Speaker 4 (00:56):
Rich in your hearts, Hey, you go to We got
a lot to get to today. But I'll tell you this,
there's some guy in the studio that disagrees with the
rest of us. Well, and that's a guy touching the
ones and twos. I was Sam Jackass, Shame on that Jackass.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Love you Sam, Great to see you, Hey, buddy, what's
up Iowa Samuel, Big Apple Sam? And of course super

the birthday boy again at Covino and Rich the Fox
Sports Radio YouTube page. So hope you had Nick Kurtz
sort of weekend, which was impossible to have. I mean,
who has that great of a weekend ever? Think about it.
You're just inches inches away from five That's what she said, right, Rich,
(02:01):
You're just what she said, inches away from five dogs.
You have four bombs, first rookie to ever do that,
six for six, Like what a stud of a weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Hope you had a C. C.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Sabbathia each he ro sort of weekend, some moving speeches,
Hall of famers, congratulations to the whole class.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I watched some of that, Rich, that was fun too, I.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Mean Nicholas Kurtz, Nick Kurtz nineteen total bases. I was
talking to you earlier saying that even in your best
little league day, in your grown ass, you know beer
league softball, six for six with four home.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Runs is not something you could do.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
If I told Cavino you're gonna play with a bunch
of little leaguers today, you may not even do that.
It's absurd when you think of that stat line. That's
why it's never been done.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And he almost hit five. He almost hit five home runs.
That's a weekend, that's a week, that's a that's a
month's worth of stats. He did in one day. That's unbelievable.
It's the greatest offensive day we've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It's like, what now.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but
he did hit one of those bombs off of a
position player that was brought in to throw meat balls.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Hey ask jes Chisholm how easy that is to do? Though, right,
it's not that easy. But great point. I mean, still
part of the discussion, nonetheless, but six for six, Rich
is right. You can't even do that in Sunday softball.
He did that in the MLB as a rookie. So
the best is yet to come for him, So I
hope you had a grand weekend. And congrats again to
(03:32):
ichi Ro Suzuki, the consummate professional. I have so much
respect for that guy because he lives by respect and honor,
and he.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Talked about it. C. C.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Sabbathia, Captain Crunch Sabathia, one of my favorites. A guy
you look back on and you really say, and I
hate the saying rich. They just don't make them like
that anymore. A true workhorse, right, I mean an old CC.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yet as some call him, Yes, yes, C.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Captain Crunch Sabbathia, who always wore his for him like
it was some comfy pajamas for a sleepover party.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
He wore his pajamas on the mound, yet worked harder
than anyone else since then, two.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Things stand out when it comes to Sabbathia.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
First of all, how much he was sweating during the speech.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
How he's one of those guys that kept the weight
on because it benefited him. And after retirement he's all
trim and slim. Number one, he's great man. One of
the most selfless acts I've seen in sports done by C. C. Sabbathia,
where I believe he was like an inning or a
strikeout or something away from some big bonus, but he
opted to throw at the other.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Team because they had thrown at his team.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And I remember the Yankees did still give him that bonus,
but I remember thinking he's a team player, and I
just remember the come playoff time. Whether it was Milliwauk
or the Yankees, like CC Sabbathia always seemed to be
a guy in a big spot that performed at the
highest levels.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And I don't know if I heard this stat right,
but he's the first Yankee starter, it's Whitey Ford or
something to wear a Yankee hat into the Hall of
Fame starter. I don't know if that's accurate. Maybe Lefty,
maybe that's the stat. But still, he's one of those
guys that, of course you knew he was great always,
but when you look back, you appreciate his stats even
(05:17):
more because you might not ever see it again. The
way the game is today, starters were out in the
fifth inning. This guy was pitching complete games all the time.
Two hundred and fifty one wins over three thousand strikeouts. Again,
he did it all and was happy to see him
honored over the weekend. And like I said, the whole class.
(05:38):
Congrats to everybody. Billy Wagner. Not too many five to
ten relievers in the Hall of Fame. In fact, he
might be the only one him in Pagro I believe.
As far as pitchers, Dave Parker was honored. Dick Allen
and Dave Parker Son did a great job reciting his poem.
But some really touching speeches. I do want to say,
(06:01):
there's more to life than Happy Gilmore too. Those Hall
of Fames be well.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Great, but then again we do have to talk about
Happy Gilmore too. Oh yeah, coo. When I thought about
that statue, just said first pitcher. Since what'd you say,
Whitey Ford?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I probably Lefty Pitcher, But yeah, to wear a Yankee
is at into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I thought about it, and in the eighties and nineties,
Ron Gidgery's not a Hall of Famer, and then Clemens
cone is pettit's not a Hall of Famer, so key
the stat.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, they're always guys. Mussina was more of an oriole.
I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Goos Goasage wasn't always a starter, right, he was more
of a bullpen guy. So yeah, not even though if
he went in as a Yank.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So yeah, so it's really cool to see these guys honored,
and it was really great to see Ichi Row be
the first ever Japanese player, you know who. He paid
homage to a guy that doesn't get enough credit, you know,
speaking of maybe sleeping on Sabbathia's stats, but recognizing it now.
(07:08):
He was giving a lot of props to Hideo Nomo
for just opening his eyes up to the fact that
he could be a big leaguer in the States one day.
Like it never even dawned on him to play American
baseball until he saw Nomo do it. It made it
a possibility a reality, and we reaped all the benefits. Man,
that guy put up some crazy numbers, some crazy stats.
(07:30):
We were honored to watch him play. Another guy that
they don't make like they used to, and who said
he appreciated his time in Pinstripes. He thanked the Yankees,
even though he said everyone's there to celebrate CC Sabbathia.
He thanked Derek Cheter. Derek Cheater, I'm not sure he
even applauded, which rubbed me the wrong way, but he
(07:52):
said it was an honor to play under his leadership.
And he made a joke about the Marlins two, saying
that he didn't even know they were a team, but
was honored to play for them. He just handled the
whole thing well and was really funny in his speech.
No one expected comedy from each Row, but he brought it.
And it does make you, again, rich appreciate some of
the legends we got to see growing up, and Dave
(08:15):
Parker was so close to seeing his own moment.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You know, I know, you know, I think of each
Row and I feel like he's one of those guys
that I know he had little stints on different teams,
but part of me feels like all those years in Seattle,
like oh what if he would have been like a postseason.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Hero had he been somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
But man, just a guy that you're right, helped pave
the way for other international players.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Each Row, you know, is a baseball machine. And you
tell me was he funnier than Happy Gilmore too? Again,
his speech was was all the buzz over the weekend
and to.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
The Miami Mountains.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Honestly, when you guys colled to offer me a contract
for two thousand, I have never heard all of your team.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So congrats to all of them, because, aside from all
the trash TV I watched, I did get emotional doing
a little slow clap to the TV to see some
of our old school heroes recognized over the weekend. It
was a pretty cool class.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Before we get.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
To your weekend and everyone's weekend of sports and Gilmore
and everything. You said it a few times, so I
want to dissect the phraser you just said, if you
don't mind, because you hear it a lot in sports,
the NBA, NFL, major League Baseball, especially when it comes
to pitchers. My dad finally got around to watching that
Facing Nolan documentary about Nolan, Ryan m hm, Hauhl, Richie,
(09:44):
You and Covino were right. It's a great documentary. When
you say they don't make them like they used to,
is that pretty much saying everyone now is a bitch?
Are you calling every Is it pretty much saying you
players that are now currently playing these sports are soft.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I'll give you an example. Look up look up CC stats.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Right, two hundred and fifty one wins, But when you
look through his stats, he has like a nineteen win
season and a twenty one win season, And I forget
what Negro League pitcher. It was, but there was a
picture that an old school guy who put the pressure on,
like you got to win twenty games, You got to
(10:27):
be in the twenty win game club as an African American,
you got to set yourself apart and you got to
win those twenty games. Dude, who's really winning twenty games nowadays?
And that's something that he took a lot of pride
in twenty one wins to be in that elite club
and to be that it. Starters are out in the
fourth fifth inning all the time. This guy was pitching
complete games left and right. It's not an over you saying.
(10:49):
If it's true, they just don't and the game has
changed so much, but we take these young dudes out immediately,
they're not working them the way they worked a work
course like bath Yeat and in eachie Row just puts
up circus numbers. Dude, he was in the MLB at
twenty seven. He came into the MLB and still ended
(11:10):
up with almost thirty one hundred hits, well over three
thousand in MLB. That's not including the Japanese League because
otherwise Pete Rose would be rolling in his grave right now.
