shiny in your world, man, Love the pop videos, love

Cal Rowley's still doing it big. How you bet? Man?

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Great? Great?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Just to left Y Ey to anyone that follows me,
just know anytime I make those videos after a home run,
my girlfriend hates.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Every twenty seconds of it good.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
So she's the most turned off woman for twenty seconds
after those videos are made.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
So she hates my guts when those are going on.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
But whos job? It's my job starting for those ears.
But it's my job.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Timeline loves it, of course. I mean I look at him.

Good work by you on that one. Now who gets
more like scared of those videos? The pop or your girlfriend?

Speaker 1 (01:58):
The pup loves himself. She knows when they're going on
because she can. I guess she feels my like energy
coming out of me because.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm revving up. It's a one take video.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
If I do two takes, it's because my finger slipped
off a snapchat trying to lock it in. So it's
a one take Johnny every single time for the most part.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
But I'm like, oh, where is she at? So I
can think about how I'm gonna do this video.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
That's that won't be anywhere near that's hysterical. I love it. Yeah,
I mean, look, anyone has a significant other. That's probably
the same way that they're going to react to it
as well. But keep them going. Of course, major juice
four o'clock hour here in the daily Ticket A lot
to get to. I did play a little reven there.
Have you ever been to a NASCAR race Colby?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
No, I've never gone. I lived by. I grew up
near the Chicago Speed Speedway. Okay, so that's in my
hometown actually, which is weird.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
It's nowhere near Chicago. It's an hour south.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It's in Joliet, Illinois, home of Mike Alstott, George, Mike Rudy,
all them. Rude Rudy went to my high Rudy went
to my high school. What Yeah, his brother was our
strength coach. He's like five foot one stop it.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
His his gym was like the football teams like.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Gym and it wasn't even connected to school. It was
like another talent over and no one paid. Everyone's like, yeah,
make sure.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
You pay your dues on he's living out the name.
I love it. That's good work by him on that one.
Mike Allstop maybe one of the greatest fullbacks to ever
played in the position in the NFL history. I love
that as well him and work done, tore it up
for the Tampa Bay Bucks and then some. But I
bring up NASCAR because I will be in attendance for
the Pocono four hundred going on on Sunday and making

(03:42):
the trip up due to the fact that your boy
got a call over here, Governor Shapiro. Everybody loves him.
Good dude here in Pennsylvania doing great things, getting s done.
Hit me up as people over there and not Governor
Spirit I'd be really cool.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
If he did.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
If you doubt me, humble Brad. So we're gonna go up.
Bernard's going up with me a co host over here
on the Gambler, and we're gonna have some fun looking
forward to that. And of course Governor uh Shapiro doing
big things with us here. That's pretty cool stuff there,
all right.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
They make a lot of left turns.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Big yeah, yeah, yeah, big. Well, I'll tell you what.
I've been to two races before and it's it's pretty
it's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Just feel like it's a hype environment. Am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm very ignorant would be the correct term of my
fandom with Nastary.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
You're spot on because it is loud dude, the sound
of those cars, it's crazy. I think the idol like
just get off the gas and idols of it, like fifty.
It is so loud, like you just feel it. And uh,
it's gonna be pretty cool. So beautiful weather here finally
on the East coast, and looking forward to it, all right,
looking forward to our conversations. Let's start here in our

(04:48):
backyard of Philadelphia, Colby. Of course, Phillies ended up losing
a tough one last night. Big topic they'll putting the
loss to the Marlins to the side is the fact that, uh,
Nick Castellanos.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I was gonna, I was gonna do it.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I was gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
You didn't had something to say to the manager, Rob Thompson.
In the previous game that they won. He was pulled
out in the eighth inning for Rojas, who is a
better defensive player out there in the outfield, and CASTI
will go with Casty. He was not a fan of
the move, and Casty looked at the end of the day,

(05:21):
it's not a big deal. Managers and players. Are you
people get benched? Oh well, you move on. They play
one sixty two. The reason why this is significant, Colby,
is the fact that Casty just broke a consecutive game
streak at two thirty six, where I think he's now
number two on the list for Phillies all time, only
behind Mike Schmidt. I believe. I think he passed off

(05:43):
j Row. Mike Schmidt was next on the list at
three something so obtainable. I believe over the next year,
it's got another year on the four year contract. So
a streak comes to an end of two thirty six,
So that makes it a talking or at least a
topic of conversation. How would you have handled it, Colby
marsh Would you have sided with Thompson here and like,

(06:03):
hey man, you gotta police the team. This is your squad.
You can't be getting shown up and he crossed the line.
You gotta do what you gotta do here. Or would
you say, you know what, cooler heads prevail. My guy's
my guy. He's got a streak, and that streak must continue.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I'm gonna take quit like left turn right now and
no pun intended with a NASCAR talk, But when I
found out that it ended his streak, I'm like, I
haven't heard nor thought anyone cared about that type of stuff.
In the last twenty years, because nobody plays every single
day anymore, and if they do, it's like, oh wow,

