(00:49):
little bit of baseball, a little bit of football, John
Paul Morosi stopping buying a few minutes to break down
Day one of the MLB playoffs, and wow, I just
I can't stop let to myself the last few minutes
because Yankee fans and that I can't wait for my
dad to come over tomorrow. You see Michael King last night? Yeah, Dad,
(01:11):
he was great well, Padres beating the Braves for nothing
to take one game to none lead in the best
of three first round series. And Michael King, who was
a pretty decent reliever for the Yankees the last couple
of years. Yankees always looking for pitching. It's always my
dad has gone pitching is gonna kill it? Pitch, yes, pitching, Yes,
(01:32):
the Yankees can never find pitching. King's a pretty decent
reliever for them, right, doesn't doesn't pitch a lot of
but a pretty decent reliever. The Padres this year said
we're gonna turn you into a starter. And he has
a phenomenal year. He has an ace kind of year.
And we just watched him mow the Braves down for
seven innings, twelve strikeouts, five hits. The Braves never threatened.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
In this game.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You never got one that the Braves have even gotten
off the plane after yesterday. That's a different conversation. Swing's
ball moving, I mean like.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Throwing a whiffled.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Michael King's ball was this is where it'd be. We
want to check the spin rate compared to his other picture.
He's killing of course thee Hey, you know we had
this guy, right, you know we had this guy we
had king right, and we decided to let him go
because we'd like these other guys that I don't even
know who the hell they are, not even n and
now we could add this guy, and now we don't.
(02:30):
All right, so that's your fault. Well you later, you're
gonna know what's your fault. I don't care. I don't
care if you're a Yankee fan or not. Well, I'm
just gonna be really hit, which just that's how it goes,
because I'm really mad about this. We're really really mad.
And that's what my dad will say to me tomorrow,
just like that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
That's the way your dad is, is that when he
comes back from those Syracuse tracks, he starts talking like.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
A method at Dad, when did you start with that?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Dad?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
When did you start with that accent? I don't understand
you're starting with an accent? Like were you watching Terry
Bradshaw with the accent?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You you you just be quiet? Okay, look, yeah, you
Mets one. That's great. But this is about the Yankees, Okay,
this is about and we could have we had this
guy like we had him. This guy would have been
starting game Pool, maybe game Tree for us. And now
we don't. Now we don't have it. We had this guy.
I just wanted to watch this guy late at night
because you know what else am I gonna do? Because
you Yankees don't play a few days. So I'm watching
and he's great, and I'm going, oh, man, well good this.
And I'm gonna walk around and I gotta see, like
(03:20):
my son wearing some crazy ass Michael King Padres jersey
all around the house.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I don't like it. That's why I'm gonna punch you.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
That would be god of cool if you had one
dad stop if you said if I could, if.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I could get a Michael King jersey by tomorrow for
my dad stops over there, but he does his daily
Kramer stop off and say, hey, like, if I could
get a Michael King jersey for tomorrow, oh boy.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
You might be able to order that and get that
fat X up to you. Maybe. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Twelve what twelve strikeouts, zero watks, zero runs gets the
w you know, you go back to the deal. I
mean Hyashioka also with the home run themes part of
that deal too, So there's a little iceka.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
But it did land Juan Soto.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Now it's a matter of whether you resign him because
if you don't, and yes, you lose the trade.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
In the interim. It's a two be determined kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
But certainly a fantastic, fantastic year that kings put in
and tonight and we're watching it in the studio. Just
some of the pitches were just filthy down the end.
You got guys waving. It's tough two feet out of
the would have.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Been doing out at the stadium. They turned them into
a starter. They got him and say, you know what
we're gonna do. We're gonna make you a starter. Oh,
we didn't think about that. Cashman never thought about that.
Boon never thought about that. Hey, let's make you into
a starter. You see who did this?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yet? You know what?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
He went fifteen games right as Era was under tree, right,
and look at this, Look at gay want of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Look away. He's better than anybody we got. Yeah, your
fans are insane right now.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Contrary to the promo that has me talking about yelling
and about getting people.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Looking fired, I don't do that as often as you think.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
But Cashman's a guy where we've wondered aloud for a
couple of years of all right, how much do you
do you get the legacy play of what you did.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Once upon a time. Hasn't that run out to.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
And so there's another trade that potentially goes on the
bad side of the Ledger again if Juan Soto walks away. Now,
if he's suddenly a hero in the playoffs, you know,
he had a pretty damn good regular season as well,
Jason as much as their mind had.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
An ace type. But it's what's a different thing.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
When you get to the playoffs and it's we have
no pitching and you get to watch.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
The guy go wah. We had him for four years.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's not like the guy just showed up. You gave
him a ride to the airport, like, hey, we No,
you had him for four years.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Wasn't a cup of right September call up that was
thrown in And now I get that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
No, we had this guy like for a long time, right,
like like like he was here, he's in all building
for a long time, like three.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Three four years. He was a bottle when he was here. No,
he was a pretty good relieved you know, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I would always good. I would always say every day, hey,
why don't we put him? Turn them into a startup.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You know what do I know?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Right, I'm just watching the games. Turns out how to
be a pretty good manager. Right, that's a how do
you not do that? Now, I gotta watch this guy.
We're gonna lose Garrett Cole gonna opt out next were
gonna have nobody. We're gonna have Ron Guidry pitching for
us again. Now you have Louisiana. Let's say's coming back
sixty seven years old.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Where's Mike. We're gonna have him pitching the fast time.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
You could get the Louisiana lame. He had a lighting
coming in. We're gonna have Gossage closing games next year again.
We're gonna be at.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
We did get the anniversary of the Tommy John surgery.
He's still might give you an inning or two Tommy
Lee John.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
No, no, no, no, no, that's not that's if there
was a Tommy Lee surgery, people would line up to
get it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm just saying I think I think I think it can.
I don't think I need this. I don't think I
need to say what I think you do.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I think I'm not sure we'll understand what the Tommy
Lee surgery would be.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I think you laid it out as thick as you
needed to. In twenty twenty two two point two three
e r A and thirty four appearances.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He was good out of the pen for us. What
did we do? He's good out of the pen.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Two seven five last year, forty nine appearances. Oh, it's
outstanding that he gives you thirteen and nine heard this year.
I can't wait to I'm gonna text him because he's
still up. If he's still up watching, Michael King is
really good. Where was he last year?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
We cold call him right now?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
The Oh, I think my dad has passed the points.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, no, ty shirts, guys. I mean, I've got the
button right in front of me. Yeah, my dad's not
as good as cold calling as he used to be.
He's slowed down a little bit. He does go to
bed later than though, Yes he does. Yeah, we have
established yes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Hangout still doesn't make any sense to me, but wow,
Michael King was terrific. Padre's legend.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Michael King. Michael King was was lights out.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I mean right now, Padres fans are putting all their
hopes and dreams.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, all five of them. Well, they fill up the stadium.
It's a nice tourist attraction. Where do it?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Did he play the last you outside? Yeah a few years.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Wow, you're really doing this and you're cackling like a
mad man.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Mike Harmon, shut because my dad comes.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Dad's gonna because my dad comes over every day, and
he's at the point when now he understands a little
bit like, Okay, I have to feign interest in other
things than the Yankees. So it'll come over and say, Wow,
big win by you guys today.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, can you believed that? I mean, what a big
fifth inning?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And they stuck with Severarno for you know, for for
a long time, I didn't think they should do that.
Look coming off the last night, and and and Mendoza
saying how good the team was getting ready for this
game and they had left the win in Atlanta behind.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, we're we're we're in trouble. Where
we're in trouble. We're like that's it, Like that's it,
And it's about the Yankees. There's this one question and
one answer. I get about the Mets until the.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Other way.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Hard pitching stinks, it's not gonna do anything for us.
Oh oh, now now we're at the Yankees Okay, we're
actually gonna talk about a team that's not playing. Okay, okay, okay, sure, okays,
all right, that's what we're doing, all right, Yankees.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Well, concerned that that frosty things you might send your
father into a murderous rage Marvin Gaye style.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
This is what happens. Jay, whoa, Wow, whoa I had
to bring some speciality to Oh no, I'm see I'm thinking.
See dude, I'm thinking big Lebowski and he's gonna do
He's gonna do it. John Goulda been into my car
and you're going in real life like horrible things that happened.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Well, he went murderous. He's just busted up your car.
