Speaker 1 (00:29):
Greetings, Welcome inside our three, The Jason Smith Show with
my bes friend Mike Harmon, Apple Original Films and Warner
Brothers Pictures F one. The movie is a hard pounding
underdog story from the director of Top Gun, Maverick F one.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The movie starring Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Seeing on the biggest screen possible only in theaters in
Imax June twenty seventh, rated PG thirteen.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Mike and I got to see it a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Not only is it incredibly an incredibly great action movie,
the soundtrack.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Is absolutely killer as well.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
It is just fun going to the theater to go
see this movie when it comes out again June twenty seventh.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
And yes, see it on the biggest screen possible. You'll
feel like you're on the track.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
It's amazing. Question about it? Rumble seat, looking for your
seat belt. You've got the soundtrack, the banter, the training sequences.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I want to go through the simulators. Now, let's go.
Maybe maybe I should start running again? Oh yeah, yeah,
I start working out? Yeah sure eventually?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Why not? Yeah? Then that'll well. I mean, cause I
know your feelings about running.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, running is the worst thing in the world out there,
Like Matt Damon at the end of Air, What am
I doing?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
This is stupid? Why would I ever do this? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, running is you know, running is not great. You
don't need to run. Do other things, and other things
are more fun. Just running is like, man, how do
people do that? How do people just run? I don't
understand walking. I get enough of Like I'm just gonna
go for a walk, okay, But running is Why am
I doing this?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Why am I breathing so hard? Why am I Why
am I really.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Gonna feel that runner's nirvana that people say you get
after you run. Hey, when you get fifteen or eighteen
miles into a run, you get to a point where
it's just what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
When I get fifteen or eighteen I mean I see.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
The light and someone on the other side says, what
the hell are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Is that what they're doing?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Like, you know, I obviously like the walks I take
my dog on because I have no idea what's in
his crazy ass brain.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
On a day to day.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
He's gonna drag me all over the place. And occasionally
we find some some fun creatures as we're on our walks,
particularly at night.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
But you know, hey, it's.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
All that variability that that you gotta love, just like
go and racing.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So let me tell you about what's happening right now
in the biggest game of the night major League Baseball.
The Dodgers now lead the Padres six to three, and
kind of an off at bat for Andy Pask it
was only an RBI single to give the Dodgers that
six three.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Is he a star?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Look, we talked about him last hour. Yes, Andy pa
has all Star one hundred percent on board with that.
But I mean, you know, we had a little bit
of this conversation last week when they when they had
the very emotional series outside of Michigan and Ohio State
right which clearly, look, it's been one of the greatest
rivalries in all of sports for one hundred years, but
(03:14):
the last few years it has been incredibly more intense.
You had the last two national champions of Michigan Ohio State,
and still Michigan ruined Ohio State season by winning. You
could ask Ohio State fans would you rather have won
the national title or beat Michigan.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
They would say, we'll give the title back. We wanted
to beat Michigan out got that. You got Panthers oilers.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Outside of Michigan Ohio State, there is no better rivalry
in sports than the Dodgers padres. Right, just from last
night to tonight, and this is a this is just
a hey, here's a series in June. So tempers flare
between these two teams, as they do always, and Andy
Pajes gets hit last night in the middle of the
back and there was a bit of a kerfuffle over it,
(03:55):
and Manny Machado said after the game last night, No,
there's bigger dogs on that team.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We can hit that Andy pae Has.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Okay, So after that comment last night, what does pa
has do tonight? He hits not one, but two home
runs in his first two at bats for the Dodgers tonight. Meanwhile,
Fernando Tatis gets drilled in the back show Heo Tani
gets hit in the leg, Dave Roberts gets ejected, Like
what more could you want out of a major I mean,
(04:23):
we're not talking about that guy's getting it, But like,
this is a rivalry where in baseball sometimes it's really
tough to see that teams hate each other, you know,
cause some sport I feel like, okay, do they really
not like each other? Is this something where it's a
professional rivalry and we're trying to win it? No, no,
out and out. We hate each other And you could
see it on the field. You see the facial expression.
You see guys like Machado yelling across the diamond after
(04:45):
catching a pop up, which he did a couple of
innings ago, And you know how much these teams despise
each other. And every game they play is like a
mini playoff game. It doesn't matter if it's June August
or if they're playing in October. Every game is like that,
especially after the Dodgers knocked the Padres out of the
playoffs last year, returning that favor.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
For the year before.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Like, really, this is outside of Michigan, Ohio state, which
we get once a year this is the best rival
for his sports, and we get a handful of games
like this every single season.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It is outstanding.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well, we love the angst for every pitch, every bad.
I mean, look at that. Batt will Smith just had
twelve pitches files off eight of them before hitting a
two run home run. So I was fully expecting someone
to wear it in the ribs shortly thereafter.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But it's kind of like the end of that. The
Oilers just gave up.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
They sport the goal, but I didn't get any of
the fights I was hoping for, just the angst at
the end, right, you know, we got a long offseason,
Go hit somebody. But here the fact that we didn't
get any of these games until what game sixty seven,
sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Whatever it was last week.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
The build up was was intense because we're looking at
the NL West and both teams shopping at the bits,
a chirping back and forth, and so we finally get it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You roll it over into you know, big moments. Add
the juice of Sho Hao Tony getting back on the
mound yesterday, and you just take it to a whole
other level. The coverage of this series, as well as
the sellout crowds. When you got fifty three thousand cramming
in to watch every little bit of this give and take,
(06:24):
it's it's beautiful for the game. I mean, they're reporting
all sorts of great marks across the board for the
league on TV and in stadium, and Father's Day weekend
was huge. So this is great that this is at
the forefront of it all because come October we're gonna
see these teams right back in the mix once again again.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Six three Dodgers with the lead. They have one out
runners at second and third. Mets killer Tommy Edmund hoping
to break this game open here again.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Jason, don't forget Miguel.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The Mets is a good rivalry, Okay, Marcello Zuna, I've
laid off of prefer of correcting you Frostburg Barcela Zuna.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
All right, if you're gonna talk about the guy that
for sure, TJ.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Some people call him Maurice Malcolm.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Markinson Ozuna beat the Mets that, yes, they did, disappeared
just like that.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I'm not Markingson and you Markinson. Well that neither the
ust are Markinson. That's two of us.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Uh So again, that's where we sit right now. Again
best rivory in sports, we get the look I'm up for,
Like I used to be up for Yankees Red Sox,
you know once well, you know, twice a month, But
then the game's got so long where I'm like, Okay,
I can't. I can't every Sunday Night Baseball, Yankees, Red Sox.
That's you had a half hours, right, You at least
have to separate it out. It can't be every Nana game, man,
(07:49):
I can't. I can't have that right. No, Maybe I
don't care about it being on some I just feel like, okay,
you got to bring it in in an amount of
time where I can watch the game and and and
not feel like, Okay, I've just you know, worked out
or run run a marathon for four hours, like you can't.
Every game can't be four and a half hours. But
now the pace of play and that works better. But uh,
(08:09):
nothing is better than Dodgers Padres right now. I like
it that you went back to the running analogy. Yeah, now,
something that has been I've been obsessed with all day.
And I got my dad on board with this, and
I can't believe he didn't know about it, and and
I didn't know how long this has been going on,
and I find this is like a twenty some odd
year thing.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
So we talked about this really briefly last night.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Right, doctor.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
There is didn't give that a minute yesterday.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Your dad's on board, No, there is none.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
My dad doesn't care. I I could say, Dad, you
know who's coaching the Knicks? Who read Holtzman. He would say, oh,
he's a great coach. Yeah, okay, No, my dad, No.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
He's back. He was frozen. Was he hanging with Waltz?
Age seven seventh? Care?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Dad, George Mikeen is coaching the Knicks. Oh, he's a
great player. Oh George Mikeen was great.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
No, he doesn't care. Uh So.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
MLB dot com has this contest they've had it for
a while called Beat the Streak, and it's pretty simple.
You just need you sign up, you know, just sign
up for MLB dot comies, you know, type in your
name and your email addressed like normal.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
It's a free account, and you play a game called
Beat the Streak.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
All you have to do every day is pick a
player who's going to get a hit. Before the game starts,
pick a player who's going to get a hit. If
you can pick fifty seven games in a row, any
player you want. I think you can pick any player
you want anytime. As long as you pick a guy
getting a hit in every game, you keep the streak going.
If you beat Joe DiMaggio's streak, you can win over
(09:37):
five and a half million, right, five point six million
dollars for fifty six game minutes. Right, five point six
million dollars. They've been doing this contest now for over
twenty years. There's been a bunch of people get to forty.