(06:38):
really and it's a it's a second thought, like there's
no Cal Rippins anymore. We got cal Riley's, now we
go I got?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Do I have the softest generation? I don't know, because
we claim to have the best technology, but no one's
playing every single day. But Cal Ripkon played every day
and those were car salesmen, if it was if he
was playing in the NBA. So hey, backt to what
you said. My favorite part about this whole thing was
what the old skipper said. One of the many things

(07:05):
I like or love about Nick is that he's very emotional.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Love that quote, because he's just.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Like putting him in time out by benching him when
I'm just trying to process. Casianos is one of those
unique guys. He's not the best interviewer. Be whatever you
want to be. That's fine, and not everyone's made for
the press. Not everyone's made to be the face of whatever.
He definitely had one of those moments where he's mouthed
off to his boss quote unquote, and a little bit

(07:32):
too much got out.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
We've all been there, We've all been there.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
We've all wanted to say something about a former boss,
current boss, whatever.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Maybe he went a.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Little too far, But the beauty thing is he's still
gonna get paid a lot more.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Money than I'm gonna today.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
That man for you, it's it's he's definitely in like
a time out thing. It's kind of weird. I would
love to know. It's kind of like JR. Smith thrown
the soup? What kind of soup was it?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
What did he what did he say? I want to
know JR.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Smith's soup of choice. Now he's a different character. He
plays golf. I like JR. I've always been a fan
of JR.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Love JR.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Do you have a go to soup?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I'm not a super guy, not not homemade.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
You're not a sup I can't stand people that aren't soup.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Not a soup guy.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
I meant like a diner frem of chicken. This is
so well done at a diner, so well done. If
I do it at home, it's like, yeah, how do
they do with the diner?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Or that's crazy? Now are you?

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm a diehard Turkey club guy, diehard? So it's always
coming with a soup.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay, that's interesting. Are you a soup guy in hot
months during the summertime? No? Okay, really all right? Really
that means you got.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'm not like, I'm not going out of my way
to I don't make a soup. I enjoy making French
onion soup. That's fun to make.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
In the Winner you uh, would you argue chili's kind
of a summer summer It's not a soup, but it's
it's in the family. It's a yeah, weird cousin, Yeah,
weird cousins. It's a neighbor whatever chili is.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, I'm more of a chili guy during football season. Definitely, right,
But man.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I'm thinking of hot dogs. But I'm thinking hot dogs
and chili. That's the summer thing.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Now we're cooking. Maybe now we're cooking right there, cooking?
Are you a cooker? Are you a cooker? You go chef?
Are you in the kitchen?

Speaker 1 (09:22):
If if I'm not cooking, the house doesn't eat.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I make every meal. I love cooking. I love cooking,
all right.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I'm not saying I'm the world's greatest cook, but I
can see a meal and.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Be like, I can make that.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
All right. I need a twenty here because on Monday.
Colvid takes to the timeline and has this unbelievable idea
of you know what, I'm gonna go ahead and stop
eating and I am only going to consume water melon
and that's it. And and for.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
The watermelon of water, watermelon.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
And water, no solid foods, and and I where did
this come from? Why? And how long did it last?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Oh, you're gonna love this.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
The people are gonna love this. I know we're not
talking sports, but who can it.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's watermelon.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
We're talking about the watermelon jam. That's right now.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
So my girlfriend on Sunday, I believe, or Saturday goes,
this woman had watermelon and water for three days. I go,
I could do that. She goes, well, we can do
it Monday because we're doing something on Sunday, or like, okay,
we can do it on Monday. We go and get
like this fifty pound watermelon. It might have been thirty pounds.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I'm a weekly No, I'm not hubble brag.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
And I'm like, this is gonna be a breeze, Like
I can easily get to the day easily.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
So we're like, okay, today we're gonna do it. My
girlfriend is a.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
She's a she's a Oh my god, I can't think
of the word, uh, nurse case manager. So she goes
on appointments and whatnot. She had an appointment. She took
some watermelon in the car. Keep in mind, ladies and
gentlemen listening, my girlfriend doesn't eat breakfast. Her first meal
of the day ranges from noon to two in the afternoon.
She's a two meal day or one and it's dinner.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
She didn't make it to noon. She didn't make it
to noon. She came back from the appointment with Deli supplies.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
She made a sandwich sean because she said her hands
smelled like French fries and she couldn't get over it.
Where the hell did your hand smell like French fries
at a doctor's appointment? Yeah, explain that to me in Jessica,
explain that to me. I was screwed over at noon
thirty Monday. Your boy lasted until six o'clock yesterday, so

