a quick update before you get into a huge story
from tonight, maybe the best story of the night, maybe
the best story of the year in sports.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Right now, the Giants lead the Dodgers to one as
the Giants bat in the top of the seventh inning. Now, okay,
why is this such a big deal? Because the Dodgers,
trailing two to one, are currently being no hit by
the Giants they scored in a bases loaded walk in
the first inning, so you think, but they have been
(01:21):
no hit so far by Ray and Walker through six innings. Again,
the Giants batting in the top of the seventh, up
to one, but the Dodgers, trailing to one, are currently.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Being what's worse than getting no hit?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Getting no hit two games in a row?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Hey, Johann Ramirez appearance.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Hey man, hey, hey, we had him, we let him go.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Now you got himank you good luck?
Speaker 6 (01:47):
We're losing a game that you know hit the other team.
See Andy Hawkins?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, years ago.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Yeah, but Robbie Ray was the guy to start this
game for the Giants, his first starts since the thirty
first of March.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Didn't didn't Hawkins lose that game?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Like?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Three nothing?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Four? Nothing? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Not one nothing? Or oh he lost? What you know?
Bad luck?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Not?
Speaker 7 (02:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
It lost the game? Four nothing four?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
It's it all those years ago? Was it?
Speaker 5 (02:19):
What the left fielder fell down or something.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Or dry You went to make it play and ran
into the wall and the.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Bases were loaded, and all the way back on July
first of nineteen ninety, I'll tell you. And it's come
full circle for the Yankees who gets swept in the
Subway Series by the Mets. And I know the Subway
Series is not the World Series, but I'll give you
three words.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
It almost looked like you. And that you know meme
that you put out there right that picture with grimis yeah,
because it's it's a bald guy. I mean he's wearing
a suit coat. Chrich had sleeve, so that really isn't you.
But yeah, Aaron Boone asked, what what point He's still
he'll stop calling this a poor stretch. I'm not gonna
define stretch. I've said it's right in front of us.
(03:06):
It is right in front of us. But some of
these quotes are just fan Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh, we're gonna play back in Aaron boom because we
got one. He cursed twice and then apologized for cursing. Hey,
sorry if he was in the S word, guys, he
didn't mean it though, No, not at all. Sorry, I'm
not sorry.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
No, this is sudden.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Look first of all, from a personal perspective, Well, again,
I know the Subway Series is not the World Series,
but again I don't care. The Mets sweep the Yankees
in the season series. They win all four games. Garrett
Cole in two games started against the Mets, nine innings,
pitched twelve runs, all earned seven home runs. I mean
this was I wish we could play the Yankees and
(03:47):
Garrett Cole every day. That's how excited I am right now.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I wish we could play the best bitcher in baseball
every single day. We did five home runs a night,
we'd have everybody, we'd have five fifty home run hit
I was forget about twenty home run guys. You know
the Mets have five guys with fifty home runs because
they play the Yankees every single day.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
It's outstanding guys.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
To his defense, he cursed because a reporter compared their
play to the White Sox.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
That's part of it.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
I mean, that's that's enough to really that is getting
you on tilt. Yeah right, that is a I get it.
It's a strenuous situation. I mean, I'm gonna go full
on agitator right here to see exactly how if I
can break Aaron Boone.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
And I bet.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
You there were side bets, which curse word? Can I
get him to hotter? And how many times.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Since June nobody sucked more than you and the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, and hey, you know, and not for nothing, but
you know, the Mets win this game. They're only a
game and a half behind the Braves for the first
Wild Guard. For the first wild Card. The Braves had
like a twelve game lead. They were a game and
the Mets play the Braves starting a series tomorrow night. Man,
I'm fired up. It is time to get fired up.
But this is about the Yankees. There's two things to say, right,
(05:03):
There's two big takeaways from this one. When you think
about about baseball over one hundred and sixty two games,
a lot of it is, hey, we run into a
team at the right time or the wrong time. And
this was the Mets running into the Yankees at the
right time.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
The Yankees are.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Scuffling, you know, they don't have any other hitters besides two.
According to Luis Severino, they're really struggling right now. The
Mets run into the Yankees at the right time. Yankees
running too the Mets at the wrong time. Francisco Lindor
is on an absolute heater. Two home runs tonight. Look
for the last two months, he's been one of the
top three players in all of baseball. I think his
(05:39):
war is second or third. He had another slow start,
which is kind of Francisco Lindor hitting one fifty middle
of May, and then all of a sudden his numbers
look halfway decent at the end. But the last couple
of months he's been incredible, and you talk about his leadership,
he's the one that called the closed door meeting. Since
that moment and since Grimace throughout the first pitch, Hey,
the Mets have been fantastic.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
I gotta say at the time he called that meeting, though,
we chuckled at it.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, like really, what I remember saying, you really wait
to your ten games under five hundred to call them
meeting the season's over.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Well, but it was also at the time it was hey,
lind Or, how about you start hitting? Maybe that would
fix some things. And so maybe it was. As we've
talked about the global reach of this show through all
our sticks course the iHeartRadio app maybe it's on us,
just like the Rams. If the Mets were able to
(06:28):
roll through, and this is a really bigin. If they're
able to roll through and they get that hunk of
metal from Manford, I want a damn ring. Hey we
should get Still we're still waiting for a ring from
the ram That's what I mean, like the Rams, they
still love us. I'll get a ring from the Mets
one hundred percent. I'll get a ring from the Mets
for this.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
This is this is unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Is it gonna be a Grimace ring.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Oh, it's gonna be purple, The diamonds will be purple percent,
and it'll have a whistle on. It's like when you
got it out of the gumball.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But look, this is about the Yankees. Because yet you
can sit here and say, all right, well, yeah, it's
a couple of bad games. There's still sixteen games over
five hundred. No, no, no, not all losses are created equal.
Getting swept by the junior varsity team in your city
is a bad optic, especially when you get beat as
bad as you did by the Mets. And tonight wasn't
(07:18):
close last time. I mean, the Mets have put up
so many runs. Look, they lead the league in players
with with one hundred plus ops, so you know they're
hitting the ball. But this is still so embarrassing for
the Yankees. I don't recognize this team as from one
of the best teams in baseball. You know, this is
how bad and this is how bad it is for
the Yankees. And wait till I tell you the changes
they need by the deadline.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Firemall.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
This is a Yankee team that two weeks ago lost
both games to the Mets at City Field, So you know, okay,
they're gonna be motivated coming into this. Luis Severino, former
Yankee pitcher who didn't pitch in the Subway Series, was
upset over the weekend at how you know people were
talking about him and he said, well, I don't care
about the Yankee They only have two good hitters over there.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
He's not wrong, No, he's not wrong.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
But if he sent he.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Said the quiet part out loud, he is not wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But if anything is going to pull the Yankees out
of this malaise, it is that statement. And when he
said that, I said, dude, what are you stupid? I
know you're not pitching, but what do you think this
is gonna do for the Yankees?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
They're gonna be extra focus because over the course of
one hundred and sixty two games. Yeah, sometimes things happen
that push you out of malaise and get you more focused,
and this is one of those moments.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I believe in.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Bulletin board material for baseball more than I believe in
any other sport, because sometimes you need a little bit
to get you out of that every single day rut
you get into. So you had that, and then you
had the Yankees who played a day game on Monday. Right,
they're home, they have Monday night off, they play their
first game against the Mets on Tuesday. The Mets fly
back in and they have so much trouble with their plane.
