Greetings, Welcome in side our three, The Jason Smith Show

racing movie. The soundtrack is great. It is just a

of those movies. Now as we get set for a
big hour where we debate. In a few minutes, we
continue the debate spawned on by Jaws turning fifty. Spawn's
(01:41):
pretty good. No no, no, no, no, no, come on, man,
that's not even in like top fifty comic books in
the last fifty years. Come on, we have that. You
know what, screw it, let's do it now. No, no, no,
I promise that, I promise to baseball stories, I will
say yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
But nobody wants to hear about the crappy Mets.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Save the music. Say it's this is Neither of these
stories are about the Mets.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
They're never going to win again. We know this.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Neither the Wait on Friday, No Mets. No maybe losing.
You're just kicking them to the curb.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Now film from fifty years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
They're never gonna win again. They're never gonna win again.
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You said it right, but.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Never said it. I'm sure you cut and print that. Yeah. Uh.
Two big stories out of baseball today. The first guy
like this story. Has it been overcovered? Ah, I don't
think so. I saw a lot. No, it's not Jaws.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's not jos No, it kind of needs to be though.
This is Uh it's fifty years old.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah it is. We're going Was that the Jaws? Thaf
you were trying to do?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Never know, Jason, I thought he.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Was going to the nineteen sixty six Batman. Uh, No,
I wish it was. It is not Jaws. Is nineteen
seventy Jas and Diapers. No, I wish I saw it.
The first movie I ever saw in the theater was
my aunt when I was six years old, took me this.
The first two movies I saw in the theater. First
movie was Raggedy Ann and Andy. I've never been to
(03:09):
a movie before.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
This explains everything.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And we went on the bus to the movies and
I spilled my popcorn before the movie started, and my
hat went and my aunt went and bought me another
box of popcorn. Wow. I mean, there there's a lot
going on in our lives where I go. You know
what I will. I will kind of have your back
because you did that for me, Like she felt so
bad as you sat down and you didn't know what
it was like to sit in a movie seat. You know,
(03:32):
they go back and I sat down and went ah,
and the popcord just went all over the plate?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
How much butter was on that bleeping popcorn?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So much? Are you kidding? I mean, I don't know
if maybe I spilled it or the butter just tore
through the bottom of the bank. Probably did everything just
fell out? Yeah, So Raggedy Ann and Andy. And then
my second movie was Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
So okay, this explains everything.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, we're pretty sure that explains my lifelong fascination with movies.
Raggedy Ann and Andy. All right, No, No, Star Wars
was number two. Uh, but again on that coming up
in a few minutes more Johnson's coming. Unless this is
how maybe the Red Sox felt playing their first game
against their former star Rafael Devers tonight. Story that, I mean,
(04:16):
we're gonna get to the Jaws thing, frost Pectoria, We're
gonna get to so Giants in Red Sox right now,
big game, bottom of the sixth inning. Giants trailed the
Red Sox six five. This, of course, Rafael Devers first
game against his former team, Red Sox, trading Devers away
(04:37):
last week after a whole exhibition season and early part
of the regular season in which he you know, didn't
want a dh didn't want to play first base.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Was it hodg the entire team? He whined a lot.
He was kind of like Brody getting on the boat.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I need the bigger boat. I need
I need to need to get a trade. It's only
an island if you're on the water.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Jason, don't even try. You've lost everybody, you.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Know. Let me at least talk about Devers for a
minute before we But.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
He cares about the giants they shot.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Says the Dodger fan says the Dodger fed all right,
all right, so okay, are we gonna do Jaws now?
Then we're gonna do Jaws now.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
I think it's I mean, you've had the two notes
playing in the background.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I think I have no choice.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I think I have no actually waited too long. I'm good.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh my goodness, this is you know again he does
have a point tysha, Oh my god. Okay, you guys,
pick a lane. We're either doing that now, or we're
doing it a few minutes and we're doing Devers. Another
crazy story about the Pirates player that took a swing
and a fan. We're gonna to one now and then
we're doing the other one. So what do we do it?
What are we to tell me?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
You tell me, Jason, you know what Jaws has in
common with pirates.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Let's see, they're both on the seven c's yes. Oh
that's a joke. Really, there's no Joe.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I was just saying if you knew, Oh, I thought
they're both the captains.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
They're both in the they both take place in the ocean.
That's where we go. All right, all right, we'll do Jaws. Now.
We'll do Jaws. Now, we'll save the baseball. We'll do
Jaws now. Fifty years ago today, Jaws comes out, a big,
big story all day. You've seen it everywhere. Fiftieth anniversary
of the movie. That's legacy is it spawns the modern
(06:33):
era of movies. Right, we've talked about this nineteen seventy
five to now, and pre nineteen seventy five movies were different.
It wasn't as much fun. There was no such thing
as a blockbuster. And very quickly after Jaws became the
big summer blockbuster, we had summer blockbusters every year. We
saw chances with movie making. We simply judge from we
(06:53):
jumped from Star Wars, jump from that to Star Wars
to Indiana Jones, Star Trek, to other movies. Right, we
went to Galaxies Far far away. Jaws is the beginning
of the modern era of movies. Right, And and uh
so for the last fifty years. I told you earlier
in this show, the best movie the last fifty years
(07:14):
is Back to the Future because it has everything. It
is everything you would ever want in a movie. Right.
It's got the drama, it's got comedy, it's got action,
it's got thrills, adventure, one liners, soundtrack, screenplay, whatever you want. Right,
it's there. I know, I've seen seen Back to the
Future one hundred times. Still it's still tense watching Doc
(07:35):
Brown try to plug the plug in hanging off the
clock at the end of the movie. Right, and still
it's still that tense. It's still done that well. And
uh we had Mark Stein listening, and he called in
and said, no, no, Rocky three is his best movie
the last fifty year. Rock three. I remember seeing it going,
oh my god, this is better than the first Yeah, like,
this is better than the first one. How a third
(07:57):
movie can be better than a first one. I loved
Rocky three and uh. But the thing is is that
all these you threw out a whole bunch of frostburg
in the in the last twenty five years. You know,
we had No Country for Old Men and Shaw Shank
and all these movies that people are are are tweeting
in with, and these are all great movies, right, this
this is not I mean, look, Shawshank is one of
the best movies I've ever seen. Right, everybody has their favorites,
(08:19):
movies that cut through. For me, it's Caddyshack and Almost Famous.
We talk about Top Gun and Lost Boys and all
these movies that everybody loves, right, I got Lost Boys
in the best movie conversation. Ah, you know, but you're
stretched a little, but you got But the thing is,
all these other movies, they're all great movies, but they
do a couple of things, right, Like like as great
as Big Lebowski is man, big Lebowski has the acting
(08:42):
and it has the comedy. Right, It's got that. It's
one of the funniest movies in the last fifty years.
