Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, you didn't turn my mic on?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't think is it? Oh the light mus broke? Yeah,
you're on. Oh oh gosh, the light's not work. Well
we can hear us.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
I hope. Hey, if you can't hear us, I'd like
to say these words that I learned from George Carlin.
Uh no, sorry, I mean Wednesday? Right? Is that lights out?
Just so we're clear? Oh no, yeah, so I don't
know that I'm on. It was working on, It was
working yesterday. Hi, everybody, it's Levac and Gone line from
the GT Toys studios. That's Toys with the Z. They

(00:47):
are not responsible for the lights. I can tell you
that it's not GT Toys responsibility. They are completely opsidate
and current on everything they owe us for the studio.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
You don't people don't realize that now that that light
us off in that studio and Buddy Promotions sales, a
big show can walk in now.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
I think the outside is on the inside. Is it on?
So like like tomorrow morning, Doug might just sit here
and stare off like we're trained, like we're Pavlov dogs.
Like it's not radio hosts don't know any we we
know everything and nothing all at once.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Who put the question mark right?

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Everyone knows Ron just reads it. Yeah, you know what
this could be a part of. Have you seen the
construction of this building? Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Very confusing, is it?

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Do we know who's coming in? There's another company coming in,
like as a neighbor, right, yeah, I think there's.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Two of them coming in.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
And then like sometimes I feel like they're working on
one side of the building. Then I feel like I
went to the wrong room. Where's the bathroom? Lots happening
and they're.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Putting a wall just outside the bathroom door.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yes, that's what I saw today.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
I ran into a dude who was trying to build
a wall. That poor dude is he learned He learned
something today. He learned that this is this uh well
BacT just you know, not just built for speed some power,
len he'll learn I was like, oh man, sorry out here,
he's just looking at me all days. All right, He's
like thumbs up, all right, cool, got to speak? Uh
you know what speaks? Volumes winning eleven to two over

(02:10):
the Mariners. That's what the New York Yankees did last night.
We know we've been talking, you know, magic numbers and
all these cool things. Something about him forty home runs
in a season feels pretty good. Some about him home
runs in all thirty major league ballpark's pretty cool. So
Juan Soto did yesterday with his home run, he joins

(02:33):
other players, do you want to try?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
And how long is the list there?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
He is the sixth person to have a home run
in all thirty current Major League ballpark. Wan Soda, Well,
that's that's yeah, that's one, this one. Yeah, Bryce Harper,
no no, Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, no, no, no, no,
Mike Trout still no wow.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Oh for three, give us the list.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Matt Olsen, Randall, Gritschuk, Many Machado, Carlos Santana and also
Yankee gian Carlo Stinton.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Pitiful effort by me, been very cool by Wan Soda.
Does it count if John Carlo hit those when his
name was Mike?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yes? Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
That also means now that like you know, and with
the Yankees, like there's a lot you know, obviously, here's
he's a lot of history. You talk about your championships.
These are two Yankee teammates. They both have forty or
more home runs of the same season. The first one
is to do it since nineteen sixty one, very impressive
Mantle and Maris and then in nineteen twenty seven, nineteen

(03:42):
thirty and nineteen thirty one, Baby Ruth and Luke Garrett
it forty plus home runs each same season. What's up?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
See you as a Yankee fan? You hear those stats,
that is the first World Series.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
We're gonna win the World Series.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
That's the first thing that you might remember from last
night's game. You're gonna remember it Soto and the stat
and the history that he made and all that. Maybe
he's the majority of the headlines. And I think most
Yankee fans and New York sports fans are absolutely thinking
about that headline from last night's game. But if you
don't have a true rooting interest in the game, maybe
you're not a huge Yankee fan, or you're not an
a Mariner fan.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
The Oils by the way, ten nothing was it? Yeah, Okay,
I just says you're about to upset me. I figured, no,
I was.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Not gonna upset you. What I was going to say.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
What I was going to say is that I'm moving
into this world later this year, that I'm moving into
the t ball coach world. The hell was Victor Roeblaze
doing yesterday. I see this world coming that the four
and five year old's gonna be out there and they're
gonna start taking off on the bass pass and nobody's
gonna know where, and nobody's gonna stop. That is a
T ball like play from Victor Roblaze last night. So

(04:47):
you're telling me there's two outsc there's two outs, it's
a three to zero count. I got this. I still
say a lot the other day. I'm gonna steal home
like Benny the Jet Rodriguez.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Victor, get back here.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
No, every kid gets that bat. No get back.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Parents are laughing, they're getting their phones out. Look at
crazy Victor try to steal home. That was a T
baller like play last night from Victor room. Here's three
O County sticking out to steal.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
It was one of those like he thinks he's not
paying attention, and that I mean to an degree though
if you think about it, these are this is all
kind of the Red Sox fault. Well, remember they stole
so many bases on the Yankees that one weekend. Now
everybody thinks you can steal all the time.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
This is legit the kids showed up for a T
ball I don't know the rules? Dad, What do you mean?
I just can't run home?

