com is the way tire buying should be. Uh well,
we'll preview the biggest sporting event tomorrow in a second.
But I gotta tell you watching the Olympics now on tape.
I like watching the Olympics night because I get to
catch up on some of the events that I missed
during sure, of course, because I want you.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Know, there's a lot going on. Man, there's a lot
of time. I mean, you don't have nine televisions in
your house. I'm aware of even.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
If you have peacock or yeah, you know, you go, Okay,
what's on NBC, what's on USA? Oh yeah, it's tough.
So I get to watch stuff like handball because I could.
To be honest with you, I think I could. Now
I couldn't do it anymore because you know I'm fifty three,
but younger, I would have been a great handball play.
I thought you were being honest. No, no, no, I would
(01:31):
have been a great hand But I thought you were
being honest. I am being honest. I would have been
a great hand like now wait, he's got some theories,
I think. No, no, no, like now, I would be a
great sweeper in curling, right, I mean that's easy. How
how he's really? Yeah? All you do is keep my
balance and sweep. That's all. I don't think you have
the shoulder stretch. No, I get how long ab have
to sweep for the guy yells hey, hey hey, and
(01:54):
then done. It's a hell of a good time. No,
it looks great, it looks great.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
We had a curling glove up when we lived in
the Northeast.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think it was awesome. I could trush when yeah,
And I don't know that I could be a guy
to roll the stone. I don't know they'd be that
because I don't think I can get my legs in
that position where it's got to be one leg rolling up.
Maybe I would have some kind of hey, I didn't know,
that's a new way to do it. Jason just kind
of runs and falls on his stomach and pushes it.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
We may have had a couple of people after a
beer or two.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Where that happened. But here handball because you don't have
to be fast because you can't really run. Okay, so
that's great, but you have a good first step, but
you don't have a good first step, but the whole,
the whole taking couple of steps and jumping and throwing
as hard as.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Almost like it's a Superman punch. That looks like the
coolest thing in the world.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The slow motion. I can't wait for the tops now.
I mean, that's why why I say make sure you
get a poster every time I jump and throw that ball,
because I'm gonna throw it one hundred and fifty miles
an hour. I feel like we need to get Elijah
back in here, and we need to at least simulate that.
Oh dude, I could and look because he can add
some some extra inches underneath your feet to make it
look like you actually caught some air.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Okay, yeah, sure, sure, you know we can make it
and then we can build it into a poster. I
know a place where we can get custom training cards
that could be your official card.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, with a with a real snarley look on my
face and defender just cowering, and I got my left
hand out and my right hand is back ready to
throw the crap out of that ball.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Because we can also then take it back into photoshop
and make you look like you're about to throw down
a big spell in Harry potter Land. So it all
works together.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
See now, I'm thinking I could be the older guy
to go in at the end when you need offense,
because I'd be instant offense, Like give me that ball
and I'll find a way to throw it in. I'll
find a way to throw it in the net. Don't
worry about I'll find a way to jump and move
and change arm angles and throw like that.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
The jumping and the throwing is like I'm jumping in
the throwing is the problem.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't know that there's a cooler thing in sports
other than if I was Edwin Diaz getting to come
out to NARCO. I know there's a cooler thing in
sports to then be that guy you can put one
hand out and clear your way and got the throw
that ball. The posters and the pictures. My entire house
you'd have wallpaper of just different pictures of me leaping
in the air and the look on my face and throw. Yeah,
(04:10):
mister Goodman, is this your homework, Larry, This is your homework, Larry.
I would I would have a great handball player. I
would have been. I would have been. It mixes, It
mixes basketball and soccer and baseball. It's cool.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I think you want in. I think you need to
find a local league.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, you know, I gotta. I gotta work on my arm.
I gotta work on my arm. I gotta because you can't.
You can't just show up and do.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I gotta get you some bands and we'll get you
back to work.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Max. There we go. Hey, Hey, you know what, I
could just knock people out of the way, boom elbow
and leap and throw. This is where the try seventy
oh and as many as you need, as many as
you need. If you go and find some, get me
some of those stickers they're giving away, okay, with a toy,
without with a toyer, without a toy, without a toy,
as many as you want. Well, but the toy right
(04:58):
now is Olympic stickers. How do you know?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
How do you? How do you know more about McDonald's
about that than I do. I just went to McDonald's tonight.
It's got my drink right, because.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I was gonna write you to say, hey, get me
a happy meal. I want the Panini stickers. I celebrated
trade deadline day? Do they for the Mets with.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
McDonald for you? Yeah, buddy? And the shutout of the Twins.
See how you're celebrating that too much? Our boss might
not like that. No, that's okay. That boss isn't gonna
like No. I've been I've been texting with Scott Shapiro.
He's he's fine. I keep texting him brooms. Yes, I
texted him a broom. He's a big twinsun.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Is he gonna not respond like your family?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's now?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
He responded, He responded, and and everything is fine. He
was like, no, No, he's been fine. He's been good
and listen if he fires me because the Mets sweep
the Twins, I'm okay with it for two reasons. One,
we got to sweep the three wins for the Mets. Secondly,
I have a great lawsuit against the company. You come
on fired for being a Mets fan.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
No, no, no, but you are harassing. You were harassing your
boss harassing. I was sending Yeah exactly. He would say,
why did you send the broom? I want to let
him know that I was cleaning the studio. You caused
him emotional distress.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Now you lose. I was cleaning the studio. I want
to live in California. You lose. The studio was dirty
and I was cleaning it for him. You know what
it is?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
The third thing you forgot that is that it becomes
the Mike Harmon Show.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
A Harmon You're gonna testify for him?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh yeah, sure, sure, Mike Harmon. U was Jason trying

Speaker 4 (06:32):
The Mike Harmon Show is here, as you Pip off your.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Shirt after your testimony with the Mike Harmon Show, and

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So it's Society of seven to eleven Pacific list of
all the affiliates that it's right. The back is just
with my swol back. It's the hundreds of affiliates nationwide
and the global link to the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Let's go the Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live
the IRAQ dot Com Studios. We'll have more on the
MLB trade deadline coming up in about fifteen minutes. MLB
Network inside of John Paul Morose is gonna stop by
the big winners today, the Yankees backing out of the
biggest trade of the day. We'll have more details on that.
But the biggest event tomorrow in the Olympics, as we
(07:16):
get set, is going to be the next game for
Team USA for the women's national team in soccer as
they take on Australia. Hopefully have Peacock because the game
is on Peacock. I do yeah, I mean, look, I'm happy.
I'm happy with wherever they're going to be able to
go back and go back and watch stuff. I was
able to go back today and show Pam the end
of the rugby.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Watch this rugby that went viral immediately and obviously they're
getting a lot of attention, uh the last few days weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
But yeah, the the mega mixes are a lot of fun.
So I've got my multi screen experience, right, you got
it out of the TV, you got it on your iPad. Yeah,
it starts to get small, so you really can't tell
anybody apart. Yeah, like the individuals. But you know which
team is, which teams will go certain events? Doesn't You
don't know who they are anyway, it doesn't matter. Well,
and then you know, say you watch a basketball game.
I may have muted the France Japan game because the
(08:09):
call was not up to my professional standards that I
require for my entertainment.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
No. No, like my wife who say, when I'm watching
this morning, going, let me know when Fink is gonna swim?
Woll you know, just let me know. Okay, just because
the name is faint five minutes, Hey is Fink swimming?
Why why do you care about Fink? All I'll get
a story on him. His wife is pregnant, she's back home.
And my wife loves the summer Olympics. She was a
swimmer in high school. She was track and field in
high school, so she loves the swimming, loves the track fielders.
(08:36):
I want to see Fink. I go, you don't even
know who the hell this guy was.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
He started randomly playing violin music behind like they do
in those vignettes, and.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Suddenly I'm like, you want to see Fink. Okay, okay, fine,
all right, fine, Well it's Finke swimming yet. No, I'll
tell you when Fink is swimming. He's not swimming yet.
I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
My favorite is when they really have to reach front angle.
