Speaker 4 (01:46):
You or what?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, did you lose a bat? No?

Speaker 5 (01:50):
I didn't lose it back.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Maria puts you under pressure to get rid of that thing.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I shaved it. Maybe it'll change the Mets luck.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh, all right, thanks Scott.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Always a pleasure to be here with all these fine people.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
We had a good time on Saturday. I guess we
get to see Mickey the few Weeds up at Rocket
Damn great stuff. We'll definitely get up there that Sunday
for sure, do some stuff. We'll keep you posting on
a lot of different things going out with the network,
but let's not leave anything out there. Clayton Kershaw has retired.

(02:32):
The Dodgers have earned their thirteenth straight trip to the postseason.
So with that particular, said Eric, what are your thoughts
about the legacy of Clayton Kershaw.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I mean, you know best, you know, I remember him
when he was when he was first first coming up,
and he became arguably the best, the best picture of
my of my lifetime. I mean, gosh, you know, and
multiple Cy Young Rewards, two World Series rings. You know,
it doesn't get much better than that. You know, he is,
he is the best picture of my generation. He's you know,

(03:04):
he's done everything you could ever want to do as
a pitcher in baseball. I know, when I know, I'm
gonna assume when Mick Mick was managing the Mets, and
he would and he was facing a prime Clayton Kershaw,
I was you know, I'm sure that made him uncomfortable
making the lineup because it was gonna it was gonna
be a long night, given that he had a fastball
edges that that could paint, and he also had a

(03:26):
just a curveball that just dropped right off the table
that nobody could hit it just it just went in
the sky and then it just dropped. But you know,
best picture of my generation. Hall of Famer for sure,
and I have no doubt that he is going to
be a first ballot Hall of Famer. But you know,
glad to see that Clinton Kershaw is calling, calling what
has been a decorated career.

Speaker 7 (03:46):
And it's also great to see too.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
He's done it just in one uniform, butch is something
you don't see really very often anymore. That makes it
that much more special.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
George. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Kershaw of course is good friends with Matthew Stafford, the
quarterback of the La Rams, and they have a great
relationship and I think it's kind of cool because you know,
it crosses both lines and they get to chat and
you know they're not in the same sport obviously, but
they love to continue to chat with each other and
that's great. They're great friends, their wives are friends, and

(04:19):
their families too. Kershaw has just been dynamite.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
He really has.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I mean, I know a lot has been said about,
you know, some different controversies, but hey, you know, come
on different things during your career. You're all going to
get into something different. And he is a very faithful,
very religious person. And I know some people might not
have wanted to talk about that or whatever, but from
a Ballparks standpoint, from a stadium standpoint, this guy really

(04:47):
really knew how to please the crowds at Dodger Stadium,
Oh my gosh. And of course just a tremendous, just
a commendous career, like you mentioned Katsy, you know, multiple
cy Young, multil All Star Game. You know, this guy
is incredible and the win total and all that. So
hats off to you, Clayton. Good to see you enjoy this,

(05:10):
this final round for you and your Dodgers this season.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yeah, yep, Rob Yeah, of course, great pitcher, Dodger for life,
two point five four lifetime e r A, which is excellent. Right,
What more could you say about him? You know, George, Eric,
every I agree with everything they said. Great pitcher, hall

(05:35):
of Famer, yes, first time probably first time Hall of Famer,
and you know what a career.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
Yeah yeah, I mean everybody kind of mentioned everything already.
This guy is, you know, once in a generation pitcher,
one of the finest left handed pitchers of all time.
Definitely a first ballot Hall of Famer. And the thing
that's in Eric's right when you have to make up
out of lineup to go face Clayton Kershaw, you are

(06:06):
sweating in your boots. You're you're just like, oh man,
this is this is you know, how do how do
how do you navigate the big curveball and the painted
fastball and and the just the dominant pitch mix that
this guy featured every night on the mound. But the
thing that stood out to me the most, this guy

(06:27):
was one of the most competitive individuals you've ever seen.
You know, real calm and cool and collected when you're
talking to him or in the dugout, but when he
got on the mound, he was a madman. I don't
know if anybody got to see him live, it was
like watch you know, him and Sures are kind of
stand out to me as two of them. They're just

(06:47):
they kind of they're they're it's and it's very odd.
You most of the time you're saying, keep your calm,
keep your composure, just go out there and make pitches.
But he fed off that adrenaline and that that just
that pump and that competitiveness that that he had during
the game. And I mean I heard him yelling and screaming,

(07:08):
and you know, it was just he was the ultimate competitor.
And I loved watching him pitch, all.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Right, Candy, give us some numbers on him. Go ahead, Eric,
you can go ahead.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I got I got a question for a skip, Like
take me through that process though of putting together a
game plan when you're taking on Clayton Kershaw, Prime Clinton Kershaw.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yeah, that's the one time you lean on the front
office a little bit more. And then you don't mind
that they sit down a lineup because you can be like, hey,
they sent out the lineup. No, you know what you
have to do is you you in my mind, you
almost have to play a couple of guys that don't
get to play very much. You know, I think that's
a that's a decent strategy. Like if you had a

(07:49):
Rajah Davis on, you know, on your bench, you might
put him in there just you know, we want some speed.
You know you're not gonna be hitting very many home
runs and stuff, so you're trying to build a lineup
that can manufacture just a couple of runs, you know,
because that's all you're hoping for. So you know, to
go out there and just throw your big boppers out there.

(08:10):
You know they're probably gonna He's probably gonna dominate you,
and you're going to see a lot of strikeouts. So
you want some contact hitters, You want some speed on
the bases. You want some guys that can move the
ball around, touch the ball, and hopefully you can get
you know, Scripe across two or three runs.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Candy.

Speaker 8 (08:27):
Okay, are we ready? Are we really ready? Kershaw was
drafted by the Dodgers with the seventh overall pick in
the first round of the two thousand and six MLB Draft.
He worked his way through the Dodgers farm system and
reached the majors at age twenty after one season. In

(08:48):
twenty eleven, he won the Pitching Triple Crown and the
National League Cy Young Award, becoming the youngest pitcher to
accomplish either of these fit feats since Goodin in eighty five.
Kershaw pitched a no hitter on June fourteenth, twenty fourteen,
becoming the twenty second Dodger to do so. He was

(09:11):
the first major league pitcher to lead MLB in ERA
in four consecutive years, and also led the National League
in a fifth. He is also the three time National
League wins leader and strikeouts leader. His two point five
to two career earned run average is the second lowest

(09:31):
amongst starters in the Live Ball Era with a minimum
of one thousand innings pitched. He was an eleven time
All Star World Series champion, National League MVP, three time
National League Cy Young Award winner, Triple Crown, Golden Glove
Roberto Clemente Award, three time National League Wins leader, five

(09:56):
time National League ERA leader, three time National the League
strikeout leader. He is, I mean, and he is one
of twenty pitchers and four left handers to be members
of the three thousand strikeout Club. So kudos to what
a career and like Eric, like you said, to do

(10:18):
it with one organization is pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Hey, Josh Odor, just a little fyi? Who topic is
the third topic of the list? Sit tight? Okay, they'll
be coming on any brother back in the house. Great,
so everyon. Why Stephen isn't on tonight show because he's
working on social media to help us out. But I'm
glad you care, all right? As far as I'm concerned,
Clayton Kershall is what he is. His career feak for itself.
I'm just glad he's had an opportunity to win a

(10:44):
World Series and he's done an awful lot of things.
Seventeen eighteen years of twenty time from their enjoying time
with the family. First Balot, Hall of Famer and any brailer,
no doubt about it. This is a no bringer by ever.

Speaker 8 (10:55):
So on.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, I mean Sandy Kofak got in there in players long,
There's no doubt. I think that Clayton Kershaw. It can
definitely be that, So Joshua. Third topic of the night.
Don't worry. This has your name and Cyberuski's name written
all over it. I don't really come up with food topics,
but when you have a doozy like this one, you
definitely do it. Okay, and stay tuned. So with that said,
let's talk about if the Cintenna Reds are currently hold

(11:18):
the last National League wildcard fighter with the Mets and
the Diamondbacks, and Mets have been actually trolled their postseason
spot since April the fifth tough way to go if
you're the Mets fans. But get this, okay, what are
your thoughts Eric about the fact that the Mets are
a big trouble.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well, it doesn't surprise me because this is just what
the Mets have done since since I was since I
was practically born.

Speaker 7 (11:42):
Is this you know? And this is just what they're
known for. This is what they do. But no that
what happened. I'll give you one.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
I'll give you one answer for the Reds, and it
starts with Terry Frankcona.

Speaker 7 (11:54):
I'm telling you, Scott.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
We talked about this over and over again, and Mick
Mickey noses all too well, considering he shared the same
dugout of as the man.

Speaker 7 (12:03):
You know, this guy, no matter.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Where he's managing, his teams always have a shot at
getting in the postseason and doing some major damage.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
They are you know. In part of it, too, is
the Mets just you know, I knew.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Their pitching would come back to bite him at the
wrong time. They went They went weak in the offseason
with it short started off great, you know, but you
know they had the best I think at one point
the best pitching staff in baseball at that for a
while there.

