iHeart app Enjoy this podcast of the Andy Every Show. Well,
we are back on a Thursday. It is time to
talk sports for the next three hours. We got baseball
going on. Three elimination games going on in the in
the Major League Baseball today, the Detroit's lead right now
two to one over Cleveland. The Cubs are getting ready

(00:47):
to start their elimination game with the Podreys, and later
on tonight the Yankees will play against the Red Sox.
That will be decided who moves on to the playoffs.
Then we get into the Visual Series this weekend and
more into the to the Championship Series in a few days.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
In the World Series.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Fall baseball is amazing, It's awesome, even when the Houston Astros.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Are not playing.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Wow, Yeah I had to go there.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Wow all right, fine, be that way. I don't want
to be here anyways. Andy the Andy Average Show. That's
Michael Bartlett. He's the audio disseminator and producer of this show.
Issa Ortiz is in the building too. She's helping out
today as well. So thank you for that, and thank
for all of you for making it part of your day.
Art art making our day part of yours. So we'll

(01:36):
get into all the sports stuff. I hate analytics, and
I went on a twelve minute ran on this yesterday,
as you well know. Yeah, I felt like I was
just gonna go take a nap, take a nap. For
a second, I was like, Oh, they didn't need me.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
To, I was.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I was kind of, well, you told me before the
show began. I know what you're going to talk about.
Oh yeah, without a doubt. I think analytics are good too.
Give yourself a little bit of an idea of what
you should do. Tony LaRussa used to do analytics before
there were computers and graduates from Yale, Harvard and Princeton
that think they know more about baseball than somebody who's

(02:10):
played it. For thirty years, and I'm not even sure
how much baseball they've even actually ever watched and certainly
never managed. But apparently they have a bigger role than
even Aaron Boone does. And even Colin said today the
managers aren't setting the lineups.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
The guys upstairs are. This is who you should play.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Oh, let's not play Ben Rice, who's been the hottest
hitter you've had for the last several weeks, and not
win Game one. Oh let's put him in the lineup
in Game two and guess what he hits a home run.
Oh well, we couldn't play him in Game one because
he doesn't field well and there's a left handed pitcher.
So what Anyway, We've got two rookies going tonight early
for Boston and Schlitter for the Yankees. I don't think

(02:48):
either one of them will make it through the third
inning without throwing up, so we'll see what happens. I
think this will be a bullpen game. The bullpen does
favor the Red Sox a little bit, so the Yankees,
if they're going to win, need to jump on this early.
By the way, Ben Rice is in the lineup, Jash
Chisholm is in the lineup. Again, that's all being predicated

(03:08):
by the analytical side of things. So we'll get into
that more with some baseball talk here in just a
little bit, and that the UTSA Roadrunners take on Temple
on Friday tomorrow. Jay Howard and Tim Merriman will host
this show while I accompany the Roadrunners to Philadelphia, and
it is a whirlwind trip. We're going to get there
about six thirty in the evening, We're going to wake

(03:28):
up about twelve hours later, go to the stadium, broadcast
a game, and come home. So it's about about a
twenty two hour trip ball toll, and we'll have the
Roadrunners against Temple this weekend. The voice of the Els
is Kevin Copp. He'll join us in about thirty minutes
and we'll get his take on his team this year,
who's two and two and their two losses are to
Owe You and Georgia Tech, two teams in the top

(03:50):
twenty five. We had Ryder Cup more Ryder Cup fallout,
and an interesting take from Chipper Jones.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
On how to deal with New York crowds.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
We'll talk about that coming up, and we'll ask this
question and I'll throw this out there right now. It's
kind of a tease for it is golf above every
other sport.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Is golf supposed to have decorum?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is God? Are you supposed to yell in somebody's backswing
in golf? Well, I'll look at it from this standpoint.
If that tournament at Bethpage was the US Open and
Rory was in contention, my guess is a good contingent
of the New York fans would be pulling hard for Rory.
But it's not the right. It's not the US Open,
and it's not a major. It's the Ryder Cup. And