It's like, wait, he grew up in a gated community
and now we can't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, no, no, it says as mother was a lawyer,
his father was a professor. H yes, brothers a doctor,
us younger sisters in medical school.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
We're not doing a preview on that guy. They took
vacations every year they went. They traveled abroad. Uh. He
did a couple of semesters in college in London. He
did one semester in Spain. What do you want? Where's
where's the adversity? But tomorrow morning, the United States takes
on Australia final game of group play and I will
say this as as questioning as I was and nervous
as I was about the United States women's national team
(09:33):
coming into the Olympics. They don't play great in their
opening game against Ambie, but you know, it's expect Okay,
they expected rollover. They didn't score a lot, But what
did I say? This tournament starts Game two against Spain,
and seeing the chemistry and the power and the confidence
of the three forwards playing up top together, we really
(09:53):
may be now in the new era, a golden era
of soccer for the women's national team, because the way
they played against Spain, which against Germy Jerremany, Sorry Jermy.
The way they played excited Spain and the whole thing
with them, The way they played against the look Germany
is the fourth ranked team in the world, and the
way that we watch Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman and
(10:14):
Sophia Smith just absolutely control the game. It was eye
opening because we've seen Trinity Robin Sophia Smith play together
at the Olympics. They did not look great, and all
of a sudden, these are different players. Sophia Smith is
full of confidence, Trinity Robbin is showing a skill set
that we didn't see in the Olympics some of the
(10:35):
stuff she's able to do to create space and is amazing.
But the missing piece, as I've said, is Mallory Swanson
with they're going to win the gold medal, as I said,
because Mallory Swanson is putting the ball in the back
of the neck. Well to be a lot better, right.
I don't know if you score three or four goals, well.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
But how many near misses, how many opportunities, how many?
How many of those Ye're kind of like, wow, Okay,
that's a fortuitous bounce right off a defender's leg and
finds the inside.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Of the boat.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
They made a lot happen, right, And and that's and
that's the key, is that you're getting a consistent pressure,
you're getting attacks, and Swanson affords and requires so much
attention from the defense that everything opens up.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
The pass that goes through, it's not it's not coming
to her, it's the all right, I'm gonna let it's.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
A through ball. Trinity robs right.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
To the other side, right. And and it's just because
of the convergence on Swanson, because she's been dominant, getting
into the box and drawing the attention and the eyes
of the goalie are on her like everything else opens up.
Defensively needs to be tighter, right. They had a number
of opportunities and there was great and I'm sure Emma
Hayes has them working. But the fact that you know,
(11:52):
we're talking on both sides, men's and women's like an
offensive renaissance and resurgence, and that you have that speed
from Swanson, to have that third player up there, man, that.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That's just so much pressure for opposing defenses. It looks
like this is what we were waiting for. You know
how many times did I say, maybe it's as simple
as Mallory Swanson playing because Phil just filling the middle
on that first goal when three defenders had to suck
down to her because she she's right there and communicate better.
(12:26):
But here's the bigger part. Here's a bigger part of it. Now,
is that watching that game, I said to myself, Yeah,
the if if it wasn't shut before, because because because
I I was pretty sure it was. I don't think
you'll see Alex Morgan playing the women's national team again
because Alex Morgan's not filling the middle, right, She's not
She's not weird talking about a little bit off air
(12:46):
you and I and only if she's offside, which was
her complete problem at the world because she's offside off
because she can't get up there anymore. She's just not
the player she wasn't.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Well, you're trying, you're trying to be smart, get an edge,
and it's the old thing like like it's if you're
a defender, well, they're not going to call the fall
on me every time, right, If you're a cornerback in
the NFL, they're not gonna throw a flag for holding.
All the time Alex Morgan was playing me, they're not
gonna flag me for offside.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
They are, they're gonna throw it. Unfortunately, the flag is
gonna go up every time.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
But the bigger thing for hers is she still had
those issues and was drilling her penalty kicks.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
You at least have a washed. The problem is she's not.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Efficient in that anymore either.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
She's gonna have to be okay with the Megan Rapinal
role of sometime maybe you play, maybe you don't. If
we're down and we need some offense late and things
aren't going well, Hey, maybe the seventy fifth minute you
go in and and maybe you're maybe you're that kind
of player. But outside of that, her national career is over.
It's the birth of the new era and we saw
(13:46):
that against Germany on Sunday, and I think we're gonna
see a continuation of it because of the chemistry and
the confidence and the way that I mean, I was
blown away by the way they played that they all
played together up top again in that game against her.
Me blow it away? Now I feel okay. Now at
the dawn of a new era.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
There you go, Australia promise of a new day Australia
six to one underdogs A draw is priced at what
plus four thirty and the over under on goals two
and a half?

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, live from the ti rack dot Com Studios.
MLB trade deadline has come and gone. Every single team
made at least seven trades today, or at least it
felt that way. Okay, but the big story right now
(16:33):
is about the team that didn't. Jack Flaherty was the
big prize of the day, the Dodgers making a trade
for him. They give up their eight and twenty two
rank prospect according to MLB. On Fox's Ken Rosenthal, we
talked about this last hour. The Yankees weren't in on Flaherty,
but backed out due to medical concerns. Now we know
(16:53):
that Flarherty's had a couple of injections for his lower back,
but after coming off the ils jet injected. Inject inject, injected,
just got injected. I'll give you this for a future,
just got injected. There you go, there you go. But
his last three starts have been lights out. He's been
(17:15):
really good. The Dodgers get Flaherty. What was going on
with the Yankees? Nobody better to talk to than MLBON
Network than MLB Network Inside or Extraored Mare joining us
for the second night in a row, all new material
because we had the trade deadline. It's John Paul Morosi,
John Paul, what's happening, Bud.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Good evening, My friends. I am in Philadelphia, so still
the same city where I was twenty four hours ago,
but the circumstances dramatically different. The deadline has passed, no
more trades until November. But we've got a lot of
entertainment and of course second guessings between now and then,
which is where I suspect our conversation begins tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Well, I thought when you said, hey, same location last night,
except things are different. I thought, did you dress up
as the Philly fanatic tonight?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Oh, that would have been interesting. Now I'm still I'm
still wearing the same sport coat that I was wearing
for my first MLB's Central appearance of the Day at
nine to fifteen AM just a few hours ago. But
that's why I love the Deadline, because we get to
just talk baseball all day long. And the other thing
(18:26):
about Jack Flaherty and you discussed it as we came
on the air, and Ken Rosenthal's reporting on this at
the end of the day. I'm not a doctor. I'm
married to one, but I'm not one, and she would
not really want to rent her an opinion on this anyway.
But what I would say is this, I don't know
what Jack Claarerity's medicals say. The Yankees won't tell us
(18:47):
what they saw, The Dodgers won't tell us what they saw.
But clearly the Dodgers felt as though he could help them.
To your point, his recent performances have been really good.
Three starts in a row in which he's given up one,
two and one runs, so he's he's in good form
right now, and we will know in October how many
starts he makes and how many starts the comparable spot
(19:11):
in the Yankee rotation, whether it's nes Er Cortez Junior,
whomever it is, it's the third or four starter of
the Yankees. That's when we will know who actually won
this trade and whose medical assessment was correct.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You know, here's the thing, John Paul is, I don't
think the Dodgers are trading for a guy who's got
really bad medicals. And I look at the Yankees and
I'm not surprised because unless it's a guy getting dumped
in their lap like Juan Soto, Brian Cashman has been
afraid of big trades for the past five or six years.
I don't know what it is. When the Yankees turned into, well,
we're not that team. We're not gonna swing for the fins.
(19:45):
We're not gonna go bold. You know, the Nankees need stuff.
They were betting JD. Davis a cleanup a week ago.
I like getting Jazz Chisholm, I like getting Mark Lighter.
Those are nice moves. But here was a big move
for a starting pitcher, and I'm not surprised the Yankees
found a way to back away from it because I
feel like they get a trade and.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Again it may be a bit of buyer's remorse on
the Frankie Montos deal a couple of years ago, and
Ken mentioned that in his piece of The Athletic about
how that might be useful context to what happened with
the Yankees with Flarity. I'll say this the medical review
on Carlos Korea's foot relative to a multi year deal,
(20:25):
it's a franchise changer vis a vis A two month
rental of Jack Flaherty on an expiring contract is very different.
