to Scaritch give Ryan a shout out first of all
for working filling in for Kelvin on this holiday and
number two earlier this year. Ryan was a guest at
(01:56):
my class via zoom at USC my sports reporting class,
and he was great if the kids really loved it.
And Ryan, I'm all sincerity. You know, I'm just be
messing with you, but I appreciate you seriously.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It's cool.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Did they remember anything I said? Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yes, I had a good class and some real good kids.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And what about me when I left?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Man, No, they like that. I'll honest, you were you
know what I mean? Because you don't pull any punches.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
No, I didn't. We have fun. You got a good group.
You're doing a good job, Rob.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
I wish I had a mentor like you when I
was younger, and not like like you came in. I
think I was like thirty. It was probably about thirty
six when you came into my.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Life, right, I know, I think I made a couple
of strides with you though, I do. I think because
when we were doing a lot of the AM five
seventy here in our.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Life we got a lot.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
No I got in trouble man taught me off the
ledge a few times.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes, but now look at you. How many years you've
been in Houston.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Now this is my fourth year.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
The team is red hot. I think we had the
best thing cooking in the league. We used to come.
There's a lot exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Is there a chance, Is there a chance that Duran
or somebody's coming, or like is there some player or something.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
I think the biggest thing is that Houston's done a
good job. And this is always a good thing in life,
is Houston has options. You know you can you can
stay with a good thing. And you see a lot
of the older guys getting injured, and can you make
it through the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They got a nice young team, but sometimes just add
maybe a sprinkle of a veteran.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Playing with you got option to go either way. Life
is about options, Rob, don't just just I know.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I found that out with my wife. You know, she
had an option, so she took it. I'm just saying.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I got that.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
All right, Hey, let's talk Los Angeles Dodgers. You grew
up here in the LA area.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Everybody knows how people love the Dodgers here, right.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They sold four million tickets.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I mean, Ryan, I'm not telling you anything new, but
I mean it's incredible. And since they got Shoe Haltani
and just the interest with the Dodgers and everything. And
I'm starting to watch show Hayes not nearly having the
year he had last year. He was unbelievable, the first
to get fifty stolen you know, fifty or more stolen
bases and fifty or more home runs never done. Baseball
(04:18):
has been around for three hundred years or at least
it seems like that, you.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Know, forever, right, Ryan. But now shay.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Otani's been pitching right like off the mound, getting ready
like he's ready to come back pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, and we're gonna start see him. Just give us
a little update, am I right?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
He's yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
So he's been doing he's been before every game doing
a little bullpen pitches.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
He looks great.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
Actually, the Dodgers just put out a video yesterday before
their game of him throwing curveballs.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Kind of getting ready.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
He's striking the first pitch he through, Ryan, though, they're
still looking for the ball, but they think he'll be
all right.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
But he is looking good and the Dodgers are thinking
about drawing him into the rotation soon, especially with where
their current pitching staff is at.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Rob what do you think about this?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay? And and Shaye, I want you to be involved.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
I want you know, remember when I took a hundred
off you?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Do you have to bring that up again?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Come on, I'm gonna keep bring it up.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That was the World Series. He clipped me for a hundred, Ryan,
I had the Yankees, he had the Dodgers. But anyway,
my point here is, as I'm watching and I understand
how important pitching is and all the other stuff, he's
not having a year that he had a year ago already,
and now you'd have to take him out out of
the lineup. Hold on up, just wait, you have to
(05:41):
take him out of the lineup, right, Ryan. He can't,
he can't do him bold. You got to give him
time so that he can get ready to have his start, right,
So probably miss a game there.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And here's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You're not stealing fifty bags if you're pitching, Okay, you
can't afford to expose that arm.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You're comparing, Okay, you expect him.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I'll let you.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I'll let you finish here.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
All I'm saying is, and I'm gonna say this to
Ryan first is, Babe, Ruth did both. He pitched and
he hit. And guess what he wound up doing. He
turned into a full time hitter because they couldn't have
this guy wasting time on the mound? Ryan, Am I crazy?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Here's the thing I gues he's a unicorn?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
No, no, no, yeah, I don't think you're absolutely crazy. There's
a there's a risk that he couldn't get injured doing it.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
He's unbelievable healing.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Basis, Am I right? As if you're gonna be a Patrick,
I hear you.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
But but at the end of the day, this was
this wasn't even the same century that we're talking. So
you're bringing up baby roup. I don't really want to
hear that from you. And here's the thing, Rob, what's
the term right?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
R OI? Right?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Return on investment? How much money did they paying? Seven hundreds?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's seven hundred, seven hundred.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