I mean, that's just comes is what happens. Jason, When
do you make fun of the Yankees to your father?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Bam, you're killing your father, Jason, Bam, Dad, that's not
my car. You know, when the Yankees last dominant, Yankee
stadiums last had a dominant performance like what Michael King
did tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Roger Clements.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
No, uh oh, Josh Beckett two thousand Yankee stadium him,
Josh Beckett two thousands might not be a Yankee.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, look what you're doing. That's why I went Beckett,
But it was you'll have Santana probably.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Oh man, well on the Twins, it's a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
This is you know, I want to get father's gonna
I mean, you're in trouble man.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No, he's gonna show up outside the studio banging on
the window.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
No, he's gonna be banging on the window looking like
one of the walking dead, like like ready to come in.
Like all of a sudden, he runs his hand down
and it's blood.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
We got super thick glass over there. I mean he's
like pound his way through to come get you.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Help boy.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Oh he's got your dad pounding stuff. No, well he's
he's gonna trust me. My dad's gonna be over to Mark.
He comes in every day like Kramer and it's it's
the Yankees for a few minutes. But no matter what's
going on in that day. Hey, what's going on today? Well,
let's see I won the lottery and uh what else happened?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh, the Jets hired me.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
To be their head coach, and uh, Zoe is now
eight feet tall, like grew like four feet in one night.
Oh yeah, you know, our pitching is just terrible. We're
just we're just not going anywhere. We're just not going anywhere, Dad.
We also have a magic beanstalk that that went to
go through the roof of the house and we got
up to the top and there's a goose up there.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
We got golden eggs. Like we're rich now, Dot.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, we have money too, but we don't spend it
on anything. We don't spend it on pitching or anything.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
We have.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I mean, we're still paying Stanton and that's not gonna
go anywhere. Yeah, no, no, I understand, Dad. Now that's great.
And in the backyard there's a hole that goes all
the way down to the center of the earth and
it's the upside down where it looks just like our earth,
except everything is more decrepit, and there's bad guys down there,
and there's actors from a TV show.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
It's crazy. You want to go down there.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
We've been in the basement basement all year in our
pitching stats. Just terrible hairs. Now, all right, I'll see
you later. I'm going on all right, dad, I'll see it.
That would be the visit.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Tell you what for tomorrow, I'll bring you in some
Michael King cards. And you can just start. You can
hand him to your game. I'll just lay him out
on the Hey, come here, down.

I always gotta get one when you go, but it is.
I tell you.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
The most fun thing you can do tonight, other than
listen to our show is to be on social media
and look at what Yankee fans say.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
It is awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yankee fans. They've won, they have a bye. They're not
in the first round. Still upset, We're still mad about stuff.
We're still mad, still mad. It's tough, still mad, tough
to the one that got away? Yep, still mad.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Why didn't we make him a starter? Man? That's New
York Radio right now. IM sure. Did you see that
last night? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You could, of course. I saw him in the sleep.
Since that, I've been up all night. I just came
at him coming right into the studio to do the
show tonight.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I mean mad dogs are gonna be losing his mind.
Think about FRANCESSA. Yeah, yeah, this guy, yeah, this guy
for years. I tell you, Mikey, worst day I got

on team.
Speaker 3 (13:13):

But let that manage it. Let's judge me the manager.
Let's judge me the general manager to manage to general man.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Let me be the owner. Let's start brut a selling
team to him and one to go instead. Haven't pay him,
but he doesn't make any money. We can hide to
the guys play outfield.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow, did that all without taking a breath. That's pretty impressive.
Well that's kind of how he does it too.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
So no, I'm waiting for you to collapse at the.
Speaker 1 (13:34):

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Well, it's a show we're on every night.
We talk about sports, think with the guy in the place.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
There you go big at night.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
In MLB Playoffs, the visiting team wins every game until
Michael King decided to get involved. Seven shutout innings twelve strikeouts.
Yankee fans are going absolutely insane right now because he
was in their bullpen the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What to make a day one?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Nobody better to welcome inside right now mby Network Inside
or extra Ordinaire, Fox Sports Radio Insider Extraordinaire. You can
follow him on Twitter at John Morosi. He is a
man who's gonna come on here and apologize for something
he said last week. Pope, what's happening?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Man?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You ready to apologize?
Speaker 6 (15:15):
I was wrong.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I thought the Lions were gonna lose the off and
they did not.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I threw you a change up.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
You did not as good as Michael King's change or
Cole Reagan's change up where Arren Scoople's change up today?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
But I threw you a change up and I was wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You know well, because you came on last week and said, Jason,
we're friends. I want to tell you the brains are
making the playoffs. I don't see it for the Mets.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I don't say it.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
We're friends, and I'm telling you, like, okay, Well, after
after Lindor hit that home run yet today my first
thought was, oh, John Paul's gonna have a fun time
with us tomorrow night. He's gonna have a time tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Swings, swings and misses all over the place.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
From ROSSI I would say, this is this is like,
oh for five with five strikeouts.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
You're right, You're right.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I did think that things were trending in the wrong
directions for the Mets, but my goodness, Lindor saved them.
And then they just they get on the plane and
go right back to Milwaukee and win again. So they're
in a good spot now.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I think the.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Mets, now they were able to come back from DZ
giving it up there to Alb's in Atlanta yesterday, it
feels like that was, you know, five days ago at
that point in time yesterday. Well, we could basically do
a whole show just based on Game one of yesterday.
But what a time.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
The Mets continue to show.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
A lot of resiliency and now they're up one nothing
in the series.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Now looking at today, in the history of the first
round of the playoffs, and we have the best of
three that the team that won Game one has won
them all. If I had to say to you, the
team that lost today that you think can still win
their series most likely to still win their series, who
are you giving me.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
That's a great question. I think that the team that.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
I that I leave has a legitimate chances Houston, because
they do have a ton of postseason know how. They
understand how to manage a series like this. Of course,
their problem, though, is that A. J. Hinch does too,
and he's no longer their manager. He's managing against them,
and I think we saw that today And listen, the
Tigers almost gave it up late, which might give the
(17:24):
Astros some measure of confidence entering Game two, but they
need to get the bats going. They really had the
Astros one one solid innings worth of that bats and
that's just not going to be good enough, especially when
you consider they're going to see four or five, maybe
even six different arms from the Tigers tomorrow and they're
(17:45):
just gonna bring them out of the pen and carve
up the game with a number of different really talented
guys who are used to pitching in this role. The
Tigers have been doing this to great effect basically since
the first of August. So I as much as as
I say, I think the Astros have the best chance
to come back, it is a fairly significant climb for them.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah, Curiosity Jason and I were talking about a little
bit earlier. JP is just you know, manager decisions in
terms of when you extend and let a guy pitch through,
like the Mets did with Sevarino, you know, and on
the other side, where you've got you know, Peralta had
settled down and started pitching. Well, yeah, you go to
the pen and immediately give it up, right.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
No, that's an excellent point. And I think too, And you're.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Right about the I think that the general commentary about
pitching around around the game in the industry and sort
of what we saw tonight.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I had.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I had a long time baseball person, former major league player,
just sent me a text later tonight, just saying, man,
the pitching right now is just unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
And he's right.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
And it started with the early game and in Schooble.
Obviously Valdez didn't quite have his best stuff today. Reagan's
you know, both the school Land Reagans had cramped up,
and it seems in both cases.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
But they did.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
They certainly we were pitching well off for the teams
to win Burns.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
You certainly will.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
We'll probably second guests, maybe challenging with with the base
open and that spot and ends up being the one
run of the game. So but but in general, whether
it's Michael King in the later game, the pitch making
that we're seeing broadly speaking right now is just really
really good. It's elite stuff. It's repeatable, and I think
today sets the standard and the bar very high for
(19:27):
what it's going to take to be able to sit
at the table. And in a postseason like this, you're
going to have to bring an ace and I think
the teams that had aces today that did exceptionally well.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Now, Pope, I have an idea for you for MLB
Network for tomorrow. Oh boy, I got an here for
you ready, Okay, here's what I want you to do.
I want you to go to a bar in New
York City. Okay, fly, fly.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
To New York. Go to a bar.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Go in specifically man hopefully a Yankee bar, but it
really doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Any bar in New York.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Turn the turn the camera on your microphone on, tell
about who you are, and say, hey, I want you
guys to talk to me about what kind of performance
Michael King gave last night that was just really what
do you guys say about this? And you are going
to get absolute gold. Now bring a bodyguard, because I
would I worry about you a little bit, but man,
well you get gold. Well, Yankee fans will say about
(20:15):
Michael King now starring for the.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Patres, I love it and listen to be fair, and
Justin and I talked about this before the segment started.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
It's not as though the Yankees, at least not right now.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
And we'll see how how things play out with respect
to where Juan Soto signed. But it's not like the
Yankees would would undo that trade today because then they
wouldn't have won.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Soto hit in forty home runs for.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Them, So that's important context. But Michael King has become
a phenomenal starting pitcher in a legit game one guy.