And I think that for a starting pitcher. You think
about the Philadelphia Phillies, who when Pedro Martinez was on
his was making the last run of his illustrious Hall
(20:45):
of Fame career, do you think that was the clean
MRI and he was still pitching in the World Series
for them in late October in a Phillies Yankees World
Series that was, of course the same matches that we
saw tonight here at Citizens Bank Park. So I think
it's all a mastter of risk management. And the Yankees
seem to think and believe that what they had going
(21:06):
on right now and their overall pitching depth chart, they
were in a position where they felt okay with what
they had internally, I would suggest to you that there's
certainly a lot of issues with the Yankees with the
backside of their depth. Even Garrett Cole tonight wasn't even
well enough to make his start because he's not feeling well,
(21:28):
fatigue is setting in. There's a lot of issues that
I've got right now. And I think that when you
talk about the New York Yankees and their inability to
advance to a World Series in fifteen years, often it
has been a lack of having sufficient starting pitching depth
when you get to the postseason. If they don't have
(21:49):
this group on all cylinders and going, and if Cole
doesn't become Garrett Cole again, and if Cortes can't be solid,
if you think about ro Don he's been able to
do this year. They need to keep this group on
this trajectory of getting them deep into games, and if
they can't do that, it's going to be potentially another
early October exit for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Dig that you got risk management in there a couple
of times, seeing as the assistant to the traveling Secretary,
George Costanza, once had to go a speech about risk management.
All right, let's go to the Padres. Obviously, I make
fun of the White Sox because of what they did
with Dylan Ceeese, kind of giving him away in the preseason.
So they already got their starter, but they go and
bolster the bullpen by adding Scott couple arms. Do they
(22:36):
have enough for rotation wise to challenge the Dodgers?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Well, I think that's a big question. I was told
earlier in this week that they were going to get
an impact starting pitcher. They didn't. And now in terms
of how how the moves played out, could you potentially
see the second piece they got coming over from the
Miami Marlins, could he end up making some starts potentially?
(23:00):
Maybe that that's a possibility, But I would think in general,
you're focused more on the on the bullpen side of things,
with Jason Adam joining Scott as this amazing duo at
the back end of the bullpen, and listen, they've done
a good job. One thing I always say about about
a j preller is that he he goes for it.
He is not afraid to make a move, and I
(23:22):
think that that that started way back in spring training
with Dylan Ceas. It continued with Luis Araas and now
a very impactful several days. The second pitcher, by the way,
that I was referring to Bryan Honig, who's actually had
some start at the major league level this year with
the Marlin, so maybe they look at him as potentially
a depth starting pitcher. They also ended up getting Martin Perez,
(23:43):
so he wasn't a hugely impactful high end necessarily first
or second starter, but he gives you depth, and so
that's another another arm we should talk about and acknowledge.
They did add Martin Perez, So I think when I
talk about AJ Brethers teams, I love that he's not
afraid to make a move. And what you said earlier
(24:03):
about the New York Yankees and Brian Cashman and not
getting the starting pictures that it seems like they needed.
We have to look at things in retrospect and consider
how the season all came together. You also have to
look at the way the last year the Texas Rangers
made it to the World Series and won the World
Series because of the moves they made during the course
(24:24):
of that season. And so often it is that that
this day, the deadline day, determines who the last team
standing is at the end of October early November. I
think the Yankees have to hope that it's not that
case this season because they did not have the most
impactful deadline, although you have to acknowledge they did get
Jazz Schism a few days ago, and he just hit
four home runs in two games here at Citizens Bank Park,
(24:47):
So I think the offensive side of their upgrade looks
great right now.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
All right, John Paul Ifi said to you, the two
teams that you like the most what they did today,
your two big winners of the trade deadline, And it
could be from today, it could be in totality the
last few days into today. What two teams you're giving
that you like the most? What they did.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
So on the buying side, I think Baltimore did very well.
They were able to get Rogers from the Marlins in
addition to having already acquired Zach E. Flynn in a
deal with Tampa Bay. They got Alloyd Hitmenez as well
from the Chicago White Sox, and they've added some value
and I think some impact collectively. So I like what
Baltimore did. Seattle, I think, again incrementally, that they did
(25:31):
a pretty good job of continuing to add talent led
by Randy Rose Arena. I love their pitching. I just
I love their pitching with what they've got there, so
I think and believe they've added enough to really give
a different tenor to this team going forward. A big
win tonight at Fenway at ten six victory for the Mariners,
I think they're on the right track. I also like
the way that the Marlins sold. They did a really
(25:53):
good job of getting a ton of prospects from the Padres,
and I think in general, you look at other teams
that were aggressive in selling, I'm not quite sure anybody
quite matched up to the strength of what they were
able to do with the Marlins. The Tigers did okay.
I thought they again maybe with the flarity dynamic, they
had to do the best they could with the injury uncertainty,
(26:16):
and so maybe they get a bit of a hall
pass there. I think that's probably some very important context
of what the Tigers are able to do. But I
think in general, the Marlins were the best seller, and
of the buying teams I liked with Baltimore and Seattle
did the best.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Look at that he made me be the bad guy,
John Paul. As we go to the other end of
the spectrum. Could you have a worse day than the
Angels did? The Angel Yeah, so here's Ren Doane back
to the IL Mike Trout operations shut down. Yeah, you
made a couple of moves, but there's nothing substantive there
(26:50):
on the surface. Right, So I thought of those bad
headline after bad headline.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I agree. I thought it would have been do you
think about it. I thought they could have had a
deal for Renhifo. They did, and I thought they could
have moved together ward. They didn't. To your point, Trout
is now shut down. Rendon back to the I L
there's not a lot of good things that have happened
for this organization. I mean, you can go far back,
but really it almost it's never been as great as
(27:18):
it was the Knights that Trout and Otanni faced off
in the World Baseball Classic. Basically since then, not a
whole lot of good things have happened for them. That
was like the high point. And neither player was actually
wearing an Angel jersey at the time.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, so that that that is kind of thee It was, Yeah,
it really was.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
But I think that you're right, and and it's amazing
how it's hard to say this how irrelevant they feel
right now after when Trout isn't playing and Otani's no
longer there. Rendon has been minimally impactful really since he
signed his contract with with the Angels. It's it's tough,
(27:59):
it's it is a tough thing to contemplate what the
future of their organization is going to be at a
time where they just don't really have a lot of
recognizable players on the field for them every day. And
you're right, they traded Luis Garcia over to Boston. I
think he will help them out, but you're not going
to rebuild your team by trading seventh inning relievers and
(28:20):
doing the best you can to potentially add value that way.
I mean, Zach Netto's come up, he's done, He's I
think he's a frontline shortstop for a long time. Shaanawell
is okay over at first. Ohapi's a good catcher, but
it is not a winning team, and I think that's
a real concern for them right now.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
He is a man still wearing the jacket he started
the day with. When speaking of that, I started the
day with you. First thing I saw today on TV
when I woke up, I turned on I watched your
hit on MLB Network with Lauren Shahati, and let me
tell you something. You look so powerful because they show
you all of Lauren Shahati and your head is so
big in the in the in the uh, in the
(28:58):
in the in the It started like, your head is
so big. I feel like you're about to say, I'm
canceling the Avengers initiative. Let's go arrest Captain America. Like,
you look right powerful because your head is so big
in that monitor. Just attack people.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
That's that's a great that's a great observation. At some point,
at some point, I may ask our director why that's
the case. But I I'll just I'll let I'll let
the world draw its own conclusions on that one.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I suppose you're the great.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
A powerful Odds, what are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Come on now, I do have a few thoughts on
Major League Baseball from time to time. But but I
would say that my my understanding of why I will
say that, actually, those those those drop down tablets that
we have in studio are pretty cool, and the way
they're all digitized. I mean, like I'm I'm like the
(29:51):
least hecky guy in the world. I just think It's
cool that they find a way to put me on
TV every day, and I'm grateful and blessed for that.
But how it all happened, and if I seem like
the all knowing oz, hey, I appreciate that thought and
that means a lot to me.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Thank you very much, John Paul Morosi. He's like fifteen
feet tall.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
You can go and see the wizard.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Hey, I've advanced quite far from the time when I
was a five foot seven high school quarterback who couldn't
even see over his own offensive.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Line jump back.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That made me feel That made me feel quite insignificant.