And he still ended with a three eleven batting average
played into his later years.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Eachie row CC. These are old school exceptions, dude.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Now, I don't know if that twenty wins is that attainable.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You're right even at Dave Parker. Look at Dave Parker stats.
What do you play twenty one years nineteen years in
the big leagues?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It's insane. You brought up that twenty win goal for
a guy like CC. Yeah, it's still possible. But as
as we stand right now, two guys have twelve wins.
Two year Yankees, Max Fried and Rodon both have eleven.
So one of those guys on track for a while,
like maybe sixteen fifteen, sixteen wins if they you know,
that's what you're sort of on track for.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, and you're like impressed. If anyone throws a complete game,
let alone a complete game shutout, it's just a it's
a different game. But it's not just the game. These
guys are not built for that anymore. We yanked them out.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
But is it always a knock on the young guys
when people say they don't make them the way they
used to, Like.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Is it a knock?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean, it's not meant to be it's meant to
be a tribute to the way these guys played. It's
not meant to knock the younger guys.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's not. The game has changed. But they're also made
of glass.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It seems yeah, maybe maybe you know, but guys like
CC look at the numbers. Look how many shutouts he had.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It's a different many complete games he had.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Can you know you see every guy, every guy out
of your pen, no matter who your team is, is
thrown at least ninety five Back in the day, only
a handful of guys through ninety five, So can you
say it's a different game. They don't make them the
way they used to, because you know the.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Way they used to.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Guys are throwing eighty eight to ninety one, and I
was like, that was some guy's fastball. Like we're they
don't make them the way they used to. But guess
what they used They never made them the way they
do now. Where you get a guy throwing splitters that
ninety eight miles an hour, that that was never a thing.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So it's I think it's a trade off.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well the guy, Yeah, they're they're not pacing themselves. They're
just flamethrowers. It's not the the art of pitching. Guys
like CC, guys like Maddox will tell you that, and
that's what they sort of frown upon, and you know
that's just part of getting old. I guess you're right, Rich,
it's a different game. But these flamethrowers are not as
crafty as the Beastie boys would like them to be.
(13:43):
You know, CC was crafty and just my type. And
I believe he had thirty eight complete games. He had
ten complete games in one season. Guy that went as
deep as he could into every game. And again, a
guy built for that.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I just remember.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I just remember, like my grandfather being like, they don't
make the way they're used to, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Like, yeah, but guess what, Grandpa.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
They got navigation in cars now and like bucket seats
and you know, like comfort back in the day. Yeah,
they might not make a car like a big, mental Oldsmobile,
But come on.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I believe Dan Byer wants to weigh in and everybody
could at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Again,
I'm not trying to tear any newer generation pitcher down.
There's pros and cons, but I'm just trying to say
that we had a pretty solid class this year and
the speeches were great and it was cool to see
what's up there.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Yeah, just a couple of things on that. First of all,
I do want to say, and I'm not trying to
be disrespectful to the Pete Rose fans or anybody out there,
I'm glad this weekend wasn't hijacked by Pete Rose.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
You mentioned that earlier.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Obviously we lost him, but the storyline of now when
is Pete Rose gonna go into the Hall of Fame?
Could have you know, we could do this over the
next couple of years before they actually decide, and that
wasn't the case. But what I think is so unique
about Sabbathia, and it's a lot of different ways, is
Number one, it's one of those trade deadline deals that
I I look as a Brewers fan that I think
(15:02):
we all love and remember and ones that stand out
this trade deadline probably isn't going to have that type
of player, but it's really cool when a deal is
done at the trade deadline for a team and then
to have it work out like it did. The Brewers
were supposed to have ben sheets and CC Sabathia for
that stretch run and Sheets got injured. So then that's
why CC had to take on the added role. The
(15:24):
reason I bring this up is because rich your Mets
were battling the Brewers that year for the playoffs, and
I remember going to a game in Atlanta the final
week of the year because I did stuff for college
football for Fox and I was in the South, and
I'm like, I'm going to go to the Braves Mets
game and cheer for the Braves against the Mets so
the Brewers could try to end their drought. And that
doesn't happen without C. C. Sabathia coming to Milwaukee. And
(15:47):
so there's just a lot of different branches of a
move that can be made like that. And then you know,
these Yankees' success in the World Series cements who he is.
But yeah, that's the other cool thing about Hall of
Fame Weekend is there's different fan bases that can take
in because if a player maybe played for one or
two or three different teams that had the effectles about it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And I think he's a great example Dan and well said, man,
but he's a great example of players I think that
we took for granted because their greatness was expected, Like
if your team was in a slump, CEC was the
type of guy that you know would shut it down immediately.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, and you just expected that from him.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And when it's so expected all the time, rich you're
not as impressed and you're not surprised, But when you
look back, you appreciate him.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And I think there's a lot of players like.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
That if you compare it to today's game, like that
we took for granted, and you look at their stats
later on, you're like, man, I don't think I appreciated
that guy enough.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I do that way in music too. We've talked about
it last year, in the year before. But because there
are additional playoff teams in Major League Baseball and because
it's hard, you got to be pretty terrible to feel
like you're so out of it at this point, because
with the third wild card, if you're playing five hundred baseball,
you're not out of it. You're like a five game
(17:04):
win streak away from you know, maybe sniff in the playoffs.
So Dan, I know you pointed out like a year ago,
and I love the narrative that you're not going to
get as many sellers and the trade deadline used to
be really exciting because, yeah, you'd sacrifice some of these rookies.
He never knew how they were going to turn out,
but you might land to Sabathia and that changed the
vibe of your team.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And right now, when half the league.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
More than half the league, is like, no, I think
we could still make a playoff run, those trade deadline deals,
I don't think you're gonna see them the way you
used to.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
I will also bring up this point because with that
year with Milwaukee, it had been twenty six years since
they've been in the playoffs. Now, with the expanded playoffs,
you're not going to have a quarter century drought. You
just it's just not going to really happen. I mean,
is a team really going to miss the playoffs when
you have you know, six spots for I mean, this
is you know, we were talking about it at one
(17:53):
point where the league only had two spots and at
that time, Ron it was still tough for Milwaukee when
they expanded it to the divisional series. But been twenty
six years and you have a team in contention, so
Milwaukee's like, yeah, let's go out and get them. I
don't think you're gonna have that now in Major League
Baseball because there's gonna be a fan base that is
craving that sort of success.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Dare I say there's less than ten teams that are
quote out of it. You look at the American League.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I know Minnesota got you got the Twins, and the
Angels a little under five hundred, but they are only
like four games out of that third wildcard, which makes
you wonder like if you win eight out of ten,
you're sort of in the mix. And in the National League,
other than Colorado, Washington, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
And Atlanta, the Miami Marlins are playing hot.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
There's six games out of a wildcard, So I don't
think teams are quick to get rid of that star anymore.
But in right, Sabbathia is a great example of someone
that brought so much excitement at trade deadline.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
There are only four teams right now that have a
playoff drought of five or more years, and the Angels
have the longest at ten, The Pirates nine, Hockey six,
and the Nationals, who won World Series in twenty nineteen
have a five season drought.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
So you know what you trade in that World Series,
they'll take that World Series for a drought anything. Yeah,
there's only a few teams that that's why baseball is popping.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It is, it is, And even the ceremony this weekend
was popping. I'm sure you guys saw some of the highlights.
It was a good watch. Like I said, there was
more to life than happy Gilmore too, and that's where
we land right now. We're getting some feedback on this too.
We'll take your phone calls at eighty seven to seven
ninety nine on Fox. But there is one guy in
the studio for sure that we know of that despised
(19:38):
the movie. Is it shame on him or shame on
the movie? We'll explain. We'll get to it and your
phone calls and last one standing, Rich We got prizes
to give away on today's show, So if you guys
want to play along, remember the number. If you want
to chime in, call us up eight seven to seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
We'll talk having a baby. Someone had a bay.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Over the weekend and it's gonna be a it's great,
it's a blessing that you know, it's all those things,
but could it be a distraction or does it motivate you?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We'll explain the pros and cons.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
There we got more Cavino and Rich Live from Los Angeles,
Life from the Fox Sports Radio Studio. Next, today's starters
in the MLB are flame throwers, but back in the day,
they were crafty, and they were just my type. And
as hard as CC threw, he was a pitcher, he
was a crafty guy. I'm not saying he was a
(20:33):
Greg Maddox by any means, but that dude pitched. It
was the art of pitching. And as we honor the
Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty five, my biggest
takeaway is simple.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Rich is simple.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's like when you look at old pictures of yourself, right,
you say things like, I wish I was as fat
now as I thought I was then, exactly right. I
feel like when you see these numbers from players back then,
you realize how much we took them for granted, because
you would kill for those numbers now.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
We just took C. C.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Sabbathia each he Rose, Dave Parker's guys like that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You just took them for granted.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
If you had those numbers now, you'd be like, oh
my god, sign them up, sign them up now.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Immediately we each.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Team nowadays has two guys that are batting like two
oh nine.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know, it's a different game.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
But again, not to sound you don't want to sound
too much like the old guy and constantly say they
don't make them the way they used to, because you
know how they used to make them durable. But they
all threw eighty eight, ninety one, ninety two tops now.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Or they were pacing themselves out. Dude, again, the art
of pitching instead of just throwing your arm out.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I'm just saying, now you get guys out of your
bullpen you don't even know their name. They're like, it's
some young dude you don't know, and he throws one
oh one. I'm just saying, it's if someone threw one
oh one in nineteen eighty eight, it would be known.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Different.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But that's a different goal. And is it a counterproductive goal?
