All the white sports writers used to say that to me.
They'd go like, oh, you know in the press box,
all you going to the NABJ. How come we can't

you guys have one every day in the press box.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You don't need to go anywhere. Everybody in the press box.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
Is what do you need to go anywhere to have
a conversation about every now and again, I have to say,
you know, there was a reason at some point when
all these things were created created the BET network or
Latin music were like because people weren't getting was in it,
so it didn't stay.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I had to start for a reason.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
We got a busy hour coming up, no doubt about it.
And uh, Rob g jump in and tell us what's
happened in Big D in Dallas where I was.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Uh, because I did gop pressure there? Which could you
feel the please sign?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Micah? I did feel that.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I did not feel that, you know, there was of
course some cowboys talk, but the Rangers have turned their
season around, so people were excited about baseball when I
was there.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Rob, do you where you got them? The Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
It's not looking good if you're a fan of Big
D because.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That would be okay.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Now you're a fan of this is I don't even
know who you are face big time. This is crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I'm talking about the Dallas Cowboy Okay, all right, geez Louise.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
But uh, it's not looking good.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
Right.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Michael Parsons, as we know, is still waiting for a
new contract. There's been a bizarre, to put it lightly,
war of words going on in the media between Gary
Jones and Stephen Jones and Michael Parsons, and you know
who should we believe? YadA YadA Yadam Well. According to
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, the two sides are quote
further away from a deal in late July heading into
(05:05):
August than they were in late March heading into April.
He adds, the two sides have gone backwards, not forwards.
I don't think they're speaking very much these days. If
at all, the negotiation, when it was a negotiation, has
gone sideways. It's not even a negotiation right now. There's
really no conversation about getting a deal done. Rob, what's
(05:30):
going on in Dallas? What are you gonna do right now?
If you're if you're Jerry Jones, if I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Jerry Jones for real, and we know he normally caves,
He goes through this whole process.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
We've seen him cave a million times.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
For once, Jerry does this on this on he for once, Jerry,
I want you to grow a pair and do something
different for a change. Do not roll over and wind
up paying it. You've already done it to two guys, right.
Dak Prescott got ridiculous money. Cede Lamb got ridiculous money,
(06:04):
and you're gonna make the same mistake and give a
pass rusher right, forty three million dollars. That is that
where we are Because let me tell you, Jerry, you
didn't You didn't win the championship last year with Micah,
so you couldnot win the championship next year without them.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I mean, like, what's the difference.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And if I'm the Dallas Cowboys and I'm Jerry Jones
and I really look at this, honestly, the Cowboys have
more holes in the golf course. Plug up some of
these holes and trade Micah Parsons and his podcast to
be named later and go get you three pieces three
(06:41):
you know, like picks, you'll be able to cash. And
this guy's a primo player and in order to get
you have to give. So you're giving up somebody. You're
not saying you're giving them up because he can't play.
That's not the issue. It's the money that it's gonna
cost you, and you have so many other situations. Is
the last time I saw Michael Parsons in a meaningful
(07:03):
game the Green Bay Packers were running up and down
upside their head. You remember that embarrassing one of the
worst losses we've ever seen in the Cowboys. In the postseason,
Michael Parsons blamed everybody else. He was on the field.
He was I don't know, plus minus in the NFL.
He was probably a minus forty that game. I mean,
(07:23):
it was terrible. I think the time has come. I
get it. He's a great player. Sometimes you need to
make a change in what you're doing.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Jerry.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You've been doing the same thing for more than three decades.
It hasn't worked. You always cave and pay all these guys,
and has it really worked. Michael Parsons could cure so
many situations for the Cowboys after you've already overpaid two
(07:57):
guys that you can't do anything about it. Now, I
would trade Michael Parsons.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You talking about that rolling over. You can't teach an
old dog new tricks. This is what Jerry does. Jerry
loves this. We're talking about Micah, We're talking about CD.
We were talking about Dak long extended times. Are you
gonna sign him?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Are you not?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
As the biggest conversation they win the offseason because nothing
else is really happening, and yet we're still talking about
the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
He absolutely is gonna cave.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
He's gonna roll over like the Pillsbury dough boy's gonna
touch the stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
That's right. He absolutely is gonna roll over. This is
what he does. He's done his whole career, but he's
gonna roll over.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
And in this case, I get it because of all
the other guys he rolled over for. Michael Parsons is
his best player. He's better than DAK, he's better than CD,
He's better than any other guy. He's better than spending
the block for Ezekiel Elliott like they did last season.