But last night a guy was at fifty. All right,
there was a guy his user name was low Tank,
and he was at fifty games and he picked a's
(10:01):
Jacob Wilson, Right, who's having a pretty good year. Right,
I'm like, okay, at this point I would just go Otani,
Judge Otani, judge. I mean, come on, I mean, why
aren't you doing Otani judge Otani, Judge.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
The guy's hitting four hundred, what do you want to
do that? Right? So, or really judge because he's hitting
three eighty.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So, but he picks Jacob Wilson, and again, fifty is
a rare thing with this, and it looked like he
was going to lose. And then he comes up in
the last time in the eighth inning after going zero
for three, and he bloops a ball into right field,
into no man's land behind first base, right with a
runner on first. So base hit and you're like, the
(10:36):
street continues, Oh my god, this is awesome. Right, because
it lands, the outfielder picks it up, sees that Max Schuman,
who was on first base, held up a little bit
too much because he couldn't tell if the ball was
going to be caught.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
They fire over to second base and get Schumann out
on a force play. This means there is no hit.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And that was the last day bat for Jacob Wilson,
and tank streak was over. And all the controversy that
I saw about this off of because it happened late
last night. Right, the A's game was late and overnight
last night and early today. All that's still a hit.
It's still a hit. It's no it just seems like
it hit because the ball was hit to the outfield.
But right, they forced him out at second base. Right,
(11:18):
that's that's kind of what it was. Now if he
had stopped running and tried to go back to first
and got tagged out, like, that's a different case like
that's a but the fact that they were able to
force him out at second base, it's a force play.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
The ball could be hit off.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The wall in right field, and if the guy doesn't
get from first to second base you throw him out.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
That's still an out insteads still a fielder's choice. So
it was. It was an awful.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Beat, right, just a terrible beat for a guy who
was in fifty games. It was you know, you get
through fifty games like this, you are six games away
from maybe winning five and a half million dollars. And
it's not that the guy goes oh for four, the
guy actually gets what is a base hit ninety nine
and forty four, one hundred percent of the time, like
as pure as ivory snow, that's the number.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Of times that thing is a hit.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Except for that play last night. And that was such
an awful beat. And I told my dad about it,
and he couldn't believe his let's do it you and me.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, let's all do it well alternate days.
I'm like, oh, awesome. That way, when we lose, I
can blame you. He was, I'm not gonna lose, I'm
just gonna I know who I'm aout, don't know, You're
gonna just pick Mets players the whole time. So now
my dad and I decided we're gonna do it together
(12:25):
and we're gonna we're gonna flip picking every other day,
and that's how we're gonna do this. And now now
it's gonna be a big bonding thing for us for
the rest.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Of our lives.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Look at that. You got a half a year ago.
You can still get there before the season ends. Can't
wait to see the Mets guy you picked that.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I'm gonna go with Brett Baby. I'm sorry, Dad, what
are you doing? What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (12:49):
By the way, this is very simple. If you want
to beat Joe DiMaggio, you just.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Don't take the Mets. No Mets players.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
You know, Frostburg, we're actually really really good, and we.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
On guy from the Braves. That guy can clear.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, because that's what I want to do, is change
places in the standings with with the Braves.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That's what I want to Yeah, Okay, you know the
Braves are twelve games out right, you know the twelve
games out.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
The way.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
It's a marathon, not a sprint. They're twelve.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Okay, where would I rather be seventeen games over five
hundred or or seven games under.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
I know you'd rather be where where they are because
you have room to improve. All that can happen now
is you colossally fail, and then you have to listen
to Frostburg for the rest science you think. I'm gonna
tell the truth every time we lose, I'm gonna say, oh,
my dad was my dad's pick.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That was my dad's pick. We lost. Oh, it's never
gonna be your fault.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
My dad forgot to make the pick in Yeah, my
dad fat fingered it.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Vote.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know, That's the one thing I don't know is
that if you don't pick a game, if it keeps going,
or if you have to pick every.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Day, like I didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I didn't look at up yet, Like if somehow you
miss a gain, does it keep going?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Like that's the one they get into the official rules there.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, But then I felt so bad for this guy.
But I'm like, wow, now it's a pod because now
it's a big bonding moment for me in my ball look,
and this is that I'm excited about this all the
time with him, and now it's after like we'll get
to get to like five in a row, and I'm
gonna go come on, dad, pray, come on, this is
five this don't screw it up.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Dad. We're almost a tenth of the way there. Dad.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
We just gotta say, can you imagine doing this and
like getting to the end of the year and and
being at like for like ten games away, but the
season ends, so you pick it up and people, it's like,
oh my god, all the research I have to do
with who has good starts and slow starts? And opening
day everybody's facing an ace on opening day?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
What the hell am I gonna do?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Like, I can't get a bullpend game opening day, everybody's
facing an ace? What the hell is gonna happen? Like,
that's gonna be stress, man, that's stress.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Long road begins with the step get that buick in.
That's just a rough beat, man, just such a rough beat.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Continued support Mike and I love putting this content out
for you every single night.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So quick update on what just happened in the.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Latest edition of the Best Rivalry in Baseball, the Dodgers
and the Padres in a game that's been filled with
two home runs by Andy Pajes after Manny Michaudo called
him out last night saying, if we wanted to hit
a guy, there's bigger Dogs and the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
To hit than him. He's at two home runs.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Fornanotitis Junior's got hit in the back, Tony got hit
in the leg. Dave Roberts got thrown out of the
game for arguing af for Otani got hit. Now, Iglesias
was just hit by Matt Sower and Machado streams out
of the dugout screaming for sour to get tossed, and
all of a sudden there's a big conversation and Machada
(18:19):
was standing around yelling and screaming and gesturing about throw
him out of the game, throw him out of the game.
And Brooks follows up with a home run to right
center field to make it an eight five game Dodgers
Padres one out in the seventh inning.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I mean it get an assist. I think he might.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I thought, does he get a kind of points for that?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah? No, I think I give that too much. I
think I give a shadow Mikey.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Wow, I did all that escalated quickly. Now we mentioned
this really quick last out, but I want to say
it again. I feel like it's an inevitability that the
Dodgers and Padres are gonna brawl at some point this season.
Maybe not tonight, but at some point somebody's gonna get
hit it or there's gonna be a real physical play.
And you can tell how much these teams absolutely can't
stand each other. They're gonna wind up browing just to
(19:07):
get that tension out, then go back to play in baseball,
because right now every single play is tinged with I
just want to throw a punch at you.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Right like I feel.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I feel that that's every single play that goes on
between these two teams, and so far, hey, we'll make
you pay on the scoreboard. But at some point that
the boiling points gonna get too high, there's gonna need
to be some sort of release to get everything back
to normal. So I think at some point this again,
it might not be tonight. But at some point this
season we're gonna get a big Dodgers Padres brawl. It's
gonna be Oh my god, keep Otani out of it.
(19:38):
Oh my god, keep Freddy Freeman out of it. Oh God,
tell my God, keep Junior out of it. Oh my god,
keep these guys. That's what it's gonna happen right now.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Like Brute Is from Popeye, I would gladly pay you
tuesday for a brawl today.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
And all I was gonna say was, you know, keep
the big dogs on the porch.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
If you can't run with the big dogs, you stay
on the porch.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Well, I mean that was a big brand back in
the day, no question about it. But in this particular case,
you don't want your big dogs in the middle of it.
And Kershaw, I mean, he's another guy. You gotta stand
over there and just point.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Oh no, he'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He'll be He'll be a guy. He look at Kershaw.
He'll be running in very slowly from the outfield. This
is not Kershaw ten years ago. I'm not worried about Kershaw.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I don't worry about it as long as that fight's
not at seven to ten on the Dot.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
He's good.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
That is a fair point.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Ha Tann is late to tease, comes up to lead off,
and before he even gets in the in the box,
he runs straight at Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Wait at seven eleven. It's seven eleven.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I knew I could get his head. That's all I was, boy,
I'll tell you. And again the game is going on
like this and it's still only the top of the
seventh inning. The Padres have made of the game. I mean,
I don't know what more you could want.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I love chaos.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Hey, who's that dummy standing at the top of the pod?
I can't make him out? Who is standing at the
top of the stairs? When Padre dug out.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Was um Frostburg hates Mike Schildt absolutely can't stand him.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I don't think he's starting to grow on people. Yeah,
is that growing on Frostburg?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
That's for sure watching the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
It's not, it's not I got Did I say that
he was growing on him in a positive way?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
No? Yeah, Sometimes you should be thrown a negative way. Yeah, No,
sometimes thrown a negative way if.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
You should be a polled of his face.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So a bit of controversy happening, right, of course, because
it's this game, so what could have been a double
play grounder? Uh, Tommy Edmund grabs the ball, flips it
to Mookie Bets. Mookie Bets does not make the play,
and Fernando to Teast Junior is safe.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Uh. He looks over to see.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
If Edmund is okay, and Tatist Junior believes that Mookie
Bets made this catch because he can't see slides in
the second and the ball was gonna beat mookie Bets there. Uh,
and the ball was gonn to beat Tatist Junior there.