And by the way, they still have plenty of pitching
after him, and that's why the Padres are a dangerous
team right now in the National League. You've got a
credit as well, Ruby Dieblo, who's a great pitching coach.
(21:03):
Credit AJ Preller. Once he knew that he had to
make that trade with Juan Soto just from a payroll perspective,
and with the roster he traded Soto to the right place,
He traded into the right place that had the need
to get him for a year and the prospects to
make it worth his while. In the young players in
the case of King, who had already been up to
big leagues but just wasn't he wasn't in New York
(21:26):
when he has become in San Diego, and that's part
of the game. Changes scenery sometimes, let's be fair, It's
different pitching at pet Co than it is pitching at
Yankee Stadium in terms of just the dimensions and the
comfort factor. So he's in a really good spot. I
think Michael King has taken a big step. And that's
a very interesting crowd sourcing idea that I am planning
(21:49):
to cover some playoff ball in New York, and I
will keep.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
That in mind.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, I have nothing else.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
You get some great excited utterances and you can start
your own YouTube channel and had millions of hits yank
Yankee fans.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Off the angry Yankee fans.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
That sounds like a really good Twitter handle, I would say,
angry at angry Yankee fans.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
It probably already is.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
But if it wasn't already, we could. You know, Michael,
you might You're your your childhood team had a few
angry fans this year too, that we might might make
for some good, good copy on Twitter as well.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, we'll have that therapy session another time. JP.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Uh Okay, we're just gonna bear an ax aal. Accept
it for what it is.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Back to back on hundred lost seasons, three in the
last seven years, seven in the franchise's history. Uh yeah,
an absolute disaster. But let's stay in division because I
did see a tweet that made me chuckle and I
told it to Jason before we got started here with
you of how playing the White Sox really helped the
Tigers and Royals get ready for the postseason.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Hey, listen, it clearly did.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
The America League Central right now is two and oho
undefeated as a division, so that they're the only undefeated
division with multiple teams in the playoffs so far. Well,
I'm gonna keep saying that as long as it's crue
and as long as I can. But there were certainly
plenty of plenty of comments made.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
About the American League Central and how the Royals and
there are the White Sox and their struggles enabled the
Royals and the Tigers and the Guardians to an extent
to get into the.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Playoffs and twins or for a long time had a
decent chance of doing the same thing. But it is.
It is I'm sure a proud moment for the Division
that two of these teams come in the first round,
go on the road and win. And listen, the Royals
they just brought back past Quentin. I do think run
scoring is going to be an issue for them, and
(23:45):
I think it probably would still be an issue for
them against the Yankees. The Tigers they're just it's almost
like they're so young that they don't know they're not
supposed to be here, and no one has told them
that they're not welcome here yet, and they're just Okay, well,
I'm gonna hang out anyway, because why not. We're a
good ball club. And I love this. I pointed this
(24:05):
out earlier today. The Tigers roster for this series has
zero players acquired via major league free agency, none, not
a single one. All twenty six were either drafted, developed,
or traded for or waiver claims minor league free agents,
whatever it might be. Not a single major league free agent,
(24:27):
which tells you a lot about how you can effectively
build a roster. Of the Guardians, the very similar roster
as well.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
So you're right, the.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
White Socks gave a bit, a bit of an assist
perhaps to the Tigers. And there may be some concerned
Seattle Mariner fans who believe their team would have been
postseason worthy. But the Tigers beat the Mariners head to head,
which is a big reason why that the Tigers are
in the playoffs and the Mariners aren't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
An THEYLB Network inside of John Paul Morosi with us,
the Jason Smithson with Mike Carmon Lott, the tyreck dot
com studios. All right, John Paul, Obviously, yesterday we lost
p he Rose at the age of eighty three, a
very shocking story. And now you know, with stories coming
out and people talking and debating about his Hall of
Fame situation, was there You've been covering the game for
a long time since Eric Hipple was the starting quarterback
(25:13):
of the Detroit lines. Was there ever any softening, any
possibility at any time where hey, maybe there was an
avenue for Pete Rose to get reinstated into baseball and
be voted into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
No, not, in my I never thought it got close,
and I still don't think that it's realistic from a
Hall of Fame perspective. I'm glad you asked it that way,
because it's important to draw the distinction.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
MLB's decision for.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Violating Rule twenty one was that he was on the
permanent ineligible list, which meant that because he had been
on baseball, he was no longer eligible to be employed
by a Major League team. And that's the rule, and
I would say that's the rule, especially in the times
that we are in where honestly gambling entities have sponsorships
(26:06):
in baseball. There were a number of players, as you
both know, who were suspended for playing on parlays in
certain situations earlier this year, and those players were suspended,
in the case of Tukimpeta Marcano for life and put
on put on the permanent and eligible list. So that's
what that means that if you gamble on on a
(26:28):
game in which you have a duty to perform, you
you are on the permanent ineligible list. That is the
way the rule has been written, and I would say
that that rule is more important now than it's ever
been because of those those partnerships with with various UH
sports gambling entities. So that's the first part. The second
part is the Hall of Fame, and the Hall of Fame,
(26:49):
which is a separate entity from Major League Baseball, has
said that they enacted this. It was after the Rose
situation broke. They said, if you are on the permanent
ineligible list, you are not eligible for election to.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
The Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
That's a Hall of Fame decision. That that's not an
MLB decision. Now, could you say, did mL is there
is there a conversation between MLB and the Hall of Fame?
Of course there is, but it's ultimately Hall of Fame
decision by the chairman and by the board. And I
don't I don't see either situation moving. I don't see
MLB posthumously restoring Rose from the permanent and eligible list,
(27:25):
nor do I see the Hall of Fame changing its stance.
And I'm I'm honestly, I'm okay with it with the
way that it is. I am someone who believes in
second chances and in grace. But I also wonder about
what that what that decision would mean in terms of
opening up other other avenues of appeals.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
And and to be fair, it's not as.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Though Pete Rose is not represented in Cooperstown. There are
plenty of artifacts that is in the museum, and and
he probably in some way is more famous, is more
famous than the baseball consciousness for reasons good or negative,
than a great majority of living Hall of Famers. I
(28:12):
would say that if a table if a year ago,
two years ago, you put a table out, even in
Cooper Sounder, New York City, or Vegas or anywhere else,
it said p Rose is going to sign here, and
then lined up every other living Hall of Famer. P
Rose would draw a crowd that is larger than probably
eighty to ninety percent of the living Hall of Famers
(28:32):
just to sign autograss because it's a fascination with him.
And we can argue whether that would be the case
if he had gotten in a minute to Cooper sound
or not. But I do think that is the reality
that defined his life and his notoriety for the last
thirty plus years.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John
Morosi MLB Network in soider hope as always, thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Maybe we'll talk to you later this week. And hey,
you get the.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Week off with no Lions games, don't have to worry
about make no exactly.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
No Lions game.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
There does seem to be though a distinct Michigan Washington vibe.
You got the Wolverines and Huskies playing this weekend. Yeah,
and the Subway series as we speak, Uh, could still
happen the Jason Mike we'll see if maybe that's the
way this baseball season ends.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
All right, Hey, my best externs, when you talk to him,
I'll I'll let him know.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Take it easy money. JP.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
There goes John Paul Morosi. Yeah, no Lions pick for
him this week. No Lions pick.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
So that's okay.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Look, I'll give him some grace because last week when
he made the pick, I don't think he expected half
of the Seattle defense to Yeah. No, that was that
was all of a sudden, they got a gate ping hole, Like, hey,
guess what, David Montgomery, you get to eat? Yeah, I mean,
you know, if he picked Friday, maybe things would be different.
So give me a little bit uh time now to
find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Kevin Wired has all the latest on the Mets.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah, that's huge win. Yes, the playoff game eight to four,
and it was a pretty big fifth inning that resulted
in that five runs in that five inning, Mark Vento's
with a key too RBI single to give the Mets
their go ahead runs in that fifth inning. That add
on a couple more to that to give themselves that
eight to four win and they take a one nothing
(30:17):
lead in this best of three wildcard series against the
Brewers going final in San Diego not too long ago.
