Speaker 1 (03:26):
Nice one shining Monday. I hope it's been a fun day.
If not, let's get it going, all right, So one
shining moment. We'll talk some NC double A, we'll talk
some baseball, and White's a solid number two. Maybe I
shouldn't say solid number two. That's you know what everyone's saying.
What does baseball and Rich Davis have in common? Solid
number two? Bro, Not that you're number two in life,
(03:48):
but I know your bathroom habits. No, uh, and we're
gonna talk about Giannis and uh. He looked at me
like I'm number two, You're in situating you're number one.
You know. Maybe this is tam I but Rich will
leave during commercial and come back.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Sorry a terrible digestion.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, I'm like this minute session for this guy.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Get a better diet.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I know. But I want to start the show with
two things that have nothing to do with sports, and
that's the fun of our show, right. We don't need
to force it. I saw super Mario Galaxy with my
kids over the weekend, And I just want to let
it be known any grown up, any adult doing a
critique of this on Instagram or TikTok as if they're
analyzing some type of Academy Award winning film, honestly, you
(04:33):
should bang your head against the wall. I bet your
Ryan's that type of guy. I actually agreed with Rich. Okay,
guess what.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Ask me if I like the movie. Ask me if
I like Mario Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Did you enjoy the movie? Guess what my five year
old I'm sorry, my six year old son and my
eight year old daughter did, which means I did.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It was a fun movie.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I ate popcorn.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I sat there. It looked beautiful in Imax.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Hold a little.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
About the plot line if you're worried about the plot
line of super Story. Huh, but it's everywhere everywhere where,
you know, adults have this crazy opinion or expectation for
a kids movie. Even Roger Ebert dot com say that
mediocre at best. Hey, it's breaking April records. It was
the number one movie in the world this weekend, and
it's for the kids. Like, why are we expecting more
(05:18):
than that? It's absurd? Number one observation adults, you're embarrassing
yourself by criticizing Mario. Galaxy hail Mary. Project tail Mary
number two a solid number two as a result. Well,
speaking of Project hail Mary in outer space, we're talking
about all the dumbest things. You see headlines like, man,
you see the Bachelorette, she says she's going for a
(05:41):
really tough time and it got canceled f maybc A.
She's living hell on Earth after all the backlash of
being canceled, all the bunk headlines we see on social
media and like tweets going out by politicians, all this
craziness that's going on.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Can I give you four names?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Sure? Read Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen.
You're like, who are they?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Are they Chipotle workers or no?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
These are the astronauts that have now gone further into
outer space than any other humans, and no one's making
a big deal about it. They are seeing things that
no other human eyes have seen. You know how I
know you're right because you're the first guy I've heard
even mentioned that stat to me. They're the first. Is
that a fact? It's the furthest mankind has ever gone.
(06:32):
They have gone further into outer space than anyone in
the history of our planet. And you heard it here
first from Rich Davis, and we were talking. We're talking
about Savannah Guthrie going back to the Today Show and
how the Bachelorette's really said, and how you know tonight's
a basketball game. If we lost complete sight of the
fact that it's pretty damn cool that we.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Are in outer space farther away than ever before.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I didn't know that. Am I nerd about this? You
don't think that's right cool? I think it's amazing. I
actually have been following it, but I didn't know that
little fun fact anyone anything. See look again, give them,
give them their due. Read wise with good guy Christina Kotch,
lovely Victor Glover, who handsome, handsome fella. Oh and Jeremy Hanson.
(07:19):
Jeremy Hanson, what the coolest Hanson?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But I guess we'll get to baseball.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
No.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I think that's amazing, dude. But in this time, it's
not being done in a television studio.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, like that's legit. I mean what they're filming over
in Burbank. That's pretty cool, man, That is cool. That's
big news. I guess the point is it's a shame
that Rich has to be the first one to tell
us because of all the nonsense that we're flooded with
on the daily. I'm saying, I have not heard that
little fun fact. If you know all the other updates,
then Montie, you're a little you're a bit younger. But
if you were a kid in the eighties and nineties,
(07:50):
actually more eighties, so you're you're you're out.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I am out.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But there was a time where every kid was like
ships and wanted to go to outer space.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
There was like space camp. Kids would be like, what
do you want to be when you grow up? And
like an answer would be like, I want to be
an astronaut.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And then they had the challenger that blew up and
it was sad and kids cried and teachers cried, and
I think since then it was like, yeah, I don't
know where we like spaceships anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
If you grew up in that time, that was like
the coolest thing.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
There was definitely like ten kids in your classes said I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Going to be an astronaut.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
That was definitely do you sound like it was like, honestly,
Millhouse was on to something. It was you know in
lostith Luster it was before we were born, but the
Great Space Race and you know, US versus Russia, who
could get someone on the moon. This is like a
really important narrative for a generation herself. It was actually
the Great Space Coaster. Yeah, and then then you know,
(08:46):
now all of a sudden, fans start out to twenty
twenty six like yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, there's like the eighth headline.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's like, oh, yeah, by the way, we're like further
into outer space we've ever been. Oh you know, I
saw more criticism on the equality of the photos of
Earth compared to the last time we got those photos.
That was more of a headline than what you just said, Like,
why did we lose photo quality of the Earth? I think, uh,
and it's operator I think their iPhone had a little
(09:11):
smudge on the camera.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
No, that we actually used.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Digital photos and a certain time of the year as
opposed to Actually, you know what they forgot the last
time they took the photo that the trick my wife does.
You got to put in portrait mode upside down. You
got a better photo that way. They yeah, they just
didn't do that. But hey, let's move on. It's Fox
Sports Radio. But I just think it's fascinating that with
all the headlines of you know, Baseball's back in a
big way, ABS challenges, the Bachelorette this there's a million headlines,
(09:36):
and buried amongst that is that we are further away
than we've ever been, more people complaining about Super Mario
than talking about how cool how far we've gone. As mankind,
I'll be honest. Proof is it, by the way, is
a studio. But if you're in the studio, you're complaining
about Super Mario kind of life losers seriously, but truth
(09:57):
is proof is in the studio said no one word
on it. Manzi's like, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I guess I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, and I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I mean I knew, but I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And Ryan played au sound Effect nerds, So I just
don't care. I got bills to pay, man, but I
but I'm just saying, like, is it the proof? And
I just feel like I made my point though, Yea
in the studio, I look around him and he's like, Yeah,
that's that's the cool. I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Human beaks are further whatever. Let's talk about baseball on
the eye l.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now I'm excited. Let's talk about that. Yeah, ten games Man.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Austin Reeves is out.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I know, be guys, someone's like further away and out
of space than they've ever been before. But do you
want to talk about what's Curry's return mean for the warriors?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
When the Aliens come, then I'll be excited.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Is that what it is? I don't know, Like I
feel like we're so desensitized.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
That might be we went from you know, the great
space Race as you describe it, to the nation that
cried aliens, and then people get tired of that, right,
people get telling about space stories after a while. I'm
thinking there might be something to that, like, oh, yeah, great,
where do we find nothing? You know, Oh, what's up there? Nothing? Okay?
And then you're bored? You know, so people, we've done
(11:15):
that so many times. Oh aliens, Ah, it's not aliens,
all right, whatever, Then you just get tired of space stories.
So maybe we have space fatigue, you.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Know, how this becomes a story.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The only way we care is if all a sudden
we find out, like, would you believe in outer space.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
An affair?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Women up there? No way they hooked up in outer space?
What is that if you saved that last night. Actually,
if you thrust against someone so they just keep going, Yo,
man space space ass if there was space, so you
gotta hold on tight, ma, people would care. People would care.