So he slides in and he slides in facing third base,
so he doesn't see that Mookie Bets drop the ball.
Now he looks up. He looks at the umpire, who
(22:09):
doesn't say anything. He looks over at Edmund to see
if Edmund is okay, because you watch Edmund die for
the ball. He thinks he's out. He takes two steps
off of second base. Mookie Betts tags him out and
so it's an out on the field and Tatise walks off.
Mike Schildt yells, get back on the bag, get back
on the bag. We're gonna peel this. So he goes
back on the bag and in the end. It turns
(22:32):
out they're going back to look at it. Right now,
there's a pitching change going on. Machada is coming up
like this. This is the game of the year in
Major League Baseball right now. This, I mean, I don't
know that there's been a better game all season long
than this was.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
He was he did they call time out like all
of that being reviewed in the process. But yeah, you
gotta have it boil over. This is the greatest. Well,
and you have someone come out and sing the seventh
inning stretch, come on, let's go.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
And I am gonna say this right like and look
this is frost is gonna get mad at me.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
But well, yeah, because you say this is a great rivalry.
In order for be rivalry rivalry a great rivalry, they
got to be good.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
The Padres are not.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
The Padres are still good.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
They are not good.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
They are they're good for two.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Bullpen games in a row.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well there is that.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
There's that.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I mean, it doesn't mean they're not good. It just
means you're better.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I mean, think about this for one second. You want
to know how bad they are. They actually thought Andy
pa haz was in a Superstar.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, well you know that that's their fault.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
That that's Manny Machado run in his mouth when he
shouldn't have that, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Well, I mean, look, if you aren't going to rank
him though he is fourth out of the three guys
that he that he did reference, I mean, as much
as we may celebrate the greatness that is piez Is,
he's now established new career highs and home run and
RBI and is having a big night tonight after all
of the dust up and your favorite manager getting all
chesty yesterday, Frostburg. I mean, he's had a fantastic night,
(23:59):
but he's still behind those other three guys.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
And I don't even think it's crazy to say that
right now in their careers, Andy pye Is is better than
Manny Machatto.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I don't know about that. Yeah, really, let's not get crazy. Really,
let's not get crazy. I don't even think let's not
get crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Look, look, if we're gonna go back to that whole
running thing. You see, you got to listen to the
whole show, you really do. If we're gonna go back
to the running thing, then yeah, Machado probably loses out there.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
But tough to dismiss him. Overall here justin I mean,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
So after okay, we got a pitching change again. This
game is just insane. Michael Kopek comes in for the Dodgers.
They award Fernando to Teast Junior second base, and I
think they awarded him second base because the home played
umpire come out with the ball to throw back to
the pitcher, and he's the one that was that was
shaking his head, going no, he's safe.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Tatiase doesn't see the safe call from.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Second base mPire Marvin Hudson, right because the tea slides
into the base. He doesn't see it, but Marvin Hudson
calls him safe, and to Tease Junior stands up, looks
at the up. The ump doesn't say anything because he
made the safe call, and so he gets off the
bag to go back and that's when Mookie Bets tagged
him out.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
And I believe the.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Home plate umpire had called for time or time had
been called, which means the play is dead.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
So Fernando Totis Junior gets to stay at second.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I'm only guessing by what I see and my knowledge
of baseball, because obviously we can't hear what's being said,
but I'm pretty sure that's what happens. Now, Manny Mchado
gets to come up as the tying run in the
top of the seventh inning with runners at first and second.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
You're a betting man, right, yes, sir, well you want
to better strike out here.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I'd love to see the live, live odds if we
can get those posted real fast.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
A strikeout from Copek.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
I know Jason's rooting for a homer, but.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yeah, you know, I'd be on board a strike out.
I think it's a great spot for it. Former White
Sox starter Closer mountains instead.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Michael Kopek just threw a pitch that I'm not lying
was about ten feet over Will smith head Like, I
don't know how he actually let that ball go, but
that pitch wasn't even close, and it hits the backstop,
almost hits Mary Hart and bounces all the way up
the first base line to tease Junior, almost scores all
the way from second base because the ball bounced away
(26:16):
so far.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
So now it's second and third for the Padres and Manny.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Machatta Art's still at this game.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
My good Oh no, no, come on, she's still She's
still there right as bedtime. Mary Hart is still there.
It's a it's only nine to thirty. Let me look
hang on that stuff.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Mary.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Oh no, Wow, Mary Hart is not there. Wow, she's
he there. Wow. She taps out. She taps out early.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Uh so uh Manny Machado walks to load the bases
now one out top of the seventh. Dodgers lead the
Padres eight to five.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Uh For more on.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
This game, let's find out what's trending from a man
who's been called the Michael Kopek of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
One time I watched him throw a ball ten feet
over the catcher's head.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
Too. It is steve to say that would have gone
straight into the third row if there was no screen,
and somebody would still be screaming getting in by that too.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
That was a bullet and.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Nowhere near the catcher. So Gavin Sheets is up with
bases loaded, one out top of the seventh for the Padres.
Sheets already has another couple rbiyes tonight. Gavin Sheets has
over forty rbiyes for the Padres so far this season.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Former White sock now good correct.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Against former White sock Ridy Michael Kopek in relief the
Dodgers did have an eight to three lead to start
the seven. It's eight to five and could be more
in a moment, And you are correct, Jason on surmising
the time out. Tatis Junior should have been out walking
off the second base bag thinking he was out, and
it looked like the home played umpire held up a
(27:47):
new baseball to put in play to replace the one
that many mookie bets had just dropped. And then Manny Machado,
of course just walked and we've got bases loaded. Wow,
this is yet again a good series between these two.
At Seattle col Raleigh with a Grand Slam as twenty
seventh homer of the year eight nothing Mariners over Boston,
(28:08):
a team that had won six straight. Raleigh with a
two run double as well. He has sixty RBIs. Cleveland
won at San Francisco three to two, beating Robbie Ray,
who had been eight and one Raphael Devers of the
Giants in RBI double. The team left thirteen men on base,
though San Francisco will activate pitcher Justin Verlander to start Wednesday.
(28:29):
Attendants in Sacramento eight thousand, three hundred, the A's are
losing thirteen to three to Houston as they wind it
up right now, and attendance at Miami was eight thousand,
three hundred. But the Marlins, down three to two in
the six, came back to beat Philadelphia eight to three.
That ends the Phillies five game winning streak. Well, Atlanta
(28:50):
did beat the Mets in ten innings five for the
final Marcello Sona the tying three run double bottom of
the eighth. There was a rain delay about an hour
at the start and then Juan Soto of the Mets.
It is solo homer in the first. Mets pitcher Tyler
McGill goes on the injured list with a spring elbow.
The Mets have lost four in a row. They are
first in the NLA, still two games over the Phillies.
(29:12):
The Yankees have been shot.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Tom Seaver pitches tomorrow, so we're fine.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Yeah, you talk about Dodgers rotation, which he just did.
It is back to back nights of bullpend games for
LA and it's Emmett Sheen on the mound for tomorrow
night's game against the Padres, who's had only three rehab
starts at Triple A. Didn't pitch at all in the
Majors a year ago due to injury.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
So that's an l for the Padres.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
I'm just saying, at some point you got to get
somewhere halfway to a five man rotation here.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
No, you're okay, Look you just said Ed Sheeron is
pitching tomorrow night. It's gonna gets fright.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
It's Ed sheer and so at least he's got the
guitar in front of him for some protection.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
On ye, what will be the shape of this win
tomorrow for the Dodgers?
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Okay, The Dodgers are first place in the NL West.
They were two and a half games over the Giants
to start the night. Padres were four back. The Yankees
have been shut out three straight games. They've lost five straight.
Lost at home four to nothing to the Angels tonight.
This is twenty nine straight scoreless innings for the Yankees offense.
Wins for Saint Louis and Kansas City, victories for Baltimore
(30:14):
and the Cubs. Cincinnati edge Minnesota six to five. The
Reds have won eight of ten. The Twins have lost
five in a row. Toronto won with two solo homers
in the bottom of the ninth five to four over Arizona.