Speaker 7 (12:31):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
You knew that it was going to run out of gas.
They banked on Sean and I as one good year,
which we've seen Sean and I have some good years.
But then he falls. Then he falls down a hill.
You know, Frankie Montaze is you know to me, Frankie
montaz is a has been and you know, and in
Clay Holmes, you know who knew, you know, the the

(12:54):
amount of pitch innings that he's had to lug. He's
never had to do that before. So you knew there
was going to be some some fall off there. And
I don't think the Mets were banking on Code I
Sango to get into a second half slunk slump like
he had to the point where they had to throw
him down in the minor leagues. You know, the kids
are great, Nolan McLain, also Jonah Thong. They look they

(13:15):
look like fantastic arms and they're gonna have bright futures
in New York. However, however, they you know, it's unreasonable
to expect them to save your team this late in
the season. That's just not fair to put put that
on a rookie. And so far the and the Mets,
you know that they're they're paying for it. It didn't
help that Ryan Helsley, you know, to side Ryan Helsley,

(13:38):
you know, there were warning signs there that Ryan Helsley
was not the same guy that he had been with
the Cardinals, and the Cardinals actually gave him less than
they would have had they given.

Speaker 7 (13:46):
Him up earlier.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
You know, here's the you know, with with all that,
you know, part of it too is, you know, Cedric
Mullins again, another guy with warning signs. He wasn't really
hitting the ball that well in in Baltimore. Harrison Batter
was there for the taking. Who's proven he could, who
was a Met once before, and he's proven that he can,
that he can play under those brighton New York lights,
playing for both the Yankees and the Mets. But no,

(14:11):
they didn't grab them. You know, Johan Duran, they would have.
I'm sure the Mets. The Mets had the pharm system
to get him. And here here's the thing though, the Mets,
you know, it's unfortunate though that you know, their offense
has been kind of having a hard time hitting with
runners and scoring position all year long, and the stars
or something, this is what happens. And the fact that
they are in the position they were in, you know,
it's not shocking given that, given all that's gone on

(14:33):
to him this season.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Skip Yeah, I mean, you know, anything can happen right now,
right they're they're neck and neck, you know, and and
this is a situation where all things aren't equal. You know,
I think the Mets have way more pressure on them
right now that this is This is kind of a
failing season for what they thought they were going into.

(14:55):
The Reds are elated just to be here at this
point at this time and are playing, you know, with
house dollars. No matter what happens to the Reds from
this point forward, they're going to be happy with their season.
They have Terry Francona in the dugout. He's been there,
he's done that. He knows how to act at this

(15:16):
point in the season where anything could happen, and he
is calm, cool, collected. The Reds players are not pressing,
not because of their manager. He is making sure that
he's surrounding the troops and he is going to get
the best out of these guys. Like I said, anything
can happen. The Mets could could you know, run off

(15:37):
five in a row or whatever. But this is not
an equal race at this point.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
In my mind.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
They're tied. But you have Terry Francona, who Eric is right,
You put Terry Francona in the dugout towards the end
of the season and get him in the playoffs. I
wouldn't be surprised if the Reds don't get to the
World Series, because that's what Francona does.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, so there you go, Joshuador. Stean is watching you
guys after all, but he's watching from the distance. And no,
I think Bett Miller when I had sung that song,
but I didn't know if there and do it. So
all right, Rob, is your team not really looking too good?

Speaker 3 (16:17):
But yeah, yeah, well we.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
All know about the pitching, so I'm not even going
to talk about that. Why why they didn't sign Quintana
and let him go to the Brewers. I'll never understand,
you know, good fourth fifth starter, and they's, like Eric said,
Frankie Montaze. Listen, Yankee fans know about Frankie Montaze because

(16:40):
he only pitched for a couple of games for them,
and he's injured. He's injured all the time. But I'm
not going to talk about the pitching staff. I'm going
to talk about something else center field. I don't know
what they were thinking. Did they think that the combo
of Taylor and Siri were gonna be all right? And
you know they were gonna have a great Siri gets hurt,

(17:02):
that's it. He comes back and you know he's just
not playing right and Taylor, Taylor has been hurt. Why
did they not bring back Batter? Okay, I talked about
this on our show a ton of times. He goes
to the Phillies. What happens when the Mets play the
Phillies at four game series Batter destroys the Mets. So

(17:25):
you know what this is on the Mets. The Mets,
you know, they they gave it up. I'm gonna give
the Reds credit, of course, right, I mean, you cannot
the Reds. Hey, it's great. Everybody thought the Reds were
out of it and you can't count Francona's team out
of it, no way. So it's the Mets, you know. Uh,

(17:45):
Mickey's right. The pressure's on the Mets, the Reds. Anything
now is cake for the Reds. The Mets have a
lot of pressure. So let's see what happens this last week.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Hey, Rob, Yeah, there's a term out there called house money.
You ever heard it?

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Of course?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Good? They're not half money, really, jar they really? Okay,
you can make.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
The same argument that you can make the same argument
the Mets were on it last year when they made
their run to the NLCS.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Okay, I got you, so I don't go ahead anyways.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Well, I'm just saying the New York teams, you know,
I don't ever say they're on house money, because they
spend money like it's going on a style. They for
pitchers and for catchers and for fielders and hitters. Hey, listen,
the Mets. This has been a problem with them for
years and years and years. I mean it really has.
Something is broken there. Something's broken every single year. Either

(18:40):
they're hitting or they're pitching, they're coaching, or they're managing.
It goes on and on. It's just like an endless
cycle and and and nobody can explain it. I mean,
talk about long suffering fans at the old Chase Stadium
and now you're.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
A new stadium.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
I think that the Mets really really want to try
to make the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
A lookout.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Those Reds are hot right now and they really are young,
and like you said, they're on house money. I'll tell
you what, it's going to be an exciting fight to
the finish. Made the best team win. I'm not counting
you out yet, Rob, Your team is not dead.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
They're in it.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
But the fact of the matter is is you got
to start winning some games. And yes to everything you
guys have all said about francona great man, great manager,
hall of fame manager in my eyes, of course.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
So Eric, you have spoken on this, right, yeah, Okay,
go ahead, Candy.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
I find it very interesting that these two teams are
as close as they are now. Who do the Reds
have left and to play? They have the Pirates and
they have the Brewers. Who do the Mets have left?
They have the Cubs and the Marlins. So both both

(19:54):
the Cubs and the Brewers are already in so they
only there is a couple of different ways you can go.
And Skip, you'd be the best one for to chime
in about this. When you're a team that's already in
the playoffs, do you rest players or do you keep
them going to keep them you know, engaged and hot

(20:19):
so to speak, Because let's face it, either of these
two teams want to win all of these games. Knowing
that you're going again against the top two in the
National League or that are already in the playoffs. It'll
be interesting because like the Pirates are aren't going anywhere.
The Marlins, I mean they're not eliminated yet, but close.

(20:43):
So Skip what would you say for like the Brewers
and the Cubs. Do you think they're gonna be resting
their players this next cup? You know, this this last week,
since they're both.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
In no usually you'd rest them right now, right, You're
gonna get them a little bit of a break. You
don't want them to have this big, huge layoff before
you play your first game of the playoffs. So those
all those players are going to be playing. And also,
you know there's there's gonna be some talk in the

(21:12):
front office to try and keep certain teams out of
the playoffs, right you you want to you want to
keep certain teams out. So you're you're gonna, you know,
if you're going up against the Mets and you think
that they have a better you know chance against you
than than the Reds do, then you're gonna put everybody
out there against the you know, the Mets. And uh,
you know, I've already seen where they're moving Al Kantara.

(21:34):
The Marlins are moving Al Kantara to go face the
Mets and pushing him back so they can be the spoilers.
That's another thing you got to watch out for. If
they're in your division, they're trying to spoil your day, right,
They want to make sure you don't get into the playoffs.
So there's a lot of factors involved. But but those
main players, position players at least will be playing in

(21:58):
those last couple series. You might see a little bit
of a different pitching lineup from the Brewers and the Cubs.
You know, they might take their starters out a little
bit early to make sure they're totally rested. But a
lot of times you're trying to line up that third, fourth,
and fifth starter at the end of those you know,
that last three or four games of the season, so
you can pitch them, you know, in the playoffs and

(22:20):
in the third and fourth games or whatever. So you know,
it's interesting. I don't think anybody ever, you know, really
just kind of throws in the towel. They want to
keep their players fresh, and you want to win all
of those games. We always talk about it. Who's hot
going into the playoffs matters a lot, and you don't
want to go in kind of limping in because you

(22:41):
rested your players. You know, these guys, once the playoff starts,
you can have broken ankles and you're going to go
out there and give it your all, you know, you're
not going to get tired, so you know, tired or not,
they're going to be resting those guys maybe right about now,
you know, giving them a day or two off this week,
and then they're gonna be playing in those last six games.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Of the year.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
All right.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
With that said, Sabruski, you're reading this, Josh, you're reading this.
You're on a giveaway bent list until they can actually contribute.
Really gave me with the show and as of the topics,
but guess what, we're gonna give you that opportunity in
a few minutes after we're done with this Mets topic. Yes,
I got news for you. The Mets have a lot
of work to do, and in my opinion, they've better.