Speaker 4 (05:37):
And I feel like, I mean you can. It just
doesn't end well, you can do it, It just does not.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I can't wait to nickname some kid Victor Roeblace the
first T ball game.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
I'm out there all right, And how many of the
parents actually will understand what the heck you're talking? None?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
The parent who gets that joke will be my friend
and he will be my coach. Whatever kid tries to
steal home in the Glenville Literal League coming up T ball?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
When is that? Do you already sign up?

Speaker 5 (06:01):
No?

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I think it's the spring. I think it's what is this?
What is September?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I think I'm a few months away, but that I
will remember that play when my kid puts the first
tee ball jersey on about if he tries to pull
a Victor Roblace trying to steal home in the first inning.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
All I will say to you, as a as a
survivor of T ball coaching survivor, do not agree to
be in the catcher's position. Do not stand back behind
the tee no matter what they ask you to do,
no matter what they promise you. That is the most

(06:35):
dangerous spot in any sport. Those for me, it was
little girls. Those little girls hit me in the shins
so many times by backflips, tosses, some of them just
spinning around in circles with their bat while before they
get up. Don't anyone coaching t ball. Stay away. You
do not want to be anywhere near the tee. You

(06:56):
want to be in the outfield. You're safe in the outfield,
all right, Never get to the outfield. Still, your job
in the outfield is hey, stop picking that grass. I know,
I know it's a butterfly. No, yeah, it's not. Stop
wrestling him. No, that's your job in the outfield.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Victor, it's a three to zero count. Stay here at third.
I know you see, Mom, I don't. It's your older
brother over. No what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's the first in eat you're playing the Yankees go
back to.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I can't believe that happened. I will not forget that.
I look, well, all other stuff is out there, but
I will never forget him trying to do that.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Last night, the two people who had the under I
was excited about it, talk about that later, well after
four forty five. But listen, the Yankees' bats came alive,
big Judge, look good, everybody look good. I love it.
Listen when when I can look at the Yankees' stat
line and you're five for twelve with runners in the

(07:48):
square position. Rizzo, Judge, Sodo, Cabrera, Chisel, do mingas well. Everybody.
Come on, everybody's looking good, getting good at bats. It's
a good day. Come on, man, it's a good day.
You know what the magic numbers are the Yankees and Clincher.
Playoff birth is right now? Five? No playoffs, playoff birth,
not even the not even the East.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Just answer is it two?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's one? It was three yesterday. But oddly enough a
couple of teams lost yesterday. Okay, and uh here and
away we go? Where on our way? Where this postseason?
I mean, I told you I put thought in this.
I put real thought into what it's like to be
a normal baseball fan and not just like, wow, we're
not the most dominant team. We have to whatever. I'm

(08:32):
excited because the Yankees are going to go to the
postseason right now, they actually control their own destiny on
where they would be seeded. They they are the only
American League team who can do that, and one game
away from from clinching their way in and then but
nine games away from number one seed. And I believe

(08:55):
it's down to four for the actual I'm sorry, might
be eight for the divisional.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, that's harder to figure out what the series coming
up with Baltimore, But the point would be.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
The same if the Yankees. Anytime the Yankees win and
and the Orioles win, it it pushes. But anytime the
Yankees winning, the Oorls lose, like last night, and it's
two games. If the Yankees win, actually the Yankees win,
one game comes off. If the Yankees win and the
Oils lose, two games come off. That's how you do.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I enjoyed that t ball talk much better than my
Orioles playing terrible baseball recently.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
The Orioles control their destiny for the wild card. So
if that were going to compliment, no, yeah, that's not.
It's it's postseason dance, my friend. So right now, the
Orioles magic number for the sixth and final seed wild
Card three is six games, seven for five, nine for four.

(09:55):
But like the the way they keep the way they
keep tracking, a lot of sights is it's the number,
and then some of them it's like, do not control
own destiny. So like the Yankees control their own destiny
all the way up to the one seed, the Orioles
control their own destiny up to the top wildcard seed.
They would need the Yankees to fall on their face
plus win, like they need help to take the East. Now,

(10:18):
this is what I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
It didn't make me feel better. I don't think that
was the point of being trying to feel better either.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Actually was a little bit there. If I told you
before the season started, even though you were ridiculous and
thought the Oriols would win the East, if I told you, hey,
you're gonna have the number one wildcard, you take that now,
wouldn't you know?