Is is it really that great of a goal? You
don't think CC Sabatha at three hundred pounds six foot
six could have threw harder. He was practicing the art
of pitching, the dying art of pitching. But again would
kill for those stats. Now and before we play last
(22:19):
one standing, giveway prizes and we give you our review,
our official review of Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Two. Let's wrap up with these phone calls, Rich, Yeah,
let's do it.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Who we got?
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Who we got?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Danny g Online? One, let's go down.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
Yeah, let's start with Matt in West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Hey Matt your HAU show.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Guys?
Speaker 10 (22:36):
First time callers?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Hey buddy.
Speaker 11 (22:40):
So I have two points to.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
This, first one being that I kind of agree with
people being soft. I was watching a Mariners game earlier
this year and George Kirk only going to throw.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
About sixty to seventy pitches in the game, and I
feel like I throw that many playing we sports baseball
through three innings, So that didn't make any sense to me.
But my second point is like with other sports too,
specifically like football, I understand the checking the money maker
in your quarterbacks, but then you lose that next man
up mentality with stories of like Kate cam or Nick
(23:15):
Foles in twenty seventeen, where no one expected them to
do anything and they all end up in the conference championship.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
You know, yeah, you said something about the first the
first he said, a guy who scheduled to pitch sixty
pitches and then they pull them.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Covino, I don't want to. I also don't want to
sell like the new age guy that's like, you just
do good.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
But now I don't think a guy that's crafty that
throws eighty eight to ninety two even gets the look
because baseball is designed now for extra base hits and
pitchers need to throw a hundred. It's honestly, it's a
it's a blame that blame the system because some young recruit.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, it's crafty, it's it's it's an honest speculation. It's
it's fair to speculate the weekend after you see these
great skid in and you look at their numbers, you know,
because it really was a different game, then hey, the
game has changed that much. If that's the takeaway, then
that's the takeaway.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, a young kid, now,
unless you throw a certain unless you throw ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
You're not even getting a look. So they're conditioned to
blow out their arms. Essentially.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Who else we got Danny g All right, let's move
on to Bakersfield, California.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Andrew Drew.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
What's up, guys. I've just been thinking about the pitch
clock and how much does that wear on the pitcher
and make it more of it an aerobic sport kind
of more like soccer.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You know you haven't heard them playing that much though,
but you really haven't. There wasn't that much pushback. They
got accustomed to it, and I think the fans have
reaped the benefits of that, which is, I don't know,
feels more important to me. I think the games are
a lot better and quicker.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Yeah, and you know what, can we know? It's like
moving faster.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
They talk about how back in the day if you
want to be that guy that's talk about generations. Back
in the day, games are short. They just got long,
and now they're shorter again. But like when our parents
were watching baseball and the old timy times and our grandpapies,
those games moved along.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
They move so they're fine.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Who else we got?
Speaker 8 (25:13):
Danny all right? Scott in Milwaukee?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Thank Scott?
Speaker 11 (25:17):
Yeah you doing fellows?
Speaker 8 (25:19):
What up?
Speaker 11 (25:20):
I just want to tell you guys, you guys are incredible.
I lost to you every day.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Thanks. Thanks man.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
I just want to think you guys, you are spot
on with CC Sabathia. You guys probably don't have time
to bring up his stat line for the time he
was in Milwaukee, he put he basically put new life
into our franchise. If you take a look at all
the complete teams he had in about us, not even
a three month period, he was pitching on three days
the rest a lot of times. There's nobody does that.
He had no contract on hand, he was free agent
(25:47):
the next year. He's just unbelievable. Nobody will ever do
again what he did in that short period of time
is it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
In Milwaukee, he had seven complete games. The guy, Yeah
he did it all man, heo. He knows eleven two
with Milwaukee and that little stint.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
You know what a crazy stat about that is Comno
as you and I both look at his Baseball reference. Yeah,
all those years are Cleveland, all those years with the Yankees,
we all remember that like half a season with Milwaukee
because he was so impactful. We're talking about a guy
that pitched from the time he was twenty till thirty eight,
and we still remember a summer one summer of this
(26:24):
guy's life where he pitched to a one point sixty
five era. He pitched like every third day, and he
put life into an organization.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
It just shows you.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
You always make the analogy that Nirvana wasn't around that long,
but the impact they had for rock music was amazing.
The Beatles are only around for a handful of years.
CC in Milwaukee was like a summer.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, and a guy. I think he's a prime example
of someone you just took for granted. You're like, yay,
he's good, he's good whatever. No, he's in today's world,
he's phenomenal. That's why he's in the Hall of Fame.
Uh again, back to the phones. Thanks for the call
Man eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, so now Bruno and Brooklyn wants to weigh in
on Happy Gilmore Too as we oh, well, as we
find out who in the studio hated that movie.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Lea move on because this weekend consisted of, you know, trash,
maybe a lot of that again the Baseball Hall of Fame,
congrats to all the superstars that made it and Happy
Gilmore to. It's crazy to think that the original came
out in nineteen ninety six. All Right, we're all in
different places now. It's a different world, different life.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah, when they did the flashbacks, didn't Adam Sandler look
so young?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Danny, my wife and I had to pause and look
it up. Julie Bowen was twenty five. Sandler and Ben
Stiller were twenty nine when they filmed that movie, so
like we think of them as like back then when
you were a little kid, you weren't thinking that they
were only in their twenties. I felt like there were
grown ups when you were a teenager watching and happy Gilmore.
But yeah, Julie Bowen was twenty five, and again, Stiller
(27:58):
and the Sandman were both under thirty when they filmed
that movie.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
So I waited all weekend to watch and then finally
got around to it yesterday, and man.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I laughed out loud multiple times.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I got to watch it one more time, wrench because
I don't know, my mind was all over the place,
but I was enjoying it. I did watch the whole thing,
but I had some real laugh out loud moments. There
was lots of great cameos. Rotten Potatoes gave it what
seventy something percent, which was pretty high, and then the
popcorn meter was also pretty high.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
When we checked it on Friday, it was at seventy
six percent. See what it's at today? Went to meter
gave it a seventy something. But look, fans have always
supported Sandler. The critics never really gave them the thumbs up.
Happy Gilmore the original was a dumb movie, but we
liked it, so I think, and I'll make it short
(28:55):
and sweet if you didn't like it, because you're gonna
say it was dumb and stupid. How are you expecting?
I feel like that's on you. Were you expecting Shoshank redemption?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It's happy? Yeah, it's Happy Gilmore. Were you expecting Goodfellas?
Like Scorsese's not involved here. This is Adam Sandler movie.
It's more of a tribute to the original because there's
so many Easter eggs and cameos and shoutouts to the original.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
That's more of a tribute to anything.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But I found it to be really enjoyable rich and
I'm I'm sort of a grumpy guy.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Do you know what the total count was, Danny JC
If you could guess how many cameos there were in
this movie?
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Oh man, there had to have been like fifty cameos.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
I would think the number seventy four random appearances from
people in this movie.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
There was a cameo from cameo word.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I mean, if the guy was alive, he'd probably been
it right.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
It's a cold word. Yeah, he's Neil deGrasse Tyson now.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
So you gotta believe that from all the professional golfers
to Eminem to Travis Kelcey to Bed, it was.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
The return of Haley Joe Osmond, who was the funny
ass super villain.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I thought, I mean, he was great.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I thought it was so dumb that it was funny,
and that's what you expect from a happy Gilmore. And
I know for a fact there's two criticisms sitting in
the studio, one of them Spots. I don't know if
Dan Byer grees or not, because Dan Byer's a big
golf guy.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Will find out.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
But Spot earlier today said too many cameos, too many golfers,
too many unknown people in your world. Like Spot thought
it was overflooded with cameos.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
I think, yeah, they tried to throw shiny objects at
you to distract you from the mediocre movie that it was.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
And I know, Sam, but I liked the movie. I
loved the movie. Sam hated it. Sam, what was your
issue with it? I can't say the same. I thought
the movie was boring. I don't think it was. I
didn't boring. Yeah, it was very boring. It was just
phil It was just a lot like Listen. I went
into this movie. I wanted to like it. I love
Adam Sandler, I love the original Happy Gilmore. But I
just thought that the cameos there was it was so
(31:03):
there were so many they were just covering up like
a really mediocre, substandard plot. The writing was mid, the
acting was mid like. It was just ridiculous. The back
half of that movie. I turned it off with thirty
five minutes left. Oh, I turned it off. I finished
it Sunday night. This was Friday night. I watched it,
so I finished. You couldn't even make it through.