If there was a reality show We're sending the losers
(11:52):
to outer space or the winners or somebody out of space,
then people would care.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So I saw a reality shells.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
If there was a show called dating in space, then
we might care. I saw a show. It's like a
dating show on a on like a yacht. And when
so it gets kicked off, they have to walk a
punk love overboard. See I know that, but I don't
know the love overboard. I know the fun fact.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Maybe maybe if they kick people.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Off the space ship one a time, they have to
just float into outer space and they're gone, like sorry,
wo men live nowhere?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
No the as their age after they hook up.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, I think we would care. You're actually sixty, but
honestly rich. That's the beauty of sports, though, I mean
it does distract you from the news sometimes, and most
news is whack news. You mentioned you mentioned not actual bombs,
but f bombs on Easter and terrible tweets from the
president and things like that, right, crazy, like baseball and
(12:44):
sports and fighting. NBA takes you away from all that,
and sometimes you need that. I mentioned Joe Adell sort
of weekend Deontay Wilder sort of weekend college basketball, Like
these are all distractions. I'm not saying keep your head
in the sands, stick your head in the sand. I'm
saying that some times you do need that, though, And
sometimes when you got a lot of things going on,
you do miss a lot of these things you talking about,
(13:06):
but it is important. So I do want to I
do want to talk baseball. And you said, Joe Adell,
what do you think? What do you what do you
think the odds are of someone even getting three home
run robbing opportunities, let alone catching all three, and not
on top of on top of that it being the
significant reason why your team.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
Won zero because fans don't know how to behave Like
the fact that everyone got out of his way, to
me is the bigger story, right, Nobody got in his
way and it wasn't even close, It wasn't even on
the edge. People were literally like all right, everybody, they're
Mariner fans nearby.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Everyone got out of the way.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
The picture of him standing by himself with the ball
in his gloves.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Standing up and no one near him.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
From the perspect that shot, have you seen that? It's honestly,
it is almost like an award winning shot. Not sound corny,
but and by the way, way clearer than the picture
of the moon. That's yes. No, But but that fan
shot or whoever it took picture of him by himself.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Dude, you got an excuses, so well done?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well done, is right? I mean, when you factor in
fan interference, when you factor in the probability of three
just about home runs are being hit in your direction,
then you got to catch him, like that's a billion
to one, I would say. But well, so three in
one game. People are going to hire soon, but not
even get that opportunity. I think Tatis was it. Tatis
(14:27):
had four last year, the entire year. He had three
in one game. But on top of all that, I'm saying,
even like that, for all that game could have been
a blowout in either direction. The fact that those home
run robberies meant something as well. So what a wild weekend.
And by the way, talk about like full circle moments.
There's a low light reel of Joe Adell where he
has multiple opportunities where he reached out, had the ball
(14:51):
and dropped it over the fence, or bounced off his
glove went over the fence. He got his total redemption
this weekend. Unbelievable. What the world we live in? Someone
has his low light reel on standbys all over the place.
I don't know how they put it out. The internet
always wins, but he was that guy. When you see
the clips, you're like, oh, yeah, that's right. This poor
dude totally redeemed himself for the weekend again. Moments you
(15:12):
practice in the backyard and dream about. He had three
of them in one game. That's unbesievable. I'm more impressed
by that than the what was that stat again? You said?
He I already forgot furthest We've.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Got to paid four people in out of space.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
The furthest we've ever gone as humans.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
And this is this is the Angels, which makes it
more impressive. They couldn't get their flyover right for two
years in a row. The timing was off of their
flyover that made news over the weekend, and then their
team president threw out the first pitch and got booed.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Horrendous food.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
That was the other story. Yeah, apparently the fans will
care about winning. Boom yeah in the.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Stadium played music to try to drown out the booze.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Apparently they do, and they were pumped about that, and
we got some really great photos, like Mancy said, of
those moments. You know, I'm not giving this any juice.
But there is a side story too, all over social
media where people are confused because there's no specific rule
that tells you, like, what's the call on whether or
not they catched a ball but they fall over the
(16:10):
fence because technically the ball still went over the fence,
should that be or could that be a home run?
In that case, it's always an out.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
It's an out.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
He caught the ball, but he never came back in
he fell over the wall. But I'm saying the casual fan, look,
you gotta be real. We have baseballs number two, right,
So we have a whole slew of casual fans that
are confused by this. They're like, but could shouldn't that
be a home run?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And I'm with you, Yeah, it's not a question.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Did your hero Derek Jeter dive into the crowd to
catch a ball, caught the ball but fell into the stands. Yeah,
that's true. Yeah, but a home run a home run
is is what something that goes over the wall. I
don't know. Maybe, like I said, maybe it's new fans
confused by it because there's so many young and new
casual fans. If you catched the ball and you fall
(17:02):
over the wall that way, it's always out. Dude. You
act like this happens all the time. I saw I
saw highlight once. I saw a guy in Japan run
through the wall. But you act like we have a
whole like a lot of highlights appearing.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
When the guy's head. I saw the guy's head go over.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
The wall that they can. He's pretending that like there's
home run catches that go over the wall that happened
in Little League one time. But people the other time,
people confused by this are morons that don't know the rules.
With you, I'm telling you that this is like a
big side story all over the place. I'm not making
it up. I don't get moron alerts. Well maybe I haven't.
(17:43):
Maybe I need to reset my algorithm. Maybe your algorithm
needs to be more sophisticated about moonlanding. Yeah, I guess,
says the guy who I mean every time I look
over his shoulders some girl with some weak ass dance moves. Listen,
because my algorithm is ash Cheeks, the Mets and forty
nine ers, space space ass and astronauts, astronaut. You're an
ass man, oh Rich, No, he's just he's an ass man.
(18:07):
My algorithm is embarrassing, Ryan. Honestly, I'm just my favorite
sports teams and like girls at my wife's like you
felt like she calls the scissor all ai, I'm like, maybe,
but they're good looking. The thinking is, if you're going
to catch a home run like your feet got a
land back into the stadium or something like that, I
completely agree with you. Like, yeah, I'm gonna say there's
(18:28):
a lot of people confused by what happened and what
they saw there. Promise you. And when you're on the
ball doing the bull scroll later and you see all
these people that are saying that, you can be like, oh, like,
maybe he was right. I'm just telling you what they're saying.
I didn't think it. I watched baseball my whole life.
I'm like, nice, I thought that was amazing. Well, speaking
of baseball, here's what I want you guys to think
(18:50):
about for a second, we're going to come back and
take all your feedback. Most interactive show on FSRU today.
You also got people that are expecting Citizen Kane out
of Super Mario. So people have weird expectations and weird
ideas about what should be. I know, Bowser's character didn't
have the same character arc as a Shawshank redemption exactly.
(19:14):
So you have people with these crazy expectations. They're not
going to know the MLB rule book when they're witnessing
something that, honestly, we've really never seen before. You're acting
like this as if we've seen this a million times.
I medical site. Because we talked about home runs and
going over the fence. There was a there was a
college kid who the ball bounced off his head and
went over the fence. I'll lah remember when the ball
(19:35):
bounced off Conseco everybody, but this was even worse. It
bounced like boying, like like a trampoline, like twenty feet
in the air.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Yeah, if you haven't been that one before the warning track,
before the warning track, it.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Was like a routine fly ball comino. He lost it.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I feel like the guy had a a trampoline on
his springhead.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
McGirt.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
What was that guy's name? Springhead? Eh, Springhead? And it
went over the fence. I don't think i've seen it,
so you know, I'll show you that during the break.