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Because they won the division last year, they won over
one hundred games last season, they should have been considered
to be the favorite to win the division this year.
I don't think I mean spoiled by that. Take If
you told me the Orioles won one hundred and one
games last year and the Yankees didn't even make the
postseason and the next season, I'm going to flip around
and say I should be happy if the Orioles get
the number one wildcard.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
No, you wouldn't just take that begin of the year,
guaranteed postseason games.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's okay, that's it's that's a different question. If you guarantee,
if you guarantee me a postseason spot.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
If the Yankees tonight they're in the postseason, you celebrate,
right The Yankees usually don't. That's things saying. We're fans.
We're not.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
As a fan, I tell you before the season starts,
Oriols are going to the postseason, I would be happy,
but not. There's there's levels of happy. I would be happy.
I could be happier one hundred of what games they're
not out of it. I'm not kidding what Your point
is very well taken by non oriol And Yankee fans.

(11:37):
Everything he laid out there is mathematically correct, factually correct.
I'm not ready to put up the white flag. I
don't think the oriel fans are. I'm not ready to
have this conversation that the Ale East is officially over.
We got a series. I did the WEI as a
rare guys. We had just dropped. We got a series
coming up against New York. You're fighting that one. You
figure out what Craig Kimberl's doing. Craig Kimberll just got

(11:59):
sent to designated for assignment. They can figure out a closer.
I'm not ready to conceive the al East quite yet.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Not yet.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
You do realize though it could be over before that.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I do realize that, and I'm trying not to step
it in that reality quite yet. All right, all right,
all right, let's I'm gonna I'm gonna let you go
because you've been a little high strung lately. You've been
a little i mean, lived my life that everybody's okay,
everybody back down, No, no, put the tasers away.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Guzie bears, Okay, everything's all right. Little angry lately, ev
his berries swim with that stick. Get it down, kid,
Live there for a few more days than can. There
was m there was something that happened last night that
if you're a Yankee fan, you probably shouldn't be super
happy about. Would you please give me the do you
do you have the question of the answer, just the answer.

(12:53):
I pulled the audio. I think you know what I
got the I got the whole thing here. Yeah, after
the game, bon Soto's now hit a home run in
all thirty big league parks, and this is the interaction
with the press after.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
The game often spring training about wanting to home er
in every ballpark?

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Why was that important to you?

Speaker 6 (13:10):
I feel that's I mean, it's a great feeling for me.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
I think you know.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
It's so many different ballparks, see so many different dimations. Uh,
I just I just want to get older and check them,
you know. Uh, what a basic way to go with
the free agency with old teddy Homers, the old teddy
bullpars checking.

Speaker 7 (13:29):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
When you say there all the dimensions, Oh, it's good.
What a great way to go to free agency with
all thirty ballparks checked off. It's like it's like, I know,
I know, we're not married. I know, I like, I know.
It's kind of a summer flame. I know. But you
don't have to let me know that you're going Like,

(13:51):
you don't have to keep reminding me when you go home,
like you can't. You don't have to keep reminding me
that it's almost over. Okay, we got a lot of,
as guy's would say, a lot of real minutes left.
This really ship, mister Soto, what are you doing? I
I don't know if he's gonna be a Yankee after
this year. You gotta win. It's a win now situation,
right because you don't know if SODA's gonna stay.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's always it's always a win now. The Soto thing
is exactly what I look at.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
You guys won one hundred plus games last year. Night
you suck.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
We're still winning now we're not. We're not sucking. I
need to stretch.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
But to this Sodo thing, it's oh uncomfortable on gross, Like, hey,
I'm really like you just confessed. I don't know if
you should have been a secret. Ever, it's like I'm
thinking about it. I really want to get paid and
this helps me get paid. Everyone knows it helps me
get paid. And I'm about to get paid.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
Oh it's just like like allegedly like a lot of
like something used to have. I guess it still happens,
like like summer flanks, so like I'm in town for
the summer.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
I gotta go back to it. But when I go
back to school, this is over. We spent time together.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Listening now back to Levac and Guz on ninety five
nine and nine eighty AM Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
I'm in the GT toys too, that's toys with a
Z and yes, I pause long because that light stills
it on and I all had to remember that's the thing.
Today good news Also in New York, the Mets win
ten to one over the Nationals as they shrink their
magic number for postseason play. They can control their own

(23:07):
destiny up to the second wildcard, so the fifth seed.
So that much number for that is ten. It's nine
to make the postseason. Feels good, feels like they got
a shot. They're not ruled out of anything at this point.
Any anything they won with Outland or Alonzo looked great,