(08:55):
Their plane doesn't land until six in the morning on Tuesday,
and they played it game, you know, twelve hours later, Right,
their plane doesn't land. They're on the plane on the
airport until six in the morning. Everything was going the Yankees' way.
This was everything for the Yankees to win this series.
And not only did they not win it, they weren't
(09:15):
even competitive. They couldn't get a split. They looked awful.
This is a team that needs wholesale changes by the
trade deadline, absolute wholesale changes. And look, it kind of
goes into you know, what's been the biggest story in
the world the last few days, which has been President
Joe Biden announcing he's not going to run for reelection,
Kamala Harris stepping in, and you see a lot of
(09:38):
back and forth of hey, is this.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Going to be better? Will this help Democrats win? The
polling is better for Harris and it was under Biden.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
And it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It's a big baseball analogy because when a team is
going bad that has talent, big changes need to happen.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
And it's just like this.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Look, the Democrats will look at it and say, well,
we don't think we're gonna win with Biden, right, The
polling is bad, everything's going down. So they find a
way to try to push him out, which which they did,
and now Kamala Harris is in and she's raising money
and okay, they feel better about their chances.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's the same thing in baseball. If you have a
talented team and it's underachieving, what happens either the manager
gets fired or new players come in and old players
go out. That's what happens when you're underachieving. And here
you are. Now if you fire Aaron Boone, does that
really send a message or is the better message being
we really don't have anybody else that can hit behind
(10:31):
Soto and judge right?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
JD. Davis hitting clean up last night. We talked about that.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
How embarrassing is that guy hasn't played since the fourth
of July hitting clean up for the Yankees last night.
The Yankees need four new players, right, just like the
Braves did a couple of years ago, the year a
cook you got hurt. They're floating around five hundred the deadline.
They decide, hey, let's go for it, and they bring
in four new starters. And what happens, Hey, four new
(10:55):
everyday players, and they wind up catching fire and they
win the World Series. This is what the Yankees need.
Their roster is not very good. You can't Anthony Rizzo
coming back. Is not Anthony Rizzo of twenty fifteen gen
Carlos Stanton will come back, But how's he gonna do
and how long is he gonna be healthy for. You
need to go and change the vibe of this team
because it's just now just circling the drain. You need
(11:17):
to go out and get three or four new You
need a lot like. No team is more desperate. It
should be more desperate at the deadline than the Yankees.
You need so much. You need to change a culture.
You need to say, hey, we're talented. There's a reason
why we were twenty games over five hundred for a
long time. We need to go change out. We gotta
catch the Orioles. We gotta win the Al, We gotta
get to the World Series because we were that good.
(11:39):
You need to go get a ton of new players
and bring them in and change the culture and change
a belief around this team. There is no team that
should be more desperate or more active at the deadline
than the Yankees.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Well, they got off to that big lead where you
had some production from the bottom of the lineup, and
your starters and your rotation were healthy and pitching well,
I mean, just look at the season totals you've got
for Rodn and for heal. But Rodin's had his stretches
where the arm looks a little bit dead and he's
barely getting through the fourth inning, and you know you're
(12:10):
you're trying to ride the lightning there.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You missed Cole for this whole time.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
And now he comes back today, he gets racked around,
and now the Yankees have to apologize for him cursing
a lot in the dugout, either that or ESPN does,
because they really shone a light on that look a
look at how frustrated he is with the Mets. This
was some of the only content they gave you in
between pitch counts of the starters, to tell you after everyone,
(12:36):
all right, you know what comes after ninety five ninety six,
he's up to ninety six pitches. But the Yankees, the
other stat that they gave you, they have the worst
ops from the number four slot in Major League Baseball.
And again with the Marlins and the White Sox and
some of the cesspool of bottom dwelling squads. That's kind
(12:59):
of a big right. You're the Yankees. You spent a
lot of money, and oh, by the way, if you
don't make a change, that's substantive and that can be
felt all the way through. Guess who you gotta worry
about walking away and going to the other clubhouse. It's
Juan Soto, right, who's all world and monster. And there's
nothing Cohen would love more to say. Steinbrander's not spending
(13:23):
money like he used to. So let's have some fun
with this. Shall we get the bidding process up? So
potential for chaos? Yeah, you need a couple of arms.
You need to figure out what the hell happened to
DJ and Lemayhew. I remember when we had fun with
him when he was with the Cubs and he was
just a guy, and then all of a sudden he
became one of the best hitters in baseball. Somehow he
(13:45):
forgot to hit because he's under two hundred right now
as we sit here on July twenty fourth, all of
these things, you know to say for Aaron Boone, he's
screwed like he's in no man's land, and Cashman keeps
getting these vats of confidence. Sorry, I'll call for a
lot of gigs, but that's a guy. At some point.
The expectations not hey, we can ride into the playoffs
(14:08):
in the first or second wildcard. No, the expectation is
that you're winning it all. You're the bleeping Yankees. Biggest
changes coming to the Yankees, most desperate team especially, I
have to get and swept by the mat Fox Sports
Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike
Carbon coming up next.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Do we have some unbelievable crazy headlines from today to
get to that's straight ahead right here, and oh, by
the way, they're all from the same sport. That's next,
Jason and Mike Fox.

But here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (14:59):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Yeah, you blubber, listen, name and me.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are
arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it
will continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored. By
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast

Speaker 7 (15:44):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with
Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
And the Mets swep the Yankees at Oh, at least
you got the final word. I really thought you were
gonna make a Johann Ramirez line. No, Frostbury's got enough.
Johann Ramirez in my ear, not very happy. No, No,
I mean he sounded like Aaron Boone.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
The Dodgers no longer getting no hit.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Uh, Chris Taylor got a double and then got hurt
rounding the bases.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
He took one for the team.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So Giants lead the Dodgers three to one. As the
bat top of the eighth inning, bases loaded. Nobody out
let me, I'm just checking see how far behind the
Dodgers the Mets are for best record of the National
League game.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
And let me look, let me let me check after
the sweep in the A.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
If you don't have the game on and you don't
have the internet, how do you know Johann Ramirez is pitching?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Could you tell me the bases are loaded? But no,
that's how you know.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh, if you just see the you see the bases
loading up. Sure, Maria is pitching. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
Tirech dot Com Studios. There is no shortage of great
Olympics stories today coming out of what we saw in soccer.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
But first, let.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Me just say this, because you know, we sperenced so
much attention on All Star games. Now, look, the WNBA
All Star Game was phenomenal last week, and we told
you it was gonna be the best All Star game
in twenty years because both sides want to beat the
brains out of the other. You had Clark and Ogunbowalle
and Reese who wanted to win. They weren't picked for
the Olympic team. The Olympians didn't want to win. We
(17:28):
told it was gonna be it was gonna be great,
it was gonna be competitive, and it was. The MLS
had their All Star Game tonight and yeah, is it great?
Timing Like right after the euro right after Copa, during
the beginning of the Olympics and Games and going no
it's not.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
But hey, MLS had their All Star game.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
MLS played against La Liga and they got pasted.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
It's time.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Now the MLS is good enough and we have enough
good players where we can grow the game on our own.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Here we should grow.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
We can continue to grow the MLS, which has become
the fourth major sport in the last year, and have
an Eastern versus Western Conference All Star game. I get
that in the beginning, when we needed to play teams
like Arsenal, we needed to play La Liga, you know,
or Premier Division. I get we needed to do that
right to help grow that. But here we are now
(18:20):
the MLS is pretty well established. There's attendance is pretty
high everywhere, and everything is up and ratings are up.