(23:25):
They don't have a whole lot of time. We're gonna
talk about the Marlins in just a moment. But here's
a guy that I'm sure the Mets wish they had now,
but they once upon a time do to have them.
Because twelve nine, twelve eighty four, a guy by the
name of Doc Gooden, just so you know, struck out
sixteen sixteen people. I'll tell you one they skip. How

(23:47):
about that doctor? Yeah? Out sixteen unbelievable stuff eight.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
I mean, anytime you see a guy striking twelve or
more out, you're seeing you're seeing some history. To me,
you know, yeah, you can, you can strike out twelve.
But if you see thirteen, fourteen, eighteen, you know, sixteen
from Doc on that day, that's just an incredible, incredible day.
That's one of those rare occasions where everything's working and

(24:14):
everything's clicking. You're throwing your fastball where you want to,
you're painting your you know, your off speed pitches, you're
throwing pitches behind in the count for strikes, off speed
pitches behind the count for strikes, and you're wiping guys
out with that nasty curveball that Doc had. So, I mean,
what an unbelievable performance. Sixteen strikeouts is amazing.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
All right, Rob, that was a pretty good time. I'm
sure pulling every k that there was.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
I'm sure Rob was there.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
I was listen. I was there so many Friday nights
because you got Shame Stadium. It was practically set up
that Doc would pitch on a Friday night. So it
was like Friday night at Shay. We were there with
the k's going wild, and you know what, maybe someone
on the eighty six, Mets made a deal with someone,

(25:04):
and that's why the Mets can't win anymore. I don't know,
I mean, but let's remember ten years ago they did
Gift in the World Series.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
All right, George, Yeah, Doc Gooden, I mean, despite all
of his problems off the field, which we're not here
to talk about now, he was a hell of a
pitcher and what a strikeout artist he was too. I mean,
just tremendous career he had. And I really remember those
games because, like you said, they were always whenever they
could besides the Yankees, you always tried to get the

(25:37):
Mets on TV, and of course he played for the
Yankees as well twice. And Doc Gooden was just tremendous.
I mean, yeah, you really, once you fell behind in
the count, it was hopeless for I'm trying to face
up loads and loads of strikeouts. What an incredible streak
and what an incredible feat that you mentioned too, Scott

(25:58):
with use sixteen.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Wow, yeah, Derek, I mean, he doesn't, you know, I mean,
you know, for for you know, this was early in
Doc's career, when he was on his way to having
a Rookie of the Year and then eventually a Cy
Young before he could legally drink.

Speaker 7 (26:16):
He you know, he was something.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
I mean, when you ten strikeouts, you kind of blink
a little bit, but then when you start getting up
and up and up, you're just like, you know, you know,
he's he's operating on this lineup like it's up, like
it's no tomorrow, and you know, that's that's just what
Doc did.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
I mean, you know, that was you know, it was
one heck of performance by him.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Obviously, obviously it's unfortunate, you know, what happened later on,
but you know, but man, but Doc was Doc was
something at that point in time, and we thought that,
you know, we were truly getting the best picture of
the eighties, probably next to Nolan Ryan.

Speaker 8 (26:51):
He actually did pitch a he as a member of
the Yankees in ninety six Good and pitched a no hitter,
helped the team on it's to a World Series championship.
He pitched four additional years. He never approached the success
that he had though when he was with the Mets.
I mean, he pitched. He was a four time All Star,

(27:15):
two time World Series champion, New York National League, Sie
Young Award, Triple Crown Award winner, National League Rookie of
the Year Silver. Wow, I can't even speak tonight. Silver
Slugger Award, MLB Wins Leader, MLB ei A Leader, two
time MLB Strikeout Leader. He pitched, like I said, a

(27:37):
no hitter on May fourteenth of ninety six, and the
Mets did retire his number. I mean when he was
good and on he was lights out.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Well, I'll say this much. I'll always remember Doc Goodin
for being a Met. Yes, he had some good years
with the Yankees, but he'll always be remembering in my
eyes as a Met. Let's continue on. Let's go to
the food portion of the show, because I know Saibruski
and we know that gosh who were waiting for it
Before we get to that part though. Congratulations Cascino Gascon

(28:08):
for being actually named to the Negro League's Hall of
Fame in Kansas City. He's the all time winning his
Blue Jay manager from one manager to another. What are
your thoughts about what Cheto Casten did skip out in Toronto?

Speaker 6 (28:23):
Yeah, that's awesome. You know what a great manager he
was and that had all the success in Toronto. And
if you've never been to the Negro League Museum in
Kansas City, you have to go. It was one of
the best experiences of my life. I've been there several
times when we go in to see the royals, and
what great history there is there. It's a cute little

(28:44):
street there. There's a great little place to eat across
the street. So if you get the opportunity, go go
check out some of that history and it'll blow your mind.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Another By the way, I forgot to mention this pooting
ottlebout god goodin he actually broke the mets. He broke
the MLB record for trekouts by a rookie sept by
Herb Score. I thought I throw that out there. No
comment necessarily, just an fyi out there. Okay, some thoughts
about Seado Gas and.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
Rob Yeah, well he deserves it, definitely. What a what
a great manager for the Blue Jays, right, and and
Mickey's right, that museum is great. I was there when
I was in Kansas City a couple of years ago.
If you get a chance to visit it, it really is.
It is great.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
George, Yeah, I would like to go there, obviously. It
sounds like a fantastic place.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Seito Gas and to me was always one of the
class acts in Baseball. I always admired him. He did
a hell of a job with the Blue Jays. His
whole career was I think a microcosm of uh, you know,
the challenges that he faced as an individual, and as
did many of the obviously early black American baseball all

(30:00):
players did and managers as well. But yeah, he he's
a tremendous guy and uh he deserves those accoloids and
then some.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
He really does.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
And I don't think there's any questions, you know, should
eventually get in then MLB Hall of Fame, no question
about a great mind sticker, like you said the world
saying again on the air.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
All right, Eric, Well, you know, obviously Pito Gaston obviously
a great manager for the Blue Jays, not once, not once,
but also but also twice because he came back, because
he came back in between the in between John Gibbons
coming back twice.

Speaker 7 (30:32):
You know. But you know, you.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Could say ala ala Joe gibbson Major League Baseball. You
know it's a you know, it's you know, no one
more deserving. His teams were always ready to go, and
you know he always he always had him playing hard. Obviously,
he means so much to the city of Toronto and
the success that he brought there, and also the two
the two Worlds, the two the two back to back

(30:54):
championships he won while there, and you know, I mean,
if you look at it now, hasn't had a manager
who's been nearly as successful as Cito Gaston has as
Cito Gaston was during his time with Toronto.

Speaker 7 (31:09):
The Blue Jays have gone through.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Many managers since that time, and none of them have
even equaled the success that Gaston did. Yes, Gaston came
back the second time around for a little while there
into from two thousand and eight too, I believe twenty ten.
But you know, none of them have have come remotely
close to equaling the success that Gaston did. I mean,
that comes to show you just how great of a
manager he was in Toronto.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Getty so he.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
Is he was. He became the first African American manager
in Major League Baseball history to win a World Series title.
He managed the Blue Jays from eighty nine to ninety
seven and then again from two thousand and eight to
twenty ten. One of the things that you might not know, though,
is when he was offered the job as a manager,

(32:01):
he didn't want it. I was happy working as the
team's hitting instructor. It was only when his players encouraged
him to take the job did he reconsider the offer
and then eventually take it. He worked, He was very instrumental.

(32:22):
He had financial success allowed for major free agent signings,
including Zach Morris, Dave Winfield ahead of the ninety two series,
Dave Stewart, and Paul Mollecher for ninety three. The Blue
Jays also retained core all stars such as Joe Carter,
Devon White, Roberto Elamore, and John olrud Carter credits guests

(32:45):
and for the team's championships. Sito knows how to work
with each individual, treating everyone like a human being. He
knows exactly what to say, when to say it, what
to do, and how to go about doing it. When
you have a manager like that, it makes you want
to go play for the guy. We'd go to war
for him. What Soito has done for the Blue Jays

(33:06):
can't be taken lightly.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
No question about. That's why I think he belongs in
the Hall of Fame, all right, Josha door Fibruskyn over
if your round listening watching whatever, If you ever want
to come out of the woodwork and talk food. This
is your only opportunity because we do not talk about
food often. But this time I'll give you a reason
why Joey Chestnut can eat a awful lot of hot dogs.
I'll tell you what's talking to Toronto Blue Jays people,

(33:30):
because get this, the Blue Jays fan de bouer a
record breaking Get this number of people ninety two thousand,
two hundred and twenty one hot dogs on one night,
Forty two thousand people showed up in attendance, and that
act averages out to two point one eighty three hot
dog per man. That's an awful lot of beef. Skip,

(33:52):
I'm telling it, Joey Chestnut, tiny ninety two undred twenty
one Like this, you might make how he who looks
steady after these a bouttlem calorie. So there you go,
Joshua Grisi Ruski, You're one and only opportunity because try
it in the chat room talking codecause do it again,

(34:13):
you're gonna get our E A A E d Or
Stevens will give you the R I O T A
C T. All Right with that said, Skip, what you
thought about all those dog He's going down some tummies? Yeah,
I mean the.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
Hot dog eating contest must have been in Toronto that
night for them to consume that many hot dogs. I mean,
you know you're talking about what did you say? Two
point one eight hot dogs per person?

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Two point one eight three? Wow?

Speaker 6 (34:42):
I mean that means that the women are eating half
on and the men are eating three and a half
or four. So that's that's just amazing. You know, I
want to know what kind of what kind of hot
dogs they had?