So to me, Michael Parsons, at least one thing I
can the tent pole. I can say plant that there.
We know that's gonna be great. He came back after
(08:54):
missing four games last You're still get twelve plus sacks.
I mean, he's incredible. But they were bad. Their defense
so bad. But they were missing a lot of guy.
Digs was out, DeMarcus Lawrence was out. Obviously he's gone now,
but Mike is out. So you had a budget were
missing in the postseason, though you had a missing that
home player. They just got smacked flat out.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Period.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Listen, I ain't gonna be sent up here defending the Cowboys.
That's not what I'm gonna do. But what I am
gonna say fifty piece on them. I mean, think about that.
Why are you trying to trigger people right now? I'm
just saying, okay, I'm talking about the Cowboys. The Cowboys
absolutely have a guy that they can plant the flag
and say, we know what he is, we know what
he brings. I'm not trading that guy. Shoot, I'll mess
around if you what have you won with him? I'm
(09:33):
just asking you. He's twenty four six years old. I mean,
but you My point is, I get it. I'm not
that that is not the issue. It's what are you
trying to win? Are you going to hamstring yourself by
paying three guys so much money that you can't win?
Here's that that's what that's that's having him?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
What does that mean? Here's why you're going to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Because they're gonna say, before the injuries of last season,
they were twelve five for three years in a row.
So they're gonna say, we've been one of the best
teams on record the three seasons before last season. Then
the injury, so they're gonna say, if everybody's back and
no one's you know, obviously injuries is a part of
the game. But if our main guys aren't injured, Dak
gets injured, uh, Mike is injured, they kind of just.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I don't I don't have I don't have the count away.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
And that's what But I'm saying, that's what Jerry Jones
is selling himself. He's selling himself. We went comprised when
everybody's up, we're one of the best seams. We're twelve
and five, twelve and five, twelve and five last year
blowing up. Everybody's out, of quarterbacks out, Michael's out. That
don't count washing, clean slate. Here we go. And that's
what he's selling the last thirty years. Well, now that's
a whole. If you really want to say don't roll
(10:40):
over and don't cower, it's to him.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
You will say.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
You will say, give the power for one somebody else,
But he would say, Kelvin Washington, let me tell you something.
Nobody knows his job better than me. To the tune,
if you not winning in thirty years, stop it. Jerry
Jones ain't changing. This is who he is, and the
man is in his eighties. You ain't changing. You in
your sixties, you think he changed it in his eighties.
That man ain't changing. Michael Parson is about to get
(11:04):
paid now. The other conversation is a lesson learn from Michael,
who's probably gonna get another two deals out of his career.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
He's so young, two big deals. This is a lesson
to learn for him.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Stop talking about who he was and where you want
to be before you need to, especially when you're this
caliber player talking about big time money.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Remember, ours want to be a cowboy. I don't care
if it get it done, whatever it takes.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I don't care if it's not about the money for
me and it's agent, Like, hey, bro, let me agent.
Because now you're in this weird situation where Michah was
all in. Remember a few months ago. Now Micah's not talking.
Now it seems personal. Now, this seems like there's some
riff and some beef. And this is why I know
you like the cowboys. Let the business side be the
business side, because you're putting all this in and caping
(11:45):
for the cowboys when they're not caping for you right now.
But they'll get this theme done. Jerry Jones likes to
have the best guys.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah, but it hasn't worked out.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Now when you've overpaid, and that's my issue, what is
your real goal?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Is your real goal trying to win a Super Bowl? Well, okay,
I don't know that it's ever fully been a well,
but but.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
My point is to pay him that kind of money
ham strings you from doing that, the same way that
a couple of years ago when when they re signed
as Ezekiel elliott As, they're running back because they didn't
have any money.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
And they just threw there. They could have had Derrick Henry,
but they didn't have the money.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
But that's what I'm saying, if you had the money,
this is my point is that if you do this,
you're gonna be again the other pieces that you need
bargain basement and you're doing adding people based on just
money and not paying other people because you're so hamstrung,
you know what I mean with with.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
All these deals, three deals of this caliber hamstrings you.