We can have an East versus West All Star game.
We can have a celebration of the MLS, especially when
a guy like Ricky Puig, who is one of the
most exciting young players in the game hashtag Pueeg your
friend when he's coming off the bench. I mean, come on,
(18:42):
we can have an East versus West game and grow
the game oursels. We don't have it was I know
we need it in the beginning and I get it,
and I'd say thanks to La Liga, we get we
get times now where you see matches being played outside
of leagues, outside of divisions. We watch Wrexham tie Chelsea
tonight just a few minut ago two to two in
an exciting game. We can still do that. We can
(19:03):
still have that that's exciting to watch. But I'm pretty
sure we can grow the game ourselves here now we
can have we can have the Eastern versus Western Conference
MLS All Star Game and it would go pretty well.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I think a lot. I think more people would watch
it be a bigger deal for the league.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
In the middle of this, we have a we have
a lot of personalities you want people to understand and
get a chance to go look at.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I think it's time for that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I get why we had to do it up until now,
but I think we've we've had a chance to see
that and.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
We can grow the game further by doing it.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I just think that's the point, right.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
It's supposed to be a showcase of your stars and
your league and then going out and losing to La
Liga makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
It does not help your brand. It shows you as
an inferior.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
It's like how do I get La Liga package on
my television network by.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
The action and got after it.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Look, I've got my my MLS subscription, I have it.
You know there there was The game was on Apple TV,
so you had to have that to see it. So
that's a whole other discussion to have when we're talking
about streaming and those processes of making sure your product
is in front of as many eyeballs as you can
get it.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
But when we're looking at it, Jason, it's like you,
even if you.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Don't have a full twenty two plus of stars, you
have to make it look like it that you do,
and you get a hype man. One of the guys
that's announcing the for Apple and for the MLS is
a guy that just left the WWE. Well, his whole
job was to hype a bunch of jobbers. Sorry I
(20:38):
use that specifically because there was a big debate on
social media today about that term. Look, talent enhancement is
a very real thing. Your job is to put people over.
That is the technical and clinical definition of what we
used to call the jobber, right, the prelimb guy whatever.
Your talent enhancement. So your job is to go make
(20:59):
everyone but he look good and sell them whatever the
metric is. Even if he's the fastest runner over the
nine miles he's gonna cover in an MLS game, you
give him a metric that looks looks like he's great.
What his favorite superhero is, how excited he is for
the Deadpool movie. I don't give a damn. The whole
idea is to put these guys over and celebrate the
(21:20):
growth of your league, which we've seen, right, we watch
it here in Los Angeles all the time. Now, Demographically,
we're in a position where we've got a nation within
itself here across Southern California that grew up on soccer.
So you've got the competitive advantage. So BEMO is always
full and all of that. But and the Coliseum gets
(21:42):
big numbers when they have friendlies and everything else, like
it's reality. Trying to expand that across other cities is
something they've been pretty good at on the growth side.
So yes, you don't need other leagues. Pay them whatever
fee you need to get out of whatever the series
is com tracked through and start building your own brand.
(22:03):
It's like what the WNBA is doing. Now you know
the w Jason, All these years playing and stars and
you got appreciation. Well, now you're on another level. MLS
has to think of themselves in the big game as well.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
The Jason Smiths are the Mike Carmen Live and Thetirack
dot com studios. That's just your appetizer for what we
saw today in soccer from the Olympics. Okay, now two
big stories. You probably woke up and saw what the hell.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Is going on?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Why is Argentina and Morocco trending? Well, look the Olympics
in soccer, first of all, everybody is a little bit
different from the men's side of the women's side. Right
the women's side, they bring all their best players and
and it's kind of like a World Cup. Men's side
is different. It's most of the players are under twenty three.
You can bring three players over the age of twenty three.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
You know, leon.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Nolmessi's not there, and Bope is not there. Most of
the big starts for the United States, Polistic isn't there,
most of the best players aren't there. It's still fun
and it's still competitive, but it's not quite what it is.
So Argentina losing to Morocco today, while it's a big upset. Well,
not quite where Argentina had all their best players. But
the drama we saw Argentina and Morocco where Argentina scored
(23:19):
a goal in the fifteenth minute of extra time. Yeah,
tell me things weren't cook to let Argentina win this game.
Fifteen minutes of extra time were added on to the
end of this game that Morocco was winning two to one,
So basically an entire overtime period was usually when there's
a ton of time. They had like seven minutes, right,
(23:41):
or eight minutes maybe eene. Yeah, yeah, sixteen minutes of
extra time they had. We're gonna keep playing this game
till Argentina scores. Argentina scores to tie the game. However,
the play looked like it was offside. At the time,
Morocco fans were so upset they stormed onto the field
and firecrackers off, so all the.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Players had to leave their field. Yeah, it was an
insane moment. They had to stop the game for two hours.
Then when they resumed the game in an empty stadium,
the referee goes and looks at var sees that the
play was offside and the goal did not count. Morocco
plays out the last three minutes and beats Argentina to
(24:22):
win this game. So you had a goal that would
have been allowed to stand, but with two hours to
go by, hey, we have no choice. You have to
disallow this goal because it was offside.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
So you had a.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Couple of instances where they tried to give the game
to Argentina and it didn't work and Morocco wound up
winning the game and say, the the VR replay that
we got sucked. Yeah, right, the US had a goal
that got disallowed and like there was no real even
(24:54):
review of it. It's like, okay, the off side, what up?
Can we check it?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Nah?
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Play on you're already down three nil, blank you. But
like this play, I was waiting for the full explanation,
right the little red line, you know, the infrared system,
all of that stuff. Nothing, So I'm not even sure
he was really all sides except for that they decided
so in the empty stadium and it was just like everywhere,
all the players on the pitch just kind of looked
(25:19):
at him like can we just finish this.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Day? I'm done.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So on the flip side of this, then you had
the result to the Canada controversy. The women's team playing
New Zealand in their first game coming up in a
couple of days, and they had a couple of assistant
coaches sent home and the head coach will not coach
this game against New Zealand because a low level staffer,
(25:46):
I'm just gonna use all the spygate.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
A low level staffer flew.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
A drone over the New Zealand practice and recorded the
entire practice. When the guy was asked why he did it,
he said, oh, I'm a youth coach back in Canada.
I was looking for some tips and pointers.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So now you have this guy's going to jail for
this right now. It's an insane story. And Canada is
gonna be without all their coaches for this first game
against New Zealand because they said, hey, yeah, why not
we can go out and fly a drone over and
record the entire practice of the opposition. Who's gonna tell
(26:25):
due to drone is flying over practice. People are gonna
see that, They're gonna understand that, and they're gonna say, hey,
what's that drone doing up there? And they're gonna investigate, right, So,
I mean, these cheers stories, I mean, look, the thing
is Mike, look at these two stories now, right, you
add today's game, all the crazies with Morocco, where the
game was tried to be given to Argentina twice, right
(26:46):
for the the extra time that was added, the goal
at the end they weren't going to disallow. And now
you add Canada trying to fly a drone over another
country's practice. I want and this is what I take
away from this is that soccer, for a long time
had always been able to hide the shadiness that was
(27:07):
inherent to the sport. Right there, you just accepted it, yeah,
or you accepted that you know, certain calls were going
to be made for certain teams, Certain things were going
to happen, certain goals process to get stuff, oh yeah,
from the field to set bladder and the bidding process. Yeah,
certain bits of shadiness were accepted. But now we're in
(27:28):
an era in twenty twenty four where you can't keep
that stuff hidden anymore. You can't hide that we're going
to give this goal to Argentina because we have var
You can't hide that a sixteen minutes of extra time
because people are going to talk about that on social media.
