The daily Yankees drama has been SO under-rated. They're the movie character who says "I have enough difficulty just making it through the day." B/C every day this year in Yankee Land is so challenging & daunting.

out this content for you every single day. Let me
just say this, if you had told me six weeks
(01:09):
ago that as a Mets fan, you're gonna be sweating
out Red's Angels mid August. I'd have laughed at your face.
Yet here we are, well, I told you weeks ago
there we're gonna suck.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Well, but that's vague, right, It's all come together to
this moment you're talking about on YouTube. If you're watching
on YouTube, you would see Jason's face. How should we
say consternation to put it in a nice bold term
as opposed to, uh, just generally ticked off.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I am not a fan of Kennley Jensen.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Right, no, no, no, because he had that great scoreless run
and all that, and then all of a sudden he
had the game where that he blew it against the Dodgers.
Comes back with a couple of scoreless innings the last
two times out this time, no, not so fast, Jans
and Jason.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's not good, man, wedding Jens.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Not good, that's good, right, No, not good, not good,
not good at least not pitching for me. But he
strikes out the first batter, and then and then he
hits a guy and then he will come on. Man.
The Angels had tied this game in the in the
bottom of the eighth inning with a home run. All right,
Jansen comes out in the ninth first batter out.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Nope.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Now Red's lead five to four is still batting runners
in scoring positions now facing a former teammate and Gavin
Lux who just rips one.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Down the right field.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah. Hey, I just want to say this. I don't
think it's Kenley Jansen's night. I just want to say that,
I don't think it's Jansen's night. They do throw out
a runner at the plate as Benson is thrown out
trying to score from first on the double down the line,
but it is still a six to four Reds lead.
Now in the top of the ninth inning.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
As Ellie ran up to and said, hey, Benson, what
the hell are you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I was up next. Yeah, what are you doing? Man?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
He just took the bat out of my hand. You
know the angels this Yeah, going to the bottom the
nine six fours with the leads over again. Man, I'm
sweating Red's angels. Man, that's how far I've fallen. I'm
sweating Red's angels.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Did you watch the degeneration of our guy here over
the last.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
This is how far I've fallen. I feel like, what's
the uh, what's the mark? Wahlberg the Basketball Diaries right
where he's basketball star. Then he gets, you know, hooked
on drugs, and like weeks and weeks later, he's in
the He's in the alley and Juliet Lewis season he goes.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Ah, look at you here. I feel like that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Hey man, I was riding high. Now I'm like a dude,
I'm in trouble. Now, man, I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble.
I was riding high. Now look where I am. I'm
sweating out Red's Angels, Wahlburg Basketball Diaries, Leo, Leo and
Wilburg and.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Bruno Kirby's ante. Yeah yeah, yeah, uh yeah, but I
remember you met Bruno Kirby.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Bas I remember about that? Is that said, wow, Leo's
a pretty good basketball player. I was pretty got a
couple behind the back passes and between his legs, and wow,
Leo's pretty good. It's not normal sweat. No, this is
this is stinky, this dirty, smelly sweat. This is I've
swet yet, Yeah, I mean sweating. Lot of you think
on this sweat this is yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, it's bad. It's not not great, Bob.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
It's because you're also rooting for the Angels, I know,
what you know is just really a bad way to
be the only team they usually play well against is
the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm not getting anything here.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Now they're coming up to play sport. I mean, you
won your game, so at least you got that guy.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I know, but still like the Angels had a chance
they tied the game, all right, right?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
No, no, you saw of those rings they got for
sweeping the Dodgers. That was the Freeway Series rings are
pretty old, those rings are yeah, yeah, it was pretty awesome.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I mean they hung an extra large banner, yeah, to
commemorate each of those wins.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I really think if they would, you would you really
be that surprised if you found out at some point
next year that your temporary batter, obviously because you know,
year to year. But the Angels hang a banner that
said twenty twenty five Freeway Series Champions with a six
and zero record on it and a giant picture of
a broom twenty twenty five. Oh no, it'd be they know,
it'd be the Angel logo and maybe you know, a big,
(04:58):
a big, a big picture of Joe Adele and a
tiny one of shoeo Tony and then.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
They do show giveaway Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, the
Chad Freeway Series Champions twenty. I would not be surprised
at all. I would milk that for all I could.
If I were the Angels, Angela do it. Yeah, no, exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Meanwhile, we could be this close and I'm doing the
Tom Looney and you can't see me, but I got
my fingers this close together to a Micah Parsons trade
from the Dallas Cowboys. ESPN NFL in Shot insider Adam
Schefter said earlier today on ESPN that he sees the
two sides headed towards a divorce. All right, Now, first
(05:43):
things first, you know someone's telling Adam Schefter.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
This, no, and if this is this is if this
is going to get done.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Jerry Jones is not leaking to Adam Schefter that we're
gonna signe. Don't worry, We're gonna sign him, right.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That to he lee. If that's again, if the.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Cowboys are leaking something positive, it would be positive.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It would be don't worry, We're gonna get it done.
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
This is one of or both sides understanding that, oh
maybe we bid off more than we could chew you
that the cowboys and Jerry Jones realize, oh, some guys
are okay, hanging back and losing the battle in the media,
knowing full well they get paid right, because that was
the big story when when the first when Micah Parsons
I no longer want to be here, it was advice
(06:29):
from other former players saying, hey, listen, let Jerry win
the battle in the public relations. Let him keep the
attention on. Do stuff, get it, get attention, which is
what Jerry likes, and you'll get paid right. It worked
with Zeke, it worked with Dak, It work with CD Lamb.
It's work with a bunch of guys. But eventually you're
gonna get to that new player, that new gen Z
player who's gonna say no, no, I'm not gonna do it,
(06:51):
and I'm not gonna You're not gonna take advantage of me.
We talked to Jason Cole and we had a great
point last hour that Jerry Jones could get you know,
they could lose draft picks. You know, you're not supposed
to talk to a player without his representation present, Jerry
Jones said. We talked to Micah Parsons and thought we
had a deal. Like all of that is illegal, Like
you can't. We talked about the time, like you can't
do that. Man. You could talk to a player, but
you can't sit there and talk about money. Right, that's
(07:13):
where the players got to get up and walk away.
But Michael part you can't do that.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
But that's the thing, right, And now we get into
the devil of the details. How much was in particulars
versus an overarching we need you here, we want you here. Yeah,
and smooth talking that way and that we don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
No, But yeah, the fact that he said I thought
we had a deal, that's the big thing. That's Jerry
Jones going all Joe Bluth, where Joe Bluth has always
admit way too much and get in trouble for schemes
on the rest of development, like Jerry Jones over the top.
But you didn't talk You didn't talk money with him
at all, Right, Jerry said, we're in the clear. Oh no,
I thought we had a deal. Now, don't don't say that, Jerry.
These are investigators. What are you doing all right now?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Jerry?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
When I say do you think you had a deal,
you say no, No money was ever discussed all right,
I got it all right now, Jerry. For the record,
at this oh I thought it was done although we
had an agreement and then apparently we didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Wait, let me stop the tape recorder, Jerry, I remember
what I said. You can't admit to that. Right. This
is a bad situation. And from MICHAEH.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Parsons to go to the point not where I'm gonna
sit out of practice, I'm gonna I'm gonna do something
that's a sit in that it doesn't show how much
I'm really upset. He said, I no longer want to
be here. And where Jerry Jones in the past, I
completely understand him thinking going through this, but the guys
all signed right, Eventually you're gonna run up against that guy,
(08:32):
and Micah Parsons is that guy. When when that's when
this story broke and Michah Parson said I no longer
want to be here. That should have been the moment
where Jerry Jones realized, oh, I played this all wrong,
because this is what stars do. Michael Parsons is smart.
This is not something that he didn't do without consulting
his agent, without what.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Do I do here?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
But when when stars want out they go nuclear. Right,
we talk about it in the NBA all the time.
Guys have to say they want out. This situation is
no longer tenable because that's how stars get traded.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's why James Harden has gotten traded. It's why Kevin
Durant has gotten traded. It's why Giannis has not gotten traded.
Because I don't want to say things are so bad.
It's why Joel Embiid has not gone trade. Well, I'm
not gonna say things are so bad.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
If you're a star, nobody's given him if they want.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
If you're a star and you don't say you want out,
teams are gonna keep you and find a way to
try to make it work, because hey, trying to get
a star is really difficult. So we're gonna make it.
We're gonna make it work. But if you say I
can't be here anymore, I want out, that forces a trade.
Jerry doesn't understand how serious of a situation that was.
When Michah Parsons said I want out. And here's all
(09:39):
the things that you did that that made that upset
me and got me to this point. And and look,
I keep going back to the fact that as much
as Jerry Jones has liked being the Cowboys, and certainly
from a business standpoint, there's been a tremendous success, which
is his real scoreboard since I have won a super
Bowl in thirty years's but he's got those super Bowl titles,
he's gonna be celebrate them. This is why I say
(10:02):
pretty sure the NFL has passed Jerry Jones by. Like
this moment with Micah Parsons is telling you that, Okay,
he no longer has the edge to run the team
the way he needs to where you can't say everything
he does, you have to try to clean up. Right
before they drafted Dak, they drafted Zeke. That was like
the end of Jerry Jones's run. That was the end
(10:23):
for Okay, Dak and Zeke. I gave them money. Awesome,
Ceedee Lamb got paid, but we knew Ceede Lamb was
gonna get paid. But this is now the point where, Okay, Jerry,
I think you're losing your fastball a little bit here,
and no longer are you on top of what it
means to run a team, and run an NFL team
to the point where you can even get the right
talented because now like you now, how many guys are
(10:44):
They used to spend money on on top heavy, too
many guys like the Niners the last couple of years.