Victories for Detroit and for Colorado. The Colorado Rockies have
won three games in a row. They're now sixteen and
fifty seven. Win at Washington ten to six. It was
(30:37):
ten to one in the eighth. Washington has lost ten
games in a row. Game six of the Stanley Cup
Final went to Florida, beating Edmonton five to one, taking
the Cup for the second straight year. Last year it
was in seven against Edmonton. Early in the show, you
mentioned Connor McDavid. In fact, he is the only player
the Oilers star the only player in NHL history to
(31:01):
have nine straight ninety point seasons and not win the
Cup in any of those seasons. The NBA Finals Game
six will be Thursday at Indiana. Pacers guard Tyrese Halliburton
reportedly as a string calf, and there were six w
NBA games tonight, including in Indiana win over Connecticut twenty
points for Caitlin Clark. The late game had Seattle winning
(31:21):
easily at La Gabby Williams seven assists, eight steals, Minnesota
one eleven and one. New York won again ten and
one victories for Washington and for Dallas, which was one
and eleven but beat Golden State. The expansion team eighty
to seventy one page, Beckers twenty points. Michael Kopek has
gotten out of the inning, seventh inning stretch in La
(31:41):
Dodgers eight six over the Padres.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Becky, Yeah, but I don't know that he really got
out of it when I've ever seen this, I don't
know the last time I saw this. Bases loaded for
the Padres, He's got a one in two count, two outs,
it looks like he's going to get out of it,
but he stumbles in his motion and he doesn't throw
a pitch, and he kind of he falls over like
this is he he trips like something happens with his
(32:06):
back foot, and this is again a few pitches after
he hit the backstop on a throw and he doesn't
throw the ball and he falls down, which is a
ball which brings in the sixth run. The next pitch
is a ground out to short which ends the inning.
But Copeck just he was just pitching. It was one two.
The Dodger Stadium crowd was on its feet, and he
just slipped when he was trying to deliver the pitch.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Sport.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It is a it is a balk, and the sixth
run comes in every five minutes.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Something amazing happens in this game.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
One other note for our friend Lock and for the
Canada soccer game and Gold Cup wound up six nothing
over Honduras as.

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Well dressed hobo.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
And you know, the good times don't always keep going.
Sometimes the good times.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
End the good for good.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Sometimes sometimes the good times get up, and sometimes they leave,
and sometimes they're not coming back. Rafael Devers tonight in
his first game for the Giants, designated hitter, batting third,
two for five with an RBI.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
But the Guardians beat the Giants three to two.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He had his introductory press conference today for the Giants,
who obtained him in a huge deal over the weekend.
And look, we told you that we knew this trade.
I told you this trade was going to happen in March. Right,
Devers and the Red Sox were just not on the
same page. He did not want to be there. He
was upset that they brought in Alex Bregman to play
third base. He says, I'm the third baseman. They asked
(34:42):
him a designated hit and he said okay. Then they
asked him to play first base. He didn't want to
do it. It was untenable and you knew at some
point they just were going to have to trade it. Well,
it was off by two months, but they make the
trade over the weekend. So Devers meets the media tonight
and in a big blank you to Boston, was asked
a couple of questions about you know, hey, hey, well
(35:03):
you know, what are you gonna do here? And they
asked them, hey, what position do you want to play?
And Devers smiling in the camera where in his number
sixteen Jersey, said I'm here to play wherever they want
me to play, not I play third base or nowhere,
which is what he said with the Red Sox, or
I'll dh but I'm not gonna go play first base.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
This is Rafael Devers.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Saying I'm here to play wherever they want me to play.
Blank you, Boston, blank you. I'm gonna play if they
put me in right field, if they if they make
me catch, I'll catch. If they want me to pitch,
I'll pitch. I wouldn't play anywhere for you, but I
will play anywhere.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
The Giants need.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
This is an outstanding response, and look both sides. Obviously,
look the Red Sox endvors. They could have been a
little bit more adult about all of this, right, The
Red Sox have to know that what you know the
Devers has been there for a while, one of the
best hitters in the league right having a whole horrible
start this year that wound up leading the American League
in RBIs for a while. Now he's traded, they have
to know what his response is going to be when
(36:07):
they say, all of a sudden, you're not playing third
base anymore. And Devers has to be a little bit
more of a pro saying, Okay, what's going to happen here?
What's the plan? So both sides really have to you know,
I blame both sides for this, But the big point
was I knew it was untenable, and I knew it was.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Going to get traded, and he did.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
But then you get that other story today where a
scouting executive was fired because he got mad during a
zoom call and cursed out the head of baseball operations
of the.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Red Sox, and it is okay.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
It was kind of like that scene in Moneyball when
Billy Bean had to fire Grady.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
I'll fire you now, though, I'll fire it out Grady.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Like the Red Sox I started, I'm thinking about this. Yes,
they had the big run this weekend and they beat
the Yankees in they won six in row, and that's great,
and maybe not having Devers is going to change the
energy in the clubhouse. You didn't hear a lot of
Red Sox players say, I don't know what we're doing.
I can't believe we traded him. So it it's clear
that looks like Dever's war out as welcome. But this
(37:07):
is another year for the Red Sox going and they
got pounded tonight by Seattle. They've not been good. And
I mean when I say they've not been good, I
don't mean they haven't been good this year. It's been
a long time since you can say, hey, the Red
Sox have really contended.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
They were in the ALCS in twenty twenty one. Okay,
that's great, but that was their first playoff appearance since
they won the series in twenty eighteen. They finished last,
and twenty twenty two last and twenty twenty three third place.
Last year fourth place. They're in right now, five and
a half games out.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
Half game out of a wild guard.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
This is yeah, half game out of a wildcard. But
this is a Red Sox team that in the last
five years, like they've been a team that stirred the
drink for you know, basically since the early two thousands, right,
they come from behind and beat the Yankees and win
the World Series, and you know, they won four times
up until twenty eighteen. But it kind of feels like
their run as a dominant team is over and they're
(38:03):
kind of back to being the Red Sox of pre
two thousand and three, where it's, hey, we can be
good every couple of years and boy, we're gonna be
a thorn in the Yankee side, but we're not really
elite anymore. You see the way the team is running.
You know, you got guys yelling at each other on
zoom calls and not knowing how to deal with your
star player, how he's gonna react. Like I look at
(38:23):
the Red Sox and go, okay, are they still really
the Red Sox?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Are they still really the Red Sox or are they
just hey, they are another team. They're what they used
to be going up where they were popular and you
rooted for them, but they really weren't year to year great.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Because they've really fallen way off the cliff the last
the last four years. I mean, you're talking about teams
that finished twenty over twenty fifteen games back out of
first place the last three years.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah, I mean you're looking at an overhaul of a roster,
a lot of youth. And one of the big things
that go again going back to the Moneyball analogy, is
you know, trying to figure out where you can hide guys, right, Hattiburn,
Can he play for it? No, it's really bleeping hard, right,
That's it's incredible. And that's what they're doing with a
(39:09):
lot of these guys like can he play that? And no,
but he can hit Okay, how do we get him
in the lot because like literally with Roman Anthony, with
all of these guys, they're calling them up Campbell evidently.
You know, one of the last things that they had
was an issue with with Devors when Campbell was a
Christian Gonzales Sorry, he asked, hey, you uh, you're good.
(39:32):
I'll play wherever you want you want me to play, right,
and and so you have those issues going all the
way through so for and then you have the comments
Jared Durn like, yeah, you know he's one of the guys.
Trades happened, what'd you do? I took a nap when
they took him off the plane.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I Mean, it's just.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Nothing there that you're you're like, wow, this is a
roster that is in flux. But you know, part of
it is, Hey, it's the business of baseball, right, so
you know, I'm sorry it was Campbell as I'm conflating
surnames here, but it's just the idea of, you know,
try it, trying to find the right mix of players,
knowing you're in a crowded division, You're you're in the
(40:14):
thick of it. Baltimore has had issue after issue early
this season. Toronto's had their issues, So you've got and
now the Yankees can't score run so you've got an opportunity.
But the guys that are veterans are only a couple
of years into the game, and.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
They're going, yeah, but what are you gonna do? He
got you hated, Like, how do you really feel?
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Eh?
Speaker 3 (40:35):
But what can you do? What can you do?
Speaker 1 (40:37):
I mean the Red Sox just aren't the same. And
they made great moves in the offseason. I thought, hey,
they brought in a lot of bats and they are
a lot of sticks, and it just it just hasn't worked.
And now yet, maybe now they'll catch a little bit
of fire with Devers and okay, not being on the team.