(04:36):
when he takes off the Nike shirt and puts on
the Team Europe shirt, it's over. And so I think
you were saying earlier today when when Steph Curry is
playing for the Warriors, I hate you when he's playing
for Team USA.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Good night everyone.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
During during Olympic play against Team France with Wemby, it
was I love I love the Alien, I love Wenby,
but I was, let's go King James, let's go Steph Curry,
Let's put the.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Night night out in a row. Yeah, And I'm like,
all right, there we go, Team USA.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
I don't care who you you could be Carl freaking Malone.
I don't care as you have.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Put USA on the jersey, I'm rooting or for you. Yeah.
All right.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Let's talk about something that Colin and Jason McIntyre were
talking about today. Uh, Colin our Jason was upset not
knowing for sure whether Lamar Jackson was going to play
this weekend or not. And the Ravens, as we've talked about,
are kind of beat up. And Colin says, I've been
saying this for ten years. We should get rid of

(05:42):
the injured list. All we need to know is Lamar
Jackson is playing, is questionable, is doubtful, is out?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Those are the things we need to know. Nothing more
than that.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
If if somebody you know, and he was using himself,
he said, if I call in sick tomorrow, Fox is
not allowed to tell the audience why I'm sick, or
what disease I've got or what illness I have. But
a football player gets hurt, we can tell you everything
we know about it, which Jason mckendyre piped up and said, well,
of course we need to know this information. We have
games to bet on, We've got fantasy, and we've got

(06:15):
survivor leagues, and we need to make our decisions based
on that. Now, I'm like, really, you think the NFL
or a coach or a player cares about your fantasy
league or your survivor pool or who you're betting on.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
They might not, But you know who does, andy the
Boys in the Desert. And as much as we want
to give credit to the NFL, oh they don't need.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Them, but the Boys in the Desert have people in
on the inside anyway. I mean, did you ever see
the movie Casino. Yes, Ace Rostein knew whether the quarterback's
girlfriend broke up with him or not three days before
the game.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Nobody else did. That's why he went all the bets.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Remember the Joe Peshi monologue when he talked about how
good Ace was at picking games, And obviously that was
a play on Tony's pilatro and the real Chicago outfit
that in Kansas City, guys that controlled the Desert back
in the day.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
But they already know the information.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
But now now in college football, it's required for you
to tell the world what the injuries are with your teams,
you know, And we asked Jeff Traylor about that this
summer and he says, I'm all for it if everybody
plays by the rules. But you know, some people are
going to say this guy is out when he's not,
or this guy is not out when he is. You know,

(07:34):
if you're not going to play by the rules. And
I guess Texas now just says player hurts and won't play.
They don't tell you what the injury is. But the
I guarantee the boys in the desert already know now.
And that's usually how the lines are or if you
see a line move, it's because somebody and it's it's
because money has been put on that team. Usually the

(07:54):
boys in the desert to put that money on that
team because they have inside information.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Well, but that that's where I always bring up. If
they don't like it, fine, let's stop doing betting. Let's
stop that's either happening. Well, hey, hey, that's not happening,
hypocrite player.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
You can have it legally or you can have it illegally.
But we're betting on games. That's been going on since
game started.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Well, then again, I don't want to hear Colin Cowherd
complaining about injury reports because but.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
He made a good point.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
We'll get to this later, but he basically said, if
I know that the left tackle has got a concussion
or coming off a concussion protocol, I'm going to hit
him in the head. I'm going to get him out
of the game. This is a survival game. We'll talk
more about that, all right. Evidence that Shadoor Sanders has
not grown up yet and doesn't get it. Yesterday, he
was asked what he thought about not starting after they

(08:44):
bitched Flaco and the fact that they're going to play
Dylan Gabriel, and he didn't say anything.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
He pantomimed his answers.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Bad decision again for Shadoor Sanders, That's what the fifteen
year old junior.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
In high school says.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's not what the U of age twenty something year
old quarterback in the NFL that's trying to hang on
to a roster should say.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
You know.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
That's uh.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's something that even Johnny Manziel, Johnny Football himself, wouldn't
be that dumb to do.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Johnny would at les, Johnny would go.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Johnny would have talk, because Johnny would talk if Johnny
lived in the Johnny lived a little bit in the
social media area, but not necessarily as much as it
is now. Johnny said, if Instagram was around when he
was playing, you have made five million dollars a year
just on Instagram, probably, And he wishes Instagram was around
because he would have needed the money that was under
the table. He would have just he would have just
taken the Instagram money. Probably taken the end of the