Now it's not even that case anymore. It's like three
guys are making like fifty million dollars a year. Like
he has lost his fastball. And this is a bit
of evidence because yeah, we told you this was gonna
end in a divorce with with parts of the Cowboys.
Schefter's not putting that out there unless that's gonna happen
(11:05):
because he's not gonna be wrong and have to come
back and say, oh, guess what after eleventh hour negotiations,
this is gonna No, No, he's not gonna be wrong
something like that. So he's getting fed stuff that tells
you this is what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
No, it's good.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I mean, he it's not like he's ever been wrong before.
As I shift in my chair here, but we look
at where the cap is right. They spent money on Ferguson,
They've paid guys and for Jerry Jones, And you know,
we've used this a lot talking with about players through
the years, and you know that moving from your brilliance
(11:38):
in college to early success in the pros and then
having to adjust because the learning curve is different, right,
we're talking about with Anthony Richardson, We're talking about it
on all these different levels. Kyler Murray, insert your video
game jokes here and there. But like all it is,
if it's always that easy and you always get your
way to where you're the best athlete, you're the smartest
(11:58):
guy in the class or woman in the class, or
in business, you're able to lean and eventually get your way.
There's no impetus, there's nothing forcing you to change until
you finally hit that giant stumbling block. So when Micah
Parson says, I don't want to be here anymore, I
could see Jerry Jones. Maybe he came off the set
of Landman or taping an interview for that documentary that's
(12:21):
going out or whatever, and he said, boy, this kid
knows how to play this game. Doesn't mean yeah, and
it was amused by it, but still thinking, all right,
we're still you know, I could trade barbs. He's gonna
say his stuff and that it's eventually gonna work out,
and it still could like at some point he could
just realize, all right, what do we gotta pay this
guy and just be done with it because now we
(12:42):
have to go play the Eagles. Right, It's gotten you
through the entirety of your training camp, Michaeh. Parsons, And
I was only half kidding with that photo as we
talked with Jason Cole last hour, because he's a guy
that I genuinely think wants to find his happiness back
on a football field and he'd love to be out
(13:03):
there with his squad and is pissed that it's about
dollars and cents that he's having to fight like this,
thinking I've shown you on the field what I can
do that this would would resolve itself. And the fact
that we're still sitting here in the eleventh hour, and
again this goes back your team leaders, like we talked
about with Cincinnati, at some point, someone's gotta start applying
(13:25):
the pressure too. If we need this guy, if we're
gonna win, Jerry, if you want another Super Bowl win,
someone's got to say something. You've all got paid, you
all got fat and happy, Dak and CD and all
these other guys. It's time for you to come up
and talk for your guy.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
If Jerry Jones has to trade Mica parts I'll tell
you it's gonna it's gonna end differently than all the
other ones have. Again, there's no bigger sign the NFL
has passed Jerry Jones by than him losing a negotiation.
Because this is a negotiation and he had to wind up.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Trading the player. This is where again, this is where.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
This is why I say the NFL's passed Jerry Jones
by because that's where this is going. You're gonna lose
the best defensive player in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
It's so hard.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I take umbrage with the fact that I was described
as lonely.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, when you're.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
More angry than when you're root for a losing team,
generally that you get. The connotation is that you're lonely alone.
You know, no one says, hey, have you heard about
that loser with a great life and a lot of
friends and his team stinks? No, you really heard about
the lonesome loser beaten by the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Every time.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That's fair, Okay, loansome loser. The song wouldn't lie to you, No, no, no,
he'd lie to us through song.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Uh, we're gonna get deeper into the Yankees coming up
in a few minutes, because they nearly set an MLB
record tonight they beat the Rays thirteen to three, and
in this game where they're beating them thirteen to three
right now, bottom of the nighte thinning, there's two away.
The Yankees have hit nine home runs in this game tonight.
(17:26):
The record for most in the game all time is ten.
That was set a few years ago. So well, I
mean it is Yankee pitching. It is that My dad
would say, oh the bullpens out. You never know, we
could give up ten. But short of a ten run rally,
the MLB record of ten is safe. But the Yankees
nine home runs tonight in this big game over the race.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Does this get Aaron Boone off the hook for a day?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Hang on and the answer is no. No, The answer
is no. Today.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
After address questions about it being a minor league ballpark, Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
First question after the game, Matt, Aaron, Yeah, you guys
hit you guys should ten home runs tonight? Yeah, yeah,
it's a great well. I asked my question, Uh, obviously
this is your night tonight. How come you guys couldn't
hit eleven to set the record? You one go over
your head. I was in the middle of doing my
doing my New York compression. Horrible, it's happy when you're
from New York. I mean it's horrible. You know what,
(18:21):
You're horrible. Frostburg, how about that, You're horrible? D love
about that. We knew that, we knew all these.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Things, Adam.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Why couldn't you hit eleven? I think I picked underpants.
If if if Tory was managing, we would have hit eleven.
Tory was man if Girardi was managing the team, we
would have hit eleven. We didn't eleven. I don't Why
couldn't you hit eleven tonight? I think I think the
team is quite on. New Yorkers don't have low t
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
They quit on you, They quit on you know, they
do it the becoming a little more animated.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
No, no, see.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
See, that's the thing about New York adults when they
yell at you, at least judging in my experience with
a kid, is that when they really get like everybody
thinks they're all like like like the Michael Rapp, the
Danny I Yellow and Brad everybody jumped out no, but
sometimes it's, Hey, you know how disappointed I am in you?
So I'm just gonna say this because this is gonna
be a serious thing, right like that said this because
that was a big way like all our coaches whenever,
(19:11):
like our coaches weren't yet didn't yell as much in
football and baseball, but it was more of a hey,
you know, really, you know you disappointed me. You disappointed me.
I thought of you as a son, and now this
is what I get from you. Now I'm doing a
little more to Tony soprano, Christopher, I thought of you
as a son.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Gonna start talking about ducks and stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yeah, And Chicago was instill fear you might get hit
with a whistle, might grab your helmet and smash into
the guy next to you.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Steel chair to the head.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah exactly, Hey you hit this kid with a steel chair. Now,
I want to know who's gonna fix this chair because
it's got a big dent in it. And if my
mom goes to sit in it and she falls, guess
what I'm coming after? You with said chair, and there's
gonna be another dent in it, and there's gonna be
another one in your head, and you're gonna get the
(19:59):
needle because Mark Paul Gotsler is coming in here, and
he's even more upset than I am.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Mark Paul Gostler first, Jimmy switch Lee's the show, and
I was okay with that because, well, I liked the guy,
but I liked them a lot better than David Caruso.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
But now you get you bring in Ricky Schroeder.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
The last time I saw him was in the champ
and that was in like nineteen eighty four, like that
big mat and Silver Spoons.

come on that seventy for the chance.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, silver Spoons, hanging out with Alfonso Ribero.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Together, we're gonna find our way, you and I to get.
Didn't you always want to train running through your house
like that? Sure? Like that would have been good? Right?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
That was? That was me when I'm a real big
crush on Aaron grat No, Well I didn't, Wow, I
was eight years old. I'm like, I love eron Jason
the Faery. She's beautiful. Aaron Gray Buck Rogers. Of course,
Aaron Gray is beautiful. Seventy five years old?

Speaker 1 (21:12):
How do you feel, Alan, Well, it just turned fifty two,
but I feel eighty six because it your first button here.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
One year coaching the Jets takes me that way. Boy,
you're a lot great.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
It's like one of those President's pictures where look at
what the president looks like after four years of running
the country, and it's like, oh, look at Aaron Glenn
after one year with the Jets.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Who look how old you've become.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
The quarterback derby in Indianapolis has been settled today that
it's a final. Daniel Jones gets the gig over Anthony Richardson,
which we told you Daniel Jones was going to win
the job, because clearly, and in a really weird way,
it's a matter of trust. The Colts know they can
trust Daniel Jones to run the offense, to move the
(21:50):
team up and down the field. They don't know that
they can do that with Anthony Richardson, who's still as
well as he's played in camp this year, and everybody
you know, all the insiders, all the report, all this say, listen,
it was a pretty even competition. The fact that it's
an even competition and still Daniel Jones wins tells you
where the Colts are at with Anthony Richardson. They couldn't
(22:11):
trust him to run the team. And now you have
Anthony Richardson's agent saying, I don't know what his future
is in Indianapolis. Yeah, it's gonna be someplace else. So
potentially if Daniel Jones gets hurt and Anthony richard goes
back and he gets to play, but really, Richardson is
done in Indianapolis and now he's gonna hope to get
donalded at some point where I'm going to bounce around
as a backup, but maybe I get enough reps at
(22:32):
some point where someone can give me a job as
a quarterback. Right, we told you it's going to happen
to Trey Lance, who is one of the best stories
in all of training camp this year. How much easy
he has really become a sought after player in Chargers camp. Look,
Jim Harball, whatever you want to say about his offensive system.