(23:27):
which is nice. And then Ronald Kunya's little brother also
looking very good at shortstop. I'm gonna call him Louis
because I don't know how to say his name Counya.
Some people believe he could be a better all around
player than his brother. Those people were Mets fans.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
I'm laughing now because I don't know if you've seen
the same response from Met fans that I've seen over
the last just throughout really today you.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Guys get a little spoil all of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yes, all good, but like the Met fan has said,
such a wild twenty twenty four. Then now the two
things they hear out of Met fans over the last
day are you know, Acuna probably should have been up sooner.
They probably should have been getting more at bet Okay,
all right, well, I'm.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Not gonna disagree with that. That's probably true.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
He looked bored as all hell and Syracuse and he's
doing anything.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
Yea.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
But then again, you know, you get the call up,
he comes up, he's obviously dialed in, he's he's playing well.
They had another closed door meeting. There's some there's some
negative speculation about the closed door meeting because part of
the deal was they wanted to talk about Francisco Lindor.
If all we're hearing is that he's going to be back,
he's gonna be fine, why are we having a closed

(24:34):
door team only meeting about him? That makes that's that's
the the negative speculation out there is that maybe just
maybe he's not gonna be around for a week or
two or more, and you know, hey, hey, you know
we need to win out or do pretty close to
a posted, Yeah, okay, we're gonna do that with Alan door.
But he'll be there if we make it like that's

(24:56):
kind of what it feels like.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Isn't that the perfect way to bait the reporters?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
To bait media? They had a closed door meeting. Oh
what do you think it's about? I got an idea, Lindor.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Oh yeah, really like it could have been.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
It could have been about one thousand other things like
but uh, Met fan being spoiled.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Can imagine it was like, okay, listen, in all seriousness,
are you guys okay if we bring back the Hawk
to a girl?

Speaker 10 (25:16):
No?

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Okay, all right, good piece out, Grimace has a seat.
I'll see you guys later.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
They said no to Haley.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean they caught a lot of backlash over that.
If I find out.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Overhilly it was family day to my Ways or camp
day or something. It was camp getaway day or whatever
it was, they had her out doing the first pitch.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Dad, who's miss Haley Wells? I see important well Son.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Sometimes you just.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Gotta hot to wish I had the Internet my day?

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Boys? Am I right on?

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Grandpa?

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Uh, we're gonna need to shut down Google please.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
So Met Fan has spoiled that a coon didn't play
soon enough the lind door thing. Yet that's hard to
read about what happened that closed door meeting. And their
part is like Met fan, be real with yourself right now,
We're not gonna judge you yet, so mean you want
in that second wildcard spot. Now, it was just good
enough to get in about ago, right now, about a
month ago. If you got in, you were happy. There

(26:12):
was a talk of the Diamondbacks and the Braves and
the Padres, those teams roster. We've gone through this thousand
times of how much better they looked in that team
and how they'd gone further. Now we sit here on
September seventeenth, and if a met fan told me, hey,
you know, Kunya could have came up at bit sooner
and been more impactful earlier, and I want wild Card
spot number two, you sound spoiled, but you also do
sound a little rational. We have entered that lane for

(26:35):
a met fan where you can have both. You can
have the cake and eat it too. What a wonderful
world now to live in, Mets fan, that this is
your reality in mid September, right, Like do you think
those things like I'm sort of accusing them of being
spoiled about are actually reasonable and rational now wanting wild
card spot too and thinking of coone.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
You should have been up.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Sooner, I mean right now, there was there was How
many points during the season did everyone have to It's
some like, unless you're the absolute most optimistic Mets fan
or one of the biggest wait and see people in
the in the history of universe, you've given up on
this team probably three times, probably three different times. You've

(27:15):
gone just can't get it right, can't get it. Yeah, pitch,
he's not right. Edwin Diaz couldn't even throw it to
home plate at one point, and then the next outing
he's smoking everybody. But like Petere Alonzo hasn't been pee Alonso.
There's been a lot of times where you could easily
give up on this team. So I think if you're
a Mets fan, you're thrilled and yeah, no, why not

(27:36):
play a little house money? I always get the greediest
when I'm playing with house money. I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
I want to call big bets. That's what I'm going big,
That's what I wanted. All that's when the dreaming starts.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
That's the greatest place to live, isn't it really is?
It's not my money, it's somebody else's. If I lose,
I lose. If I win, even more wonderful, get a
little bit more aggressive with the wagers, met fan, That's
all true right now. I look at what's potentially on
the way for the Mets. Can you catch San Diego?
Sure that'd be a fun matchup. If you get San
Diego at this point, you get anybody you feel. Look

(28:10):
the way the Mets are playing right now, why don't
you feel confident?