We didn't pay you seven Rob They didn't pay this
man seven hundred million dollars just to be a good hitter.
They paid this man seven hundred man because he's all
that in the back of chips. They need everything from
a Robs. Are you kidding me that you're telling me that, oh,
he's injured. Players get injured. That is a part of
the game. He's a unique talent. And as a fan,
(07:20):
are you telling me, Rob? Speak to me if you're
a fan of the game, because there's an entertainment value,
and you're the MLB bro right, and if you're paying
all this money and a Dodger dog is like seventy
bucks a dog, right, you going.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
To the game?
Speaker 6 (07:33):
So you're telling me that you didn't pay this man.
You paid him to see a pitch hand hit, Rob?
Are you kidding me right now?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm just saying, just answer the question.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Did you know seventy they didn't pay him hundred dog? Okay,
they did pay him the seven hundred million, but they
also just paid Juan Solo seven sixty five. He ain't pitching,
he's just hitting Ryan. And I'm gonna say this, Shay,
come on, I know you're Dodger fan.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
I'm waiting and go ahead, he's ready for you.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
I okay, I'm just gonna respond to what you said. Obviously,
they're paying him seven hundred million dollars. The babe ruth
shouldn't even be talked about right now. Okay, Tobby Tommy
Johnson wasn't even a thing when he was playing. Yes,
but he him and babe, what are we on the
two last players who did it? That's the only reason
that bring it out. So First off, when you have
a player like this that is able to do it,
why would you take that away from him? Why would
(08:25):
you take that away from the sport? Second off, you're
trying to compare his current show, his current stats the
last year. Last year was literally like a once in
a lifetime fifty to fifty is unheard of, that's never
been done, but probably will never get done.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
This year he has nineteen home runs, only nineteen home runs,
but only thirty three RBIs.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Only thirty three RBIs could that's good?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
What eight?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He had one hundred and thirty last year?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Ryan, He's gonna have seventy this year, be off sixty
and when he's start pitching, he'll be off even more.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Are you worried about his numbers that you're worried about
the Dodgers winning. Now, I can give you something if
you say, maybe limit his pitching. Okay, bring him along
when you need him, make sure he brings his value.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
But to say, if we're.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Not wrong, right, well, why would you just take it
completely out of the equation.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
I take it completely out of the equation.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I just do yourself.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Wouldn't even want to come and just see him do
one thing?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Rob, No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
But as I start to think about it, I just
look at his value as a hitter and what he
brings to the lineup, and now you're gonna start taking
that out. He can't be aggressive on the basis because
you got to protect that arm. Right when you start
thinking about pitching. I just don't think he can. So
a lot of stuff changes for him, and we're seeing
it already. I don't know how you have nineteen home
(09:48):
runs and thirty three RBI.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Well, because the Dodgers can't get on base. It's that's
the only thing. It's a home run or it's either out.
It's that's almost every time. But I want to show
his problem. It's not show he's fun. I want their
leadof hitter, he's getting a home run. He had a
home run the last two.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, But the difference is last year was a leadoff
hitter and he had one hundred and thirty RBIs.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
We're getting way more on base.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Shaw was hitting singles, so Mookie was doing doubles. That
was every other I beat.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
So now you're telling me that it's cut in half,
that that the people down at the bottom of the
line are cut in half.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Or is he just not getting hits when people are
on base?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
That's what I'm I want you to look at his
runners and score his hitting battle average.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Okay, I'll look at her right now.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
MLB bro, he's looking that up. Let me let me
ask you something, MLB bro. I just said, MLB bro,
what's the most valuable position in baseball?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Pitching his big time I okay, but also having a
great hitter.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
He did something last year.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
All I'm saying is fifty home runs, fifty stolen base,
one hundred and thirty RBIs, and now he's on pace
for seventy.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
The most valuable position?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Is that?
Speaker 9 (11:03):
Right?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Why?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Why why don't God screen there? But you completely taking
out the equation. I can understand if you said let's
limit his pitching. Okay, let's limit the chance of injury.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Let's okay, here's you ready for the Parker pushback the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
No, here you go.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The Dodgers won the World Series last year, and guess
who didn't pitch show El Tani.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
He didn't pitch for the Ryan and.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They won the World Series without him pitching because he
had a monster year at the plane.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
When did it happened last year? But what makes you
think last year and this year the same?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'm not saying, but you know, come onb bro, what
makes you think it's?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Did you find out what he had runners his screporated?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Now before we do that?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
No, I want the numbers, don't him?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
And Hall? Don't.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Next time you're hearing me, I'll give you the number.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
No, I want him right now.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Look at it right now, Shy give it to me.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, Shae has him, and he knows what I'm talking about.
They're always trying to make it like, oh, nobody's on bage.
That's why he has a thirty three army robe.
Speaker 5 (12:11):