But here's what I want to pose the question, speaking
of baseball, Baseball studies have shown and we're going to
read these studies. When we come back, we'll give you
the details. Baseball is now secured in that number two
spot behind the NFL. There's no doubt what he's talking about,
(20:13):
no doubt that the NFL is king by far number one.
It's like leaps and bounds the NFL number one numero uno.
But for a while it felt like NBA number two
baseball number three. That switcheroo is abundantly clear. Now it
also felt like NBA had tons of momentum and baseball
was slowly declining. Now it's almost the exact opposite. Why
(20:36):
switch spots? Why the switcheroo? What is your reasoning and
thought process behind this? Why is baseball back to number two?
And why has the NBA dropped off? Honestly, when we
were saying it, I feel like we were getting some
crazy feedback on that. And now, as of today, the Athletic,
The New York Times, Who Walt Weiss, the Daily News? No,
(20:57):
it was Carney Lanceford. Ah, they've started Carney Lansford, the Athletic,
Corny to the Athletic. Who Dennis Eckers. No, but now
everybody's talking about it because it's undeniable. I think the
momentum of the WBC and the ratings talk with that
really propelled that story and gave it some juice. Cavino
has a theory. I have a different theory. Let's hear yours.
(21:18):
Why is baseball overtaking the NBA for that number two spot?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Plus Yannis Janie today trying to get NBA back to
number two. Jannis is saying something out loud, as MONSI said,
These are like inner thoughts when a star player says
something out loud and you're like, I'm sorry, say that again.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh you're really saying that. Yanna said something.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That will make you question what's going on in the NBA,
Big time, big lee. So we'll talk to baseball, some
NBA and of course, tonight your championship game.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
March Man. This culminates tonight.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
All coming up right here, Covin and Rich Every sports

jumped over the flagpole and Super Mario Brothers true story. Yeah.
I think it was a glitch maybe, but I did it.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Predictable. Rich asked first on the flag poles.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Actually, I'm glad you found the bunny. It was a joke,
it was a fact. It was true.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
By the way, Yeah, if you're Vino and a Rich
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
If you're criticizing Super Mario Galaxy as a grown up,
you're an ass clown. And if you're not fascinated that
there's four astronauts that have gone further than anyone else,
you're also an idiot. We're gonna talk NBA and mL
being a second, I'm getting feedback. We're streaming live. You
could watch us live at Covino and Rich FSR on

(24:43):
offense to Cavino me, but I'm a Rich Davis guy,
So I mean people are on you. I guess good.
Say Mark's a smart fell Scott, Yeah, I think Mark, Uh,
where's a nevermind? I can't even say that. Colin in Canada,
you're where's a helmet around town? Helmet? I was gonna say, uh,
he's wearing one as we speak. Scott Fremy or stee Low,
(25:05):
everybody chiming in live, Alex Sanchez, Wes, Colin and Canada
were streaming live. We're chatting it up live eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. We are going to play
trivia later for prizes, and we'll get you ready for
the championship tonight. It's one shining Monday, and you know,
I just had another epfany. I was in the bathroom
and I saw another video. A lot of the controversy
(25:27):
is when it comes to robbing a home run. Rich,
you're keeping the home run in the ballpark. With this one,
you and the ball left the ballpark. And I'm telling you,
casual fans just can't wrap there goes this rule because
I'm setting them up, you bonehead. Let me talk so
Joe Adell Rob's three home runs over the weekend. Casual
(25:48):
fans are confused by this because there's a gray area
in the rule book. Right, they're just this and they're
busting out. Well, it says here, it doesn't the gray
area will be let's say Aaron Judge just playing the outfield. Yeah,
if he hopped the fence, walked up to row G
and just hung out there and caught a fly ball,
that's a home run. He went there and caught it.
But if the ball carries you over the fence, it
(26:08):
is a home run. So when they always has a
speculation on stuff like this, now it always has been
the guy fell over the wall. That doesn't happen all
the time. Territory with a home run, you're keeping the
ball in the park. There is a little bit of
a difference because there's a lot of convincing arguments. And
when you come back tomorrow and you tell me about it,
I'm gonna bop you over the head with your croc
(26:29):
because I'm telling you what they're saying on social media.
I'm not saying that it's right at all. I disagree
with them, and I'm telling you what's going on with
all the speculation on rules and different changes and upgrades
and changes in baseball, that's making it number two a
solid number two. After the NFL, Joe Girardi presented something
interesting too over the weekend. Over the weekend, Trent Grisham
(26:50):
sort of buckled his ankle with an awkward slide at
home and he says, when they change the rules, what
I really think they should do is you just have
to graze home plate because it's not a raised base.
Why should you be required to sort of touch that base.
You should just graze over it, just like you're going
over the end. You know, what he's talking about is
(27:11):
the equivalent of what they usually do in senior softball. Yeah,
like it's hard to touch that bag when you're sliding
side over it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
In senior softball. I know this because I'm not a senior.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But before we play baseball softball at the fields sometimes
you'll be a line like a chuck line right by
home plane.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I'm like, what's what's that arbitrary line?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And they don't expect your your you know, your seven
year old dad who's playing old guy softball, to slide
or get away, so you just reason you never touch
on play, you just have to pass. That's what they're well,
he was speculating on because you know the one rule,
the other rule that they might add next after robot umpires.
They're doing it in triple A baseball now is the
(27:54):
check swing, and they're using the foul lines to determine
whether or not you broke the plane. You know how
they always did he break his wrist, break the plane?
Did he crossed the plate? Now it's did you cross
the foul line. So if you're a right handed batter,
the foul line facing the first base line, if you
cross that foul line, then it's an automatic strike. Interesting
(28:14):
in the Canaar saying that they want to implement this,
there's a bunch of moving parts in baseball, it's all
working to their advantage and maybe that's why it's a
solid number two. All right? Why is baseball leapfrog which
is Covino's favorite game to play with his buddies when
he drinks good one, bro? Shut up? Why has baseball
(28:34):
leapfrogged basketball? And I have a theory, and my theory
is simply nothing that baseball did as much as what
the NBA is failing to do. And I think there's
nothing Manzi before you found the love of your life
and Sean your boyfriend. You ever go on a date
with a guy that on paper look good but you're like,
(28:55):
for some reason, I'm just not feeling them.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Yep like it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
He's handsome, got a good job, like am I not?
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I think the stars of the NBA, WEMB, SGA, some
of the younger stars, they're not doing anything wrong, but
you just can't force love.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It's like a record label back in the day and music.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
They could go to radio stations and be like, here's
our hot new artists, you gotta play their song. The
artists aren't connecting, is what. But if the artist's not
connecting with the audience, and no one's requesting that song.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
So I think it's a combination of the NBA just
having a hard time connecting these young stars to the
fan base. Doesn't it feel like it happened like this,
like it happened quick. But because we were everything was
dumping on baseball for a minute, we always defended it.
Everyone loves to say load management and this and that
and too many teams to the playoffs, and those are factors.
But I think the fans are not connecting to the stars.
(29:44):
And number two, My reasoning is pretty simple.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, you're you're reasoning.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Oh, I'll say it good. This sounds really dumb, and
I get it. That's fine. But when it comes to baseball,
right baseball. I know that if it's the weekend, the
Yankees are going to be on in the afternoon sometime.
I know where to find them, how to find them
during a weeknight. I know they're gonna be on at night.
You know it's pretty each on the Guests Network. They're
gonna be on the s nowork with this and that.
If their off is gonna be a Monday or a
(30:10):
Thursday game, they're gonna be off with the NBA. There's
no consistency that I could that me personally, I could follow.