But that's when I saw all of that. Right, Jaws
has doesn't have as much comedy. Jaws has The.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Interactions with Robert Shaw and Dreyfus are so good. Yeah,
there's one limericks and songs.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, he was acting or if he was, uh you know,
drunk with the cameras rolling. Uh, yeah, you know we're
gonna hey, you know what, when we got talking, just
just roll the cameras, right, just roll like living in oblivion.
Just roll the cameras.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Just roll up to see the play that his kid
did about the making and like and his life and
all that.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's good. But the thing is, it's it's what it's
like comparing baseball players to show Heyotani, right, like you
see how many great players there are, but trying to
compare them to Otani, who can do everything. Right, You say, Okay,
a guy like Luis a Riya is when batting title left,
a batting title, right, that's what he does, right, he's
great hitter, right, great, But every year new team wins
(09:42):
a batting title. Yeah, show heo. Tani hits that well too,
not quite as well but almost as well. But Arias
can't do anything else that Otani can do. You want
to talk about players that can hit and get on
bass and steal bases. Guess what? Yeah, maybe they can
do that a little bit better than Otani, but Otani
can do that too, right, Hey, Aaron, judge the way
he he hits the ball. Yeo, Tani can do that,
but Otani can steal basis. Otani can do so much
(10:05):
more than the other players. It's why he's widely widely
looked at as he's the best player in baseball, maybe
the best player that any of us have ever seen. Yes,
and he can pitch as well. He's gonna pitch again
on Sunday, right, don't forget. We haven't seen him do
it a lot in the last couple of years. So
it's like it's like Otani is the back to the
future of baseball players where he can do absolutely everything.
(10:25):
And yeah, there's certain individual things that other individual players
can do just a little bit better, but nobody can
do all of those things like Otani. And that's my
point about Back to the Future. Yeah I did. It's
not a rewatchable for me. Uh And well you're just
look at you, Debbie Downer Happy Friday. I don't want
to go watch Back to the Future.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
No, no, no, But I'm just saying, like I watch a
lot of movies, I'd.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Rather watch white I want to go watch White Sox replays.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Right now, the Mets are about to say, hey, the
White Sox actually one today.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So yeah, that's good, that's good. I want I want
to go watch for former interviews from Matt Eberflus. That's
what I want to watch. I want to go watch that.
I don't want to watch them when they existed.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I'm not doing rewatch those, you know, just because I'm
not a Back to the Future guy. You want to
mock my taste and what what I go back to? Man,
I just watched Sipplewitz again. Even I just saying, like,
I don't know that I've watched Back to the Future
outside of being on the tram at Universal Studios or
watching some recreations by actors at Universal Studios, probably in
(11:30):
twenty years and it was it was Universal Studios night
at Dodgers Dadian the night dude, what scie a guy
dressed like Robert like like Quint?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
What size and flavor? Hater?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Ray?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Are you drinking tonight? Like you drinking like the big
the big hater rate like lemon live, you going fruit punch,
you going deep freeze glacier just like mister pink doesn't
believe in Tippin'. I'm not a Back to the Future guy.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Dude, Michael J. Foxx has a family.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Man, Yeah, and he and.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
He still makes a lot of money when he shows
up to the conventions.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
fIF ten is going to show up and kick your ass. Man.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
He'll always have that song that cannot be That's what
it doesn't have in the almanac.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
What's that, buddy?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
As World series.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's a fair point. What else do we got?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I mean, you got the the list that that I've found,
you got unforgiven Schindler's list, King speech, uh Si, your yours?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, that departed He's like, you know, here's the thing
better than that. Brave Heart Chicago. These are all really
good movies, but they're all they're not one dimensional movies,
but they're movies that do one or two things. Back
to the Future does everything. Chicago had music right, the music,
(12:49):
Oh my god, Chicago, the music was FANTASTICO but the
butt you had. But you also had a great soundtrack
for Back to the Future. I mean, not not quite
the soundtrack of Chicago and what but you had that right. Yeah,
it's got it's got everything. You tell me a great
movie that you're gonna name right now that a great
movie has I'm gonna say Back to the Future was close,
but then when you wanted to get to the other things,
(13:10):
they didn't have that.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Batman nineteen eighty nine, Dark Knight two thousand and eight,
Mad Max Fury Road had a guy with a flaming
guitar that.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Was fantastic, that had like eight words in the movie.
That's That's another movie that changed film made. That was
the big That's one of my favorites. Yeah, oh, I
love pulp fiction. That that changed movies.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Uh, you know, Terrance change how everybody wrote and you
know guine go ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But wait, Tyser's got a good one. Hang out.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I have to watch What.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Anime movie are you gonna tell me about? Story three?
What anime movie? Slash forgotten horror movie that no one
is seen on Netflix that's got one hundred percent on
Rotten Tomatoes because two people have viewed it. What movie
you give me? Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I don't know if I want to say it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Now because it falls into one of those catams.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Littling going on there.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I look, if you disagree with Back to the Future,
obviously you're you're you're feebled what is the way he's
done this.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You're gonna give me another as above, so it is below,
and so whatever will be? You give me that movie again.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
No, Jason, it's a really good movie. It took me
by surprise. And I can't remember the fellow who recommended it.
But Shawshank Redemption a great movie.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
This guy. I can't remember who was in the movie,
but Shawshank sisters, That's what I'm going with. Oh look,
shosh look, Shawshanks in the top five of just about
any movie. That's a movie that you stop and watch
all the time when it comes on TV, like, Oh, Shawshanks,
I I've got to watch it.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't forget.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Fury Road was great too, Man. Fury Road, though only
had I think eight lines in the entire I.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Don't remember the Doctor and Back to the Future playing
a guitar on fire.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, no, that's true, like and and and putting a
flaming guy on fire playing a guitar would be good
in any movie, Like, I think that would add to
anything no matter what the movie is. It could be
some really big drama about a family and everybody is
sick and there's all kinds of stuff happening. And they
live in a lighthouse or whatever it is. And but
you have a guy with a flaming guitar would add
(15:14):
to the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So the lesson we all learned here.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Yeah, for nerds, back to the Future is the greatest
film in the Last Fear or Mike's favorite The Matrix.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
No, Oh my god. I that's a movie that I
saw like once and said, yeah, I don't need to
see it again. Wow, I don't need to see it again.
I don't need to see that. That's fine. The number
of people have debates on that, like you have to
look at this camera. Oh but yeah, Lord of the Rings, Lord,
Oh my goodness, Lord of the Rings the seventeen thousand
movies and oh no, Lord, now, Lord of the Man
(15:46):
is fine. Lord of the Rings was fine. It wasn't
as great as everybody says it was. It was absolutely fine.