(11:34):
thirty something plus hours from Sunday night yesterday dinner time.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
You would have done it till today. I could have
made it till today.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Thank you for throwing around there.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I could have made it to today, but that one to
two o'clock.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yesterday, I was dying.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I was dying, and I went to the store to
get the pizza supplies because I made pizza yesterday homemade,
no no brags here. It looks beautiful, taste and beautiful.
If I didn't get this applies, I could have made
it through. Because after I did my show, my baseball show,
the Pickoff on Betting News, no free at free, at
damn right, I was like, I could do this, and
then I realized, you're about to make the best meal
of your life after not eating for thirty plus hours.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
So I ended it.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
I think I'm gonna do it every Monday. Oh, just
fast every Monday. Because it wasn't that bad. No, I
will say, headache galore yesterday and I don't need caffeine.
I do just like to taste of black coffee. I
guess that's what it's from. But I kind of had
it the night of Monday, and it kind of felt
like that slight hangover headache you get. Yep, I don't
really get hangovers, but I get a headache if I

(12:36):
don't have enough water.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
I was like, this is annoying, but at least I'm
not starving.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
The watermelon challenge on the timeline, I was cracking up.
You're fasting, and I did.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
I considered it fast because I'm basically just drinking sugar.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, it's it. Yeah, I did it once. I did
like two days and you know it wasn't difficult. Uh
what did I do? It was just straight water. I
was doing yeah, water, just faster for two days. But
you're rudd did have the headache. But watermelon is a
little interesting there. I mean, I feel like I could
live off a watermelon for three straight days.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
And this is a coming from a guy who will
eat a meal and be thinking about the next three.
So I'm always thinking about what's next. So I love food,
love making food. Former thick guy was fat in high school.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Now former move guy, former move.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I am a current move guy. I'm trying.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Hey, no, no, the listeners. No, I'm not to take that.
I'm telling seeing you work out, you work out, I'd
be dead.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
No, I'm telling you right now. Oh yes, I'm dripping everywhere.
It's in my eyes. I can't see. I'm telling you.
The moves are there for some reason. It's like I
had somebody say to me the other day, don't you
work out, and I say, yeah, damn it, don't judge me.
Bottom line is my cholesterol is lower than you, all right, Bud. Yeah,
maybe I still got moves and I'm not exactly the

(14:00):
most muscular, but I work out every morning and I
feel good. Okay, that's it. One quick one on watermelon,
real quick. Because we have a gentleman by the name
of Tie. When I first started a couple of years ago,
when I first met him, he attempted to break the
Guinness Book of World Records to eat the most amount
of watermelon in a certain amount of period. Right, So

(14:21):
we set up this stream whole nine unbelievable, So he's
going in. It seemed it was I forget exactly what
the number was, how many pounds it was, but it
seemed like, okay, obtainable. Let's just put it that way
to a point. And then you see in front You're like,
I don't know, and he starts firing it down, firing
it down, firing it down. All of a sudden, it stopped,

(14:42):
and then that thing like the Exorcist on the screen
day it was awesome. It was awesome in the face.
Just crack it up, dude. He did attempt to eat
all that watermelon. Watermelon's tasty, especially this time of year,
and I feel like we could all survive a day
or two just going down on some watermelton. Great stuff there, Colby,

(15:04):
all right, let's keep moving. Casty not Castellanos back in
the lineup tonight. Ranger Suarez, Kolby, This is interesting from
Ranger last seven starts. I want to say, seventh inning
or six innings are more. You know, he is really,
really reliable. Is that how you view Ranger Suarez? Again,
he's on the mountain tonight going up against the Marlins
should be a victory. They have another game in this

(15:26):
series tomorrow. Minus one seventy six favorites here eight and
a half is our total. Six to forty. First pitch
Ranger Day is what we say here in Philadelphia. What
are your thoughts on cold are on Ranger Swires, Kobe, I.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Like the guy.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I don't know too much about his game. I'm not
gonna sit here and act like I know him really well.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
I just know he's.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
A very consistent guy that's been throwing for many years.
I think it's a I think it's a great spot
for the whole team to get back after that lost yesterday.
I don't like Schwarber today, as everyone knows, I love
my muse whoa he it does have a good rating today,
but I don't like the pitch match up with him.
He's like fifty percent, So I'm like, I don't want