I can never find a game like I could. I
never know really when it's on and and maybe there's
a pattern I'm missing, but I can't get a firm
grasp on when when to catch the game or how
to catch the games. It sounds dumb, but I agree
insistency isn't the same for me. I agree with Cavino.
(30:32):
Once the baseball season starts, Let's say you are a
Red Sox fan, They're gonna play every day except a
Monday or Thursday, because those are the designated off days
in baseball, and they'll be on what is it nesson
or messing in Neston, the Mets on s n Y,
or the MLB app every day unless it's a Monday
or Thursday. Those are the designated baseball travel days. Your
team's either gonna or are they playing every day. Let's
(30:54):
say the Clippers, monci, I have no cliff they're playing
today tomorrow. If they have two days off and they're
playing that is it gonna be on NBC? Is it
on ESPN? Is it on the local affiliate? Like the
schedule is a little it's not as consistent. It's not
as easy to follow, like you know when your team
is on.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I mean, I hear, I hear what you guys are saying.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
But I also think it's because you're not really NBA fan,
like you don't have a team. I know, I know
when the Clippers are gonna play. I know I'm gonna
watch them.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I mean, I know how to find out right.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But I know where they're gonna I know where they're
gonna go on.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
And I know what you're saying that there is no
rhyme or reason, especially this year now with NBC with
Amazon Prime, there's like every every day is a different network.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I hear, But I think it's if you were like
a if you're a.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Diehard fan, if you're like a big time Celtics fan,
you know how to find, you know how to find.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
So I don't know if that's it, but I think
it's a lot of stuff and it does seem out
of nowhere. But I think baseball has been on the
rise since even last year with the changes that they
made of shortening the game.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I think it's easier to.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Watch highlights of baseball on social media than it is
to watch maybe NBA highlights.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I think the players have become a little more celebratory
and even, Like I said to Comino, I said, but honestly,
in a season and a half, we've seen a full
one eight and roll rebearsal between MLB and NBA. Rich
always clowned on me as a joke, which is a
huge baseball fan too, But he would say, I have
the sports interests of an eighty year old white guy.
I like boxing and baseball, right because his should be
(32:18):
burt and he smokes a cigar. Baseball slow moving and boring,
and you know, and all of a sudden, just like that,
these minor changes has everybody sweating baseball again. But the
thing is, it's it's hard to put your finger on
it the same way. Like, why is Sidney Sweeney the
hot check? Right?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
She's good looking, but there's a ton of good looking girls.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
No, but she's also hot.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
She's talented. But what I'm saying is there's a ton
of good looking talented people.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Why her? Like sometimes you can't put your.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Favor two reasons?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Why but you don't she the only one with jubbos?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
No, but there, but she there's not many that.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Look like her.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I said to Cavino, I said, s g A right,
he's electrifying. You know, he wears cool outfits.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Great player.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Why why like why the disconnect for some fans. Meanwhile,
show Halo Ton. He's like a polite tip in his helmet,
like a good But like is show hey that like amazing?
He's just a great player. But we're all drawn to
show Halo time. I think I think the Dodgers being great.
I know what I'm saying personality wise, he didn't.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Even speak English, so he does when he talks to
Cameron Brink.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I know, but what But what I'm but what I'm
saying is I think you can't explain it. Some things
are un inexplainable. And I think right now baseball's popping
and that you can't really describe and things going cycles.
But as of today, like we said New York Times,
the Athletic, a lot of people were saying, man, it's
solid ratings are in it's number two after the NFL.
Your reasons why we're gonna get to your phone calls next?
Speaker 8 (33:54):
But enough Fellas the news of the day comes out
of college basketball. It's not the astronauts, it's North Carolina
finding their next men's basketball.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Okay, hey, Carolina has got a new head coach.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
To ignore the fact that four people have not been
furthering out of space than anyone.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Else, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
It is that Michael Malone is going to be the
new Tar Hills Ahead basketball coach, leading the Nuggets to
their only NBA championship in twenty twenty three. And of course,
the title game is later tonight between two seed Yukon
and one seed Michigan. It's all tipping off from Indianapolis

the NFL Giants, all Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has
(34:33):
requested a trade. He will not be participating in the
team's offseason workout program that opens on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (34:39):

Speaker 1 (38:17):
All right, Hey, baseball a solid number two and we're
going to tell you why in a second, But it's
time for our tire Raq play of the day. The
A's the athletics walking it off an extra inning yesterday.
I pray you to the plate and the pitch.
Speaker 6 (38:35):

The way tire buying should be all right. So we
(39:10):
still got trivia special guests up in buying giving away guests,
so stick around for that. What's the answer to my
trivia question?
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Does anyone want to take a swing now? So you
said Mike Malone, new head coach for the tar Heels,
but won an NBA title with the Nuggets. Has a
guy ever coached an NBA champion and gone back to college.
And it's happened one time and one time only, and
that is Larry Brown with the Detroit Pistons went to
(39:37):
SMU like a decade plus later. So not an easy answer,
but it's not the first time. I Mike, I wonder
if that has ever been done. And one other time
someone could call themselves an NBA coaching champion and then
they go coach back in college. It's a pretty sweet
fund said. In football, you see guys go back and
forth a little more in the NBA in college hoops.
I feel like I haven't really seen success on both ends.
(40:01):
And that's this proof right there, only one time. Now
we're looking for the proof that baseball is a solid
number two over the NBA, and we'll take your phone calls,
ratings prove it right. Why is it the WBC? The
fun fact there, It pulled over ten million viewers and
I don't even think most people even knew of the tournament.
(40:23):
I felt like I had to explain what it was
to so many people and overhype it. Yet it caught
the world by storm and pulled in over ten million viewers,
had more viewers than six out of the seven NBA
Finals games last year. So give me that momentum carried
into this season and now we're seeing all the changes.
People are excited about it, abs system, people are talking,
(40:44):
there's a big buzz and it's popping. Give me the
rivalry in the NBA that matches some type of bird
magic or Steph versus Lebron or Lakers Celtics, because there
were a rival now, like if I said, wemb An SGA,
there's no real bad beef amongst the best teams in
(41:04):
like a conference.
Speaker 7 (41:05):
Right the longest time it was a Lebron versus Steph.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah, and then we saw that play out in the
finals year of the year at the year and you know,
Lebron had that one amazing comeback.
Speaker 6 (41:15):
But I don't know your thoughts. Who do we got
Danny g All right, let's start in upstate New York.
Ken is on the way.
Speaker 10 (41:21):
Hey Ken, Ken, gentlemen, how are I A couple of
reasons I think is for is One is baseball has
gotten direct together as far as time, pitch clock, other things,
just moving the game along a little more. You know,
sitting down for three three and a half hours. People
can't do that you sit down for two hours or
so a little more doable. Yeah, and I think we're
(41:41):
as far as basketball. I think you've got to go
back to college, right, you're talking about all of the
nil and all the all that is encompassing. People are
in different teams every year, you know the portal. Everybody
goes to different team. So you can't follow the players,
and you can't follow them into the colleges as much
as you used to. You know, you have was in
one college for for three years or two years even
(42:03):
at least you got to know that person and you
could follow them into the pros. Now they scatter and
it's like, oh, well I used to know him when
he played for Syracuges, but I don't know when we
plays for you know, LSU.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
It's a great point, isn't realazing too, that just those
minor adjustments made the world of a difference for baseball.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
A pitch clock, Uh, do we have time for one
more phone? Yeah's Austin. You gotta be quick twenty seconds.