But man, that they have not gotten it right in
a long time, like it's been, it's been, it's been
(40:59):
a minit it for the Red Sox to really be
the Red Sox, and so I wonder if they're ever
going to get back to that.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
And this is kind of who they are. Hey, they
contend for the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
You already at popular and maybe they can knock off
the Yankees, but there every couple of years being a
World Series favorite. I don't know that they'll get back
to those days. It may have just ended right because
a good times end right. Good times end being a
dominant team, and maybe you just become a team that
can contend for a wild card every year where at
the league contends until the end of August.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Well, but it's funny though, because you have all those
guys that they traded to the White Sox to bring
in Crochet. He's six and four two two four Era
one oh three, whip all of these things.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Why not? Yeah? Then that'll well. I mean, cause I
know your feelings about running.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, running is the worst thing in the world out there,
Like Matt Damon at the end of Air, What am
I doing?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
This is stupid? Why would I ever do this? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, running is you know, running is not great. You
don't need to run. Do other things, and other things
are more fun. Just running is like, man, how do
people do that? How do people just run? I don't
understand walking. I get enough of Like I'm just gonna
go for a walk, okay, But running is Why am
I doing this?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Why am I breathing so hard? Why am I Why
am I really.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Gonna feel that runner's nirvana that people say you get
after you run. Hey, when you get fifteen or eighteen
miles into a run, you get to a point where
it's just what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
When I get fifteen or eighteen I mean I see.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
The light and someone on the other side says, what
the hell are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Is that what they're doing?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Like, you know, I obviously like the walks I take
my dog on because I have no idea what's in
his crazy ass brain.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
On a day to day.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
He's gonna drag me all over the place. And occasionally
we find some some fun creatures as we're on our walks,
particularly at night.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
But you know, hey, it's.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
All that variability that that you gotta love, just like
go and racing.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So let me tell you about what's happening right now
in the biggest game of the night major League Baseball.
The Dodgers now lead the Padres six to three, and
kind of an off at bat for Andy Pask it
was only an RBI single to give the Dodgers that
six three.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Is he a star?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Look, we talked about him last hour. Yes, Andy pa
has all Star one hundred percent on board with that.
But I mean, you know, we had a little bit
of this conversation last week when they when they had
the very emotional series outside of Michigan and Ohio State
right which clearly, look, it's been one of the greatest
rivalries in all of sports for one hundred years, but
(03:14):
the last few years it has been incredibly more intense.
You had the last two national champions of Michigan Ohio State,
and still Michigan ruined Ohio State season by winning. You
could ask Ohio State fans would you rather have won
the national title or beat Michigan.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
They would say, we'll give the title back. We wanted
to beat Michigan out got that. You got Panthers oilers.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Outside of Michigan Ohio State, there is no better rivalry
in sports than the Dodgers padres. Right, just from last
night to tonight, and this is a this is just
a hey, here's a series in June. So tempers flare
between these two teams, as they do always, and Andy
Pajes gets hit last night in the middle of the
back and there was a bit of a kerfuffle over it,
(03:55):
and Manny Machado said after the game last night, No,
there's bigger dogs on that team.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We can hit that Andy pae Has.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Okay, So after that comment last night, what does pa
has do tonight? He hits not one, but two home
runs in his first two at bats for the Dodgers tonight. Meanwhile,
Fernando Tatis gets drilled in the back show Heo Tani
gets hit in the leg, Dave Roberts gets ejected, Like
what more could you want out of a major I mean,
(04:23):
we're not talking about that guy's getting it, But like,
this is a rivalry where in baseball sometimes it's really
tough to see that teams hate each other, you know,
cause some sport I feel like, okay, do they really
not like each other? Is this something where it's a
professional rivalry and we're trying to win it? No, no,
out and out. We hate each other And you could
see it on the field. You see the facial expression.
You see guys like Machado yelling across the diamond after
(04:45):
catching a pop up, which he did a couple of
innings ago, And you know how much these teams despise
each other. And every game they play is like a
mini playoff game. It doesn't matter if it's June August
or if they're playing in October. Every game is like that,
especially after the Dodgers knocked the Padres out of the
playoffs last year, returning that favor.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
For the year before.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Like, really, this is outside of Michigan, Ohio state, which
we get once a year this is the best rival
for his sports, and we get a handful of games
like this every single season.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It is outstanding.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well, we love the angst for every pitch, every bad.
I mean, look at that. Batt will Smith just had
twelve pitches files off eight of them before hitting a
two run home run. So I was fully expecting someone
to wear it in the ribs shortly thereafter.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But it's kind of like the end of that. The
Oilers just gave up.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
They sport the goal, but I didn't get any of
the fights I was hoping for, just the angst at
the end, right, you know, we got a long offseason,
Go hit somebody. But here the fact that we didn't
get any of these games until what game sixty seven,
sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Whatever it was last week.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
The build up was was intense because we're looking at
the NL West and both teams shopping at the bits,
a chirping back and forth, and so we finally get it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You roll it over into you know, big moments. Add
the juice of Sho Hao Tony getting back on the
mound yesterday, and you just take it to a whole
other level. The coverage of this series, as well as
the sellout crowds. When you got fifty three thousand cramming
in to watch every little bit of this give and take,
(06:24):
it's it's beautiful for the game. I mean, they're reporting
all sorts of great marks across the board for the
league on TV and in stadium, and Father's Day weekend
was huge. So this is great that this is at
the forefront of it all because come October we're gonna
see these teams right back in the mix once again again.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Six three Dodgers with the lead. They have one out
runners at second and third. Mets killer Tommy Edmund hoping
to break this game open here again.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Jason, don't forget Miguel.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The Mets is a good rivalry, Okay, Marcello Zuna, I've
laid off of prefer of correcting you Frostburg Barcela Zuna.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
All right, if you're gonna talk about the guy that
for sure, TJ.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Some people call him Maurice Malcolm.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Markinson Ozuna beat the Mets that, yes, they did, disappeared
just like that.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I'm not Markingson and you Markinson. Well that neither the
ust are Markinson. That's two of us.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Uh So again, that's where we sit right now. Again
best rivory in sports, we get the look I'm up for,
Like I used to be up for Yankees Red Sox,
you know once well, you know, twice a month, But
then the game's got so long where I'm like, Okay,
I can't. I can't every Sunday Night Baseball, Yankees, Red Sox.
That's you had a half hours, right, You at least
have to separate it out. It can't be every Nana game, man,
(07:49):
I can't. I can't have that right. No, Maybe I
don't care about it being on some I just feel like, okay,
you got to bring it in in an amount of
time where I can watch the game and and and
not feel like, Okay, I've just you know, worked out
or run run a marathon for four hours, like you can't.
Every game can't be four and a half hours. But
now the pace of play and that works better. But uh,
(08:09):
nothing is better than Dodgers Padres right now. I like
it that you went back to the running analogy. Yeah, now,
something that has been I've been obsessed with all day.
And I got my dad on board with this, and
I can't believe he didn't know about it, and and
I didn't know how long this has been going on,
and I find this is like a twenty some odd
year thing.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
So we talked about this really briefly last night.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Right, doctor.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
There is didn't give that a minute yesterday.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Your dad's on board, No, there is none.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
My dad doesn't care. I I could say, Dad, you
know who's coaching the Knicks? Who read Holtzman. He would say, oh,
he's a great coach. Yeah, okay, No, my dad, No.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
He's back. He was frozen. Was he hanging with Waltz?
Age seven seventh? Care?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Dad, George Mikeen is coaching the Knicks. Oh, he's a
great player. Oh George Mikeen was great.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
No, he doesn't care. Uh So.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
MLB dot com has this contest they've had it for
a while called Beat the Streak, and it's pretty simple.
You just need you sign up, you know, just sign
up for MLB dot comies, you know, type in your
name and your email addressed like normal.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
It's a free account, and you play a game called
Beat the Streak.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
All you have to do every day is pick a
player who's going to get a hit. Before the game starts,
pick a player who's going to get a hit. If
you can pick fifty seven games in a row, any
player you want. I think you can pick any player
you want anytime. As long as you pick a guy
getting a hit in every game, you keep the streak going.
If you beat Joe DiMaggio's streak, you can win over
(09:37):
five and a half million, right, five point six million
dollars for fifty six game minutes. Right, five point six
million dollars. They've been doing this contest now for over
twenty years. There's been a bunch of people get to forty.