Speaker 4 (28:14):
Now?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Philadelphia in Atlanta still to close this thing out. The
Philly series, I would say felt even at times because
it went to a three in fame for a Philly
is it.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Look if you told metfan you'd have.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
A two game lead games before the final series against
Atlanta in late September, beautiful, wonderful. You're playing better than
the Braves. Get a lead on the Braves. Life is
good right now. Enjoy these moments. If you're a Met fan,
it's gonna get tougher today. You could get a little spoiled.
Put a little uh whip cream on the Sunday, put
a little extra fudge.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Not wrong with it you're currently sitting is the second wildcard.
You've got one Morgas the Nationals. You got four against
the Phillies' that's gonna be tough. Phillies a lot to
play for. I mean, obviously they're trying to lock up
a top seed and all that fun stuff. But eight
games back, with a four game series, you can at

(29:11):
least maybe make them pretty little heavy, like, you know,
feel like you're chasing them. Three against Atlanta, three against Milwaukee.
Season's over, So this is your home stand. It's it's funny,
and Pete Alonzo's out there saying the right things right now.
I don't think this is the end for me. I
don't think it's my last Homestand with the Mats, he's
hitting pretty well and he here's the beauty. Alonzo didn't

(29:35):
hit so well that his price went up. He hit
well enough that you probably still want him. There's a
chance his price came down and you might actually be
able to sneak him in and still make that god
awful offer you're gonna make it, Wan Soda.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
That one's a lot harder to read that the Alonso,
whether his price went down or not, that's a little
hard shut of what if they go deep? What if
he's an impactful player in the postseason, what if the
Mets go If his agent's worth anything, he's gonna say
the price would have gone down. He's a huge reason
why is the Mets got.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Here's here's the beauty, the beauty of the curse of
being pede Alonzo. The your your thirty three home runs?
What is that? Only thirty three? Like you're supposed to
hit fifty?

Speaker 16 (30:27):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (30:27):
You thirty one doubles, eighty six rbi. You didn't do
what pe Alonso does. You didn't even lead the team
in a lot of the stats. You know. Two forty
six average, thirty three home runs, eighty six RBI, eighth
five ops.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Good numbers.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
I mean if I could pencil that in but much
you know, you were being delusional to the o of
the season, thinking the Oils are gonna win it all.
I'm telling you, if you just pencil in being a
top wild card, you should go for You tell me
I go to first base, two fifty average, thirty plus
home runs, almost one hundred rbi. I'll be like, well,
I'll just start signing. Where do I sign? Because I'm ready.
It's twenty nine years old, so he'll be thirty before

(31:08):
he signs the contract. Even maybe maybe he's not a
significantly cheaper like maybe he was supposed to be forty
million a year, maybe he drops down to thirty five.
But more importantly, maybe he thought he was getting seven
years and now you get him for five.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Baseball for me and I think we've seen this over
the last maybe a decade plus is really hard to
read when it comes to free agency, because we'll use
a one of the most recent examples of Jordan Montgomery.
Jordan Montgomery hit Scott Boris is his agent. He led
the team to the World Series, the Texas Rangers, he
had the best season of his career. He hit free agency.
He's like, this is the guy. Here we go, Jordan Montgomery. Now,

(31:45):
whoever saw do you want to believe? Whether it's Gott
Boris pushing the price too high, whether it's Jordan Montgomery,
state does Boris? It didn't work out, he didn't get paid,
same as happened for pictures in the past. You Darvish
had a bad contract negotiation when he went through Blake
Snell can argue that it never worked out. A lot
of pictures I mean, now I've gotten the price that
they think they deserved. Garrett Cole got paid hitters is
a lot different like the big major contracts. I remember

(32:08):
Aaron Judge, Manie Machado, Bryce Harper, won Soto almost for
washing Stanton Soto's is on the way. I just can't remember.
I'm trying to Dankiel Murphy, but he's not in that
same category of a hitter hitting free agency and getting
nowhere close to what we thought they were gonna get

(32:29):
because of something major.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Now, maybe there's one that's someone.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Screwing about guys you're forgetting about so and so it's
not dawning on me. Of somebody who hit free agency
we thought he was gonna make a ton of money
and he didn't. Like Chris Bryant's one that's jumping down
to me, where it's like, oh, that's a bad contract.
Chris Davis for the Oars, Ooh that was a bad contract.
The bad ones jump down to me, but maybe not
always necessarily a guy who at the tail end we

(32:53):
thought maybe maybe not and didn't get it.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
So again, I feel like I just gave you two minutes.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Of I don't know, but it's hard to read what
Alonso is going to be this offseason.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
No, definitely, but if he had gone out and hit
fifty home runs.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
I would say it'd be higher.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Yeah. Well, here here's the question, and obviously we can't answer,
you know, for Cohen, But five year, two hundred million,
forty eight year for five years.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
That seems like a fair deal to me. I would
say if I was Pete Alonzo, I would advise him
to potentially consider that offer. Another real weird factor in
one of this stuff that plays into these big contracts
is will we ever find out the truth of Peter
Alonso has been rubbed the wrong way?

