Hispanic Heritage Month. Monsybon on yours, ball on yours, set
(01:34):
the music, take you over about on.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Your Oh that was nice and in n.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You're hanging out with us and we reap all the benefits.
Of course, we got super producer Danny Gadnesday Iowa Sam
always bringing the fun and of course spots on the
videos with Midweek Major Today the biggest stories in the
world of sports and pop culture. We're gonna talk a
little more Jackson, some NFL, maybe some Aaron Rodgers. We
(02:02):
got Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. But first and first mostly,
I hope you had a Red Sox, Tigers, Cubs, Dodgers
sort of night last night. Well, I mean, how about
a Guardian's type of day. That's old news, buddy boy.
That series is tied up one one. Good for that,
and the Padres they're about to tie this series up
if all stays according to what's doing right now three
(02:23):
nothing pods YEA. So I hope, I hope it goes
further for them for the Yankees. For the fun of baseball,
I think we're gonna say, I think we're gonna see
three game threes. I think the Dodgers just out power.
That would be dope the Reds. I think that's the
only sweep you'll see. And it just proves that at
least the Mets would have been a more formidable opponent,
even though the Mets thing too. It's just like this
(02:45):
is just a warm up for you guys, isn't it wild?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Though that so far in this current format, teams are
eighteen of twenty if they win the first game.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Real.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Oh yeah, I think it's like or something ridiculous. Yeah,
it's it's tough, but hey, it's October baseball. You know
that eighteen out of twenty is ninety percent. Yeah, you said,
I think it's like that. He said, that's exactly nine
out of ten times eighteen out of twenty. There you haven't,
thank you, John rich Davis. Well, I mean I do
have my TI eighty two on a mental mathematicians. I
(03:14):
do have my mister professor calculator.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So I hope your team is winning. I hope you're
enjoying the Ghost season postseason as it officially begins. It's
the first of the month. The legend of the rent
is way past due. It's time to buy some Halloween candy,
and it's time to get ready for some pen season baseball.
Don't yawn in October. Why you know what happens when
you yawn in October? Right? No, tell us. Let's just
(03:40):
say a ghost decides to anyway have its way with you,
so hey enjoy October. No what happens during Hispanic Heritage month? Right,
because it's another fifteen days every time you go on,
bad Bunny has his way with you. I do love
how by the way, you're still about Bad Bunny. I
(04:01):
just want to make this point because I haven't been
here the past few days. If you're not happy about
Bad Bunny, that's okay. It doesn't make you racist. It
could make you just a rock fan, that's all it
could make you. I'm just a rock fan. Could make
you just a fan of hip hop or pop or
something else, but doesn't mean you.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
But we've also seen some racist people.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, oh, you could be racist, and
I'm not hating. I'm just stating it doesn't mean you
wear oak Lee's and Trucker hats and you're a Karen
or a Darren. Yeah, it could just mean yeah, Metallica
would have been cool. And I'm not the biggest fan.
And that's okay because I understand what the NFL is doing. Again,
though it is very extreme. We talked about it the
other day, but it is extreme. Though. You're right that
(04:39):
if you insinuate that you don't like the bad Bunny choice,
there is almost like a weird like, what are you racist?
That's not I just don't like you know what I mean,
I'm not It's not my thing. I'm here to say that.
Steve Cavino. I'm always stating this because I'm half Mexican, right,
so that's hispanic. Last I heard, I'm not happy about
the choice, but I'm not mad about it either. Is
he worthy of it? Absolutely, we've been hearing about. Hey, newsflash,
(05:04):
he performed with jaylo and Shakira. He's already done this
super Bowl halftime, so he's been famous internationally known thro
rock the microphone for years. And by the way, if
you're mad about anything regarding a halftime show, get a
life mad about it your measures. Imagine Matzi, Imagine like
you have so little going on your personal life, professional life, marriage, dating, kids, work,
(05:26):
that that you're imagine being genuinely like mad about it,
like rock must.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Be nice, must be nice if that is what you're
mad about.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Bum Those are good, easy problems to have.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So I'm not hating. I'm just stating that bad movie.
It doesn't make you a racist. You could just simply
be a rock fan like I am. And I'm not
hating on on bad money. I hope he has a
great performance, and I hope NFL reaches their their mission
of gaining more international fans. That's clearly what's going on,
and that's okay, and it was perfectly stated rich by
(05:59):
you in my absence. But I did want to make
it clear that not everybody's a racist because they're not
pumped about it, like I said the other day. Like
I said the other day, it's uh, I'm just really
excited happy Gilmore's Caddy has come a long way. Yes, absolutely,
I mean great for him. I know we're having fun
talking about bet Buddy and other things, but can we
talk about how your Yankees blew it yesterday? I listen.
(06:22):
I know I owe you a ton of money because
your Yankees. There was so much more dominant than the
Mets this year. Put that aside. I'm not rooting against
your Yanks, but last night Max Freed's rolling. He's rolling
like Limp is getting nearly two thousands. I'm going to
present a few things and then I'm going to hand
it over to the number one Yankee fan. I know,
but I have a few questions. I just want to
get out. Why take out Max Freed? And when I
(06:45):
hear you wait, I said, let me prose my questions,
I'm gonna forget them all you like my kids, can
I mister one at a time. I just want you
to be able to because I think I can say
this because Aaron Boone doesn't wear the nuts. That's why. Okay,
and I like Aaron Boone. I'm not an Aaron Boone hater.
There's a lot of people, a lot of Yankee fans
that love to trash Aaron Boone. I like the guy.
I'm not one of them, but he's not in charge analytics.
(07:08):
That's why it's the postseason. So I'm not saying there's
a time where you do push your guys, and it's
the postseason, like the whole like let's hold back. Holding back,
that's that's not what postseason baseball or any sport is about. Like,
that's it's the postseason. Yeah, it's a three game series.
No less, you gotta go all out, Yankees. I mean,
(07:29):
he was at one hundred and two pitches, But since
when is a hundred pitches like this? Like a guy
will uh you know, like he's like it's a gremlin
after midnight. Don't feed it after midnight. If Max Freed
is cruising pitch, kun is relative? Right? Is it a
laboring one hundred and two pitches or is he cruising
one hundred and two pitches? To me, it felt like
he was cruising one hundred and two pitch. Say you
(07:51):
let him get to a point where he's in a jam.
And by the way, it was only like a decade
ago where one hundred pitches was what you let a
guy hit when he was coming off of a rehab
start or something. One hundred pitches went from that's the
number you don't want to push to to your ace's
playoff limit. Yeah, Alex Korra pushed it to the limit
(08:12):
and it made all the difference. I don't how any
chances when your dude is in a zone like that.
Didn't look like he was laboring a little bit in
the past few winnings. Yes, but I think you let
him finish out that inning. Winners know how to finish. Yeah,
Max Freed, I think his winner. So let me ask
you this while he was asked at the end of
the game, like did you still have gas in the tank?
And he said yes, So that's all I need to know.
(08:33):
What about you left him in? What about on the
flippy dip of it? Yeah? I said, flippy dip. Well,
that's the proper sports term, I think, Yeah, on the
flippy dip of bit Crochet one hundred and seventeen pitches,
and isn't the fun fact his one hundred and seventeenth
pitch I called the Sergio flippy dip. It's isn't That
was his fastest pitch. So Crochet was dealing and they
(08:55):
left him in to get through seven and two thirds.
So that right there is the differ. Sorry question number
two for you, mister Yankees fans, Well let me answer
number one. Yeah, analytics Aaron Boone just playing it safe
thinking that Freed was laboring, but really Freed had gas
in the tank. You let him get to a point
where he needed some relief. I don't think he needed
(09:16):
it at that point, So that's the answer number one.
Question two was Aaron Judge, you know, the MVP runner up,
in my opinion, was he not moving fast to that
ball in a non hustle move or is he just
not there? Is he just physically really not ready arm
(09:39):
legs everything like he looked like he did. Ley dallied
to that base hit and the Red Sox leg out
a double when that was that was a single. That
was a single the right field. It was a hustle play.
It was a smart play knowing that Aaron Judge can't
throw the way he used to because he's coming off
an injury. He threw that ball back seventy three miles
per hour. If he had thrown it eighty three miles
(10:00):
like he did previously, just ten miles hour more, he
would have been out a second. But again, it wasn't
a matter of lollly gagon well. Remember, it was a
matter of just not having that gun and the Red
Sox seizing the moment and taking advantage. I get props
to the Red Sox for playing to their advantages. Monsey
Danny G. Did it feel like it was a little
lollygagon not just to throw, like just getting to the
(10:22):
ball like you know it did.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
But I I understand what Covino is saying.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It's more like we know he can do.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It, so it's hard to believe that he was just lollygagging.
I think it has more to do with he can't
do it, and he made them right the smart play.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And what did your Dodger say in the postseason last year?
We're going to expose the Yankees and their lack of
fundamentals and hustle at times. Right, it was about putting
the ball in playing and them beat themselves.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's a lot about that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now the last question, now, this is the most important one.