Speaker 1 (34:58):
When you get your next managerial job up in Toronto,
you let me know and you find me in and
I'll eat a few of those dogs. That's an awful
lot of dogs, didn't it. Skip. That's amazing? Can you
believe that? I tell you, I look at this number,
ninety two thousand and twenty one hot dogs. That's a
five digit lottery number of people. I didn't make this up.

(35:19):
It was thrown in my direction. And that isn't good enough.
You want to preach four digit number two point one
eighty three. I'm I'm giving you all kinds of numbers
to win with tonight, all right.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Rob, I have two things to say about that number.
One was Anthony Savino in Toronto that night? And second
of all, did they take those blue Jay cotton candy
fries as a side?

Speaker 1 (35:46):
I mean, I did to get that idea from your
food topics. But okay, any praisers, I can eat up
to four hot dogs for a city. Get there, Chicago dogs? Okay? Interesting?
You know. And by the way, any fraiser will be
on Monday night with Professor the people joining Stephen and I,
so he'll be honest a guest that night. George, what
do you think about that amount of dogs? That's an
awful lot of dogs.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
It's an awful lot of hot dogs. I know Detroit
likes their hot dogs, is does New Yorkers? In different
style Chicago style. Those hot dogs can go down real fast.
But man, oh man, those are some awesome numbers people. Yeah,
oh my goodness, gracious for one night and a promotion
whatever it was. But yeah, that's a lot of hot dogs. Man.

(36:29):
I'll take mine with mustard only. Oh, onions too, if
you don't mind.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Are you calling those a Cody Island George?

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yeah, I guess with the don't you get the yeah,
don't forget the corner.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Right, George? I know we got one New Yorker in here,
and you're trying to pretend to be like one.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Okay, Eric, I mean I thought dollar dog dat American
family feel was bad. I also thought I also thought
growing up with two brothers racing to the pantry and
getting the food was pretty was pretty bad too. But wow,
it's a lot of hot dogs. I mean, the fact
that they ate all them hot dogs. I'm impressed. I thought,
like Cody, I thought you weren't beating the annual fourth

(37:09):
of July hot dogging contest on Cody Islen.

Speaker 7 (37:11):
But somehow they equaled it.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
I can't. You don't have to do any research on
this one. That's a that's a pretty big number.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
In that.

Speaker 8 (37:22):
I already did a little research.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Come on ahead, all right, So the Blue.

Speaker 8 (37:26):
Jays might have lost the game, but the stomachs of
its fans won in record fashion, depending on how you
feel about the exorbit number of hot dogs being eaten.
But and if we want to give it even more
mathematical about it, if each of the ninety six thousand,
six and thirty three dogs, one is about twelve point

(37:47):
five centimeters in length, were placed in a straight line,
it would equal to a little more than twelve kilometers,
about the same distance between Union and York millis TTC.
These stations give ort ache. So yeah, it's kind of
and it's kind of funny because they have this Looney

(38:07):
Dog Night is held every Tuesday home game, where hot
dogs are sold for just a single dollar around the stadium.
The team keeps track of how many dogs have been
sold and regularly updates fans between innings on the jumbo Tron. Interesting,
same thing that they didn't have nearly the same amount

(38:29):
record though.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
That's an awful lot of calories. That's an awful lot
of dogs. The only thing I don't know is how
much money they made on hot dogs. But knowing Candy
before the end of the show should come up with
that number if we have time for it. Okay, Joshua
and Cybruski and mister Opportunity to come in intelligently on
a topic. But we'll see whether or not you can
make it up later on somewhere along the lines. Hi,

(38:50):
you know I'm gonna dog move tonight right after I
beat up on these two clowns in the first part
of the show. But I'm gonna stay with the Dog team,
And here's what we're gonna do, because we're gonna go
to our first smart topic and that says it's Sweden,
it's illegal to leave your dog alone for more than
six hours. These are shows the dogs do feel time
and extended alleviate's loveliness. Kid calls real astract for dogs. Yep,

(39:19):
do you leave your dog? Do you have a dog?
Or do I do I have?

Speaker 6 (39:22):
I have a white lab and she is the sweetest
lab of all times, and there is no doubt if
you leave her more than an hour, she starts to
stress out.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
So I love that law.

Speaker 6 (39:36):
I I it's got to be hard to do for
the for the working people there, but uh, you know
what an interesting law. And it's great because because dogs
are our man's best friend, there are companions and I
don't know what I would do without my my beautiful,
beautiful girl sage.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
See, I was waiting you for you to come up
with a baseball thing on this, and I'm disappointed. So
I'm gonna help you on this one, though, Gipt, because
I care and you're my brother and I really care
about you. Why do you think they had that promotion
at the ball fort called barking the park people because
of his law? Maybe not? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (40:11):
Yeah, you got to bring you know, I would assume
they have some very lenient uh you know, dog leashes
of laws there, and you can probably take your dog
into supermarkets and all that because you can't leave them
at home.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
I bet I'm trying to give you a baseball to
connected barking the park people. I've been through a lot
of seal. They actually have two attendance counts. They had
the actual human accountanty have the dog. But good from
you man, I'm from my manager that we can apply
baseball over to a non sports and we got barking
the park dogs in Sweden? All right, Rob?

Speaker 5 (40:48):
Yeah, well my dog too. You know you can't leave
them longer than ten minutes. He I'll bring I'll bring
the baseball thing into this. My dog really watches almost
every met game with me. Is that abuse? I don't know,
but he's always on the couch watching a mess with me.

Speaker 6 (41:10):
You're definitely not allowed to do that in Sweden.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
You get put in jail.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
All right, George.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
I don't know if you know about dog or what
do you think of the long doggie?

Speaker 3 (41:21):
It's a doggy dog world.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
Yeah, I grew up when when I was growing up,
we always had a dog, you know, Skippy and Maggie
and Honey were the three names. I always love them,
and yes, they are very very protective, and they're they
they do get very sad real quickly when the master
is not there or the lady of the house, whoever
is the main caretaker.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
If you will, I've seen it happen. I agree that
those things do happen. But they're lovable creatures. I've always
loved dogs.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
Don't have any now, but I always like to visit
for my you know, my daughter, she's got two dogs,
two huskies, and so you know, and my other daughter
and Georgie's got a dog too, So it's always good
to see those dogs when I'm visiting.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Eric.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Oh, well, yeah, I can attest that because my mom
has a has a chiuahua, and it's it likes, it
likes every it likes every It despises everybody else but her.
But she you know, funny thing is when she's gone,
though the dog is all mad enough sex, she'll actually
literally climb up on the on top of the couch
and somehow get up there and just wait.

Speaker 7 (42:28):
And just eye down the door.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Or if she hears a car, she'll scratch at the
door and hope and hope it's my mom. But you know,
I mean, I'm sure in Sweden though, they probably let you.
They probably let you work home because that the last
thing they'd want is for your is for them to
discover a dog there and then all of a sudden
they arrest you while going to work. So it'd imagine
that there's some work from home lean to see.

Speaker 7 (42:49):
There as well. But you know, gosh, why would you know?
What what I mean? Dogs are great man's best friend.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
I mean, you know, I've been trying to get my
bob's to out watch baseball, but it's not it has
not been going well.

Speaker 7 (43:04):
But it's a but yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Why not?

Speaker 7 (43:07):
Yeah, you should leave the dog home all day long anyway.

Speaker 9 (43:09):
So but yeah, leaving it okay, Yes, leaving a dog
alone for more than six hours is illegal in Sweden
under their animal welfare laws, which recognize dogs as social.

Speaker 8 (43:22):
Beings requiring regular companionship and care. This law ensures that
dogs are provided with adequate stimulation, exercise, and interaction, with owners,
often utilizing doggy daycare, pet sitters, or midday visits to
comply with the rules. Repeated or prolonged absences can be

(43:43):
seen as a neglector of abuse leading to potential fines
or confiscation of the dog. One caveat. It is illegal
to leave a dog alone for more than six consecutive
hours without human or canine content. So if you have
two dogs, you can leave them home together, but if

(44:04):
you only have one, you cannot. So I just thought
that was interesting.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Yeah, interesting tidbit. I've been brought up with dogs my
whole life and join them. But you know what I
tell you, life as a cat owner is pretty good too,
because you don't have to worry about All you got
to do is change their litter box and feed them.
And cats, you know what, They're easy. They just candy
has to go out there and put cameras up there
just to watch them play and get entertainment away. I

(44:30):
love cats, don't get me wrong. I've loved dogs and
born and raised with them, and they are definitely man's
best friend woman and that friend. I'm a cat lover too,
That's all I can tell you. Cats are smart dogs.
You know they're they're affractionate, give them that. I'm a
cat lover all right. But you know what Skip talked
about the Miami Marlins. We're going to talk about them

(44:50):
again now, and that's this Marlin's in the Houston Astros
made a trade where Houston received Hayesus Sanchez, Miami Steve
Ryan starting pitcher Ryan Gusto as a starting pitcher. Miami
also got in return prospects chased to Warski who single
a and ASML Valencia Mattea. Those two projects are going

(45:13):
to make it to the major leagues and no time
the way to Marlin bring people up skip. How do
you like to trade for both sides?