Speaker 6 (12:13):

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Amazing, and she marries you, and all of a sudden,
it's like, I don't know if I can do this
cooking anymore.
Speaker 10 (12:26):

Speaker 6 (12:28):
Come on, Rob, you need to look saying the cooking.
That's what you signed up for, seven hundred million in
the bank.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
Come on, big fellow, all right, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Ryan says, you
paid him for the boat pitching and hitting. He should
do both. I'm skeptical. I'm saying he should be in
the lineup every day swinging that bat. They won a
World Series without him, and maybe they can win another one.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (12:55):

Hey?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Do you want to hear the I finally got up?
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So he's hitting it two thirty.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Five, Ryan, Did you hear that? With runners in position
to thirty five? Guess what he hit last year?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Go ahead to eighty five.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
So he's falling off. Would you say that, Ryan? Is
that fair?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
That's fair? Rob?
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Two thirty five off?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
But it's is it is trended the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Okay, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
All right?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Do you think he should both pitch and hit he's
coming back any day now.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It seems like pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
He's been warming up in the bullpen, throwing slur curves
and sliders and all that, getting ready to get back
on the mound to get into rotation with the Dodgers.
I say his bad as too valuable to really have
him pitch.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I'm not convinced anymore.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
I was.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I loved the unicorn thing.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Ryan Hollins says, that's what we paid for seven hundred million.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We want to see both, not one.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Where are you eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
Mike and Augusta.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You're on the couple of Fox sportsuaiting what you got? Mike?
Speaker 11 (15:21):
What's going on? Fellas?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
How are you?
Speaker 11 (15:24):
I'm good, I'm good. Thanks for asking.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
Real quick history lesson may Ruth wasn't the last one
to do this at.
Speaker 11 (15:30):
A high level.
Speaker 12 (15:31):
It was Tony Kleininger for the Atlanta Braids.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
He complete.
Speaker 12 (15:35):
He pitched a complete game that hit two Grand slams
in the same game in nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
How long he did that for the entire season?
Speaker 12 (15:43):
No, no, no, But I'm saying is the reason why
we don't know his name is because they didn't let
him cook.
Speaker 11 (15:48):
So the Dodgers gotta let show hey cook.
Speaker 12 (15:51):
They gotta run him, they gotta hit him, or he's
just gonna be another person in baseball. He won't be
history making.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I'm just asking, like he was so value valuable last year.
His numbers were ridiculous. I'm not saying he's gonna repeat those,
but can the Dodgers afford to give up those at bats?
That's what I'm just asking. Wow, all right, thanks Mike,
appreciate it. Jerome and Charleston, you're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Jerome?

a one nothing. Lead Major League baseball in action right,
now The rays have a seven to two lead over The, Twins,
diamondbacks five nothing over The, pirates and the top of
the sixth, raise top of the, ninth, there top of the.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Fourth for The.
Speaker 14 (23:07):
Marlins they have a three to nothing lead over The.
Padres earlier today we saw the one of the best
teams in The American. League The tigers beat The giants