I listen to you talk about the Yankees every day
than on the air. I mean, Cavino's the most die
hard guy watches one hundred and sixty two games. He
could be out to a nice dinner with his girlfriend
and he's got his phone watching the Yankees. You know,
in June game seventy something, it's my only joy. Rich Well,
(11:13):
I hope your joy extends me on today. You talked
last week, Danny G. Do you remember Cavino saying, bro,
impact player, I'm gonna call it now, Yo Ben a
Ros Ben A Ros, Ben Rice Atoos, and you're doing
your little scoop and ball thing, Yo, not in the
starting lineup and laffing because you were all about Yo
(11:34):
Ben Aros, Ben Ros Rice, the Yankees and a guy
that didn't even want to show his face to the
reporters after the game because he was probably aggravated. You know,
a thirty thirty guy. You leave a thirty thirty star
star out of the lineup. Where was Jazz Chisholm Stars?
Where was Ben Rice? I asked, because talking about getting
(11:56):
weight too cute? Yeah, I wrote it down here Yankees
getting cute. See. I know Amid Rosario because he was
a met. I know he went out to play for
the Guardians. Maybe even the National beat it with him.
So Rosario. When I saw him in the box score,
I was like, oh, am I looking at the right game. Oh,
simple answer. He had thirty eight bats for the Yankees
this year and you put him in Game one of
(12:17):
the wild Card What are you doing? Aeron? Simple answer?
Not the right answer. I don't agree with it, but
I can answer the question. Now to back up Rich's point.
The Yankees benched fifty seven home runs and one hundred
and forty five RBI by leaving Chisholm and Rice out
of the lineup. How do you do that in a
three game series? The answer is simple, analytics. You're letting
(12:40):
nerds ruin baseball. Danny, you got because the lefty Crochet
is a dominant, dominant lefty pitcher, so they were going
lefty righty matchup. So the Yankees were stacking their right
handed bats and taking Jazz, Chisholm and Ben Rice out
of the lineup as a result. So that's really it.
That really answers the question, because even I'm scratching my noggin.
Rosario barely started a game for the Yankees all season,
(13:01):
but he's there because he's a right handed hitter in
that moment, and he's not a bad defensive replacement. Sonny,
you're lucky that the Dodgers are facing a righty tonight,
because if you're facing a lefty, you might want to
sit Otani right. Maybe fact, but how do you expect
to win with two of your biggest bats out of
the lineup.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
It's a Travis No, You're right, former Yankee Clint Frasier
tweeted this, leave it up to the dorks to f
he put the whole work the game up. Just use
your eyes and make a lineup with your gut. Ben
Rice and Gastism are too good to sit out a
must win playoff game.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And I couldn't agree more. And here's why analytics don't
work well. Two reasons. It's an obvious one, but I'll
give Big Mike the credit because he did point this out. Mike,
who runs this place, He has wisdom. Man. We'll discuss
that later.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Never heard of them.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
When dealing with analytics. They don't work in a three
game playoff because that's the average of one hundred and
sixty two game season, right, He's not gonna work in
that little series. You think Big Mike came up with
this thought. No, I'm just given point number one. Point
number two. Analytics don't cover in tangibles. Do they have
(14:13):
it in the moment? Are they in a good zone?
And that's why you put Weaver in there and he
blows it. They just don't know that they's just not
in the moment right now, and that do they have
a hot bat? Are they coming out with their last
couple appearances, they are struggling in these type of pressure moments.
It doesn't cover the human element and that's what's ruining
the game. And that's why Boone is making these decisions.
(14:34):
And it's not just Boone, it's your stupid Mets, and
it's your Dodgers too, Danny Gene. You know it, And
that's your problem with Dave Roberts. Yeah, yeah, except you
know the players step up now, am my man? Aaron Boone? Yes,
do I hate the Yankees? Yes? Well I love them
after today, I hope so. But the truth is it's
both to blame. And when I say both to blame,
(14:54):
I mean Aaron Boone in a stupid analytics I think
he blew the game by taking Freed out and having
that weak ass lineup in there and not making certain
moves when I thought they should have been made. I
thought you should pinch run Goldschmidt in the night, to
be honest, when you had the Mingas still on the
benchmid who has cinder blocks your feet exactly like, And
I get that run really didn't matter, but put some
pressure on that sweaty a hole Chapman who I can't
(15:17):
stand and Bregman in his stupid face. I hate the
Red Sox huh. So I think Boone blew it, but
I also think that the bullpen and Big G blew it.
Don't blow it, Boom, Yeah, don't blow it? Man, Who
need to give you the boring answer like, hey man,
you blame the players or you blame the manager. It's both.
Boone made the moves and they didn't come through, So yeah,
(15:37):
Weaver stunk it up. Gian Carlos Stanton was in a
big moment and the biggest heartbreak of the night is
you have the bases loaded with no outs and you
can't push one run across as disgusting unless they change
it up quick, They're going home tonight. So I wanted
to vomit last night. That's really it. I get so
upset about it. But it wasn't just about the Yankees.
(15:57):
But everyone's talking about analytics today and it really is
what's ruining in the game, and last night was a
classic example of that. I mean, ruining the game is extreme,
ruining these macros. It is it's the micro versus the macro.
And when I say micro, and i't mean your favorite
dirty jobs guy. I love Mike and I'm not talking
about micro I'm not talking about micros in spots talking
about his macros and micros and his diet. What about
(16:18):
my my pet crow micro? I said this joke like
a week.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Sam play on your shelf.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He don't.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I applaud the fact that he told that pantroke twice.
He's like a stand up comic that he just said.
He's like, oh, that didn't work at chuckles, let me
try it at a laughers down the block.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
So let me try it on a radio network.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah. Yeah, we only have three hundred and fifty affiliates.
So I look at it like analytics don't work in
the play off. Oh yeah, over one hundred and sixty
two games, analytics will work, right, But that's the big picture.
That's the macro in the micro. When you're talking about
a three game series, he knows, right, who's swinging a
hot bat, who's called out of the bullpen, where's their
(17:03):
head in these moments? You know, there's always a guy
like Volpi for example. I guarantee you analytics would have
said sit this guy out of the game. But he's
great in the playoffs, and he came in big yesterday
home run another single when it mattered, like who makes
that call? By the way, And I asked that because
even though my mets have nothing to do right now,
because they're irrelevant, a lot of people are speculating Carlos
(17:25):
Mendoza was not fired because he wasn't even the guy
really making decisions. So how do you fire a guy
that wasn't even making the lineup? Do you think that
it's the Revenge of the Nerds? Do you think it's uh,
Do you think it's your boy, Aaron Boone? Or do
you think Cashman is making the phone call before the
game and it's a team of goobers? You think Steinberner's
(17:45):
and Cashman and everyone's calling and saying we talked to
the nerds, Aaron, Yes, what did they say? What was
the name of that band that they had? And Revenge
of the Nerds with that corny synthesizer just song? Did
they have electric violin? They didn't have a name though
they didn't have a Yeah, they call him up and
they're like, here's what we think you should do based
on the statistics, and that's why you get the results
(18:09):
that you got. If Aaron Boone would just take a stand,
I don't believe he did in that moment. I believe
that Freed had more in him. I think you let
him finish out that inning. Then you start the next
inning with Weaver. You might have a different story. But
here's the thing. It's a bunch of woodves could have
should work. But that's what sucks about I just think
(18:33):
it's it's wild. But you don't sit Jazz and and
and Rice. And that's why Jazz ignored the media yesterday
and it was a bad look. And Boone responded to that.
He said, yeah, I saw it. But all I need
for him to do is kick some masks today. And yeah,
this is what they do, hey nerds. Yes, this is it.
This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you. This is
what they're doing right now. Calculating.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Oh, it says here. Then he says, play Austin Wells
against hey nerds.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
But uh I met Rosarios only have thirty at bets
for the Yankees.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Oh you gotta go righty lefty matchup, it says here
in the analytics, Brazario is much better against the left
handed pitcher.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, but Rosario hasn't played at all this year. Ben here, Yes,
that's why it sucks. That's why you're not using your
gun and your instinct and that's ruining the game. And
I hate to sound cliche because I know I'm not
the first guy to say that, but yesterday was the
prime example of what we're talking about. If you were
sitting there wondering why that made no sense, that's why. Yeah, Hey,
(19:36):
let me ask Monty and Danny g who I know
we're watching their Dodgers last night, Dodgers who are just
outclassing the Reds one hundred percent. But was there a
party that's like, while we did score ten runs and
this team is stacked and they're a while they're a
world series favorite, I'm sure, is there a party that's like, well,
that bullpen's not gonna fly against the Phillies or the
Brewers or the Yankees or the Red Sox, Like yeah,
(19:58):
I think you know, you don't even have to it's
to me, but but I'd only imagine, like, who's the
guy you bring it all the time? Hold on, don't
tell me, I gotta, I gotta, you gotta call. It's
a guy that I'm always like, why do they keep
bringing this guy in? Because I don't watch the Dodgers
the way you guys, do you.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Forgot about him when he had to turn around and
go back to the bullpen?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Remember Ves, Yes, I knew it was going to Why
do you guys love VESSI? Why is Dave?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Why do you guys keep going to VESSI? He's inconsistent.