(09:39):
table money too, but that's another story.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
All right.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
We have been on the on the Kathy Engelbert case
for a little while. Kathy's on the way out. There's
I don't see how she survives this, but we'll tell
you a little bit how she threw a little bit
of shade to one of the best players that's ever
played the game in Elena Deleadon, who basically she didn't

(10:02):
even acknowledge her retirement. And Scott Van Pelt had a
Diet Tribe last night on his show After Baseball about this,
and we'll play a part of what he said.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Last night on the show.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And I've got some thoughts on that, plus what Caitlin
Clark said to back up what Nafisia Collier said.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
We'll get into that forty.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Nine ers in rams on a Thursday night football game.
That's gonna be very overshadowed by Red Sox.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yankees, at least for as far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I don't know that I'll even flip over because it's
on Prime and it's a lot easier to see Yankees
and Red Sox with having to go through all the
rigamarole to get back to the Prime channel. So I'm
gonna go with Yankees Red Sox to night because I
think the Rams are gonna blow out the forty nine
ers as badly injured as they are.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
I'll probably watch football because, like you.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Said, and because you hate baseball right now, the Astros
aren't there, because baseball doesn't exist to me right now,
Like has hockey started or are we in?

Speaker 4 (10:54):
I know it's hockey preseason, you know by the way
we talked about it last week when the biggest puma
of Sam Freeze filled in for you. The captain of
the Dallas Stars, Jamie ben uh suffer.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I'm I'm sorry, Dallas Stars fan, I'm sorry, Captain, the
true captain, not Captain Keegan.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
It's Captain Jamie uh suffer to collapse lung.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
They play hockey in Dallas.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
They do play hockey in Dallas, Believe it or not.
And it's very popular. I heard, very very popular. But
he suffered a collapse lung in preseason. Guess what, Andy,
he's only gonna be out a month.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
That's a hockey player for you.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Exactly, a collapse lung for a month.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
It was Anthony Davis. He take half the year off.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
If it was a collapse lung for Anthony Davis or Zion,
they're done for.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Like five five years later.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Don't need that. Let's go. Hockey players are tough. I'll
give them that.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Hockey players are just different.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Like you know, my my mom says, let's go pretty
pretty much like there, there's levels of screws loose to
do certain jobs, like to go work in the on
an oil rig, out in the you know, uh triangle,
something like that, fighter pilots.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
You know, there's you've got a little bit of a
screw loose.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Well, you know, you just have a very big amount
of self confidence.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
You've got you've got a very big something.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
You got to go. Yeah, yeah, you gotta go. You
gotta all.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Oh, I don't need this tooth here, you know, finger
cut it off, pull it off yet one one arm
app put it back in.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
All right, we're good to go.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Like Kobe Bryant when he dislocated his finger and Gary
Vedy grabs his hand and says, hey, count to three,
Kobe one, two.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, all right, okay, tape it up to another finger.
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
We need more Kobe's in basketball, More hockey guys. Kobe
could have been a hockey player. He was tough enough
to do that. I don't know how good he can skate, Yeah,
but you got to be able to skate. People underestimate
the ability to skate. What little NHL hockey knowledge I have,
So forty nine ers in rams to night, a lot
of other stuff to get to. We'll talk about the
UTSA game with Kevin Copp, the voice of the Els,

(12:56):
in about twenty.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Minutes or so.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Let's get into these baseball Pennant race pinn at these
playoff games. It's five to one Detroit right now, and
they're piling it on it. Maybe even more than that
here in a minute. They are in the seventh. Now
it's six to one, and it looks like the Cleveland
season's about to come to an end. More coming up,
it's the Andy Everage Show for thirteen on the tickets