hollins filling in For Kelvin washington right here On Fox Sports. Radio,
now let's welcome IN.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Jr.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Gamble he is the managing editor OF MLB bro cause to,
know let's welcome in to the Odd.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Couple what's, Up?
Speaker 9 (24:03):
JR a fellows, Time, Rob?
Speaker 11 (24:05):
Ryan how are you?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Today we are doing great arguing about baseball of.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Court they are why why is he laugh every TIME
i call him THE mlb. Bro didn't he name himself
to Any but why is he laughs rocks every TIME
i say it. Him i'm the only one who acknowledges the.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Name, no it's just that's the name of my. Site
mL why do you laugh WHAT i call?
Speaker 9 (24:25):
You to?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Him and be Pro could you be trying to be?
Funny all?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Right we got some baseball questions we need you from
you to be.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Answered let's start with The.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Dodgers they win tonight In, cleveland but they were only
ten and eleven in their previous twenty one. Games is it?
Injuries what is? It because they've been rather. Inconsistent remember
they got off to a hot. START i think they
won the first seven or eight games of the, year
and people thought this was gonna be The beatles and
they were gonna go around the country and SCORE i,
(24:54):
mean and win one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Games you remember all the. Talk we haven't heard that
for months.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
Now, yeah it's a dead point in the. Season on.
Paper on, paper we know people were picking The dodgers
to run away with the. Division but this is baseball
and any given day you can, lose and one loss
can turn into a bunch if every one isn't locked.
In the team struggles of, course with some defensive evers and.
Breakdowns What Max munky made as was is eighth era
(25:21):
of the season already On, sunday and that's been a
concern For Dave, roberts the best, Teams Robin. Ryan you,
know they have been ups and. Downs people raved about
all the, arms the excess arms The dodgers, had and the.
Bill the bullpens to me's been down, bad y'allm a
motive did his job. Tonight they Beat cleveland with solace
(25:42):
pitching and time they hit. It also show Hal tany
threw twenty two pictures of lot, bullpens so first in two.
Years so that's a great sign because he definitely strength
strengthens the staff if he's going to be. Pitching but
they both about finding a way to drind through the.
Season you know that you have to think they'll definitely
make the. Playoffs i'm not mad that they're getting competition
(26:04):
From San francisco and The podjects who are giving them
a run for their. Money that's good for. Baseball so you,
know the top ten in, defense but The arizon kill
you and the twentieth and pitching right now when THEY'RE
era close to, five so they got to clean that.
Up BUT i think they're still in the driver's.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Season C, j are you sound like the REAL mlb
bro right?
Speaker 6 (26:22):
NOW i should be calling YOU mlb, Bro But i'm
gonna throw something to you Since i'm been a little
little poo pool seven for the basketball.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Player BUT i want to hear from. You we want to.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Know how impressive Is judge's season After soto?
Speaker 7 (26:34):
Bounced, okay come, on come, on break it down for, us.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
The REAL mb bro here.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Round, OKAY i mean to, me it's incredibly. Impressive they
might be old hack to some, people BUT i mean
it's Almost june and he's hovering around four. Hundred he
has eighteen. Homers he's been like a video. GAME i
don't Think Moron soto ever had anything to do With judges'.
Success he's been a monster fifty homer season, six the home,
(27:00):
seasons MVPs for almost a decade going on. Now so
the man's one of the greatest hitters the game has ever,
seen and we're witnessing his baseball peak right, now and
it's a little bit. Scary So solo on the other,
hand doesn't have judging that lineup anymore or the depths
of The yankees lineup, Overall and it might be showing
(27:20):
The mets lineup, serviceable but it's not dominant. Currently the
like sixteenth and batting in the, league but you know
their picks and carries them being. Out they're the only
team in baseball with the team eight under. Three all.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right our guest IS.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Jr, gamble the managing editor of mlbbro dot, com speaking
Of Onan. Sodo, yeah do you expect him to turn it?
Around it's been a rough road for him In. Queens,
also the enthusiasm hasn't been, there AND i think if
you're A mets, fan you're a Little you got seven
hundred and sixty five million dollars and he doesn't seem
(27:55):
to be that thrilled to be playing with The. Mets
will he turn the season around and put Typical wan solo?
Speaker 11 (28:01):
Numbers, Well, rob you said that he would struggle In New,
york and in our conversations you thought he would struggle
his first, season, right and then rebound and have better.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Season BUT i, DID i really.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
DID i said that way beforety, body, Right.
Speaker 11 (28:18):
SO i agree the man averages thirty four homers and
one hundred ofvi in his first seven seasons for his,
career so you have to, say of course he's going
to turn it around with just what some fifty games
into the, season he wanted to be the man on The,
mets so he's learning how to deal with that. Pressure
it's a little different the constant mentioning of what you,
(28:40):
know the, seven nine and sixty five. Million it's not
like he's in contention for the Worst mets signing. Ever you,
know he's still an elite level. Hitter he has eight on,
runs he's averages forty points or so below his career,
average but a strong second half can fix all of.
That what we do, Know, fellas is that The mets
are in contention to go to The World. Share he's
in The National league and they need him to be
(29:03):
his best down to, stretch not right. Now so he's
a true. BALLER i can't really say anything bad about.
Him you, predicted LIKE i, said he would, Struggle SO
i think next season will be the huge. Season but
he can still do big things this. Year, yeah that
don't count him out at the fifty. Games he could
go on.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
To ten all, Right i'm talking to the REAL mlb bro. Here.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Man i'm Just i'm Just i'm just a little. Nobody,
yeah just a little. Nobody, Okay BUT i want to know.
Something are The tigers for? Real are they IN? Mlb
are they in oral series? Contention is this a real?
Thing should we be talking more about The tigers right?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Now?
Speaker 11 (29:40):
Brian The city of De choice on? Fire right? Now
The pistons are looking. Good and then you have. YES I,
well last TIME i came on this, SHOW i believe
it was In, april too long. AGO i BELIEVE i
believe it was In, april.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
And that you weren't.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Bad see, there you you weren't.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Bad you were not bad in the either WAS? Jr go, AHEAD.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
JR i believe THAT i.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
Picked The tigers as my surprise. Team SO i got
to watch them every day last season for the first
half of the, season AND i saw the potential with
the lethal pitching, staff they had the young talent that
was returning from. Injury they can still use some, offense
but right now they're balanced the leventh, ben hitting top
five and pitching and fielding in all of. Baseball they
(30:26):
Have School bull Of, costs who's The ace And flowerty went.
Healthy he has a stump plus other solid On SO
i THINK i Think detroit has a. Rise AND i
picked them to lose in THE alcs to The, Yankees
SO i guess that would make them world certain.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Contenders, yes all, right last question we got about a.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Minute, sure how about the most disappointing team this? Year
i'm gonna. GUESS i don't want to let. ME i
got a team in, mind and let me see what
you're gonna.
Speaker 11 (30:59):
Say go, ahead, okay because we don't Consider.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Colorado, no, no, no, No i'm not considering, Them, Ariel
that's WHAT i was going to.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Say go, AHEAD i want to hear.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
You you have to be nineteen and thirty four last
place after winning ninety one games last, year going neck
and next with The yankees one hundred and one games
in twenty twenty. Three all we heard about was the farm,
system the, wealth the richest holiday. Rushman all these guys
are supposed to come right and turn The baltimore back
into The Earl Weaver World Series. Orioles but it didn't,
(31:30):
happen And baltimore fans probably expected a slight step, back
but not.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
This no doubt it has been bad there In, baltimore unbelievably.
Bad and of course the manager lost his gig and
they'll be, changes no doubt about.
Speaker 1 (31:45):