There's been times where he'll close games out or at
least still set it up very nicely.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
They make that phone call to those nerds again, and
they go back to the control room and they're listening
to that music, and I like it says here, vessis.
I mean absolutely, his whip is under one and is
the r A was three? But I just feel like VESSI,
in key spots, there are guys like there are inning eaters,
and there's guys that in key spots.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
There have been bigger culprits in the Dodgers bullpen.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
There was a point where it was going on. The
game was never in danger, but there was a point
where I'm like, well, the Reds were a grand Slam
away from being you know.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
The Tye run on that.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, you know you know why I feeling that because
Roberts was just wanting to eat those innings up. He
didn't want to he didn't want to was either you
saw right, and Dodger fans were like, just just put
it in first, but they didn't want to do that.
They wanted to try to eat up some of those innings,
and it was the.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Right move because ultimately they won. Is moving forward, you're
going to use your key guys, and actually some of
your starters will move to the pen in those long
relief situations. But when you're beating the lowly Reds, who
I can't make fun of because they're better than my
lowly or Mets, I think it's kind of nice to
see the Reds in the playoffs. It is.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I'm not just happy to be there.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
No, I don't think it's Terry fran Cone is a
g But the Red stink the Red.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
They're not that they.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Deserve to be there.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
If your Mets were a dumpster fire, I would say
the same thing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Actually, they deserve to be there.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
They got they got there, and yeah, your Mets should
have been there.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm not saying the Mets should be there. They blew it,
but I'm saying any team that's eighty three and seventy nine,
four games over five hundred after one hundred and sixty
two doesn't really deserve to move on in any level.
This is bad, This is rash charity they are they
are there because they had that record, like they did
it sort of some sort of like sympathy given.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That was a Diamondbacks record was a year that they want.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You ever see the You ever see the movie? I
believe it's grown Ups or Grown Ups two and there's
like a water park scene. It's like two hotties and
bikinis and like one nerd girl, and people use it
as a meme. No, weren't they. I know you're talking
about with the daughter. What is it the daughters like
someone had someone in Grown Ups has like three daughters
and two or smoke shows and ones like a nerd. Yeah,
that to me, like that's's character Rob Schneider. He has
(22:47):
two hot daughters and one like yeah, sweet Robbie Schneider.
Well if that meme, which we've all seen, it's like
Phillies Dodgers and then the nerdy like unworthy daughter is
the red What about the two dragons that look all
fierce and then there's like the weird looking one that's
like got the weird You ever see the super face?
They they have all these memes. You ever see the
one that's like a fitness competition, it's like ripped oiled
(23:08):
up like honky dudes, and one like out with a
dad bod. Oh you mean you're your phone wallpaper? No,
my last pool party. Yeah, no, I don't know. I mean, look,
that was another weird game of analytics. And I hate
to bore you with that word in this conversation, but
it's a matter of here's what's ruining baseball, even though
it's very close, very tight, and very exciting at the
(23:30):
same time, I don't think anything's ruining it. I think
analy analytics are ruining the game because you're losing that
gut feeling, that gut move, the manager doing his job.
You're leaving it to the nerds. It's not helping the game.
Nerds don't belong there in this situation, not in these
small time three game series that we're seeing. But it's
also a matter of players not coming through. So yes,
(23:53):
both could be true. Analytics suck and certain players suck
in big moments. And we'll see if it happens any
different in a half hour from now. For the New
York Yankees, let's hope so well, it looks like right now,
the Padres are in the leads. It looks like Baseball's
giving us exactly what we want because we're looking at
the first two series. Are going to Game three's tomorrow, unless,
(24:15):
of course, the Cubbies have a comeback over the last
seven outs of the game. But right now, Dylan see started,
it came out early. I don't know if they're trying
to save him for an emergency situation. He through sixty
something pictures. So Padres Cubbies likely Game three tomorrow, Tigers,
Guardians Game three tomorrow, hopefully for you Yankees, Red Sox
Game three tomorrow, the only one that won't be. Dodger's
(24:39):
just gonna embarrass the Reds tonight, just to make me
feel better about it. And by the way, here's my
hot I know you don't come here for hot takes.
You just come for our riches, hot buns. I know
you're not here for the hot takes. But my hot
take is I just don't like Alec Pregman's face. I
think he's stupid. I don't like a stupid face. But
my point in bringing that up, I think you would
(24:59):
like your You can't let that guy, you know, the
guys that you can't let beat you, right, you know
that heading into the game, he's the guy that we
can't let beat us, and then you let him beat you.
Can't let that happen again tonight. Not Well, we'll talk
a little more wild Card, but of course it's NFL.
We're talking week five. I'm an AFC North theory. We're
(25:20):
gonna get to but you had a Peter North theory,
not for this show. And we're gonna talk some forty
nine ers only because I don't know if anyone's actually
suiting up. On Thursday. We'll get to more NFL, some
baseball all coming up. Covino and Rich Yeah, Bilanos, Yeah,
(25:45):
but the rhythm take you overs. Mancy is with us today, Barlos,
do you know that Iowa? Sam asked me, Mancy, if
I got Moncie Zuma's revenge while I was in Mexico.
It's fun. He's full of like ridiculous puns, toy yes,
(26:06):
And I said no, Sam, I did not get Moncey
Zuma's revenge. That's until I get an eighties thing like
don't don't trick the water. I think it's still a thing.
Tricks filtered and you know, maybe my sister went to
Colombia and she said she wasn't right for a week
after that. Yeah, my sister.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Went to Colombia.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Oh geez, so that's Iowa Sam. We got Danny G,
super producer Danny G pumped about his Dodgers on the
phones at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Of course,
Manzi is a big Dodgers fan as well. She's here
with your updates in a few minutes. We got Mike's
Wednesday Words of Wisdom, your chance to win some prizes
if you could repeat it verbatim, and Midweek Major the
(26:46):
biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture.
We decide here on the show if those stories are
mid like the kiddos say week or chopped or whatever
they're saying nowadays, or major.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Definitely major.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
So I'm Cavino. It's good to be back. That's rich.
You know. We we'll talk about baseball later. I do
want to ask, like, when you see a team in
any sport struggling with injuries and conditioning struggling, do you
ever say, oh, it's coincidental all is it? Or is
(27:21):
it always in your mind the problem of the training staff?
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well, it depends. Does it seem to be an issue
like with your Mets for years and years and years.
I'm talking about the forty nine here, Mets are just cursed.
As we go into Thursday Night football, it could be
Ricky Pearsall, Juan Jennings, Rock Priorty. That point spread went
from four and a half to six and a half
to now seven and a half. This was supposed to
be an NFC West battle here in LA Thursday night.
(27:51):
It was supposed to be what people watch because everyone
assumes that Dodgers are going to wrap it up tonight
and tomorrow. You don't have to worry about Dodger baseball
out here in Los Angeles, Rams Niners. It's a good
Thursday night game, two three and one teams, And now
it looks like the forty nine is going to take
an l unless, of course, Mac Jones and Christian McCaffrey
controlled everything and they, you know, control the clock instead
(28:15):
of trying to defense. Robert Salas got his work cut
out for him with that Rams offense. Like, I don't know,
like forty nine ers might be ass or buns, as
the kids say, I don't know, that's a lot of
that's a. Do you realize how depleted that team is?
I used up back for a while. So your theory
is the trade Steph, Is that what you're saying? Does
that fall on them at some point?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, I mean we've seen that before, something in conditioning.
Is Is it right or could? It might not be right.
I hate when those primetime games, even when it's not
my team. I hate when it looks like such a
great matchup on paper and then it happens and you're like, oh,
key players are injured, so it loses. It's like primetime
Pizaz Thursday night was supposed to be a good one.
(28:58):
So we'll see. Maybe the Niners could hang in there.
Only time will tell. Gonna be a defensive obstacle for
Robert Sala, who, by the way, did you see he
was fighting with the Jags head coach? Is that over
yet or one of they? Did they hug it out?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Sala said he thinks he chose the wrong words stealing SI.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, dude, when you saw those two fighting, If you
don't know what we're talking about. After the Niners Jags game,
defensive coordinator and former Jets head coach Robert Sala and
the Jags head coach Liam Cohen, we're having words, and
Robert sala is the type of guy that could break
you in half. And Liam Cohen is the type of
(29:41):
guy that, like is a nerd. I wouldn't mess with
some so to me. So when Liam Cohen is like, God,
keep my name out of your mouth, I think Robert
Sala they I didn't even know if you needed some
John boy lip reading. I think he's like, I will
break you. Didn't he say something like almost Van Drago, like, yeah,
something like I'll break you in I'll break your half.
(30:02):
Why is that really what he said?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I must break you know? That's what people were saying
that we're trying to read his lists.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Say if he dies, he dies. Yeah wow. But I
just thought that's hardcore. It wasn't one side accusing the
other of sign stealing. Yeah, Robert Salad said maybe he
used their own words, but saying that there's certain teams
that are picking up on signals. Listen, it's not sign
stealing if it's legally done. If you're just picking up
on other team's cues and stuff, that's just I think
part of any game, right, Like when a guy's on
(30:29):
second base, on second base Have you seen guys balk
on purpose just to move the runner from second to
third and a non key situation just because it's like
to me, if you're so easily giving it up, whether
it be baseball or football, Yeah, it's just part of
the game. Get a more complex system. I don't know
the intricacies. I just thought it was funny that, and
they're like Liam Cohen said, like, keep my name out
of your mouth. And then Robert sala I think did
(30:52):
say something to the effect of I must break you.