But last night a guy was at fifty. All right,
there was a guy his user name was low Tank,
and he was at fifty games and he picked a's
(10:01):
Jacob Wilson, Right, who's having a pretty good year. Right,
I'm like, okay, at this point I would just go Otani,
Judge Otani, judge. I mean, come on, I mean, why
aren't you doing Otani judge Otani, Judge.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
The guy's hitting four hundred, what do you want to
do that? Right? So, or really judge because he's hitting
three eighty.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So, but he picks Jacob Wilson, and again, fifty is
a rare thing with this, and it looked like he
was going to lose. And then he comes up in
the last time in the eighth inning after going zero
for three, and he bloops a ball into right field,
into no man's land behind first base, right with a
runner on first. So base hit and you're like, the
(10:36):
street continues, Oh my god, this is awesome. Right, because
it lands, the outfielder picks it up, sees that Max Schuman,
who was on first base, held up a little bit
too much because he couldn't tell if the ball was
going to be caught.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
They fire over to second base and get Schumann out
on a force play. This means there is no hit.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And that was the last day bat for Jacob Wilson,
and tank streak was over. And all the controversy that
I saw about this off of because it happened late
last night. Right, the A's game was late and overnight
last night and early today. All that's still a hit.
It's still a hit. It's no it just seems like
it hit because the ball was hit to the outfield.
But right, they forced him out at second base. Right,
(11:18):
that's that's kind of what it was. Now if he
had stopped running and tried to go back to first
and got tagged out, like, that's a different case like
that's a but the fact that they were able to
force him out at second base, it's a force play.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
The ball could be hit off.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The wall in right field, and if the guy doesn't
get from first to second base you throw him out.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
That's still an out insteads still a fielder's choice. So
it was. It was an awful.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Beat, right, just a terrible beat for a guy who
was in fifty games. It was you know, you get
through fifty games like this, you are six games away
from maybe winning five and a half million dollars. And
it's not that the guy goes oh for four, the
guy actually gets what is a base hit ninety nine
and forty four, one hundred percent of the time, like
as pure as ivory snow, that's the number.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Of times that thing is a hit.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Except for that play last night. And that was such
an awful beat. And I told my dad about it,
and he couldn't believe his let's do it you and me.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, let's all do it well alternate days.
I'm like, oh, awesome. That way, when we lose, I
can blame you. He was, I'm not gonna lose, I'm
just gonna I know who I'm aout, don't know, You're
gonna just pick Mets players the whole time. So now
my dad and I decided we're gonna do it together
(12:25):
and we're gonna we're gonna flip picking every other day,
and that's how we're gonna do this. And now now
it's gonna be a big bonding thing for us for
the rest.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Of our lives.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Look at that. You got a half a year ago.
You can still get there before the season ends. Can't
wait to see the Mets guy you picked that.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I'm gonna go with Brett Baby. I'm sorry, Dad, what
are you doing? What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (12:49):
By the way, this is very simple. If you want
to beat Joe DiMaggio, you just.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Don't take the Mets. No Mets players.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
You know, Frostburg, we're actually really really good, and we.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
On guy from the Braves. That guy can clear.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, because that's what I want to do, is change
places in the standings with with the Braves.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That's what I want to Yeah, Okay, you know the
Braves are twelve games out right, you know the twelve
games out.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
The way.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
It's a marathon, not a sprint. They're twelve.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Okay, where would I rather be seventeen games over five
hundred or or seven games under.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
I know you'd rather be where where they are because
you have room to improve. All that can happen now
is you colossally fail, and then you have to listen
to Frostburg for the rest science you think. I'm gonna
tell the truth every time we lose, I'm gonna say, oh,
my dad was my dad's pick.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That was my dad's pick. We lost. Oh, it's never
gonna be your fault.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
My dad forgot to make the pick in Yeah, my
dad fat fingered it.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Vote.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know, That's the one thing I don't know is
that if you don't pick a game, if it keeps going,
or if you have to pick every.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Day, like I didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I didn't look at up yet, Like if somehow you
miss a gain, does it keep going?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Like that's the one they get into the official rules there.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, But then I felt so bad for this guy.
But I'm like, wow, now it's a pod because now
it's a big bonding moment for me in my ball look,
and this is that I'm excited about this all the
time with him, and now it's after like we'll get
to get to like five in a row, and I'm
gonna go come on, dad, pray, come on, this is
five this don't screw it up.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Dad. We're almost a tenth of the way there. Dad.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
We just gotta say, can you imagine doing this and
like getting to the end of the year and and
being at like for like ten games away, but the
season ends, so you pick it up and people, it's like,
oh my god, all the research I have to do
with who has good starts and slow starts? And opening
day everybody's facing an ace on opening day?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
What the hell am I gonna do?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Like, I can't get a bullpend game opening day, everybody's
facing an ace? What the hell is gonna happen? Like,
that's gonna be stress, man, that's stress.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Long road begins with the step get that buick in.
That's just a rough beat, man, just such a rough beat.

Continued support Mike and I love putting this content out
for you every single night.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So quick update on what just happened in the.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Latest edition of the Best Rivalry in Baseball, the Dodgers
and the Padres in a game that's been filled with
two home runs by Andy Pajes after Manny Michaudo called
him out last night saying, if we wanted to hit
a guy, there's bigger Dogs and the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
To hit than him. He's at two home runs.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Fornanotitis Junior's got hit in the back, Tony got hit
in the leg. Dave Roberts got thrown out of the
game for arguing af for Otani got hit. Now, Iglesias
was just hit by Matt Sower and Machado streams out
of the dugout screaming for sour to get tossed, and
all of a sudden there's a big conversation and Machada
(18:19):
was standing around yelling and screaming and gesturing about throw
him out of the game, throw him out of the game.
And Brooks follows up with a home run to right
center field to make it an eight five game Dodgers
Padres one out in the seventh inning.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I mean it get an assist. I think he might.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I thought, does he get a kind of points for that?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah? No, I think I give that too much. I
think I give a shadow Mikey.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Wow, I did all that escalated quickly. Now we mentioned
this really quick last out, but I want to say
it again. I feel like it's an inevitability that the
Dodgers and Padres are gonna brawl at some point this season.
Maybe not tonight, but at some point somebody's gonna get
hit it or there's gonna be a real physical play.
And you can tell how much these teams absolutely can't
stand each other. They're gonna wind up browing just to
(19:07):
get that tension out, then go back to play in baseball,
because right now every single play is tinged with I
just want to throw a punch at you.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Right like I feel.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I feel that that's every single play that goes on
between these two teams, and so far, hey, we'll make
you pay on the scoreboard. But at some point that
the boiling points gonna get too high, there's gonna need
to be some sort of release to get everything back
to normal. So I think at some point this again,
it might not be tonight. But at some point this
season we're gonna get a big Dodgers Padres brawl. It's
gonna be Oh my god, keep Otani out of it.
(19:38):
Oh my god, keep Freddy Freeman out of it. Oh God,
tell my God, keep Junior out of it. Oh my god,
keep these guys. That's what it's gonna happen right now.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Like Brute Is from Popeye, I would gladly pay you
tuesday for a brawl today.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
And all I was gonna say was, you know, keep
the big dogs on the porch.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
If you can't run with the big dogs, you stay
on the porch.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Well, I mean that was a big brand back in
the day, no question about it. But in this particular case,
you don't want your big dogs in the middle of it.
And Kershaw, I mean, he's another guy. You gotta stand
over there and just point.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Oh no, he'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He'll be He'll be a guy. He look at Kershaw.
He'll be running in very slowly from the outfield. This
is not Kershaw ten years ago. I'm not worried about Kershaw.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I don't worry about it as long as that fight's
not at seven to ten on the Dot.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
He's good.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
That is a fair point.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Ha Tann is late to tease, comes up to lead off,
and before he even gets in the in the box,
he runs straight at Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Wait at seven eleven. It's seven eleven.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I knew I could get his head. That's all I was, boy,
I'll tell you. And again the game is going on
like this and it's still only the top of the
seventh inning. The Padres have made of the game. I mean,
I don't know what more you could want.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I love chaos.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Hey, who's that dummy standing at the top of the pod?
I can't make him out? Who is standing at the
top of the stairs? When Padre dug out.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Was um Frostburg hates Mike Schildt absolutely can't stand him.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I don't think he's starting to grow on people. Yeah,
is that growing on Frostburg?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
That's for sure watching the Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
It's not, it's not I got Did I say that
he was growing on him in a positive way?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
No? Yeah, Sometimes you should be thrown a negative way. Yeah, No,
sometimes thrown a negative way if.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
You should be a polled of his face.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So a bit of controversy happening, right, of course, because
it's this game, so what could have been a double
play grounder? Uh, Tommy Edmund grabs the ball, flips it
to Mookie Bets. Mookie Bets does not make the play,
and Fernando to Teast Junior is safe.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Uh. He looks over to see.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
If Edmund is okay, and Tatist Junior believes that Mookie
Bets made this catch because he can't see slides in
the second and the ball was gonna beat mookie Bets there. Uh,
and the ball was gonn to beat Tatist Junior there.
So he slides in and he slides in facing third base,
so he doesn't see that Mookie Bets drop the ball.