Padres and Braves, and while Fernando Tatist Junior and Kyle
Hikashioka each had two runs batted in, the star of
the game was Michael.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
King one and two.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
The pitch there are no swings and missus strike great
thanks to sweeper that had to be five feet outside.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Three straight a's for King. That's a dozen on the night,
one shy of his career.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
High Padres Radio Network there with the call yeah. King
would finish with those twelve strikeouts in seven innings, an
absolute gem of a performance to help San Diego take
a one nothing series lead. In the America League also
saw some outstanding pitching in the playoffs earlier today the
Tigers and Astros. It's Detroit winning it three to one
as terryk Skubal six strikeouts in six innings all the
(31:12):
Astros did make it interesting there toward the end, loading
the bases, but would fly out to end the game
at Detroit ahead one game to none and the Royals
and Orioles just one run.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Scored throughout the entire game.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Bobby Wit Junior and RBI single in the sixth inning
for the only run of the game, and it was
Cole Reagan's the star of the show for Kansas City
eight strikeouts and six innings out, dueling the starting pitcher
for the All Star Game. On the American League side
of things in Corbin Burns. So the Royals, after having
the second worst record in baseball last year, have a
(31:46):
one nothing lead in this Wildcard series. W NBA Playoffs
in action actually just gone final. The Links beat the
Sun seventy seven to seventy, so that series is tied
at one game apiece. Liberty take a two to thing
lead in their series against the Las Vegas ace Is,
winning Game number two eighty eight to eighty four.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Back to you, guys, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
K dub The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carman live from the tirec dot Com Studios. So
Davante Adams wants out of Vegas Vegas says we'll trade him.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
We want a second round pick. Where's he gonna end up?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
We'll tell you next right here, Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon Live
from the tiraq dot Com studios. And Uh, Davante Adams
wants out. The last twenty four hours, we found out
a lot of stuff. Davant Adams wants out of Vegas.
Vegas is okay with trading him. They want a second
round pick and some other concessions. This trade is going
(32:52):
to happen, right. This is not where they're God quick,
not where the Raiders are decided. Oh no, we're gonna
hold him for all kinds of written. No, hey second, nd,
I'm picking some concessions.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
OK.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
How many calls do you think the Raiders put out
to let people know that it was they were open
for business. I kind of like, Carolina, Hey, we're not
we're not really trading Brce Young, but thank you for
your inquiries.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It was everywhere every phone you read they made everybody
that works for the Raiders re record their their uh,
their voicemail message going Hi, you've reached Jim Johnson with
the Raiders. Yes, we are absolutely ready to trade. Devontae
Adams leave a voicemail for me. Oh Carawl the coach.
His extension is six five seven four. Every single whether
they work in public relations, public affairs, if they work
(33:35):
in the in the in the in the in the
in the basement of the wherever they is, that's on
everybody's work.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Yeah, because a week ago it's like we're not you know,
he's a raider. Yeah, there's no question he's a Raider.
And then you you win a game. Yeah, and it
turns on a dime yep, a viking of Instagram posts
and all sorts of other chaos. And here we are
now trying to handicap how this plays out, and you're
(34:01):
smiling like the chest your cat.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It's great, isn't it? Because look, he's going to be
a Jet. Okay for a couple of reasons. Number One,
jobs are at stake. Things are very difficult with the
Jets right now. Sometimes one game shows you a lot.
They lose a game they were supposed to win if
they were three and one, feeling great, three straight wins
after losing opening week. Okay, but the offense looks terrible.
(34:24):
It looks absolutely terrible. Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers have
been friends for a long time. They've known him. Davanta
Adams went on up in Adams with Kay Adams today
saying how much he missed Aaron Rodgers. So with jobs
at stake, Robert Sala's job is at stake, Joe Douglas's
job is at stake. The head coach the GM doesn't
matter what kind of relationship they have with Aaron Rodgers.
(34:45):
Jobs are on the line. They're not going to not
go get Devonte Adams. You know it's where he wants
to go. You know this is going to open things
up for the Jets because suddenly it'll open things up
for Garrett Wilson, may open things up for Mike Williams
to be a much better passing attack. It'll be loaded
with stars, gonna go do it. It would allow Garrett
Wilson to not look like a jag.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Well, the thing looks like you got to give him
a little bit more than a second and a half
to get open. Oh he's covered. No, Aaron Rodgers throwing
the ball one step after he gets the ball. I
mean he's throwing the ball very very early. That's not
Garret Wilson's not gonna get separation three yards off the
line of scrimmage. It's just not gonna happen. So all
of this, I told, all of this comes from Rogers.
(35:25):
And does he have the arm strength? Does he still
have the mobility? Is he is he gonna be too
skittish all the way through because he's been very skittish
for the first four weeks.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
But really, what.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Throws this down and makes this a cinch? Like I
just made great coaching arguments? Jobs are at stake. The
Jets are all in on this season. They're not gonna
let a guy like DeVonta Adams out there go when
they could get him. It's not like we have to
overcome him being in the same division. Raiders don't care.
They want to get rid of the guy right. Antonio
Pierce is liking social media message on Instagram that hey,
(35:55):
he's played his last game for the Raiders. They're ready
to give him away. But can you imagine? Can you
imagine what it would be like? Okay, imagine the Jets.
Imagine one Jets drive. Davante Adams is out there and
the Jets don't get him. Is it actually one Jets dress?
Can you imagine the reaction from Aaron Rodgers? How that's
gonna play? If Davante Adams is out there knowing that
(36:19):
it's not gonna take a lot, knowing that you can
get somebody. Hey, maybe he'll redoce some money to Devontae's
making a lot of money. Can you imagine what the
reaction would be if they could go get DeVante Adams
and they don't get him. You're talking business for us.
You are talking about a situation where things are kind
of tenuous right now. Because look, Rogers isn't playing great.
(36:39):
They gotta go to London, they gotta face Sam Darnold.
It's gonna be what you know, who's been on a heater.
The Vikings defense is the best defense in the NFL.
This is gonna be very, very difficult. Can you imagine
being bruised and beaten and coming back from London and here, Yeah,
it couldn't make it happen, guys, Sorry, yeah Davante, Yeah,
instead sorry he went to the Steelers. Yeah, I know,
I know nothing we can do about that, but he
(36:59):
went to this. Can you imagine what that would be?
What Aaron the Aaron Rodgers press conference when they don't
get Devonte Adams, how that's going to go and how
the rest of the season will go for the Jets
if they don't get him. Forget you think it's tough,
now it'll be completely untoned. It becomes burns can be complete. Yeah,
there's total chaos.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
All right, here's your odds as of seven hours ago.
These are from bed online ag Jets minus two hundred.
They also had that Reddick guy kind of sitting there
in the bullpen. Now a lot of what has to
happen is predicated on to his contract. Now he's got
no more guaranteed money, but we are we are looking
at thirty two million dollars a year for where DeVante
(37:40):
Adams is contractually the next couple of years. Jets minus
two hundred Chiefs at plus four fifty Ravens AT plus
five hundred Bills plus six hundred Steelers plus eight fifty
Saints plus twelve hundred Falcons plus fourteen hundred, and the
Seahawks plus fourteen hundred. All of those makes sense. I'm
(38:01):
curious how the Browns aren't in the mix there as
well as a potential obvious fit.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
They can use some help.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I know you were talking about playing Jerry Judy they
get upgrade and I heardy here. Maybe give Deshaun Watson
a little bit extra help. Nick Chubb back in practice tomorrow.
Maybe maybe there'd be a push there, But all of
the other spots seem fairly obvious as contenders to try
to go and vanquish the Jets for the services of
(38:28):
Devonte Adams. Here ye, what's the line from Goodfellas when
they wind up when the judge sentences him and PAULI
to prison, When because they beat that guy up and
he goes judge gave us ten years like he was
given out candy. Right, that'll make this Cadence Gate look
like a kid given out candy compared to what this
will look like if they don't get DeVante Adams. O.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Robert Solace shouldn't just and Joe Douglas shouldn't walk back
in the building. Aaron Rodgers is gonna go hog wild
on him. It's gonna be like, I mean, he kind
of looks like CM punk. He might pull off a
couple of CM punk.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
Moves on him. See what I did there and.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
That I mean, that's got nothing compared to how this
season is gonna unravel if they don't get Devonte Adams.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Wow, that's terrible. Can they bring an offensive lineman with them? Maybe,
because I think you need as much as we could
use the wide receiver. Sure, I really could use a
guy that could block, heyke.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
But maybe it'd be a new thing where the NFL
is gonna allow wide receivers to line up like seven
yards further downfield like the kickoff. You know, Hey, for
the Jets, we're gon letting you guys line up seven
yards downfield more.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Don't be a tackle that has that's half a step
back off the line of scratch.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
We'll call that to Why don't you finish the segment
with a towel over your Okay, I just slide down
on my chair at the end like Rogers did at
the front of you exit out out of Fresca Exit
Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Lifromthtirec

(00:49):
little bit of baseball, a little bit of football, John
Paul Morosi stopping buying a few minutes to break down
Day one of the MLB playoffs, and wow, I just
I can't stop let to myself the last few minutes
because Yankee fans and that I can't wait for my
dad to come over tomorrow. You see Michael King last night? Yeah, Dad,
(01:11):
he was great well, Padres beating the Braves for nothing
to take one game to none lead in the best
of three first round series. And Michael King, who was
a pretty decent reliever for the Yankees the last couple
of years. Yankees always looking for pitching. It's always my
dad has gone pitching is gonna kill it? Pitch, yes, pitching, Yes,
(01:32):
the Yankees can never find pitching. King's a pretty decent
reliever for them, right, doesn't doesn't pitch a lot of
but a pretty decent reliever. The Padres this year said
we're gonna turn you into a starter. And he has
a phenomenal year. He has an ace kind of year.