I would say, like, guys, like, we need you to
throw the ball down the field and check down from
the free safety to the strong side corner. So, yeah, guys,
it's a brilliant idea. I can't see any of those people, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
So I don't know what right.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I can't see anybody. Okay, So you're trying to tell
me I I gotta check down? And are they going
to cover two? Are they in a cover three?
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, these are all great questions. I can't answer them.
I am unable to perceive the answers to the questions
you're asking me. So I here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna get the snap, but I'm gonna run around
like I'm trying to save my life because I am,
and hope that I can throw about down the field.
That's that's exactly what the plan is gonna be. And
and you saw how many games we won. Two games
and two years, guys, two games and two years. That's
why that's why I talk about sports and don't play them.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Hey, that was that was the Lions plan for about
a decade, John Paul. That's not bad. He's on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
They're they're about they're coming back. Though. I think we're
on national TV like six times. I think we're gonna
have full live team coverage of my predictions. I think
you're gonna have to credential me when they're on National
Team Show, Come on now live predictions from Morossi. It's
gonna become a segment. It's gonna become a thing.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
And I'm thinking he'll pick the lines to score twenty
seven points like he did every game last year. He
began at twenty four in there once. Oh yeah, there's
twenty four and there.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Wasn't feeling great about the offense that week.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
For the For our next question the pres commas, we're
gonna go to John Morossi at Fox Sports Radio. Yes,
Dan Campbell, will the score tonight be twenty seven to fourteen?
I'm feeling twenty seven fourteen.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
He's on Twitter and John Morosi at John Morosi. I'd
love I would pay, I would pay your plane ticket
to see you ask him that question the press conference.
John Paul is always buddy, appreciate. Hey, my best is turned.
He did a great job today.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
He did.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
He did well. Paul Black, good trade, good trade.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
He's got a full wizard of OUs thing going on there.
Mega mind whatever you want to do. Yeah, let's get
to what injected?
Speaker 1 (32:32):
That was fast I shirt? What's Barry Bonds? In fact?
On TV? It's find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports from Kevin Wired.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Obs fall the big story of the day, both with
the trade deadline and with several good games going on
on the diamond right now. First, for the trade deadline,
the Dodgers the big winners of the day, boosting their
starting rotation by acquiring Jack Flowerty from the Detroit Tigers
in exchange for a couple of minor leaguers getting help
in the outfield. As well is Los Angeles as they're
(32:59):
all also acquiring Kevin Kiermier from the Toronto Blue Jays
and it's going even better for them on the diamond tonight.
For Los Angeles, they're leading the Padres right now, five
to three. They're currently in the bottom of the seventh
inning over in San Diego. And speaking of the Padres,
they got helped for their bullpen, Tanner Scott going from
the Marlins to San Diego. The Marlins also trading away
(33:21):
outfielder Brian dala Cruz to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Baltimore
Orioles getting you Lloyd Jimenez from the Chicago White Sox,
and earlier today the Orioles pound the Blue Jays six
to two the final in Baltimore. A couple other games
going on around Major League Baseball. Diamondbacks on a roll
right now, They're on their way. They're actually have won
(33:42):
six of their past seven games, and they're on their
way to another victory as they're leading the Nationals thirteen
to nothing, Genio Suarez with two home runs so far.
Tonight for the Snakes Athletics, beginning their first game of
the final four game Bay Area Series, because the Athletics
of course off to Sacramento next year, so the last
(34:03):
time they'll be playing the Giants as a Bay Area arrival,
and they're getting the best of them so far. As
the Eighties leading this one for nothing. They're in the
bomb of the seventh inning. Over in San Francisco, Angels
and Rockies, it's the Halos on top seven to six.
They're in the seventh inning in Anaheim. Everything else has
gone final. The Mets shutting out the Minnesota Twins two nothing,

Guardian shoutout the Tigers five to nothing. NFL News, DJ
Moore getting a contract extension from the Bears four.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Years and one hundred million. Back to you guys, Thank you.
K dub The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carmon. So great stuff on the MLB trade deadline.
We'll have more on that coming up in a few minutes,
but straight ahead. If you told me this big event
from the Olympics today was fixed, I'd believe you. That's
next right here, Jason and Mike Fox just got fixxed.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
If you told me an Olympic basketball game was fixed today,
I would say, yeah, I can't disagree with you, certainly.
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen Live from the
Tireck dot Com Studios France and Japan Pool play in
Basketball Japan, Dirty Pool playing Japan? Well, Hey, I like that.
(35:53):
Japan could have pulled one of the biggest upsets in
Olympic basketball history. Look Wenby and from I really worry
about Wemby and France in four years, like how good
they're going to be. But there are a couple of
calls today that the officials made. You talk about hometown
officiating that if you said to me that game was
(36:14):
fixed for France to win because they're the host nation
and that's why they're I would not be able to
steer you wrong.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Seventeen and a half was the spread.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
You had a couple of incredible calls, and I still
can't believe all these hours later, you had the four
point play at the end of regulation which allowed France
to tie the game, in which they went to overtime
in one not a foul, not nearly a foul on
the attempted three that goes in, But it goes in,
They get the three, they hit the free throw, they
(36:42):
go to over. Yeah, you give them the old stral dazzle.
Not even close, not even close to a foul, not
even close. But that I understand more than ejecting Rui Hachimura,
who was single handedly winning the game and keeping France
from winning.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
What was he in ten of sixteen from the field
and twenty four points in the game.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
He was hitting turnaround. I mean, the Lakers are going.
Where the hell has this guy been the last couple
of years? My god, he was.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Single Convince him it's feba. Convince of it's feba.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
He was single handedly keeping Japan ahead and they were
gonna win. And he gets ejected for his second bad
foul of the game, which they said was over the line.
All he did was pulled down on the arm a
little bit on a layup style. Was a foul? Was
(37:33):
it a foul? It was a complete give. He wasn't
running from behind, didn't hit him from behind, didn't do anything.
He just pulled on his arm a little bit. It's
a foul. Yeah, you go to the free throw line.
But it was reviewed to be over the line. Second
foul like that in the game, and he got a ject.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
The explanation, but it took two guys to finish the
minute long explanation, and I was watching, I couldn't keep
a straight face. I'm like, really, we're gonna go review
this and we're gonna throw this guy out in an
Olympic competition because he stopped a guy from dunking the
(38:08):
ball or taking an easy layup to force him to
the free throw line.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Really, that's what we're doing. That was worse than the
foul call. Well, actually you expected the foul call at them.
If they did that to Hotch, the more you know
there could be a defender five feet away, you're still
getting the whistle at least. And then they went back
and looked at it and said this is ejection worthy,
like that's where all these officials should be sent home
and not allowed to officiate another game like that. I
(38:34):
felt awful for Japan because this is how you're gonna
go on if your France all is a pool play game,
and no, we are making sure that we moved France on.
If you told me that was fixed and the officials
were completely officiating that game for France, I would say, yes, absolutely.
I can't tell you no, I can't tell you.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
It's one of those games where you're watching and you
got to decide it. Underdog again seventeen and a half.
The number you see, the height disadvantages and all of
these things, and the work they were doing defensively shut
down wembin Yama at times like wow, that was a
big top lock. Put that on your highlight reel. That
might get you you know, a summer you know, a
(39:13):
G League call up as we get back into action
here going forward. But the as soon as Hatcha Mura
went out, and I had no real dog in the
fight other than I just want to watch the game,
see what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
I have a little bit of fun, Like no.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
I'm now actively cheering for Japan, like this is ridiculous.
And then the foul call at least live action without
the benefit of the replub like all right, maybe you
got a hand up on the hip or whatever, Like no,
you saw a bunch of replays and stills or whatever,
like no, there's nothing there, big shot, great shot. Fine,
should have been a one point game.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
But you but the fact. But the facts. Okay, we're
gonna throw the best player on the other team out
of the game. That's how we're gonna even the playing field.
Boy Hachimura is killing it. Don't worry, we got you.
Don't worry about it. Foul injection, We're gone.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
But if this goes back to the same level that
you just want an even evenly called game, because there
were a couple of times where you'd see one of
the smaller guards get absolutely obliterated It's like, that wasn't
a basketball play. How about were you going to review that?