(16:03):
to take a chance. So if you want to take
a chance on your favorite thick man, take him, because
I'm not gonna be on him. It might be me
just missing out being a day early, the day after theory.
I liked him yesterday, not today. But Castellanos being back
in the lineup maybe a little morale boost after he's
fired up, at least for being benched.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
He might be fired up. He might be.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Ready to prove everyone wrong that he should never be benched.
And yesterday them losing, maybe he feels good about it.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Maybe six to one plus six hundred. Tickle your your
fancy there to go yard for Casty.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Did anything bad happen? Haha? I hate that. I hate that.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Well, yes, so annoying yesterday, and yes.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
I was gonna send it to you.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
I know what you're gonna say. We don't need to
talk about it. Yeah, oh damn. Put him in the lineup,
put him know it's not funny.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
It's not funny water funny because of everyone, all the
idiots are like, no, no, it's a weird coincidence.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yes, the weirdest.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's the weirdest one of all time.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yes, it is all right, Trey Turner, real quick on this,
because I'll tell you what the other week, three weeks ago,
I was like talking to my buddy, excuse me. It
was Luke Rcaney, who covers a Phillies for us here
on the station, and I brought up, hey man, Francisco
Lindoor MVP, and he was like, you know, the Mets
hate came out, and he's like, come on, stop it.
He's a good player, he's playing well, Mets ore wedding,

(17:30):
blah blah blah, and he made other points about MVP,
and I was like, yeah, I could see that. Yeah,
you're probably right, so don't don't waste your money. At
the end of the day, I do have a Kyle
Schwarber MVP that's probably not gonna cash, but oh, well
made that early at a bar.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
He is playing well.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
He's hitting a better average than we all expected him.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
I thought, if he hit fifty bombs and they were
in first place, and they went the division like I
got a shot, but it's like a breeze. Yeah, do that.
He's halfway there. So the Trey Turner discussion, when it
comes to the I'm like, wait a minute. If I'm
going to praise Lindor three two weeks ago, dude, Trey
Turner deserves the love right now because he's playing better

(18:08):
than Lindor's stats wise and maybe not so much glove wise.
The team is somewhat even as far as the win
loss is concerned. And look, he's just balling out right now.
Trey Turner at the top of the lineup, being shifted
around in that lineup now in the leadoff spot, hitting
two for four last night, had a home run to
night before. So I'm looking at Turner just riding that

(18:29):
hot bat here he's six to one to go yard.
I love the total bases. I'm a total base guy.
Anything for you on Trey Turner? What is your thoughts
out look on him?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
I haven't bet on him this season. I don't remember
the last time I bet on him. I'm hoping he's
back because he's fantastic when he's on fire. We remember
him a couple of years ago being on absolute fire
before the season started with the World Baseball Class.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
That was him, right, yep, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Absolutely on fire. He's great in that lineup. When he's
on fire, everyone around him gets better. It's that top
of the lineup when they're hot. The Phillies are one
of the most fun teams to watch. I really hope
he's fully back because he's one of the most fun.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Guys to watch.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Five to two guy, I didn't I didn't see anything
to like him on today. Nothing grabbed me to even
look at him. But I really hope he's fully back.
But that's gonna be a great fight if it's him and.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Lindora in the NL.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Even though he got hello, yeah, now he's up and up,
up and throwing not all that well, but he is
throwing in imagin Hey.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Somebody had the under the other day.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Tody had the under under on strikeouts one and a half.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Oh for an opener.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Oh, that's my favorite bet for an opener under strikeouts.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Everyone's like, yeah, he's gonna get it. He's a thrown
since October of twenty three.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Colby Kobe Bisou you your pray. Oh that's why my.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Second best and gay percentage of the last fourteen days
your research. Why would the books be giving you plus
money for three strikeouts? They want your money. I'm not
a book guy like that, but when it's like something
that stupid, why would you bet somebody over? You can
bet the one and a half fun you want to
take that sweat, Go right ahead, over two and a half.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Call the number. Call the number. You are out of
your mind. You're already getting the good odds for the
over one and a half. Call the number.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
You think he's gonna have an immaculate inning his first
time back in.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Two years, Yo, bright, twenty eight pitches.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
We've all been there, though I'm not gonna say I've
never been there and fall for something like that. We've
all been there. It's fun, don't get me wrong. Being
on that's fun. But you gotta be comfortable with losing,
and if you are, I'm cool with you betting on that.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Colby m bets Colby m bets on Social's mandatory follow
if you don't already. The other one I would say
on that was I thought they deserved a ton of credit.
Somebody on my timeline was talking about the live wager
in that spot and show hey to lead off the
inning with a strikeout as he did at plus one
sixty five, that was a good bet by whoever had

(20:53):
it on my timeline.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
That was wild. I was like, go figure, he goes,
has no strike outs on the top and then strikes
out the bottom. That's I would have never thought to
bet that. But to the geniuses out there that did,
kudos to you.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, that's exactly what I was saying. Now, let's stay
in that division before we get to the Padres and
Dodgers with the rivalry question, I want to ask you
about the Rafael Devers trade and the fact that he
is now with the San Francisco Giants and got a standing.
Oh had very bond show up?