Speaker 13 (31:23):
I couldn't make it through in my first so I
would say, like you were like, I might go back
and watch it again. I would never watch this movie again.
I don't think it needed to be made. It should
not have been made.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
It would have gone.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
More service to the original was not made.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Some fun nostalgia for nostalgia.
Speaker 13 (31:38):
Was when you used in this way, it's just did you?
But what I had low expectations. I expected to laugh
out loud. I didn't think this movie was funny.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I even thought that Kelsey parts. Yeah, but his reaction
made me.
Speaker 13 (31:51):
But that's just the thing you can movie with with
all these cameos. It's just this Yeah, before I.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Watch more too.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
I actually did the homework assignment which I told everyone,
which was watch the first one so it's fresh in
your mind before you watch the second one and you
forget how dumb the first one was.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
But it had original ideas. It had this idea of
this outsider who wanted to be a hockey player becomes
a golfer. This was just like regurgitating the same crap,
and then the whole like Maxi golf part of it,
and the hips the hip flexing thing was so outlandish.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Shit that was so funny. I thought that was fact,
that the good fact had extra torque.
Speaker 13 (32:31):
And well, let's not give away spoilers, although I don't
know how you can give spoilers away for a movie
that's very spoiled, But that's beside the point. I thought
that stuff was so ridiculous. It was there's nothing funny
about it. I just was like I wanted to laugh.
There was only one part that actually made me chuckle.
Nothing made me belly laugh out loud.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Well, that's another part.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Of the discussion, Sam, you can't spoil something that we
waited thirty years for everyone talking about this movie, and
then I don't just hit Netflix expect us not to
react the Monday after.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
No.
Speaker 13 (33:03):
No, I just if people are listening, they're like, oh,
the hip they don't know what the hip thing is.
They don't know what Maxi Golf is.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
You know, shame on them.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You had you had Friday, Sentury Sunday to.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Watch Covino's right, I mean this was I'm not telling
you how to get a babysitter, go to the theater.
This was on Netflix. It was at your fingertips. It's
been thirty years in the making. Yeah, if you didn't
watch Gilmour this weekend, shame on you.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
We usually wait one week before we talk about something
everybody watched, but in this case we make an exception.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
But it feels like, what are we not going to
react to Sunday night football? Like you know what I mean,
Like it's a day after millions of people tuned in.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It'd be shame on us if we didn't acknowledge it.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
This is the part of the conversation then where I say, man,
can you believe Happy died at the very end.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Ah, you blew it. Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Everybody awaits the opinion of Dan Byer because he's a
man of reason.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
He's he's not a movie guy.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
He's not a movie guy's never really easily impressed.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
And he's a man of golf.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
But he's also a man of golf. And I know,
I just knowing. Danny has great sense of humor. I
imagine he appreciates Adam Sandler. So, dB, here we go.
What's your take on happy Gilmore too? As the world reacts,
the world, much like everything, Dan seems to be divided on.
Was it the worst thing ever? Or was it fun?
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Can I give it to you on the other side?
Speaker 3 (34:17):
You know what? Please?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I can't wait. It'll be the final update.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
That's what she said.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
All right, come on, let's get the update from what
you say about a fork, Dan Buyer.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
Guys.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
Big news of the day is Colorado and football coach
Dion Sanders revealed that he battled bladder cancer this offseason.
Flanked by his doctors, Dion and the doctors had this message,
as the coach is now cancer free.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
We performed a full robot assist at laparoscopic bladder removal
and creation of a new bladder, and I am pleased
to report that the results from the surgery are that
he is cured from the cancer.
Speaker 14 (34:55):
Rick was aware of what was transpiring and he's been
a one and down there just a blessing came to
Texas to see me as well.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
Colorado having their first camp of the preseason today. Dion
is a full go as again he is cancer free.
Some newser Major League Baseball Cubs gave president of Baseball
ops Jed Hoyer a contract extension. Tigers acquired a couple
of Twins pitchers, including Chris Paddock, in a deal from Minnesota.
Philly's all field Bryce Harper allegedly sworn the face of
Baseball commission Rob Manfred following a meeting of the team's
(35:27):
clubhouse last week. ESPN says the confrontation occurred during an
hour long meeting with the team, with Harper feeling Manfred
was talking about the possibility of a salary cap in
the game. Guardian's closer Emmanuel Class was placed on non
disciplinary leave as he is under investigation as part of
Baseball's probe into gambling. And in the NFL, Broncos gave
Courtland Sutton a four year extension as the wide receiver
(35:48):
gets a deal with ninety two million dollars. Titans released
former first round pick wide receiver Treilon Burks. Steelers let
go of Cordero, Patterson, guys back to you.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Thank you, dB.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
So many Gilmore Too? Is all the buzz, all the rage.
It was twenty minutes longer than the original. That's another
thing I did pick up on. But I thought it
was a fun, goofy movie, exactly what it was supposed
to be. And you know what will make you wait
for dB because I'm dying to hear what he thinks
(36:21):
he has. He has great golf perspective too, because a
lot of the cameo's rich unless they addressed them personally.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I wasn't certain of all these people.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Well, keep in mind this. You know what. We're gonna
take your feedback next.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Here's what I want to ask you is before we
get to our games in some NFL, if you watch
Happy Gilmore Too, which i'd imagine is most people, what
was your favorite part they had to see?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I was Sam left at nothing?
Speaker 13 (36:42):
No, I have one part where I chuckled you later, All.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Right, perfect, We'll do it all next right here. Covin
on Rich on a Monday Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
I was Sam not impressed easily, But what did you experience?
I loved having Gilmore.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
To you know what I mean. That's the thing like, yeah,
it was dumb. Yeah, it's supposed to be dumb. Yeah,
but it was stupid. Yeah, but it's so was the
original anyway, Cavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio. We're gonna
get Dan Bayer's feedback and your feedback eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
What were your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We're live in the Fox Sports Radio studio and now
it's time for the tire IRAQ Play of the Day.
The Brewers pulled out a close one fly the center field.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
That's gonna do it in that some Perkins walks it off.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Against the Marlins.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
He touches first, Coss touches home, and the Brewers beat
Miami three two.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Blake Perkins game winning RBS single Brewers win three to two.
That's courtesy of the Brewers Radio Network. You got Sandler
Tourette's what's going on there? Brewers Radio Network, And that
was our tire Rack Play of the Day. For over
forty years, Tirak has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection, with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire act dot com
(38:03):
the way tire buying should be. Now remember next hour,
we got some last one standing and we're gonna talk
about baby making the pros and cons because someone's a
girl dad.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, someone in sports. But again, the world buzzn't about.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Speaking of the Brewers with that the Brewers with that
big win, Cavino, do you know that the top five.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Teams in the National League are all within two games
of each other? It is like you would think, like
we're talking about we're one hundred plus games into the
season and Chicago and Milwaukee you're tied. The Mets got
a one and a half game in lead on the Phillies,
and right there in the mix, Danny your Dodgers with
San Diego four games behind them. So it's just really
awesome right now, National League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
So I was good.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
No, I was gonna say we could go to Ioa
saym for his big hot take on Tappy Gilmore.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
I just I just figured the National.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
League was worth noting that this five teams that are
like within a game, are you right?
Speaker 5 (38:57):
I feel like your little delay or something I put
I put the phone caller down, So I thought you
wanted to talk Dodgers really quick.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I don't know what you ever like loose signal in
your car and then then music just picks up again.
That's like Rich's brain just now. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
I was gonna say, Covino, I'm on the same boat
as Cove.
Speaker 8 (39:16):
My team is stinking right now.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
What do you mean, go to Gilmore? What are you
talking about? We were talking baseball. You're the when it
brought it up. We'll take your phone calls. I'm yeah,
we'll get Dan Byer's review.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Well let's do.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, let's.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
We'll do. When we get back dB.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
We're keeping everyone on the edge of their seat, and
of course Aaron Judge and more Dodgers and more baseball
and whatever Rich wants to talk about.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
How about that?