It is very quarterback friendly. Quarterbacks are in the position
to succeed. Trey Lance has played extremely well in a
(22:55):
couple of years. In the next few years, he'll get
donald it.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
He'll be hell.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Team will look back and say, you know, he is
number three overall pick for a reason. Look at him
in hardball system. He can be our bridge quarterback. He
can get genoed, he can get darnolded. It will happen
because when you're drafted that high, someone will always come
back to you. The same thing with Anthony Richardson, someone
will come back to him. It's just now, we know
you're young. But man, I'll tell you what it's gonna
be a couple of years and then look forward to
(23:19):
those story lines of Anthony Richardson is still younger then
seven of the eight quarterbacks picked in this draft.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
He's gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Go somewhere, rehabilitate his image, prove that he can stay
on the field, that he can run a team. Maybe
it's going to the CFL, whatever it is. He needs reps.
He needs to play because it's gonna be a couple
of years for him, barring injury. Here because he's done
in Indianapolis, but his legacy is going to be more
than just Anthony Richardson didn't work in Indianapolis. Richardson had
(23:47):
all kinds of talent and he didn't play in a
lot of games in college. And you look at where
he's at right now. Okay, so thirteen games a Florida
and couldn't stay on the field as a rookie in
the NFL last year, couldn't stay on the field. Now
he loses the job Daniel Jones. Teams are now going
to say, you know what, red flag. We're gonna go
back to the maybe not quite the old Bill Parcells
theory of a guy's got to start forty games in
(24:09):
college and I'll look for him. But quarterbacks who don't
have the resume of starting at least two seasons in
college football, teams are gonna shy away from that because
they're not going to want to spend a first round
pick or a high first round pick for a player who, well,
hopefully he can pick things up. Because the thing is,
(24:29):
you can't learn to play quarterback in the NFL. And
that's the Anthony Richardson thing is he's got to learn
how to play quarterback in the NFL because he didn't
have enough reps before. And guess what, you can't do that.
So now unless you have that, if you have a
couple of years behind you, okay, that's great. Yeah, we'll
take you here high in the draft. We'd love everything
about you, but the raw talent, minimal amount of starts
(24:50):
in college. These guys are gonna get underdrafted now and
it's gonna be Yeah, we like you, but you're more
of a third round pick than top five of the
draft because you're someone needs to come in, learn the system,
get reps, and maybe some point we see you play.
And conversely, from the player's perspective, maybe these guys stay
in college a little bit longer because now they can
(25:11):
get more money. With nil they can make more money
than potentially they'd make in the NFL as a third
round pick. Hey, I could make seven million. Do you
think Quentin viewers wouldn't do that decision? Again, boy, I'm
trying to hold on as a number three quarterback in Miami.
I could have made eight million dollars going someplace else
for my senior year in college because Arch Manning's pushing
me out. But I could hit the transfer portal and
made a lot of money nil wise, like now, at
(25:31):
least it's good for players where they have that decision
to stay to get more opportunities.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
But guys like.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
This, the raw guys coming out with that a lot
NFL teams are gonna say, yeah, sorry, we're gonna back
away from you. And you're now more a curiosity in
a project than you are a guy we can hand
our franchise to.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, the nil and whatever it becomes. It's the unintended consequence.
In theory, you're gonna get better quarterbacks coming into the league,
more seasoned guys that have seen more reps, more plays.
With Anthony Richards and we had that one great month
you started fasting a Heisman trophy out of tinfoil when
we were watching him on one of those late night games.
So I mean, you were jacked up, and then you
(26:07):
get by on all that athletic ability. That's it, right,
you can do that. But I mean, look at look
at just the straight numbers. Right. We've talked a lot
about Dylan Gabriel and should or Sanders. Should or Sanders
contract four years, four point six million dollars. He's making
far more than that.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
One more year in college, right, I mean, just go
on down the line.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
So there's gonna be quarterbacks that take all of these
as learning experience and say, well, and that's why the
arch manning thing is interesting, because I mean, they have
money like that that's already there, and then it just
becomes a all right, how far along are you in
this particular case. You know, Daniel Jones is is not
by any means the most accomplished former first round pick.
(26:49):
Had that first season where he's shown a bit, not
gaudy numbers, but made plays, made plays with his legs.
But another guy who's been hurt a lot. So it's
navigating through that. I saw a lot coming out after
this decision of well they're clearly tanking, like no, then
you play Richardson in his sub fifty percent completion right now.
(27:10):
Unfortunately he got hurt in twenty twenty three, but that's
sub fifty completion right out there, to the test, just
going we're just throwing you out there. Sorry, rest of
you guys, Hey, it's just growing pains with the rest
of you. But I mean, he got hurt in his
rookie eear mood have never known. I mean, because he
flashed a couple of plays where like, okay, with his legs,
made a couple of big throws. We know he's got
a canon of an arm all of those things, but
(27:33):
you got to be able to hit the basics. Yeah,
and that he hasn't been able to do. Can't stay
on the field. Oh and asking out of a game.
Don't tell me that that doesn't have long legs to it.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh, that was the that you know what I mean,
Like you'll nail in the coffin of we have to
have another guy in here. That got Daniel Jones in
That was we can't go for. They couldn't trust that
Anthony Richardson was going to be the guy anymore, even
that he knew what it took to be a quarterback,
which I mean, you can't learn how to play quarter
back in the NFL. And that's what Anthony Richardson thought
he could do because he's a physical freak. In the
(28:04):
talent that book you watch me see, the talent is immense,
But you can't learn to play.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
The position in the league. You can't do that.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, Ballard Stiken, you know, all right, we're gonna bring
him in and he's gonna learn fast. Trial by fire
and it's gonna work. Well, it didn't in any way,
shape or form. It was the exact opposite of everything
they've been doing. I believe Daniel Jones is quarterback eleven
since Andrew Luck walked away, and he's now talking about
regret and whatever else.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
What he did to his teammates. That's a whole other
thing is he's up at Stanford.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
But with with Anthony Richardson, that was the antithesis of
everything they'd done in the post Andrew Luck. Right, it
was one old guy after the next bandaged. All right,
now let's get the youngest guy we could possibly the
greenest guy ever.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Oh crap, that didn't work either.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Well, you know the thing is that I get falling
for that because it's it's just you think this guy
is gonna take over the league, right, you think you
see Anthony Richardson and you think this guy's Cam Newton.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And history and everything that he's done that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, he's gonna come in and the physical talent he
has and we and how big as he is and
how fast he's gonna take over there and they're seeing
him and seeing that's Cam Newton, man who came in
and he was a say but instead you know, but
Cam Newton played a little bit more football and than
Anthony Richardson did and stayed healthy and that and that's
a that's a big thing. Like once he lost all
(29:24):
of his rookie year to injury, basically with two weeks,
you know, you could see the talent level that he
had where it's where a typical game for the Colts was, hey,
through three quarters, they're losing seventeen nothing, but then in
in eight minutes, Anthony Richardson has a touchdown run and
a touchdown pass and now something they're trying to pull
it out at the end of the game. Like that's
the that's the talent level. So you knew what was there.
(29:46):
You knew it was there. But when you lose so
much time, really you're like Trey Lance, you're like one
of You're like one of these quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That dude, you just you need to you need to play,
You need to come out and do it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
And and for Trey Lance to see a number three
overall that the forty nine ers invested in him, and
you saw they got lucky with brock Purty. But obviously
it was a really difficult path forward. Knowing how much
do we stay with Trey Lance? Do we go to
Jimmy Garoppolo? Do we go back to Trey Lance? Jimmy,
do we go to brock Purty? Do we stick with
Trey Lance? And now the Colt's doing the same thing,
(30:17):
like that's NFL teams are they said, okay, that that
is a non starter for us anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's an absolute nonche So now you have to pick
a lane.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
You've got enough talent and you've got a division that
if it all breaks right, that you can actually have
something come together and make it work. And Daniel Jones
doesn't need to be great, just needs to be efficient
and complete more than fifty percent of his mess tell
me how to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. But guy who's been called the Daniel
Jones of.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Fox Sports Radio as good as a kid, his nickname
was Stevie Dimes and Steve the Sager.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
That's about what I hearn now, so I've kept the nickname.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
Major League Baseball, everything is now final, including that Yankee game.
A long night for Tampa Bay at home. You see
that there was a rain delay at the start. When
they finally got going. The Yankees in the top of
the first hit three straight homers, Aaron Judge with his
fortieth of the season, eventually thirteen to three. The final
for New York, Carlos Rodan thirteen and seven, got the victory.
(31:13):
The story here the long balls. The Yankees in the
nine innings hit nine home runs. They hit seven just
in the first four innings of this one. Cody Bellinger
had four hits in the game, including two home runs.
Turns out that the Toronto team of nineteen eighty seven
had a ten home run game that is the record.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
But the Yankees hit me got so I.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Gotta be George bell right, Jesse Barfield.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Ernie Witt hit three there.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Wed had three home runs in a game.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
Wow Wow, Treed McGriff, Lloyd Moseby, et cetera. There were
amazingly nine home runs in a Yankee game this year.