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Double double standing?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Oh double two for five if there was three excuses,
two for five in a loss. They ended up losing
three to two to the Guardians, but nobody cares about that.
The story is the story. He was two for five
in the DH spot uh and is opening uh a
game for the San Francisco Giants Number one. Your thoughts

(21:43):
on the deal, like, what the hell happened? And of
course San Francisco, Yeah, they've had a great start and
bust a posey. I love when somebody goes for it.
But at the end of the day, what are we
talking about? As far as Devers with the Giants and
that contract, is that gonna work out the long run?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
As a die hard Yankees fan since I was eight
years old.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
And I like the green, I like I'm a yeah,
I like when you change it up. I have a
different color of the.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
So this said, so I have a little thing. It
came with it, and this is why I bought it. It
says I don't watch baseball.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
I just really like this hat. How would I have
to buy? But I loved it.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I loved every bit of it, down to the Red
Sox getting a bag of chips was the most funny
trade I've seen in a long time, maybe as funny
as the Luca Doncis Traine. I also don't like that comparison.
I think it's just lazy. It doesn't make any sense.
Do I have a good, good enough brain? Do I
have a smart enough brain to think of a good

(22:46):
better comparison. No. I even thought about it in the shower,
multiple showers have thought about it.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
I can't think of anything. Raffie's his own guy.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's funny that the Red Sox keep doing this. I
was baffled that it happened after the Yankee series. I
love him, I loved one him in that city, Connect
Jersey Yesterday. That's also my favorite city, Connect Jersey at.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
The Boston Oh No, The Giants, the Giants.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
The Giants, the Giants do one. It's kind of like that.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
It kind of gives like Fresh Prince San Francisco vibes.
I do like the Fenway Green Monster one.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
But that's another thing.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I hate Boston, love the city, love the city, love
the city, but hate the sports teams. I love the
Giants this season. They're so fun to watch. They're not
really a high power team, but him in that lineup
is something they've needed.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
He's gonna be awesome and he seems to be happy.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
The best thing he said in his opening presser was
he'll play anywhere, even first giving the double Birds to Boston,
saying screw you. I'm in a new place and now
I'm happy, which is hysterical. My one friend tried to
argue in, saying maybe he thinks he messed up.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
No way in hell, No way in hell. If anyone
messed up.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
It's the Red Sox for the way they went around
or upsetting the face of their team. You upset a
guy who gave three hundred million?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Did?

Speaker 1 (24:07):
I also yell at Rafael Devers for saying he wouldn't
play first base while he's making money that I could
never imagine even having in my pocket, bank account, insert whatever. Yes,
because get your rear end out there. You can choose
some chod play first base. Get out there.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
But I love it.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
I could root for Raffi and not hate myself, So
it's marvelous.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
I love the trade.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Boston fans not sorry, you can enjoy sucking a little
bit longer.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, look, they were a really hot team. They swept
the Yankees, and of course Yankees are going to a
little bit of a lull right now. We'll talk a
little bit about that in just a second, but bottom
line is that that was a really strange time. Pulled
him off a flight, comes back like just they said, yeah,
yeah they did. Look looking at the City Connect Jersey
for the San Francisco Giants. Not sure if I have

(24:57):
seen these, I think I know I have, but the
they are sharp, they are We got to do a
City Connect ranking. Are these top dogs?

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Nice?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Are these number one.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
I hate myself for saying this. I just love green
so the Red Sox green ones. Yeah, they're up there
for me. Do you like some friends say he'd buy
them for him, he'd buy one for me. I said,
you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Do you like the Phillies City Connectors He's on Friday Night?
When they wear there, it's like electric, It's like the
blue tip of the cap. To Ben Franklin, I assume
I don't know, you.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Know, I can't even pick, so I'm gonna say.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
No, okay, yeah exactly.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
It's like I hate the Rockies new ones.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
You go from that nice white and green to that
what you went to? Superman ice cream?

Speaker 3 (25:41):
What is that? It's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Rocky's hottest team in the league right now?

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, yeah, the most fun team to watch in baseball.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Watch out, Get your World Series tickets ready?

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah? Do that? All right, Let's talk a little bit
about the fireworks in LA last night. You know what,
you got my attention. Just like the w NBA with
the scrap that they had last night. It's good for business.
You're plugging show, hey and tattis. Oh now we're cooking
and somebody got hit the night before as well. Again,
this was a discussion that was brought up by the

(26:12):
manager for the for the Padres when he said, look,
we are the best rivalry in baseball right now, two
teams and that's fine. He could say what he wants.
I just you know, as a Yankees fan, will anything
ever overtake Yankee socks? Are they close? And if we
get more of what we saw last night between those
two teams, do you think that's enough to catapult them
into that discussion? Is the number one rivalry in baseball now?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I grew up having a lot of hatred for Boston sports.
I still have it, but I've learned to kind of
appreciate watching the Red Sox in the last maybe we'll
just say this season. This season, I think they're enjoyable
to watch. They have fun talent to Ram's awesome to watch,
cro Chase awesome to watch. It's not the same Yankees
Red Sox as it was in the two thousands. Like