Oh oh, here comes to music.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It's the break Monster Music.
Speaker 1 (15:55):

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon F one. The movie stars Brad Pitt,
seeing in the biggest screen possible, only in theaters in Imax.
June twenty seventh, rated PG thirteen from Apple Original Films
and Warner Brothers Pictures. Again f won the movie Huge
action adventure from the director of Top Gun, Maverick. I've
(17:43):

all you need to get to the theater and again, yes,
see it on the biggest screen possible. Your clothes will vibrate,
you will feel like you are right in the cockpit

team when they're on the track. It is fantastic. You're
right in the driver's seat with everything. It is a great, great,
(18:05):
great fun movie.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
With all the training processes and everything. I've never driven
a highway the same way again. No last week and
a half, I'm a little different.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, I'm gonna try to take all these turns really fast. Oh,
there I go. But again June twenty seventh f won
the movie starring Brad Pitt, just a fun racing movie.
So in Baseball Tonight, two crazy stories, one involving Rafael Devers,
and this goes back to what we talked about a
few nights ago. Red Sox playing the Giants, Rafael Devers
(18:38):
playing his former team for the first time since the trade.
He's zero for three. Tonight, Red Sox lead the Giants
seven to five in the seventh inning, and since the trade,
he has been very open about why he refused to
d h at first, why he refused to play first base.
You've seen the stories, and why he wound up getting
(19:00):
the Red Sox. We're sick of him. He was sick
of the Red Sox. Both sides mismanage a situation in which, hey,
we want to make sure our star player is okay
with us going out and getting a third baseman, and
he's not our third basement anymore, and relations just fell
apart from there. Yes, both sides are at fault, but
you see the last week and a half since this trade, right,
(19:24):
and sometimes trades or big moments open up a pathway
to seem more into the story. Right now, what we
had seen going on for this season. But okay, Red
Sox and Endeavors are at odds. Okay, could devers At
handle it better? Yes? Could the Red Sox have handle
it better? Yes, Okay, here's one player and they make
(19:44):
the trade and they move on. But since the trade,
the Red Sox have kind of you kind of had
to get to look inside and see how the sausage
gets made. And you've seen stories of dysfunction with the
Red Sox at the highest level of scouts who had
to be fired because they got mad at the head
of baseball operations in a zoom call. It's like when
brad Bit fired Grady and money Ball. Well, I'm not
(20:08):
gonna fire you, Grady Blank you Billy, I will now right.
And and today Jeff Passon had a great article on
ESPN dot com all about what's been going on why
players and managers Terry Francona have left Boston the last
few years because they can't get along with management and
it you know, we mentioned this a few days ago,
(20:28):
and it really starts to hit home and look, and
our point is even bigger that we talked about, is that,
you know, the Red Sox for a long time, they
had a run is that they were the class of
Major League Baseball for eighty years. They were the little
engine that couldn't right. They were the fun, the fun
underdog story. Everybody wanted to see them beat the Yankees,
but it didn't happen, and when they lost, we would
(20:50):
still laugh at certain ways of how they didn't win,
whether it's Pedro Martinez getting taken out of the game
and Grady Little being at fault. But then all of
a sudden, hey, theo Epstein comes in and it flips
the Red Sox fortunes right, and they win four World
Series over a fifteen year span. And suddenly, wait a minute,
wait a minute, the Red Sox they're the new Yankees.
They're the new dominant dynasty in Major League Baseball. Well,
(21:12):
Epstein got mad, he left. Other people have been traded away,
other stars have left. And look at the Red Sox
now the last few years, they're not even close to
what they were. This is season after season of finishing
under five hundred. They put together a great roster this year,
at least on paper hitting, and they're still barely over
(21:33):
five hundred. And it's time to understand that, well, what
this devor story has done is just illustrate that, hey,
maybe the Red Sox are back to what they were before.
You know, they were the fun story and the foil
for the Yankees. Good times don't last forever. Just because
you become good for fifteen years doesn't mean you're always
going to be good. And the Red Sox dined out
on championships for a long time and theo Epstein building
(21:56):
the team, and they would be able to roll over
from the first two thousand and three chain team to
the David Ortiz years and beyond. But all those times
end and it's been a long time for the Red
Sox since they've been that team. And now the Red
Sox are, you want to be honest, who they are reality,
They're a team that, Hey, they're like anybody else. Hey,
they could put together some they could put together some
(22:16):
talent and maybe compete for a wild card. That's who
the Red Sox are. They're not dominant anymore. They're not
the same team. They're not at the level of the
Yankees and not the level of the Astros what they were.
They're just another team. They're a big market team that
finds a way to not be able to spend the
money in the right places not bring up enough talent,
and they usually have a pretty good farm system to
be able to compete the level they were at. Like
(22:38):
they are done being the Red Sox. And I get
that we're on the hangover of it that we still
remember them winning and Mookie Betts and and and boy
what a great story they are and David Price in
the World Series. But now you have to understand they're
just back to being Hey, they're one of the other.
They're one team in Major League Baseball. They're a foil
to the Yankees. If they're that that it's the reality
(23:00):
of the Red Sox. That's what this last week and
a half has brought up. That you think they're a
big mover and shaker in Major League Baseball, they're not.
They got problems. They got problems in the front office,
they got problems with the ownership, they got big time problems.
They're not what they were.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Well, now you got trouble right here in River City.
So yeah, it's it's a difficult. But the way they
constructed this roster, right, they made a bunch of bets
on guys as reclamation projects and brought in one big
arm over the top. Right, So Crochet has been everything
they could want seven and four, but he's pitched to
(23:33):
a two point two era. So that acquisition from the
White Sox finding good. But you had to give up
prospects in the process. And that was the thing that
you had, this loaded run of top prospects Baseball one hundred,
and you got rid of a few of them. They're
already in the major leagues over in Chicago. Doesn't take
much obviously insert joke here, but that to say the
(23:57):
guys you brought up haven't done on what they were
expected to. Roman Anthony was supposed to come in and
set the world on fire. He can't hit right now.
And several of the other guys they've called up struggling
from the pitching side, Giolito, Walker, Buller, all these got Walker.
Bueller's got a what five nearly six e ra uh.
(24:20):
The pitch to contact for everybody, but crochet is is problematic,
especially when you play in a bandbox and you're playing
in a division where even if they're struggling, the Orioles
still run out a lineup that will get you. If
you're off, the Blue Jays will do the same. Right,
there's no easy run through that division, So all of
(24:43):
that to say you've reconstructed things is what you might
see with the Padres, right, You've got issues and concerns
when with the ownership and obviously everything that's gone on
there and you've spent the last couple of years. Are
they gonna keep spending? Are they gonna trade off parts
if they fall out of contention? You know, all those
(25:03):
questions to be answered. For the Red Sox, that's where
we're at is trying to figure out what the next
piece is. You know, we we've heard a lot of
rumblings that Chapman's gonna get dealt. And then you know,
you might be looking at some of those starters for
teams that have been beset by injuries. Just say, all right,
we'll take a veteran arm who's who's seen some innings.