to Scaritch give Ryan a shout out first of all
for working filling in for Kelvin on this holiday and
number two earlier this year. Ryan was a guest at
(01:56):
my class via zoom at USC my sports reporting class,
and he was great if the kids really loved it.
And Ryan, I'm all sincerity. You know, I'm just be
messing with you, but I appreciate you seriously.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It's cool.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Did they remember anything I said? Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yes, I had a good class and some real good kids.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And what about me when I left?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Man, No, they like that. I'll honest, you were you
know what I mean? Because you don't pull any punches.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
No, I didn't. We have fun. You got a good group.
You're doing a good job, Rob.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
I wish I had a mentor like you when I
was younger, and not like like you came in. I
think I was like thirty. It was probably about thirty
six when you came into my.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Life, right, I know, I think I made a couple
of strides with you though, I do. I think because
when we were doing a lot of the AM five
seventy here in our.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Life we got a lot.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
No I got in trouble man taught me off the
ledge a few times.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes, but now look at you. How many years you've
been in Houston.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Now this is my fourth year.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
The team is red hot. I think we had the
best thing cooking in the league. We used to come.
There's a lot exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Is there a chance, Is there a chance that Duran
or somebody's coming, or like is there some player or something.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
I think the biggest thing is that Houston's done a
good job. And this is always a good thing in life,
is Houston has options. You know you can you can
stay with a good thing. And you see a lot
of the older guys getting injured, and can you make
it through the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They got a nice young team, but sometimes just add
maybe a sprinkle of a veteran.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Playing with you got option to go either way. Life
is about options, Rob, don't just just I know.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I found that out with my wife. You know, she
had an option, so she took it. I'm just saying.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I got that.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
All right, Hey, let's talk Los Angeles Dodgers. You grew
up here in the LA area.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Everybody knows how people love the Dodgers here, right.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They sold four million tickets.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I mean, Ryan, I'm not telling you anything new, but
I mean it's incredible. And since they got Shoe Haltani
and just the interest with the Dodgers and everything. And
I'm starting to watch show Hayes not nearly having the
year he had last year. He was unbelievable, the first
to get fifty stolen you know, fifty or more stolen
bases and fifty or more home runs never done. Baseball
(04:18):
has been around for three hundred years or at least
it seems like that, you.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Know, forever, right, Ryan. But now shay.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Otani's been pitching right like off the mound, getting ready
like he's ready to come back pretty soon.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, and we're gonna start see him. Just give us
a little update, am I right?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
He's yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
So he's been doing he's been before every game doing
a little bullpen pitches.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
He looks great.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
Actually, the Dodgers just put out a video yesterday before
their game of him throwing curveballs.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Kind of getting ready.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
He's striking the first pitch he through, Ryan, though, they're
still looking for the ball, but they think he'll be
all right.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
But he is looking good and the Dodgers are thinking
about drawing him into the rotation soon, especially with where
their current pitching staff is at.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Rob what do you think about this?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay? And and Shaye, I want you to be involved.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
I want you know, remember when I took a hundred
off you?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Do you have to bring that up again?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Come on, I'm gonna keep bring it up.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That was the World Series. He clipped me for a hundred, Ryan,
I had the Yankees, he had the Dodgers. But anyway,
my point here is, as I'm watching and I understand
how important pitching is and all the other stuff, he's
not having a year that he had a year ago already,
and now you'd have to take him out out of
the lineup. Hold on up, just wait, you have to
(05:41):
take him out of the lineup, right, Ryan. He can't,
he can't do him bold. You got to give him
time so that he can get ready to have his start, right,
So probably miss a game there.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And here's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You're not stealing fifty bags if you're pitching, Okay, you
can't afford to expose that arm.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You're comparing, Okay, you expect him.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I'll let you.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I'll let you finish here.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
All I'm saying is, and I'm gonna say this to
Ryan first is, Babe, Ruth did both. He pitched and
he hit. And guess what he wound up doing. He
turned into a full time hitter because they couldn't have
this guy wasting time on the mound? Ryan, Am I crazy?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Here's the thing I gues he's a unicorn?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
No, no, no, yeah, I don't think you're absolutely crazy. There's
a there's a risk that he couldn't get injured doing it.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
He's unbelievable healing.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Basis, Am I right? As if you're gonna be a Patrick,
I hear you.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
But but at the end of the day, this was
this wasn't even the same century that we're talking. So
you're bringing up baby roup. I don't really want to
hear that from you. And here's the thing, Rob, what's
the term right?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
R OI? Right?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Return on investment? How much money did they paying? Seven hundreds?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's seven hundred, seven hundred.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
We didn't pay you seven Rob They didn't pay this