(26:59):
as a kid, I would I could burn if I
had a lighter, I would burn anything Red Sox. I
hated the Red Sox. I hated Padroya, I hated Ortiz,
I hated Manny Ramirez, you ask me now, Pedroit, that
boy was scrappy. He was the most annoying little man.
But he was so looking back, he was unbelievable, never

(27:22):
struck out, put the ball in play like eighty percent
of the time, if not higher.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Nothing compares to that.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Even even go back to when it was Tyler Austin
where he got plumped by uh Joe Kelly, Like, that's
the last time I feel like that rivalry really existed,
and since then it doesn't really matter. And someone's if
you're a Yankees fan, some would say, well, what about
the Astros.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
You never beat him, Yeah, you never beat them.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's not a rivalry, that's a rear end kicking. You
got a kid of wood bass opening on you every
time you played him.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
It was embarrassing. The this is beautiful.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
I'm glad you brought this up because when they were
in Sanford the FISCO, when they were in San Diego,
he felt like it was October.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
It was jam packed.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Ye, the stadium was rocking. This is the first game
of a series, and it felt like Game seven of
the nlds CS. Excuse me, it just felt like it mattered,
which sometimes you don't get.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
On hundred and sixty two games. Sometimes those games will matter.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
I know, basic baseball fans like, yeah, this game, it
don't matter.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
It felt like it mattered. I want that. I want
to feel that.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
That's awesome if the Yankees and Red Sox can pull
that back, I feel like I'm eight years old again.
But it's great for the game. You mentioned it, same
with a WNBA. That's great for the game. The Moore
Ryeball is the better. And we know baseball is lazy
as hell when it comes to get get the younger audience,
which it's up. I saw that the numbers are up.
The younger audiences are watching.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Baseball and gets people like me man fired up about
the ball and some fat.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Out of applause, Kobe bringing it as always of course
the juice.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
I gotta say this because I was yelling.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I saw your last hit with your guest, mister Fisher,
right Fisher, Yeah, Kyle, Yeah, when.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
He started yelling, you got it out of him.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
I'm like, yeah, the only time yelling and putting a
point across works on the radio.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
If it's an argument. Yeah, you sound like the dummy.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, yes, I said, sell it to me, man, sell
it to me, like I'm dying for something new in
the AFC, Please bring it to me. And he's like,
all right, let me go ahead, and he did.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
So it's the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
You're like, come on, man, that's exactly you know talking
about here. Colby got a feeter of the mind. All right,
Padres and Dodgers tonight, Dodgers. Pretty big favor here of
minus two seventeen plus one plus one seventy five for
the Padres game in La ten ten first pitch. You
know you brought up that early series. You know what
series got me going, got the juices going. I believe

(29:55):
it was the Diamondbacks at the Bronx in early this season.
A Grand Slam in that game. Late in the game, I.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Was warez, yeah, I had this.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Home run this season.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, so that was that was a great series.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
I was the only Yankees fan happy that a grand
slam in.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
That's hysterical. Yeah, that that series. That game had me going.
And I'm like, wait a minute, looking at my calendar
on my phone, I'm like, April eighth, Like they.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Pulled up, you pulled up that uh that video of us.
It's April.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
It's yeah, it's it's April. Come on, pipe down. It's relaxed.
Brace It's only April, all right.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
UH.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Some other odds and before you get out of here
real quick, as far as the Rookie of the Year
awards are concerned, I know that there's a lot of
conversation about some of these guys that are being brought
up and some late arrivals. There was a new poll
that was just released, uh at Major League Baseball. First
of all, are we talking about two favorites that are
going to run away with that award at this point

(30:52):
in time? From the A L N the N L
in your mind, Colby Jacob Wilson is a pretty pretty
big favorite at minus nine hundred in the American League.
Drake Balwin plus two point fifty not running away with
it at all, short stuff for the Atlanta Braves at
this point in time. Is there anybody that just got
the call up that you have your eyes on that
potentially could be a name that could win this award

(31:13):
after it's all said and done this year.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
You mentioned this when I what I was asking you
what we're gonna talk about, and I was looking at
the odds because I haven't really looked at the Rookie
of the year odds and somebody who I love watching
going back to the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Has sunk Kim eighteen to one.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Is that I know he's in the nice spot and
maybe he gets overlooked because he's on a monster team.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
He is mister consistent.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
In thirty games, he's batting three eighty two with a
nine to sixty nine ops.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
He's so fun to watch and they have to throw
to him.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Show he's coming up.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
You can't walk him.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
You gotta throw to him, which is honestly extremely dangerous
because he's a very good player, and eighteen to one
seems like a good number.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
He's very fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
If you've never heard of him, never seen him, go
watch because right afterwards you get to see a show.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Hey, so it's back to back hashtag fun.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
And I was baffled that he was eighteen to one
and he's played a ton of games.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
You mentioned to.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Me your boy, mister Mickey, who's twenty five to one.
And I think it's tough with a pitcher because the
sample size is so small and it can change so quickly,
Like he's only had four starts, I believe, and he's
only but he's only given up five runs. He's played
the Marlins, Cubs, and Blue Jays and the Pirates. Correct,