So even though Buehler's been terrible, guys pitched in some
(25:26):
big games might become a chip, you know, to add
more prospects. But you know, in all, my life's a circle,
get a little Harry chapin that that isn't Cats in
the Cradle in while I'm at it, But yeah, it's
it's it's a difficult spot. And now they're trying to
defend themselves against all of the rumblings that went on. Right,
(25:46):
they just optioned Campbell back to Triple A, and there
were a lot of reports that Devers was pissed that
he was so willing, going, yeah, i'll learn first base, Blake,
that guy, I'll learn. And now that's being refuted, going no, no, no,
there's a lot of discord. There's a lot of a
lot of uh, you know, fighting and Spider Man memes
and pointing each at each other for blame.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But that one's false.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I'm like sure, because out of the hundred things, let's
just pick the most innocuous. The rook wants opportunities, so
he said, I'll play wherever. Yeah, that's the one that
that was the straw that broke the candle to come on,
you kidding me? No, as soon as Bregman came in,
it was all bets were off. What a great blank
you to the Red Sox though, like, right, oh, yeall
(26:30):
play where they want me to play?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, right field, shortstop, pitch catch what yeah, I'll do
whatever whatever they want me to play out the short
center field, like it's a team whatever they need. No,
but you think, but because think about that. I mean,
it's really it's a big thing to understand. The Red
Sox are no longer the Red Sox. Right, They've been bad,
They've not been able to figure things out, and you
see all the dysfunction that they have, and and at
the at the core of it is this, right, is
(26:53):
that if you're gonna go bring in Alex Bregmant, right,
you have to have a meeting where we're all the
way down to it. Right, this all began and you
wound up trading away your best player that you just
signed to a huge contract and you get back a
bunch of jag relief pitchers for him, right like that,
I understand why Red Sox fans are mad, but you're
getting out of that contract. So understand that you're not
(27:15):
gonna suddenly get great players. You're getting out of a really,
really big contract. And that's worth its way too. But
the bottom line is, like you're the Red Sox. You
know Rafael Devers, you know him, he's been there a
long time. You know how he feels about third base, right.
You know, maybe the average baseball fan doesn't know, but
the Red Sox know, Okay, we're gonna go out and
(27:35):
get Alex Bregman. You don't think that that it was
the right thing to say. Hey, oh, by the way,
if we move our guy off a third base, who
is our all star third baseman three time also one
of the best hitters. We just gave three hundred million
dollars too, he might be mad about that, you know what.
Let's talk to him about that before we do it, right, Like,
how is that never brought up? How is that not
(27:56):
something where you want to say, let's make sure we
take care of our player who may have a certain
reaction to it. And then okay, now we're going to
ask him to go DH. And you have to know
that that's going to be the response you are getting
because you have to know your player. And that's what
I don't get is that is that this is a
(28:17):
situation that should be an easy thing. Okay, hey we
want Alex Bregman. All right, what's that going to mean
for our team? The first thing is, okay, what do
we do with Devers? Right? If you go get Alex Bregman?
The next thing is what do we do with Devers? Okay?
All right, well, now we got a wonder is first
base is a DH? What does he want to do.
We have to talk to him about this. He's got
(28:37):
a lot of power, he's got all this money. What
does he want. Let's make sure this is a smoother transition.
And instead it got awkward. And then they asked him
to play a different position when clearly, hey, you want
to think that anyone you ask, hey, I'll go play
first base if you want me to. Yeah, that's an
answer that you want to think. In a perfect world,
if you're Pollyanna, yeah, any player is going to say, hey,
(28:59):
skip wherever you me to play. I'll go play. And
some guys are like that. But this is major League Baseball.
You are dealing with absolute multi millionaires, and you know
some of them are gonna react. Some of them are
very particular about their position. Some of them are particular
about their number. I don't want to wear one different number.
You've got to make sure I keep this. Clayton Kershaw
If you start thirty seconds too late, Clayton Kershark is
(29:20):
throwing every pitch to the backstop. Players are players are quirky.
Not every millionaire is as you think where it should be.
In youth sports, where hey, whatever you want to coach,
I'll go play that position. You'd like that to be
the case, but I live in reality and I know
it's not. And the Red Sox needed to know that
about him. Well, but that's that's the thing though.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
There's very few guys that you just say that are
key Key Hernandez who's made a career out of whatever
you need, Right, that's his value.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Well, he only does that because he wants to pitch.
He says, oh, but that's why we want you let
me pitch a lot. So that's that.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
But that's what I mean, Like, he's the guy that's like,
all right, here's my value to have a nice, long,
extended career in Major League Baseball, become a folk he
in Los Angeles, all of these things that he's been
able to do. You know, when when we're talking about
it from a professional standpoint, you're being compared to other
people at the position for your pay rate. And if
(30:12):
you're not a great fielder, guess what that goes into
the batting batter's box. Eventually if you're struggling in the
field vice versa, you know, you're not as confident. And
we watch guys Butcher plays all time. How long did
he play us?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You know?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
How long has he been an outfielder, Like, well, he
played short stoff, but they didn't really have any room
from here, so now he's trying to No, catching a
pop up is not the same as judging a.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Fly ball to the gap.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
It's not so so I'm saying, hey, just go do
that because that's the position of need.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's great in corporate softball. That ain't working in major
league race. I mean, look at Anthony Davis. I don't
want to play the five. You're seven feet tall. No,
I'm not doing that. We need to get somebody else
to come in and play it.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
That will be fun, right, I mean, it's it's a
tale as old as time.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
It's gonna affect their cheddar. It's gonna affect their their.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Psychological advantages or disadvantages and getting through a game and
being at optimum performance levels, being uh smack talk to
you on the base paths, whatever the case may be. Yeah,
it's there's a lot to it. So assuming it was
just gonna be like play where we tell them we
just paid them a big deal.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
No, no, no, that bolted guy. What are you talking about?
It doesn't work that way? Man. Again, the Red Sox
are they're not what you think they are just back there,
just another team. They're just another team and maybe back
to be the Yankees foil. They're the Iron Mike Sharp
of major League Baseball. They're the Special Delivery Jones of
major League Baseball. That's that's what they are. That's a
(31:49):
Red Sox have turned into maybe a team that can
could be for a while. Guard now and again that's
who they are. Many they've gone from the penthouse to
like the second floor, like notes second floor.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah, they're better than the Mets.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
No stop there or not? Uh time not to find

Greetings, Welcome in side our three, The Jason Smith Show

Original Films and Warner Brothers Pictures. F one. The movie
is a heart pounding story from the director of Top Gun, Maverick.