Speaker 6 (45:20):
Yeah, you know, I don't know a ton about the
you know, all of these players, but I'm sure that
you know anytime you're you're trying to make a trade,
you want some impact, some longer, long term impacts. So
I love going and getting these young players that are
on the cusp of the big leagues and seeing what happens.
I think that's always a good trade. And uh, you know,

(45:43):
you want to always try to get these up and
coming young kids because you know one of them might
end up, you know, putting up you know, Pete Alonzo
rookie year at some point. So you know, get as
many young players as you can and see see how
many of them pan out for you.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Well, the thing about these two kids I'm talking about
Valencia Dorothy is the single A. Now they'll be in
double A. Let me tell you the one thing about
the Miami Marlins farm system. They move them up pretty
quick and they develop really well. They don't have the
funds obviously as any big market team, so their developmental
program is just unbelievable. I've seen it firsthand. So watch
out Valencia. Na Jeworska can be up in no time. Goosel,

(46:27):
on the other hand, is another guy who's able to
help immediately. And Hayzu Sanchez you say, bombs on the
loan people part, Rob.

Speaker 5 (46:35):
Yeah, I think that's a good trade for Miami. I mean,
you never know what's going to go on with these
young kids. We've seen, you know, so many times when
they don't pan out. But but he Sanchez hasn't done
that great for Houston, right, He's only has i think
three home runs and he's batting under two laundreds. So
you know, so far, you know, Miami might might be

(46:58):
the winner, but it's it's too early to tell.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
George.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
Yeah, I mean these kind of trades, I mean, then
you summed it up, it's too really to tell it
takes years to develop these guys. We all know that,
and Scott, you're right on that as always. The Marlins, Yeah,
they have a a good knack of getting these kids
up and advanced much quicker than some of the other
teams do, including this team. I see a lot of

(47:26):
in Detroit, uh, which takes a long time to develop.
But I think the trade itself, yeah, I you know,
it's one of those things where, yeah, who's gonna benefit most,
But it takes time on a trade like that to
see what the immediate results are going to be. Uh,
you have to see what the kids can do. I
think it's good though, anytime you can get your hands on,
like you said, Skip and you too, Rob, you know,

(47:48):
you get your hands on young talent like that.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Uh, that's a good thing for for for a team
that's up and coming. Eric.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Well, it hasn't been going well for really Houston in
right now because he's use Sanchez only batten up buck
ninety eight right now for them. That's part of the
reason why why Houston's having a little choke job of
their own. Which I can't say that I'm complaining the
you know, it's you know, who knows what those guys,
you know, it's it's it's very much it's very much
like they're very much lottery tickets right now to see

(48:19):
for for all intensive purposes. But Peter Bendix comes from Tampa,
where you know, they were developed and got went in
there in their prime, they were developing. They kept on
spitting out prospects like it was like it was like
it was a shot of fireball on a bad Friday night.

Speaker 7 (48:37):
It was it was, you know, it was incredible.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
And Peter Bendick kind of knows what he wants, you know,
he's got he's got an idea of what of what
he needs in order to be successful.

Speaker 7 (48:47):
I mean he learned in Tampa what to do.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
I mean, you know, he also he also like clearly
has a direction for this team, which was kind of
hard to see. But I think the directions kind of
starting to become more more clear because the Marlins are
actually a much better team than people than people thought
they would be this year.

Speaker 7 (49:06):
But you know, we'll see how they We'll see how
they pan out.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
But I wouldn't I wouldn't doubt Peter Bennix in this
one because he knows the kind of player that he
wants for his for his team, and.

Speaker 7 (49:15):
We'll just have to wait and see.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Although Hayeu Sanchez better get his back going other otherwise
I'm gonna otherwise, I'm going to be having a field
day on Astros fans if they missed the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Sure you will. Well, this topic was meant to be
on this show after what you just said. All right, Candy.

Speaker 8 (49:31):
The Marlins have a way of getting what they can
out of these young players. Let's face it, Xavier Edwards
last year hit for the cycle. Who would have thought
that Kyle Stowers is doing really well for the Marlins
this year until he got injured, but he wanted on
a chair. They somehow they know how to develop some

(49:58):
of these young players. And let's face it, Aaron Judge
at one point was a rookie. Ye On Soto was
a rookie. Everyone is a rookie at some point. It's
just a matter of how many rookies do you hit
on and which ones don't you. I mean, Houston gave
up his number thirteenth prospect in MLB's pipeline for Jesus Sanchez.

(50:23):
I've watched Jesus play numerous times in Miami. Did I
think this was a good trade for the Marlins. Yeah,
because they got a couple of different prospects. Jesus is
not an all star out there, but he has speed,
but he's not hitting very well and he never has.

(50:45):
So for the Marlins to get a couple of prospects
that if they hit on one or two of them,
that's great. And yes, do we know yet if they've
hit on them or not? No, not yet, but time
will tell.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Yeah, I think the Marlin's made out like man a
tennis raper. Sure, all right. The Texas Rangers, how Brett
Boone is their hitting coach. Early the year, Skiff Pittier
talks about that move.

Speaker 6 (51:06):
Yeah, I love this, you know, I like especially hitting coaches,
especially hitting coaches, right. I like the guys that are
in the dugout that have had success in the big leagues.
I think that the players really buy into that. You know, Pitching,
I think is a little bit different. You know, pitching

(51:27):
is more about delivering information. This guy can do that,
this guy can do this, here's how, you know, ideal
set of mechanics. But when you're a hitting coach, there's
a lot going on in the dugout being talked about
and Hey, let's take this approach.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Hey he's doing this.

Speaker 6 (51:45):
So guys that have been there and done that, you know,
I think they make the best hit the best hitting
coaches out there. So you know, one of one of
the best hitting coaches I've ever been around was Chili Davis,
and he was amazing. The players loved him. He was
always giving them these little tidbits. I'd sit here and
listen to him to my right in the dugout, talking

(52:07):
to those hitters as they go on deck, and you know,
kind of blew me away at the information that Chili
was able to give them in game to try and
make adjustments and how to approach this certain at bat.
You're getting four at bats. You know, pitching coaches you
kind of leave the guys alone and you kind of
just like, Okay, here's your game plan. You talk to

(52:27):
the catcher probably more in game than you would a pitcher.
But these hitting coaches, they got to talk to those
batters constantly throughout the game, and when you've been there
and done that, those players buy into that more than
they would a guy that doesn't rob.

Speaker 5 (52:45):
Yeah, I like the move. I mean I like Boone
as a player. I liked him when he was on
the Cincinnati Reds, he was an excellent hitter. He hit
two hundred and fifty two home runs. So I think
it was a great move. And we saw what it
did for the Rangers after he took over the hitting coach,
you know, they started to hit better. So I think

(53:06):
it was a good move for Texas Georgia.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
Yeah, I think it was a good move.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Also.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
You know, that's a great family in baseball.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
As we know, the Boone family has been really really
good for the game of.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
Baseball these years.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
You can't have enough good hitting coaches, guys and lady,
you can't. I mean, you know, everywhere you look around.
I mean it's a tough, tough job to be a
hitting instructor, as you know, Skip, and when you get
a real good one, you definitely want to keep sure
that he sticks with you as many years as you
can and as many contracts as you can get from

(53:45):
to stick around because I'll tell you what, you know,
the art of hitting is something else, as we all know.
And when you got to get somebody in there or
and now we have multiple hitting instructors as you all know,
on the team, not just one anymore. But it's a
it's a great, it's a it's a great and very
valuable position times two, two or three on each team.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
I mean Boone and Brett Boone has done a fantastic
job with the Rangers turning around. That turnaround, that offense
actually was a big reason why they actually were kind
of in the kind of in the in the in
contending for a little bit there and here and playing
some relevant baseball here in September.

Speaker 7 (54:28):
Man being a hitting coach is hard.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
I mean, you know, it's it's hard because actually I
heard a great story where I think I forget his name,
but he was the hitting coach of the San Diego
Padres at the time when they had Cam Camannitti and Tony,
Tony Gwyn, Steve Finley, all the like the likes of
those guys. And you know what a media guys like,
it must be great. Your job must be easy when

(54:51):
when you have a lineup like that. His quote was,
there's always one guy struggling, So there's always one. But
it's not easy. I mean, hit a baseball is hard.
I mean, Michael, great athletes, Well we'll tell you that.

Speaker 7 (55:03):
That's all right. You just asked guys like Deion Sanders
and Michael Jordan.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
They will tell you is the most difficult thing to
do in uh, in baseball. I mean the fact that
guys like guys like Aaron Judge and others make it
look so easy. It's just it's just beyond beyond the
is beyond reason. But you know, again, you know Brett
Boone and he's you know, I was expecting him to
go into being a coach because you know, he had
a he had a great podcast before and Boone himself

(55:29):
had a solid career and was an All Star three times.
I remember him with being in being in Seattle where
where he had a lot of success. But you know, again,
you know, it's a family of baseball. I mean, obviously
I know Aaron, you know, with Aaron's with the Yankees,
which for for better or worse depending on who you ask,

(55:50):
it's but yeah, Boone's Brett. Boone's obviously having a lot
of success, and he's I think he's connected well with
the players, and I think both you found a good one.
And if and if Boach decide to leave Texas like
he's rumored to do, somebody's gonna hire him.

Speaker 7 (56:04):
I promise you.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
As soon as he's available, somebody will hire him. Given
the work that he's done in Texas. Somebody is going
to go get that is going to go and get him.

Speaker 7 (56:13):
I promise you, all right, Candy.