It just doesn't make any sense to me. And I
get how great hero.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I think he likes subconsciously the biggest the businessman in
him likes that when you have to say the highest
paid quarterback, he's a cowboy. That that makes it's no
sense when you're not winning. I know, but this is
Jerry Jones, and Jerry Jones wants to win. I don't
think he doesn't want to, but I think he wants
to win and also do it his way. And I
think Jerry Jones wants to be also winning and also
(13:11):
be winning the headlines. So if we can have a
perfect scenario, we go twelve and five, win all the headlines.
I'm winning everything. I look great. My stadium's big. I
got the highest paid player defensively, I got the highest
paid quarterback. It's all under the star. We all got
the Cowboys start on helmets. I think Jerry Jones loved it.
I think he wants to win games when the show,
win the headlines.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I think he wants to win because he didn't win
since he took over.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's been thirty years.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Like, seriously, so you keep doing the same thing, why
don't you try something different?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
But that shows my point he wants to just you know,
I don't think his own way.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I don't think he knows that what he's doing. I
really don't, as much as he'll tell you. And I
know they've drafted, well I'm gonna get fired. Well he'd
have known this radio station. Don't get fired.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I'm just saying, does he on the station?
Speaker 8 (13:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I think we're good and they were safe. You know,
he'd be firing radio people who say something.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I get it. Whatever happened to Bob? Yeah?

Fox Sports Radio. It is the Odd Couple. Rob Parker

you give us some details. He got Yeah, just said
he came out of the game in the fourth ning.
He threw six straight balls, two wild pitches. Ye, and
(16:29):
left with the trainer. So some yeah, something good about that.
Martin Wisse hopefully have an up date for that. With
that job a little bit foul or fair with Jr.
Gambling about seven minutes or so, we have some fuss.
Speaking of MB we'll do some more mob stuff with him.
That'll be a good time. As always, aching and e
stiff back joints not cooperating. Some days your body's just
like nope. And on those days, luckily there's a leave
(16:51):
with just one pill Ali provides up to twelve hours
of pain relief, so you can keep moving. Use as directed,
all right, Just taking a couple of calls eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox Jerry Jones Michael Parsons, this
has gotten ugly in Dallas. Started off where I told
you a few months ago, like, oh man, I'll do
whatever it takes. I want to stay here. Well, you
got to remember it's the business end of this. You
(17:11):
say trade him, I say, no way, I'm trading him.
He's too good, too young. What say you? Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox who we got Soaring in Tucson.
You're in the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What's up?
Speaker 11 (17:23):
Soaring? What's up? Guys?
Speaker 8 (17:25):
Great to listen to your show, like always look, let
me let me play painted like this. In my opinion,
if Michaeh Parsons was probably on thirty twenty eight to
thirty of the other NFL teams, we wouldn't be having
this conversation. I think Michaeh Parsons would be playing training
camp and another team because I think they would have
traded him. He has a lot of value behind him.
(17:48):
But look, guess what, Jerry Jones.
Speaker 12 (17:51):
He's you said it right now before the commercial break,
eighty years old. He's in his eighties. You're not going
to change anything. The Cowboys haven't changed any and that's
why he's gonna get paid. It's gonna happen again because
there's that loyalty factor. And yet it's not gonna work
because Micah Parsons is providing what He's only one guy.
(18:12):
You need to rebuild the team. And I think that
it's a Cowboys problem and it's gonna stay a Cowboys problem.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
As long as Jerry Jones.
Speaker 12 (18:18):
Jerry Jones is running the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well then just call it a problem because he's gonna
go to his grave running things over there for sure.
I mean, at this point, if you haven't listen, we
all have things about us that you realize. All right,
I gotta change this a little bit, right, I gotta
tied it up.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Whether I eat better, I gotta, you know, speak nicer
to my girlfriend and my wife, or I gotta, you know,
leave out the house earlier, whatever the things in life
you're like, I gotta work on some points.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
You change it. Jerry ain't changed.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And Robbie told us I don't feel that anybody can
do the job better than me.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
No one's more qualified.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
All anybody has to say is you haven't won in
thirty seven. You haven't even been to the conference finals,
like like the NFC.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Go ahead, I'm waiting on your next line. Since Moby
Dick was a dupping not well, then your next line.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Even the Lions made it, Even the Lions have made
it to the conference championship.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
My god, as a Lions fan, I even have to say,
come on, Cowboys tepe game right, we didn't need it.