Speaker 11 (42:28):
I was just going back to the being out of
bounds whenever you catch the home run. Yeah, y'all, I
didn't I didn't hear y'all. Bring up foul bows happens
more often and has never been complained about from what
I've ever since.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Right, the only difference here is that you know, with
the home run robbery usually bring the ball back into
the ballpark. And again, like I said, I attribute this
buzz to overspeculation of the rule book from casual fans
that are like confused by it.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Best defensive gameame ever.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Yeah, yeah, it's saying We've got more Coveno on Rich

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Nice one shining Monday. I hope it's been a fun day.
If not, let's get it going, all right, So one
shining moment. We'll talk some NC double A, we'll talk
some baseball, and White's a solid number two. Maybe I
shouldn't say solid number two. That's you know what everyone's saying.
What does baseball and Rich Davis have in common? Solid
number two? Bro, Not that you're number two in life,
(03:48):
but I know your bathroom habits. No, uh, and we're
gonna talk about Giannis and uh. He looked at me
like I'm number two, You're in situating you're number one.
You know. Maybe this is tam I but Rich will
leave during commercial and come back.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Sorry a terrible digestion.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, I'm like this minute session for this guy.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Get a better diet.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I know. But I want to start the show with
two things that have nothing to do with sports, and
that's the fun of our show, right. We don't need
to force it. I saw super Mario Galaxy with my
kids over the weekend, And I just want to let
it be known any grown up, any adult doing a
critique of this on Instagram or TikTok as if they're
analyzing some type of Academy Award winning film, honestly, you
(04:33):
should bang your head against the wall. I bet your
Ryan's that type of guy. I actually agreed with Rich. Okay,
guess what.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Ask me if I like the movie. Ask me if
I like Mario Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Did you enjoy the movie? Guess what my five year
old I'm sorry, my six year old son and my
eight year old daughter did, which means I did.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It was a fun movie.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I ate popcorn.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I sat there. It looked beautiful in Imax.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Hold a little.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
About the plot line if you're worried about the plot
line of super Story. Huh, but it's everywhere everywhere where,
you know, adults have this crazy opinion or expectation for
a kids movie. Even Roger Ebert dot com say that
mediocre at best. Hey, it's breaking April records. It was
the number one movie in the world this weekend, and
it's for the kids. Like, why are we expecting more
(05:18):
than that? It's absurd? Number one observation adults, you're embarrassing
yourself by criticizing Mario. Galaxy hail Mary. Project tail Mary
number two a solid number two as a result. Well,
speaking of Project hail Mary in outer space, we're talking
about all the dumbest things. You see headlines like, man,
you see the Bachelorette, she says she's going for a
(05:41):
really tough time and it got canceled f maybc A.
She's living hell on Earth after all the backlash of
being canceled, all the bunk headlines we see on social
media and like tweets going out by politicians, all this
craziness that's going on.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Can I give you four names?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Sure? Read Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen.
You're like, who are they?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Are they Chipotle workers or no?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
These are the astronauts that have now gone further into
outer space than any other humans, and no one's making
a big deal about it. They are seeing things that
no other human eyes have seen. You know how I
know you're right because you're the first guy I've heard
even mentioned that stat to me. They're the first. Is
that a fact? It's the furthest mankind has ever gone.
(06:32):
They have gone further into outer space than anyone in
the history of our planet. And you heard it here
first from Rich Davis, and we were talking. We're talking
about Savannah Guthrie going back to the Today Show and
how the Bachelorette's really said, and how you know tonight's
a basketball game. If we lost complete sight of the
fact that it's pretty damn cool that we.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Are in outer space farther away than ever before.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I didn't know that. Am I nerd about this? You
don't think that's right cool? I think it's amazing. I
actually have been following it, but I didn't know that
little fun fact anyone anything. See look again, give them,
give them their due. Read wise with good guy Christina Kotch,
lovely Victor Glover, who handsome, handsome fella. Oh and Jeremy Hanson.
(07:19):
Jeremy Hanson, what the coolest Hanson?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But I guess we'll get to baseball.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
No.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I think that's amazing, dude. But in this time, it's
not being done in a television studio.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, like that's legit. I mean what they're filming over
in Burbank. That's pretty cool, man, That is cool. That's
big news. I guess the point is it's a shame
that Rich has to be the first one to tell
us because of all the nonsense that we're flooded with
on the daily. I'm saying, I have not heard that
little fun fact. If you know all the other updates,
then Montie, you're a little you're a bit younger. But
if you were a kid in the eighties and nineties,
(07:50):
actually more eighties, so you're you're you're out.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I am out.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But there was a time where every kid was like
ships and wanted to go to outer space.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
There was like space camp. Kids would be like, what
do you want to be when you grow up? And
like an answer would be like, I want to be
an astronaut.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And then they had the challenger that blew up and
it was sad and kids cried and teachers cried, and
I think since then it was like, yeah, I don't
know where we like spaceships anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
If you grew up in that time, that was like
the coolest thing.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
There was definitely like ten kids in your classes said I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Going to be an astronaut.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
That was definitely do you sound like it was like, honestly,
Millhouse was on to something. It was you know in
lostith Luster it was before we were born, but the
Great Space Race and you know, US versus Russia, who
could get someone on the moon. This is like a
really important narrative for a generation herself. It was actually
the Great Space Coaster. Yeah, and then then you know,
(08:46):
now all of a sudden, fans start out to twenty
twenty six like yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, there's like the eighth headline.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's like, oh, yeah, by the way, we're like further
into outer space we've ever been. Oh you know, I
saw more criticism on the equality of the photos of
Earth compared to the last time we got those photos.
That was more of a headline than what you just said, Like,
why did we lose photo quality of the Earth? I think, uh,
and it's operator I think their iPhone had a little
(09:11):
smudge on the camera.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
No, that we actually used.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Digital photos and a certain time of the year as
opposed to Actually, you know what they forgot the last
time they took the photo that the trick my wife does.
You got to put in portrait mode upside down. You
got a better photo that way. They yeah, they just
didn't do that. But hey, let's move on. It's Fox
Sports Radio. But I just think it's fascinating that with
all the headlines of you know, Baseball's back in a
big way, ABS challenges, the Bachelorette this there's a million headlines,
(09:36):
and buried amongst that is that we are further away
than we've ever been, more people complaining about Super Mario
than talking about how cool how far we've gone. As mankind,
I'll be honest. Proof is it, by the way, is
a studio. But if you're in the studio, you're complaining
about Super Mario kind of life losers seriously, but truth
(09:57):
is proof is in the studio said no one word
on it. Manzi's like, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I guess I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, and I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I mean I knew, but I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And Ryan played au sound Effect nerds, So I just
don't care. I got bills to pay, man, but I
but I'm just saying, like, is it the proof? And
I just feel like I made my point though, Yea
in the studio, I look around him and he's like, Yeah,
that's that's the cool. I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Human beaks are further whatever. Let's talk about baseball on
the eye l.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now I'm excited. Let's talk about that. Yeah, ten games Man.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Austin Reeves is out.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I know, be guys, someone's like further away and out
of space than they've ever been before. But do you
want to talk about what's Curry's return mean for the warriors?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
When the Aliens come, then I'll be excited.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Is that what it is? I don't know, Like I
feel like we're so desensitized.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
That might be we went from you know, the great
space Race as you describe it, to the nation that
cried aliens, and then people get tired of that, right,
people get telling about space stories after a while. I'm
thinking there might be something to that, like, oh, yeah, great,
where do we find nothing? You know, Oh, what's up there? Nothing? Okay?