(32:31):
it's tough to judge, you know what I mean, four
games sample size. They really don't have much of a
scouting report on him. The Cubs lit them up, three
home runs, three runs. Everywhere else he's kind of played
dogwater teams, Marlins.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
The Rats.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
I know you like the Rats, the poop games. I
know you guys like them, the Rats. The blue Jays
are now getting good. They're getting fun.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
I think if you're telling me right now, I have
to bet somebody in the NL, it's gonna be Kim
because he's very consistent. He's almost batting four hundred and
I don't you think he's just overlooked, which I really
hope people start talking about him because he's a very
fun player to watch.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, sixteen to one right now on draftings sportsbooks. To
get a little piece of that, I will for some
some kolbe love here on a daily ticket. I will
get that ticket as soon as we are done here,
so I have a little something to cheer for. As
far as Rookie of the Year is concerned, I agree
with mccabel. He's been awesome. I guess he can get
in the conversation if it's August and he's still doing

(33:30):
what he's been doing. Sure, but it's tough. It's a tough,
tough award to win. Drake Baldwin, though not sold on
him with the Braves. Huh uh.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
My friend, my friend Jacobson has a million Micah.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
What the hell? Where is one? In my notes?

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Matt Shaw Cubs fan Cubs Jacason has a million tickets
on Matt Shaw to win NL Rookie of the Year.
He does not like Baldwin, but they're both having terrible Junes.
They're bad under two hundred, both of them. So okay,
let's expect.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
I don't really want to pay for anyone yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Under ten to one right now unless I have the
utmost confidence in the world, which I would already be
selling you that if I had.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
One, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
But I will give you this. I locked in your uh,
your most consistent picture to when Sally Young at twelve
to one.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Hey, great bet, great bet, Yeah, Zach, great bet. Unbelievable number.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
He only misses when he's having.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
A child, which is a lot. On the guy, it's
a lot. He's probably gonna have two more this year,
but you never know.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Oh it's a couple of days off, he's got PTO.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
And then he comes back on Father's Day and his
lights out. It was unbelievable. This guy that a.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Terrible Sunday, but he killed it. And I was like,
that's a W. That's a W.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
We are we are entertaining these dumb you know, summer
days with list right now. You know how it works,
and people are running around with a name. Your top
five top ten players in Philadelphia sports currently Zach Wheelers
in my top five. He's you know, it's Harper. Of course,
you got a super Bowl winning quarterback of Jay and Hurts.
Saquon Barkley had a great season. You know, you want
to show some love to some other teams with Joel Embiid.

(35:09):
I get it, he's not playing, but still I love Jojoe.
But Zack Wheeler's got to be on that list. He's
top five. He is a bona fide number one, a
guy that will put an end to any losing streaks
and it's just awesome to watch. Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Same amount of quality starts as schemes. He just needs
to get that eer down. I think I think the
race is closer than the odds indicate twelve to one.
When schemes is what minus something, he's like minus one
fifty two hundred range or even money.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Whatever he is, you can get it right now now.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
It's not that far apart in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Plus eleven hundred for Zach Wheeler. Still still and it's
it's of course because of Schemes and he's minus three sixty.
But I'm right there with you, Yeah there, yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
And it's it's June.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
It's June.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
It's not a rap. If anything's a wrap, it's the
al MVP. Other than that, it's not.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
And to the people listening, since I mentioned that, if
you think Aaron Judges do for an inch, you take
cal Raley today, you take cal Raley right now?

Speaker 2 (36:03):
All right, I won't.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
I won't, My Lord and Savior. Aaron Judge would never
say that, do that to that man, would never.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
All right. You know what, I love Kolby obviously because
he hops on this show and brings the juice, brings
the energy like nobody else. But he also has another
his show coming up here in about fifteen minutes, so
we went extended time. I appreciate that we'll get you
at her out of here on this one, perfect segue.
Good bye as cal Raley. That was the call for
cal Rawley going yard there. I'm not trying to get

(36:32):
ready to just yet, but do you have anybody right
now in your card that will be hitting a bomb
this evening? So this way we can be watching the
Nuclert videos coming on our timelines later together.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
I knew you would ask, and I scrolled right down
to my.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Notes just for you. Oh, I love it. And you've
just talked about him.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
We just talked about him, Aaron Judge, Oh Judge, going on?