Speaker 3 (33:39):
My Mets management.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Allegedly was seven year deal one fifty eight is what
was offered.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
But does he just not want to be a Met?
Does he not like how they thought he was wanted
to blame.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
I'm feeling that he will be and he wants to
be so he loves it here it I like, I
like Peter Alonzo as a Met. You told me that
you could be a Yankee and we could keep Soto,
All right, cool, bring them over. But if you tell
me I choose for him and Soda, I want so like.
That's like if if we're only handing out one monster

(34:07):
contract this year. Let it go to Wan Soda. You
know you already got, you already got judging the bucks,
Cole Stanton, they're all in the bucks, they're all making
a ton of cash. If you're only willing to do
one more, that's the one. If that one gets away
from you and you say to me, yeah, but we
brought in Pee Alonzo, I may throw something at you,
because again it's of the two. One is one is

(34:30):
four or five years younger, and his down years are
better than a lot of people's up years. And you
can see what's happening with Soda. But is that is
that a perfect offseason? Or the Mats make a little
run in the postseason, bring back Petere Alonzo.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yes, that would be the best case scenario for the Mets.
Go as deep as possible. Let's take itet Soo too.
That's I'm just quickly. We're gonna run through these contracts.
Here are players who aren't better than Peter Alonzo. Show
Tani Mookie bets Mike Trout's hurt. That one's hard to judge,
Shoeyotani Mooki bets Aaron Judge, Manny Machado Francisco Lindor Tatis
is hurt too. Harper Seeger Yamamoto's earliest career. He's yeah, Stanton,

(35:12):
You know what, that's probably the first one we could
make an argument either way about Stanton. Dever's was pretty
good this season, Achado. The reason I'm doing this, Bobby
wit Junior is awesome. The reason I'm doing this experiment
of telling you who the highest paid players are in
baseball is that where does a Lonzo fit on that ranking?
But now doing this experiment, I have to remind myself
not that simple, like we've see it in the NFL

(35:32):
all the time. Do I think Trevor, Lawrence and Tua
are the best or better than Alan and Mahomes.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
No, of course not.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
The market will also dictate and when you sign this
contract dictates the money like a Rod and others are
on this list of great players that have been paid
a ton of money. The market will dictate it. And
again that's another way for me to dodge your question
of whether or not I think Alonzo's.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Gonna be inpacted this postseason, Vise.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
I really it would be awesome for him if he
got a three hundred million dollars year.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Not to this year. I think he's just three hundred million. Again,
at thirty years old, you're not getting a ten year deal.
You're getting seven. I think sevens the moon. Now that
being the case, seven, I'm probably trying to put you
at thirty five a year, maybe forty. I don't I
don't think he gets forty eight. I don't think forty

(36:21):
year exists for him. Maybe, like you said, I've about
a five year, two hundred million dollars yar Od, I
think you're willing to pay him a little more for
a shorter term contract because that way he doesn't the
year where he's starting to, you know, fall off completely,
he's also falling off your payroll.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Anthony rendone for the Angels in twenty twenty go at
twenty nine years old, seven years, two hundred and forty
five million, and he hated baseball. Strasburg got the same
deal at thirty one and then he retired. Cano Yankee
Fan Canoe got that in twenty fourteen when he was
thirty one. Whoa gosh, that numbers free poolhost.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
That man.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
All those contracts stunk, every single one of them.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Should the I don't know if it is, but should
the team that finds the most valuable be the Mets
shouldn't like because the Mets fans loved them so much.
And like, as an Oriole fan, if you guys signed
Alans in the offseason, you're what five excited? Six excited?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Oh if they did it, I'd be a little higher.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
I'd be a little higher.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
He just just because of the history of Baltimore, they're
not known for big time signings, and I would think
I would love this scenario to play out. I would
love for Peter Alonzo to sign with the Orioles because
I'm very concerned that Corbyn Burns is going to go
to New York. I want to stick it to him.
Oh you thought you're gonna take one of our best pictures. Huh,
we just took your best hitter. Take that, Uncle Steve.

(37:46):
So I'd be thrilled to Pedaalans, right, all right, I
love it. But the fan bas that'd be the most
probably the Mets fan. Absolutely yeah, So hopefully he gets
a chance. I like p Alonzo, I do.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
I just like you. Remember remember when Mets fan got
a junked up and try to tell me he was
as good as Judge? Remember that head, Remember that the
freezing could take from METS fans. I like you Mets,
I do I like Peter Alonzo, ain't Aaron Judge. That's
that's that one didn't age well. As the kids say. Uh,

(38:17):
you know, you know it does age well. Smart decisions
like CDTA get where you're going. You count on them
for the ride. They're gonna get you safely where you're headed,

pack day today that I said I need to eat
lunch and I barely touched it.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Did you really? I saw you walk around eating it.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
I've gone back to the days of my lunch being
children like lunch, small lunch.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
What was the old crazy expression you ate up me like?