You can't hide that I'm going to fly a drone
over another team's practice. Like, I don't know that soccer
(27:48):
is ready for the age of information and enlightenment that
we're in, because you see things that that teams are
still trying to get away with. Remember the United States
missed the World Cup a few years ago because of
a goal that should have been disallowed that knocked the
United States out of qualifying. Right as bad as we played,
there was a goal that was allowed that sent the
(28:09):
team on and sent the US home. Went Hey, it
never went over the line, it bounced off the post.
I can't believe they allowed it. Soccer is operated in shadiness.
I don't know that they're ready for the modern era
of soccer where you can't get away with that anymore.
And there's gonna be more stuff like this because it's
still that adjustment period of Oh this stuff we've done
for like twenty years.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Oh, we can't do that anymore. Oh boy, that's gonna
really hurt us.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's gonna hurt We used to get all these calls,
all these things us to happen to give us advantages.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
We're not gonna get that anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
But think about.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
All like it's happened in every sport right super slow
mo and all the angles we get for NFL games.
The pitch box doesn't protect guys like Angel Hernandez or
any Major League Baseball umpire.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Or too soon, Angel Hernandez, too soon well.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
To say it, I mean, we have all these data
points that we never had before. The like I said,
the snap it to a grid soccer thing, which has
been great in.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Spots to help an official.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
As you can see here, his right thumb is off sides,
and that's enough to call it.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
In this offside position.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
You see his thumb, you see it upside. But how
many times.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Have you seen that. Here's the review. You could see
where his arm is up and the elbow is extended.
The elbow is over the red line, so obviously he's offside.
Doesn't matter that he's not moving forward or that his
feet are planted behind where the red line is. Nope,
that elbow is extended. He's offside. I mean, we've got
that kind of lunacy is what we've already become accustomed to.
(29:40):
But to the point where you've always had an international
body that, let's face it, like it's been scandal after scandal.
I'm sure, there's a shelf full of books at my
local Barnes and Noble about each of these guys from
set bladder. I'm the president of everybody and everybody else
that's been in a leadership position. Of the bribes and
(30:01):
and the different moving of players between squads, there's that's
a whole other mess, right when you go down to
the club level and then onto the field.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I mean, when did you decide that the clock was still.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Running as you ran for your lives as fans hit
the pitch was six minutes?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Eight minutes? Is that how you got to the fifteen?
Speaker 6 (30:23):
I mean, how about a little bit of clarity and
explanation as to what that's all about, because otherwise you
just perpetuate more conspiracy theories like the one we're espousing
and discussing and exposing right now.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Exit out by the Fresco, Exit swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. It's gonna
be fun seeing soccer trying to get into the modern time.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
That, oh man, we can't all this crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
We were able to do. Man, we had goals go
off of people's hands.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
That and what that? What that one world comes for people.
We can't do that anymore. They're gonna find us out
of it.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Hey, Hey, that was at Verton.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Coming up next, we had a big story out of
the NFL today and guess what we are making a
game out of it. Maybe I gotta say this might
be even better than the Magic Johnson Twitter game.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon Live from the Tirack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
We have a big football story coming up in about
ten minutes, but we have a even funner football story
to get to right now, like in Corner, California.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yeah, a game that may.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Wind up being better than the Magic Johnson Twitter game.
And I don't say that lightly.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Well, I mean that would mean a lot of other
shows start to steal this one too.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Today, the Chargers open training camp and head coach Jim Harbaugh,
very excited in very Harbaugh fashion, compared what the first
day of training camp felt like to him overall.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
Just the way it feels I mean, it feels like
Beyer's day. You know, it feels like being born, feels
like coming out of the womb. You know, it's like
you're in there and it's comfortable and it's safe, and
now you're out.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
You're born.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
The lights are on the you know, it's bright, chaos,
people look people looking at you, people people talking at you,
and just feels good to you know, have it happen.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
It's like being born. The afterbirth is out. We're gonna
cut the cord all the time.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
So because we're gonna get stuff like this all the
time from Jim Harbaugh, because he's gonna have a big
press conference at least once a week, we're gonna play
a game called Did Jim Harbass say that today?
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Oh that's pretty good? All right?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Did Jim Harbaugh say this today? Playing? Are you and I?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
If Brian Finley would say good things about the Chargers,
Frostburg would allow him to play. But happening, it's not
gonna happen. Uh so Frostburg's got him. Did Jim Harbaugh
say this today?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Go ahead? Frostburg? All right, guys, ready, let's go go ahead.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
What will happen?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Will happen?
Speaker 4 (33:19):
What won't happen, won't happen?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Wow? What happened? Will happen? What won't happen? Won't happen?
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Well, he kind of channeling the old Baron von Rashko. Okay,
promo for an Awa Battle Royal. All right, friend will
turn on friend on foe.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Okay, what do you think did he say that today?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:44):
What will happen? Will happen? What won't happen? Won't happen?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
I mean, he's a great philosophizer.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Is Frostburg really going to start us off with something
Harbaugh didn't say? I'm gonna say he did say that today.
I'm gonna say he did say that today. That is
a Jim Harbaugh statement.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Well, both are wrong. He did not say oh, he
didn't say wow.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
I really thought that was a good philosopher kind of
moment there.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
This game is very difficult. This is very very difficult. Okay,
all right, all right, next, what do we got?
Speaker 8 (34:13):
The highest compliment I can give a player is he's
a football player?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That's true?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
What about Justin Herbert football player? What about Dick Budkis
football player? Football play?
Speaker 5 (34:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
No, I'm gonna no no, that that is definitely a
Jim Harball Wheelhouse comment. Right there, I'm gonna say, Jim
Harball did say that today.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Mike, Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
You both are correct. There we go, all right.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
You know, Frostburg may not really have to make anyone
up over the course of the season.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Well, I mean he did one.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, no, he did well, he's got to throw us
off a little bit, a little bit. But okay, all right,
let's go to the next one. I'm feeling good, I'm
feeling hot now.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
It's like the first day of school, a homecoming, Christmas
all wrapped in one.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Wait.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, it's like the first day of school,
Christmas Day, and homecoming all wrapped in one.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Okay, well, so you have Christmas Day is a great
like the.
Speaker 8 (35:17):
First day of school, first day of school, a homecoming,
then homecoming, Christmas Morning all wrapped in Christmas Morning, okay,
and being born and New Year's Someone really likes Christmas,
likes homecoming. I don't remember being that big a fan
of homecoming, but okay, maybe he was. I'm sure he
had great homecomings.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
He was the quarterback, of course, is true. Yes, he
was probably the king of the court. And yeah, I'm
sure it was okay.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
A cheerleader.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
I mean all so first day of.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
School, the excitement, homecoming, the pageantry, Christmas Day. Okay, Yes,
Jim Harbaugh did say that today. It's like when the
electronic refund hits you off the state tax return. I
mean like he's what he's gonna do every first of
the year. It's like every celebration or account.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
I want to hit.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
You know, it's like payday on Friday. It's like five
o'clock whistle on a Friday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, it's Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Okay, okay, oh yeah he said that.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Rah, he left no stone unturned.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
Oh I'm feeling good. I'm getting Christmas Day in on
this one. All right. One more.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
The grass is as good a grass as anywhere.
