A call up to the majors with major power.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Baseball player. But it's being called up today to the
Boston Red Sox. He gets the ticket to the show. Nice.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
His name is Roman Anthony. Okay, very good baseball names.
Very No, that would that would be Roman. You said
you said his name is Roman. Yeah, very well, Romans
in Italy, not Greace what ever?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
You know what I mean? It sounds very.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Glad, gladiator, gladiatorator the coliseum ish, exactly, gladiator ish. He
in Triple A the other day he had a home run.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
And the reason I say ruthian is because Babe Bruce
career actually started in Boston before they decided to trade
him to the Yankees, and then the curse lasted ninety
years before they won a championship. But uh, he hit
a four hundred and ninety seven foot home run in
Triple A? Where was this at Pawtucket or wherever the
or whatever their Triple eighteen?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I was going to say it was it somewhere in
like Colorado?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Is not it at altitude four ninety seven?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Are they playing on a down downhill slope? That way?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
It was a moonshot from what I didn't see video
of it. I just heard the reports. But he's getting
called up to the show. He's gonna play in the
outfield tonight in bat fifth. The Red Sox, even though
they took two of three from the Yankees this weekend,
they are still still miles back in the in the
American League. They've had injuries to Bregman and then Cossas,

(01:24):
their first basement has been out for the year, so
they need some punch in the batting order, and we're
going to.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
See a new kid in the show tonight. I still,
how did they even measure that? I don't get that. Well,
it's done.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's done the same way like when you watch the
the track Man with golf. As soon as the ball
the it's a it's an algorithm or a formula based
on how much contact you get, based on how much
speed you have in the bat.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
And so let's say you hit it.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
You hit a four hundred and thirty foot home run,
but they're the center field wall is four to ten
and there's a padded all right behind it.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's in reality you only hit it four and eight feet.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
But according to the stats, if there was not something
to stop, but it would have gone for under twenty
five feet. So that's what all those and it's either
a camera system or some kind of a laser system
now and with it being on the what ten second
delay or something like that, they can sit there and
track it and all that exit Vello and all that

(02:25):
kind of stuff whatever, all good for him. It is
obviously June, and basketball season for college doesn't start till November.
But the Dick Vitel Invitational is going to be coming
to Austin. There will be a game between Duke and
Texas at the Moody Center. From what I understand, Duke
and Texas and the Dick Vitel Invitational is part of

(02:47):
a multi team event that will honor Dick Vitel, who
has signed an extension to his ESPN contract that will
have him working close to his ninetieth birthday.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
The only person that I know on the Texas basketball
roster Sean Miller, the head coach. That's it. That's all
they know. I don't know anybody else. Well, that's because
everybody else left right too, that too, so well, I
don't know. I mean, hey, Texas and Duke, that'll be
it'll be something that'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, all right, So anyway, we got Dick, the Dick
Vitel Invitational. You also have Caitlin Clark is out for
tomorrow night's game with Atlanta, but she is expected to
return very soon as well.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