Can we start throwing challenge flags on this? Those guys
should never be allowed to officiate another game.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I don't know how. I don't know how you defend that.
I don't know how you go back and look at
it and say, yes, you're out of the game. Like
the only way they could defend it was be we're
throwing you out. You gonna go back and look at it. Nope,
let's move on.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Let's move like if he'd gone head hunting right, or
he'd try to come over the top and push down whatever.
Like literally, it was just he grabbed his arm to
stop him from from There was nothing dangerous, there was not.
I mean, it's very innocuous. It's a foul. It's a foul.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
You're going to the free throw line because they're grabbing
your own But well that was that was it. It
was sportsmanlike, you know what, I really want to rose
to the level in those officials minds. As bad now,
as bad as that was, and as bad as I
called for those officials to be thrown ejected, yeah, to
be ejected in and sent home from the games. We'll
(41:06):
have a little more on this coming up next to this, Boy,
do I have a really fun idea? I get a
really fun idea. Plus, we got more in the trade deadline.
What team does everybody have to look out for after today?
We'll tell you that's coming up next. Right here, Jason

But I gotta tell you watching the Olympics now on tape.
I like watching the Olympics night because I get to
catch up on some of the events that I missed
during sure, of course, because I want you.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Know, there's a lot going on. Man, there's a lot
of time. I mean, you don't have nine televisions in
your house. I'm aware of even.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
If you have peacock or yeah, you know, you go, Okay,
what's on NBC, what's on USA? Oh yeah, it's tough.
So I get to watch stuff like handball because I could.
To be honest with you, I think I could. Now
I couldn't do it anymore because you know I'm fifty three,
but younger, I would have been a great handball play.
I thought you were being honest. No, no, no, I would
(01:31):
have been a great hand But I thought you were
being honest. I am being honest. I would have been
a great hand like now wait, he's got some theories,
I think. No, no, no, like now, I would be a
great sweeper in curling, right, I mean that's easy. How
how he's really? Yeah? All you do is keep my
balance and sweep. That's all. I don't think you have
the shoulder stretch. No, I get how long ab have
to sweep for the guy yells hey, hey hey, and
(01:54):
then done. It's a hell of a good time. No,
it looks great, it looks great.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
We had a curling glove up when we lived in
the Northeast.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think it was awesome. I could trush when yeah,
And I don't know that I could be a guy
to roll the stone. I don't know they'd be that
because I don't think I can get my legs in
that position where it's got to be one leg rolling up.
Maybe I would have some kind of hey, I didn't know,
that's a new way to do it. Jason just kind
of runs and falls on his stomach and pushes it.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
We may have had a couple of people after a
beer or two.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Where that happened. But here handball because you don't have
to be fast because you can't really run. Okay, so
that's great, but you have a good first step, but
you don't have a good first step, but the whole,
the whole taking couple of steps and jumping and throwing
as hard as.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Almost like it's a Superman punch. That looks like the
coolest thing in the world.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The slow motion. I can't wait for the tops now.
I mean, that's why why I say make sure you
get a poster every time I jump and throw that ball,
because I'm gonna throw it one hundred and fifty miles
an hour. I feel like we need to get Elijah
back in here, and we need to at least simulate that.
Oh dude, I could and look because he can add
some some extra inches underneath your feet to make it
look like you actually caught some air.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Okay, yeah, sure, sure, you know we can make it
and then we can build it into a poster. I
know a place where we can get custom training cards
that could be your official card.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, with a with a real snarley look on my
face and defender just cowering, and I got my left
hand out and my right hand is back ready to
throw the crap out of that ball.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Because we can also then take it back into photoshop
and make you look like you're about to throw down
a big spell in Harry potter Land. So it all
works together.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
See now, I'm thinking I could be the older guy
to go in at the end when you need offense,
because I'd be instant offense, Like give me that ball
and I'll find a way to throw it in. I'll
find a way to throw it in the net. Don't
worry about I'll find a way to jump and move
and change arm angles and throw like that.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
The jumping and the throwing is like I'm jumping in
the throwing is the problem.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't know that there's a cooler thing in sports
other than if I was Edwin Diaz getting to come
out to NARCO. I know there's a cooler thing in
sports to then be that guy you can put one
hand out and clear your way and got the throw
that ball. The posters and the pictures. My entire house
you'd have wallpaper of just different pictures of me leaping
in the air and the look on my face and throw. Yeah,
(04:10):
mister Goodman, is this your homework, Larry, This is your homework, Larry.
I would I would have a great handball player. I
would have been. I would have been. It mixes, It
mixes basketball and soccer and baseball. It's cool.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I think you want in. I think you need to
find a local league.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, you know, I gotta. I gotta work on my arm.
I gotta work on my arm. I gotta because you can't.
You can't just show up and do.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I gotta get you some bands and we'll get you
back to work.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Max. There we go. Hey, Hey, you know what, I
could just knock people out of the way, boom elbow
and leap and throw. This is where the try seventy
oh and as many as you need, as many as
you need. If you go and find some, get me
some of those stickers they're giving away, okay, with a toy,
without with a toyer, without a toy, without a toy,
as many as you want. Well, but the toy right
(04:58):
now is Olympic stickers. How do you know?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
How do you? How do you know more about McDonald's
about that than I do. I just went to McDonald's tonight.
It's got my drink right, because.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I was gonna write you to say, hey, get me
a happy meal. I want the Panini stickers. I celebrated
trade deadline day? Do they for the Mets with.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
McDonald for you? Yeah, buddy? And the shutout of the Twins.
See how you're celebrating that too much? Our boss might
not like that. No, that's okay. That boss isn't gonna
like No. I've been I've been texting with Scott Shapiro.
He's he's fine. I keep texting him brooms. Yes, I
texted him a broom. He's a big twinsun.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Is he gonna not respond like your family?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's now?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
He responded, He responded, and and everything is fine. He
was like, no, No, he's been fine. He's been good
and listen if he fires me because the Mets sweep
the Twins, I'm okay with it for two reasons. One,
we got to sweep the three wins for the Mets. Secondly,
I have a great lawsuit against the company. You come
on fired for being a Mets fan.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
No, no, no, but you are harassing. You were harassing your
boss harassing. I was sending Yeah exactly. He would say,
why did you send the broom? I want to let
him know that I was cleaning the studio. You caused
him emotional distress.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Now you lose. I was cleaning the studio. I want
to live in California. You lose. The studio was dirty
and I was cleaning it for him. You know what
it is?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
The third thing you forgot that is that it becomes
the Mike Harmon Show.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
A Harmon You're gonna testify for him?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh yeah, sure, sure, Mike Harmon. U was Jason trying
to clean the studio? Oh no, he's completely trolling Scotch Piro.
He would send him in appropriate pictures all the time
to he would say, stuff, let me tell you what
he's done.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
The Mike Harmon Show is here, as you Pip off your.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Shirt after your testimony with the Mike Harmon Show, and
it's got lights.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So it's Society of seven to eleven Pacific list of
all the affiliates that it's right. The back is just
with my swol back. It's the hundreds of affiliates nationwide
and the global link to the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Let's go the Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live
the IRAQ dot Com Studios. We'll have more on the
MLB trade deadline coming up in about fifteen minutes. MLB
Network inside of John Paul Morose is gonna stop by
the big winners today, the Yankees backing out of the
biggest trade of the day. We'll have more details on that.
But the biggest event tomorrow in the Olympics, as we
(07:16):
get set, is going to be the next game for
Team USA for the women's national team in soccer as
they take on Australia. Hopefully have Peacock because the game
is on Peacock. I do yeah, I mean, look, I'm happy.
I'm happy with wherever they're going to be able to
go back and go back and watch stuff. I was
able to go back today and show Pam the end
of the rugby.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Watch this rugby that went viral immediately and obviously they're
getting a lot of attention, uh the last few days weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
But yeah, the the mega mixes are a lot of fun.
So I've got my multi screen experience, right, you got
it out of the TV, you got it on your iPad. Yeah,
it starts to get small, so you really can't tell
anybody apart. Yeah, like the individuals. But you know which
team is, which teams will go certain events? Doesn't You
don't know who they are anyway, it doesn't matter. Well,
and then you know, say you watch a basketball game.