Speaker 8 (39:45):
All right?

who has that great of a weekend ever? Think about it.
You're just inches inches away from five That's what she said, right, Rich,
(02:01):
You're just what she said, inches away from five dogs.
You have four bombs, first rookie to ever do that,
six for six, Like what a stud of a weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Hope you had a C. C.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Sabbathia each he ro sort of weekend, some moving speeches,
Hall of famers, congratulations to the whole class.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I watched some of that, Rich, that was fun too, I.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Mean Nicholas Kurtz, Nick Kurtz nineteen total bases. I was
talking to you earlier saying that even in your best
little league day, in your grown ass, you know beer
league softball, six for six with four home.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Runs is not something you could do.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
If I told Cavino you're gonna play with a bunch
of little leaguers today, you may not even do that.
It's absurd when you think of that stat line. That's
why it's never been done.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And he almost hit five. He almost hit five home runs.
That's a weekend, that's a week, that's a that's a
month's worth of stats. He did in one day. That's unbelievable.
It's the greatest offensive day we've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It's like, what now.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but
he did hit one of those bombs off of a
position player that was brought in to throw meat balls.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Hey ask jes Chisholm how easy that is to do? Though, right,
it's not that easy. But great point. I mean, still
part of the discussion, nonetheless, but six for six, Rich
is right. You can't even do that in Sunday softball.
He did that in the MLB as a rookie. So
the best is yet to come for him, So I
hope you had a grand weekend. And congrats again to
(03:32):
ichi Ro Suzuki, the consummate professional. I have so much
respect for that guy because he lives by respect and honor,
and he.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Talked about it. C. C.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Sabbathia, Captain Crunch Sabathia, one of my favorites. A guy
you look back on and you really say, and I
hate the saying rich. They just don't make them like
that anymore. A true workhorse, right, I mean an old CC.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yet as some call him, Yes, yes, C.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Captain Crunch Sabbathia, who always wore his for him like
it was some comfy pajamas for a sleepover party.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
He wore his pajamas on the mound, yet worked harder
than anyone else since then, two.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Things stand out when it comes to Sabbathia.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
First of all, how much he was sweating during the speech.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
How he's one of those guys that kept the weight
on because it benefited him. And after retirement he's all
trim and slim. Number one, he's great man. One of
the most selfless acts I've seen in sports done by C. C. Sabbathia,
where I believe he was like an inning or a
strikeout or something away from some big bonus, but he
opted to throw at the other.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Team because they had thrown at his team.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And I remember the Yankees did still give him that bonus,
but I remember thinking he's a team player, and I
just remember the come playoff time. Whether it was Milliwauk
or the Yankees, like CC Sabbathia always seemed to be
a guy in a big spot that performed at the
highest levels.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And I don't know if I heard this stat right,
but he's the first Yankee starter, it's Whitey Ford or
something to wear a Yankee hat into the Hall of
Fame starter. I don't know if that's accurate. Maybe Lefty,
maybe that's the stat. But still, he's one of those
guys that, of course you knew he was great always,
but when you look back, you appreciate his stats even
(05:17):
more because you might not ever see it again. The
way the game is today, starters were out in the
fifth inning. This guy was pitching complete games all the time.
Two hundred and fifty one wins over three thousand strikeouts. Again,
he did it all and was happy to see him
honored over the weekend. And like I said, the whole class.
(05:38):
Congrats to everybody. Billy Wagner. Not too many five to
ten relievers in the Hall of Fame. In fact, he
might be the only one him in Pagro I believe.
As far as pitchers, Dave Parker was honored. Dick Allen
and Dave Parker Son did a great job reciting his poem.
But some really touching speeches. I do want to say,
(06:01):
there's more to life than Happy Gilmore too. Those Hall
of Fames be well.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Great, but then again we do have to talk about
Happy Gilmore too. Oh yeah, coo. When I thought about
that statue, just said first pitcher. Since what'd you say,
Whitey Ford?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I probably Lefty Pitcher, But yeah, to wear a Yankee
is at into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
I thought about it, and in the eighties and nineties,
Ron Gidgery's not a Hall of Famer, and then Clemens
cone is pettit's not a Hall of Famer, so key
the stat.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, they're always guys. Mussina was more of an oriole.
I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Goos Goasage wasn't always a starter, right, he was more
of a bullpen guy. So yeah, not even though if
he went in as a Yank.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So yeah, so it's really cool to see these guys honored,
and it was really great to see Ichi Row be
the first ever Japanese player, you know who. He paid
homage to a guy that doesn't get enough credit, you know,
speaking of maybe sleeping on Sabbathia's stats, but recognizing it now.
(07:08):
He was giving a lot of props to Hideo Nomo
for just opening his eyes up to the fact that
he could be a big leaguer in the States one day.
Like it never even dawned on him to play American
baseball until he saw Nomo do it. It made it
a possibility a reality, and we reaped all the benefits. Man,
that guy put up some crazy numbers, some crazy stats.
(07:30):
We were honored to watch him play. Another guy that
they don't make like they used to, and who said
he appreciated his time in Pinstripes. He thanked the Yankees,
even though he said everyone's there to celebrate CC Sabbathia.
He thanked Derek Cheter. Derek Cheater, I'm not sure he
even applauded, which rubbed me the wrong way, but he
(07:52):
said it was an honor to play under his leadership.
And he made a joke about the Marlins two, saying
that he didn't even know they were a team, but
was honored to play for them. He just handled the
whole thing well and was really funny in his speech.
No one expected comedy from each Row, but he brought it.
And it does make you, again, rich appreciate some of
the legends we got to see growing up, and Dave
(08:15):
Parker was so close to seeing his own moment.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You know, I know, you know, I think of each
Row and I feel like he's one of those guys
that I know he had little stints on different teams,
but part of me feels like all those years in Seattle,
like oh what if he would have been like a postseason.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Hero had he been somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
But man, just a guy that you're right, helped pave
the way for other international players.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Each Row, you know, is a baseball machine. And you
tell me was he funnier than Happy Gilmore too? Again,
his speech was was all the buzz over the weekend
and to.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
The Miami Mountains.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Honestly, when you guys colled to offer me a contract
for two thousand, I have never heard all of your team.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So congrats to all of them, because, aside from all
the trash TV I watched, I did get emotional doing
a little slow clap to the TV to see some
of our old school heroes recognized over the weekend. It
was a pretty cool class.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Before we get.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
To your weekend and everyone's weekend of sports and Gilmore
and everything. You said it a few times, so I
want to dissect the phraser you just said, if you
don't mind, because you hear it a lot in sports,
the NBA, NFL, major League Baseball, especially when it comes
to pitchers. My dad finally got around to watching that
Facing Nolan documentary about Nolan, Ryan m hm, Hauhl, Richie,
(09:44):
You and Covino were right. It's a great documentary. When
you say they don't make them like they used to,
is that pretty much saying everyone now is a bitch?
Are you calling every Is it pretty much saying you
players that are now currently playing these sports are soft.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I'll give you an example. Look up look up CC stats.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Right, two hundred and fifty one wins, But when you
look through his stats, he has like a nineteen win
season and a twenty one win season, And I forget
what Negro League pitcher. It was, but there was a
picture that an old school guy who put the pressure on,
like you got to win twenty games, You got to
(10:27):
be in the twenty win game club as an African American,
you got to set yourself apart and you got to
win those twenty games. Dude, who's really winning twenty games nowadays?
And that's something that he took a lot of pride
in twenty one wins to be in that elite club
and to be that it. Starters are out in the
fourth fifth inning all the time. This guy was pitching
complete games left and right. It's not an over you saying.
(10:49):
If it's true, they just don't and the game has
changed so much, but we take these young dudes out immediately,
they're not working them the way they worked a work
course like bath Yeat and in eachie Row just puts
up circus numbers. Dude, he was in the MLB at
twenty seven. He came into the MLB and still ended
(11:10):
up with almost thirty one hundred hits, well over three
thousand in MLB. That's not including the Japanese League because
otherwise Pete Rose would be rolling in his grave right now.
And he still ended with a three eleven batting average
played into his later years.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Eachie row CC. These are old school exceptions, dude.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Now, I don't know if that twenty wins is that attainable.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You're right even at Dave Parker. Look at Dave Parker stats.
What do you play twenty one years nineteen years in
the big leagues?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It's insane. You brought up that twenty win goal for
a guy like CC. Yeah, it's still possible. But as
as we stand right now, two guys have twelve wins.