This is the first time in my life we got
expectation to make because at.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
One time, like the Lions not being there was like
par for the course.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Right now it's actually expected. Lions losing the playoffs, You're like, man,
they ain't do good enough. They lost in the playoffs,
like the Lions, all right, we'll take that.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Will take more
of your calls on Jerry Jones. Now Boys situation, they
not doing it.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
And the only thing so the only thing I think
there is a little bit of maybe you can give
a foot to the Cowboys is that they we only
hear the side or we only talk about this side
of the like why wouldn't you sign player X right
off the bat? There is element with like ceed lamb,
maybe you on, hold on, hold on, let me see
(19:50):
all the deals getting going going on right now, let
me see all the deals out there so I can
find out who getting paid, so I can be the
last guy get paid because the last guy is gonna
get the most money typically, So there may be elemented
but I think Jerry Jones no gootting well what's coming,
and he just chooses not to jump ahead of it.
And that's what I just don't get from him, is
why he doesn't take advantage of well.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
But also my thing only is that you know you
have to give to get like this, this is a chance.
You talk about it, his age, what he's been able
to do, you having won with him. I get it,
you have to replace him and all that. But if
I could get three players or number ones and a
current player from another team and let them worry about
(20:31):
paying forty three million dollars a year, you got a
quarterback making sixty I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
That was the one.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
To me, that's sign him. Put your team and your
chances of winning in peril. That that's the problem. It's
not that you don't want them. Yeah, I would have
wanted them for twenty nine million, but it's forty three Now.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Now, well, what's your wiggle.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Rum got an update for you guys. This was earlier today.
Ian Rappaport rap Sheet on Twitter told Dan Patrick that
in fact, Michael Parsons is waiting now for Aiden Hutchinson
to sign a new contract and that's what's happening since
he's gonna get the even more money.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Than what he was talking about, and that's what everybody's doing.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
So it's almost like he's sticking it to Jerry for
not getting it done early, Like, all right, well you
didn't want to pay me four months ago. The price
went up and it's gonna keep going up because I'm
not gonna sign anything until I'm the last guy left.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
And what did I tell y'all?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I told you then with him putting it out there,
putting his business out there, I want to be here,
I want to stay. It ain't all about the money,
and Jerry had a chance take full advantage of that.
I was mad that Michael said that, But if you're
Jerry Jones, you take full advantage of that at the time.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But that's not but that's not Jerry like like you
you're saying. And again, teacher old. So even if he
said that, he wasn't gonna change. He's done this. Every
single somebody got this is what I'm trying to say
to you. Get to him, no, because this is what
he's done. And if you want to change something, finally
say you know what, we waited too long. It's going
to cost us too much, stop us from having a
(22:01):
chance to win because we still have these other holes.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Him being on the team, which.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
He's been on the last few years hasn't gotten us
to where we want to go.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And I'm not saying it's his fault, but we haven't gone.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
It's different if you had a quarterback or somebody and
they won the Super Bowl for you, they won big
game for you, and you say, nah.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
We gotta we gotta have him. I get that.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
You're saying the sixty million dollar man ain't the man,
that's what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
No, I don't think he's a man.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
And I don't think paying those three guys with Ceedee,
Lamb and Dak and turn off your Mica is gonna
get you there.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
He might turn his mic off right now.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Just because anybody anybody who gets hit saying like no podcast,
We're not no podcast to be named later.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Because all he will have heard was shut up and tackle.
He ain't trying to hear that. Shut up and tackle
all right? We got file of fairite JR. Gamble on

Speaker 2 (23:22):
A big week in the big leagues.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Who's a Who's a f.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Is it foul? Or is it fair? And now from
mlbetbro dot com here's JR.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Gamble that's right, it is foul or fair?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Here on the Oye Cup of Fox Sports Radio saying
we go around the dim discuss all the biggest headlines
in Major League Baseball, nor do so properly are to
be in a real mensch, a real baseball expert, a
guy that they got to run the trades through before
they tell.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
The league ahead of the day. Is that big?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
You got that much sway in these circles? None other
than JR? Gamble?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yes, shoo?
Speaker 11 (24:03):
What's up? Fellas?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
What up?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Man?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
What's happening? Did I knew that? Did I do that?
Did I knew that? I do that? I knew that?