Speaker 6 (36:32):
So the grassy really someone that's about the grass of
the playing field.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
The grass is as good a grass as it is
anywhere as anywhere.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Okay, Oh boy, it's Jim Harbaugh that much.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I can see him being being that big a fan,
like I love this grass so much. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I don't mean the grass on the field. Yes, Jim
Harbaugh said.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
That celebration of the field and the rebirth of a
football season. Yeah, that's that sounds like a good analogy.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
All right, sure he did. Let's go love this game.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
I can't believe I got one wrong. I'm so upset.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
I'm so mad.

the best story of the year in sports.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Right now, the Giants lead the Dodgers to one as
the Giants bat in the top of the seventh inning. Now, okay,
why is this such a big deal? Because the Dodgers,
trailing two to one, are currently being no hit by
the Giants they scored in a bases loaded walk in
the first inning, so you think, but they have been
(01:21):
no hit so far by Ray and Walker through six innings. Again,
the Giants batting in the top of the seventh, up
to one, but the Dodgers, trailing to one, are currently.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Being what's worse than getting no hit?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Getting no hit two games in a row?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Hey, Johann Ramirez appearance.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Hey man, hey, hey, we had him, we let him go.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Now you got himank you good luck?
Speaker 6 (01:47):
We're losing a game that you know hit the other team.
See Andy Hawkins?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, years ago.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Yeah, but Robbie Ray was the guy to start this
game for the Giants, his first starts since the thirty
first of March.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Didn't didn't Hawkins lose that game?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Like?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Three nothing?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Four? Nothing? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Not one nothing? Or oh he lost? What you know?
Bad luck?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Not?
Speaker 7 (02:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
It lost the game? Four nothing four?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
It's it all those years ago? Was it?
Speaker 5 (02:19):
What the left fielder fell down or something.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Or dry You went to make it play and ran
into the wall and the.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Bases were loaded, and all the way back on July
first of nineteen ninety, I'll tell you. And it's come
full circle for the Yankees who gets swept in the
Subway Series by the Mets. And I know the Subway
Series is not the World Series, but I'll give you
three words.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
It almost looked like you. And that you know meme
that you put out there right that picture with grimis yeah,
because it's it's a bald guy. I mean he's wearing
a suit coat. Chrich had sleeve, so that really isn't you.
But yeah, Aaron Boone asked, what what point He's still
he'll stop calling this a poor stretch. I'm not gonna
define stretch. I've said it's right in front of us.
(03:06):
It is right in front of us. But some of
these quotes are just fan Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh, we're gonna play back in Aaron boom because we
got one. He cursed twice and then apologized for cursing. Hey,
sorry if he was in the S word, guys, he
didn't mean it though, No, not at all. Sorry, I'm
not sorry.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
No, this is sudden.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Look first of all, from a personal perspective, Well, again,
I know the Subway Series is not the World Series,
but again I don't care. The Mets sweep the Yankees
in the season series. They win all four games. Garrett
Cole in two games started against the Mets, nine innings,
pitched twelve runs, all earned seven home runs. I mean
this was I wish we could play the Yankees and
(03:47):
Garrett Cole every day. That's how excited I am right now.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I wish we could play the best bitcher in baseball
every single day. We did five home runs a night,
we'd have everybody, we'd have five fifty home run hit
I was forget about twenty home run guys. You know
the Mets have five guys with fifty home runs because
they play the Yankees every single day.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
It's outstanding guys.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
To his defense, he cursed because a reporter compared their
play to the White Sox.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
That's part of it.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
I mean, that's that's enough to really that is getting
you on tilt. Yeah right, that is a I get it.
It's a strenuous situation. I mean, I'm gonna go full
on agitator right here to see exactly how if I
can break Aaron Boone.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
And I bet.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
You there were side bets, which curse word? Can I
get him to hotter? And how many times.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Since June nobody sucked more than you and the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, and hey, you know, and not for nothing, but
you know, the Mets win this game. They're only a
game and a half behind the Braves for the first
Wild Guard. For the first wild Card. The Braves had
like a twelve game lead. They were a game and
the Mets play the Braves starting a series tomorrow night. Man,
I'm fired up. It is time to get fired up.
But this is about the Yankees. There's two things to say, right,
(05:03):
There's two big takeaways from this one. When you think
about about baseball over one hundred and sixty two games,
a lot of it is, hey, we run into a
team at the right time or the wrong time. And
this was the Mets running into the Yankees at the
right time.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
The Yankees are.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Scuffling, you know, they don't have any other hitters besides two.
According to Luis Severino, they're really struggling right now. The
Mets run into the Yankees at the right time. Yankees
running too the Mets at the wrong time. Francisco Lindor
is on an absolute heater. Two home runs tonight. Look
for the last two months, he's been one of the
top three players in all of baseball. I think his
(05:39):
war is second or third. He had another slow start,
which is kind of Francisco Lindor hitting one fifty middle
of May, and then all of a sudden his numbers
look halfway decent at the end. But the last couple
of months he's been incredible, and you talk about his leadership,
he's the one that called the closed door meeting. Since
that moment and since Grimace throughout the first pitch, Hey,
the Mets have been fantastic.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
I gotta say at the time he called that meeting, though,
we chuckled at it.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, like really, what I remember saying, you really wait
to your ten games under five hundred to call them
meeting the season's over.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Well, but it was also at the time it was hey,
lind Or, how about you start hitting? Maybe that would
fix some things. And so maybe it was. As we've
talked about the global reach of this show through all
our sticks course the iHeartRadio app maybe it's on us,
just like the Rams. If the Mets were able to
(06:28):
roll through, and this is a really bigin. If they're
able to roll through and they get that hunk of
metal from Manford, I want a damn ring. Hey we
should get Still we're still waiting for a ring from
the ram That's what I mean, like the Rams, they
still love us. I'll get a ring from the Mets
one hundred percent. I'll get a ring from the Mets
for this.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
This is this is unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Is it gonna be a Grimace ring.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Oh, it's gonna be purple, The diamonds will be purple percent,
and it'll have a whistle on. It's like when you
got it out of the gumball.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But look, this is about the Yankees. Because yet you
can sit here and say, all right, well, yeah, it's
a couple of bad games. There's still sixteen games over
five hundred. No, no, no, not all losses are created equal.
Getting swept by the junior varsity team in your city
is a bad optic, especially when you get beat as
bad as you did by the Mets. And tonight wasn't
(07:18):
close last time. I mean, the Mets have put up
so many runs. Look, they lead the league in players
with with one hundred plus ops, so you know they're
hitting the ball. But this is still so embarrassing for
the Yankees. I don't recognize this team as from one
of the best teams in baseball. You know, this is
how bad and this is how bad it is for
the Yankees. And wait till I tell you the changes
they need by the deadline.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Firemall.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
This is a Yankee team that two weeks ago lost
both games to the Mets at City Field, So you know, okay,
they're gonna be motivated coming into this. Luis Severino, former
Yankee pitcher who didn't pitch in the Subway Series, was
upset over the weekend at how you know people were
talking about him and he said, well, I don't care
about the Yankee They only have two good hitters over there.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
He's not wrong, No, he's not wrong.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
But if he sent he.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Said the quiet part out loud, he is not wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But if anything is going to pull the Yankees out
of this malaise, it is that statement. And when he
said that, I said, dude, what are you stupid? I
know you're not pitching, but what do you think this
is gonna do for the Yankees?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
They're gonna be extra focus because over the course of
one hundred and sixty two games. Yeah, sometimes things happen
that push you out of malaise and get you more focused,
and this is one of those moments.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I believe in.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Bulletin board material for baseball more than I believe in
any other sport, because sometimes you need a little bit
to get you out of that every single day rut
you get into. So you had that, and then you
had the Yankees who played a day game on Monday. Right,
they're home, they have Monday night off, they play their
first game against the Mets on Tuesday. The Mets fly
back in and they have so much trouble with their plane.