I may have muted the France Japan game because the
(08:09):
call was not up to my professional standards that I
require for my entertainment.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
No. No, like my wife who say, when I'm watching
this morning, going, let me know when Fink is gonna swim?
Woll you know, just let me know. Okay, just because
the name is faint five minutes, Hey is Fink swimming?
Why why do you care about Fink? All I'll get
a story on him. His wife is pregnant, she's back home.
And my wife loves the summer Olympics. She was a
swimmer in high school. She was track and field in
high school, so she loves the swimming, loves the track fielders.
(08:36):
I want to see Fink. I go, you don't even
know who the hell this guy was.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
He started randomly playing violin music behind like they do
in those vignettes, and.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Suddenly I'm like, you want to see Fink. Okay, okay, fine,
all right, fine, Well it's Finke swimming yet. No, I'll
tell you when Fink is swimming. He's not swimming yet.
I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
My favorite is when they really have to reach front angle.
It's like, wait, he grew up in a gated community
and now we can't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, no, no, it says as mother was a lawyer,
his father was a professor. H yes, brothers a doctor,
us younger sisters in medical school.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
We're not doing a preview on that guy. They took
vacations every year they went. They traveled abroad. Uh. He
did a couple of semesters in college in London. He
did one semester in Spain. What do you want? Where's
where's the adversity? But tomorrow morning, the United States takes
on Australia final game of group play and I will
say this as as questioning as I was and nervous
as I was about the United States women's national team
(09:33):
coming into the Olympics. They don't play great in their
opening game against Ambie, but you know, it's expect Okay,
they expected rollover. They didn't score a lot, But what
did I say? This tournament starts Game two against Spain,
and seeing the chemistry and the power and the confidence
of the three forwards playing up top together, we really
(09:53):
may be now in the new era, a golden era
of soccer for the women's national team, because the way
they played against Spain, which against Germy Jerremany, Sorry Jermy.
The way they played excited Spain and the whole thing
with them, The way they played against the look Germany
is the fourth ranked team in the world, and the
way that we watch Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman and
(10:14):
Sophia Smith just absolutely control the game. It was eye
opening because we've seen Trinity Robin Sophia Smith play together
at the Olympics. They did not look great, and all
of a sudden, these are different players. Sophia Smith is
full of confidence, Trinity Robbin is showing a skill set
that we didn't see in the Olympics some of the
(10:35):
stuff she's able to do to create space and is amazing.
But the missing piece, as I've said, is Mallory Swanson
with they're going to win the gold medal, as I said,
because Mallory Swanson is putting the ball in the back
of the neck. Well to be a lot better, right.
I don't know if you score three or four goals, well.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
But how many near misses, how many opportunities, how many?
How many of those Ye're kind of like, wow, Okay,
that's a fortuitous bounce right off a defender's leg and
finds the inside.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Of the boat.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
They made a lot happen, right, And and that's and
that's the key, is that you're getting a consistent pressure,
you're getting attacks, and Swanson affords and requires so much
attention from the defense that everything opens up.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
The pass that goes through, it's not it's not coming
to her, it's the all right, I'm gonna let it's.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
A through ball. Trinity robs right.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
To the other side, right. And and it's just because
of the convergence on Swanson, because she's been dominant, getting
into the box and drawing the attention and the eyes
of the goalie are on her like everything else opens up.
Defensively needs to be tighter, right. They had a number
of opportunities and there was great and I'm sure Emma
Hayes has them working. But the fact that you know,
(11:52):
we're talking on both sides, men's and women's like an
offensive renaissance and resurgence, and that you have that speed
from Swanson, to have that third player up there, man, that.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That's just so much pressure for opposing defenses. It looks
like this is what we were waiting for. You know
how many times did I say, maybe it's as simple
as Mallory Swanson playing because Phil just filling the middle
on that first goal when three defenders had to suck
down to her because she she's right there and communicate better.
(12:26):
But here's the bigger part. Here's a bigger part of it. Now,
is that watching that game, I said to myself, Yeah,
the if if it wasn't shut before, because because because
I I was pretty sure it was. I don't think
you'll see Alex Morgan playing the women's national team again
because Alex Morgan's not filling the middle, right, She's not
She's not weird talking about a little bit off air
(12:46):
you and I and only if she's offside, which was
her complete problem at the world because she's offside off
because she can't get up there anymore. She's just not
the player she wasn't.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Well, you're trying, you're trying to be smart, get an edge,
and it's the old thing like like it's if you're
a defender, well, they're not going to call the fall
on me every time, right, If you're a cornerback in
the NFL, they're not gonna throw a flag for holding.
All the time Alex Morgan was playing me, they're not
gonna flag me for offside.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
They are, they're gonna throw it. Unfortunately, the flag is
gonna go up every time.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
But the bigger thing for hers is she still had
those issues and was drilling her penalty kicks.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
You at least have a washed. The problem is she's not.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Efficient in that anymore either.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
She's gonna have to be okay with the Megan Rapinal
role of sometime maybe you play, maybe you don't. If
we're down and we need some offense late and things
aren't going well, Hey, maybe the seventy fifth minute you
go in and and maybe you're maybe you're that kind
of player. But outside of that, her national career is over.
It's the birth of the new era and we saw
(13:46):
that against Germany on Sunday, and I think we're gonna
see a continuation of it because of the chemistry and
the confidence and the way that I mean, I was
blown away by the way they played that they all
played together up top again in that game against her.
Me blow it away? Now I feel okay. Now at
the dawn of a new era.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
There you go, Australia promise of a new day Australia
six to one underdogs A draw is priced at what
plus four thirty and the over under on goals two

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, live from the ti rack dot Com Studios.
MLB trade deadline has come and gone. Every single team
made at least seven trades today, or at least it
felt that way. Okay, but the big story right now
(16:33):
is about the team that didn't. Jack Flaherty was the
big prize of the day, the Dodgers making a trade
for him. They give up their eight and twenty two
rank prospect according to MLB. On Fox's Ken Rosenthal, we
talked about this last hour. The Yankees weren't in on Flaherty,
but backed out due to medical concerns. Now we know
(16:53):
that Flarherty's had a couple of injections for his lower back,
but after coming off the ils jet injected. Inject inject, injected,
just got injected. I'll give you this for a future,
just got injected. There you go, there you go. But
his last three starts have been lights out. He's been
(17:15):
really good. The Dodgers get Flaherty. What was going on
with the Yankees? Nobody better to talk to than MLBON
Network than MLB Network Inside or Extraored Mare joining us
for the second night in a row, all new material
because we had the trade deadline. It's John Paul Morosi,
John Paul, what's happening, Bud.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Good evening, My friends. I am in Philadelphia, so still
the same city where I was twenty four hours ago,
but the circumstances dramatically different. The deadline has passed, no
more trades until November. But we've got a lot of
entertainment and of course second guessings between now and then,
which is where I suspect our conversation begins tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Well, I thought when you said, hey, same location last night,
except things are different. I thought, did you dress up
as the Philly fanatic tonight?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Oh, that would have been interesting. Now I'm still I'm
still wearing the same sport coat that I was wearing
for my first MLB's Central appearance of the Day at
nine to fifteen AM just a few hours ago. But
that's why I love the Deadline, because we get to
just talk baseball all day long. And the other thing
(18:26):
about Jack Flaherty and you discussed it as we came
on the air, and Ken Rosenthal's reporting on this at
the end of the day. I'm not a doctor. I'm
married to one, but I'm not one, and she would
not really want to rent her an opinion on this anyway.
But what I would say is this, I don't know
what Jack Claarerity's medicals say. The Yankees won't tell us
(18:47):
what they saw, The Dodgers won't tell us what they saw.
But clearly the Dodgers felt as though he could help them.
To your point, his recent performances have been really good.
Three starts in a row in which he's given up one,
two and one runs, so he's he's in good form
right now, and we will know in October how many
starts he makes and how many starts the comparable spot
(19:11):
in the Yankee rotation, whether it's nes Er Cortez Junior,
whomever it is, it's the third or four starter of
the Yankees. That's when we will know who actually won
this trade and whose medical assessment was correct.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You know, here's the thing, John Paul is, I don't
think the Dodgers are trading for a guy who's got
really bad medicals. And I look at the Yankees and
I'm not surprised because unless it's a guy getting dumped
in their lap like Juan Soto, Brian Cashman has been
afraid of big trades for the past five or six years.