Speaker 8 (56:17):
In ninety two, Boone became the first ever third generation
Big leaguer in baseball history as a member of an
all star family. He is the son of Bob Boone,
a catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies California Angels in Kansas
City Roads. Let's face it, as a kid, when you're
growing up, what are you doing. You're playing baseball with

(56:39):
your dad. Your dad's a catcher. Who better to learn
about hitting than from a catcher that's catching and trying,
you know, and has the one of the best views
of all these pitches coming in, so he can help
teach you the different pitches and how to hit the
different pitches and where to hit you know, the pitches.

(57:00):
And let's face it, his grandfather also played, you know,
so he comes long line of a great family of
baseball knowledge. So why not, Yes, this is hitting difficult.
Of course it is because you're paying pitchers to pitch,
so you don't hit like so, But I think learning

(57:24):
how to bat from somebody who learned from his dad
about catching and the different kinds of because let's face it,
a catcher can tell you what kind of pitch it
is coming in. And I think it's just it's a
unique perspective and I think good for him. Kudos to Toronto.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Yeah, I'll all say about this thing as we move
on here. And we all know that Bruce Bochi made
a great move by hiring Brett Boone. The only one
that I could think it would be as good as
hitting coach is Don matically We all know Don manningly
hit the ball real well, but Brett Boone was a
heck of a higher Let's say what the Texas Rangers,
then we'll go to the station break top break for them, though,
Twist Young told reporters and Nathan Eovaldi there's a rotator

(58:07):
cuff strain and is out for the season. There's a
one point seven three ERA through twenty two starts this season. Ship,
you're a pitching guy, A couple of the Rangers without Nathan.

Speaker 6 (58:19):
Yeah, and obviously he was having a tremendous year. You
don't want to lose, you know, anyone like that at
any time, much less, you know, towards the end of
the season. So you know, that's that makes it tough
for them, but you know, you know, hopefully they built
their roster where they can overcome that a little bit.

Speaker 5 (58:39):
Yeah, really, how do you replace that? He had one
hundred and twenty nine strikeouts, like you said, one point
seventy three e r A eleven and three. And it's
a big blow for the Rangers, you know, it's it's
just a big.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Blow, George.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
Yeah, obviously he is probably irreplaceable, and that's uh, that's
a blow to the team and to the fans. But
you know, as they say, there's always next year. You
wait and you hope for the best. We're seeing so
many pitchers getting out, getting out of the game, injuries
and surgery. It's just becoming a litany of unfortunate circumstance

(59:18):
for a pitcher pitching his pictures across the major league
level and even in the miners of course too.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
I mean, it's a tough blow for Texas though, I
mean they were when Nate Valdi was there, they were
kind of in that, they were kind of in that race.
But now it's now it might just become like a
what if, you know, what if Nati Valdy didn't get
hurt because he was because you know, he for a
while there he was kind of bouncing around the league
and the next thing you know, he's kind of find
he kind of find a home in Texas and is
a big part of that world that World Series run

(59:46):
for them. But it's a tough blow because you know
him and him and d Grom were, you know, especially
with the Grom back they they were, they were both
pretty nasty up top of that rotation. But you know, hope,
hope for the best for Nate because obviously Nate had
you know, Nate clearly had something good going from him
and with the with the Rangers, and it's just a
tough blow.

Speaker 7 (01:00:04):
I mean, you don't want to lose.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
An ace like picture like him late in the year
because you know that could that can easily you know,
send your send your season into a pre fall like
like it already hasn't in Texas, Candy.

Speaker 8 (01:00:17):
You hate to see guys go down with injuries no
matter what time of year, but this time of year
even more so. But kudos to the year that he's
already had, Like that year is just phenomenal. But yeah, unfortunately,
I mean it's just too bad this time of year
for that kind of injury to hit so hard. I mean,

(01:00:39):
one of your best pictures. I mean it's hard to
overcome them.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Yeah, Texas Rangers getting the playoffs. I don't know proof
Boat you would ever get considered for a Manager of
the Year before. I have to think he'd be a
strong possibility with the group to the ass for sure.
I agree that, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if
he winds his way out of Texas. But regardless of
whatever happens with Proof Bowl to legacy there, he's already
won world championship for the Texas Rangers organization never had

(01:01:05):
one as a Evaldi. That's just too bad, it really is.
But you know what this guy to me was an
was snubbed I think for the All Star Game, and
I believe that Texas gave him the money that he
should have. He would have gotten for a bonus anyway,
So it couldn't happen to a better picture for Texas away.
They've treated in first class for sure. So that's that

(01:01:26):
we're going to go to a station break. We have
a lot more to come in the second hour.

Speaker 8 (01:01:29):
Candy, go ahead, South Florida Tribute Publishing Company published a book,
Lessons from the Microphone, Tuning into the Enduring Wisdom of
Visionary Leaders. It is written by your host, Scott the
Motor City Madam Morgan Roth, and the forward is written

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
Back to you, Scott, Well done, Candy. Since around a
roll with pitching will continue that role the Cubs have
claimed right handed starter Aaron Savali off waivers from the
White Sox. Tom Cosgrove, the left handed believer, was designated
for assignment. The Volley thirty began to see that with
the Milwaukee Brewers was trader to the White Sox after

(01:02:55):
refusing to switch to the bullpen in eighteen games. He
had was five point two sixty or eighty nine innings
pitch in seventy four ks. So Eric won, I'll let
you lead off for this one. Here your talks about
where Aaron Savali he's at at the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Well, it gave the Brewers Andrew Vaughan, so I can't
say I'm complaining about.

Speaker 7 (01:03:14):
And the funny thing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Is, though, is he's he's he refused to be in
the bullpen in Milwaukee when Misserraski, when Jacob Miserrawski came up,
and so he demanded so he asked to be traded,
which it kind of came about la NBA style, And
next thing.

Speaker 7 (01:03:30):
You know, he's pitching in the bullpen with the Cubs.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
I mean, clearly, the guy was an epic fail on
the South side of Chicago. When he's pitching in the
bullpen in the north side of Chicago. All I can
do is just laugh at the guy somewhat because he
gave us. He gave us a revamped Andrew. He gave
the Brws and revamped Andrew vad And you know, ever
since then, you know, the bru the Brewers have been
moving along nicely, recently clinched the division, while the while

(01:03:56):
the Cubs have had it's been kind of an up
and down September for them.

Speaker 8 (01:04:00):
Candy, Yeah, I mean, like Eric said, he the Brewers
didn't want to move him. He didn't want to be moved,
so they moved on for him from him. You know,
the Cubs just trying to any little thing they can
do to get an edge. They're going to try and
do it. And I don't blame him for it. I
just don't know he'll give him the edge that they're

(01:04:22):
looking for.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
Ski.

Speaker 6 (01:04:26):
Yeah, you know, Saval's had some some decent years in
the big leagues. And I think anytime you can kind
of get a guy for free that has some experience
pitching the postseason a little bit, you go get him.
See if he pans out. You know, you didn't have
to give get much for you give much for him,
so you get him. You see if he pans out
and if he doesn't, it's it's no skin off your back.

Speaker 5 (01:04:49):
Right Rob, Yeah, I agree, win win for the Brewers, right, George.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
Yeah, No, I get.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
I'm always intrigued by the crosstown switches from the Cubs
in the White Sox and back and forth on that. Eric,
have you ever done a story on that or research
that how many of those trades are acquisitions? That would
be an interesting thing to do. You know, Milwaukee's better
off Milwaukee. He just looks like great right now, there's
like everything. It's like it's called the mit has touched,

(01:05:23):
the mic has touched so far for the Brewers in
this twenty twenty five season. And let's see if it
could continue. And the scene goes for this this this acquisition.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
All right, low riskin reward, That's what I have to say.
That's where we're at with that. To go under the
no hitter of the night, they always like to talk
about no hair, to get to talk about one, Iichorn
might be familiar with this guy. I know a lot
of people are happened on August twenty first, twenty fifteen,
Mike fires no hits the Dodgers. Eric some talks about
Mike Fires.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
I mean, Mike Fires is probably good. I mean good
that he adds. Good that he was able to do that,
because otherwise his leg he's going to be when he
out when he outed the ash, when he out of
the Astros very publicly, and we got ourselves selves signs dealing,
which which people haven't forgiven him forgiven the Astro since.
But you know, obviously you know, no hitter, I mean
it's great, great to add to the lega great to

(01:06:14):
add to your time in the game.

Speaker 7 (01:06:16):
Not everybody does it. It's hard, it's hard to do.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
I mean we've seen players this year flirt with it
and all and they haven't even and and none of
them have been able.

Speaker 7 (01:06:25):
To finish the deal.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
I guess the baseball gods do not want a no
hitter this year, so they're preventing it from happening. But yeah,
it's just, uh, you know, good for Fires, you know,
good to add something else to the side of him,
but have an otherwise a legacy where he did baseball favor.

Speaker 8 (01:06:43):
When did he pitch.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
One Scott fifteen?

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
When did he pitch on August twenty first?

Speaker 8 (01:06:52):
And he pitched a second one in twenty nineteen, So
he actually has two no hitters.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
Yeah, very good.