And we just watched him mow the Braves down for
seven innings, twelve strikeouts, five hits. The Braves never threatened.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
In this game.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You never got one that the Braves have even gotten
off the plane after yesterday. That's a different conversation. Swing's
ball moving, I mean like.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Throwing a whiffled.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Michael King's ball was this is where it'd be. We
want to check the spin rate compared to his other picture.
He's killing of course thee Hey, you know we had
this guy, right, you know we had this guy we
had king right, and we decided to let him go
because we'd like these other guys that I don't even
know who the hell they are, not even n and
now we could add this guy, and now we don't.
(02:30):
All right, so that's your fault. Well you later, you're
gonna know what's your fault. I don't care. I don't
care if you're a Yankee fan or not. Well, I'm
just gonna be really hit, which just that's how it goes,
because I'm really mad about this. We're really really mad.
And that's what my dad will say to me tomorrow,
just like that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
That's the way your dad is, is that when he
comes back from those Syracuse tracks, he starts talking like.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
A method at Dad, when did you start with that?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Dad?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
When did you start with that accent? I don't understand
you're starting with an accent? Like were you watching Terry
Bradshaw with the accent?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You you you just be quiet? Okay, look, yeah, you
Mets one. That's great. But this is about the Yankees, Okay,
this is about and we could have we had this
guy like we had him. This guy would have been
starting game Pool, maybe game Tree for us. And now
we don't. Now we don't have it. We had this guy.
I just wanted to watch this guy late at night
because you know what else am I gonna do? Because
you Yankees don't play a few days. So I'm watching
and he's great, and I'm going, oh, man, well good this.
And I'm gonna walk around and I gotta see, like
(03:20):
my son wearing some crazy ass Michael King Padres jersey
all around the house.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I don't like it. That's why I'm gonna punch you.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
That would be god of cool if you had one
dad stop if you said if I could, if.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I could get a Michael King jersey by tomorrow for
my dad stops over there, but he does his daily
Kramer stop off and say, hey, like, if I could
get a Michael King jersey for tomorrow, oh boy.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
You might be able to order that and get that
fat X up to you. Maybe. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Twelve what twelve strikeouts, zero watks, zero runs gets the
w you know, you go back to the deal. I
mean Hyashioka also with the home run themes part of
that deal too, So there's a little iceka.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
But it did land Juan Soto.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Now it's a matter of whether you resign him because
if you don't, and yes, you lose the trade.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
In the interim. It's a two be determined kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
But certainly a fantastic, fantastic year that kings put in
and tonight and we're watching it in the studio. Just
some of the pitches were just filthy down the end.
You got guys waving. It's tough two feet out of
the would have.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Been doing out at the stadium. They turned them into
a starter. They got him and say, you know what
we're gonna do. We're gonna make you a starter. Oh,
we didn't think about that. Cashman never thought about that.
Boon never thought about that. Hey, let's make you into
a starter. You see who did this?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yet? You know what?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
He went fifteen games right as Era was under tree, right,
and look at this, Look at gay want of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Look away. He's better than anybody we got. Yeah, your
fans are insane right now.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Contrary to the promo that has me talking about yelling
and about getting people.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Looking fired, I don't do that as often as you think.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
But Cashman's a guy where we've wondered aloud for a
couple of years of all right, how much do you
do you get the legacy play of what you did.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Once upon a time. Hasn't that run out to.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
And so there's another trade that potentially goes on the
bad side of the Ledger again if Juan Soto walks away. Now,
if he's suddenly a hero in the playoffs, you know,
he had a pretty damn good regular season as well,
Jason as much as their mind had.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
An ace type. But it's what's a different thing.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
When you get to the playoffs and it's we have
no pitching and you get to watch.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
The guy go wah. We had him for four years.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's not like the guy just showed up. You gave
him a ride to the airport, like, hey, we No,
you had him for four years.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Wasn't a cup of right September call up that was
thrown in And now I get that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
No, we had this guy like for a long time, right,
like like like he was here, he's in all building
for a long time, like three.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Three four years. He was a bottle when he was here. No,
he was a pretty good relieved you know, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I would always good. I would always say every day, hey,
why don't we put him? Turn them into a startup.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You know what do I know?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Right, I'm just watching the games. Turns out how to
be a pretty good manager. Right, that's a how do
you not do that? Now, I gotta watch this guy.
We're gonna lose Garrett Cole gonna opt out next were
gonna have nobody. We're gonna have Ron Guidry pitching for
us again. Now you have Louisiana. Let's say's coming back
sixty seven years old.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Where's Mike. We're gonna have him pitching the fast time.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
You could get the Louisiana lame. He had a lighting
coming in. We're gonna have Gossage closing games next year again.
We're gonna be at.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
We did get the anniversary of the Tommy John surgery.
He's still might give you an inning or two Tommy
Lee John.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
No, no, no, no, no, that's not that's if there
was a Tommy Lee surgery, people would line up to
get it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm just saying I think I think I think it can.
I don't think I need this. I don't think I
need to say what I think you do.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I think I'm not sure we'll understand what the Tommy
Lee surgery would be.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I think you laid it out as thick as you
needed to. In twenty twenty two two point two three
e r A and thirty four appearances.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He was good out of the pen for us. What
did we do? He's good out of the pen.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Two seven five last year, forty nine appearances. Oh, it's
outstanding that he gives you thirteen and nine heard this year.
I can't wait to I'm gonna text him because he's
still up. If he's still up watching, Michael King is
really good. Where was he last year?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
We cold call him right now?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
The Oh, I think my dad has passed the points.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, no, ty shirts, guys. I mean, I've got the
button right in front of me. Yeah, my dad's not
as good as cold calling as he used to be.
He's slowed down a little bit. He does go to
bed later than though, Yes he does. Yeah, we have
established yes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Hangout still doesn't make any sense to me, but wow,
Michael King was terrific. Padre's legend.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Michael King. Michael King was was lights out.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I mean right now, Padres fans are putting all their
hopes and dreams.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, all five of them. Well, they fill up the stadium.
It's a nice tourist attraction. Where do it?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Did he play the last you outside? Yeah a few years.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Wow, you're really doing this and you're cackling like a
mad man.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Mike Harmon, shut because my dad comes.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Dad's gonna because my dad comes over every day, and
he's at the point when now he understands a little
bit like, Okay, I have to feign interest in other
things than the Yankees. So it'll come over and say, Wow,
big win by you guys today.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, can you believed that? I mean, what a big
fifth inning?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And they stuck with Severarno for you know, for for
a long time, I didn't think they should do that.
Look coming off the last night, and and and Mendoza
saying how good the team was getting ready for this
game and they had left the win in Atlanta behind.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, we're we're we're in trouble. Where
we're in trouble. We're like that's it, Like that's it,
And it's about the Yankees. There's this one question and
one answer. I get about the Mets until the.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Other way.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Hard pitching stinks, it's not gonna do anything for us.
Oh oh, now now we're at the Yankees Okay, we're
actually gonna talk about a team that's not playing. Okay, okay, okay, sure, okays,
all right, that's what we're doing, all right, Yankees.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Well, concerned that that frosty things you might send your
father into a murderous rage Marvin Gaye style.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
This is what happens. Jay, whoa, Wow, whoa I had
to bring some speciality to Oh no, I'm see I'm thinking.
See dude, I'm thinking big Lebowski and he's gonna do
He's gonna do it. John Goulda been into my car
and you're going in real life like horrible things that happened.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Well, he went murderous. He's just busted up your car.
I mean, that's just comes is what happens. Jason, When
do you make fun of the Yankees to your father?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Bam, you're killing your father, Jason, Bam, Dad, that's not
my car. You know, when the Yankees last dominant, Yankee
stadiums last had a dominant performance like what Michael King
did tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Roger Clements.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
No, uh oh, Josh Beckett two thousand Yankee stadium him,
Josh Beckett two thousands might not be a Yankee.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, look what you're doing. That's why I went Beckett,
But it was you'll have Santana probably.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Oh man, well on the Twins, it's a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
This is you know, I want to get father's gonna
I mean, you're in trouble man.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No, he's gonna show up outside the studio banging on
the window.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
No, he's gonna be banging on the window looking like
one of the walking dead, like like ready to come in.