That doesn't even sound like me? Doesn't that sounds more
like you? That was? That was the spitting image of
you right there.
Speaker 11 (24:20):
What's good? Got a lot of things going on around
the league right now?
Speaker 4 (24:24):
That's right? Oh yeah, that's right again.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Because JR is the star of this same he gets
the first crack at every single topic. So let's get
to it. Number one, JR corn to fangrafts the Angels
entering WINNSD they only have a four point nine percent
chance of making the playoffs this season, but instead of
being sellers at the dayline like we all thought, they
went all in and required acquired relief pitchers Andrew Chafin
(24:49):
and Luis Garcia. Simple question for you, foul or fair
to say the Angels made a mistake being buyers instead
of sellers.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Fou That is a foul ball.
Speaker 11 (25:01):
I mean, come on, the Angel has been selling for years.
They have a healthy mic Trout and hope, so I
think they have no choice but to go for it
under those circumstances. The best chance for making the playoffs, though,
I believe, would be through the Division in the eight
and a half games behind the Astros. But when the
Wildcard they have to hop over the Red Sox the Mariners.
(25:23):
I don't believe they'll beat out the Yankees. And it's
interesting because there's nothing special about the Angels except everyone
in their lineup seeds to hit between like two thirty
and two seventy with fifteen to twenty bombs, so that
helps them win a lot of games with power. They
fought their baseball in home runs, so they're twenty fifth
in era, so the bullpen ads might help out. You
(25:44):
never know how it goes in baseball. So yeah, foul, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
I'm gonna say foul as well.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
That is a show ball.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I mean, I'm gonna waste another Mic Trout year.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I mean, I just so like he's healthy, he's playing,
and then now totally out of it. I get it,
it's only five per chance, but it's not like they're
out of it.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
And uh, why not.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
If you get in with seven teams making the playoffs
right from each league you get in, you never know
if you could get something going.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
It's not like a couple of years ago when they
didn't trade Otani.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That was a mistake because he wasn't re signing there
and they should have traded.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
That was a mistake. I'm not this one. This is foul. No,
this is fun.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
That is a foul.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
This is foul for me.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Well, kinda what you're just saying right there, anything's possible. Listen, Baseball,
We've seen, guys, We've seen teams get on streaks. We've
seen teams all of a sudden get hot at the
right time. You remember, that's how the Rangers won the
World two hundred. So to me, it's and they're not
when you look at it right now, as we talked about,
they're not really out of this now. They'd have to
have some bad things happen. But we've seen some teams.
The Yankees have haven't been as gray as they thought
they'd be. The Red Sox are playing well, but again
(26:48):
there's there's there's a small chance of hope, and you
gotta have something to keep selling to the fans. You
can't always be selling and always here's another season down
the toilet. You're trying to keep people in butts and
seats as.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Well, all Rightnumber two here fouler fair Jared gamble with
they couple JR Braves. Superstar Ronald Lacuna Junior wore to
move from Tuesday's loss due to tightness in his right achilles.
He's since been placed on the al battle look for him.
Tough scene for the superstar. When asked why he tried
to play through the pain, Acunya said quote, I've missed
(27:20):
so much time already through injuries. I didn't want to
miss any more time. And he's right. Entering this season,
Acunia has missed an average of sixty games a year's.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Believe twenty twenty one.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Here it is JR foul or fair to say all
these injuries will prevent Acunya Junior from ever reaching his
full potential.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
Wow, that's a loaded question. But fair, it's a fair ball.
But such as sports, I mean, he's already in my opinion,
he's already reached his potential with his forty on US
seventy steel season. What was he gonna hit sixty and
still one hundred and twenty like that, that's reaching your
potential at least fourth season MVP. Right, he's not going
(28:01):
to top that, whether healthy, I don't think or I
but it would be fun to watch him try. He's
already missed significant time and games off his peak due
to two ACL tears. Now did killy stiffness, So come on,
Fellas's safe to say he's already missed out on what
could have been. You know, in the seasons he's missed.
(28:22):
But I don't know if he's injury prone or not.