F one the movie starring Brad Pitt. See it on
the biggest screen possible, only in theaters in Imax. June

see it about a week and a half ago. It
is just a fun two hours of the movies. You're
gonna feel like you're on the track with Brad Pitt
and everybody else during this. It's formula one. It's a
racing movie. The soundtrack is great. It is just a
fun experience. Get your popcorn, go, sit back and again. Yes,
(01:15):
see it on the biggest screen possible. This is one
of those movies. Now as we get set for a
big hour where we debate. In a few minutes, we
continue the debate spawned on by Jaws turning fifty. Spawn's
(01:41):
pretty good. No no, no, no, no, no, come on, man,
that's not even in like top fifty comic books in
the last fifty years. Come on, we have that. You
know what, screw it, let's do it now. No, no, no,
I promise that, I promise to baseball stories, I will
say yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
But nobody wants to hear about the crappy Mets.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Save the music. Say it's this is Neither of these
stories are about the Mets.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
They're never going to win again. We know this.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Neither the Wait on Friday, No Mets. No maybe losing.
You're just kicking them to the curb.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Now film from fifty years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
They're never gonna win again. They're never gonna win again.
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You said it right, but.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Never said it. I'm sure you cut and print that. Yeah. Uh.
Two big stories out of baseball today. The first guy
like this story. Has it been overcovered? Ah, I don't
think so. I saw a lot. No, it's not Jaws.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's not jos No, it kind of needs to be though.
This is Uh it's fifty years old.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah it is. We're going Was that the Jaws? Thaf
you were trying to do?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Never know, Jason, I thought he.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Was going to the nineteen sixty six Batman. Uh, No,
I wish it was. It is not Jaws. Is nineteen
seventy Jas and Diapers. No, I wish I saw it.
The first movie I ever saw in the theater was
my aunt when I was six years old, took me this.
The first two movies I saw in the theater. First
movie was Raggedy Ann and Andy. I've never been to
(03:09):
a movie before.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
This explains everything.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And we went on the bus to the movies and
I spilled my popcorn before the movie started, and my
hat went and my aunt went and bought me another
box of popcorn. Wow. I mean, there there's a lot
going on in our lives where I go. You know
what I will. I will kind of have your back
because you did that for me, Like she felt so
bad as you sat down and you didn't know what
it was like to sit in a movie seat. You know,
(03:32):
they go back and I sat down and went ah,
and the popcord just went all over the plate?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
How much butter was on that bleeping popcorn?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So much? Are you kidding? I mean, I don't know
if maybe I spilled it or the butter just tore
through the bottom of the bank. Probably did everything just
fell out? Yeah, So Raggedy Ann and Andy. And then
my second movie was Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
So okay, this explains everything.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, we're pretty sure that explains my lifelong fascination with movies.
Raggedy Ann and Andy. All right, No, No, Star Wars
was number two. Uh, but again on that coming up
in a few minutes more Johnson's coming. Unless this is
how maybe the Red Sox felt playing their first game
against their former star Rafael Devers tonight. Story that, I mean,
(04:16):
we're gonna get to the Jaws thing, frost Pectoria, We're
gonna get to so Giants in Red Sox right now,
big game, bottom of the sixth inning. Giants trailed the
Red Sox six five. This, of course, Rafael Devers first
game against his former team, Red Sox, trading Devers away
(04:37):
last week after a whole exhibition season and early part
of the regular season in which he you know, didn't
want a dh didn't want to play first base.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Was it hodg the entire team? He whined a lot.
He was kind of like Brody getting on the boat.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I need the bigger boat. I need
I need to need to get a trade. It's only
an island if you're on the water.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Jason, don't even try. You've lost everybody, you.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Know. Let me at least talk about Devers for a
minute before we But.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
He cares about the giants they shot.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Says the Dodger fan says the Dodger fed all right,
all right, so okay, are we gonna do Jaws now?
Then we're gonna do Jaws now.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
I think it's I mean, you've had the two notes
playing in the background.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I think I have no choice.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I think I have no actually waited too long. I'm good.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh my goodness, this is you know again he does
have a point tysha, Oh my god. Okay, you guys,
pick a lane. We're either doing that now, or we're
doing it a few minutes and we're doing Devers. Another
crazy story about the Pirates player that took a swing
and a fan. We're gonna to one now and then
we're doing the other one. So what do we do it?
What are we to tell me?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
You tell me, Jason, you know what Jaws has in
common with pirates.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Let's see, they're both on the seven c's yes. Oh
that's a joke. Really, there's no Joe.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I was just saying if you knew, Oh, I thought
they're both the captains.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
They're both in the they both take place in the ocean.
That's where we go. All right, all right, we'll do Jaws. Now.
We'll do Jaws. Now, we'll save the baseball. We'll do
Jaws now. Fifty years ago today, Jaws comes out, a big,
big story all day. You've seen it everywhere. Fiftieth anniversary
of the movie. That's legacy is it spawns the modern
(06:33):
era of movies. Right, we've talked about this nineteen seventy
five to now, and pre nineteen seventy five movies were different.
It wasn't as much fun. There was no such thing
as a blockbuster. And very quickly after Jaws became the
big summer blockbuster, we had summer blockbusters every year. We
saw chances with movie making. We simply judge from we
(06:53):
jumped from Star Wars, jump from that to Star Wars
to Indiana Jones, Star Trek, to other movies. Right, we
went to Galaxies Far far away. Jaws is the beginning
of the modern era of movies. Right, And and uh
so for the last fifty years. I told you earlier
in this show, the best movie the last fifty years
(07:14):
is Back to the Future because it has everything. It
is everything you would ever want in a movie. Right.
It's got the drama, it's got comedy, it's got action,
it's got thrills, adventure, one liners, soundtrack, screenplay, whatever you want. Right,
it's there. I know, I've seen seen Back to the
Future one hundred times. Still it's still tense watching Doc
(07:35):
Brown try to plug the plug in hanging off the
clock at the end of the movie. Right, and still
it's still that tense. It's still done that well. And
uh we had Mark Stein listening, and he called in
and said, no, no, Rocky three is his best movie
the last fifty year. Rock three. I remember seeing it going,
oh my god, this is better than the first Yeah, like,
this is better than the first one. How a third
(07:57):
movie can be better than a first one. I loved
Rocky three and uh. But the thing is is that
all these you threw out a whole bunch of frostburg
in the in the last twenty five years. You know,
we had No Country for Old Men and Shaw Shank
and all these movies that people are are are tweeting
in with, and these are all great movies, right, this
this is not I mean, look, Shawshank is one of
the best movies I've ever seen. Right, everybody has their favorites,
(08:19):
movies that cut through. For me, it's Caddyshack and Almost Famous.