Speaker 8 (01:06:59):
Kudos to him. A lot of pitchers don't even pitch one,
but he pitched two. He was selected the twenty second
round by the Milwaukee Brewers of the two thousand and
nine Major League Baseball Draft. But kudos to him for
pitching no hitters because that's not an easy feat to do,

(01:07:20):
especially let's face it, nowadays, it's really hard because most
of the time they're gonna pull you before you get
through the whole game. So kudos to him.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
Great stuff, Katie Gland. He came up the second one skip.

Speaker 6 (01:07:34):
Yeah, I mean Mike Fires had really good stuff, right.
I've got to, you know, coach against him when he
was pitching. You know, that arm angle, that real high slot,
you know, really made the ball move in different ways
than your standard you know, right handed pitcher. Two no
hitters on your career is an outstanding feat. This is

(01:07:56):
the beautiful thing about baseball. He's thrown two no hitters
and he goes and plays in Mexico to keep on playing.
I mean there, he's got to be the only player
that's thrown two no hitters and played in Mexico After
the no hitters. He's got to be you know this,
That's why I love the game of baseball, because you
if you love it, you're gonna go play it no

(01:08:18):
matter where you are. What a what a great accomplishment
by him. He obviously loves the game, wants to keep
on playing for as long as he can or did,
and uh, you know that that's awesome. Good for him.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Skip, we'll have to talk about that on our Mexican
show as also. Yeah, reminder, we'll do that, Seve me
a text reminder later when you get a chance, and
there'll be something that we talked about later. Rob for everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:08:42):
Rob two no hitters, and you know, his second no
hitter was the three hundredth no hitter in Major league history.
But I I like what Mickey said, you know, he
pitches two no hitters and then he ends up playing
in Mexico that that's like really unheard. That's to me,
that's just an amazing fact.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
George, Yeah, it is an amazing fact.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
I mean, you know, Mike Fires has been uh you know,
bouncing around teams and and now he's seems like he's
happy down in that Mexican league.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
That's good for him. Two no hitters is nothing to
sneeze at. There's that's as.

Speaker 4 (01:09:22):
A lead company when you start talking about multiple no
hitters in your career, no question about it.

Speaker 8 (01:09:28):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
But other than that, he was pretty much an average
pitcher in in the in Major League Baseball in his career.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
Well, I know, the Tigers had him for a short
period of time and he's performed aver lead well for
them as well. So great stuff. We'll go ahead and
we're going to talk about Xander Bogarts. How likely do
you think that how much do you think that San
Diego Padres missing and Bogarts and by the way to
work placed on injury reserve? Oh were they left foot pressure?

(01:09:55):
And by the way, just so you know, and he
could return by the postseason, erics, it's about Xander Bogert.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
I mean, you know, x is a big part of
that Padre is big part of that Padres lineup. I
mean it's just, you know, they it's just their Their
offense has not been great this year, despite having guys
like Manny Machalla, Luisa Rias, Jackson Barrow, I mean, obviously
Grant and obviously adding Roan O'Hearn from Baltimore. But you
know again, x kind of X is a guy that
really sets the table for them up up top. And

(01:10:23):
you know, just missing Matt bat this late in the
year is crucial because, like, you know, you're off because
he does a really good job at just you know,
set setting up the offense for guys like Fernando Tatist
Junior and Manny Machado just to bash and they and
not having that guy has really hurt them this year.
And and I don't you know, obviously a lot can
happen in the postseason, but you know, missing a bat

(01:10:45):
in the postseason is not a position you want to
be in, especially given how rugged the National League is
going to become the postseason.

Speaker 6 (01:10:52):
Yeah, yeah, Xander Bogart's you know, I've always had the
utmost respect for him, the way he plays the game,
you know, the person he is. You know, they're missing
a leader now, right. It's not just somebody that can
you know, kind of set the table for the big guys,
but you know, a leader out on the field. The
way he played, like I said, the way he plays
the game. And know he's respected by all of his teammates.

(01:11:15):
And when you lose a guy like that, you know,
that that makes it really tough, and hopefully he can
get back and you know, help them out at some
point because he's a big part of their team.

Speaker 5 (01:11:28):
Yeah, I agree, and it would be great if he
if he did come back for the postseason. But imagine
where San Diego might be if he didn't get hurt.
You know, if he doesn't get hurt, I think it's
a pretty good chance that they're in first place and
not the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
George.

Speaker 4 (01:11:50):
Yeah, he's got a career to eighty seven average over
eighteen hundred hits in his career, one hundred and ninety
six have been home runs, eight and thirty three RBI.
I mean, this guy, you know, this guy is is
a vital part of anybody's lineup, especially the Padres. And
like you guys said, I mean, that's a tourd race
out there in the in the nash League West, and

(01:12:14):
it's going to be a dogfight. The playoffs are going
to be so exciting. But I'll tell you what. They
surely hope that they can get him back. He's a
four time All Star. You know that those are the
kinds of players that are very, very hard to replace,
as we all know, in an everyday lineup. So the
X Man. I hope the X Man comes back for
the Padres sake.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
Eric, you already talked about this, right, Yes, Okay, who's
loft candy?

Speaker 8 (01:12:40):
Yes, glad, so Scott to throw out an extra for him.
On April twenty ninth of twenty twenty three, Bogert hit
a home run in MLB's Mexico City Series, becoming the
first player in Major League history to hit home runs

(01:13:02):
in four different countries the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom,
and Mexico. So that's kind of a cool different feat
that he accomplished. But of course they're going to miss him.
I mean any injured player. I mean, let's face it,
he's he's playing on a heute. I mean, in December

(01:13:23):
ninth of twenty twenty two, he signed eleven year, two
hundred and eighty million dollar contract. Anytime you're missing a
player that's of that caliber, you know it's hard to replace.
And they're missing him, and hopefully they get him back,
because you know, you always want to have all your
all your guys and the time that it counts down

(01:13:45):
the street.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
Well of Boston, Red Sox, let Don Orcillo get away.
The broadcaster. I'll tell you, I'll bet they wish they
still had him, and he asked Lexander Bogart's San Diego
got a good one there. So yeah, I have a
feeling that he'll they get him back for the postseason,
that Padres will be a tough ut Sure. So with
that said, we'll go back to pitching. Kent to my Aida,

(01:14:08):
remember him plans to retire from MLB, return to the ENDPB.
We already talked about this after the twenty twenty five season.
But so what are your thoughts Eric about Kent tell
my Aida going back to the the Nippon Professional Baseball.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
I mean, that's where a lot of you know, especially
when when guys are like done kind of like in
their running, America's.

Speaker 7 (01:14:31):
Where it's where.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
It's where they typically go back to the home country
because obviously the league there is a lot different than
than Major League Baseball. The you know, the fields are smaller,
the ball is different, you know it really you know,
it's a it's something familiar for him. If he wants
to keep his career going, you know, have at it.
But you know, yet, you know, if his career was
you know, was not not spectacular, I mean obviously, Uh, obviously,

(01:14:55):
it just wasn't a It just wasn't meant to be here.
But you know he wants to keep his career going
in his home country.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Why not yep?

Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
Yeah, I mean, you know, he got to play in
the big leagues, right, and then that's everybody's dream, whether
you're playing in Korea or Japan. He got to come
over here, experience, have some decent success, and he's probably
elated to go back home where he's comfortable and you know,
just you're back with you with your food and your

(01:15:24):
family and your fans. It's very hard to go and
play overseas. It doesn't matter that it's the big leagues
or you're going from you know wherever to Korea and playing.
You know, I got to play over in Korea for
three seasons. It's a challenge and you can't wait to
get back home at some point, I'm sure you know
now that he's done it, he's been there, he's experienced it,

(01:15:47):
he gets to go home. He's going to be the
hometown hero and whatever team he plays on, they're going
to love him. Every time he pitches. They're gonna cheer
real loud. It's going to be a great experience for
him for the rest of his career, and I'm happy
for him.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
Rob.

Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
Yeah, I agree, he's going home. I mean he he
had an all right career sixty eight and fifty six
eer a little high four point two. Oh, but you
know what, that's what happens. He's going home to Japan.
And once again, I agree what Mickey says. You no
matter where you play, if you're from a different country,

(01:16:23):
at some point, you know you want to go home
and you know, go back to your life at home.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
George, well, yeah, I can see that too.

Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
I mean, you know, obviously the Tigers took a gamble
on him. He was the last major league club that
he really was with twenty twenty four to twenty five,
and now he's.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Going back home.

Speaker 4 (01:16:49):
I mean, you know, when you look at his stats,
when you look at those wins, he's won ninety seven
ninety seven games in Asia and then sixty eight in
the American I mean in the major leagues. I mean,
this guy's he's pitched a long time. Really now he's
got a great urn run average two point thirty nine

(01:17:10):
when he's back home, and uh, not so good as
as you just mentioned.

Speaker 8 (01:17:14):
Rob.

Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
Four to zero in MLB. But yeah, I mean it's
an opportunity. Hey, anybody it's got an opportunity to go
back home and also where you know you're loved and
you're admired. I mean, what the heck? I mean, that's
a that's a win win for him. It's just unfortunate
the last few years have not worked out well for

(01:17:35):
him in MLB.

Speaker 8 (01:17:38):
Candy, what's left to say? Everybody on the panel has
taken everything from So.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Yeah, no, I mean, oh yeah, you didn't have much
of research on this, like you do everything else.

