Speaker 1 (00:01):
I'll be golfing. What are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I will be making wonderful American choices of alcohol, hamburgers,
hot dogs, and even if it's raining, I will jump
in my pool. I do not care as long as
it's not lightning. I'm not that dumb.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, please don't.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, I'm not that yeah, because you'll be like Mike,
I need you to come in on Monday, Yeah, I
need you to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Let's see here, according to everything tomorrow we have in
the afternoon. Oh, let's see here, about a twenty percent
chance of rain throughout tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That will be fine.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
So that means eighty percent that it won't Yeah, or
I guess it means that twenty percent of the area
at some point in time may or may not see
a thunderstorm.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I always half heartedly joke about this. Jobs that you
can be bad at and still not get fired. Weather
man meteorologists is definitely up there. You could be like,
you know, and I love one of our because I
have a good relationlationship with him, Bill Taylor. You know
Ken's five chief meterologists, Bill Taylor. I always joke with him.
(01:05):
I was like, you know, you could say, hey, eighty
percent chance of rain tomorrow and there's not a cloud
in this guy. And I'm like, dude, if I said
something like that, I get fired, Well you can be.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You can strike out seven out of ten times in
baseball and they'll put you a plaque in Cooper's down
exactly so as you hit the other three out of
the park. Yeah, all right. Speaking of baseball, Clayton Kershaw
gets his three thousand strikeout. Randy Johnson, C. C. Sabathia,
and Steve Carlton are the other three lefties that have
recorded three thousand strikeouts in their career. Next on the
(01:36):
list to join that hallowed ground at some point. He'd
probably have to pitch until he's fifty, and he's been
injured way too much to think that he can last
as long. And that would be Chris Sayle, who has
around twenty five hundred, and then Garrett Cole, who has
about twenty two hundred change. Earlier today, Kurt Schilling was
on with Gottlieb and he was talking about coming out
(01:57):
of retirement to get back to helping people with their
with young kids in baseball. And I don't know that
this is going to work or not until Major League
Baseball fires all the all the computer guys. I had
this conversation today because a guy asked me, do I
(02:18):
think Aaron Boone should be fired if the Yankees don't
make the playoffs this year? And my question is is
how much does the manager actually manage? Or is he
just is is Aaron Boone and all the other managers
in baseball do they just decide when to take out
a pitcher and whether to decide whether to hit and
(02:38):
run or not, or is that all being controlled by
analytics or are they just there to make sure that
the egos stay intact, because I don't know how much
managing that they do anymore. And I use the example
that Austin Wells, the Yankees catcher, at some point this year,
is batted first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth,
(02:59):
the ninth.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He's a jack of all trades. No, he's not.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
He is not a jack of all trades. He is
a better than average runner for a catcher, and we
put in air quotes for a catcher. He is a
home run hitter and he is not a contact hitter.
And the only the one thing he has going for
him is he's left handed, and left handed hitters in
Yankee Stadium is usually usually do pretty well. So why
(03:23):
is he leading off one game, batting night the next game,
and then every other slot in the lineup at some
point throughout the year. Aaron Judge is really the only
one that's had a consistent batting spot. He's betted third
for most of the year. In some games he's batted second.
Why isn't he always third? John Carlos Stanton comes back
from injury and they immediately make him the cleanup hitter,
(03:45):
and he strikes out twenty times out of the twenty
five times that he makes contact with the ball. I
don't understand. All we care about is how far you
hit it, what your exit velo is, and you know
what your launch angle is. And now we're teaching kids
when they're twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old. I hit a
home run the other day and my exit velo was
(04:07):
whatever it was. How do you know? Because you don't
even have the right devices to measure it. You don't
know what your launch angle is. You go to some
trainer and they've got all those things. It's one thing
if you're trying to figure out your golf swing and
get the right golf club. So that you don't over
underspin the ball. But as a baseball player, you're trying
to hit a moving object that somebody else is controlling,
(04:30):
and you have to be able to have the eye
hand of coordination to put bat on ball, and you
have to have the eye hand coordination a pitcher to
hopefully avoid the bat from hitting the ball someplace where
it can actually be hit.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But see even like the egg, like you were talking
about the exit velocity, who cares does the ball get out?