man seven hundred million dollars just to be a good hitter.
They paid this man seven hundred man because he's all
that in the back of chips. They need everything from
a Robs. Are you kidding me that you're telling me that, oh,
he's injured. Players get injured. That is a part of
the game. He's a unique talent. And as a fan,
(07:20):
are you telling me, Rob? Speak to me if you're
a fan of the game, because there's an entertainment value,
and you're the MLB bro right, and if you're paying
all this money and a Dodger dog is like seventy
bucks a dog, right, you going.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
To the game?
Speaker 6 (07:33):
So you're telling me that you didn't pay this man.
You paid him to see a pitch hand hit, Rob?
Are you kidding me right now?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm just saying, just answer the question.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Did you know seventy they didn't pay him hundred dog? Okay,
they did pay him the seven hundred million, but they
also just paid Juan Solo seven sixty five. He ain't pitching,
he's just hitting Ryan. And I'm gonna say this, Shay,
come on, I know you're Dodger fan.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
I'm waiting and go ahead, he's ready for you.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
I okay, I'm just gonna respond to what you said. Obviously,
they're paying him seven hundred million dollars. The babe ruth
shouldn't even be talked about right now. Okay, Tobby Tommy
Johnson wasn't even a thing when he was playing. Yes,
but he him and babe, what are we on the
two last players who did it? That's the only reason
that bring it out. So First off, when you have
a player like this that is able to do it,
why would you take that away from him? Why would
(08:25):
you take that away from the sport? Second off, you're
trying to compare his current show, his current stats the
last year. Last year was literally like a once in
a lifetime fifty to fifty is unheard of, that's never
been done, but probably will never get done.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
This year he has nineteen home runs, only nineteen home runs,
but only thirty three RBIs.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Only thirty three RBIs could that's good?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
What eight?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He had one hundred and thirty last year?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Ryan, He's gonna have seventy this year, be off sixty
and when he's start pitching, he'll be off even more.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Are you worried about his numbers that you're worried about
the Dodgers winning. Now, I can give you something if
you say, maybe limit his pitching. Okay, bring him along
when you need him, make sure he brings his value.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
But to say, if we're.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Not wrong, right, well, why would you just take it
completely out of the equation.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
I take it completely out of the equation.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I just do yourself.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Wouldn't even want to come and just see him do
one thing?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Rob, No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
But as I start to think about it, I just
look at his value as a hitter and what he
brings to the lineup, and now you're gonna start taking
that out. He can't be aggressive on the basis because
you got to protect that arm. Right when you start
thinking about pitching. I just don't think he can. So
a lot of stuff changes for him, and we're seeing
it already. I don't know how you have nineteen home
(09:48):
runs and thirty three RBI.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Well, because the Dodgers can't get on base. It's that's
the only thing. It's a home run or it's either out.
It's that's almost every time. But I want to show
his problem. It's not show he's fun. I want their
leadof hitter, he's getting a home run. He had a
home run the last two.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, But the difference is last year was a leadoff
hitter and he had one hundred and thirty RBIs.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
We're getting way more on base.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Shaw was hitting singles, so Mookie was doing doubles. That
was every other I beat.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
So now you're telling me that it's cut in half,
that that the people down at the bottom of the
line are cut in half.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Or is he just not getting hits when people are
on base?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
That's what I'm I want you to look at his
runners and score his hitting battle average.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Okay, I'll look at her right now.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
MLB bro, he's looking that up. Let me let me
ask you something, MLB bro. I just said, MLB bro,
what's the most valuable position in baseball?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Pitching his big time I okay, but also having a
great hitter.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
He did something last year.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
All I'm saying is fifty home runs, fifty stolen base,
one hundred and thirty RBIs, and now he's on pace
for seventy.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
The most valuable position?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Is that?
Speaker 9 (11:03):
Right?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Why?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Why why don't God screen there? But you completely taking
out the equation. I can understand if you said let's
limit his pitching. Okay, let's limit the chance of injury.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Let's okay, here's you ready for the Parker pushback the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
No, here you go.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The Dodgers won the World Series last year, and guess
who didn't pitch show El Tani.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
He didn't pitch for the Ryan and.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They won the World Series without him pitching because he
had a monster year at the plane.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
When did it happened last year? But what makes you
think last year and this year the same?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'm not saying, but you know, come onb bro, what
makes you think it's?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Did you find out what he had runners his screporated?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Now before we do that?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
No, I want the numbers, don't him?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
And Hall? Don't.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Next time you're hearing me, I'll give you the number.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
No, I want him right now.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Look at it right now, Shy give it to me.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, Shae has him, and he knows what I'm talking about.
They're always trying to make it like, oh, nobody's on bage.
That's why he has a thirty three army robe.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
You're the manage expert for right now.
Speaker 6 (12:13):