Two year Yankees, Max Fried and Rodon both have eleven.
So one of those guys on track for a while,
like maybe sixteen fifteen, sixteen wins if they you know,
that's what you're sort of on track for.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, and you're like impressed. If anyone throws a complete game,
let alone a complete game shutout, it's just a it's
a different game. But it's not just the game. These
guys are not built for that anymore. We yanked them out.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
But is it always a knock on the young guys
when people say they don't make them the way they
used to, Like.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Is it a knock?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean, it's not meant to be it's meant to
be a tribute to the way these guys played. It's
not meant to knock the younger guys.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's not. The game has changed. But they're also made
of glass.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It seems yeah, maybe maybe you know, but guys like
CC look at the numbers. Look how many shutouts he had.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It's a different many complete games he had.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Can you know you see every guy, every guy out
of your pen, no matter who your team is, is
thrown at least ninety five Back in the day, only
a handful of guys through ninety five, So can you
say it's a different game. They don't make them the
way they used to, because you know the.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Way they used to.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Guys are throwing eighty eight to ninety one, and I
was like, that was some guy's fastball. Like we're they
don't make them the way they used to. But guess
what they used They never made them the way they
do now. Where you get a guy throwing splitters that
ninety eight miles an hour, that that was never a thing.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So it's I think it's a trade off.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well the guy, Yeah, they're they're not pacing themselves. They're
just flamethrowers. It's not the the art of pitching. Guys
like CC, guys like Maddox will tell you that, and
that's what they sort of frown upon, and you know
that's just part of getting old. I guess you're right, Rich,
it's a different game. But these flamethrowers are not as
crafty as the Beastie boys would like them to be.
(13:43):
You know, CC was crafty and just my type. And
I believe he had thirty eight complete games. He had
ten complete games in one season. Guy that went as
deep as he could into every game. And again, a
guy built for that.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I just remember.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I just remember, like my grandfather being like, they don't
make the way they're used to, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Like, yeah, but guess what, Grandpa.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
They got navigation in cars now and like bucket seats
and you know, like comfort back in the day. Yeah,
they might not make a car like a big, mental Oldsmobile,
But come on.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I believe Dan Byer wants to weigh in and everybody
could at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Again,
I'm not trying to tear any newer generation pitcher down.
There's pros and cons, but I'm just trying to say
that we had a pretty solid class this year and
the speeches were great and it was cool to see
what's up there.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Yeah, just a couple of things on that. First of all,
I do want to say, and I'm not trying to
be disrespectful to the Pete Rose fans or anybody out there,
I'm glad this weekend wasn't hijacked by Pete Rose.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
You mentioned that earlier.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Obviously we lost him, but the storyline of now when
is Pete Rose gonna go into the Hall of Fame?
Could have you know, we could do this over the
next couple of years before they actually decide, and that
wasn't the case. But what I think is so unique
about Sabbathia, and it's a lot of different ways, is
Number one, it's one of those trade deadline deals that
I I look as a Brewers fan that I think
(15:02):
we all love and remember and ones that stand out
this trade deadline probably isn't going to have that type
of player, but it's really cool when a deal is
done at the trade deadline for a team and then
to have it work out like it did. The Brewers
were supposed to have ben sheets and CC Sabathia for
that stretch run and Sheets got injured. So then that's
why CC had to take on the added role. The
(15:24):
reason I bring this up is because rich your Mets
were battling the Brewers that year for the playoffs, and
I remember going to a game in Atlanta the final
week of the year because I did stuff for college
football for Fox and I was in the South, and
I'm like, I'm going to go to the Braves Mets
game and cheer for the Braves against the Mets so
the Brewers could try to end their drought. And that
doesn't happen without C. C. Sabathia coming to Milwaukee. And
(15:47):
so there's just a lot of different branches of a
move that can be made like that. And then you know,
these Yankees' success in the World Series cements who he is.
But yeah, that's the other cool thing about Hall of
Fame Weekend is there's different fan bases that can take
in because if a player maybe played for one or
two or three different teams that had the effectles about it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And I think he's a great example Dan and well said, man,
but he's a great example of players I think that
we took for granted because their greatness was expected, Like
if your team was in a slump, CEC was the
type of guy that you know would shut it down immediately.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, and you just expected that from him.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And when it's so expected all the time, rich you're
not as impressed and you're not surprised, But when you
look back, you appreciate him.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And I think there's a lot of players like.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
That if you compare it to today's game, like that
we took for granted, and you look at their stats
later on, you're like, man, I don't think I appreciated
that guy enough.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I do that way in music too. We've talked about
it last year, in the year before. But because there
are additional playoff teams in Major League Baseball and because
it's hard, you got to be pretty terrible to feel
like you're so out of it at this point, because
with the third wild card, if you're playing five hundred baseball,
you're not out of it. You're like a five game
(17:04):
win streak away from you know, maybe sniff in the playoffs.
So Dan, I know you pointed out like a year ago,
and I love the narrative that you're not going to
get as many sellers and the trade deadline used to
be really exciting because, yeah, you'd sacrifice some of these rookies.
He never knew how they were going to turn out,
but you might land to Sabathia and that changed the
vibe of your team.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And right now, when half the league.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
More than half the league, is like, no, I think
we could still make a playoff run, those trade deadline deals,
I don't think you're gonna see them the way you
used to.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
I will also bring up this point because with that
year with Milwaukee, it had been twenty six years since
they've been in the playoffs. Now, with the expanded playoffs,
you're not going to have a quarter century drought. You
just it's just not going to really happen. I mean,
is a team really going to miss the playoffs when
you have you know, six spots for I mean, this
is you know, we were talking about it at one
(17:53):
point where the league only had two spots and at
that time, Ron it was still tough for Milwaukee when
they expanded it to the divisional series. But been twenty
six years and you have a team in contention, so
Milwaukee's like, yeah, let's go out and get them. I
don't think you're gonna have that now in Major League
Baseball because there's gonna be a fan base that is
craving that sort of success.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Dare I say there's less than ten teams that are
quote out of it. You look at the American League.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I know Minnesota got you got the Twins, and the
Angels a little under five hundred, but they are only
like four games out of that third wildcard, which makes
you wonder like if you win eight out of ten,
you're sort of in the mix. And in the National League,
other than Colorado, Washington, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
And Atlanta, the Miami Marlins are playing hot.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
There's six games out of a wildcard, So I don't
think teams are quick to get rid of that star anymore.
But in right, Sabbathia is a great example of someone
that brought so much excitement at trade deadline.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
There are only four teams right now that have a
playoff drought of five or more years, and the Angels
have the longest at ten, The Pirates nine, Hockey six,
and the Nationals, who won World Series in twenty nineteen
have a five season drought.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
So you know what you trade in that World Series,
they'll take that World Series for a drought anything. Yeah,
there's only a few teams that that's why baseball is popping.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It is, it is, And even the ceremony this weekend
was popping. I'm sure you guys saw some of the highlights.
It was a good watch. Like I said, there was
more to life than happy Gilmore too, and that's where
we land right now. We're getting some feedback on this too.
We'll take your phone calls at eighty seven to seven
ninety nine on Fox. But there is one guy in
the studio for sure that we know of that despised
(19:38):
the movie. Is it shame on him or shame on
the movie? We'll explain. We'll get to it and your
phone calls and last one standing, Rich We got prizes
to give away on today's show, So if you guys
want to play along, remember the number. If you want
to chime in, call us up eight seven to seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
We'll talk having a baby. Someone had a bay.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Over the weekend and it's gonna be a it's great,
it's a blessing that you know, it's all those things,
but could it be a distraction or does it motivate you?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We'll explain the pros and cons.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
There we got more Cavino and Rich Live from Los Angeles,
Life from the Fox Sports Radio Studio. Next, today's starters
in the MLB are flame throwers, but back in the day,
they were crafty, and they were just my type. And
as hard as CC threw, he was a pitcher, he
was a crafty guy. I'm not saying he was a
(20:33):
Greg Maddox by any means, but that dude pitched. It
was the art of pitching. And as we honor the
Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty five, my biggest
takeaway is simple.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Rich is simple.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's like when you look at old pictures of yourself, right,
you say things like, I wish I was as fat
now as I thought I was then, exactly right. I
feel like when you see these numbers from players back then,
you realize how much we took them for granted, because
you would kill for those numbers now.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
We just took C. C.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Sabbathia each he Rose, Dave Parker's guys like that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You just took them for granted.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
If you had those numbers now, you'd be like, oh
my god, sign them up, sign them up now.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Immediately we each.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Team nowadays has two guys that are batting like two
oh nine.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know, it's a different game.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
But again, not to sound you don't want to sound
too much like the old guy and constantly say they
don't make them the way they used to, because you
know how they used to make them durable. But they
all threw eighty eight, ninety one, ninety two tops now.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Or they were pacing themselves out. Dude, again, the art
of pitching instead of just throwing your arm out.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I'm just saying, now you get guys out of your
bullpen you don't even know their name. They're like, it's
some young dude you don't know, and he throws one
oh one. I'm just saying, it's if someone threw one
oh one in nineteen eighty eight, it would be known.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Different.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But that's a different goal. And is it a counterproductive goal?