In late March, they won a game twenty to nine
against Milwaukee, So they've hit nine in a game twice
in the same season. The only other time a team
(32:01):
has hit exactly nine home runs in a game, Aaron
Boone hit one of them for the Reds in a
nineteen ninety nine win at Philadelphia when the Reds won
twenty two to three that game. Tonight's final Yankees thirteen
to three at Tampa Bay sho Hee, Otania. The Dodgers
hit his forty fourth homer of the season. The Dodgers
eleven to four winners at Colorado. The Dodgers first in
(32:23):
the NL West, still two games over the Padres. They'll
be in San Diego this weekend that includes a Saturday
night game on FS one. The Padres ended a four
game losing streak with a home win over San Francisco
five to one. Nick Pavetta, thirteen and four got the win.
Is he l two point eight one. He had ten
strikeouts in six innings. Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill was out
(32:44):
again with a bad ankle. The Reds are still a
game out of the last NL wildcard behind the Mets.
Each team won Cincinnati with two runs in the top
of the ninth one in Anaheim, beating Angels closer Kenley
Jansen six to four. The red starter Hunter Green At
twelve strikeouts in six and a third inning no decision.
Arizona ended a four game losing streak edge in Cleveland
(33:05):
six to five. Kansas City won it's fifth straight, five
to two over Texas. Ranger pitcher Jacob de Gram's start
will be skipped on Wednesday due to shoulder fatigue. A's
one six to three at Minnesota. Atlanta was down ten
to four to the White Sox after six innings, but
still beat him eleven to ten. The White Sox record
now forty five and eighty one. Baltimore won in eleven
(33:26):
innings at Boston for to three, as the Red Sox
offense with runners in scoring position went oh for thirteen.
A reminder, Fox TV has baseball this Thursday night Boston
at the Yankees. For most of the country, Toronto a
seven to three winner at Pittsburgh Blue Jays. First base
from Vladimir Guerrero was out with hamstring inflammation. The win
to Max Scherzer six innings, just one run alout. Matt's
(33:48):
catcher Francisco Alvarez goes on the injured list with a
spring thumb. Tonight, the Mets hit four homers in an
eight to one win at Washington. Winning pitcher David Peterson
ten strikeouts in his eight innings. Phi Delfia beat Seattle
six to four. Bryce Miller went five innings for the
Mariners just off the injured list. No decision, but J
t Rail Movedo on the bottom of the eighth hit
a two run shot.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
That was the difference.
Speaker 7 (34:10):
Kyle Schwarber with an early forty fourth home run of
the season and the starter for the Phils tonight, Christopher Sanchez,
who's eleven and four, struck out twelve in his six
and a third. Mets still first in the Nlies. Still
five and a half. Excuse me, Philly, still five and
a half over those Mets. Boy, wasn't that long ago
when somebody on this show kept saying, you know who's
got the best record in Major League?
Speaker 6 (34:32):
No, that's better.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
On the go all stringer from the wire, you get
the word out that we back up now. Nolan McLean
is the cy Young and MVP favorite. Were so turning
him into Skeens. You have no idea what we are
turning him into Skeens.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
You watch and right about October eleventh, his arm will
fall off.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
In Tedding.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
There's a lot of spin on that curve.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Detroit in ten innings beat Houston ten to one one
nothing excuse me. And in ten it was looking like
it was going to go well past that scoreless because
this picture's duel was superb Trek Scoogle of Detroit against
Hunter Brown of Houston, and it ends on a basis
loaded walk one nothing.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
Tigers Saint Louis won at Miami.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
Seven to four. Attendance seven thousand, six twelve. The Cubs
swept a double header from the Brewers six four and
then four to one, beating Brandon Woodriff, who had been
four to oh Cubs Kyle Tucker a few games off
now is batting average one ninety five since the start
of July. Yes, the Colts name Daniel Jones as they're
starting QB for the season. The Saints are due to
(35:39):
name their starter after the exhibition finale on Saturday. Rams
quarterback Matthew Stafford practiced again despite his bad back. Guard
John Wall retired from the NBA after eleven seasons. The
Pacers gave coach Rick Carlisle a contract extension, and among
the five WNBA games, Las Vegas over Atlanta seventy four
to seventy two. Asia Wilson thirty two points of the
(36:02):
seventy four Back to you, Thank.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
You, Steve.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
coming up next, Yes, a near record breaking night in
Major League Baseball for the Yankees. And coming up next,
the biggest story in Major League Baseball that you're not
paying attention to. That's next right here, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon. There is no more fun story to follow
right now in Major League Baseball than the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Oh yeah, right now.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Look, we told you a few weeks so if the
Yankees fall out of playoff contention, they will fire Aaron
Boone because likely that's going to happen at the.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
End of this year anyway.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But just to look at the last twenty four hours
in Yankee Land. The day started with Aaron Boone and
Aaron Udg with Boone and Judge that great country music
to him. With Boone and Judge at odds over Aaron
Judge playing the field again this year and what his
arm is going to be right because of his injury,
Aaron Boone said, I don't know, is his arm going
(37:12):
to be the same this year? Is still going to
be a big weapon because Judge has a great arm.
Aaron Judge's very upset about that, So I don't know
why he's saying that.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
It seemed pretty innocuous. It seemed like it was, Hey,
you want to make sure you're okay and playing center
field this year. We don't want to take you out
of the lineup. You're gonna win the MVP. And instead
Aaron Judge is like, Oh, I don't know why he
would say that. So now they're at odds. If this
doesn't tell you, Aaron Judge is circling the drain in
New York. Nothing Aaron Boone is circling the drain in
New York. Nothing else does he has done after this season,
(37:40):
after nine years with no title, not being as good
as they were even last year. Every day hearing how
bad the Yankees are fundamentally.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
How all the mistakes they make.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Players get tired of hearing about it, Fans get tired
of hearing about it. It's a thing, and so yeah,
Aaron Boone's gonna get fired. But then you have tonight
where the Yankees hit nine home runs against Tampa Bay,
nearly setting the record in Major League baseball history. Ten
is the record they at nine tonight in their thirteen
to three win over the Rays, And you realize this
(38:14):
is the most entertaining story in baseball. Forget about the
Padres and the Dodgers and everything else. The Mets are great.
They stink now they're good again. The Brewers are the
best team in baseball. The daily drama of the Yankees,
because the Yankees are the dictionary definition of one day
at a time, Like they are living one day knowing
(38:35):
it's all we can do just to make it to
the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
It's like the cop in the movie that says, man,
I got no long range plans. It's enough for me.
It's enough drama for me to get to the end
of the day. Like and when I get home at
night and I can rest my head on the pillow
and get an eight hours of sleep, that's a successful day.
That's life with the Yankees. Like every day they just
try to get through the day, to get through tomorrow. Hey,
(39:01):
did we win? Can we stack a couple of wins?
Can we stay in the wild card hunt? We're just trying.
It's all we can do to get through today. And
then we started out tomorrow again. This is the best,
most fun story to follow in baseball.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Just remember Danny Glover was only forty one years old
when he said, I'm too old for this blank and
legal weapon. Now, this guy was supposed to be fifty,
so he had the requisite years on the forest or
whatever else. But it is to say, day to day,
it's entertaining. You're now tied in the standings with the
Red Sox. You're looking up at the Blue Jays and
trying to navigate your way through. Now your help by
(39:36):
the fact that some of the other teams that you're
competing with in the wildcard race are falling apart. But
that doesn't matter, because it's all about the fish wrap,
the talking heads, and the fan reaction to each and
every inning, every outing. Rodan gives him a good start today,
go six innings, give you his thirteenth win of the year.
That's great, you got him. What else you got?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Carlos got through today? Man at nine home like, yeah,
but what do you got tomorrow? But Stanton hits two
home runs today? Great? He and Judge can't.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Both dh and you don't want it in the field.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Baseball would change the rules for they Hey, we need
two guys at day.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Well, we got a.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Lot of rules that are changing, so why not let's
throw that into the mixed while.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
We're at it.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
But all of that to say, you've got some of
your bats. And I'm not just talking from this Today's
you know barrage. It's like you've had guys waking up.
Stanton's had a pretty good bat the last couple of weeks,
Judge back and healthy error coming off of his il stint,
and you're starting to see him put together games but
(40:43):
getting back on the field. The fact that, you know whatever,
those back room conversations were started to be public because
Aaron Boone's been asked the question a bunch because he's
looking at the lineup. It's like, all right, if you
got to be D eight, So that means where he
got a liability out there in Stanton, how fast can
we switch up? And eventually you want to give an
answer because it's like our business. What do you think
(41:05):
of this? I don't know, Yeah, excellent work, their money right,
I mean, you can't do it. You gotta having a take.
You can't you can't just keep pushing it down the road.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
This, I mean, it is everything they can do just
to survive day to day like this is that this
is the best story in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
The season must seem so long for the Yankees. The
only thing we're.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Missing with it is I wish we had Ai big Stein.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
To comment after every game.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Coming up next, we get into the fifth anniversary of
a huge sports moment that still reverberates today.