(08:55):
Their plane doesn't land until six in the morning on Tuesday,
and they played it game, you know, twelve hours later, Right,
their plane doesn't land. They're on the plane on the
airport until six in the morning. Everything was going the Yankees' way.
This was everything for the Yankees to win this series.
And not only did they not win it, they weren't
(09:15):
even competitive. They couldn't get a split. They looked awful.
This is a team that needs wholesale changes by the
trade deadline, absolute wholesale changes. And look, it kind of
goes into you know, what's been the biggest story in
the world the last few days, which has been President
Joe Biden announcing he's not going to run for reelection,
Kamala Harris stepping in, and you see a lot of
(09:38):
back and forth of hey, is this.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Going to be better? Will this help Democrats win? The
polling is better for Harris and it was under Biden.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
And it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It's a big baseball analogy because when a team is
going bad that has talent, big changes need to happen.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
And it's just like this.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Look, the Democrats will look at it and say, well,
we don't think we're gonna win with Biden, right, The
polling is bad, everything's going down. So they find a
way to try to push him out, which which they did,
and now Kamala Harris is in and she's raising money
and okay, they feel better about their chances.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's the same thing in baseball. If you have a
talented team and it's underachieving, what happens either the manager
gets fired or new players come in and old players
go out. That's what happens when you're underachieving. And here
you are. Now if you fire Aaron Boone, does that
really send a message or is the better message being
we really don't have anybody else that can hit behind
(10:31):
Soto and judge right?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
JD. Davis hitting clean up last night. We talked about that.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
How embarrassing is that guy hasn't played since the fourth
of July hitting clean up for the Yankees last night.
The Yankees need four new players, right, just like the
Braves did a couple of years ago, the year a
cook you got hurt. They're floating around five hundred the deadline.
They decide, hey, let's go for it, and they bring
in four new starters. And what happens, Hey, four new
(10:55):
everyday players, and they wind up catching fire and they
win the World Series. This is what the Yankees need.
Their roster is not very good. You can't Anthony Rizzo
coming back. Is not Anthony Rizzo of twenty fifteen gen
Carlos Stanton will come back, But how's he gonna do
and how long is he gonna be healthy for. You
need to go and change the vibe of this team
because it's just now just circling the drain. You need
(11:17):
to go out and get three or four new You
need a lot like. No team is more desperate. It
should be more desperate at the deadline than the Yankees.
You need so much. You need to change a culture.
You need to say, hey, we're talented. There's a reason
why we were twenty games over five hundred for a
long time. We need to go change out. We gotta
catch the Orioles. We gotta win the Al, We gotta
get to the World Series because we were that good.
(11:39):
You need to go get a ton of new players
and bring them in and change the culture and change
a belief around this team. There is no team that
should be more desperate or more active at the deadline
than the Yankees.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Well, they got off to that big lead where you
had some production from the bottom of the lineup, and
your starters and your rotation were healthy and pitching well,
I mean, just look at the season totals you've got
for Rodn and for heal. But Rodin's had his stretches
where the arm looks a little bit dead and he's
barely getting through the fourth inning, and you know you're
(12:10):
you're trying to ride the lightning there.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You missed Cole for this whole time.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
And now he comes back today, he gets racked around,
and now the Yankees have to apologize for him cursing
a lot in the dugout, either that or ESPN does,
because they really shone a light on that look a
look at how frustrated he is with the Mets. This
was some of the only content they gave you in
between pitch counts of the starters, to tell you after everyone,
(12:36):
all right, you know what comes after ninety five ninety six,
he's up to ninety six pitches. But the Yankees, the
other stat that they gave you, they have the worst
ops from the number four slot in Major League Baseball.
And again with the Marlins and the White Sox and
some of the cesspool of bottom dwelling squads. That's kind
(12:59):
of a big right. You're the Yankees. You spent a
lot of money, and oh, by the way, if you
don't make a change, that's substantive and that can be
felt all the way through. Guess who you gotta worry
about walking away and going to the other clubhouse. It's
Juan Soto, right, who's all world and monster. And there's
nothing Cohen would love more to say. Steinbrander's not spending
(13:23):
money like he used to. So let's have some fun
with this. Shall we get the bidding process up? So
potential for chaos? Yeah, you need a couple of arms.
You need to figure out what the hell happened to
DJ and Lemayhew. I remember when we had fun with
him when he was with the Cubs and he was
just a guy, and then all of a sudden he
became one of the best hitters in baseball. Somehow he
(13:45):
forgot to hit because he's under two hundred right now
as we sit here on July twenty fourth, all of
these things, you know to say for Aaron Boone, he's
screwed like he's in no man's land, and Cashman keeps
getting these vats of confidence. Sorry, I'll call for a
lot of gigs, but that's a guy. At some point.
The expectations not hey, we can ride into the playoffs
(14:08):
in the first or second wildcard. No, the expectation is
that you're winning it all. You're the bleeping Yankees. Biggest
changes coming to the Yankees, most desperate team especially, I
have to get and swept by the mat Fox Sports
Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike
Carbon coming up next.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Do we have some unbelievable crazy headlines from today to
get to that's straight ahead right here, and oh, by
the way, they're all from the same sport. That's next,
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day

Speaker 2 (14:58):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (14:59):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get to.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Yeah, you blubber, listen, name and me.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are
arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it
will continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored. By
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with
Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
And the Mets swep the Yankees at Oh, at least
you got the final word. I really thought you were
gonna make a Johann Ramirez line. No, Frostbury's got enough.
Johann Ramirez in my ear, not very happy. No, No,
I mean he sounded like Aaron Boone.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
The Dodgers no longer getting no hit.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Uh, Chris Taylor got a double and then got hurt
rounding the bases.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
He took one for the team.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So Giants lead the Dodgers three to one. As the
bat top of the eighth inning, bases loaded. Nobody out
let me, I'm just checking see how far behind the
Dodgers the Mets are for best record of the National
League game.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
And let me look, let me let me check after
the sweep in the A.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
If you don't have the game on and you don't
have the internet, how do you know Johann Ramirez is pitching?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Could you tell me the bases are loaded? But no,
that's how you know.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh, if you just see the you see the bases
loading up. Sure, Maria is pitching. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
Tirech dot Com Studios. There is no shortage of great
Olympics stories today coming out of what we saw in soccer.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
But first, let.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Me just say this, because you know, we sperenced so
much attention on All Star games. Now, look, the WNBA
All Star Game was phenomenal last week, and we told
you it was gonna be the best All Star game
in twenty years because both sides want to beat the
brains out of the other. You had Clark and Ogunbowalle
and Reese who wanted to win. They weren't picked for
the Olympic team. The Olympians didn't want to win. We
(17:28):
told it was gonna be it was gonna be great,
it was gonna be competitive, and it was. The MLS
had their All Star Game tonight and yeah, is it great?