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Amazing, and she marries you, and all of a sudden,
it's like, I don't know if I can do this
cooking anymore.
Speaker 10 (12:26):

Come on, Rob, you need to look saying the cooking.
That's what you signed up for, seven hundred million in
the bank.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
Come on, big fellow, all right, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Ryan says, you
paid him for the boat pitching and hitting. He should
do both. I'm skeptical. I'm saying he should be in
the lineup every day swinging that bat. They won a
World Series without him, and maybe they can win another one.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (12:55):

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Do you want to hear the I finally got up?
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So he's hitting it two thirty.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Five, Ryan, Did you hear that? With runners in position
to thirty five? Guess what he hit last year?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Go ahead to eighty five.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
So he's falling off. Would you say that, Ryan? Is
that fair?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
That's fair? Rob?
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Two thirty five off?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
But it's is it is trended the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Okay, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
All right?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Do you think he should both pitch and hit he's
coming back any day now.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It seems like pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
He's been warming up in the bullpen, throwing slur curves
and sliders and all that, getting ready to get back
on the mound to get into rotation with the Dodgers.
I say his bad as too valuable to really have
him pitch.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I'm not convinced anymore.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
I was.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I loved the unicorn thing.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Ryan Hollins says, that's what we paid for seven hundred million.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
We want to see both, not one.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Where are you eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
Mike and Augusta.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You're on the couple of Fox sportsuaiting what you got? Mike?
Speaker 11 (15:21):
What's going on? Fellas?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
How are you?
Speaker 11 (15:24):
I'm good, I'm good. Thanks for asking.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
Real quick history lesson may Ruth wasn't the last one
to do this at.
Speaker 11 (15:30):
A high level.
Speaker 12 (15:31):
It was Tony Kleininger for the Atlanta Braids.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
He complete.
Speaker 12 (15:35):
He pitched a complete game that hit two Grand slams
in the same game in nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
How long he did that for the entire season?
Speaker 12 (15:43):
No, no, no, But I'm saying is the reason why
we don't know his name is because they didn't let
him cook.
Speaker 11 (15:48):
So the Dodgers gotta let show hey cook.
Speaker 12 (15:51):
They gotta run him, they gotta hit him, or he's
just gonna be another person in baseball. He won't be
history making.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I'm just asking, like he was so value valuable last year.
His numbers were ridiculous. I'm not saying he's gonna repeat those,
but can the Dodgers afford to give up those at bats?
That's what I'm just asking. Wow, all right, thanks Mike,
appreciate it. Jerome and Charleston, you're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Jerome?

even want to play back to, bags they want to
be nine.
Speaker 6 (19:08):

carry versus basketball. Players and this guy's as advertised to do.

got fun.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Okay and he. Won he was, like, okay well the DIFFERENT.
Nba the pace of THE nba plays so much. Faster

that boll no what even who? Cares why you going sar?
Speaker 13 (20:08):

you BOUGHT i don't know what to an if you
bought a ticket to a nationally televised game and you
go there and and then there's THE tv rights are
there for the. Game there is a business at basketball at.
Hand but for a regular season, Game i'm paying four hundred.

diamondbacks five nothing over The, pirates and the top of
the sixth, raise top of the, ninth, there top of the.
Speaker 5 (23:07):

Speaker 14 (23:07):
Marlins they have a three to nothing lead over The.