I think he said I will find you and I
will kill you, something something like that. Some sort of
Robert Sallace could have pulled. You see that viral clip
with a bouncer who's gonna probably end up in jail.
Headlocked that kid and put his head through a car window.
Are you still traveling back? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I was.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I was up in the backstroke. You know what, I'll
show you that during the break. I'll maybe I'll post
on our Instagram story. But right now it's time to
go to Mansi for an update. Oh you mean Bulanios.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Rule it goes bolos.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Let the update take you overos.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That's how it goes. Thank you to Jonas Nas for
that one.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Yeah, so guys, we've got October basement, Yes, October baseball.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
The Guardians have forced a Game three.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
They outscored the Tigers already six to one, scoring five
runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, capped off
by a three run shot from bow Naylor. So game
three tomorrow for sure? Is that the second two greatest
words in sports?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Game seven? But then it's game three, not game five.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Game three a three.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Game three is more exciting, yes, because.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Anything can happen.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Anything can happen, especially in the wildcard. So who is
also likely gonna have another Game three? Likely Padres and Cups.
Because San Diego is up right now three zero. It
is the bottom of.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
The eighth inning. It's Nanny Matchado.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Yes, a game three Manny Mchatto with a two run
shot extending San Diego's lead.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
And of course we still have two more game threes.
Red Sox and Yankees.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
That's at sixth Eastern, Reds and Dodgers that is at
nine Eastern. News out of the NFL other than the
forty nine ers have nobody playing on Thursday against the Rams.
The Browns are benching quarterback Joe Flacco's starting rookie Dylan
Gabriel for Sunday's game in London against the Vikings, and
Joe Flacco is still gonna be the backup. Commander's head
coach Dan Quinn confirmed that quarterback Jaden Daniels has been
(32:46):
medically cleared to return. He's going to be a full
participant in today's practice, and Chargers head coach John Harbor
announced that Joe Alts, with that high ankle spring, is
doubtful to play this week. Cardinals running back Trey Benson
underwent are the scopic surgery on his meniscus.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
He's going to be about four to six weeks back
to you guys.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Of course he is. He's on my fantasy, of course.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Of course he is.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I got chopped, Cavino, What do you mean a guillotine league,
I got chopped.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Wait, so we have two losers on this show, you do?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
And you know what, we're the prettier losers out of
this show.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
So hell yeah, so pretty losers guillotine moncy, Yeah, I
got that's me that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
What was your problem? Who did you have? Nobody had
Josh Allen and the one week Josh Allen put up
no numbers. Can you know got knocked out? Yeah? I was.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
I lost by like two points. But I think Ladi
McConkey has been was really really quiet, and he was
one of my higher picks, and it just and then
I think I also have Baker Mayfield in that league,
and he was all right, I know, by like.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Two points in the league. Forty bucks, Yeah anybody? Yeah,
three nothing, Cubbies down to the Padres right now. I
like the battling. I like the battling going on. I
doubt the Reds are gonna have the same fate, but
it'd be cool. You know, I mentioned something yesterday, nothing
against your Dodgers. I think the Dodgers got it in
(34:09):
the bag. You know what's odd about them too? They're
hitting so contagious and makes me want to vomit. I
feel like that tasker Hernandez sees the ball like a
beach ball. In the playoffs, show Hey doing big things
in big moments, everyone starts hitting. It's gross.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Well, the problem is the bullpen comes in and walking
the opposing batters becomes contagious. No, but it's so but yeah,
but if they can get a six to seven run
lead in every game.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Well, the problem is is that we talk about it.
There's a lot of teams in Major League Baseball that
have a good top of the lineup, even non playoff
teams we talked about like my Mets with Lindor and
Soto and Pete and Yankees and Padres and Tigers. Everyone's
got a good few at the top. I just hate
the fact that the Dodgers. You get to the bottom
of that lineup and it's like Edmund will Smith, like
(34:55):
guys that could still be You can tell that they
just see the ball so well, and they make such
good contact when they're in their zone, and it feels
like they're in their zone right at the right time,
right where they left off in the postseason last year.
Because those bats were hot last night. So good luck
to the Reds if they could even steal one, just
to make it exciting. I think the Dodgers are gonna
win either way. I know we got a break, But yesterday,
(35:17):
when you weren't here, I talked about how there's got
to be something like all these injuries in football and
baseball have to be almost because and this wasn't a
high thought. So I don't want to repeat myself too much.
But players have just gotten too big, strong and fast
where their bodies aren't, Like they just can't handle the speed,
size and strength of the game.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
You know what it makes me think of when you
love this reference, because that bring it up a lot,
when Daniel Jones had that breakaway and his body just
couldn't keep up with what his mind wanted to do. Yeah, like,
because I was just saying that, remember when he fell
on himself the reliever of the reliever on the padres
just through one hundred and three mile an hour fastball
followed by a ninety mile an hour slider, Like, how
(35:58):
was a pitter? Do you adjust to one hundred and
three mile an hour fanst fall and then a ninety
mile an hour cutter? And then how's that? Guys? You
know this guy's gonna get Tommy John than the next
like years, solf eh, body's kind of handle so much. Man.
All right, well I have you so much more Covino
and Rich hanging on Fox Sports Radio. Next, it's the
(36:19):
first of the mom post season. Ghost season. Spooky season
has begun. As I always say, make sure you take
your trip to City Field. Doesn't that spirit Halloween?
Speaker 6 (36:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
You know, go to Spirit Halloween and get something earlier,
or else you're gonna be generic baseball player. You don't
want to be Aaron Smudge for Halloween, so let me
tell you this. You don't want to be the weakest
guy at the Halloween party. Get something now. You know
how our parents fall for AI stuff all the time? Yeah,
my mom will send me clips and I'm like, Mom,
are you serious? And by the way, if you missed
yesterday the show we played will Rich's mom no, which
(36:56):
is so much fun. You can catch out on the pod.
Will your boomer parents have the answer to things? I'll
tell you what they You know, it's interesting about that game.
I've been working with Rich for twenty years. I don't
think Rich's mom knew me when she saw me in
the lobby the other day. So yeah, she's like, is
that you. I'm like, yeah, it's me, Marianne. I look different.
So my mom sent me a picture of city Field
(37:19):
with a Spirit Halloween sign and she's like, Richie, is
this true. I'm like, yes, Mom. They turned city Field
into a costume, which my point wasn't to make a
bad joke about city Field. Yeah, it's about getting a
costume early buying some Halloween candy early, because no one
wants your weak ass circus peanuts, your big orange peanuts.
(37:41):
No one wants your leftover fruit. No one wants your
pennies and a cellophene rapper. And don't be the weak
ass house that's not participating. Have some fun this holiday season.
Nothing worse than when you walk your kid around trick
or treating and they knock on a door like no
one answers, like one day you can give me, give
my kid a little kick cat or something. Anyway, and
being postseason ghost season rich, let me just give you
(38:03):
one crazy stat before the play of the day.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
All right.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I saw this in a meme, so it has to
be true. It's actually from the Athletic If you're wondering
how rare the Yankees ninth inning was last night, it's
because it never happened before. The Yankees are the first
team in MLB postseason history to have bases loaded with
nobody out in the bottom of the ninth and not
score a run and lose the game. It was kind
(38:28):
of gross. Oh, I'm sorry, that kind of gross. Sorry
to hear that. I'm not saying that anyone should have
sympathy for the Yankees or Yankees fans are me in particular.
But it was wild to see last night, so they
deserve to lose. You can't win the game with one run, well,
not against the Red Sox. Your dude, your pal Chappie
(38:50):
or Ald Chapman. Yeah, who is the owner, by the
way of the record fastest pitch ever thrown in Mide
League Baseball history, one hundred and five point eight miles
an hour had his way with you guys. Yeah he did,
really did. He owns the Yanks. But guess what, it's
not our tyrack play of the day. What is show? Hey?
Otani hit two bombs on a one to one Otani
HiT's a towering ball day Pride Field.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
He flips so bad, Bed watches it fly three quarters
of the way up the pavilions, just a mammoth blast
for his second home run, and the Dodgers are pouring it.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
On in Game one. I know where that ball landed,
right my buddy's and the seat my buddy hit me up,
He goes, I went to get a coffee because the
game was sort of out of reach. I step away
and everyone in the section goes. The ball landed where
you were, which is the worst feeling. That's courtesy of
a five to seven the Dodgers audio on Network. That
was our Tiraq play of the Day. Tyreck's been helping
customers find the right tires for how what where they
(39:47):
drive ship fast and free back by free Road has protection,
convenient installation options all at tyrack dot com. The way
tirebying should. The only thing worse than your buddy Andy
story is when you leave the party, and that's when
all the hot shicks come. Usually yeah, the girls never came.
All right, So hey listen, we got more come coming
up here on Coveno Rich. We got Mike's words wisdom.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
You're hanging out with us and we reap all the benefits.