Like all of a sudden, he runs his hand down
and it's blood.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
We got super thick glass over there. I mean he's
like pound his way through to come get you.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Help boy.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Oh he's got your dad pounding stuff. No, well he's
he's gonna trust me. My dad's gonna be over to Mark.
He comes in every day like Kramer and it's it's
the Yankees for a few minutes. But no matter what's
going on in that day. Hey, what's going on today? Well,
let's see I won the lottery and uh what else happened?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh, the Jets hired me.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
To be their head coach, and uh, Zoe is now
eight feet tall, like grew like four feet in one night.
Oh yeah, you know, our pitching is just terrible. We're
just we're just not going anywhere. We're just not going anywhere, Dad.
We also have a magic beanstalk that that went to
go through the roof of the house and we got
up to the top and there's a goose up there.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
We got golden eggs. Like we're rich now, Dot.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, we have money too, but we don't spend it
on anything. We don't spend it on pitching or anything.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
We have.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I mean, we're still paying Stanton and that's not gonna
go anywhere. Yeah, no, no, I understand, Dad. Now that's great.
And in the backyard there's a hole that goes all
the way down to the center of the earth and
it's the upside down where it looks just like our earth,
except everything is more decrepit, and there's bad guys down there,
and there's actors from a TV show.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
It's crazy. You want to go down there.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
We've been in the basement basement all year in our
pitching stats. Just terrible hairs. Now, all right, I'll see
you later. I'm going on all right, dad, I'll see it.
That would be the visit.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Tell you what for tomorrow, I'll bring you in some
Michael King cards. And you can just start. You can
hand him to your game. I'll just lay him out
on the Hey, come here, down.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Help, here's one when he was a Yankee. Come help
me sort me?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Holy cards? Hey, dad, help me sort these cards. Michael King,
Michael King, Michael King, Michael.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Dare you I have a collection of holy cards? Oh,
that's gonna be the visit tomorrow. That's gonna be the visit.
I always gotta get one when you go, but it is.
I tell you.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
The most fun thing you can do tonight, other than
listen to our show is to be on social media
and look at what Yankee fans say.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
It is awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yankee fans. They've won, they have a bye. They're not
in the first round. Still upset, We're still mad about stuff.
We're still mad, still mad. It's tough, still mad, tough
to the one that got away? Yep, still mad.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Why didn't we make him a starter? Man? That's New
York Radio right now. IM sure. Did you see that
last night? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You could, of course. I saw him in the sleep.
Since that, I've been up all night. I just came
at him coming right into the studio to do the
show tonight.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I mean mad dogs are gonna be losing his mind.
Think about FRANCESSA. Yeah, yeah, this guy, yeah, this guy
for years. I tell you, Mikey, worst day I got
to were gonna let these guys go. We gotta let judge.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Manage a team. Let judge me the manager. I let
talt it me the GM. That's all we gotta do.
That make you come on appen, Mikey, I'm retired.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm retired.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I'm retiring. I'm go'a tire. I got that rubber prediction wrong.
Left your for tying. Oh but I'm still gonna be
on team.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I was only kidding.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
But let that manage it. Let's judge me the manager.
Let's judge me the general manager to manage to general man.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Let me be the owner. Let's start brut a selling
team to him and one to go instead. Haven't pay him,
but he doesn't make any money. We can hide to
the guys play outfield.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow, did that all without taking a breath. That's pretty impressive.
Well that's kind of how he does it too.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
So no, I'm waiting for you to collapse at the.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
End of the That's why I guess, that's why I went.
I said, you know, what I got a feeling this
might come up. Went a Yankee conversation. You know, whare
to get a diapeedic? There you go, dis exit out
about a Fresca exit swollen dome. The Jason Smith Show

We talk about sports, think with the guy in the place.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
There you go big at night.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
In MLB Playoffs, the visiting team wins every game until
Michael King decided to get involved. Seven shutout innings twelve strikeouts.
Yankee fans are going absolutely insane right now because he
was in their bullpen the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What to make a day one?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Nobody better to welcome inside right now mby Network Inside
or extra Ordinaire, Fox Sports Radio Insider Extraordinaire. You can
follow him on Twitter at John Morosi. He is a
man who's gonna come on here and apologize for something
he said last week. Pope, what's happening?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Man?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You ready to apologize?
Speaker 6 (15:15):
I was wrong.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I thought the Lions were gonna lose the off and
they did not.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I threw you a change up.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
You did not as good as Michael King's change or
Cole Reagan's change up where Arren Scoople's change up today?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
But I threw you a change up and I was wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You know well, because you came on last week and said, Jason,
we're friends. I want to tell you the brains are
making the playoffs. I don't see it for the Mets.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I don't say it.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
We're friends, and I'm telling you, like, okay, Well, after
after Lindor hit that home run yet today my first
thought was, oh, John Paul's gonna have a fun time
with us tomorrow night. He's gonna have a time tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Swings, swings and misses all over the place.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
From ROSSI I would say, this is this is like,
oh for five with five strikeouts.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
You're right, You're right.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I did think that things were trending in the wrong
directions for the Mets, but my goodness, Lindor saved them.
And then they just they get on the plane and
go right back to Milwaukee and win again. So they're
in a good spot now.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I think the.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Mets, now they were able to come back from DZ
giving it up there to Alb's in Atlanta yesterday, it
feels like that was, you know, five days ago at
that point in time yesterday. Well, we could basically do
a whole show just based on Game one of yesterday.
But what a time.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
The Mets continue to show.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
A lot of resiliency and now they're up one nothing
in the series.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Now looking at today, in the history of the first
round of the playoffs, and we have the best of
three that the team that won Game one has won
them all. If I had to say to you, the
team that lost today that you think can still win
their series most likely to still win their series, who
are you giving me.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
That's a great question. I think that the team that.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
I that I leave has a legitimate chances Houston, because
they do have a ton of postseason know how. They
understand how to manage a series like this. Of course,
their problem, though, is that A. J. Hinch does too,
and he's no longer their manager. He's managing against them,
and I think we saw that today And listen, the
Tigers almost gave it up late, which might give the
(17:24):
Astros some measure of confidence entering Game two, but they
need to get the bats going. They really had the
Astros one one solid innings worth of that bats and
that's just not going to be good enough, especially when
you consider they're going to see four or five, maybe
even six different arms from the Tigers tomorrow and they're
(17:45):
just gonna bring them out of the pen and carve
up the game with a number of different really talented
guys who are used to pitching in this role. The
Tigers have been doing this to great effect basically since
the first of August. So I as much as as
I say, I think the Astros have the best chance
to come back, it is a fairly significant climb for them.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah, Curiosity Jason and I were talking about a little
bit earlier. JP is just you know, manager decisions in
terms of when you extend and let a guy pitch through,
like the Mets did with Sevarino, you know, and on
the other side, where you've got you know, Peralta had
settled down and started pitching. Well, yeah, you go to
the pen and immediately give it up, right.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
No, that's an excellent point. And I think too, And you're.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Right about the I think that the general commentary about
pitching around around the game in the industry and sort
of what we saw tonight.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I had.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I had a long time baseball person, former major league player,
just sent me a text later tonight, just saying, man,
the pitching right now is just unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
And he's right.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
And it started with the early game and in Schooble.
Obviously Valdez didn't quite have his best stuff today. Reagan's
you know, both the school Land Reagans had cramped up,
and it seems in both cases.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
But they did.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
They certainly we were pitching well off for the teams
to win Burns.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
You certainly will.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
We'll probably second guests, maybe challenging with with the base
open and that spot and ends up being the one
run of the game. So but but in general, whether
it's Michael King in the later game, the pitch making
that we're seeing broadly speaking right now is just really
really good. It's elite stuff. It's repeatable, and I think
today sets the standard and the bar very high for
(19:27):
what it's going to take to be able to sit
at the table. And in a postseason like this, you're
going to have to bring an ace and I think
the teams that had aces today that did exceptionally well.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Now, Pope, I have an idea for you for MLB
Network for tomorrow. Oh boy, I got an here for
you ready, Okay, here's what I want you to do.
I want you to go to a bar in New
York City. Okay, fly, fly.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
To New York. Go to a bar.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Go in specifically man hopefully a Yankee bar, but it
really doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Any bar in New York.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Turn the turn the camera on your microphone on, tell
about who you are, and say, hey, I want you
guys to talk to me about what kind of performance
Michael King gave last night that was just really what
do you guys say about this? And you are going
to get absolute gold. Now bring a bodyguard, because I
would I worry about you a little bit, but man,
well you get gold. Well, Yankee fans will say about
(20:15):
Michael King now starring for the.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Patres, I love it and listen to be fair, and
Justin and I talked about this before the segment started.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
It's not as though the Yankees, at least not right now.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
And we'll see how how things play out with respect
to where Juan Soto signed. But it's not like the
Yankees would would undo that trade today because then they
wouldn't have won.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Soto hit in forty home runs for.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Them, So that's important context. But Michael King has become
a phenomenal starting pitcher in a legit game one guy.