Now he looks up. He looks at the umpire, who
(22:09):
doesn't say anything. He looks over at Edmund to see
if Edmund is okay, because you watch Edmund die for
the ball. He thinks he's out. He takes two steps
off of second base. Mookie Betts tags him out and
so it's an out on the field and Tatise walks off.
Mike Schildt yells, get back on the bag, get back
on the bag. We're gonna peel this. So he goes
back on the bag and in the end. It turns
(22:32):
out they're going back to look at it. Right now,
there's a pitching change going on. Machada is coming up
like this. This is the game of the year in
Major League Baseball right now. This, I mean, I don't
know that there's been a better game all season long
than this was.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
He was he did they call time out like all
of that being reviewed in the process. But yeah, you
gotta have it boil over. This is the greatest. Well,
and you have someone come out and sing the seventh
inning stretch, come on, let's go.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
And I am gonna say this right like and look
this is frost is gonna get mad at me.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
But well, yeah, because you say this is a great rivalry.
In order for be rivalry rivalry a great rivalry, they
got to be good.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
The Padres are not.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
The Padres are still good.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
They are not good.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
They are they're good for two.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Bullpen games in a row.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well there is that.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
There's that.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I mean, it doesn't mean they're not good. It just
means you're better.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I mean, think about this for one second. You want
to know how bad they are. They actually thought Andy
pa haz was in a Superstar.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, well you know that that's their fault.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
That that's Manny Machado run in his mouth when he
shouldn't have that, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Well, I mean, look, if you aren't going to rank
him though he is fourth out of the three guys
that he that he did reference, I mean, as much
as we may celebrate the greatness that is piez Is,
he's now established new career highs and home run and
RBI and is having a big night tonight after all
of the dust up and your favorite manager getting all
chesty yesterday, Frostburg. I mean, he's had a fantastic night,
(23:59):
but he's still behind those other three guys.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
And I don't even think it's crazy to say that
right now in their careers, Andy pye Is is better than
Manny Machatto.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I don't know about that. Yeah, really, let's not get crazy. Really,
let's not get crazy. I don't even think let's not
get crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Look, look, if we're gonna go back to that whole
running thing. You see, you got to listen to the
whole show, you really do. If we're gonna go back
to the running thing, then yeah, Machado probably loses out there.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
But tough to dismiss him. Overall here justin I mean,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
So after okay, we got a pitching change again. This
game is just insane. Michael Kopek comes in for the Dodgers.
They award Fernando to Teast Junior second base, and I
think they awarded him second base because the home played
umpire come out with the ball to throw back to
the pitcher, and he's the one that was that was
shaking his head, going no, he's safe.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Tatiase doesn't see the safe call from.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Second base mPire Marvin Hudson, right because the tea slides
into the base. He doesn't see it, but Marvin Hudson
calls him safe, and to Tease Junior stands up, looks
at the up. The ump doesn't say anything because he
made the safe call, and so he gets off the
bag to go back and that's when Mookie Bets tagged
him out.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
And I believe the.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Home plate umpire had called for time or time had
been called, which means the play is dead.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
So Fernando Totis Junior gets to stay at second.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I'm only guessing by what I see and my knowledge
of baseball, because obviously we can't hear what's being said,
but I'm pretty sure that's what happens. Now, Manny Mchado
gets to come up as the tying run in the
top of the seventh inning with runners at first and second.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
You're a betting man, right, yes, sir, well you want
to better strike out here.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I'd love to see the live, live odds if we
can get those posted real fast.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
A strikeout from Copek.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
I know Jason's rooting for a homer, but.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yeah, you know, I'd be on board a strike out.
I think it's a great spot for it. Former White
Sox starter Closer mountains instead.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Michael Kopek just threw a pitch that I'm not lying
was about ten feet over Will smith head Like, I
don't know how he actually let that ball go, but
that pitch wasn't even close, and it hits the backstop,
almost hits Mary Hart and bounces all the way up
the first base line to tease Junior, almost scores all
the way from second base because the ball bounced away
(26:16):
so far.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
So now it's second and third for the Padres and Manny.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Machatta Art's still at this game.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
My good Oh no, no, come on, she's still She's
still there right as bedtime. Mary Hart is still there.
It's a it's only nine to thirty. Let me look
hang on that stuff.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Mary.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Oh no, Wow, Mary Hart is not there. Wow, she's
he there. Wow. She taps out. She taps out early.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Uh so uh Manny Machado walks to load the bases
now one out top of the seventh. Dodgers lead the
Padres eight to five.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Uh For more on.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
This game, let's find out what's trending from a man
who's been called the Michael Kopek of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
One time I watched him throw a ball ten feet
over the catcher's head.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
Too. It is steve to say that would have gone
straight into the third row if there was no screen,
and somebody would still be screaming getting in by that too.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
That was a bullet and.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Nowhere near the catcher. So Gavin Sheets is up with
bases loaded, one out top of the seventh for the Padres.
Sheets already has another couple rbiyes tonight. Gavin Sheets has
over forty rbiyes for the Padres so far this season.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Former White sock now good correct.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Against former White sock Ridy Michael Kopek in relief the
Dodgers did have an eight to three lead to start
the seven. It's eight to five and could be more
in a moment, And you are correct, Jason on surmising
the time out. Tatis Junior should have been out walking
off the second base bag thinking he was out, and
it looked like the home played umpire held up a
(27:47):
new baseball to put in play to replace the one
that many mookie bets had just dropped. And then Manny Machado,
of course just walked and we've got bases loaded. Wow,
this is yet again a good series between these two.
At Seattle col Raleigh with a Grand Slam as twenty
seventh homer of the year eight nothing Mariners over Boston,
(28:08):
a team that had won six straight. Raleigh with a
two run double as well. He has sixty RBIs. Cleveland
won at San Francisco three to two, beating Robbie Ray,
who had been eight and one Raphael Devers of the
Giants in RBI double. The team left thirteen men on base,
though San Francisco will activate pitcher Justin Verlander to start Wednesday.
(28:29):
Attendants in Sacramento eight thousand, three hundred, the A's are
losing thirteen to three to Houston as they wind it
up right now, and attendance at Miami was eight thousand,
three hundred. But the Marlins, down three to two in
the six, came back to beat Philadelphia eight to three.
That ends the Phillies five game winning streak. Well, Atlanta
(28:50):
did beat the Mets in ten innings five for the
final Marcello Sona the tying three run double bottom of
the eighth. There was a rain delay about an hour
at the start and then Juan Soto of the Mets.
It is solo homer in the first. Mets pitcher Tyler
McGill goes on the injured list with a spring elbow.
The Mets have lost four in a row. They are
first in the NLA, still two games over the Phillies.
(29:12):
The Yankees have been shot.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Tom Seaver pitches tomorrow, so we're fine.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Yeah, you talk about Dodgers rotation, which he just did.
It is back to back nights of bullpend games for
LA and it's Emmett Sheen on the mound for tomorrow
night's game against the Padres, who's had only three rehab
starts at Triple A. Didn't pitch at all in the
Majors a year ago due to injury.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
So that's an l for the Padres.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
I'm just saying, at some point you got to get
somewhere halfway to a five man rotation here.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
No, you're okay, Look you just said Ed Sheeron is
pitching tomorrow night. It's gonna gets fright.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
It's Ed sheer and so at least he's got the
guitar in front of him for some protection.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
On ye, what will be the shape of this win
tomorrow for the Dodgers?
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Okay, The Dodgers are first place in the NL West.
They were two and a half games over the Giants
to start the night. Padres were four back. The Yankees
have been shut out three straight games. They've lost five straight.
Lost at home four to nothing to the Angels tonight.
This is twenty nine straight scoreless innings for the Yankees offense.
Wins for Saint Louis and Kansas City, victories for Baltimore
(30:14):
and the Cubs. Cincinnati edge Minnesota six to five. The
Reds have won eight of ten. The Twins have lost
five in a row. Toronto won with two solo homers
in the bottom of the ninth five to four over Arizona.