I don't know what it is. When the Yankees turned into, well,
we're not that team. We're not gonna swing for the fins.
(19:45):
We're not gonna go bold. You know, the Nankees need stuff.
They were betting JD. Davis a cleanup a week ago.
I like getting Jazz Chisholm, I like getting Mark Lighter.
Those are nice moves. But here was a big move
for a starting pitcher, and I'm not surprised the Yankees
found a way to back away from it because I
feel like they get a trade and.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Again it may be a bit of buyer's remorse on
the Frankie Montos deal a couple of years ago, and
Ken mentioned that in his piece of The Athletic about
how that might be useful context to what happened with
the Yankees with Flarity. I'll say this the medical review
on Carlos Korea's foot relative to a multi year deal,
(20:25):
it's a franchise changer vis a vis A two month
rental of Jack Flaherty on an expiring contract is very different.
And I think that for a starting pitcher. You think
about the Philadelphia Phillies, who when Pedro Martinez was on
his was making the last run of his illustrious Hall
(20:45):
of Fame career, do you think that was the clean
MRI and he was still pitching in the World Series
for them in late October in a Phillies Yankees World
Series that was, of course the same matches that we
saw tonight here at Citizens Bank Park. So I think
it's all a mastter of risk management. And the Yankees
seem to think and believe that what they had going
(21:06):
on right now and their overall pitching depth chart, they
were in a position where they felt okay with what
they had internally, I would suggest to you that there's
certainly a lot of issues with the Yankees with the
backside of their depth. Even Garrett Cole tonight wasn't even
well enough to make his start because he's not feeling well,
(21:28):
fatigue is setting in. There's a lot of issues that
I've got right now. And I think that when you
talk about the New York Yankees and their inability to
advance to a World Series in fifteen years, often it
has been a lack of having sufficient starting pitching depth
when you get to the postseason. If they don't have
(21:49):
this group on all cylinders and going, and if Cole
doesn't become Garrett Cole again, and if Cortes can't be solid,
if you think about ro Don he's been able to
do this year. They need to keep this group on
this trajectory of getting them deep into games, and if
they can't do that, it's going to be potentially another
early October exit for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Dig that you got risk management in there a couple
of times, seeing as the assistant to the traveling Secretary,
George Costanza, once had to go a speech about risk management.
All right, let's go to the Padres. Obviously, I make
fun of the White Sox because of what they did
with Dylan Ceeese, kind of giving him away in the preseason.
So they already got their starter, but they go and
bolster the bullpen by adding Scott couple arms. Do they
(22:36):
have enough for rotation wise to challenge the Dodgers?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Well, I think that's a big question. I was told
earlier in this week that they were going to get
an impact starting pitcher. They didn't. And now in terms
of how how the moves played out, could you potentially
see the second piece they got coming over from the
Miami Marlins, could he end up making some starts potentially?
(23:00):
Maybe that that's a possibility, But I would think in general,
you're focused more on the on the bullpen side of things,
with Jason Adam joining Scott as this amazing duo at
the back end of the bullpen, and listen, they've done
a good job. One thing I always say about about
a j preller is that he he goes for it.
He is not afraid to make a move, and I
(23:22):
think that that that started way back in spring training
with Dylan Ceas. It continued with Luis Araas and now
a very impactful several days. The second pitcher, by the way,
that I was referring to Bryan Honig, who's actually had
some start at the major league level this year with
the Marlin, so maybe they look at him as potentially
a depth starting pitcher. They also ended up getting Martin Perez,
(23:43):
so he wasn't a hugely impactful high end necessarily first
or second starter, but he gives you depth, and so
that's another another arm we should talk about and acknowledge.
They did add Martin Perez, So I think when I
talk about AJ Brethers teams, I love that he's not
afraid to make a move. And what you said earlier
(24:03):
about the New York Yankees and Brian Cashman and not
getting the starting pictures that it seems like they needed.
We have to look at things in retrospect and consider
how the season all came together. You also have to
look at the way the last year the Texas Rangers
made it to the World Series and won the World
Series because of the moves they made during the course
(24:24):
of that season. And so often it is that that
this day, the deadline day, determines who the last team
standing is at the end of October early November. I
think the Yankees have to hope that it's not that
case this season because they did not have the most
impactful deadline, although you have to acknowledge they did get
Jazz Schism a few days ago, and he just hit
four home runs in two games here at Citizens Bank Park,
(24:47):
So I think the offensive side of their upgrade looks
great right now.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
All right, John Paul Ifi said to you, the two
teams that you like the most what they did today,
your two big winners of the trade deadline, And it
could be from today, it could be in totality the
last few days into today. What two teams you're giving
that you like the most? What they did.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
So on the buying side, I think Baltimore did very well.
They were able to get Rogers from the Marlins in
addition to having already acquired Zach E. Flynn in a
deal with Tampa Bay. They got Alloyd Hitmenez as well
from the Chicago White Sox, and they've added some value
and I think some impact collectively. So I like what
Baltimore did. Seattle, I think, again incrementally, that they did
(25:31):
a pretty good job of continuing to add talent led
by Randy Rose Arena. I love their pitching. I just
I love their pitching with what they've got there, so
I think and believe they've added enough to really give
a different tenor to this team going forward. A big
win tonight at Fenway at ten six victory for the Mariners,
I think they're on the right track. I also like
the way that the Marlins sold. They did a really
(25:53):
good job of getting a ton of prospects from the Padres,
and I think in general, you look at other teams
that were aggressive in selling, I'm not quite sure anybody
quite matched up to the strength of what they were
able to do with the Marlins. The Tigers did okay.
I thought they again maybe with the flarity dynamic, they
had to do the best they could with the injury uncertainty,
(26:16):
and so maybe they get a bit of a hall
pass there. I think that's probably some very important context
of what the Tigers are able to do. But I
think in general, the Marlins were the best seller, and
of the buying teams I liked with Baltimore and Seattle
did the best.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Look at that he made me be the bad guy,
John Paul. As we go to the other end of
the spectrum. Could you have a worse day than the
Angels did? The Angel Yeah, so here's Ren Doane back
to the IL Mike Trout operations shut down. Yeah, you
made a couple of moves, but there's nothing substantive there
(26:50):
on the surface. Right, So I thought of those bad
headline after bad headline.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I agree. I thought it would have been do you
think about it. I thought they could have had a
deal for Renhifo. They did, and I thought they could
have moved together ward. They didn't. To your point, Trout
is now shut down. Rendon back to the I L
there's not a lot of good things that have happened
for this organization. I mean, you can go far back,
but really it almost it's never been as great as
(27:18):
it was the Knights that Trout and Otanni faced off
in the World Baseball Classic. Basically since then, not a
whole lot of good things have happened for them. That
was like the high point. And neither player was actually
wearing an Angel jersey at the time.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, so that that that is kind of thee It was, Yeah,
it really was.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
But I think that you're right, and and it's amazing
how it's hard to say this how irrelevant they feel
right now after when Trout isn't playing and Otani's no
longer there. Rendon has been minimally impactful really since he
signed his contract with with the Angels. It's it's tough,
(27:59):
it's it is a tough thing to contemplate what the
future of their organization is going to be at a
time where they just don't really have a lot of
recognizable players on the field for them every day. And
you're right, they traded Luis Garcia over to Boston. I
think he will help them out, but you're not going
to rebuild your team by trading seventh inning relievers and
(28:20):
doing the best you can to potentially add value that way.
I mean, Zach Netto's come up, he's done, He's I
think he's a frontline shortstop for a long time. Shaanawell
is okay over at first. Ohapi's a good catcher, but
it is not a winning team, and I think that's
a real concern for them right now.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
He is a man still wearing the jacket he started
the day with. When speaking of that, I started the
day with you. First thing I saw today on TV
when I woke up, I turned on I watched your
hit on MLB Network with Lauren Shahati, and let me
tell you something. You look so powerful because they show
you all of Lauren Shahati and your head is so
big in the in the in the uh, in the
(28:58):
in the in the It started like, your head is
so big. I feel like you're about to say, I'm
canceling the Avengers initiative. Let's go arrest Captain America. Like,
you look right powerful because your head is so big
in that monitor. Just attack people.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
That's that's a great that's a great observation. At some point,
at some point, I may ask our director why that's
the case. But I I'll just I'll let I'll let
the world draw its own conclusions on that one.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I suppose you're the great.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
A powerful Odds, what are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Come on now, I do have a few thoughts on
Major League Baseball from time to time. But but I
would say that my my understanding of why I will
say that, actually, those those those drop down tablets that
we have in studio are pretty cool, and the way
they're all digitized. I mean, like I'm I'm like the
(29:51):
least hecky guy in the world. I just think It's
cool that they find a way to put me on
TV every day, and I'm grateful and blessed for that.