And by the way, they still have plenty of pitching
after him, and that's why the Padres are a dangerous
team right now in the National League. You've got a
credit as well, Ruby Dieblo, who's a great pitching coach.
(21:03):
Credit AJ Preller. Once he knew that he had to
make that trade with Juan Soto just from a payroll perspective,
and with the roster he traded Soto to the right place,
He traded into the right place that had the need
to get him for a year and the prospects to
make it worth his while. In the young players in
the case of King, who had already been up to
big leagues but just wasn't he wasn't in New York
(21:26):
when he has become in San Diego, and that's part
of the game. Changes scenery sometimes, let's be fair, It's
different pitching at pet Co than it is pitching at
Yankee Stadium in terms of just the dimensions and the
comfort factor. So he's in a really good spot. I
think Michael King has taken a big step. And that's
a very interesting crowd sourcing idea that I am planning
(21:49):
to cover some playoff ball in New York, and I
will keep.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
That in mind.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, I have nothing else.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
You get some great excited utterances and you can start
your own YouTube channel and had millions of hits yank
Yankee fans.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Off the angry Yankee fans.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
That sounds like a really good Twitter handle, I would say,
angry at angry Yankee fans.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
It probably already is.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
But if it wasn't already, we could. You know, Michael,
you might You're your your childhood team had a few
angry fans this year too, that we might might make
for some good, good copy on Twitter as well.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, we'll have that therapy session another time. JP.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Uh Okay, we're just gonna bear an ax aal. Accept
it for what it is.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Back to back on hundred lost seasons, three in the
last seven years, seven in the franchise's history. Uh yeah,
an absolute disaster. But let's stay in division because I
did see a tweet that made me chuckle and I
told it to Jason before we got started here with
you of how playing the White Sox really helped the
Tigers and Royals get ready for the postseason.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Hey, listen, it clearly did.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
The America League Central right now is two and oho
undefeated as a division, so that they're the only undefeated
division with multiple teams in the playoffs so far. Well,
I'm gonna keep saying that as long as it's crue
and as long as I can. But there were certainly
plenty of plenty of comments made.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
About the American League Central and how the Royals and
there are the White Sox and their struggles enabled the
Royals and the Tigers and the Guardians to an extent
to get into the.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Playoffs and twins or for a long time had a
decent chance of doing the same thing. But it is.
It is I'm sure a proud moment for the Division
that two of these teams come in the first round,
go on the road and win. And listen, the Royals
they just brought back past Quentin. I do think run
scoring is going to be an issue for them, and
(23:45):
I think it probably would still be an issue for
them against the Yankees. The Tigers they're just it's almost
like they're so young that they don't know they're not
supposed to be here, and no one has told them
that they're not welcome here yet, and they're just Okay, well,
I'm gonna hang out anyway, because why not. We're a
good ball club. And I love this. I pointed this
(24:05):
out earlier today. The Tigers roster for this series has
zero players acquired via major league free agency, none, not
a single one. All twenty six were either drafted, developed,
or traded for or waiver claims minor league free agents,
whatever it might be. Not a single major league free agent,
(24:27):
which tells you a lot about how you can effectively
build a roster. Of the Guardians, the very similar roster
as well.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
So you're right, the.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
White Socks gave a bit, a bit of an assist
perhaps to the Tigers. And there may be some concerned
Seattle Mariner fans who believe their team would have been
postseason worthy. But the Tigers beat the Mariners head to head,
which is a big reason why that the Tigers are
in the playoffs and the Mariners aren't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
An THEYLB Network inside of John Paul Morosi with us,
the Jason Smithson with Mike Carmon Lott, the tyreck dot
com studios. All right, John Paul, Obviously, yesterday we lost
p he Rose at the age of eighty three, a
very shocking story. And now you know, with stories coming
out and people talking and debating about his Hall of
Fame situation, was there You've been covering the game for
a long time since Eric Hipple was the starting quarterback
(25:13):
of the Detroit lines. Was there ever any softening, any
possibility at any time where hey, maybe there was an
avenue for Pete Rose to get reinstated into baseball and
be voted into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
No, not, in my I never thought it got close,
and I still don't think that it's realistic from a
Hall of Fame perspective. I'm glad you asked it that way,
because it's important to draw the distinction.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
MLB's decision for.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Violating Rule twenty one was that he was on the
permanent ineligible list, which meant that because he had been
on baseball, he was no longer eligible to be employed
by a Major League team. And that's the rule, and
I would say that's the rule, especially in the times
that we are in where honestly gambling entities have sponsorships
(26:06):
in baseball. There were a number of players, as you
both know, who were suspended for playing on parlays in
certain situations earlier this year, and those players were suspended,
in the case of Tukimpeta Marcano for life and put
on put on the permanent and eligible list. So that's
what that means that if you gamble on on a
(26:28):
game in which you have a duty to perform, you
you are on the permanent ineligible list. That is the
way the rule has been written, and I would say
that that rule is more important now than it's ever
been because of those those partnerships with with various UH
sports gambling entities. So that's the first part. The second
part is the Hall of Fame, and the Hall of Fame,
(26:49):
which is a separate entity from Major League Baseball, has
said that they enacted this. It was after the Rose
situation broke. They said, if you are on the permanent
ineligible list, you are not eligible for election to.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
The Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
That's a Hall of Fame decision. That that's not an
MLB decision. Now, could you say, did mL is there
is there a conversation between MLB and the Hall of Fame?
Of course there is, but it's ultimately Hall of Fame
decision by the chairman and by the board. And I
don't I don't see either situation moving. I don't see
MLB posthumously restoring Rose from the permanent and eligible list,
(27:25):
nor do I see the Hall of Fame changing its stance.
And I'm I'm honestly, I'm okay with it with the
way that it is. I am someone who believes in
second chances and in grace. But I also wonder about
what that what that decision would mean in terms of
opening up other other avenues of appeals.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
And and to be fair, it's not as.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Though Pete Rose is not represented in Cooperstown. There are
plenty of artifacts that is in the museum, and and
he probably in some way is more famous, is more
famous than the baseball consciousness for reasons good or negative,
than a great majority of living Hall of Famers. I
(28:12):
would say that if a table if a year ago,
two years ago, you put a table out, even in
Cooper Sounder, New York City, or Vegas or anywhere else,
it said p Rose is going to sign here, and
then lined up every other living Hall of Famer. P
Rose would draw a crowd that is larger than probably
eighty to ninety percent of the living Hall of Famers
(28:32):
just to sign autograss because it's a fascination with him.
And we can argue whether that would be the case
if he had gotten in a minute to Cooper sound
or not. But I do think that is the reality
that defined his life and his notoriety for the last
thirty plus years.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John
Morosi MLB Network in soider hope as always, thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Maybe we'll talk to you later this week. And hey,
you get the.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Week off with no Lions games, don't have to worry
about make no exactly.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
No Lions game.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
There does seem to be though a distinct Michigan Washington vibe.
You got the Wolverines and Huskies playing this weekend. Yeah,
and the Subway series as we speak, Uh, could still
happen the Jason Mike we'll see if maybe that's the
way this baseball season ends.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
All right, Hey, my best externs, when you talk to him,
I'll I'll let him know.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Take it easy money. JP.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
There goes John Paul Morosi. Yeah, no Lions pick for
him this week. No Lions pick.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
So that's okay.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Look, I'll give him some grace because last week when
he made the pick, I don't think he expected half
of the Seattle defense to Yeah. No, that was that
was all of a sudden, they got a gate ping hole, Like, hey,
guess what, David Montgomery, you get to eat? Yeah, I mean,
you know, if he picked Friday, maybe things would be different.
So give me a little bit uh time now to
find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Kevin Wired has all the latest on the Mets.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah, that's huge win. Yes, the playoff game eight to four,
and it was a pretty big fifth inning that resulted
in that five runs in that five inning, Mark Vento's
with a key too RBI single to give the Mets
their go ahead runs in that fifth inning. That add
on a couple more to that to give themselves that
eight to four win and they take a one nothing
(30:17):
lead in this best of three wildcard series against the
Brewers going final in San Diego not too long ago.