Timing Like right after the euro right after Copa, during
the beginning of the Olympics and Games and going no
it's not.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
But hey, MLS had their All Star game.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
MLS played against La Liga and they got pasted.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
It's time.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Now the MLS is good enough and we have enough
good players where we can grow the game on our own.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Here we should grow.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
We can continue to grow the MLS, which has become
the fourth major sport in the last year, and have
an Eastern versus Western Conference All Star game. I get
that in the beginning, when we needed to play teams
like Arsenal, we needed to play La Liga, you know,
or Premier Division. I get we needed to do that
right to help grow that. But here we are now
(18:20):
the MLS is pretty well established. There's attendance is pretty
high everywhere, and everything is up and ratings are up.
We can have an East versus West All Star game.
We can have a celebration of the MLS, especially when
a guy like Ricky Puig, who is one of the
most exciting young players in the game hashtag Pueeg your
friend when he's coming off the bench. I mean, come on,
(18:42):
we can have an East versus West game and grow
the game oursels. We don't have it was I know
we need it in the beginning and I get it,
and I'd say thanks to La Liga, we get we
get times now where you see matches being played outside
of leagues, outside of divisions. We watch Wrexham tie Chelsea
tonight just a few minut ago two to two in
an exciting game. We can still do that. We can
(19:03):
still have that that's exciting to watch. But I'm pretty
sure we can grow the game ourselves here now we
can have we can have the Eastern versus Western Conference
MLS All Star Game and it would go pretty well.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I think a lot. I think more people would watch
it be a bigger deal for the league.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
In the middle of this, we have a we have
a lot of personalities you want people to understand and
get a chance to go look at.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I think it's time for that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I get why we had to do it up until now,
but I think we've we've had a chance to see
that and.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
We can grow the game further by doing it.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I just think that's the point, right.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
It's supposed to be a showcase of your stars and
your league and then going out and losing to La
Liga makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
It does not help your brand. It shows you as
an inferior.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
It's like how do I get La Liga package on
my television network by.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
The action and got after it.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Look, I've got my my MLS subscription, I have it.
You know there there was The game was on Apple TV,
so you had to have that to see it. So
that's a whole other discussion to have when we're talking
about streaming and those processes of making sure your product
is in front of as many eyeballs as you can
get it.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
But when we're looking at it, Jason, it's like you,
even if you.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Don't have a full twenty two plus of stars, you
have to make it look like it that you do,
and you get a hype man. One of the guys
that's announcing the for Apple and for the MLS is
a guy that just left the WWE. Well, his whole
job was to hype a bunch of jobbers. Sorry I
(20:38):
use that specifically because there was a big debate on
social media today about that term. Look, talent enhancement is
a very real thing. Your job is to put people over.
That is the technical and clinical definition of what we
used to call the jobber, right, the prelimb guy whatever.
Your talent enhancement. So your job is to go make
(20:59):
everyone but he look good and sell them whatever the
metric is. Even if he's the fastest runner over the
nine miles he's gonna cover in an MLS game, you
give him a metric that looks looks like he's great.
What his favorite superhero is, how excited he is for
the Deadpool movie. I don't give a damn. The whole
idea is to put these guys over and celebrate the
(21:20):
growth of your league, which we've seen, right, we watch
it here in Los Angeles all the time. Now, Demographically,
we're in a position where we've got a nation within
itself here across Southern California that grew up on soccer.
So you've got the competitive advantage. So BEMO is always
full and all of that. But and the Coliseum gets
(21:42):
big numbers when they have friendlies and everything else, like
it's reality. Trying to expand that across other cities is
something they've been pretty good at on the growth side.
So yes, you don't need other leagues. Pay them whatever
fee you need to get out of whatever the series
is com tracked through and start building your own brand.
(22:03):
It's like what the WNBA is doing. Now you know
the w Jason, All these years playing and stars and
you got appreciation. Well, now you're on another level. MLS
has to think of themselves in the big game as well.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
The Jason Smiths are the Mike Carmen Live and Thetirack
dot com studios. That's just your appetizer for what we
saw today in soccer from the Olympics. Okay, now two
big stories. You probably woke up and saw what the hell.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Is going on?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Why is Argentina and Morocco trending? Well, look the Olympics
in soccer, first of all, everybody is a little bit
different from the men's side of the women's side. Right
the women's side, they bring all their best players and
and it's kind of like a World Cup. Men's side
is different. It's most of the players are under twenty three.
You can bring three players over the age of twenty three.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
You know, leon.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Nolmessi's not there, and Bope is not there. Most of
the big starts for the United States, Polistic isn't there,
most of the best players aren't there. It's still fun
and it's still competitive, but it's not quite what it is.
So Argentina losing to Morocco today, while it's a big upset. Well,
not quite where Argentina had all their best players. But
the drama we saw Argentina and Morocco where Argentina scored
(23:19):
a goal in the fifteenth minute of extra time. Yeah,
tell me things weren't cook to let Argentina win this game.
Fifteen minutes of extra time were added on to the
end of this game that Morocco was winning two to one,
So basically an entire overtime period was usually when there's
a ton of time. They had like seven minutes, right,
(23:41):
or eight minutes maybe eene. Yeah, yeah, sixteen minutes of
extra time they had. We're gonna keep playing this game
till Argentina scores. Argentina scores to tie the game. However,
the play looked like it was offside. At the time,
Morocco fans were so upset they stormed onto the field
and firecrackers off, so all the.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Players had to leave their field. Yeah, it was an
insane moment. They had to stop the game for two hours.
Then when they resumed the game in an empty stadium,
the referee goes and looks at var sees that the
play was offside and the goal did not count. Morocco
plays out the last three minutes and beats Argentina to
(24:22):
win this game. So you had a goal that would
have been allowed to stand, but with two hours to
go by, hey, we have no choice. You have to
disallow this goal because it was offside.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
So you had a.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Couple of instances where they tried to give the game
to Argentina and it didn't work and Morocco wound up
winning the game and say, the the VR replay that
we got sucked. Yeah, right, the US had a goal
that got disallowed and like there was no real even
(24:54):
review of it. It's like, okay, the off side, what up?
Can we check it?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Nah?
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Play on you're already down three nil, blank you. But
like this play, I was waiting for the full explanation,
right the little red line, you know, the infrared system,
all of that stuff. Nothing, So I'm not even sure
he was really all sides except for that they decided
so in the empty stadium and it was just like everywhere,
all the players on the pitch just kind of looked
(25:19):
at him like can we just finish this.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Day? I'm done.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So on the flip side of this, then you had
the result to the Canada controversy. The women's team playing
New Zealand in their first game coming up in a
couple of days, and they had a couple of assistant
coaches sent home and the head coach will not coach
this game against New Zealand because a low level staffer,
(25:46):
I'm just gonna use all the spygate.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
A low level staffer flew.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
A drone over the New Zealand practice and recorded the
entire practice. When the guy was asked why he did it,
he said, oh, I'm a youth coach back in Canada.
I was looking for some tips and pointers.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So now you have this guy's going to jail for
this right now. It's an insane story. And Canada is
gonna be without all their coaches for this first game
against New Zealand because they said, hey, yeah, why not
we can go out and fly a drone over and
record the entire practice of the opposition. Who's gonna tell
(26:25):
due to drone is flying over practice. People are gonna
see that, They're gonna understand that, and they're gonna say, hey,
what's that drone doing up there? And they're gonna investigate, right, So,
I mean, these cheers stories, I mean, look, the thing
is Mike, look at these two stories now, right, you
add today's game, all the crazies with Morocco, where the
game was tried to be given to Argentina twice, right
(26:46):
for the the extra time that was added, the goal
at the end they weren't going to disallow. And now
you add Canada trying to fly a drone over another
country's practice. I want and this is what I take
away from this is that soccer, for a long time
had always been able to hide the shadiness that was
(27:07):
inherent to the sport. Right there, you just accepted it, yeah,
or you accepted that you know, certain calls were going
to be made for certain teams, Certain things were going
to happen, certain goals process to get stuff, oh yeah,
from the field to set bladder and the bidding process. Yeah,
certain bits of shadiness were accepted. But now we're in
(27:28):
an era in twenty twenty four where you can't keep
that stuff hidden anymore. You can't hide that we're going
to give this goal to Argentina because we have var
You can't hide that a sixteen minutes of extra time
because people are going to talk about that on social media.