And then you're bored? You know, so people, we've done
(11:15):
that so many times. Oh aliens, Ah, it's not aliens,
all right, whatever, Then you just get tired of space stories.
So maybe we have space fatigue, you.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Know, how this becomes a story.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The only way we care is if all a sudden
we find out, like, would you believe in outer space.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
An affair?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Women up there? No way they hooked up in outer space?
What is that if you saved that last night. Actually,
if you thrust against someone so they just keep going, Yo,
man space space ass if there was space, so you
gotta hold on tight, ma, people would care. People would care.
If there was a reality show We're sending the losers
(11:52):
to outer space or the winners or somebody out of space,
then people would care.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So I saw a reality shells.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
If there was a show called dating in space, then
we might care. I saw a show. It's like a
dating show on a on like a yacht. And when
so it gets kicked off, they have to walk a
punk love overboard. See I know that, but I don't
know the love overboard. I know the fun fact.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Maybe maybe if they kick people.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Off the space ship one a time, they have to
just float into outer space and they're gone, like sorry,
wo men live nowhere?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
No the as their age after they hook up.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, I think we would care. You're actually sixty, but
honestly rich. That's the beauty of sports, though, I mean
it does distract you from the news sometimes, and most
news is whack news. You mentioned you mentioned not actual bombs,
but f bombs on Easter and terrible tweets from the
president and things like that, right, crazy, like baseball and
(12:44):
sports and fighting. NBA takes you away from all that,
and sometimes you need that. I mentioned Joe Adell sort
of weekend Deontay Wilder sort of weekend college basketball, Like
these are all distractions. I'm not saying keep your head
in the sands, stick your head in the sand. I'm
saying that some times you do need that, though, And
sometimes when you got a lot of things going on,
you do miss a lot of these things you talking about,
(13:06):
but it is important. So I do want to I
do want to talk baseball. And you said, Joe Adell,
what do you think? What do you what do you
think the odds are of someone even getting three home
run robbing opportunities, let alone catching all three, and not
on top of on top of that it being the
significant reason why your team.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
Won zero because fans don't know how to behave Like
the fact that everyone got out of his way, to
me is the bigger story, right, Nobody got in his
way and it wasn't even close, It wasn't even on
the edge. People were literally like all right, everybody, they're
Mariner fans nearby.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Everyone got out of the way.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
The picture of him standing by himself with the ball
in his gloves.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Standing up and no one near him.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
From the perspect that shot, have you seen that? It's honestly,
it is almost like an award winning shot. Not sound corny,
but and by the way, way clearer than the picture
of the moon. That's yes. No, But but that fan
shot or whoever it took picture of him by himself.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Dude, you got an excuses, so well done?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well done, is right? I mean, when you factor in
fan interference, when you factor in the probability of three
just about home runs are being hit in your direction,
then you got to catch him, like that's a billion
to one, I would say. But well, so three in
one game. People are going to hire soon, but not
even get that opportunity. I think Tatis was it. Tatis
(14:27):
had four last year, the entire year. He had three
in one game. But on top of all that, I'm saying,
even like that, for all that game could have been
a blowout in either direction. The fact that those home
run robberies meant something as well. So what a wild weekend.
And by the way, talk about like full circle moments.
There's a low light reel of Joe Adell where he
has multiple opportunities where he reached out, had the ball
(14:51):
and dropped it over the fence, or bounced off his
glove went over the fence. He got his total redemption
this weekend. Unbelievable. What the world we live in? Someone
has his low light reel on standbys all over the place.
I don't know how they put it out. The internet
always wins, but he was that guy. When you see
the clips, you're like, oh, yeah, that's right. This poor
dude totally redeemed himself for the weekend again. Moments you
(15:12):
practice in the backyard and dream about. He had three
of them in one game. That's unbesievable. I'm more impressed
by that than the what was that stat again? You said?
He I already forgot furthest We've.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Got to paid four people in out of space.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
The furthest we've ever gone as humans.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
And this is this is the Angels, which makes it
more impressive. They couldn't get their flyover right for two
years in a row. The timing was off of their
flyover that made news over the weekend, and then their
team president threw out the first pitch and got booed.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Horrendous food.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
That was the other story. Yeah, apparently the fans will
care about winning. Boom yeah in the.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Stadium played music to try to drown out the booze.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Apparently they do, and they were pumped about that, and
we got some really great photos, like Mancy said, of
those moments. You know, I'm not giving this any juice.
But there is a side story too, all over social
media where people are confused because there's no specific rule
that tells you, like, what's the call on whether or
not they catched a ball but they fall over the
(16:10):
fence because technically the ball still went over the fence,
should that be or could that be a home run?
In that case, it's always an out.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
It's an out.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
He caught the ball, but he never came back in
he fell over the wall. But I'm saying the casual fan, look,
you gotta be real. We have baseballs number two, right,
So we have a whole slew of casual fans that
are confused by this. They're like, but could shouldn't that
be a home run?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And I'm with you, Yeah, it's not a question.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Did your hero Derek Jeter dive into the crowd to
catch a ball, caught the ball but fell into the stands. Yeah,
that's true. Yeah, but a home run a home run
is is what something that goes over the wall. I
don't know. Maybe, like I said, maybe it's new fans
confused by it because there's so many young and new
casual fans. If you catched the ball and you fall
(17:02):
over the wall that way, it's always out. Dude. You
act like this happens all the time. I saw I
saw highlight once. I saw a guy in Japan run
through the wall. But you act like we have a
whole like a lot of highlights appearing.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
When the guy's head. I saw the guy's head go over.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
The wall that they can. He's pretending that like there's
home run catches that go over the wall that happened
in Little League one time. But people the other time,
people confused by this are morons that don't know the rules.
With you, I'm telling you that this is like a
big side story all over the place. I'm not making
it up. I don't get moron alerts. Well maybe I haven't.
(17:43):
Maybe I need to reset my algorithm. Maybe your algorithm
needs to be more sophisticated about moonlanding. Yeah, I guess,
says the guy who I mean every time I look
over his shoulders some girl with some weak ass dance moves. Listen,
because my algorithm is ash Cheeks, the Mets and forty
nine ers, space space ass and astronauts, astronaut. You're an
ass man, oh Rich, No, he's just he's an ass man.
(18:07):
My algorithm is embarrassing, Ryan. Honestly, I'm just my favorite
sports teams and like girls at my wife's like you
felt like she calls the scissor all ai, I'm like, maybe,
but they're good looking. The thinking is, if you're going
to catch a home run like your feet got a
land back into the stadium or something like that, I
completely agree with you. Like, yeah, I'm gonna say there's
(18:28):
a lot of people confused by what happened and what
they saw there. Promise you. And when you're on the
ball doing the bull scroll later and you see all
these people that are saying that, you can be like, oh, like,
maybe he was right. I'm just telling you what they're saying.
I didn't think it. I watched baseball my whole life.
I'm like, nice, I thought that was amazing. Well, speaking
of baseball, here's what I want you guys to think
(18:50):
about for a second, we're going to come back and
take all your feedback. Most interactive show on FSRU today.
You also got people that are expecting Citizen Kane out
of Super Mario. So people have weird expectations and weird
ideas about what should be. I know, Bowser's character didn't
have the same character arc as a Shawshank redemption exactly.
(19:14):
So you have people with these crazy expectations. They're not
going to know the MLB rule book when they're witnessing
something that, honestly, we've really never seen before. You're acting
like this as if we've seen this a million times.