Padres and Braves, and while Fernando Tatist Junior and Kyle
Hikashioka each had two runs batted in, the star of
the game was Michael.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
King one and two.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
The pitch there are no swings and missus strike great
thanks to sweeper that had to be five feet outside.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Three straight a's for King. That's a dozen on the night,
one shy of his career.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
High Padres Radio Network there with the call yeah. King
would finish with those twelve strikeouts in seven innings, an
absolute gem of a performance to help San Diego take
a one nothing series lead. In the America League also
saw some outstanding pitching in the playoffs earlier today the
Tigers and Astros. It's Detroit winning it three to one
as terryk Skubal six strikeouts in six innings all the
(31:12):
Astros did make it interesting there toward the end, loading
the bases, but would fly out to end the game
at Detroit ahead one game to none and the Royals
and Orioles just one run.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Scored throughout the entire game.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Bobby Wit Junior and RBI single in the sixth inning
for the only run of the game, and it was
Cole Reagan's the star of the show for Kansas City
eight strikeouts and six innings out, dueling the starting pitcher
for the All Star Game. On the American League side
of things in Corbin Burns. So the Royals, after having
the second worst record in baseball last year, have a
(31:46):
one nothing lead in this Wildcard series. W NBA Playoffs
in action actually just gone final. The Links beat the
Sun seventy seven to seventy, so that series is tied
at one game apiece. Liberty take a two to thing
lead in their series against the Las Vegas ace Is,
winning Game number two eighty eight to eighty four.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Back to you, guys, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:05):

Davante Adams wants out of Vegas Vegas says we'll trade him.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
We want a second round pick. Where's he gonna end up?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
We'll tell you next right here, Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon Live
from the tiraq dot Com studios. And Uh, Davante Adams
wants out. The last twenty four hours, we found out
a lot of stuff. Davant Adams wants out of Vegas.
Vegas is okay with trading him. They want a second
round pick and some other concessions. This trade is going
(32:52):
to happen, right. This is not where they're God quick,
not where the Raiders are decided. Oh no, we're gonna
hold him for all kinds of written. No, hey second, nd,
I'm picking some concessions.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
OK.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
How many calls do you think the Raiders put out
to let people know that it was they were open
for business. I kind of like, Carolina, Hey, we're not
we're not really trading Brce Young, but thank you for
your inquiries.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It was everywhere every phone you read they made everybody
that works for the Raiders re record their their uh,
their voicemail message going Hi, you've reached Jim Johnson with
the Raiders. Yes, we are absolutely ready to trade. Devontae
Adams leave a voicemail for me. Oh Carawl the coach.
His extension is six five seven four. Every single whether
they work in public relations, public affairs, if they work
(33:35):
in the in the in the in the in the
in the basement of the wherever they is, that's on
everybody's work.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Yeah, because a week ago it's like we're not you know,
he's a raider. Yeah, there's no question he's a Raider.
And then you you win a game. Yeah, and it
turns on a dime yep, a viking of Instagram posts
and all sorts of other chaos. And here we are
now trying to handicap how this plays out, and you're
(34:01):
smiling like the chest your cat.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It's great, isn't it? Because look, he's going to be
a Jet. Okay for a couple of reasons. Number One,
jobs are at stake. Things are very difficult with the
Jets right now. Sometimes one game shows you a lot.
They lose a game they were supposed to win if
they were three and one, feeling great, three straight wins
after losing opening week. Okay, but the offense looks terrible.
(34:24):
It looks absolutely terrible. Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers have
been friends for a long time. They've known him. Davanta
Adams went on up in Adams with Kay Adams today
saying how much he missed Aaron Rodgers. So with jobs
at stake, Robert Sala's job is at stake, Joe Douglas's
job is at stake. The head coach the GM doesn't
matter what kind of relationship they have with Aaron Rodgers.
(34:45):
Jobs are on the line. They're not going to not
go get Devonte Adams. You know it's where he wants
to go. You know this is going to open things
up for the Jets because suddenly it'll open things up
for Garrett Wilson, may open things up for Mike Williams
to be a much better passing attack. It'll be loaded
with stars, gonna go do it. It would allow Garrett
Wilson to not look like a jag.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Well, the thing looks like you got to give him
a little bit more than a second and a half
to get open. Oh he's covered. No, Aaron Rodgers throwing
the ball one step after he gets the ball. I
mean he's throwing the ball very very early. That's not
Garret Wilson's not gonna get separation three yards off the
line of scrimmage. It's just not gonna happen. So all
of this, I told, all of this comes from Rogers.
(35:25):
And does he have the arm strength? Does he still
have the mobility? Is he is he gonna be too
skittish all the way through because he's been very skittish
for the first four weeks.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
But really, what.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Throws this down and makes this a cinch? Like I
just made great coaching arguments? Jobs are at stake. The
Jets are all in on this season. They're not gonna
let a guy like DeVonta Adams out there go when
they could get him. It's not like we have to
overcome him being in the same division. Raiders don't care.
They want to get rid of the guy right. Antonio
Pierce is liking social media message on Instagram that hey,
(35:55):
he's played his last game for the Raiders. They're ready
to give him away. But can you imagine? Can you
imagine what it would be like? Okay, imagine the Jets.
Imagine one Jets drive. Davante Adams is out there and
the Jets don't get him. Is it actually one Jets dress?
Can you imagine the reaction from Aaron Rodgers? How that's
gonna play? If Davante Adams is out there knowing that
(36:19):
it's not gonna take a lot, knowing that you can
get somebody. Hey, maybe he'll redoce some money to Devontae's
making a lot of money. Can you imagine what the
reaction would be if they could go get DeVante Adams
and they don't get him. You're talking business for us.
You are talking about a situation where things are kind
of tenuous right now. Because look, Rogers isn't playing great.
(36:39):
They gotta go to London, they gotta face Sam Darnold.
It's gonna be what you know, who's been on a heater.
The Vikings defense is the best defense in the NFL.
This is gonna be very, very difficult. Can you imagine
being bruised and beaten and coming back from London and here, Yeah,
it couldn't make it happen, guys, Sorry, yeah Davante, Yeah,
instead sorry he went to the Steelers. Yeah, I know,
I know nothing we can do about that, but he
(36:59):
went to this. Can you imagine what that would be?
What Aaron the Aaron Rodgers press conference when they don't
get Devonte Adams, how that's going to go and how
the rest of the season will go for the Jets
if they don't get him. Forget you think it's tough,
now it'll be completely untoned. It becomes burns can be complete. Yeah,
there's total chaos.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
All right, here's your odds as of seven hours ago.
These are from bed online ag Jets minus two hundred.
They also had that Reddick guy kind of sitting there
in the bullpen. Now a lot of what has to
happen is predicated on to his contract. Now he's got
no more guaranteed money, but we are we are looking
at thirty two million dollars a year for where DeVante
(37:40):
Adams is contractually the next couple of years. Jets minus
two hundred Chiefs at plus four fifty Ravens AT plus
five hundred Bills plus six hundred Steelers plus eight fifty
Saints plus twelve hundred Falcons plus fourteen hundred, and the
Seahawks plus fourteen hundred. All of those makes sense. I'm
(38:01):
curious how the Browns aren't in the mix there as
well as a potential obvious fit.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
They can use some help.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I know you were talking about playing Jerry Judy they
get upgrade and I heardy here. Maybe give Deshaun Watson
a little bit extra help. Nick Chubb back in practice tomorrow.
Maybe maybe there'd be a push there, But all of
the other spots seem fairly obvious as contenders to try
to go and vanquish the Jets for the services of
(38:28):
Devonte Adams. Here ye, what's the line from Goodfellas when
they wind up when the judge sentences him and PAULI
to prison, When because they beat that guy up and
he goes judge gave us ten years like he was
given out candy. Right, that'll make this Cadence Gate look
like a kid given out candy compared to what this
will look like if they don't get DeVante Adams. O.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Robert Solace shouldn't just and Joe Douglas shouldn't walk back
in the building. Aaron Rodgers is gonna go hog wild
on him. It's gonna be like, I mean, he kind
of looks like CM punk. He might pull off a
couple of CM punk.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
Moves on him. See what I did there and.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
That I mean, that's got nothing compared to how this
season is gonna unravel if they don't get Devonte Adams.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Wow, that's terrible. Can they bring an offensive lineman with them? Maybe,
because I think you need as much as we could
use the wide receiver. Sure, I really could use a
guy that could block, heyke.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
But maybe it'd be a new thing where the NFL
is gonna allow wide receivers to line up like seven
yards further downfield like the kickoff. You know, Hey, for
the Jets, we're gon letting you guys line up seven
yards downfield more.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Don't be a tackle that has that's half a step
back off the line of scratch.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
We'll call that to Why don't you finish the segment
with a towel over your Okay, I just slide down
on my chair at the end like Rogers did at
the front of you exit out out of Fresca Exit
Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Lifromthtirec