Is is it really that great of a goal? You
don't think CC Sabatha at three hundred pounds six foot
six could have threw harder. He was practicing the art
of pitching, the dying art of pitching. But again would
kill for those stats. Now and before we play last
(22:19):
one standing, giveway prizes and we give you our review,
our official review of Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Two. Let's wrap up with these phone calls, Rich, Yeah,
let's do it.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Who we got?
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Who we got?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Danny g Online? One, let's go down.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
Yeah, let's start with Matt in West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Hey Matt your HAU show.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Guys?
Speaker 10 (22:36):
First time callers?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Hey buddy.
Speaker 11 (22:40):
So I have two points to.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
This, first one being that I kind of agree with
people being soft. I was watching a Mariners game earlier
this year and George Kirk only going to throw.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
About sixty to seventy pitches in the game, and I
feel like I throw that many playing we sports baseball
through three innings, So that didn't make any sense to me.
But my second point is like with other sports too,
specifically like football, I understand the checking the money maker
in your quarterbacks, but then you lose that next man
up mentality with stories of like Kate cam or Nick
(23:15):
Foles in twenty seventeen, where no one expected them to
do anything and they all end up in the conference championship.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
You know, yeah, you said something about the first the
first he said, a guy who scheduled to pitch sixty
pitches and then they pull them.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Covino, I don't want to. I also don't want to
sell like the new age guy that's like, you just
do good.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
But now I don't think a guy that's crafty that
throws eighty eight to ninety two even gets the look
because baseball is designed now for extra base hits and
pitchers need to throw a hundred. It's honestly, it's a
it's a blame that blame the system because some young recruit.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, it's crafty, it's it's it's an honest speculation. It's
it's fair to speculate the weekend after you see these
great skid in and you look at their numbers, you know,
because it really was a different game, then hey, the
game has changed that much. If that's the takeaway, then
that's the takeaway.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, a young kid, now,
unless you throw a certain unless you throw ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
You're not even getting a look. So they're conditioned to
blow out their arms. Essentially.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Who else we got Danny g All right, let's move
on to Bakersfield, California.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Andrew Drew.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
What's up, guys. I've just been thinking about the pitch
clock and how much does that wear on the pitcher
and make it more of it an aerobic sport kind
of more like soccer.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You know you haven't heard them playing that much though,
but you really haven't. There wasn't that much pushback. They
got accustomed to it, and I think the fans have
reaped the benefits of that, which is, I don't know,
feels more important to me. I think the games are
a lot better and quicker.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Yeah, and you know what, can we know? It's like
moving faster.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
They talk about how back in the day if you
want to be that guy that's talk about generations. Back
in the day, games are short. They just got long,
and now they're shorter again. But like when our parents
were watching baseball and the old timy times and our grandpapies,
those games moved along.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
They move so they're fine.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Who else we got?
Speaker 8 (25:13):
Danny all right? Scott in Milwaukee?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Thank Scott?
Speaker 11 (25:17):
Yeah you doing fellows?
Speaker 8 (25:19):
What up?
Speaker 11 (25:20):
I just want to tell you guys, you guys are incredible.
I lost to you every day.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Thanks. Thanks man.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
I just want to think you guys, you are spot
on with CC Sabathia. You guys probably don't have time
to bring up his stat line for the time he
was in Milwaukee, he put he basically put new life
into our franchise. If you take a look at all
the complete teams he had in about us, not even
a three month period, he was pitching on three days
the rest a lot of times. There's nobody does that.
He had no contract on hand, he was free agent
(25:47):
the next year. He's just unbelievable. Nobody will ever do
again what he did in that short period of time
is it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
In Milwaukee, he had seven complete games. The guy, Yeah
he did it all man, heo. He knows eleven two
with Milwaukee and that little stint.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
You know what a crazy stat about that is Comno
as you and I both look at his Baseball reference. Yeah,
all those years are Cleveland, all those years with the Yankees,
we all remember that like half a season with Milwaukee
because he was so impactful. We're talking about a guy
that pitched from the time he was twenty till thirty eight,
and we still remember a summer one summer of this
(26:24):
guy's life where he pitched to a one point sixty
five era. He pitched like every third day, and he
put life into an organization.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
It just shows you.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
You always make the analogy that Nirvana wasn't around that long,
but the impact they had for rock music was amazing.
The Beatles are only around for a handful of years.
CC in Milwaukee was like a summer.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, and a guy. I think he's a prime example
of someone you just took for granted. You're like, yay,
he's good, he's good whatever. No, he's in today's world,
he's phenomenal. That's why he's in the Hall of Fame.
Uh again, back to the phones. Thanks for the call
Man eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, so now Bruno and Brooklyn wants to weigh in
on Happy Gilmore Too as we oh, well, as we
find out who in the studio hated that movie.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Lea move on because this weekend consisted of, you know, trash,
maybe a lot of that again the Baseball Hall of Fame,
congrats to all the superstars that made it and Happy
Gilmore to. It's crazy to think that the original came
out in nineteen ninety six. All Right, we're all in
different places now. It's a different world, different life.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah, when they did the flashbacks, didn't Adam Sandler look
so young?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Danny, my wife and I had to pause and look
it up. Julie Bowen was twenty five. Sandler and Ben
Stiller were twenty nine when they filmed that movie, so
like we think of them as like back then when
you were a little kid, you weren't thinking that they
were only in their twenties. I felt like there were
grown ups when you were a teenager watching and happy Gilmore.
But yeah, Julie Bowen was twenty five, and again, Stiller
(27:58):
and the Sandman were both under thirty when they filmed
that movie.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
So I waited all weekend to watch and then finally
got around to it yesterday, and man.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I laughed out loud multiple times.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I got to watch it one more time, wrench because
I don't know, my mind was all over the place,
but I was enjoying it. I did watch the whole thing,
but I had some real laugh out loud moments. There
was lots of great cameos. Rotten Potatoes gave it what
seventy something percent, which was pretty high, and then the
popcorn meter was also pretty high.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
When we checked it on Friday, it was at seventy
six percent. See what it's at today? Went to meter
gave it a seventy something. But look, fans have always
supported Sandler. The critics never really gave them the thumbs up.
Happy Gilmore the original was a dumb movie, but we
liked it, so I think, and I'll make it short
(28:55):
and sweet if you didn't like it, because you're gonna
say it was dumb and stupid. How are you expecting?
I feel like that's on you. Were you expecting Shoshank redemption?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It's happy? Yeah, it's Happy Gilmore. Were you expecting Goodfellas?
Like Scorsese's not involved here. This is Adam Sandler movie.
It's more of a tribute to the original because there's
so many Easter eggs and cameos and shoutouts to the original.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
That's more of a tribute to anything.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But I found it to be really enjoyable rich and
I'm I'm sort of a grumpy guy.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Do you know what the total count was, Danny JC
If you could guess how many cameos there were in
this movie?
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Oh man, there had to have been like fifty cameos.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
I would think the number seventy four random appearances from
people in this movie.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
There was a cameo from cameo word.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I mean, if the guy was alive, he'd probably been
it right.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
It's a cold word. Yeah, he's Neil deGrasse Tyson now.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
So you gotta believe that from all the professional golfers
to Eminem to Travis Kelcey to Bed, it was.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
The return of Haley Joe Osmond, who was the funny
ass super villain.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I thought, I mean, he was great.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I thought it was so dumb that it was funny,
and that's what you expect from a happy Gilmore. And
I know for a fact there's two criticisms sitting in
the studio, one of them Spots. I don't know if
Dan Byer grees or not, because Dan Byer's a big
golf guy.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Will find out.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
But Spot earlier today said too many cameos, too many golfers,
too many unknown people in your world. Like Spot thought
it was overflooded with cameos.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
I think, yeah, they tried to throw shiny objects at
you to distract you from the mediocre movie that it was.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
And I know, Sam, but I liked the movie. I
loved the movie. Sam hated it. Sam, what was your
issue with it? I can't say the same. I thought
the movie was boring. I don't think it was. I
didn't boring. Yeah, it was very boring. It was just
phil It was just a lot like Listen. I went
into this movie. I wanted to like it. I love
Adam Sandler, I love the original Happy Gilmore. But I
just thought that the cameos there was it was so
(31:03):
there were so many they were just covering up like
a really mediocre, substandard plot. The writing was mid, the
acting was mid like. It was just ridiculous. The back
half of that movie. I turned it off with thirty
five minutes left. Oh, I turned it off. I finished
it Sunday night. This was Friday night. I watched it,
so I finished. You couldn't even make it through.