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Somebody said? I didn't make it up. I just told
you it was. You eat breakfast like a king, lunch
like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. And that's
how you lose weight, because you because your body burns
the calories during the day, and that way you're not
you know, sleeping with them.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
I want to drink hmmm, what coffee or sea four
in the morning, the banana hurry up and throw them
into my mouth for lunch, and then eat an ungodly
amount of food for dinner.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
That's what I think is. It's kind of the reverse.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
It's really not exactly what I'll take it up to.
Whoever invent your thing. We'll go battle.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
And I don't know. I just my brother said it
to me once and it stuck with me, and it
just obviously I haven't lived by it, lived more by
like what you're talking about. I do love a big dinner.
There's something about when you get home, you made it
through the day. You know, I had to talk to
you for three hours. I had to do god knows
what with the team.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
I do this over at belfour, jump through some hoops,
make things happen, and you get home and you're like,
that's one of all the things.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Just put them on a I want to. I want
to cornicopia of food in front of me.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
The damage I do on a taco Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
How many tacos an unspeakable amount of tacos. In my mind,
they're getting smaller. That's what I've told my wife. Well,
that's not it.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
It's weird how that works. And then you're you're getting
close to where you'll you'll find that other conundrum that
I've found myself, the weird little mystery of the universe.
How come the bigger you get the only thing that's
comfortable or athletic clothes. That's weird.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
That's a designed fault.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
You know.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Then shorts, Shorts used to be bigger when we were
growing up.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
We know that.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Yeah, now the kids are the short shorts are back
here for the kids. I see it.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
Listen, you said what you want. My short has always
been tighting that right, ladies? How you know? Uh? Two
and oh teams? Real or good or fake?

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Are you doing it?

Speaker 4 (47:24):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Waitute, that sounds like real mirage to me. Are we
bringing back Monday mirages? That's just dropped today Wednesday mirage?
All right, I'm ready really, Oh no, I'm gonna give
you the two and oh teams. We're gonna sign.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
Whether or not we think they like this is something
that's gonna stay in the course of the rest of
the year.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Or are they gonna fall off? That's okay, you know,
I'll play all right, I'll do you no play. Los
Angeles Chargers realer mirage, real that schedule benefits them. I'm
kicking myself. That should have been a play that we
all know Harbaugh's first season with the team overachieves. I'm
kicking myself because they are very good. That is one
hundred percent real.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
I'm I'm with you. I just the way they're they've
already adopted his style. They haven't even Herbert hasn't even
really started throwing yet. They're just running the ball. They're
playing solid defense. Also real, well with you look at that.
Pittsburgh Steelers real mirage.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Hmmm, oh no, it's it's too early to do mirage.
I will say Pittsburgh is real. They will be in
contention for a postseason birth and similar fashion of the
mistake I made with the Chargers. I do this every
year with Pittsburgh, our guy Steve, but the father of

(48:34):
the flock knows I did this this summer that they're
always overachieving. Mike Thomlins hilarious. I can't wait till he
moves into media. He's talking about telling the media that
the course is showing us that Justin Fields is going
to be in Week three. That's what we're hoping for.
I'm not gonna tell you the ingredients to make a
hot dog right now, he's saying wild stuff. I love him, man,

(48:56):
he's confusing everybody. They're in contention. They're real. Russell Wilson's
career might be a mirage at this point, but Pittsburgh
finds a way.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
Every single time.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
They gave him a game ball. It's called a petty ball,
Russell Wilson. They gave him a game ball because they
because Denver treated in poorly, so they called it. It's
called a petty ball. So he got a game ball.
He will didn't play.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
I like the Sam Donald one was a lot better
that Sam Donald was screaming in the locker room. You
shouldn't have cut me off the Niners, Now that was cool.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
Which I also think is weird because if you didn't
cut him, you'd be a backup.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
You got to be a starter. Because they cut him,
I say Steelers are fake. I think the mirage. I
don't think they can keep this up all year.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
They're gonna run some teams they're gonna that are just
gonna be played a little better, and they're gonna fall short.
The New Orleans Saints ninety one points in two weeks. Hmmm,
this hurts your soul.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
I would say I would say mirage because New Orleans
was supposed to be this last season they weren't. They
played a really stinky Panther team. We've seen Dallas's defense
get lit up by Green Bay before. This is not
a super Bowl content team. The South can catch up