We talk about Top Gun and Lost Boys and all
these movies that everybody loves, right, I got Lost Boys
in the best movie conversation. Ah, you know, but you're
stretched a little, but you got But the thing is,
all these other movies, they're all great movies, but they
do a couple of things, right, Like like as great
as Big Lebowski is man, big Lebowski has the acting
(08:42):
and it has the comedy. Right, It's got that. It's
one of the funniest movies in the last fifty years.
But that's when I saw all of that. Right, Jaws
has doesn't have as much comedy. Jaws has The.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Interactions with Robert Shaw and Dreyfus are so good. Yeah,
there's one limericks and songs.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, he was acting or if he was, uh you know,
drunk with the cameras rolling. Uh, yeah, you know we're
gonna hey, you know what, when we got talking, just
just roll the cameras, right, just roll like living in oblivion.
Just roll the cameras.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Just roll up to see the play that his kid
did about the making and like and his life and
all that.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's good. But the thing is, it's it's what it's
like comparing baseball players to show Heyotani, right, like you
see how many great players there are, but trying to
compare them to Otani, who can do everything. Right, You say, Okay,
a guy like Luis a Riya is when batting title left,
a batting title, right, that's what he does, right, he's
great hitter, right, great, But every year new team wins
(09:42):
a batting title. Yeah, show heo. Tani hits that well too,
not quite as well but almost as well. But Arias
can't do anything else that Otani can do. You want
to talk about players that can hit and get on
bass and steal bases. Guess what? Yeah, maybe they can
do that a little bit better than Otani, but Otani
can do that too, right, Hey, Aaron, judge the way
he he hits the ball. Yeo, Tani can do that,
but Otani can steal basis. Otani can do so much
(10:05):
more than the other players. It's why he's widely widely
looked at as he's the best player in baseball, maybe
the best player that any of us have ever seen. Yes,
and he can pitch as well. He's gonna pitch again
on Sunday, right, don't forget. We haven't seen him do
it a lot in the last couple of years. So
it's like it's like Otani is the back to the
future of baseball players where he can do absolutely everything.
(10:25):
And yeah, there's certain individual things that other individual players
can do just a little bit better, but nobody can
do all of those things like Otani. And that's my
point about Back to the Future. Yeah I did. It's
not a rewatchable for me. Uh And well you're just
look at you, Debbie Downer Happy Friday. I don't want
to go watch Back to the Future.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
No, no, no, But I'm just saying, like I watch a
lot of movies, I'd.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Rather watch white I want to go watch White Sox replays.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Right now, the Mets are about to say, hey, the
White Sox actually one today.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So yeah, that's good, that's good. I want I want
to go watch for former interviews from Matt Eberflus. That's
what I want to watch. I want to go watch that.
I don't want to watch them when they existed.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I'm not doing rewatch those, you know, just because I'm
not a Back to the Future guy. You want to
mock my taste and what what I go back to? Man,
I just watched Sipplewitz again. Even I just saying, like,
I don't know that I've watched Back to the Future
outside of being on the tram at Universal Studios or
watching some recreations by actors at Universal Studios, probably in
(11:30):
twenty years and it was it was Universal Studios night
at Dodgers Dadian the night dude, what scie a guy
dressed like Robert like like Quint?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
What size and flavor? Hater?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Ray?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Are you drinking tonight? Like you drinking like the big
the big hater rate like lemon live, you going fruit punch,
you going deep freeze glacier just like mister pink doesn't
believe in Tippin'. I'm not a Back to the Future guy.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Dude, Michael J. Foxx has a family.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Man, Yeah, and he and.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
He still makes a lot of money when he shows
up to the conventions.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
fIF ten is going to show up and kick your ass. Man.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
He'll always have that song that cannot be That's what
it doesn't have in the almanac.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
What's that, buddy?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
As World series.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's a fair point. What else do we got?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I mean, you got the the list that that I've found,
you got unforgiven Schindler's list, King speech, uh Si, your yours?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, that departed He's like, you know, here's the thing
better than that. Brave Heart Chicago. These are all really
good movies, but they're all they're not one dimensional movies,
but they're movies that do one or two things. Back
to the Future does everything. Chicago had music right, the music,
(12:49):
Oh my god, Chicago, the music was FANTASTICO but the
butt you had. But you also had a great soundtrack
for Back to the Future. I mean, not not quite
the soundtrack of Chicago and what but you had that right. Yeah,
it's got it's got everything. You tell me a great
movie that you're gonna name right now that a great
movie has I'm gonna say Back to the Future was close,
but then when you wanted to get to the other things,
(13:10):
they didn't have that.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Batman nineteen eighty nine, Dark Knight two thousand and eight,
Mad Max Fury Road had a guy with a flaming
guitar that.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Was fantastic, that had like eight words in the movie.
That's That's another movie that changed film made. That was
the big That's one of my favorites. Yeah, oh, I
love pulp fiction. That that changed movies.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Uh, you know, Terrance change how everybody wrote and you
know guine go ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But wait, Tyser's got a good one. Hang out.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I have to watch What.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Anime movie are you gonna tell me about? Story three?
What anime movie? Slash forgotten horror movie that no one
is seen on Netflix that's got one hundred percent on
Rotten Tomatoes because two people have viewed it. What movie
you give me? Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I don't know if I want to say it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Now because it falls into one of those catams.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Littling going on there.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I look, if you disagree with Back to the Future,
obviously you're you're you're feebled what is the way he's
done this.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You're gonna give me another as above, so it is below,
and so whatever will be? You give me that movie again.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
No, Jason, it's a really good movie. It took me
by surprise. And I can't remember the fellow who recommended it.
But Shawshank Redemption a great movie.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
This guy. I can't remember who was in the movie,
but Shawshank sisters, That's what I'm going with. Oh look,
shosh look, Shawshanks in the top five of just about
any movie. That's a movie that you stop and watch
all the time when it comes on TV, like, Oh, Shawshanks,
I I've got to watch it.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't forget.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Fury Road was great too, Man. Fury Road, though only
had I think eight lines in the entire I.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Don't remember the Doctor and Back to the Future playing
a guitar on fire.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, no, that's true, like and and and putting a
flaming guy on fire playing a guitar would be good
in any movie, Like, I think that would add to
anything no matter what the movie is. It could be
some really big drama about a family and everybody is
sick and there's all kinds of stuff happening. And they
live in a lighthouse or whatever it is. And but
you have a guy with a flaming guitar would add
(15:14):
to the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So the lesson we all learned here.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Yeah, for nerds, back to the Future is the greatest
film in the Last Fear or Mike's favorite The Matrix.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
No, Oh my god. I that's a movie that I
saw like once and said, yeah, I don't need to
see it again. Wow, I don't need to see it again.