Speaker 13 (31:23):
I couldn't make it through in my first so I
would say, like you were like, I might go back
and watch it again. I would never watch this movie again.
I don't think it needed to be made. It should
not have been made.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
It would have gone.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
More service to the original was not made.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Some fun nostalgia for nostalgia.
Speaker 13 (31:38):
Was when you used in this way, it's just did you?
But what I had low expectations. I expected to laugh
out loud. I didn't think this movie was funny.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I even thought that Kelsey parts. Yeah, but his reaction
made me.
Speaker 13 (31:51):
But that's just the thing you can movie with with
all these cameos. It's just this Yeah, before I.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Watch more too.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
I actually did the homework assignment which I told everyone,
which was watch the first one so it's fresh in
your mind before you watch the second one and you
forget how dumb the first one was.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
But it had original ideas. It had this idea of
this outsider who wanted to be a hockey player becomes
a golfer. This was just like regurgitating the same crap,
and then the whole like Maxi golf part of it,
and the hips the hip flexing thing was so outlandish.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Shit that was so funny. I thought that was fact,
that the good fact had extra torque.
Speaker 13 (32:31):
And well, let's not give away spoilers, although I don't
know how you can give spoilers away for a movie
that's very spoiled, But that's beside the point. I thought
that stuff was so ridiculous. It was there's nothing funny
about it. I just was like I wanted to laugh.
There was only one part that actually made me chuckle.
Nothing made me belly laugh out loud.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Well, that's another part.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Of the discussion, Sam, you can't spoil something that we
waited thirty years for everyone talking about this movie, and
then I don't just hit Netflix expect us not to
react the Monday after.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
No.
Speaker 13 (33:03):
No, I just if people are listening, they're like, oh,
the hip they don't know what the hip thing is.
They don't know what Maxi Golf is.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
You know, shame on them.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You had you had Friday, Sentury Sunday to.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Watch Covino's right, I mean this was I'm not telling
you how to get a babysitter, go to the theater.
This was on Netflix. It was at your fingertips. It's
been thirty years in the making. Yeah, if you didn't
watch Gilmour this weekend, shame on you.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
We usually wait one week before we talk about something
everybody watched, but in this case we make an exception.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
But it feels like, what are we not going to
react to Sunday night football? Like you know what I mean,
Like it's a day after millions of people tuned in.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It'd be shame on us if we didn't acknowledge it.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
This is the part of the conversation then where I say, man,
can you believe Happy died at the very end.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Ah, you blew it. Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Everybody awaits the opinion of Dan Byer because he's a
man of reason.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
He's he's not a movie guy.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
He's not a movie guy's never really easily impressed.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
And he's a man of golf.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
But he's also a man of golf. And I know,
I just knowing. Danny has great sense of humor. I
imagine he appreciates Adam Sandler. So, dB, here we go.
What's your take on happy Gilmore too? As the world reacts,
the world, much like everything, Dan seems to be divided on.
Was it the worst thing ever? Or was it fun?
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Can I give it to you on the other side?
Speaker 3 (34:17):
You know what? Please?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I can't wait. It'll be the final update.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
That's what she said.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
All right, come on, let's get the update from what
you say about a fork, Dan Buyer.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
Guys.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
Big news of the day is Colorado and football coach
Dion Sanders revealed that he battled bladder cancer this offseason.
Flanked by his doctors, Dion and the doctors had this message,
as the coach is now cancer free.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
We performed a full robot assist at laparoscopic bladder removal
and creation of a new bladder, and I am pleased
to report that the results from the surgery are that
he is cured from the cancer.
Speaker 14 (34:55):
Rick was aware of what was transpiring and he's been
a one and down there just a blessing came to
Texas to see me as well.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
Colorado having their first camp of the preseason today. Dion
is a full go as again he is cancer free.
Some newser Major League Baseball Cubs gave president of Baseball
ops Jed Hoyer a contract extension. Tigers acquired a couple
of Twins pitchers, including Chris Paddock, in a deal from Minnesota.
Philly's all field Bryce Harper allegedly sworn the face of
Baseball commission Rob Manfred following a meeting of the team's
(35:27):
clubhouse last week. ESPN says the confrontation occurred during an
hour long meeting with the team, with Harper feeling Manfred
was talking about the possibility of a salary cap in
the game. Guardian's closer Emmanuel Class was placed on non
disciplinary leave as he is under investigation as part of
Baseball's probe into gambling. And in the NFL, Broncos gave
Courtland Sutton a four year extension as the wide receiver
(35:48):
gets a deal with ninety two million dollars. Titans released
former first round pick wide receiver Treilon Burks. Steelers let
go of Cordero, Patterson, guys back to you.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Thank you, dB.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
So many Gilmore Too? Is all the buzz, all the rage.
It was twenty minutes longer than the original. That's another
thing I did pick up on. But I thought it
was a fun, goofy movie, exactly what it was supposed
to be. And you know what will make you wait
for dB because I'm dying to hear what he thinks
(36:21):
he has. He has great golf perspective too, because a
lot of the cameo's rich unless they addressed them personally.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I wasn't certain of all these people.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Well, keep in mind this. You know what. We're gonna
take your feedback next.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Here's what I want to ask you is before we
get to our games in some NFL, if you watch
Happy Gilmore Too, which i'd imagine is most people, what
was your favorite part they had to see?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I was Sam left at nothing?
Speaker 13 (36:42):
No, I have one part where I chuckled you later, All.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Right, perfect, We'll do it all next right here. Covin
on Rich on a Monday Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
I was Sam not impressed easily, But what did you experience?
I loved having Gilmore.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
To you know what I mean. That's the thing like, yeah,
it was dumb. Yeah, it's supposed to be dumb. Yeah,
but it was stupid. Yeah, but it's so was the
original anyway, Cavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio. We're gonna
get Dan Bayer's feedback and your feedback eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
What were your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We're live in the Fox Sports Radio studio and now
it's time for the tire IRAQ Play of the Day.
The Brewers pulled out a close one fly the center field.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
That's gonna do it in that some Perkins walks it off.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Against the Marlins.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
He touches first, Coss touches home, and the Brewers beat
Miami three two.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Blake Perkins game winning RBS single Brewers win three to two.
That's courtesy of the Brewers Radio Network. You got Sandler
Tourette's what's going on there? Brewers Radio Network, And that
was our tire Rack Play of the Day. For over
forty years, Tirak has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection, with convenient

(38:03):
the way tire buying should be. Now remember next hour,
we got some last one standing and we're gonna talk
about baby making the pros and cons because someone's a
girl dad.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, someone in sports. But again, the world buzzn't about.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Speaking of the Brewers with that the Brewers with that
big win, Cavino, do you know that the top five.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Teams in the National League are all within two games
of each other? It is like you would think, like
we're talking about we're one hundred plus games into the
season and Chicago and Milwaukee you're tied. The Mets got
a one and a half game in lead on the Phillies,
and right there in the mix, Danny your Dodgers with
San Diego four games behind them. So it's just really
awesome right now, National League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
So I was good.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
No, I was gonna say we could go to Ioa
saym for his big hot take on Tappy Gilmore.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
I just I just figured the National.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
League was worth noting that this five teams that are
like within a game, are you right?
Speaker 5 (38:57):
I feel like your little delay or something I put
I put the phone caller down, So I thought you
wanted to talk Dodgers really quick.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I don't know what you ever like loose signal in
your car and then then music just picks up again.
That's like Rich's brain just now. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
I was gonna say, Covino, I'm on the same boat
as Cove.
Speaker 8 (39:16):
My team is stinking right now.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
What do you mean, go to Gilmore? What are you
talking about? We were talking baseball. You're the when it
brought it up. We'll take your phone calls. I'm yeah,
we'll get Dan Byer's review.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Well let's do.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah, let's.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
We'll do. When we get back dB.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
We're keeping everyone on the edge of their seat, and
of course Aaron Judge and more Dodgers and more baseball
and whatever Rich wants to talk about.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
How about that?
Speaker 8 (39:45):
All right?
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio. Hope you
had a great weekend and Nick Kurtz start of weekend.
We will be right back