teams in The American. League The tigers beat The giants

hollins filling in For Kelvin washington right here On Fox Sports. Radio,
now let's welcome IN.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Jr.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Gamble he is the managing editor OF MLB bro cause to,
know let's welcome in to the Odd.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Couple what's, Up?
Speaker 9 (24:03):
JR a fellows, Time, Rob?
Speaker 11 (24:05):
Ryan how are you?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Today we are doing great arguing about baseball of.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Court they are why why is he laugh every TIME
i call him THE mlb. Bro didn't he name himself
to Any but why is he laughs rocks every TIME
i say it. Him i'm the only one who acknowledges the.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Name, no it's just that's the name of my. Site
mL why do you laugh WHAT i call?
Speaker 9 (24:25):
You to?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Him and be Pro could you be trying to be?
Funny all?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Right we got some baseball questions we need you from
you to be.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Answered let's start with The.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Dodgers they win tonight In, cleveland but they were only
ten and eleven in their previous twenty one. Games is it?
Injuries what is? It because they've been rather. Inconsistent remember
they got off to a hot. START i think they
won the first seven or eight games of the, year
and people thought this was gonna be The beatles and
they were gonna go around the country and SCORE i,
(24:54):
mean and win one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Games you remember all the. Talk we haven't heard that
for months.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
Now, yeah it's a dead point in the. Season on.
Paper on, paper we know people were picking The dodgers
to run away with the. Division but this is baseball
and any given day you can, lose and one loss
can turn into a bunch if every one isn't locked.
In the team struggles of, course with some defensive evers and.
Breakdowns What Max munky made as was is eighth era
(25:21):
of the season already On, sunday and that's been a
concern For Dave, roberts the best, Teams Robin. Ryan you,
know they have been ups and. Downs people raved about
all the, arms the excess arms The dodgers, had and the.
Bill the bullpens to me's been down, bad y'allm a
motive did his job. Tonight they Beat cleveland with solace
(25:42):
pitching and time they hit. It also show Hal tany
threw twenty two pictures of lot, bullpens so first in two.
Years so that's a great sign because he definitely strength
strengthens the staff if he's going to be. Pitching but
they both about finding a way to drind through the.
Season you know that you have to think they'll definitely
make the. Playoffs i'm not mad that they're getting competition
(26:04):
From San francisco and The podjects who are giving them
a run for their. Money that's good for. Baseball so you,
know the top ten in, defense but The arizon kill
you and the twentieth and pitching right now when THEY'RE
era close to, five so they got to clean that.
Up BUT i think they're still in the driver's.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Season C, j are you sound like the REAL mlb
bro right?
Speaker 6 (26:22):
NOW i should be calling YOU mlb, Bro But i'm
gonna throw something to you Since i'm been a little
little poo pool seven for the basketball.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Player BUT i want to hear from. You we want to.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Know how impressive Is judge's season After soto?
Speaker 7 (26:34):
Bounced, okay come, on come, on break it down for, us.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
The REAL mb bro here.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Round, OKAY i mean to, me it's incredibly. Impressive they
might be old hack to some, people BUT i mean
it's Almost june and he's hovering around four. Hundred he
has eighteen. Homers he's been like a video. GAME i
don't Think Moron soto ever had anything to do With judges'.
Success he's been a monster fifty homer season, six the home,
(27:00):
seasons MVPs for almost a decade going on. Now so
the man's one of the greatest hitters the game has ever,
seen and we're witnessing his baseball peak right, now and
it's a little bit. Scary So solo on the other,
hand doesn't have judging that lineup anymore or the depths
of The yankees lineup, Overall and it might be showing
(27:20):
The mets lineup, serviceable but it's not dominant. Currently the
like sixteenth and batting in the, league but you know
their picks and carries them being. Out they're the only
team in baseball with the team eight under. Three all.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right our guest IS.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Jr, gamble the managing editor of mlbbro dot, com speaking
Of Onan. Sodo, yeah do you expect him to turn it?
Around it's been a rough road for him In. Queens,
also the enthusiasm hasn't been, there AND i think if
you're A mets, fan you're a Little you got seven
hundred and sixty five million dollars and he doesn't seem
(27:55):
to be that thrilled to be playing with The. Mets
will he turn the season around and put Typical wan solo?
Speaker 11 (28:01):
Numbers, Well, rob you said that he would struggle In New,
york and in our conversations you thought he would struggle
his first, season, right and then rebound and have better.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Season BUT i, DID i really.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
DID i said that way beforety, body, Right.
Speaker 11 (28:18):
SO i agree the man averages thirty four homers and
one hundred ofvi in his first seven seasons for his,
career so you have to, say of course he's going
to turn it around with just what some fifty games
into the, season he wanted to be the man on The,
mets so he's learning how to deal with that. Pressure
it's a little different the constant mentioning of what you,
(28:40):
know the, seven nine and sixty five. Million it's not
like he's in contention for the Worst mets signing. Ever you,
know he's still an elite level. Hitter he has eight on,
runs he's averages forty points or so below his career,
average but a strong second half can fix all of.
That what we do, Know, fellas is that The mets
are in contention to go to The World. Share he's
in The National league and they need him to be
(29:03):
his best down to, stretch not right. Now so he's
a true. BALLER i can't really say anything bad about.
Him you, predicted LIKE i, said he would, Struggle SO
i think next season will be the huge. Season but
he can still do big things this. Year, yeah that
don't count him out at the fifty. Games he could
go on.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
To ten all, Right i'm talking to the REAL mlb bro. Here.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Man i'm Just i'm Just i'm just a little. Nobody,
yeah just a little. Nobody, Okay BUT i want to know.
Something are The tigers for? Real are they IN? Mlb
are they in oral series? Contention is this a real?
Thing should we be talking more about The tigers right?
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Now?
Speaker 11 (29:40):
Brian The city of De choice on? Fire right? Now
The pistons are looking. Good and then you have. YES I,
well last TIME i came on this, SHOW i believe
it was In, april too long. AGO i BELIEVE i
believe it was In, april.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
And that you weren't.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Bad see, there you you weren't.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Bad you were not bad in the either WAS? Jr go, AHEAD.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
JR i believe THAT i.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
Picked The tigers as my surprise. Team SO i got
to watch them every day last season for the first
half of the, season AND i saw the potential with
the lethal pitching, staff they had the young talent that
was returning from. Injury they can still use some, offense
but right now they're balanced the leventh, ben hitting top
five and pitching and fielding in all of. Baseball they
(30:26):
Have School bull Of, costs who's The ace And flowerty went.
Healthy he has a stump plus other solid On SO
i THINK i Think detroit has a. Rise AND i
picked them to lose in THE alcs to The, Yankees
SO i guess that would make them world certain.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Contenders, yes all, right last question we got about a.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Minute, sure how about the most disappointing team this? Year
i'm gonna. GUESS i don't want to let. ME i
got a team in, mind and let me see what
you're gonna.
Speaker 11 (30:59):
Say go, ahead, okay because we don't Consider.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Colorado, no, no, no, No i'm not considering, Them, Ariel
that's WHAT i was going to.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Say go, AHEAD i want to hear.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
You you have to be nineteen and thirty four last
place after winning ninety one games last, year going neck
and next with The yankees one hundred and one games
in twenty twenty. Three all we heard about was the farm,
system the, wealth the richest holiday. Rushman all these guys
are supposed to come right and turn The baltimore back
into The Earl Weaver World Series. Orioles but it didn't,
(31:30):
happen And baltimore fans probably expected a slight step, back
but not.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
This no doubt it has been bad there In, baltimore unbelievably.
Bad and of course the manager lost his gig and
they'll be, changes no doubt about.
Speaker 1 (31:45):

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