Speaker 2 (41:39):

out this content for you every single day. Let me
just say this, if you had told me six weeks
(01:09):
ago that as a Mets fan, you're gonna be sweating
out Red's Angels mid August. I'd have laughed at your face.
Yet here we are, well, I told you weeks ago
there we're gonna suck.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Well, but that's vague, right, It's all come together to
this moment you're talking about on YouTube. If you're watching
on YouTube, you would see Jason's face. How should we
say consternation to put it in a nice bold term
as opposed to, uh, just generally ticked off.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I am not a fan of Kennley Jensen.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Right, no, no, no, because he had that great scoreless run
and all that, and then all of a sudden he
had the game where that he blew it against the Dodgers.
Comes back with a couple of scoreless innings the last
two times out this time, no, not so fast, Jans
and Jason.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's not good, man, wedding Jens.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Not good, that's good, right, No, not good, not good,
not good at least not pitching for me. But he
strikes out the first batter, and then and then he
hits a guy and then he will come on. Man.
The Angels had tied this game in the in the
bottom of the eighth inning with a home run. All right,
Jansen comes out in the ninth first batter out.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Nope.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Now Red's lead five to four is still batting runners
in scoring positions now facing a former teammate and Gavin
Lux who just rips one.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Down the right field.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah. Hey, I just want to say this. I don't
think it's Kenley Jansen's night. I just want to say that,
I don't think it's Jansen's night. They do throw out
a runner at the plate as Benson is thrown out
trying to score from first on the double down the line,
but it is still a six to four Reds lead.
Now in the top of the ninth inning.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
As Ellie ran up to and said, hey, Benson, what
the hell are you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I was up next. Yeah, what are you doing? Man?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
He just took the bat out of my hand. You
know the angels this Yeah, going to the bottom the
nine six fours with the leads over again. Man, I'm
sweating Red's angels. Man, that's how far I've fallen. I'm
sweating Red's angels.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Did you watch the degeneration of our guy here over
the last.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
This is how far I've fallen. I feel like, what's
the uh, what's the mark? Wahlberg the Basketball Diaries right
where he's basketball star. Then he gets, you know, hooked
on drugs, and like weeks and weeks later, he's in
the He's in the alley and Juliet Lewis season he goes.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Ah, look at you here. I feel like that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Hey man, I was riding high. Now I'm like a dude,
I'm in trouble. Now, man, I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble.
I was riding high. Now look where I am. I'm
sweating out Red's Angels, Wahlburg Basketball Diaries, Leo, Leo and
Wilburg and.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Bruno Kirby's ante. Yeah yeah, yeah, uh yeah, but I
remember you met Bruno Kirby.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Bas I remember about that? Is that said, wow, Leo's
a pretty good basketball player. I was pretty got a
couple behind the back passes and between his legs, and wow,
Leo's pretty good. It's not normal sweat. No, this is
this is stinky, this dirty, smelly sweat. This is I've
swet yet, Yeah, I mean sweating. Lot of you think
on this sweat this is yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, it's bad. It's not not great, Bob.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
It's because you're also rooting for the Angels, I know,
what you know is just really a bad way to
be the only team they usually play well against is
the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm not getting anything here.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Now they're coming up to play sport. I mean, you
won your game, so at least you got that guy.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I know, but still like the Angels had a chance
they tied the game, all right, right?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
No, no, you saw of those rings they got for
sweeping the Dodgers. That was the Freeway Series rings are
pretty old, those rings are yeah, yeah, it was pretty awesome.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I mean they hung an extra large banner, yeah, to
commemorate each of those wins.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I really think if they would, you would you really
be that surprised if you found out at some point
next year that your temporary batter, obviously because you know,
year to year. But the Angels hang a banner that
said twenty twenty five Freeway Series Champions with a six
and zero record on it and a giant picture of
a broom twenty twenty five. Oh no, it'd be they know,
it'd be the Angel logo and maybe you know, a big,
(04:58):
a big, a big picture of Joe Adele and a
tiny one of shoeo Tony and then.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
They do show giveaway Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, the
Chad Freeway Series Champions twenty. I would not be surprised
at all. I would milk that for all I could.
If I were the Angels, Angela do it. Yeah, no, exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Meanwhile, we could be this close and I'm doing the
Tom Looney and you can't see me, but I got
my fingers this close together to a Micah Parsons trade
from the Dallas Cowboys. ESPN NFL in Shot insider Adam
Schefter said earlier today on ESPN that he sees the
two sides headed towards a divorce. All right, Now, first
(05:43):
things first, you know someone's telling Adam Schefter.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
This, no, and if this is this is if this
is going to get done.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Jerry Jones is not leaking to Adam Schefter that we're
gonna signe. Don't worry, We're gonna sign him, right.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That to he lee. If that's again, if the.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Cowboys are leaking something positive, it would be positive.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It would be don't worry, We're gonna get it done.
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
This is one of or both sides understanding that, oh
maybe we bid off more than we could chew you
that the cowboys and Jerry Jones realize, oh, some guys
are okay, hanging back and losing the battle in the media,
knowing full well they get paid right, because that was
the big story when when the first when Micah Parsons
I no longer want to be here, it was advice
(06:29):
from other former players saying, hey, listen, let Jerry win
the battle in the public relations. Let him keep the
attention on. Do stuff, get it, get attention, which is
what Jerry likes, and you'll get paid right. It worked
with Zeke, it worked with Dak, It work with CD Lamb.
It's work with a bunch of guys. But eventually you're
gonna get to that new player, that new gen Z
player who's gonna say no, no, I'm not gonna do it,
(06:51):
and I'm not gonna You're not gonna take advantage of me.
We talked to Jason Cole and we had a great
point last hour that Jerry Jones could get you know,
they could lose draft picks. You know, you're not supposed
to talk to a player without his representation present, Jerry
Jones said. We talked to Micah Parsons and thought we
had a deal. Like all of that is illegal, Like
you can't. We talked about the time, like you can't
do that. Man. You could talk to a player, but
you can't sit there and talk about money. Right, that's
(07:13):
where the players got to get up and walk away.
But Michael part you can't do that.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
But that's the thing, right, And now we get into
the devil of the details. How much was in particulars
versus an overarching we need you here, we want you here. Yeah,
and smooth talking that way and that we don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
No, But yeah, the fact that he said I thought
we had a deal, that's the big thing. That's Jerry
Jones going all Joe Bluth, where Joe Bluth has always
admit way too much and get in trouble for schemes
on the rest of development, like Jerry Jones over the top.
But you didn't talk You didn't talk money with him
at all, Right, Jerry said, we're in the clear. Oh no,
I thought we had a deal. Now, don't don't say that, Jerry.
These are investigators. What are you doing all right now?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Jerry?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
When I say do you think you had a deal,
you say no, No money was ever discussed all right,
I got it all right now, Jerry. For the record,
at this oh I thought it was done although we
had an agreement and then apparently we didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Wait, let me stop the tape recorder, Jerry, I remember
what I said. You can't admit to that. Right. This
is a bad situation. And from MICHAEH.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Parsons to go to the point not where I'm gonna
sit out of practice, I'm gonna I'm gonna do something
that's a sit in that it doesn't show how much
I'm really upset. He said, I no longer want to
be here. And where Jerry Jones in the past, I
completely understand him thinking going through this, but the guys
all signed right, Eventually you're gonna run up against that guy,
(08:32):
and Micah Parsons is that guy. When when that's when
this story broke and Michah Parson said I no longer
want to be here. That should have been the moment
where Jerry Jones realized, oh, I played this all wrong,
because this is what stars do. Michael Parsons is smart.
This is not something that he didn't do without consulting
his agent, without what.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Do I do here?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
But when when stars want out they go nuclear. Right,
we talk about it in the NBA all the time.
Guys have to say they want out. This situation is
no longer tenable because that's how stars get traded.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's why James Harden has gotten traded. It's why Kevin
Durant has gotten traded. It's why Giannis has not gotten traded.
Because I don't want to say things are so bad.
It's why Joel Embiid has not gone trade. Well, I'm
not gonna say things are so bad.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
If you're a star, nobody's given him if they want.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
If you're a star and you don't say you want out,
teams are gonna keep you and find a way to
try to make it work, because hey, trying to get
a star is really difficult. So we're gonna make it.
We're gonna make it work. But if you say I
can't be here anymore, I want out, that forces a trade.
Jerry doesn't understand how serious of a situation that was.
When Michah Parsons said I want out. And here's all
(09:39):
the things that you did that that made that upset
me and got me to this point. And and look,
I keep going back to the fact that as much
as Jerry Jones has liked being the Cowboys, and certainly
from a business standpoint, there's been a tremendous success, which
is his real scoreboard since I have won a super
Bowl in thirty years's but he's got those super Bowl titles,
he's gonna be celebrate them. This is why I say
(10:02):
pretty sure the NFL has passed Jerry Jones by. Like
this moment with Micah Parsons is telling you that, Okay,
he no longer has the edge to run the team
the way he needs to where you can't say everything
he does, you have to try to clean up. Right
before they drafted Dak, they drafted Zeke. That was like
the end of Jerry Jones's run. That was the end
(10:23):
for Okay, Dak and Zeke. I gave them money. Awesome,
Ceedee Lamb got paid, but we knew Ceede Lamb was
gonna get paid. But this is now the point where, Okay, Jerry,
I think you're losing your fastball a little bit here,
and no longer are you on top of what it
means to run a team, and run an NFL team
to the point where you can even get the right
talented because now like you now, how many guys are
(10:44):
They used to spend money on on top heavy, too
many guys like the Niners the last couple of years.