(50:02):
to them, both Tampa and Atlanta. I will say mirage
for the Saints.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
I am gonna go real. I'm gonna go against you
yet again. And I think here's a couple of things.
I think it's look at it's election your car. That's
a big deal. I think Kley Kubiak is real. The
offensive coordinator, Gary Kubiak's kid. I think he's real. And
I think he's figured out how to get the most
out of Derek Carr in that offense. Seattle Seahawks real.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Mirage for Seattle, But I put them in the same
category as Pittsburgh going into the season.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
They don't make headlines. They don't get you excited. They
feel like this is.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
In the year.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Similar rosters of players that are coming back to impact
players are no name, aren't in the headlines. Mirage, but
of the teams you've listened to me, including the Saints
so far. This is the team that I think would
struggle with all of them the most, and they have
not struggled. What's that in the distance. It looks like
what it's a mirage. That's what they are. They mirage poopy.
They will get, they will be they will be exposed. Uh,

(51:04):
Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Mirage.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
This is more stubborn and me being personal about the
Vikings because I thought they'd be one of the worst
teams in the NFL, but the North is too competitive.
They've caught some breaks with Love getting injured and the
lines of the tough schedule and the Bears being odd.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
Mirage.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
But that is the closest to me of all the
ones I've done so far. That one I feel I
can change in two weeks. That one there's a little
bit more realist than any of the other ones.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
I'm with you to a degree. I'm I'm completely bought
in on the coaching staff. I need Sam Donald to
continue to look as confident as he does. If Sam Donald,
if you, if you tell me Sam Donald is gonna
be confident all year, He's not gonna see ghosts, then
I would say, I would say real, but until I
know that, I'm out. Uh.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Buffalo Bills real so real, very real, very impressive, very
interested to see what the Bills look like over the
course of the next month and a half. That Sean
McDermott brain and being finding talent and this is gonna
be a storyline at some point this season hasn't happened yet.
Didn't really benefit the team. Getting Steffan Diggs out of
the locker room that stuffs harder to grab onto. But

(52:10):
maybe sometimes if you work somewhere and you know, like
something you work with and they leave, it.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Actually does improve morale and performance. Maybe it's true.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
So I'll go real And I'm fascinating if we come
back to that Digs thing later on in the fall.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
To quote the great poet ice Cube, really than real
deal Holy Field, That's what I'd say about that.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Houston Texans very real, very much as Suerle contender, I
underestimate the national marketing and national popularity of C. J.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Stroud.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Fantastic team, and they did it the right way in
similar fashion of the Bears. They built through the draft.
They had really good trades, They built the roster the
right way, I don't know the Houston Texans GM's name
off the top of my head. Whoever that person is
as fantastic at those job.

Speaker 4 (52:54):
I used to be used to be in New England.
Scott Piolive, that is it? No, Nickterio, sorry all that,
thank you. See.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
I honestly thought he had left because of that weird
stuff that involved the preacher and I don't know if
you remember that story that's Sports Illustrated called it the
real life Game of Thrones.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
I thought he had left, but he's still there.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
Good for him, real quick. They did this on Dan
Patrick today.

Speaker 11 (53:17):
C J.

Speaker 4 (53:17):
Shroud's real name, Colorridge Bernard Stroud the fourth.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
What was that again?

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Coleridge Bernard Stroud the fourth. So Coleridge Junior apparently is
where CJ. Comes from.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Uh, Kansas City Chiefs, Colorridge. I'm not over the head
still speak.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
Might consider that for the next one of your next
seven kids.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Fourth, I have a possibility for a fourth. Sorry, mister
team there can't see Chiefs real yeah? And uh the
last one up too? And oh, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's
a Super Bowl contending Super Bowl contending Buccaneers.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Listen, Vidave I had to leave to go shoot Mohana
the live action version, and you know Baker's gonna freak
out at some point, very slowly run from the police.
So it's all gonna happen. Todd Bowles doesn't even know
what year it is. He thinks he's playing the Redskins
and the and the Jets, is the Titans.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
They're about to get to three.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
No, but I don't like that seven and a half
number for the third consecutive a buccaneer fan I picked
against the Bucks two weeks in a row out to
cover seven and a half is frightening against Denver.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
All right, So there you go a little fake, impromptu
real mirage. How about tomorrow around this time, I'll give
you the O and two teams. You tell me which
ones you still believe.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
In ooh Thursday mirages kind of which would be Live
from the Hideaway, right, Yes we will. It's been too long,
almost two years to be broadcast live from the Hideaway.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
I mean, no, we did. We did the podcast, didn't we.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
Yeah that's almost two years ago.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Yeah, yeah, we never did the regular. No, that's right,
because Chad's being a jerk to us, that's right. I forgot,
But I love you, Chad, but your jerk coming up
there top four, Well, go ahead, I really want those
bloody marys. Chad looks great, by the way, he looks fantastic.
I think he's been working out. Actually, Chad's more likely
to bring us drinks if I insult him, because sad.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
All right, let's let's talk it out, let's drink it out,
let's figure out what's going on here top four four
Coming up next right here, the fact gos Foxports Trader
ninety five nine and nine eighty a little sluggish,