Speaker 2 (36:55):
But not one?

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Two? Good one? We're going with two?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Whoa.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
I know they're in a slump. They had a player's.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Only meeting by Judge, really, and that team lives and
dies on the captain's shoulders. You could tell me that
team has gone a week without scoring a run. This
guy has got to put his mouth were as bad
as and start a rally with this team, and he
starts with a home run.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Do I have the one? Yes? I also have his
basis at minus one fifteen.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
I'm not gonna pronounce the angel starters last name, because
good lord, that is a mouthful. Wow.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
But we gotta talk about it. I got the whole
notes rutting up right now.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Has an elite rating and one hundred elite ratings goes
over his bass fifty eight percent.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Of the time at home. This is at home.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Fight didn't mentioned records a home run thirty four percent
of the time. Judge has a run value of eleven
or greater versus sixty six percent of Jack coach not
saying the rest of the name pitches average run value
against his entire hour Sen is a plus eighty five.
Jack has an ERA on the road of five eighty
five two eighty eight. Opponent batting average overall this season

(38:07):
five point fifty three ERA, one fifty nine whip allowing
five point seven hits one point three extra base hits
per game. Fourth worst pitcher on the day, Corey in
the batters hyphen box four average hit or matchup wOBA,
ISO K percentage and ground ball percentage. We want that
we want Line drives nothing on the ground. He's forty
eight percent sinkers. Judge this season is batting five five

(38:28):
fifty eight against sinkers eight thirty seven, slugging percentage six
twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
wOBA has not gone over his bases since Friday.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
In this life, Sean, we are due for nothing except
for Judge to get his wrun in action tonight, Baby,
he's leaving the yard not what not goods twice. We're
not gonna go over to excuse me, got way ahead
of myself eighteen to one.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I think you have five dollars to burn.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
You put it on.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Two and then you put whatever you want and everything else.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
You bet responsibly, however, but minus one fifteen for his
basis tonight is insane. Cal Raley just faced mister jack
not pronouncing his last name. I'm not gonna butcher that
because we already bushered Castellanos.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
In my last name.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Cal Rally was minus one ten plus two ten home
run against him when he hit two. He only hit
one off of them. But you got that's insane. We're
starting to respect cal Moore. But why is Judge bases
minus one fifteen? I know the weather's met in the Bronx.
Weather doesn't bother me. If they're playing, there's a chance,
and that's all I care about. If you're wondering hate
is Kobe looking into the weather?

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Never?

Speaker 1 (39:32):
I don't care about the weather because if there's bad
weather they're not playing, and if there's okay weather they're playing.
I want to be in on the action.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
If I like, somebody hit a home run. You've never
seen a home run in the rain before.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Not one, but two, two, eighteen to one, oh no four,
Kobe Marsh you ol ladies and gentlemen, you can buy him.
Colby im bets, he's coming up next and his timeline
over at your betting news with Shaggy bets. Let's go

(40:09):
bringing the juice like nobody's business. Aaron, Judge, get your
rear at that shag Mate to Diggars, you to man Colby,
always a pleasure, sir. There will be a bunch of
videos in the timeline from this hit. Can't thank you enough.
Good luck on those plays and uh, as always, I
salute you, sir, thank you, You're the best.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
I appreciate you as always.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Go there he is. He is unbelievable, taking us out
here in the five o'clock hour. What a old baseball tonight.
Hopefully that doesn't get me dinged by YouTube. So much
going on in the world of baseball. Everybody's playing, everybody's
in action. We even having a live game going off
right now. Unbelievable. All right, here's the deal. Great stuff

(40:56):
from Kolbe there. I gotta get my judge ticket. I'm
taking my Kim of the Year approach to as well.
Let's get some juice on that one. All right, it's
sixteen to one right now for Rookie of the Year.
Those are two plays that I'm riding Colby. As far
as tonight's games are concerned. Other than that, we do
have the Phillies going off, and we do look at

(41:16):
Ranger Suarez this evening. We were talking about this a
little earlier today with Kyle Fisher. Great job by him
joining us a little earlier as well. For Ranger Suarez.
You know he's going into the sixth or the seventh inning,
five and a half strikeouts at plus one twenty. You're
damn right. We're on that one. Hopefully he can get
the six and cash us that ticket as well. Great

(41:37):
stuff from Colby, Great stuff from Kyle Fisher. The programs
roll on here as far as the Gambler is concerned.
Coming up at six o'clock, you're gonna hear swing it
and ding it. A fantastic listen on all things PGA
Tour and Philadelphia golf and folks, if you watched last night,
there was a great show on the Cobbs Creek Foundation.

(41:59):
There's a whole new deal going on up there at
Cobbs Creek, one of the oldest golf courses here in Philadelphia.