Now it's not even that case anymore. It's like three
guys are making like fifty million dollars a year. Like
he has lost his fastball. And this is a bit
of evidence because yeah, we told you this was gonna
end in a divorce with with parts of the Cowboys.
Schefter's not putting that out there unless that's gonna happen
(11:05):
because he's not gonna be wrong and have to come
back and say, oh, guess what after eleventh hour negotiations,
this is gonna No, No, he's not gonna be wrong
something like that. So he's getting fed stuff that tells
you this is what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
No, it's good.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I mean, he it's not like he's ever been wrong before.
As I shift in my chair here, but we look
at where the cap is right. They spent money on Ferguson,
They've paid guys and for Jerry Jones, And you know,
we've used this a lot talking with about players through
the years, and you know that moving from your brilliance
(11:38):
in college to early success in the pros and then
having to adjust because the learning curve is different, right,
we're talking about with Anthony Richardson, We're talking about it
on all these different levels. Kyler Murray, insert your video
game jokes here and there. But like all it is,
if it's always that easy and you always get your
way to where you're the best athlete, you're the smartest
(11:58):
guy in the class or woman in the class, or
in business, you're able to lean and eventually get your way.
There's no impetus, there's nothing forcing you to change until
you finally hit that giant stumbling block. So when Micah
Parson says, I don't want to be here anymore, I
could see Jerry Jones. Maybe he came off the set
of Landman or taping an interview for that documentary that's
(12:21):
going out or whatever, and he said, boy, this kid
knows how to play this game. Doesn't mean yeah, and
it was amused by it, but still thinking, all right,
we're still you know, I could trade barbs. He's gonna
say his stuff and that it's eventually gonna work out,
and it still could like at some point he could
just realize, all right, what do we gotta pay this
guy and just be done with it because now we
(12:42):
have to go play the Eagles. Right, It's gotten you
through the entirety of your training camp, Michaeh. Parsons, And
I was only half kidding with that photo as we
talked with Jason Cole last hour, because he's a guy
that I genuinely think wants to find his happiness back
on a football field and he'd love to be out
(13:03):
there with his squad and is pissed that it's about
dollars and cents that he's having to fight like this,
thinking I've shown you on the field what I can
do that this would would resolve itself. And the fact
that we're still sitting here in the eleventh hour, and
again this goes back your team leaders, like we talked
about with Cincinnati, at some point, someone's gotta start applying
(13:25):
the pressure too. If we need this guy, if we're
gonna win, Jerry, if you want another Super Bowl win,
someone's got to say something. You've all got paid, you
all got fat and happy, Dak and CD and all
these other guys. It's time for you to come up
and talk for your guy.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
If Jerry Jones has to trade Mica parts I'll tell
you it's gonna it's gonna end differently than all the
other ones have. Again, there's no bigger sign the NFL
has passed Jerry Jones by than him losing a negotiation.
Because this is a negotiation and he had to wind up.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Trading the player. This is where again, this is where.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
This is why I say the NFL's passed Jerry Jones
by because that's where this is going. You're gonna lose
the best defensive player in the NFL.

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I take umbrage with the fact that I was described
as lonely.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, when you're.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
More angry than when you're root for a losing team,
generally that you get. The connotation is that you're lonely alone.
You know, no one says, hey, have you heard about
that loser with a great life and a lot of
friends and his team stinks? No, you really heard about
the lonesome loser beaten by the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Every time.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That's fair, Okay, loansome loser. The song wouldn't lie to you, No, no, no,
he'd lie to us through song.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Uh, we're gonna get deeper into the Yankees coming up
in a few minutes, because they nearly set an MLB
record tonight they beat the Rays thirteen to three, and
in this game where they're beating them thirteen to three
right now, bottom of the nighte thinning, there's two away.
The Yankees have hit nine home runs in this game tonight.
(17:26):
The record for most in the game all time is ten.
That was set a few years ago. So well, I
mean it is Yankee pitching. It is that My dad
would say, oh the bullpens out. You never know, we
could give up ten. But short of a ten run rally,
the MLB record of ten is safe. But the Yankees
nine home runs tonight in this big game over the race.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Does this get Aaron Boone off the hook for a day?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Hang on and the answer is no. No, The answer
is no. Today.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
After address questions about it being a minor league ballpark, Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
First question after the game, Matt, Aaron, Yeah, you guys
hit you guys should ten home runs tonight? Yeah, yeah,
it's a great well. I asked my question, Uh, obviously
this is your night tonight. How come you guys couldn't
hit eleven to set the record? You one go over
your head. I was in the middle of doing my
doing my New York compression. Horrible, it's happy when you're
from New York. I mean it's horrible. You know what,
(18:21):
You're horrible. Frostburg, how about that, You're horrible? D love
about that. We knew that, we knew all these.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Things, Adam.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Why couldn't you hit eleven? I think I picked underpants.
If if if Tory was managing, we would have hit eleven.
Tory was man if Girardi was managing the team, we
would have hit eleven. We didn't eleven. I don't Why
couldn't you hit eleven tonight? I think I think the
team is quite on. New Yorkers don't have low t
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
They quit on you, They quit on you know, they
do it the becoming a little more animated.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
No, no, see.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
See, that's the thing about New York adults when they
yell at you, at least judging in my experience with
a kid, is that when they really get like everybody
thinks they're all like like like the Michael Rapp, the
Danny I Yellow and Brad everybody jumped out no, but
sometimes it's, Hey, you know how disappointed I am in you?
So I'm just gonna say this because this is gonna
be a serious thing, right like that said this because
that was a big way like all our coaches whenever,
(19:11):
like our coaches weren't yet didn't yell as much in
football and baseball, but it was more of a hey,
you know, really, you know you disappointed me. You disappointed me.
I thought of you as a son, and now this
is what I get from you. Now I'm doing a
little more to Tony soprano, Christopher, I thought of you
as a son.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Gonna start talking about ducks and stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yeah, And Chicago was instill fear you might get hit
with a whistle, might grab your helmet and smash into
the guy next to you.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Steel chair to the head.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah exactly, Hey you hit this kid with a steel chair. Now,
I want to know who's gonna fix this chair because
it's got a big dent in it. And if my
mom goes to sit in it and she falls, guess
what I'm coming after? You with said chair, and there's
gonna be another dent in it, and there's gonna be
another one in your head, and you're gonna get the
(19:59):
needle because Mark Paul Gotsler is coming in here, and
he's even more upset than I am.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Mark Paul Gostler first, Jimmy switch Lee's the show, and
I was okay with that because, well, I liked the guy,
but I liked them a lot better than David Caruso.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
But now you get you bring in Ricky Schroeder.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
The last time I saw him was in the champ
and that was in like nineteen eighty four, like that
big mat and Silver Spoons.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You'll bring this guy in. Then you bring in Zach Morris,
come on that seventy for the chance.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, silver Spoons, hanging out with Alfonso Ribero.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Together, we're gonna find our way, you and I to get.
Didn't you always want to train running through your house
like that? Sure? Like that would have been good? Right?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
That was? That was me when I'm a real big
crush on Aaron grat No, Well I didn't, Wow, I
was eight years old. I'm like, I love eron Jason
the Faery. She's beautiful. Aaron Gray Buck Rogers. Of course,
Aaron Gray is beautiful. Seventy five years old?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Aaron Gray. Oh love, there you.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Go, so say, Aaron Glen is seventy five years old.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
No, no, no, well he will be at the end
of this year. He's going to age rap year.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
How do you feel, Alan, Well, it just turned fifty two,
but I feel eighty six because it your first button here.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
One year coaching the Jets takes me that way. Boy,
you're a lot great.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
It's like one of those President's pictures where look at
what the president looks like after four years of running
the country, and it's like, oh, look at Aaron Glenn
after one year with the Jets.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Who look how old you've become.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
The quarterback derby in Indianapolis has been settled today that
it's a final. Daniel Jones gets the gig over Anthony Richardson,
which we told you Daniel Jones was going to win
the job, because clearly, and in a really weird way,
it's a matter of trust. The Colts know they can
trust Daniel Jones to run the offense, to move the
(21:50):
team up and down the field. They don't know that
they can do that with Anthony Richardson, who's still as
well as he's played in camp this year, and everybody
you know, all the insiders, all the report, all this say, listen,
it was a pretty even competition. The fact that it's
an even competition and still Daniel Jones wins tells you
where the Colts are at with Anthony Richardson. They couldn't
(22:11):
trust him to run the team. And now you have
Anthony Richardson's agent saying, I don't know what his future
is in Indianapolis. Yeah, it's gonna be someplace else. So
potentially if Daniel Jones gets hurt and Anthony richard goes
back and he gets to play, but really, Richardson is
done in Indianapolis and now he's gonna hope to get
donalded at some point where I'm going to bounce around
as a backup, but maybe I get enough reps at
(22:32):
some point where someone can give me a job as
a quarterback. Right, we told you it's going to happen
to Trey Lance, who is one of the best stories
in all of training camp this year. How much easy
he has really become a sought after player in Chargers camp. Look,
Jim Harball, whatever you want to say about his offensive system.