You can't hide that I'm going to fly a drone
over another team's practice. Like, I don't know that soccer
(27:48):
is ready for the age of information and enlightenment that
we're in, because you see things that that teams are
still trying to get away with. Remember the United States
missed the World Cup a few years ago because of
a goal that should have been disallowed that knocked the
United States out of qualifying. Right as bad as we played,
there was a goal that was allowed that sent the
(28:09):
team on and sent the US home. Went Hey, it
never went over the line, it bounced off the post.
I can't believe they allowed it. Soccer is operated in shadiness.
I don't know that they're ready for the modern era
of soccer where you can't get away with that anymore.
And there's gonna be more stuff like this because it's
still that adjustment period of Oh this stuff we've done
for like twenty years.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Oh, we can't do that anymore. Oh boy, that's gonna
really hurt us.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's gonna hurt We used to get all these calls,
all these things us to happen to give us advantages.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
We're not gonna get that anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
But think about.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
All like it's happened in every sport right super slow
mo and all the angles we get for NFL games.
The pitch box doesn't protect guys like Angel Hernandez or
any Major League Baseball umpire.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Or too soon, Angel Hernandez, too soon well.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
To say it, I mean, we have all these data
points that we never had before. The like I said,
the snap it to a grid soccer thing, which has
been great in.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Spots to help an official.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
As you can see here, his right thumb is off sides,
and that's enough to call it.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
In this offside position.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
You see his thumb, you see it upside. But how
many times.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Have you seen that. Here's the review. You could see
where his arm is up and the elbow is extended.
The elbow is over the red line, so obviously he's offside.
Doesn't matter that he's not moving forward or that his
feet are planted behind where the red line is. Nope,
that elbow is extended. He's offside. I mean, we've got
that kind of lunacy is what we've already become accustomed to.
(29:40):
But to the point where you've always had an international
body that, let's face it, like it's been scandal after scandal.
I'm sure, there's a shelf full of books at my
local Barnes and Noble about each of these guys from
set bladder. I'm the president of everybody and everybody else
that's been in a leadership position. Of the bribes and
(30:01):
and the different moving of players between squads, there's that's
a whole other mess, right when you go down to
the club level and then onto the field.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I mean, when did you decide that the clock was still.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Running as you ran for your lives as fans hit
the pitch was six minutes?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Eight minutes? Is that how you got to the fifteen?
Speaker 6 (30:23):
I mean, how about a little bit of clarity and
explanation as to what that's all about, because otherwise you
just perpetuate more conspiracy theories like the one we're espousing
and discussing and exposing right now.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Exit out by the Fresco, Exit swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. It's gonna
be fun seeing soccer trying to get into the modern time.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
That, oh man, we can't all this crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
We were able to do. Man, we had goals go
off of people's hands.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
That and what that? What that one world comes for people.
We can't do that anymore. They're gonna find us out
of it.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Hey, Hey, that was at Verton.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Coming up next, we had a big story out of
the NFL today and guess what we are making a
game out of it. Maybe I gotta say this might
be even better than the Magic Johnson Twitter game.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon Live from the Tirack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
We have a big football story coming up in about
ten minutes, but we have a even funner football story
to get to right now, like in Corner, California.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yeah, a game that may.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Wind up being better than the Magic Johnson Twitter game.
And I don't say that lightly.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Well, I mean that would mean a lot of other
shows start to steal this one too.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Today, the Chargers open training camp and head coach Jim Harbaugh,
very excited in very Harbaugh fashion, compared what the first
day of training camp felt like to him overall.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
Just the way it feels I mean, it feels like
Beyer's day. You know, it feels like being born, feels
like coming out of the womb. You know, it's like
you're in there and it's comfortable and it's safe, and
now you're out.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
You're born.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
The lights are on the you know, it's bright, chaos,
people look people looking at you, people people talking at you,
and just feels good to you know, have it happen.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
It's like being born. The afterbirth is out. We're gonna
cut the cord all the time.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
So because we're gonna get stuff like this all the
time from Jim Harbaugh, because he's gonna have a big
press conference at least once a week, we're gonna play
a game called Did Jim Harbass say that today?
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Oh that's pretty good? All right?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Did Jim Harbaugh say this today? Playing? Are you and I?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
If Brian Finley would say good things about the Chargers,
Frostburg would allow him to play. But happening, it's not
gonna happen. Uh so Frostburg's got him. Did Jim Harbaugh
say this today?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Go ahead? Frostburg? All right, guys, ready, let's go go ahead.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
What will happen?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Will happen?
Speaker 4 (33:19):
What won't happen, won't happen?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Wow? What happened? Will happen? What won't happen? Won't happen?
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Well, he kind of channeling the old Baron von Rashko. Okay,
promo for an Awa Battle Royal. All right, friend will
turn on friend on foe.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Okay, what do you think did he say that today?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:44):
What will happen? Will happen? What won't happen? Won't happen?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
I mean, he's a great philosophizer.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Is Frostburg really going to start us off with something
Harbaugh didn't say? I'm gonna say he did say that today.
I'm gonna say he did say that today. That is
a Jim Harbaugh statement.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Well, both are wrong. He did not say oh, he
didn't say wow.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
I really thought that was a good philosopher kind of
moment there.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
This game is very difficult. This is very very difficult. Okay,
all right, all right, next, what do we got?
Speaker 8 (34:13):
The highest compliment I can give a player is he's
a football player?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That's true?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
What about Justin Herbert football player? What about Dick Budkis
football player? Football play?
Speaker 5 (34:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
No, I'm gonna no no, that that is definitely a
Jim Harball Wheelhouse comment. Right there, I'm gonna say, Jim
Harball did say that today.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Mike, Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
You both are correct. There we go, all right.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
You know, Frostburg may not really have to make anyone
up over the course of the season.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Well, I mean he did one.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, no, he did well, he's got to throw us
off a little bit, a little bit. But okay, all right,
let's go to the next one. I'm feeling good, I'm
feeling hot now.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
It's like the first day of school, a homecoming, Christmas
all wrapped in one.
Speaker 3 (35:05):

then homecoming, Christmas Morning all wrapped in Christmas Morning, okay,
and being born and New Year's Someone really likes Christmas,
likes homecoming. I don't remember being that big a fan
of homecoming, but okay, maybe he was. I'm sure he
had great homecomings.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
He was the quarterback, of course, is true. Yes, he
was probably the king of the court. And yeah, I'm
sure it was okay.

electronic refund hits you off the state tax return. I
mean like he's what he's gonna do every first of
the year. It's like every celebration or account.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
I want to hit.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
You know, it's like payday on Friday. It's like five
o'clock whistle on a Friday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, it's Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Okay, okay, oh yeah he said that.
Speaker 3 (36:17):

Oh I'm feeling good. I'm getting Christmas Day in on

the playing field.

Harbaugh said.