You know, he had some rough luck early in Carades
twenty seven. He's feeling his peak, so we'll have to
find out. Is he Eric Davis or Ken Griffy Jr. Trajectory?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
You know, yeah, I'm gonna say foul.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That is a foul ball.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I know he's missed a lot of time and whatnot,
but he still has had a significant career already. And
you saw it as soon as he came back there
he had a home runers first at bat. He was
voted starter in the All Star team. He's a star
as a player, and we saw a couple of years
ago Aaron Judge had that run where he couldn't stay healthy,
and I know he's hurt now again, but he's had
(28:58):
a nice run. So if he can just kind of
like get past it, I think he could still have
a blossom and have a really good career.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
It's fair just pitching all the reasons. Why if you
said he was missing twenty thirty games, I'd say as
a lot, But I can understand it's a long season.
Sixty games, my goodness, we're approaching half at that point, absolutely,
and he has been spectacular when we see him, which
is why to me it's fair, because what would a
full season or full two three year run look like
(29:28):
with him. It might be championships down there in atl
So to me, that's why it's fair. We'll never fully
be able to see what a dominant handful of seasons
will look like with him playing, you know, one hundred
and forty games.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
All right, last one found a fair quick up there
to show Tani though, even though he got pulled with
the pitching, he is still batting and actually just struck
out looking striking out.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
He is in the game.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
He's been too much going on, been two seventy seven.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I mean, this is not the year like he had
a year ago.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
That sounds like everybody else in baseball would take that
run about now year ago.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
But the headline is he is in the game, so
hopefully the injury is not as bad as it looked
last one. Fowler fair jer again with the yak couple.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Guys told you.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
According to.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
According to Ja Morossi, Front of the Show is going
to be on tomorrow, the Dodgers have engaged with the
Guardians on a trade involving former Triple Crown pitcher Shane Bieber.
That's notable because entering this week, the Dodgers had a
mostly healthy starting staff. I got screwed up right now,
you know, between Yamamoto, Glass, now Kershaw, Snell, and now
TONI Willson's on him only Roki Sasaki is unavailable at
(30:31):
the moment, So JR. Fouler fair to say the addition
of Bieber would cement the Dodgers once again as the
World Series favorites.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
Found that is a fallball only because the Dodgers are
the world champs, so they're already the World's Series favorites.
They were that before the season started by every most
every you know known publication or expert analyst that I
a baseball guy, and I spoke to so ever written
in stone, as we've seen twenty of first round indivisional
(31:03):
series up since over the past two years. But we
also know that all these guys are not gonna be
healthy when the playoffs start. Somebody's gonna be out or
laboring at you know, the very least. Because let's be honest, Kevin,
when I think of playing kershow I hold my breath
every time he's on the mound because it could be
his last pitch. So it's baseball, not bowling. And Beaver's
(31:26):
looks station only two stars though, I mean twelve minutes,
no run, twenty k's. His market was high, right, they
so high with him on that So the rich get
richer the Dodgers because their wealth they can afford to
bringing them guys. But you know, we'll see how it
looks like in October.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Yeah, I'm gonna say foul.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
That is a foul ball. This is not just pitching.
Mookie's having an off year. Oh Tani's batting two seventy seven, No,
Max Muncy, Freddy Freeman has had his ups and dead
like like, the lineup isn't that great either. I get
the pitching but they this is not the team that
won the World Series last year.
Speaker 11 (32:04):
Don't be till October, though.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
But I'm just saying all year they struggled. I'm not
buying in that as all of a sudden gonna flip
a switch.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Here's why, and here's why I say it's fair exactly
what you just said.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Rob.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
It's because last year was the year where everybody thought
they weren't gonna do it. They're banged up, they were
going through this. They had to trust the bullpen, and
they were able to get it done. Uh and find
a way to get it done. But a couple of things.
They are already gonna be the favorites just because they're
the ranting chips and they already have You're sitting at
the only team to me that if you're them, that
fully worries you within the own your league is the Brewers.
(32:40):
For some reason, the Brewers have their numbers except for
the postseason on the.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Brewers just right.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
But right now you're like, Oh, the Brewers, for some reason,
they're not scared of us at all. But I think
the Dodgers, especially you talk start talking about the fall,
they write the ship and they'll be all right, and
maybe they don't win it, but I still see why
they would.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Be the favorites.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
All right, thanks, no, hey, all right me yeah Freeham
actually you right here't gonna be doing that. Yeah, nothing
happening there, just like ain't nothing happened with the Steelers too.
That's another conversation for another day. All right, thank you,
j I appreciate it. All right, one's gotta go. You