It is very quarterback friendly. Quarterbacks are in the position
to succeed. Trey Lance has played extremely well in a
(22:55):
couple of years. In the next few years, he'll get
donald it.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
He'll be hell.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Team will look back and say, you know, he is
number three overall pick for a reason. Look at him
in hardball system. He can be our bridge quarterback. He
can get genoed, he can get darnolded. It will happen
because when you're drafted that high, someone will always come
back to you. The same thing with Anthony Richardson, someone
will come back to him. It's just now, we know
you're young. But man, I'll tell you what it's gonna
be a couple of years and then look forward to
(23:19):
those story lines of Anthony Richardson is still younger then
seven of the eight quarterbacks picked in this draft.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
He's gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Go somewhere, rehabilitate his image, prove that he can stay
on the field, that he can run a team. Maybe
it's going to the CFL, whatever it is. He needs reps.
He needs to play because it's gonna be a couple
of years for him, barring injury. Here because he's done
in Indianapolis, but his legacy is going to be more
than just Anthony Richardson didn't work in Indianapolis. Richardson had
(23:47):
all kinds of talent and he didn't play in a
lot of games in college. And you look at where
he's at right now. Okay, so thirteen games a Florida
and couldn't stay on the field as a rookie in
the NFL last year, couldn't stay on the field. Now
he loses the job Daniel Jones. Teams are now going
to say, you know what, red flag. We're gonna go
back to the maybe not quite the old Bill Parcells
theory of a guy's got to start forty games in
(24:09):
college and I'll look for him. But quarterbacks who don't
have the resume of starting at least two seasons in
college football, teams are gonna shy away from that because
they're not going to want to spend a first round
pick or a high first round pick for a player who, well,
hopefully he can pick things up. Because the thing is,
(24:29):
you can't learn to play quarterback in the NFL. And
that's the Anthony Richardson thing is he's got to learn
how to play quarterback in the NFL because he didn't
have enough reps before. And guess what, you can't do that.
So now unless you have that, if you have a
couple of years behind you, okay, that's great. Yeah, we'll
take you here high in the draft. We'd love everything
about you, but the raw talent, minimal amount of starts
(24:50):
in college. These guys are gonna get underdrafted now and
it's gonna be Yeah, we like you, but you're more
of a third round pick than top five of the
draft because you're someone needs to come in, learn the system,
get reps, and maybe some point we see you play.
And conversely, from the player's perspective, maybe these guys stay
in college a little bit longer because now they can
(25:11):
get more money. With nil they can make more money
than potentially they'd make in the NFL as a third
round pick. Hey, I could make seven million. Do you
think Quentin viewers wouldn't do that decision? Again, boy, I'm
trying to hold on as a number three quarterback in Miami.
I could have made eight million dollars going someplace else
for my senior year in college because Arch Manning's pushing
me out. But I could hit the transfer portal and
made a lot of money nil wise, like now, at
(25:31):
least it's good for players where they have that decision
to stay to get more opportunities.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
But guys like.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
This, the raw guys coming out with that a lot
NFL teams are gonna say, yeah, sorry, we're gonna back
away from you. And you're now more a curiosity in
a project than you are a guy we can hand
our franchise to.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, the nil and whatever it becomes. It's the unintended consequence.
In theory, you're gonna get better quarterbacks coming into the league,
more seasoned guys that have seen more reps, more plays.
With Anthony Richards and we had that one great month
you started fasting a Heisman trophy out of tinfoil when
we were watching him on one of those late night games.
So I mean, you were jacked up, and then you
(26:07):
get by on all that athletic ability. That's it, right,
you can do that. But I mean, look at look
at just the straight numbers. Right. We've talked a lot
about Dylan Gabriel and should or Sanders. Should or Sanders
contract four years, four point six million dollars. He's making
far more than that.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
One more year in college, right, I mean, just go
on down the line.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
So there's gonna be quarterbacks that take all of these
as learning experience and say, well, and that's why the
arch manning thing is interesting, because I mean, they have
money like that that's already there, and then it just
becomes a all right, how far along are you in
this particular case. You know, Daniel Jones is is not
by any means the most accomplished former first round pick.
(26:49):
Had that first season where he's shown a bit, not
gaudy numbers, but made plays, made plays with his legs.
But another guy who's been hurt a lot. So it's
navigating through that. I saw a lot coming out after
this decision of well they're clearly tanking, like no, then
you play Richardson in his sub fifty percent completion right now.
(27:10):
Unfortunately he got hurt in twenty twenty three, but that's
sub fifty completion right out there, to the test, just
going we're just throwing you out there. Sorry, rest of
you guys, Hey, it's just growing pains with the rest
of you. But I mean, he got hurt in his
rookie eear mood have never known. I mean, because he
flashed a couple of plays where like, okay, with his legs,
made a couple of big throws. We know he's got
a canon of an arm all of those things, but
(27:33):
you got to be able to hit the basics. Yeah,
and that he hasn't been able to do. Can't stay
on the field. Oh and asking out of a game.
Don't tell me that that doesn't have long legs to it.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh, that was the that you know what I mean,
Like you'll nail in the coffin of we have to
have another guy in here. That got Daniel Jones in
That was we can't go for. They couldn't trust that
Anthony Richardson was going to be the guy anymore, even
that he knew what it took to be a quarterback,
which I mean, you can't learn how to play quarter
back in the NFL. And that's what Anthony Richardson thought
he could do because he's a physical freak. In the
(28:04):
talent that book you watch me see, the talent is immense,
But you can't learn to play.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
The position in the league. You can't do that.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, Ballard Stiken, you know, all right, we're gonna bring
him in and he's gonna learn fast. Trial by fire
and it's gonna work. Well, it didn't in any way,
shape or form. It was the exact opposite of everything
they've been doing. I believe Daniel Jones is quarterback eleven
since Andrew Luck walked away, and he's now talking about
regret and whatever else.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
What he did to his teammates. That's a whole other
thing is he's up at Stanford.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
But with with Anthony Richardson, that was the antithesis of
everything they'd done in the post Andrew Luck. Right, it
was one old guy after the next bandaged. All right,
now let's get the youngest guy we could possibly the
greenest guy ever.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Oh crap, that didn't work either.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Well, you know the thing is that I get falling
for that because it's it's just you think this guy
is gonna take over the league, right, you think you
see Anthony Richardson and you think this guy's Cam Newton.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And history and everything that he's done that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, he's gonna come in and the physical talent he
has and we and how big as he is and
how fast he's gonna take over there and they're seeing
him and seeing that's Cam Newton, man who came in
and he was a say but instead you know, but
Cam Newton played a little bit more football and than
Anthony Richardson did and stayed healthy and that and that's
a that's a big thing. Like once he lost all
(29:24):
of his rookie year to injury, basically with two weeks,
you know, you could see the talent level that he
had where it's where a typical game for the Colts was, hey,
through three quarters, they're losing seventeen nothing, but then in
in eight minutes, Anthony Richardson has a touchdown run and
a touchdown pass and now something they're trying to pull
it out at the end of the game. Like that's
the that's the talent level. So you knew what was there.
(29:46):
You knew it was there. But when you lose so
much time, really you're like Trey Lance, you're like one
of You're like one of these quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That dude, you just you need to you need to play,
You need to come out and do it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
And and for Trey Lance to see a number three
overall that the forty nine ers invested in him, and
you saw they got lucky with brock Purty. But obviously
it was a really difficult path forward. Knowing how much
do we stay with Trey Lance? Do we go to
Jimmy Garoppolo? Do we go back to Trey Lance? Jimmy,
do we go to brock Purty? Do we stick with
Trey Lance? And now the Colt's doing the same thing,
(30:17):
like that's NFL teams are they said, okay, that that
is a non starter for us anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's an absolute nonche So now you have to pick
a lane.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
You've got enough talent and you've got a division that
if it all breaks right, that you can actually have
something come together and make it work. And Daniel Jones
doesn't need to be great, just needs to be efficient
and complete more than fifty percent of his mess tell
me how to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. But guy who's been called the Daniel
Jones of.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Fox Sports Radio as good as a kid, his nickname
was Stevie Dimes and Steve the Sager.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
That's about what I hearn now, so I've kept the nickname.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
Major League Baseball, everything is now final, including that Yankee game.
A long night for Tampa Bay at home. You see
that there was a rain delay at the start. When
they finally got going. The Yankees in the top of
the first hit three straight homers, Aaron Judge with his
fortieth of the season, eventually thirteen to three. The final
for New York, Carlos Rodan thirteen and seven, got the victory.
(31:13):
The story here the long balls. The Yankees in the
nine innings hit nine home runs. They hit seven just
in the first four innings of this one. Cody Bellinger
had four hits in the game, including two home runs.
Turns out that the Toronto team of nineteen eighty seven
had a ten home run game that is the record.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
But the Yankees hit me got so I.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Gotta be George bell right, Jesse Barfield.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Ernie Witt hit three there.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Wed had three home runs in a game.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
Wow Wow, Treed McGriff, Lloyd Moseby, et cetera. There were
amazingly nine home runs in a Yankee game this year.