I don't need to see that. That's fine. The number
of people have debates on that, like you have to
look at this camera. Oh but yeah, Lord of the Rings, Lord,
Oh my goodness, Lord of the Rings the seventeen thousand
movies and oh no, Lord, now, Lord of the Man
(15:46):
is fine. Lord of the Rings was fine. It wasn't
as great as everybody says it was. It was absolutely fine.
Oh oh, here comes to music.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It's the break Monster Music.
Speaker 1 (15:55):

Yeah, I'm gonna try to take all these turns really fast. Oh,
there I go. But again June twenty seventh f won
the movie starring Brad Pitt, just a fun racing movie.
So in Baseball Tonight, two crazy stories, one involving Rafael Devers,
and this goes back to what we talked about a
few nights ago. Red Sox playing the Giants, Rafael Devers
(18:38):
playing his former team for the first time since the trade.
He's zero for three. Tonight, Red Sox lead the Giants
seven to five in the seventh inning, and since the trade,
he has been very open about why he refused to
d h at first, why he refused to play first base.
You've seen the stories, and why he wound up getting
(19:00):
the Red Sox. We're sick of him. He was sick
of the Red Sox. Both sides mismanage a situation in which, hey,
we want to make sure our star player is okay
with us going out and getting a third baseman, and
he's not our third basement anymore, and relations just fell
apart from there. Yes, both sides are at fault, but
you see the last week and a half since this trade, right,
(19:24):
and sometimes trades or big moments open up a pathway
to seem more into the story. Right now, what we
had seen going on for this season. But okay, Red
Sox and Endeavors are at odds. Okay, could devers At
handle it better? Yes? Could the Red Sox have handle
it better? Yes, Okay, here's one player and they make
(19:44):
the trade and they move on. But since the trade,
the Red Sox have kind of you kind of had
to get to look inside and see how the sausage
gets made. And you've seen stories of dysfunction with the
Red Sox at the highest level of scouts who had
to be fired because they got mad at the head
of baseball operations in a zoom call. It's like when
brad Bit fired Grady and money Ball. Well, I'm not
(20:08):
gonna fire you, Grady Blank you Billy, I will now right.
And and today Jeff Passon had a great article on
ESPN dot com all about what's been going on why
players and managers Terry Francona have left Boston the last
few years because they can't get along with management and
it you know, we mentioned this a few days ago,
(20:28):
and it really starts to hit home and look, and
our point is even bigger that we talked about, is that,
you know, the Red Sox for a long time, they
had a run is that they were the class of
Major League Baseball for eighty years. They were the little
engine that couldn't right. They were the fun, the fun
underdog story. Everybody wanted to see them beat the Yankees,
but it didn't happen, and when they lost, we would
(20:50):
still laugh at certain ways of how they didn't win,
whether it's Pedro Martinez getting taken out of the game
and Grady Little being at fault. But then all of
a sudden, hey, theo Epstein comes in and it flips
the Red Sox fortunes right, and they win four World
Series over a fifteen year span. And suddenly, wait a minute,
wait a minute, the Red Sox they're the new Yankees.
They're the new dominant dynasty in Major League Baseball. Well,
(21:12):
Epstein got mad, he left. Other people have been traded away,
other stars have left. And look at the Red Sox
now the last few years, they're not even close to
what they were. This is season after season of finishing
under five hundred. They put together a great roster this year,
at least on paper hitting, and they're still barely over
(21:33):
five hundred. And it's time to understand that, well, what
this devor story has done is just illustrate that, hey,
maybe the Red Sox are back to what they were before.
You know, they were the fun story and the foil
for the Yankees. Good times don't last forever. Just because
you become good for fifteen years doesn't mean you're always
going to be good. And the Red Sox dined out
on championships for a long time and theo Epstein building
(21:56):
the team, and they would be able to roll over
from the first two thousand and three chain team to
the David Ortiz years and beyond. But all those times
end and it's been a long time for the Red
Sox since they've been that team. And now the Red
Sox are, you want to be honest, who they are reality,
They're a team that, Hey, they're like anybody else. Hey,
they could put together some they could put together some
(22:16):
talent and maybe compete for a wild card. That's who
the Red Sox are. They're not dominant anymore. They're not
the same team. They're not at the level of the
Yankees and not the level of the Astros what they were.
They're just another team. They're a big market team that
finds a way to not be able to spend the
money in the right places not bring up enough talent,
and they usually have a pretty good farm system to
be able to compete the level they were at. Like
(22:38):
they are done being the Red Sox. And I get
that we're on the hangover of it that we still
remember them winning and Mookie Betts and and and boy
what a great story they are and David Price in
the World Series. But now you have to understand they're
just back to being Hey, they're one of the other.
They're one team in Major League Baseball. They're a foil
to the Yankees. If they're that that it's the reality
(23:00):
of the Red Sox. That's what this last week and
a half has brought up. That you think they're a
big mover and shaker in Major League Baseball, they're not.
They got problems. They got problems in the front office,
they got problems with the ownership, they got big time problems.
They're not what they were.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Well, now you got trouble right here in River City.
So yeah, it's it's a difficult. But the way they
constructed this roster, right, they made a bunch of bets
on guys as reclamation projects and brought in one big
arm over the top. Right, So Crochet has been everything
they could want seven and four, but he's pitched to
(23:33):
a two point two era. So that acquisition from the
White Sox finding good. But you had to give up
prospects in the process. And that was the thing that
you had, this loaded run of top prospects Baseball one hundred,
and you got rid of a few of them. They're
already in the major leagues over in Chicago. Doesn't take
much obviously insert joke here, but that to say the
(23:57):
guys you brought up haven't done on what they were
expected to. Roman Anthony was supposed to come in and
set the world on fire. He can't hit right now.
And several of the other guys they've called up struggling
from the pitching side, Giolito, Walker, Buller, all these got Walker.
Bueller's got a what five nearly six e ra uh.
(24:20):
The pitch to contact for everybody, but crochet is is problematic,
especially when you play in a bandbox and you're playing
in a division where even if they're struggling, the Orioles
still run out a lineup that will get you. If
you're off, the Blue Jays will do the same. Right,
there's no easy run through that division, So all of
(24:43):
that to say you've reconstructed things is what you might
see with the Padres, right, You've got issues and concerns
when with the ownership and obviously everything that's gone on
there and you've spent the last couple of years. Are
they gonna keep spending? Are they gonna trade off parts
if they fall out of contention? You know, all those
(25:03):
questions to be answered. For the Red Sox, that's where
we're at is trying to figure out what the next
piece is. You know, we we've heard a lot of
rumblings that Chapman's gonna get dealt. And then you know,
you might be looking at some of those starters for
teams that have been beset by injuries. Just say, all right,
we'll take a veteran arm who's who's seen some innings.