Of course, we got super producer Danny Gadnesday Iowa Sam
always bringing the fun and of course spots on the
videos with Midweek Major Today the biggest stories in the
world of sports and pop culture. We're gonna talk a
little more Jackson, some NFL, maybe some Aaron Rodgers. We
(02:02):
got Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. But first and first mostly,
I hope you had a Red Sox, Tigers, Cubs, Dodgers
sort of night last night. Well, I mean, how about
a Guardian's type of day. That's old news, buddy boy.
That series is tied up one one. Good for that,
and the Padres they're about to tie this series up
if all stays according to what's doing right now three
(02:23):
nothing pods YEA. So I hope, I hope it goes
further for them for the Yankees. For the fun of baseball,
I think we're gonna say, I think we're gonna see
three game threes. I think the Dodgers just out power.
That would be dope the Reds. I think that's the
only sweep you'll see. And it just proves that at
least the Mets would have been a more formidable opponent,
even though the Mets thing too. It's just like this
(02:45):
is just a warm up for you guys, isn't it wild?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Though that so far in this current format, teams are
eighteen of twenty if they win the first game.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Real.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Oh yeah, I think it's like or something ridiculous. Yeah,
it's it's tough, but hey, it's October baseball. You know
that eighteen out of twenty is ninety percent. Yeah, you said,
I think it's like that. He said, that's exactly nine
out of ten times eighteen out of twenty. There you haven't,
thank you, John rich Davis. Well, I mean I do
have my TI eighty two on a mental mathematicians. I
(03:14):
do have my mister professor calculator.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So I hope your team is winning. I hope you're
enjoying the Ghost season postseason as it officially begins. It's
the first of the month. The legend of the rent
is way past due. It's time to buy some Halloween candy,
and it's time to get ready for some pen season baseball.
Don't yawn in October. Why you know what happens when
you yawn in October? Right? No, tell us. Let's just
(03:40):
say a ghost decides to anyway have its way with you,
so hey enjoy October. No what happens during Hispanic Heritage month? Right,
because it's another fifteen days every time you go on,
bad Bunny has his way with you. I do love
how by the way, you're still about Bad Bunny. I
(04:01):
just want to make this point because I haven't been
here the past few days. If you're not happy about
Bad Bunny, that's okay. It doesn't make you racist. It
could make you just a rock fan, that's all it
could make you. I'm just a rock fan. Could make
you just a fan of hip hop or pop or
something else, but doesn't mean you.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
But we've also seen some racist people.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, oh, you could be racist, and
I'm not hating. I'm just stating it doesn't mean you
wear oak Lee's and Trucker hats and you're a Karen
or a Darren. Yeah, it could just mean yeah, Metallica
would have been cool. And I'm not the biggest fan.
And that's okay because I understand what the NFL is doing. Again,
though it is very extreme. We talked about it the
other day, but it is extreme. Though. You're right that
(04:39):
if you insinuate that you don't like the bad Bunny choice,
there is almost like a weird like, what are you racist?
That's not I just don't like you know what I mean,
I'm not It's not my thing. I'm here to say that.
Steve Cavino. I'm always stating this because I'm half Mexican, right,
so that's hispanic. Last I heard, I'm not happy about
the choice, but I'm not mad about it either. Is
he worthy of it? Absolutely, we've been hearing about. Hey, newsflash,
(05:04):
he performed with jaylo and Shakira. He's already done this
super Bowl halftime, so he's been famous internationally known thro
rock the microphone for years. And by the way, if
you're mad about anything regarding a halftime show, get a
life mad about it your measures. Imagine Matzi, Imagine like
you have so little going on your personal life, professional life, marriage, dating, kids, work,
(05:26):
that that you're imagine being genuinely like mad about it,
like rock must.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Be nice, must be nice if that is what you're
mad about.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Bum Those are good, easy problems to have.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So I'm not hating. I'm just stating that bad movie.
It doesn't make you a racist. You could just simply
be a rock fan like I am. And I'm not
hating on on bad money. I hope he has a
great performance, and I hope NFL reaches their their mission
of gaining more international fans. That's clearly what's going on,
and that's okay, and it was perfectly stated rich by
(05:59):
you in my absence. But I did want to make
it clear that not everybody's a racist because they're not
pumped about it, like I said the other day. Like
I said the other day, it's uh, I'm just really
excited happy Gilmore's Caddy has come a long way. Yes, absolutely,
I mean great for him. I know we're having fun
talking about bet Buddy and other things, but can we
talk about how your Yankees blew it yesterday? I listen.
(06:22):
I know I owe you a ton of money because
your Yankees. There was so much more dominant than the
Mets this year. Put that aside. I'm not rooting against
your Yanks, but last night Max Freed's rolling. He's rolling
like Limp is getting nearly two thousands. I'm going to
present a few things and then I'm going to hand
it over to the number one Yankee fan. I know,
but I have a few questions. I just want to
get out. Why take out Max Freed? And when I
(06:45):
hear you wait, I said, let me prose my questions,
I'm gonna forget them all you like my kids, can
I mister one at a time. I just want you
to be able to because I think I can say
this because Aaron Boone doesn't wear the nuts. That's why. Okay,
and I like Aaron Boone. I'm not an Aaron Boone hater.
There's a lot of people, a lot of Yankee fans
that love to trash Aaron Boone. I like the guy.
I'm not one of them, but he's not in charge analytics.
(07:08):
That's why it's the postseason. So I'm not saying there's
a time where you do push your guys, and it's
the postseason, like the whole like let's hold back. Holding back,
that's that's not what postseason baseball or any sport is about. Like,
that's it's the postseason. Yeah, it's a three game series.
No less, you gotta go all out, Yankees. I mean,
(07:29):
he was at one hundred and two pitches, But since
when is a hundred pitches like this? Like a guy
will uh you know, like he's like it's a gremlin
after midnight. Don't feed it after midnight. If Max Freed
is cruising pitch, kun is relative? Right? Is it a
laboring one hundred and two pitches or is he cruising
one hundred and two pitches? To me, it felt like
he was cruising one hundred and two pitch. Say you
(07:51):
let him get to a point where he's in a jam.
And by the way, it was only like a decade
ago where one hundred pitches was what you let a
guy hit when he was coming off of a rehab
start or something. One hundred pitches went from that's the
number you don't want to push to to your ace's
playoff limit. Yeah, Alex Korra pushed it to the limit
(08:12):
and it made all the difference. I don't how any
chances when your dude is in a zone like that.
Didn't look like he was laboring a little bit in
the past few winnings. Yes, but I think you let
him finish out that inning. Winners know how to finish. Yeah,
Max Freed, I think his winner. So let me ask
you this while he was asked at the end of
the game, like did you still have gas in the tank?
And he said yes, So that's all I need to know.
(08:33):
What about you left him in? What about on the
flippy dip of it? Yeah? I said, flippy dip. Well,
that's the proper sports term, I think, Yeah, on the
flippy dip of bit Crochet one hundred and seventeen pitches,
and isn't the fun fact his one hundred and seventeenth
pitch I called the Sergio flippy dip. It's isn't That
was his fastest pitch. So Crochet was dealing and they
(08:55):
left him in to get through seven and two thirds.
So that right there is the differ. Sorry question number
two for you, mister Yankees fans, Well let me answer
number one. Yeah, analytics Aaron Boone just playing it safe
thinking that Freed was laboring, but really Freed had gas
in the tank. You let him get to a point
where he needed some relief. I don't think he needed
(09:16):
it at that point, So that's the answer number one.
Question two was Aaron Judge, you know, the MVP runner up,
in my opinion, was he not moving fast to that
ball in a non hustle move or is he just
not there? Is he just physically really not ready arm
(09:39):
legs everything like he looked like he did. Ley dallied
to that base hit and the Red Sox leg out
a double when that was that was a single. That
was a single the right field. It was a hustle play.
It was a smart play knowing that Aaron Judge can't
throw the way he used to because he's coming off
an injury. He threw that ball back seventy three miles
per hour. If he had thrown it eighty three miles
(10:00):
like he did previously, just ten miles hour more, he
would have been out a second. But again, it wasn't
a matter of lollly gagon well. Remember, it was a
matter of just not having that gun and the Red
Sox seizing the moment and taking advantage. I get props
to the Red Sox for playing to their advantages. Monsey
Danny G. Did it feel like it was a little
lollygagon not just to throw, like just getting to the
(10:22):
ball like you know it did.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
But I I understand what Covino is saying.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It's more like we know he can do.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It, so it's hard to believe that he was just lollygagging.
I think it has more to do with he can't
do it, and he made them right the smart play.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And what did your Dodger say in the postseason last year?
We're going to expose the Yankees and their lack of
fundamentals and hustle at times. Right, it was about putting
the ball in playing and them beat themselves.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's a lot about that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now the last question, now, this is the most important one.