I medical site. Because we talked about home runs and
going over the fence. There was a there was a
college kid who the ball bounced off his head and
went over the fence. I'll lah remember when the ball
(19:35):
bounced off Conseco everybody, but this was even worse. It
bounced like boying, like like a trampoline, like twenty feet
in the air.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Yeah, if you haven't been that one before the warning track,
before the warning track, it.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Was like a routine fly ball comino. He lost it.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I feel like the guy had a a trampoline on
his springhead.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
McGirt.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
What was that guy's name? Springhead? Eh, Springhead? And it
went over the fence. I don't think i've seen it,
so you know, I'll show you that during the break.
But here's what I want to pose the question, speaking
of baseball, Baseball studies have shown and we're going to
read these studies. When we come back, we'll give you
the details. Baseball is now secured in that number two
spot behind the NFL. There's no doubt what he's talking about,
(20:13):
no doubt that the NFL is king by far number one.
It's like leaps and bounds the NFL number one numero uno.
But for a while it felt like NBA number two
baseball number three. That switcheroo is abundantly clear. Now it
also felt like NBA had tons of momentum and baseball
was slowly declining. Now it's almost the exact opposite. Why
(20:36):
switch spots? Why the switcheroo? What is your reasoning and
thought process behind this? Why is baseball back to number two?
And why has the NBA dropped off? Honestly, when we
were saying it, I feel like we were getting some
crazy feedback on that. And now, as of today, the Athletic,
The New York Times, Who Walt Weiss, the Daily News? No,
(20:57):
it was Carney Lanceford. Ah, they've started Carney Lansford, the Athletic,
Corny to the Athletic. Who Dennis Eckers. No, but now
everybody's talking about it because it's undeniable. I think the
momentum of the WBC and the ratings talk with that
really propelled that story and gave it some juice. Cavino
has a theory. I have a different theory. Let's hear yours.
(21:18):
Why is baseball overtaking the NBA for that number two spot?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Plus Yannis Janie today trying to get NBA back to
number two. Jannis is saying something out loud, as MONSI said,
These are like inner thoughts when a star player says
something out loud and you're like, I'm sorry, say that again.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh you're really saying that. Yanna said something.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That will make you question what's going on in the NBA,
Big time, big lee. So we'll talk to baseball, some
NBA and of course, tonight your championship game.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
March Man. This culminates tonight.

Predictable. Rich asked first on the flag poles.

seven ninety nine on Fox. We are going to play
trivia later for prizes, and we'll get you ready for
the championship tonight. It's one shining Monday, and you know,
I just had another epfany. I was in the bathroom
and I saw another video. A lot of the controversy
(25:27):
is when it comes to robbing a home run. Rich,
you're keeping the home run in the ballpark. With this one,
you and the ball left the ballpark. And I'm telling you,
casual fans just can't wrap there goes this rule because
I'm setting them up, you bonehead. Let me talk so
Joe Adell Rob's three home runs over the weekend. Casual
(25:48):
fans are confused by this because there's a gray area
in the rule book. Right, they're just this and they're
busting out. Well, it says here, it doesn't the gray
area will be let's say Aaron Judge just playing the outfield. Yeah,
if he hopped the fence, walked up to row G
and just hung out there and caught a fly ball,
that's a home run. He went there and caught it.
But if the ball carries you over the fence, it
(26:08):
is a home run. So when they always has a
speculation on stuff like this, now it always has been
the guy fell over the wall. That doesn't happen all
the time. Territory with a home run, you're keeping the
ball in the park. There is a little bit of
a difference because there's a lot of convincing arguments. And
when you come back tomorrow and you tell me about it,
I'm gonna bop you over the head with your croc
(26:29):
because I'm telling you what they're saying on social media.
I'm not saying that it's right at all. I disagree
with them, and I'm telling you what's going on with
all the speculation on rules and different changes and upgrades
and changes in baseball, that's making it number two a
solid number two. After the NFL, Joe Girardi presented something
interesting too over the weekend. Over the weekend, Trent Grisham
(26:50):
sort of buckled his ankle with an awkward slide at
home and he says, when they change the rules, what
I really think they should do is you just have
to graze home plate because it's not a raised base.
Why should you be required to sort of touch that base.
You should just graze over it, just like you're going
over the end. You know, what he's talking about is
(27:11):
the equivalent of what they usually do in senior softball. Yeah,
like it's hard to touch that bag when you're sliding
side over it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
In senior softball. I know this because I'm not a senior.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But before we play baseball softball at the fields sometimes
you'll be a line like a chuck line right by
home plane.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I'm like, what's what's that arbitrary line?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And they don't expect your your you know, your seven
year old dad who's playing old guy softball, to slide
or get away, so you just reason you never touch
on play, you just have to pass. That's what they're well,
he was speculating on because you know the one rule,
the other rule that they might add next after robot umpires.
They're doing it in triple A baseball now is the
(27:54):
check swing, and they're using the foul lines to determine
whether or not you broke the plane. You know how
they always did he break his wrist, break the plane?
Did he crossed the plate? Now it's did you cross
the foul line. So if you're a right handed batter,
the foul line facing the first base line, if you
cross that foul line, then it's an automatic strike. Interesting
(28:14):
in the Canaar saying that they want to implement this,
there's a bunch of moving parts in baseball, it's all
working to their advantage and maybe that's why it's a
solid number two. All right? Why is baseball leapfrog which
is Covino's favorite game to play with his buddies when
he drinks good one, bro? Shut up? Why has baseball
(28:34):
leapfrogged basketball? And I have a theory, and my theory
is simply nothing that baseball did as much as what
the NBA is failing to do. And I think there's
nothing Manzi before you found the love of your life
and Sean your boyfriend. You ever go on a date
with a guy that on paper look good but you're like,
(28:55):
for some reason, I'm just not feeling them.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Yep like it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
He's handsome, got a good job, like am I not?
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I think the stars of the NBA, WEMB, SGA, some
of the younger stars, they're not doing anything wrong, but
you just can't force love.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It's like a record label back in the day and music.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
They could go to radio stations and be like, here's
our hot new artists, you gotta play their song. The
artists aren't connecting, is what. But if the artist's not
connecting with the audience, and no one's requesting that song.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
So I think it's a combination of the NBA just
having a hard time connecting these young stars to the
fan base. Doesn't it feel like it happened like this,
like it happened quick. But because we were everything was
dumping on baseball for a minute, we always defended it.
Everyone loves to say load management and this and that
and too many teams to the playoffs, and those are factors.
But I think the fans are not connecting to the stars.
(29:44):
And number two, My reasoning is pretty simple.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, you're you're reasoning.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Oh, I'll say it good. This sounds really dumb, and
I get it. That's fine. But when it comes to baseball,
right baseball. I know that if it's the weekend, the
Yankees are going to be on in the afternoon sometime.
I know where to find them, how to find them
during a weeknight. I know they're gonna be on at night.
You know it's pretty each on the Guests Network. They're
gonna be on the s nowork with this and that.
If their off is gonna be a Monday or a
(30:10):
Thursday game, they're gonna be off with the NBA. There's
no consistency that I could that me personally, I could follow.
I can never find a game like I could. I
never know really when it's on and and maybe there's
a pattern I'm missing, but I can't get a firm
grasp on when when to catch the game or how
to catch the games. It sounds dumb, but I agree
insistency isn't the same for me. I agree with Cavino.