In late March, they won a game twenty to nine
against Milwaukee, So they've hit nine in a game twice
in the same season. The only other time a team
(32:01):
has hit exactly nine home runs in a game, Aaron
Boone hit one of them for the Reds in a
nineteen ninety nine win at Philadelphia when the Reds won
twenty two to three that game. Tonight's final Yankees thirteen
to three at Tampa Bay sho Hee, Otania. The Dodgers
hit his forty fourth homer of the season. The Dodgers
eleven to four winners at Colorado. The Dodgers first in
(32:23):
the NL West, still two games over the Padres. They'll
be in San Diego this weekend that includes a Saturday
night game on FS one. The Padres ended a four
game losing streak with a home win over San Francisco
five to one. Nick Pavetta, thirteen and four got the win.
Is he l two point eight one. He had ten
strikeouts in six innings. Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill was out
(32:44):
again with a bad ankle. The Reds are still a
game out of the last NL wildcard behind the Mets.
Each team won Cincinnati with two runs in the top
of the ninth one in Anaheim, beating Angels closer Kenley
Jansen six to four. The red starter Hunter Green At
twelve strikeouts in six and a third inning no decision.
Arizona ended a four game losing streak edge in Cleveland
(33:05):
six to five. Kansas City won it's fifth straight, five
to two over Texas. Ranger pitcher Jacob de Gram's start
will be skipped on Wednesday due to shoulder fatigue. A's
one six to three at Minnesota. Atlanta was down ten
to four to the White Sox after six innings, but
still beat him eleven to ten. The White Sox record
now forty five and eighty one. Baltimore won in eleven
(33:26):
innings at Boston for to three, as the Red Sox
offense with runners in scoring position went oh for thirteen.
A reminder, Fox TV has baseball this Thursday night Boston
at the Yankees. For most of the country, Toronto a
seven to three winner at Pittsburgh Blue Jays. First base
from Vladimir Guerrero was out with hamstring inflammation. The win
to Max Scherzer six innings, just one run alout. Matt's
(33:48):
catcher Francisco Alvarez goes on the injured list with a
spring thumb. Tonight, the Mets hit four homers in an
eight to one win at Washington. Winning pitcher David Peterson
ten strikeouts in his eight innings. Phi Delfia beat Seattle
six to four. Bryce Miller went five innings for the
Mariners just off the injured list. No decision, but J
t Rail Movedo on the bottom of the eighth hit
a two run shot.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
That was the difference.
Speaker 7 (34:10):
Kyle Schwarber with an early forty fourth home run of
the season and the starter for the Phils tonight, Christopher Sanchez,
who's eleven and four, struck out twelve in his six
and a third. Mets still first in the Nlies. Still
five and a half. Excuse me, Philly, still five and
a half over those Mets. Boy, wasn't that long ago
when somebody on this show kept saying, you know who's
got the best record in Major League?
Speaker 6 (34:32):
No, that's better.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
On the go all stringer from the wire, you get
the word out that we back up now. Nolan McLean
is the cy Young and MVP favorite. Were so turning
him into Skeens. You have no idea what we are
turning him into Skeens.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
You watch and right about October eleventh, his arm will
fall off.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
In Tedding.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
There's a lot of spin on that curve.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Detroit in ten innings beat Houston ten to one one
nothing excuse me. And in ten it was looking like
it was going to go well past that scoreless because
this picture's duel was superb Trek Scoogle of Detroit against
Hunter Brown of Houston, and it ends on a basis
loaded walk one nothing.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
Tigers Saint Louis won at Miami.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
Seven to four. Attendance seven thousand, six twelve. The Cubs
swept a double header from the Brewers six four and
then four to one, beating Brandon Woodriff, who had been
four to oh Cubs Kyle Tucker a few games off
now is batting average one ninety five since the start
of July. Yes, the Colts name Daniel Jones as they're
starting QB for the season. The Saints are due to
(35:39):
name their starter after the exhibition finale on Saturday. Rams
quarterback Matthew Stafford practiced again despite his bad back. Guard
John Wall retired from the NBA after eleven seasons. The
Pacers gave coach Rick Carlisle a contract extension, and among
the five WNBA games, Las Vegas over Atlanta seventy four
to seventy two. Asia Wilson thirty two points of the
(36:02):
seventy four Back to you, Thank.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
You, Steve.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
coming up next, Yes, a near record breaking night in
Major League Baseball for the Yankees. And coming up next,
the biggest story in Major League Baseball that you're not
paying attention to. That's next right here, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon. There is no more fun story to follow
right now in Major League Baseball than the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Oh yeah, right now.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Look, we told you a few weeks so if the
Yankees fall out of playoff contention, they will fire Aaron
Boone because likely that's going to happen at the.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
End of this year anyway.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But just to look at the last twenty four hours
in Yankee Land. The day started with Aaron Boone and
Aaron Udg with Boone and Judge that great country music
to him. With Boone and Judge at odds over Aaron
Judge playing the field again this year and what his
arm is going to be right because of his injury,
Aaron Boone said, I don't know, is his arm going
(37:12):
to be the same this year? Is still going to
be a big weapon because Judge has a great arm.
Aaron Judge's very upset about that, So I don't know
why he's saying that.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
It seemed pretty innocuous. It seemed like it was, Hey,
you want to make sure you're okay and playing center
field this year. We don't want to take you out
of the lineup. You're gonna win the MVP. And instead
Aaron Judge is like, Oh, I don't know why he
would say that. So now they're at odds. If this
doesn't tell you, Aaron Judge is circling the drain in
New York. Nothing Aaron Boone is circling the drain in
New York. Nothing else does he has done after this season,
(37:40):
after nine years with no title, not being as good
as they were even last year. Every day hearing how
bad the Yankees are fundamentally.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
How all the mistakes they make.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Players get tired of hearing about it, Fans get tired
of hearing about it. It's a thing, and so yeah,
Aaron Boone's gonna get fired. But then you have tonight
where the Yankees hit nine home runs against Tampa Bay,
nearly setting the record in Major League baseball history. Ten
is the record they at nine tonight in their thirteen
to three win over the Rays, And you realize this
(38:14):
is the most entertaining story in baseball. Forget about the
Padres and the Dodgers and everything else. The Mets are great.
They stink now they're good again. The Brewers are the
best team in baseball. The daily drama of the Yankees,
because the Yankees are the dictionary definition of one day
at a time, Like they are living one day knowing
(38:35):
it's all we can do just to make it to
the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
It's like the cop in the movie that says, man,
I got no long range plans. It's enough for me.
It's enough drama for me to get to the end
of the day. Like and when I get home at
night and I can rest my head on the pillow
and get an eight hours of sleep, that's a successful day.
That's life with the Yankees. Like every day they just
try to get through the day, to get through tomorrow. Hey,
(39:01):
did we win? Can we stack a couple of wins?
Can we stay in the wild card hunt? We're just trying.
It's all we can do to get through today. And
then we started out tomorrow again. This is the best,
most fun story to follow in baseball.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Just remember Danny Glover was only forty one years old
when he said, I'm too old for this blank and
legal weapon. Now, this guy was supposed to be fifty,
so he had the requisite years on the forest or
whatever else. But it is to say, day to day,
it's entertaining. You're now tied in the standings with the
Red Sox. You're looking up at the Blue Jays and
trying to navigate your way through. Now your help by
(39:36):
the fact that some of the other teams that you're
competing with in the wildcard race are falling apart. But
that doesn't matter, because it's all about the fish wrap,
the talking heads, and the fan reaction to each and
every inning, every outing. Rodan gives him a good start today,
go six innings, give you his thirteenth win of the year.
That's great, you got him. What else you got?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Carlos got through today? Man at nine home like, yeah,
but what do you got tomorrow? But Stanton hits two
home runs today? Great? He and Judge can't.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Both dh and you don't want it in the field.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Baseball would change the rules for they Hey, we need
two guys at day.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Well, we got a.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Lot of rules that are changing, so why not let's
throw that into the mixed while.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
We're at it.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
But all of that to say, you've got some of
your bats. And I'm not just talking from this Today's
you know barrage. It's like you've had guys waking up.
Stanton's had a pretty good bat the last couple of weeks,
Judge back and healthy error coming off of his il stint,
and you're starting to see him put together games but
(40:43):
getting back on the field. The fact that, you know whatever,
those back room conversations were started to be public because
Aaron Boone's been asked the question a bunch because he's
looking at the lineup. It's like, all right, if you
got to be D eight, So that means where he
got a liability out there in Stanton, how fast can
we switch up? And eventually you want to give an
answer because it's like our business. What do you think
(41:05):
of this? I don't know, Yeah, excellent work, their money right,
I mean, you can't do it. You gotta having a take.
You can't you can't just keep pushing it down the road.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
This, I mean, it is everything they can do just
to survive day to day like this is that this
is the best story in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
The season must seem so long for the Yankees. The
only thing we're.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Missing with it is I wish we had Ai big Stein.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
To comment after every game.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Coming up next, we get into the fifth anniversary of
a huge sports moment that still reverberates today.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
That's next, Jason and Mike Fox