I listen to you talk about the Yankees every day
than on the air. I mean, Cavino's the most die
hard guy watches one hundred and sixty two games. He
could be out to a nice dinner with his girlfriend
and he's got his phone watching the Yankees. You know,
in June game seventy something, it's my only joy. Rich Well,
(11:13):
I hope your joy extends me on today. You talked
last week, Danny G. Do you remember Cavino saying, bro,
impact player, I'm gonna call it now, Yo Ben a
Ros Ben A Ros, Ben Rice Atoos, and you're doing
your little scoop and ball thing, Yo, not in the
starting lineup and laffing because you were all about Yo
(11:34):
Ben Aros, Ben Ros Rice, the Yankees and a guy
that didn't even want to show his face to the
reporters after the game because he was probably aggravated. You know,
a thirty thirty guy. You leave a thirty thirty star
star out of the lineup. Where was Jazz Chisholm Stars?
Where was Ben Rice? I asked, because talking about getting
(11:56):
weight too cute? Yeah, I wrote it down here Yankees
getting cute. See. I know Amid Rosario because he was
a met. I know he went out to play for
the Guardians. Maybe even the National beat it with him.
So Rosario. When I saw him in the box score,
I was like, oh, am I looking at the right game. Oh,
simple answer. He had thirty eight bats for the Yankees
this year and you put him in Game one of
(12:17):
the wild Card What are you doing? Aeron? Simple answer?
Not the right answer. I don't agree with it, but
I can answer the question. Now to back up Rich's point.
The Yankees benched fifty seven home runs and one hundred
and forty five RBI by leaving Chisholm and Rice out
of the lineup. How do you do that in a
three game series? The answer is simple, analytics. You're letting
(12:40):
nerds ruin baseball. Danny, you got because the lefty Crochet
is a dominant, dominant lefty pitcher, so they were going
lefty righty matchup. So the Yankees were stacking their right
handed bats and taking Jazz, Chisholm and Ben Rice out
of the lineup as a result. So that's really it.
That really answers the question, because even I'm scratching my noggin.
Rosario barely started a game for the Yankees all season,
(13:01):
but he's there because he's a right handed hitter in
that moment, and he's not a bad defensive replacement. Sonny,
you're lucky that the Dodgers are facing a righty tonight,
because if you're facing a lefty, you might want to
sit Otani right. Maybe fact, but how do you expect
to win with two of your biggest bats out of
the lineup.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
It's a Travis No, You're right, former Yankee Clint Frasier
tweeted this, leave it up to the dorks to f
he put the whole work the game up. Just use
your eyes and make a lineup with your gut. Ben
Rice and Gastism are too good to sit out a
must win playoff game.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And I couldn't agree more. And here's why analytics don't
work well. Two reasons. It's an obvious one, but I'll
give Big Mike the credit because he did point this out. Mike,
who runs this place, He has wisdom. Man. We'll discuss
that later.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Never heard of them.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
When dealing with analytics. They don't work in a three
game playoff because that's the average of one hundred and
sixty two game season, right, He's not gonna work in
that little series. You think Big Mike came up with
this thought. No, I'm just given point number one. Point
number two. Analytics don't cover in tangibles. Do they have
(14:13):
it in the moment? Are they in a good zone?
And that's why you put Weaver in there and he
blows it. They just don't know that they's just not
in the moment right now, and that do they have
a hot bat? Are they coming out with their last
couple appearances, they are struggling in these type of pressure moments.
It doesn't cover the human element and that's what's ruining
the game. And that's why Boone is making these decisions.
(14:34):
And it's not just Boone, it's your stupid Mets, and
it's your Dodgers too, Danny Gene. You know it, And
that's your problem with Dave Roberts. Yeah, yeah, except you
know the players step up now, am my man? Aaron Boone? Yes,
do I hate the Yankees? Yes? Well I love them
after today, I hope so. But the truth is it's
both to blame. And when I say both to blame,
(14:54):
I mean Aaron Boone in a stupid analytics I think
he blew the game by taking Freed out and having
that weak ass lineup in there and not making certain
moves when I thought they should have been made. I
thought you should pinch run Goldschmidt in the night, to
be honest, when you had the Mingas still on the
benchmid who has cinder blocks your feet exactly like, And
I get that run really didn't matter, but put some
pressure on that sweaty a hole Chapman who I can't
(15:17):
stand and Bregman in his stupid face. I hate the
Red Sox huh. So I think Boone blew it, but
I also think that the bullpen and Big G blew it.
Don't blow it, Boom, Yeah, don't blow it? Man, Who
need to give you the boring answer like, hey man,
you blame the players or you blame the manager. It's both.
Boone made the moves and they didn't come through, So yeah,
(15:37):
Weaver stunk it up. Gian Carlos Stanton was in a
big moment and the biggest heartbreak of the night is
you have the bases loaded with no outs and you
can't push one run across as disgusting unless they change
it up quick, They're going home tonight. So I wanted
to vomit last night. That's really it. I get so
upset about it. But it wasn't just about the Yankees.
(15:57):
But everyone's talking about analytics today and it really is
what's ruining in the game, and last night was a
classic example of that. I mean, ruining the game is extreme,
ruining these macros. It is it's the micro versus the macro.
And when I say micro, and i't mean your favorite
dirty jobs guy. I love Mike and I'm not talking
about micro I'm not talking about micros in spots talking
about his macros and micros and his diet. What about
(16:18):
my my pet crow micro? I said this joke like
a week.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Sam play on your shelf.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He don't.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I applaud the fact that he told that pantroke twice.
He's like a stand up comic that he just said.
He's like, oh, that didn't work at chuckles, let me
try it at a laughers down the block.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
So let me try it on a radio network.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah. Yeah, we only have three hundred and fifty affiliates.
So I look at it like analytics don't work in
the play off. Oh yeah, over one hundred and sixty
two games, analytics will work, right, But that's the big picture.
That's the macro in the micro. When you're talking about
a three game series, he knows, right, who's swinging a
hot bat, who's called out of the bullpen, where's their
(17:03):
head in these moments? You know, there's always a guy
like Volpi for example. I guarantee you analytics would have
said sit this guy out of the game. But he's
great in the playoffs, and he came in big yesterday
home run another single when it mattered, like who makes
that call? By the way, And I asked that because
even though my mets have nothing to do right now,
because they're irrelevant, a lot of people are speculating Carlos
(17:25):
Mendoza was not fired because he wasn't even the guy
really making decisions. So how do you fire a guy
that wasn't even making the lineup? Do you think that
it's the Revenge of the Nerds? Do you think it's uh,
Do you think it's your boy, Aaron Boone? Or do
you think Cashman is making the phone call before the
game and it's a team of goobers? You think Steinberner's
(17:45):
and Cashman and everyone's calling and saying we talked to
the nerds, Aaron, Yes, what did they say? What was
the name of that band that they had? And Revenge
of the Nerds with that corny synthesizer just song? Did
they have electric violin? They didn't have a name though
they didn't have a Yeah, they call him up and
they're like, here's what we think you should do based
on the statistics, and that's why you get the results
(18:09):
that you got. If Aaron Boone would just take a stand,
I don't believe he did in that moment. I believe
that Freed had more in him. I think you let
him finish out that inning. Then you start the next
inning with Weaver. You might have a different story. But
here's the thing. It's a bunch of woodves could have
should work. But that's what sucks about I just think
(18:33):
it's it's wild. But you don't sit Jazz and and
and Rice. And that's why Jazz ignored the media yesterday
and it was a bad look. And Boone responded to that.
He said, yeah, I saw it. But all I need
for him to do is kick some masks today. And yeah,
this is what they do, hey nerds. Yes, this is it.
This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you. This is
what they're doing right now. Calculating.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Oh, it says here. Then he says, play Austin Wells
against hey nerds.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
But uh I met Rosarios only have thirty at bets
for the Yankees.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Oh you gotta go righty lefty matchup, it says here
in the analytics, Brazario is much better against the left
handed pitcher.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, but Rosario hasn't played at all this year. Ben here, Yes,
that's why it sucks. That's why you're not using your
gun and your instinct and that's ruining the game. And
I hate to sound cliche because I know I'm not
the first guy to say that, but yesterday was the
prime example of what we're talking about. If you were
sitting there wondering why that made no sense, that's why. Yeah, Hey,
(19:36):
let me ask Monty and Danny g who I know
we're watching their Dodgers last night, Dodgers who are just
outclassing the Reds one hundred percent. But was there a
party that's like, while we did score ten runs and
this team is stacked and they're a while they're a
world series favorite, I'm sure, is there a party that's like, well,
that bullpen's not gonna fly against the Phillies or the
Brewers or the Yankees or the Red Sox, Like yeah,
(19:58):
I think you know, you don't even have to it's
to me, but but I'd only imagine, like, who's the
guy you bring it all the time? Hold on, don't
tell me, I gotta, I gotta, you gotta call. It's
a guy that I'm always like, why do they keep
bringing this guy in? Because I don't watch the Dodgers
the way you guys, do you.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Forgot about him when he had to turn around and
go back to the bullpen?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Remember Ves, Yes, I knew it was going to Why
do you guys love VESSI? Why is Dave?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Why do you guys keep going to VESSI? He's inconsistent.
There's been times where he'll close games out or at
least still set it up very nicely.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
They make that phone call to those nerds again, and
they go back to the control room and they're listening
to that music, and I like it says here, vessis.