(30:32):
Once the baseball season starts, Let's say you are a
Red Sox fan, They're gonna play every day except a
Monday or Thursday, because those are the designated off days
in baseball, and they'll be on what is it nesson
or messing in Neston, the Mets on s n Y,
or the MLB app every day unless it's a Monday
or Thursday. Those are the designated baseball travel days. Your
team's either gonna or are they playing every day. Let's
(30:54):
say the Clippers, monci, I have no cliff they're playing
today tomorrow. If they have two days off and they're
playing that is it gonna be on NBC? Is it
on ESPN? Is it on the local affiliate? Like the
schedule is a little it's not as consistent. It's not
as easy to follow, like you know when your team
is on.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I mean, I hear, I hear what you guys are saying.
Speaker 8 (31:14):
But I also think it's because you're not really NBA fan,
like you don't have a team. I know, I know
when the Clippers are gonna play. I know I'm gonna
watch them.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I mean, I know how to find out right.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But I know where they're gonna I know where they're
gonna go on.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
And I know what you're saying that there is no
rhyme or reason, especially this year now with NBC with
Amazon Prime, there's like every every day is a different network.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I hear, But I think it's if you were like
a if you're a.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Diehard fan, if you're like a big time Celtics fan,
you know how to find, you know how to find.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
So I don't know if that's it, but I think
it's a lot of stuff and it does seem out
of nowhere. But I think baseball has been on the
rise since even last year with the changes that they
made of shortening the game.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I think it's easier to.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Watch highlights of baseball on social media than it is
to watch maybe NBA highlights.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I think the players have become a little more celebratory
and even, Like I said to Comino, I said, but honestly,
in a season and a half, we've seen a full
one eight and roll rebearsal between MLB and NBA. Rich
always clowned on me as a joke, which is a
huge baseball fan too, But he would say, I have
the sports interests of an eighty year old white guy.
I like boxing and baseball, right because his should be
(32:18):
burt and he smokes a cigar. Baseball slow moving and boring,
and you know, and all of a sudden, just like that,
these minor changes has everybody sweating baseball again. But the
thing is, it's it's hard to put your finger on
it the same way. Like, why is Sidney Sweeney the
hot check? Right?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
She's good looking, but there's a ton of good looking girls.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
No, but she's also hot.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
She's talented. But what I'm saying is there's a ton
of good looking talented people.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Why her? Like sometimes you can't put your.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Favor two reasons?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Why but you don't she the only one with jubbos?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
No, but there, but she there's not many that.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Look like her.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I said to Cavino, I said, s g A right,
he's electrifying. You know, he wears cool outfits.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Great player.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Why why like why the disconnect for some fans. Meanwhile,
show Halo Ton. He's like a polite tip in his helmet,
like a good But like is show hey that like amazing?
He's just a great player. But we're all drawn to
show Halo time. I think I think the Dodgers being great.
I know what I'm saying personality wise, he didn't.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Even speak English, so he does when he talks to
Cameron Brink.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I know, but what But what I'm but what I'm
saying is I think you can't explain it. Some things
are un inexplainable. And I think right now baseball's popping
and that you can't really describe and things going cycles.
But as of today, like we said New York Times,
the Athletic, a lot of people were saying, man, it's
solid ratings are in it's number two after the NFL.
Your reasons why we're gonna get to your phone calls next?
Speaker 8 (33:54):
But enough Fellas the news of the day comes out
of college basketball. It's not the astronauts, it's North Carolina
finding their next men's basketball.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Okay, hey, Carolina has got a new head coach.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
To ignore the fact that four people have not been
furthering out of space than anyone.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Else, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
It is that Michael Malone is going to be the
new Tar Hills Ahead basketball coach, leading the Nuggets to
their only NBA championship in twenty twenty three. And of course,
the title game is later tonight between two seed Yukon
and one seed Michigan. It's all tipping off from Indianapolis
at eight fifty pm Eastern time. When it comes to
the NFL Giants, all Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has
(34:33):
requested a trade. He will not be participating in the
team's offseason workout program that opens on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (34:39):

Speaker 8 (34:40):

Speaker 7 (38:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
All right, Hey, baseball a solid number two and we're
going to tell you why in a second, But it's
time for our tire Raq play of the day. The
A's the athletics walking it off an extra inning yesterday.
I pray you to the plate and the pitch.
Speaker 6 (38:35):

The way tire buying should be all right. So we
(39:10):
still got trivia special guests up in buying giving away guests,
so stick around for that. What's the answer to my
trivia question?
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Does anyone want to take a swing now? So you
said Mike Malone, new head coach for the tar Heels,
but won an NBA title with the Nuggets. Has a
guy ever coached an NBA champion and gone back to college.
And it's happened one time and one time only, and
that is Larry Brown with the Detroit Pistons went to
(39:37):
SMU like a decade plus later. So not an easy answer,
but it's not the first time. I Mike, I wonder
if that has ever been done. And one other time
someone could call themselves an NBA coaching champion and then
they go coach back in college. It's a pretty sweet
fund said. In football, you see guys go back and
forth a little more in the NBA in college hoops.
I feel like I haven't really seen success on both ends.
(40:01):
And that's this proof right there, only one time. Now
we're looking for the proof that baseball is a solid
number two over the NBA, and we'll take your phone calls,
ratings prove it right. Why is it the WBC? The
fun fact there, It pulled over ten million viewers and
I don't even think most people even knew of the tournament.
(40:23):
I felt like I had to explain what it was
to so many people and overhype it. Yet it caught
the world by storm and pulled in over ten million viewers,
had more viewers than six out of the seven NBA
Finals games last year. So give me that momentum carried
into this season and now we're seeing all the changes.
People are excited about it, abs system, people are talking,
(40:44):
there's a big buzz and it's popping. Give me the
rivalry in the NBA that matches some type of bird
magic or Steph versus Lebron or Lakers Celtics, because there
were a rival now, like if I said, wemb An SGA,
there's no real bad beef amongst the best teams in
(41:04):
like a conference.
Speaker 7 (41:05):
Right the longest time it was a Lebron versus Steph.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah, and then we saw that play out in the
finals year of the year at the year and you know,
Lebron had that one amazing comeback.
Speaker 6 (41:15):
But I don't know your thoughts. Who do we got
Danny g All right, let's start in upstate New York.
Ken is on the way.
Speaker 10 (41:21):
Hey Ken, Ken, gentlemen, how are I A couple of
reasons I think is for is One is baseball has
gotten direct together as far as time, pitch clock, other things,
just moving the game along a little more. You know,
sitting down for three three and a half hours. People
can't do that you sit down for two hours or
so a little more doable. Yeah, and I think we're
(41:41):
as far as basketball. I think you've got to go
back to college, right, you're talking about all of the
nil and all the all that is encompassing. People are
in different teams every year, you know the portal. Everybody
goes to different team. So you can't follow the players,
and you can't follow them into the colleges as much
as you used to. You know, you have was in
one college for for three years or two years even
(42:03):
at least you got to know that person and you
could follow them into the pros. Now they scatter and
it's like, oh, well I used to know him when
he played for Syracuges, but I don't know when we
plays for you know, LSU.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
It's a great point, isn't realazing too, that just those
minor adjustments made the world of a difference for baseball.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
A pitch clock, Uh, do we have time for one
more phone? Yeah's Austin. You gotta be quick twenty seconds.
Speaker 11 (42:28):
I was just going back to the being out of
bounds whenever you catch the home run. Yeah, y'all, I
didn't I didn't hear y'all. Bring up foul bows happens
more often and has never been complained about from what
I've ever since.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Right, the only difference here is that you know, with
the home run robbery usually bring the ball back into
the ballpark. And again, like I said, I attribute this
buzz to overspeculation of the rule book from casual fans
that are like confused by it.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Best defensive gameame ever.

Yeah, yeah, it's saying We've got more Coveno on Rich