So even though Buehler's been terrible, guys pitched in some
(25:26):
big games might become a chip, you know, to add
more prospects. But you know, in all, my life's a circle,
get a little Harry chapin that that isn't Cats in
the Cradle in while I'm at it, But yeah, it's
it's it's a difficult spot. And now they're trying to
defend themselves against all of the rumblings that went on. Right,
(25:46):
they just optioned Campbell back to Triple A, and there
were a lot of reports that Devers was pissed that
he was so willing, going, yeah, i'll learn first base, Blake,
that guy, I'll learn. And now that's being refuted, going no, no, no,
there's a lot of discord. There's a lot of a
lot of uh, you know, fighting and Spider Man memes
and pointing each at each other for blame.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But that one's false.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I'm like sure, because out of the hundred things, let's
just pick the most innocuous. The rook wants opportunities, so
he said, I'll play wherever. Yeah, that's the one that
that was the straw that broke the candle to come on,
you kidding me? No, as soon as Bregman came in,
it was all bets were off. What a great blank
you to the Red Sox though, like, right, oh, yeall
(26:30):
play where they want me to play?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, right field, shortstop, pitch catch what yeah, I'll do
whatever whatever they want me to play out the short
center field, like it's a team whatever they need. No,
but you think, but because think about that. I mean,
it's really it's a big thing to understand. The Red
Sox are no longer the Red Sox. Right, They've been bad,
They've not been able to figure things out, and you
see all the dysfunction that they have, and and at
the at the core of it is this, right, is
(26:53):
that if you're gonna go bring in Alex Bregmant, right,
you have to have a meeting where we're all the
way down to it. Right, this all began and you
wound up trading away your best player that you just
signed to a huge contract and you get back a
bunch of jag relief pitchers for him, right like that,
I understand why Red Sox fans are mad, but you're
getting out of that contract. So understand that you're not
(27:15):
gonna suddenly get great players. You're getting out of a really,
really big contract. And that's worth its way too. But
the bottom line is, like you're the Red Sox. You
know Rafael Devers, you know him, he's been there a
long time. You know how he feels about third base, right.
You know, maybe the average baseball fan doesn't know, but
the Red Sox know, Okay, we're gonna go out and
(27:35):
get Alex Bregman. You don't think that that it was
the right thing to say. Hey, oh, by the way,
if we move our guy off a third base, who
is our all star third baseman three time also one
of the best hitters. We just gave three hundred million
dollars too, he might be mad about that, you know what.
Let's talk to him about that before we do it, right, Like,
how is that never brought up? How is that not
(27:56):
something where you want to say, let's make sure we
take care of our player who may have a certain
reaction to it. And then okay, now we're going to
ask him to go DH. And you have to know
that that's going to be the response you are getting
because you have to know your player. And that's what
I don't get is that is that this is a
(28:17):
situation that should be an easy thing. Okay, hey we
want Alex Bregman. All right, what's that going to mean
for our team? The first thing is, okay, what do
we do with Devers? Right? If you go get Alex Bregman?
The next thing is what do we do with Devers? Okay?
All right, well, now we got a wonder is first
base is a DH? What does he want to do.
We have to talk to him about this. He's got
(28:37):
a lot of power, he's got all this money. What
does he want. Let's make sure this is a smoother transition.
And instead it got awkward. And then they asked him
to play a different position when clearly, hey, you want
to think that anyone you ask, hey, I'll go play
first base if you want me to. Yeah, that's an
answer that you want to think. In a perfect world,
if you're Pollyanna, yeah, any player is going to say, hey,
(28:59):
skip wherever you me to play. I'll go play. And
some guys are like that. But this is major League Baseball.
You are dealing with absolute multi millionaires, and you know
some of them are gonna react. Some of them are
very particular about their position. Some of them are particular
about their number. I don't want to wear one different number.
You've got to make sure I keep this. Clayton Kershaw
If you start thirty seconds too late, Clayton Kershark is
(29:20):
throwing every pitch to the backstop. Players are players are quirky.
Not every millionaire is as you think where it should be.
In youth sports, where hey, whatever you want to coach,
I'll go play that position. You'd like that to be
the case, but I live in reality and I know
it's not. And the Red Sox needed to know that
about him. Well, but that's that's the thing though.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
There's very few guys that you just say that are
key Key Hernandez who's made a career out of whatever
you need, Right, that's his value.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Well, he only does that because he wants to pitch.
He says, oh, but that's why we want you let
me pitch a lot. So that's that.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
But that's what I mean, Like, he's the guy that's like,
all right, here's my value to have a nice, long,
extended career in Major League Baseball, become a folk he
in Los Angeles, all of these things that he's been
able to do. You know, when when we're talking about
it from a professional standpoint, you're being compared to other
people at the position for your pay rate. And if
(30:12):
you're not a great fielder, guess what that goes into
the batting batter's box. Eventually if you're struggling in the
field vice versa, you know, you're not as confident. And
we watch guys Butcher plays all time. How long did
he play us?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You know?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
How long has he been an outfielder, Like, well, he
played short stoff, but they didn't really have any room
from here, so now he's trying to No, catching a
pop up is not the same as judging a.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Fly ball to the gap.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
It's not so so I'm saying, hey, just go do
that because that's the position of need.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's great in corporate softball. That ain't working in major
league race. I mean, look at Anthony Davis. I don't
want to play the five. You're seven feet tall. No,
I'm not doing that. We need to get somebody else
to come in and play it.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
That will be fun, right, I mean, it's it's a
tale as old as time.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
It's gonna affect their cheddar. It's gonna affect their their.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Psychological advantages or disadvantages and getting through a game and
being at optimum performance levels, being uh smack talk to
you on the base paths, whatever the case may be. Yeah,
it's there's a lot to it. So assuming it was
just gonna be like play where we tell them we
just paid them a big deal.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
No, no, no, that bolted guy. What are you talking about?
It doesn't work that way? Man. Again, the Red Sox
are they're not what you think they are just back there,
just another team. They're just another team and maybe back
to be the Yankees foil. They're the Iron Mike Sharp
of major League Baseball. They're the Special Delivery Jones of
major League Baseball. That's that's what they are. That's a
(31:49):
Red Sox have turned into maybe a team that can
could be for a while. Guard now and again that's
who they are. Many they've gone from the penthouse to
like the second floor, like notes second floor.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah, they're better than the Mets.