I mean absolutely, his whip is under one and is
the r A was three? But I just feel like VESSI,
in key spots, there are guys like there are inning eaters,
and there's guys that in key spots.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
There have been bigger culprits in the Dodgers bullpen.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
There was a point where it was going on. The
game was never in danger, but there was a point
where I'm like, well, the Reds were a grand Slam
away from being you know.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
The Tye run on that.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, you know you know why I feeling that because
Roberts was just wanting to eat those innings up. He
didn't want to he didn't want to was either you
saw right, and Dodger fans were like, just just put
it in first, but they didn't want to do that.
They wanted to try to eat up some of those innings,
and it was the.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Right move because ultimately they won. Is moving forward, you're
going to use your key guys, and actually some of
your starters will move to the pen in those long
relief situations. But when you're beating the lowly Reds, who
I can't make fun of because they're better than my
lowly or Mets, I think it's kind of nice to
see the Reds in the playoffs. It is.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I'm not just happy to be there.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
No, I don't think it's Terry fran Cone is a
g But the Red stink the Red.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
They're not that they.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Deserve to be there.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
If your Mets were a dumpster fire, I would say
the same thing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Actually, they deserve to be there.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
They got they got there, and yeah, your Mets should
have been there.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I'm not saying the Mets should be there. They blew it,
but I'm saying any team that's eighty three and seventy nine,
four games over five hundred after one hundred and sixty
two doesn't really deserve to move on in any level.
This is bad, This is rash charity they are they
are there because they had that record, like they did
it sort of some sort of like sympathy given.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That was a Diamondbacks record was a year that they want.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You ever see the You ever see the movie? I
believe it's grown Ups or Grown Ups two and there's
like a water park scene. It's like two hotties and
bikinis and like one nerd girl, and people use it
as a meme. No, weren't they. I know you're talking
about with the daughter. What is it the daughters like
someone had someone in Grown Ups has like three daughters
and two or smoke shows and ones like a nerd. Yeah,
that to me, like that's's character Rob Schneider. He has
(22:47):
two hot daughters and one like yeah, sweet Robbie Schneider.
Well if that meme, which we've all seen, it's like
Phillies Dodgers and then the nerdy like unworthy daughter is
the red What about the two dragons that look all
fierce and then there's like the weird looking one that's
like got the weird You ever see the super face?
They they have all these memes. You ever see the
one that's like a fitness competition, it's like ripped oiled
(23:08):
up like honky dudes, and one like out with a
dad bod. Oh you mean you're your phone wallpaper? No,
my last pool party. Yeah, no, I don't know. I mean, look,
that was another weird game of analytics. And I hate
to bore you with that word in this conversation, but
it's a matter of here's what's ruining baseball, even though
it's very close, very tight, and very exciting at the
(23:30):
same time, I don't think anything's ruining it. I think
analy analytics are ruining the game because you're losing that
gut feeling, that gut move, the manager doing his job.
You're leaving it to the nerds. It's not helping the game.
Nerds don't belong there in this situation, not in these
small time three game series that we're seeing. But it's
also a matter of players not coming through. So yes,
(23:53):
both could be true. Analytics suck and certain players suck
in big moments. And we'll see if it happens any
different in a half hour from now. For the New
York Yankees, let's hope so well, it looks like right now,
the Padres are in the leads. It looks like Baseball's
giving us exactly what we want because we're looking at
the first two series. Are going to Game three's tomorrow, unless,
(24:15):
of course, the Cubbies have a comeback over the last
seven outs of the game. But right now, Dylan see started,
it came out early. I don't know if they're trying
to save him for an emergency situation. He through sixty
something pictures. So Padres Cubbies likely Game three tomorrow, Tigers,
Guardians Game three tomorrow, hopefully for you Yankees, Red Sox
Game three tomorrow, the only one that won't be. Dodger's
(24:39):
just gonna embarrass the Reds tonight, just to make me
feel better about it. And by the way, here's my
hot I know you don't come here for hot takes.
You just come for our riches, hot buns. I know
you're not here for the hot takes. But my hot
take is I just don't like Alec Pregman's face. I
think he's stupid. I don't like a stupid face. But
my point in bringing that up, I think you would
(24:59):
like your You can't let that guy, you know, the
guys that you can't let beat you, right, you know
that heading into the game, he's the guy that we
can't let beat us, and then you let him beat you.
Can't let that happen again tonight. Not Well, we'll talk
a little more wild Card, but of course it's NFL.
We're talking week five. I'm an AFC North theory. We're
(25:20):
gonna get to but you had a Peter North theory,
not for this show. And we're gonna talk some forty
nine ers only because I don't know if anyone's actually
suiting up. On Thursday. We'll get to more NFL, some
baseball all coming up. Covino and Rich Yeah, Bilanos, Yeah,
(25:45):
but the rhythm take you overs. Mancy is with us today, Barlos,
do you know that Iowa? Sam asked me, Mancy, if
I got Moncie Zuma's revenge while I was in Mexico.
It's fun. He's full of like ridiculous puns, toy yes,
(26:06):
And I said no, Sam, I did not get Moncey
Zuma's revenge. That's until I get an eighties thing like
don't don't trick the water. I think it's still a thing.
Tricks filtered and you know, maybe my sister went to
Colombia and she said she wasn't right for a week
after that. Yeah, my sister.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Went to Colombia.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Oh geez, so that's Iowa Sam. We got Danny G,
super producer Danny G pumped about his Dodgers on the
phones at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Of course,
Manzi is a big Dodgers fan as well. She's here
with your updates in a few minutes. We got Mike's
Wednesday Words of Wisdom, your chance to win some prizes
if you could repeat it verbatim, and Midweek Major the
(26:46):
biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture.
We decide here on the show if those stories are
mid like the kiddos say week or chopped or whatever
they're saying nowadays, or major.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Definitely major.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
So I'm Cavino. It's good to be back. That's rich.
You know. We we'll talk about baseball later. I do
want to ask, like, when you see a team in
any sport struggling with injuries and conditioning struggling, do you
ever say, oh, it's coincidental all is it? Or is
(27:21):
it always in your mind the problem of the training staff?
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well, it depends. Does it seem to be an issue
like with your Mets for years and years and years.
I'm talking about the forty nine here, Mets are just cursed.
As we go into Thursday Night football, it could be
Ricky Pearsall, Juan Jennings, Rock Priorty. That point spread went
from four and a half to six and a half
to now seven and a half. This was supposed to
be an NFC West battle here in LA Thursday night.
(27:51):
It was supposed to be what people watch because everyone
assumes that Dodgers are going to wrap it up tonight
and tomorrow. You don't have to worry about Dodger baseball
out here in Los Angeles, Rams Niners. It's a good
Thursday night game, two three and one teams, And now
it looks like the forty nine is going to take
an l unless, of course, Mac Jones and Christian McCaffrey
controlled everything and they, you know, control the clock instead
(28:15):
of trying to defense. Robert Salas got his work cut
out for him with that Rams offense. Like, I don't know,
like forty nine ers might be ass or buns, as
the kids say, I don't know, that's a lot of
that's a. Do you realize how depleted that team is?
I used up back for a while. So your theory
is the trade Steph, Is that what you're saying? Does
that fall on them at some point?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, I mean we've seen that before, something in conditioning.
Is Is it right or could? It might not be right.
I hate when those primetime games, even when it's not
my team. I hate when it looks like such a
great matchup on paper and then it happens and you're like, oh,
key players are injured, so it loses. It's like primetime
Pizaz Thursday night was supposed to be a good one.
(28:58):
So we'll see. Maybe the Niners could hang in there.
Only time will tell. Gonna be a defensive obstacle for
Robert Sala, who, by the way, did you see he
was fighting with the Jags head coach? Is that over
yet or one of they? Did they hug it out?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Sala said he thinks he chose the wrong words stealing SI.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, dude, when you saw those two fighting, If you
don't know what we're talking about. After the Niners Jags game,
defensive coordinator and former Jets head coach Robert Sala and
the Jags head coach Liam Cohen, we're having words, and
Robert sala is the type of guy that could break
you in half. And Liam Cohen is the type of
(29:41):
guy that, like is a nerd. I wouldn't mess with
some so to me. So when Liam Cohen is like, God,
keep my name out of your mouth, I think Robert
Sala they I didn't even know if you needed some
John boy lip reading. I think he's like, I will
break you. Didn't he say something like almost Van Drago, like, yeah,
something like I'll break you in I'll break your half.
(30:02):
Why is that really what he said?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I must break you know? That's what people were saying
that we're trying to read his lists.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Say if he dies, he dies. Yeah wow. But I
just thought that's hardcore. It wasn't one side accusing the
other of sign stealing. Yeah, Robert Salad said maybe he
used their own words, but saying that there's certain teams
that are picking up on signals. Listen, it's not sign
stealing if it's legally done. If you're just picking up
on other team's cues and stuff, that's just I think
part of any game, right, Like when a guy's on
(30:29):
second base, on second base Have you seen guys balk
on purpose just to move the runner from second to
third and a non key situation just because it's like
to me, if you're so easily giving it up, whether
it be baseball or football, Yeah, it's just part of
the game. Get a more complex system. I don't know
the intricacies. I just thought it was funny that, and
they're like Liam Cohen said, like, keep my name out
of your mouth. And then Robert sala I think did
(30:52):
say something to the effect of I must break you.