But how it all happened, and if I seem like
the all knowing oz, hey, I appreciate that thought and
that means a lot to me.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Thank you very much, John Paul Morosi. He's like fifteen
feet tall.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
You can go and see the wizard.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Hey, I've advanced quite far from the time when I
was a five foot seven high school quarterback who couldn't
even see over his own offensive.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Line jump back.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That made me feel That made me feel quite insignificant.
I would say, like, guys, like, we need you to
throw the ball down the field and check down from
the free safety to the strong side corner. So, yeah, guys,
it's a brilliant idea. I can't see any of those people, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
So I don't know what right.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I can't see anybody. Okay, So you're trying to tell
me I I gotta check down? And are they going
to cover two? Are they in a cover three?
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, these are all great questions. I can't answer them.
I am unable to perceive the answers to the questions
you're asking me. So I here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna get the snap, but I'm gonna run around
like I'm trying to save my life because I am,
and hope that I can throw about down the field.
That's that's exactly what the plan is gonna be. And
and you saw how many games we won. Two games
and two years, guys, two games and two years. That's
why that's why I talk about sports and don't play them.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Hey, that was that was the Lions plan for about
a decade, John Paul. That's not bad. He's on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
They're they're about they're coming back. Though. I think we're
on national TV like six times. I think we're gonna
have full live team coverage of my predictions. I think
you're gonna have to credential me when they're on National
Team Show, Come on now live predictions from Morossi. It's
gonna become a segment. It's gonna become a thing.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
And I'm thinking he'll pick the lines to score twenty
seven points like he did every game last year. He
began at twenty four in there once. Oh yeah, there's
twenty four and there.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Wasn't feeling great about the offense that week.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
For the For our next question the pres commas, we're
gonna go to John Morossi at Fox Sports Radio. Yes,
Dan Campbell, will the score tonight be twenty seven to fourteen?
I'm feeling twenty seven fourteen.
Speaker 1 (31:53):

love I would pay, I would pay your plane ticket
to see you ask him that question the press conference.

Obs fall the big story of the day, both with
the trade deadline and with several good games going on

Years and one hundred million. Back to you guys, Thank you.
K dub The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carmon. So great stuff on the MLB trade deadline.
We'll have more on that coming up in a few minutes,
but straight ahead. If you told me this big event
from the Olympics today was fixed, I'd believe you. That's
next right here, Jason and Mike Fox just got fixxed.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
If you told me an Olympic basketball game was fixed today,
I would say, yeah, I can't disagree with you, certainly.
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen Live from the
Tireck dot Com Studios France and Japan Pool play in
Basketball Japan, Dirty Pool playing Japan? Well, Hey, I like that.
(35:53):
Japan could have pulled one of the biggest upsets in
Olympic basketball history. Look Wenby and from I really worry
about Wemby and France in four years, like how good
they're going to be. But there are a couple of
calls today that the officials made. You talk about hometown
officiating that if you said to me that game was
(36:14):
fixed for France to win because they're the host nation
and that's why they're I would not be able to
steer you wrong.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Seventeen and a half was the spread.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
You had a couple of incredible calls, and I still
can't believe all these hours later, you had the four
point play at the end of regulation which allowed France
to tie the game, in which they went to overtime
in one not a foul, not nearly a foul on
the attempted three that goes in, But it goes in,
They get the three, they hit the free throw, they
(36:42):
go to over. Yeah, you give them the old stral dazzle.
Not even close, not even close to a foul, not
even close. But that I understand more than ejecting Rui Hachimura,
who was single handedly winning the game and keeping France
from winning.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
What was he in ten of sixteen from the field
and twenty four points in the game.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
He was hitting turnaround. I mean, the Lakers are going.
Where the hell has this guy been the last couple
of years? My god, he was.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Single Convince him it's feba. Convince of it's feba.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
He was single handedly keeping Japan ahead and they were
gonna win. And he gets ejected for his second bad
foul of the game, which they said was over the line.
All he did was pulled down on the arm a
little bit on a layup style. Was a foul? Was
(37:33):
it a foul? It was a complete give. He wasn't
running from behind, didn't hit him from behind, didn't do anything.
He just pulled on his arm a little bit. It's
a foul. Yeah, you go to the free throw line.
But it was reviewed to be over the line. Second
foul like that in the game, and he got a ject.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
The explanation, but it took two guys to finish the
minute long explanation, and I was watching, I couldn't keep
a straight face. I'm like, really, we're gonna go review
this and we're gonna throw this guy out in an
Olympic competition because he stopped a guy from dunking the
(38:08):
ball or taking an easy layup to force him to
the free throw line.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Really, that's what we're doing. That was worse than the
foul call. Well, actually you expected the foul call at them.
If they did that to Hotch, the more you know
there could be a defender five feet away, you're still
getting the whistle at least. And then they went back
and looked at it and said this is ejection worthy,
like that's where all these officials should be sent home
and not allowed to officiate another game like that. I
(38:34):
felt awful for Japan because this is how you're gonna
go on if your France all is a pool play game,
and no, we are making sure that we moved France on.
If you told me that was fixed and the officials
were completely officiating that game for France, I would say, yes, absolutely.
I can't tell you no, I can't tell you.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
It's one of those games where you're watching and you
got to decide it. Underdog again seventeen and a half.
The number you see, the height disadvantages and all of
these things, and the work they were doing defensively shut
down wembin Yama at times like wow, that was a
big top lock. Put that on your highlight reel. That
might get you you know, a summer you know, a
(39:13):
G League call up as we get back into action
here going forward. But the as soon as Hatcha Mura
went out, and I had no real dog in the
fight other than I just want to watch the game,
see what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
I have a little bit of fun, Like no.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
I'm now actively cheering for Japan, like this is ridiculous.
And then the foul call at least live action without
the benefit of the replub like all right, maybe you
got a hand up on the hip or whatever, Like no,
you saw a bunch of replays and stills or whatever,
like no, there's nothing there, big shot, great shot. Fine,
should have been a one point game.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
But you but the fact. But the facts. Okay, we're
gonna throw the best player on the other team out
of the game. That's how we're gonna even the playing field.
Boy Hachimura is killing it. Don't worry, we got you.
Don't worry about it. Foul injection, We're gone.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
But if this goes back to the same level that
you just want an even evenly called game, because there
were a couple of times where you'd see one of
the smaller guards get absolutely obliterated It's like, that wasn't
a basketball play. How about were you going to review that?
Can we start throwing challenge flags on this? Those guys
should never be allowed to officiate another game.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I don't know how. I don't know how you defend that.
I don't know how you go back and look at
it and say, yes, you're out of the game. Like
the only way they could defend it was be we're
throwing you out. You gonna go back and look at it. Nope,
let's move on.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Let's move like if he'd gone head hunting right, or
he'd try to come over the top and push down whatever.
Like literally, it was just he grabbed his arm to
stop him from from There was nothing dangerous, there was not.
I mean, it's very innocuous. It's a foul. It's a foul.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
You're going to the free throw line because they're grabbing
your own But well that was that was it. It
was sportsmanlike, you know what, I really want to rose
to the level in those officials minds. As bad now,
as bad as that was, and as bad as I
called for those officials to be thrown ejected, yeah, to
be ejected in and sent home from the games. We'll
(41:06):
have a little more on this coming up next to this, Boy,
do I have a really fun idea? I get a
really fun idea. Plus, we got more in the trade deadline.
What team does everybody have to look out for after today?
We'll tell you that's coming up next. Right here, Jason
and Mike, you are listening to Fox Sports Radio. Just
got injected.