Victories for Detroit and for Colorado. The Colorado Rockies have
won three games in a row. They're now sixteen and
fifty seven. Win at Washington ten to six. It was
(30:37):
ten to one in the eighth. Washington has lost ten
games in a row. Game six of the Stanley Cup
Final went to Florida, beating Edmonton five to one, taking
the Cup for the second straight year. Last year it
was in seven against Edmonton. Early in the show, you
mentioned Connor McDavid. In fact, he is the only player
the Oilers star the only player in NHL history to
(31:01):
have nine straight ninety point seasons and not win the
Cup in any of those seasons. The NBA Finals Game
six will be Thursday at Indiana. Pacers guard Tyrese Halliburton
reportedly as a string calf, and there were six w
NBA games tonight, including in Indiana win over Connecticut twenty
points for Caitlin Clark. The late game had Seattle winning
(31:21):
easily at La Gabby Williams seven assists, eight steals, Minnesota
one eleven and one. New York won again ten and
one victories for Washington and for Dallas, which was one
and eleven but beat Golden State. The expansion team eighty
to seventy one page, Beckers twenty points. Michael Kopek has
gotten out of the inning, seventh inning stretch in La
(31:41):
Dodgers eight six over the Padres.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Becky, Yeah, but I don't know that he really got
out of it when I've ever seen this, I don't
know the last time I saw this. Bases loaded for
the Padres, He's got a one in two count, two outs,
it looks like he's going to get out of it,
but he stumbles in his motion and he doesn't throw
a pitch, and he kind of he falls over like
this is he he trips like something happens with his
(32:06):
back foot, and this is again a few pitches after
he hit the backstop on a throw and he doesn't
throw the ball and he falls down, which is a
ball which brings in the sixth run. The next pitch
is a ground out to short which ends the inning.
But Copeck just he was just pitching. It was one two.
The Dodger Stadium crowd was on its feet, and he
just slipped when he was trying to deliver the pitch.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Sport.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It is a it is a balk, and the sixth
run comes in every five minutes.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Something amazing happens in this game.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
One other note for our friend Lock and for the
Canada soccer game and Gold Cup wound up six nothing
over Honduras as.

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best

Speaker 5 (33:51):
Well dressed hobo.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
And you know, the good times don't always keep going.
Sometimes the good times.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
End the good for good.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Sometimes sometimes the good times get up, and sometimes they leave,
and sometimes they're not coming back. Rafael Devers tonight in
his first game for the Giants, designated hitter, batting third,
two for five with an RBI.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
But the Guardians beat the Giants three to two.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He had his introductory press conference today for the Giants,
who obtained him in a huge deal over the weekend.
And look, we told you that we knew this trade.
I told you this trade was going to happen in March. Right,
Devers and the Red Sox were just not on the
same page. He did not want to be there. He
was upset that they brought in Alex Bregman to play
third base. He says, I'm the third baseman. They asked
(34:42):
him a designated hit and he said okay. Then they
asked him to play first base. He didn't want to
do it. It was untenable and you knew at some
point they just were going to have to trade it. Well,
it was off by two months, but they make the
trade over the weekend. So Devers meets the media tonight
and in a big blank you to Boston, was asked
a couple of questions about you know, hey, hey, well
(35:03):
you know, what are you gonna do here? And they
asked them, hey, what position do you want to play?
And Devers smiling in the camera where in his number
sixteen Jersey, said I'm here to play wherever they want
me to play, not I play third base or nowhere,
which is what he said with the Red Sox, or
I'll dh but I'm not gonna go play first base.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
This is Rafael Devers.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Saying I'm here to play wherever they want me to play.
Blank you, Boston, blank you. I'm gonna play if they
put me in right field, if they if they make
me catch, I'll catch. If they want me to pitch,
I'll pitch. I wouldn't play anywhere for you, but I
will play anywhere.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
The Giants need.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
This is an outstanding response, and look both sides. Obviously,
look the Red Sox endvors. They could have been a
little bit more adult about all of this, right, The
Red Sox have to know that what you know the
Devers has been there for a while, one of the
best hitters in the league right having a whole horrible
start this year that wound up leading the American League
in RBIs for a while. Now he's traded, they have
to know what his response is going to be when
(36:07):
they say, all of a sudden, you're not playing third
base anymore. And Devers has to be a little bit
more of a pro saying, Okay, what's going to happen here?
What's the plan? So both sides really have to you know,
I blame both sides for this, But the big point
was I knew it was untenable, and I knew it was.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Going to get traded, and he did.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
But then you get that other story today where a
scouting executive was fired because he got mad during a
zoom call and cursed out the head of baseball operations
of the.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Red Sox, and it is okay.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
It was kind of like that scene in Moneyball when
Billy Bean had to fire Grady.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
I'll fire you now, though, I'll fire it out Grady.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Like the Red Sox I started, I'm thinking about this. Yes,
they had the big run this weekend and they beat
the Yankees in they won six in row, and that's great,
and maybe not having Devers is going to change the
energy in the clubhouse. You didn't hear a lot of
Red Sox players say, I don't know what we're doing.
I can't believe we traded him. So it it's clear
that looks like Dever's war out as welcome. But this
(37:07):
is another year for the Red Sox going and they
got pounded tonight by Seattle. They've not been good. And
I mean when I say they've not been good, I
don't mean they haven't been good this year. It's been
a long time since you can say, hey, the Red
Sox have really contended.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
They were in the ALCS in twenty twenty one. Okay,
that's great, but that was their first playoff appearance since
they won the series in twenty eighteen. They finished last,
and twenty twenty two last and twenty twenty three third place.
Last year fourth place. They're in right now, five and
a half games out.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
Half game out of a wild guard.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
This is yeah, half game out of a wildcard. But
this is a Red Sox team that in the last
five years, like they've been a team that stirred the
drink for you know, basically since the early two thousands, right,
they come from behind and beat the Yankees and win
the World Series, and you know, they won four times
up until twenty eighteen. But it kind of feels like
their run as a dominant team is over and they're
(38:03):
kind of back to being the Red Sox of pre
two thousand and three, where it's, hey, we can be
good every couple of years and boy, we're gonna be
a thorn in the Yankee side, but we're not really
elite anymore. You see the way the team is running.
You know, you got guys yelling at each other on
zoom calls and not knowing how to deal with your
star player, how he's gonna react. Like I look at
(38:23):
the Red Sox and go, okay, are they still really
the Red Sox?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Are they still really the Red Sox or are they
just hey, they are another team. They're what they used
to be going up where they were popular and you
rooted for them, but they really weren't year to year great.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Because they've really fallen way off the cliff the last
the last four years. I mean, you're talking about teams
that finished twenty over twenty fifteen games back out of
first place the last three years.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah, I mean you're looking at an overhaul of a roster,
a lot of youth. And one of the big things
that go again going back to the Moneyball analogy, is
you know, trying to figure out where you can hide guys, right, Hattiburn,
Can he play for it? No, it's really bleeping hard, right,
That's it's incredible. And that's what they're doing with a
(39:09):
lot of these guys like can he play that? And no,
but he can hit Okay, how do we get him
in the lot because like literally with Roman Anthony, with
all of these guys, they're calling them up Campbell evidently.
You know, one of the last things that they had
was an issue with with Devors when Campbell was a
Christian Gonzales Sorry, he asked, hey, you uh, you're good.
(39:32):
I'll play wherever you want you want me to play, right,
and and so you have those issues going all the
way through so for and then you have the comments
Jared Durn like, yeah, you know he's one of the guys.
Trades happened, what'd you do? I took a nap when
they took him off the plane.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I Mean, it's just.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Nothing there that you're you're like, wow, this is a
roster that is in flux. But you know, part of
it is, Hey, it's the business of baseball, right, so
you know, I'm sorry it was Campbell as I'm conflating
surnames here, but it's just the idea of, you know,
try it, trying to find the right mix of players,
knowing you're in a crowded division, You're you're in the
(40:14):
thick of it. Baltimore has had issue after issue early
this season. Toronto's had their issues, So you've got and
now the Yankees can't score run so you've got an opportunity.
But the guys that are veterans are only a couple
of years into the game, and.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
They're going, yeah, but what are you gonna do? He
got you hated, Like, how do you really feel?
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Eh?
Speaker 3 (40:35):
But what can you do? What can you do?
Speaker 1 (40:37):
I mean the Red Sox just aren't the same. And
they made great moves in the offseason. I thought, hey,
they brought in a lot of bats and they are
a lot of sticks, and it just it just hasn't worked.
And now yet, maybe now they'll catch a little bit
of fire with Devers and okay, not being on the team.
But man, that they have not gotten it right in
a long time, like it's been, it's been, it's been
(40:59):
a minit it for the Red Sox to really be
the Red Sox, and so I wonder if they're ever
going to get back to that.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
And this is kind of who they are. Hey, they
contend for the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
You already at popular and maybe they can knock off
the Yankees, but there every couple of years being a
World Series favorite. I don't know that they'll get back
to those days. It may have just ended right because
a good times end right. Good times end being a
dominant team, and maybe you just become a team that
can contend for a wild card every year where at
the league contends until the end of August.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Well, but it's funny though, because you have all those
guys that they traded to the White Sox to bring
in Crochet. He's six and four two two four Era
one oh three, whip all of these things.
