other
time in the modern era, where on the same day
in the majors, you have three different ballgames with at
least twenty five runs combined in each. This Pittsburgh game
going on right now, sixteen to twelve. Pirates lead at
(34:39):
Colorado in the bottom of the ninth and Pittsburgh led
to nothing in the first. In fact, they had a
first inning that hasn't happened in the majors since the
eighteen hundreds, where they not only scored at least nine
runs with at least ten hits, but it included a
grand slam and a three run homer in the first inning. Again,
(35:00):
not over yet, boy, they could use Bednard right now.
Sixteen twelve at Colorado. Wow, that my you saw Bednor
pitch tonight, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
If you go back to your pressure coming, you put
on the pinstripes, you're in it. It's a little bit different.
And there were a ton of Yankees fans. By the way,
this Miami team is averaging twelve thousand fans a game.
They had thirty two thousand and a lot of noise
there tonight, and still Miami gets three in the bottom
of the ninth for a thirteen to twelve win against
(35:31):
the Yanks. Ten inning victories for Boston and Cleveland and
San Francisco, which beat the Mets in New York four,
three and ten. That ends a six game losing streak
of the Giants. Dodgers won five nothing at Tampa Bay.
Clayton Kershaw five and two got the win with six
scoreless innings and no walks. Philadelphia is alone and first
in the NL East, now a half game up on
(35:52):
the Mets. Philly scored two in the bottom of the
eighth to beat Detroit five to four. The saved and
new closer Joean Duran just four pitches needed for his
three outs Milwaukee and the Cubs each one Cincinnati as well.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
A reminder.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
MLB's Speedway Classic is Saturday, a ballgame at Bristol Motor Speedway.
On Fox TV Saturday Night, Brays versus Reds Dallas Cowboys
defensive end Micah Parsons requested a trade, saying he no
longer wants to be there. He's entering the final year
of his rookie deal. Free agent wide receiver Keenan Allen
visited the Chargers. Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison misspractice again
(36:29):
with a sore knee. Bucks quarterback Baker Mayfield miss practice
with a brused hand, and among the late ballgames, A's
lead Arizona five to nothing in the fifth. WNBA wins
for Connecticut and Indiana.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O. The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Coming up next,
The NBA story that just gets more and more juicy.
You think it's gonna go away, but it is still
going strong. That's next right here. Fox.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Be sure to catch live editions Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Okay, I know it's the Rockies and
the Pirates. Okay, I know this right. I wanted to
get to Lebron too. But this tonight, if you think
the Yankees and the Marlins was something, I don't even
know what to tell you. At this point, the Pirates
(37:25):
and the Rockies just ended. The Pirates scored nine runs
in the top of the first inning. They led this
game nine to nothing. Okay, nine nothing.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Hey, the Rockies got one back in the first.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
They did, they did. They led the game nine nothing,
and they let and then Colorado, you know, chipped away
a little bit, chipped away a little bit. Okay, that's fine,
and that's fine. But in the ninth inning, Pittsburgh goes
into the bottom of the ninth inning in Colorado with
a four run lead. They lead this thing sixteen to twelve. Okay,
(38:01):
sixteen to twelve is the score going to the bottom
of the ninth inning. And not only do the Rockies
score five, they win it on a walk off home
run by Brenton Doyle, who goes four for five on
the night, a two run homer. Five runs in the
(38:23):
bottom of the ninth the Rockies Colorado wins at seventeen
to sixteen, two touchdowns for Bonnicks. Here is the final call,
Steve de Seger, you have the final call the rock
the Shirts game. Let's hear it deep. I've never seen
(38:45):
anything like this.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Jo thirty three runs, forty hits.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
In but just sixteen for Pitts. You know, Aaron Rodgers
not having a good day. They expecting more from him offensively.
But look, hey, hey, you know Sean Payton out coaching,
Mike Tomlin winning seven. This is like one of those
games like in the early nineties at Corsphild they happened
all the time.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Where this is the way it went the end of
the game, right, and you got the celebration. I think
the Rockies should be docked two runs for those terrible uniforms,
but that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Maybe they were. Maybe that's why it was a nine
run first. Maybe the Pirates just got nine because of it,
like they didn't you know, hey, we don't have to
bat in the first. They just gave us nine because.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah, I don't even know how to describe them. They're terrible.
But the shot of O'Neil Cruz, going back to the dugout.
You know, earlier in the show we were talking about
you know, you have those days of what the hell
am I doing here? And in any aspect of your life,
you're sitting in traffic, you're having battles, maybe your kids
and you are and you know, driving on you know,
(39:55):
whatever you got going on, you were other relationships, your
work relationship, whatever heart, whatever aspect is like what am
I doing? That was the O'Neil Cruz look as he
walked the dugout and put his glove up, like, wow,
it's like a groundhog day for me over here.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Really, this is I can't we thought that. I see
your Yankees Marlins game and I raise you a Rockies
Pirates game. I'm Malkovich licking the Oreo cookie. Ah yeah,
you want to do Okay, let's bet it, let's go, let's.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Go believable, really shay, And over there, you got what's
his name, Rispoli is Grandma? Watch what are we doing
over here?
Speaker 1 (40:40):
You know? You know we talk about this a lot
in football. How for the all the big NFL films
like Season in Review that he used to do all
the time. Here's a half hour of the Jets season
of the Bear season and if you were terrible, right,
they all they took all the best hid when they
show because I don't want to show that you were terrible.
They take all the best highlights from one game. Yeah,
and they play it for all this Hey, this was
(41:03):
the best you had last year. Like, if you did
a half hour Rocky show this year, you would show
every highlight from this game. Every single highlight would be
from this game. And then yeah, we may lost one
hundred and twenty five games and set the all time record,
but man, we came back from down nine against the
Pirates and won.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Do you remember the start of the second half of
the season, mid you, I'll tell you some.
Speaker 1 (41:25):

the NFL and the NBA. Coming up next, This is
Fox Whoo.