I don't care what the launch angle is. Again, this
is all of the made up analytic baseball stats for
no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
If Greg Maddix were in high school right now, there
would be I know, he would not get drafted.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
He would be a zero star pro.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Zero star project. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Even he probably wouldn't even get looks at like Division three.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
He would have to go to like maybe a walk
on at a at at Trinity, that's where you'd have
to go.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
He could he could maybe go to like community college
you go to like Pallo Alcy.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Even if he got a shot to go into the
big leagues and he struck out every batter that that
he faced, somebody would say, well, you don't pitch enough.
You don't you don't throw it fast enough. And everybody,
I mean every when you We've had doctor after doctor
after doctor say, if you throw it one hundred miles
an hour by the time you're twenty three, you're gonna
need Tommy John surgery. And as Doc Garrett said a
(05:38):
few weeks ago on the show, if I was nineteen
years old and somebody said I'm gonna pay you forty
million dollars to have Tommy John surgery, sign me up.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah. Yeah. At this point, Andy, you know, we talk
about it all the time with with injuries, and unfortunately,
like with tragedies and things like that, the at a
rate that we're going, who's to say that maybe in
you know, five ten years. I mean, Tommy John surgery
is almost as if it's in in, in and out process.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Hey, you know, it's not going to be an Internet process.
But I think it's going to be a rite of passage.
And I think the doctors have gotten so good at
it that an argument can be made that you're a
better pitcher after you've had it than before you had it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Well, but but I'm getting into that argument of because
it's becoming so routine now that maybe they come up
with newer technology ways and it's I think they already
have yeah, and it's like, hey, it's it takes nine
months or whatever, and maybe in ten years.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I think the recovery time is never going to change.
It's all going to be body dependent because your body
may not be Now you may be able to have
a robot do it instead of a doctor do it
to whether there's less trauma because you still have and
I would imagine that most surgeries are robot and system
assisted now anyway. But my thought on this on the
managers is is and why what might take is? And
(07:00):
I have never asked this question, but I would love to.
I'd love to have a one on one where and
I don't even know if Aaron Boone would be would
be legit with this, But are you making out the
lineup card every night? Or is some computer geek that's
nineteen years old that just graduated from Yale telling you
what the lineup should be and you're mandated by your manager,
by your general manager, and your owner to follow what
(07:20):
that guy says because the computer is smarter than you are,
which sometimes it may be, but you know a lot
of times things are done on a hunch. And a
lot of times a manager does stuff on a hunch
and it works and sometimes it doesn't. But that's where
we're taking the human element out of the game. We're
taking We're going to have a robot umpires next year
in Major League Baseball. We're going to take the human
(07:42):
element out of the game. Now, you still need an
umpire back there to raise his arm. But here in
a few years, guess what, the umpires aren't going to
get paid what umpires in Major League Baseball are getting now. Oh,
we can cut costs because we don't have to have
a union for umpires. We don't have to pay an
umpire one hundred and eighty five a year. We can
pay them thirty And all they got to do is
(08:02):
raise their right arm and get on a plane and
go to the next city the next day. And to me,
that's taking away the human element. I mean, we joke
all the time about we're following the Terminator script, but
we are.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
And we're not joking. We're not joking. And ten years
some of some of the parts of our body are
going to be robots. That's why I think Tommy John
surgery is going ten to be getting out.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
But then if you're an augmented person, are you are
you a real person throwing a baseball or are you augmented?
To word, now one hundred you can throw one hundred
and twenty, you can go play in the enhanced games.
Then at that point, I just I think we got
to got to We've got to convince the powers that
be at the top of Major League Baseball and the
owners and the scouts that speed is not everything that control.
(08:47):
It matters, and there's a whole bunch of other things
that matter. We'll talk more about this, plus a first
that has had not happened since nineteen fifty eight. Coming
up in the next segment. It's four thirty one. It's
the Andy Everette Show. On the Ticket
I'll be golfing. What are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I will be making wonderful American choices of alcohol, hamburgers,
hot dogs, and even if it's raining, I will jump
in my pool. I do not care as long as
it's not lightning. I'm not that dumb.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, please don't.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