I think he said I will find you and I
will kill you, something something like that. Some sort of
Robert Sallace could have pulled. You see that viral clip
with a bouncer who's gonna probably end up in jail.
Headlocked that kid and put his head through a car window.
Are you still traveling back? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I was.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I was up in the backstroke. You know what, I'll
show you that during the break. I'll maybe I'll post
on our Instagram story. But right now it's time to
go to Mansi for an update. Oh you mean Bulanios.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Rule it goes bolos.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Let the update take you overos.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That's how it goes. Thank you to Jonas Nas for
that one.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Yeah, so guys, we've got October basement, Yes, October baseball.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
The Guardians have forced a Game three.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
They outscored the Tigers already six to one, scoring five
runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, capped off
by a three run shot from bow Naylor. So game
three tomorrow for sure? Is that the second two greatest
words in sports?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Game seven? But then it's game three, not game five.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Game three a three.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Game three is more exciting, yes, because.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Anything can happen.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Anything can happen, especially in the wildcard. So who is
also likely gonna have another Game three? Likely Padres and Cups.
Because San Diego is up right now three zero. It
is the bottom of.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
The eighth inning. It's Nanny Matchado.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Yes, a game three Manny Mchatto with a two run
shot extending San Diego's lead.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
And of course we still have two more game threes.
Red Sox and Yankees.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
That's at sixth Eastern, Reds and Dodgers that is at
nine Eastern. News out of the NFL other than the
forty nine ers have nobody playing on Thursday against the Rams.
The Browns are benching quarterback Joe Flacco's starting rookie Dylan
Gabriel for Sunday's game in London against the Vikings, and
Joe Flacco is still gonna be the backup. Commander's head
coach Dan Quinn confirmed that quarterback Jaden Daniels has been
(32:46):
medically cleared to return. He's going to be a full
participant in today's practice, and Chargers head coach John Harbor
announced that Joe Alts, with that high ankle spring, is
doubtful to play this week. Cardinals running back Trey Benson
underwent are the scopic surgery on his meniscus.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
He's going to be about four to six weeks back
to you guys.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Of course he is. He's on my fantasy, of course.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Of course he is.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I got chopped, Cavino, What do you mean a guillotine league,
I got chopped.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Wait, so we have two losers on this show, you do?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
And you know what, we're the prettier losers out of
this show.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
So hell yeah, so pretty losers guillotine moncy, Yeah, I
got that's me that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
What was your problem? Who did you have? Nobody had
Josh Allen and the one week Josh Allen put up
no numbers. Can you know got knocked out? Yeah? I was.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
I lost by like two points. But I think Ladi
McConkey has been was really really quiet, and he was
one of my higher picks, and it just and then
I think I also have Baker Mayfield in that league,
and he was all right, I know, by like.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Two points in the league. Forty bucks, Yeah anybody? Yeah,
three nothing, Cubbies down to the Padres right now. I
like the battling. I like the battling going on. I
doubt the Reds are gonna have the same fate, but
it'd be cool. You know, I mentioned something yesterday, nothing
against your Dodgers. I think the Dodgers got it in
(34:09):
the bag. You know what's odd about them too? They're
hitting so contagious and makes me want to vomit. I
feel like that tasker Hernandez sees the ball like a
beach ball. In the playoffs, show Hey doing big things
in big moments, everyone starts hitting. It's gross.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Well, the problem is the bullpen comes in and walking
the opposing batters becomes contagious. No, but it's so but yeah,
but if they can get a six to seven run
lead in every game.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Well, the problem is is that we talk about it.
There's a lot of teams in Major League Baseball that
have a good top of the lineup, even non playoff
teams we talked about like my Mets with Lindor and
Soto and Pete and Yankees and Padres and Tigers. Everyone's
got a good few at the top. I just hate
the fact that the Dodgers. You get to the bottom
of that lineup and it's like Edmund will Smith, like
(34:55):
guys that could still be You can tell that they
just see the ball so well, and they make such
good contact when they're in their zone, and it feels
like they're in their zone right at the right time,
right where they left off in the postseason last year.
Because those bats were hot last night. So good luck
to the Reds if they could even steal one, just
to make it exciting. I think the Dodgers are gonna
win either way. I know we got a break, But yesterday,
(35:17):
when you weren't here, I talked about how there's got
to be something like all these injuries in football and
baseball have to be almost because and this wasn't a
high thought. So I don't want to repeat myself too much.
But players have just gotten too big, strong and fast
where their bodies aren't, Like they just can't handle the speed,
size and strength of the game.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
You know what it makes me think of when you
love this reference, because that bring it up a lot,
when Daniel Jones had that breakaway and his body just
couldn't keep up with what his mind wanted to do. Yeah, like,
because I was just saying that, remember when he fell
on himself the reliever of the reliever on the padres
just through one hundred and three mile an hour fastball
followed by a ninety mile an hour slider, Like, how
(35:58):
was a pitter? Do you adjust to one hundred and
three mile an hour fanst fall and then a ninety
mile an hour cutter? And then how's that? Guys? You
know this guy's gonna get Tommy John than the next
like years, solf eh, body's kind of handle so much. Man.
All right, well I have you so much more Covino
and Rich hanging on Fox Sports Radio. Next, it's the
(36:19):
first of the mom post season. Ghost season. Spooky season
has begun. As I always say, make sure you take
your trip to City Field. Doesn't that spirit Halloween?
Speaker 6 (36:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
You know, go to Spirit Halloween and get something earlier,
or else you're gonna be generic baseball player. You don't
want to be Aaron Smudge for Halloween, so let me
tell you this. You don't want to be the weakest
guy at the Halloween party. Get something now. You know
how our parents fall for AI stuff all the time? Yeah,
my mom will send me clips and I'm like, Mom,
are you serious? And by the way, if you missed
yesterday the show we played will Rich's mom no, which
(36:56):
is so much fun. You can catch out on the pod.
Will your boomer parents have the answer to things? I'll
tell you what they You know, it's interesting about that game.
I've been working with Rich for twenty years. I don't
think Rich's mom knew me when she saw me in
the lobby the other day. So yeah, she's like, is
that you. I'm like, yeah, it's me, Marianne. I look different.
So my mom sent me a picture of city Field
(37:19):
with a Spirit Halloween sign and she's like, Richie, is
this true. I'm like, yes, Mom. They turned city Field
into a costume, which my point wasn't to make a
bad joke about city Field. Yeah, it's about getting a
costume early buying some Halloween candy early, because no one
wants your weak ass circus peanuts, your big orange peanuts.
(37:41):
No one wants your leftover fruit. No one wants your
pennies and a cellophene rapper. And don't be the weak
ass house that's not participating. Have some fun this holiday season.
Nothing worse than when you walk your kid around trick
or treating and they knock on a door like no
one answers, like one day you can give me, give
my kid a little kick cat or something. Anyway, and
being postseason ghost season rich, let me just give you
(38:03):
one crazy stat before the play of the day.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
All right.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I saw this in a meme, so it has to
be true. It's actually from the Athletic If you're wondering
how rare the Yankees ninth inning was last night, it's
because it never happened before. The Yankees are the first
team in MLB postseason history to have bases loaded with
nobody out in the bottom of the ninth and not
score a run and lose the game. It was kind
(38:28):
of gross. Oh, I'm sorry, that kind of gross. Sorry
to hear that. I'm not saying that anyone should have
sympathy for the Yankees or Yankees fans are me in particular.
But it was wild to see last night, so they
deserve to lose. You can't win the game with one run, well,
not against the Red Sox. Your dude, your pal Chappie
(38:50):
or Ald Chapman. Yeah, who is the owner, by the
way of the record fastest pitch ever thrown in Mide
League Baseball history, one hundred and five point eight miles
an hour had his way with you guys. Yeah he did,
really did. He owns the Yanks. But guess what, it's
not our tyrack play of the day. What is show? Hey?
Otani hit two bombs on a one to one Otani
HiT's a towering ball day Pride Field.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
He flips so bad, Bed watches it fly three quarters
of the way up the pavilions, just a mammoth blast
for his second home run, and the Dodgers are pouring it.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
On in Game one. I know where that ball landed,
right my buddy's and the seat my buddy hit me up,
He goes, I went to get a coffee because the
game was sort of out of reach. I step away
and everyone in the section goes. The ball landed where
you were, which is the worst feeling. That's courtesy of
a five to seven the Dodgers audio on Network. That
was our Tiraq play of the Day. Tyreck's been helping
customers find the right tires for how what where they
(39:47):
drive ship fast and free back by free Road has protection,
convenient installation options all at tyrack dot com. The way
tirebying should. The only thing worse than your buddy Andy
story is when you leave the party, and that's when
all the hot shicks come. Usually yeah, the girls never came.
All right, So hey listen, we got more come coming
up here on Coveno Rich. We got Mike's words wisdom.
We'll talk some NFL spots midweek major all right here
(40:09):
on Fox Sports Radio. Don't go anywhere.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