Speaker 8 (01:17:53):
On May sixteenth, twenty five, find a minor league contract
with the Cubs. In twelve starts for the Triple A
Iowa Cubs, he logged a three to four record with
a five point nine to seven ERA, with forty five
strikeouts across fifty seven and a half innings pitch. He

(01:18:16):
was released by the Cubs on August second. On August
fourth of twenty twenty five, he signed a minor league
contract with the New York Yankees organization and joined the
Triple A Scratt and Wilkes Bar rail Riders. So but
do I give him? I mean, let's face it, you know,

(01:18:38):
whenever you go to a different country and play for
a while, at some point you just want to go
back home. You just want to be home, close to family.
And you never know how you know, he's thirty seven
years old. You don't know the health of his family,
and that might be playing into you know, his decision
making as well. So kudos to him for going back.

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
I'm more power to them. So you know what, We're
gonna stay in Japan because now I want some history
so everybody can learn something. We like to do that
feature once every night, and we're going to do it
at this time. We're doing it in Japan. Why are
we going to do Japan? Because it's the right thing
to do. So here you have it, our history on
this date for the night by Japan. Ready, here we go.

(01:19:24):
August thirtieth, nineteen seventy eight. Sanaharro hits just eight hundredth
home run and he played in the you guess it,
Nippon Professional Baseball and he played for the Yomi or
E Giants. Step how about that eight hundred home runs?
And they were illegal although yes, the ballparks are right,

(01:19:45):
but they are legal. Or your thoughts about the fact
that Santahara oh goes ahead hits eight hundred of these
bad boys.

Speaker 6 (01:19:54):
Yeah, you know, Sadahara Oh is a legend in Asian
baseball for sure. You know, I heard about him when
I was playing over in Korea. You know, he was
ended up being a coach for a long time there
in the Nipping Professional League. And he has so his
kind of you know, batting style. He actually tried to

(01:20:17):
swing really flat like he was swinging a Samurai sword.
So I guess he practiced a lot with a Samurai
sword like he was just cutting through the baseball was
kind of his philosophy, and he kind of taught that
when he was a hitting coach over there in Asia
and obviously worked out for him. What great power he

(01:20:37):
had eight hundred home runs. That's that's amazing in any league.
That's amazing if you're sitting there playing and you know,
men's legion ball for your whole life to do that,
So that what a great, amazing career. He is definitely
a legend over there. And you know, you gotta you
gotta love when when guys have that kind of success

(01:21:01):
because they've worked so hard at their craft.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
Well, you got all what the Japanese baseball they put
a lot of great players in. We talked about one
of them show Heyl Tana the other day. We talked,
we're gonna talk about another one a little later, like yes,
Laura power tools, sadaha, oh, Rob.

Speaker 5 (01:21:17):
Yes, they used to call him the Japanese Hank Aaron.
I remember when I was a kid, they used to
show clips of him, I think on ABC's Wild World
of Sports, and I remember just being amazed at watching
these clips. And I remember he hit that eight hundredth
home run, which, like, like Mickey said, that's amazing. Anywhere

(01:21:40):
eight hundred home runs, that's unbelievable, George.

Speaker 4 (01:21:47):
Yeah, he's eighty five years old now, and uh he's
got that eight hundred and sixty eight home runs, more
than more than one hundred more than the MLB all
time leader, of course, is Barry Bonds. Yeah, this guy
is a legend. He's a living legend. He has been
a legend for so many, so many years, centuries, almost

(01:22:09):
a whole country and eighty five years old, man.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
He he is. Yeah, I do remember that. Rob. I'm
glad you.

Speaker 4 (01:22:15):
Brought that up about the the Japanese version of Hank Aaron.
That that that is something that I remember when they
used to show the highlights and and show his home runs,
like you said, ABC Wilde World of Sports would cover
that and and show those two on on on the
Tube on Saturdays. And but yeah, great man, And I'm
glad you brought him up, Scott, because yeah, he's a

(01:22:37):
he's a legend, all time legend, no question, Eric.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
I mean, it's out of horror, oh, I mean, you know,
eight Hunter home runs is a heck of a number.

Speaker 7 (01:22:48):
Don't care what league it's in. You know, that's that's
hard to do.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
But you know, he's you know, you know, you know,
I saw him on something on TV about him and
as early as early as recent as twenty twenty three,
and for being in your in his like mid eighties,
he still looks pretty good.

Speaker 7 (01:23:05):
You know, he's you know, he clearly means a lot.
He's he's a very revered figure in Japan.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
He's, you know, considered one of the greatest Japanese baseball
players of all time. You know, some people call him
the Japanese Babe Ruth, the Japanese Hank Era.

Speaker 7 (01:23:17):
Whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
That guy could hit him out. And the fact that
he managed the game and was a hitting coach shows
you just how dedicated he was to the sport.

Speaker 1 (01:23:28):
Candy.

Speaker 8 (01:23:29):
His playing career spanned over four decades. In addition to
the world career home record, O set many other NPB
batting records, including runs batted in at twenty one hundred
and seventy, slugging percentage at point sixty thirty four, bases
on balls twy three hundred and ninety on base plus

(01:23:52):
slugging percentage one point zero eight zero, and in nineteen
seventy seven, he became the first recip of the People's
Honor Award. He was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall
of Fame back in nineteen ninety four.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
Well also be said greats of all time in Japan.
All right, Well, you know, Kenny and I used to
cover to the Miami Hurricane football team. But guess what
we're gonna talk about the Miami Hurricanes baseball team. Jared Sulton.
Monakia has been named the director of Program Development for
the Canes baseball program. Played twelve years in the major leagues,

(01:24:31):
also had a world He's a World Series champion, like
get this. Before he took this position, he also managed
to get in his rookie season in the Kate Codd League.
He obviously his managent in comes naturally as what they're
saying up there because of the fact that he identifies talent,

(01:24:54):
scouting and recruiting, a natural for the Cane's position. So, Skiff,
I'm going to talk to you about this first. Okay,
you've been in this. Jerry Saltolamachia began as Cape Codd
League manager, is what he did. And again, the one
thing you definitely need to be prepared for this job
is you have to be able to identify talent, right,

(01:25:17):
and then you have scouting and recruiting. So do you
think that he's a natural for the Miami Hurricane position,
knowing full well that he's now in term of their
director of program development.

Speaker 6 (01:25:30):
Yeah, I mean, obviously Miami has always had or historically
had a great, great baseball program, and for them to
go identify Jared to come help them out, I think
there's there's a lot of pluses in this. Obviously you
talked about the ability to identify players, and you know

(01:25:51):
he's going to be a great recruiting tool, right, especially
if you want to go get some you know players,
you got an x twelve year Major league on your
staff over there that can really help you out. I
know Jared a little bit. I got to talk to
him quite a bit, got to watch him play coach
against him, and that that's going to be a great
addition for them. I think that anytime you can get

(01:26:14):
you know, an ex major league or on a coaching staff,
and this doesn't happen often. I think a lot of
coaching staffs are are kind of intimidated if you if
you get a big league guy, because they don't want to,
you know, get get their toes stepped on. I don't
think Jared would do that. That's awesome that they went
and got him. He'll help the recruiting process. He'll definitely

(01:26:37):
help them navigate games. You'll help the pitchers, who help
the catchers will help the hitters, right, I mean, he's
an ex catcher and he's got he's going to be
able to give advice to, you know, all the important positions,
and he's gonna definitely going to make them a better,
better baseball program.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
Eric, I mean, miam the Miami Hurricanes baseball team is
one of the most legendary programs in college baseball. But
the fact that they got Jared Salton Molackey. I think
it's gonna make them that much better.

Speaker 7 (01:27:06):
Keep in mind, though, when he was managing the Cape Cod.

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
League, which is considered the best summer collusion baseball baseball
league in the country. You know, he's managing a team
that was just put together, like you know these guys,
you know these play these you know these front of
these small front offices will call off the colleges and
see about getting getting players on on those rosters. And
obviously they have to deal with pitching limits because they
don't want to rip their arms up, rip their arms.

Speaker 7 (01:27:30):
Up, so you got to deal with that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
But the fact that he was managed to do all
that along with a team that's just kind of randomly
put together though, and was able to connect with guys
and have some success is truly amazing.

Speaker 7 (01:27:42):
And imagine what he's going.

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
To do with a team that's been together for a
little while, where the players practically already know each other,
some of them came to college together, others have been
in the program a little while. And putting an X
Major league putting an X Major leaguer on that on
that on that coaching staff is going to give him
the recruiting edge now as far as stepping on toes though,
I would imagine that probably that probably it came up
during the interview as far as you know, knowing knowing

(01:28:06):
your lay of the land, I'm sure that was talked about.
But you know, I've seen I've seen Jared play, I've
heard him, heard him a little bit, hurt.

Speaker 7 (01:28:14):
Him a little bit on the TV.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
You know, pretty pretty well spoken as far as far
as I'm concerned, and he'll, you know, I think he'll
do a good job for him again at the University
of Miami is already a great college baseball program and
has a has had numerous players, numerous players as well
as great Major leaguers kind of come through that program.
And I think that Miami just Miami got a good

(01:28:36):
one and they're just going to be that much better.

Speaker 7 (01:28:38):
I mean, they're they're already a hard.

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
Out every every college World Series and every regional So
you know, I think that they were they got the
edge recruiting wise right now.

Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
Rob, Yeah, I agree. It's all about the recruitment. You
have an ex major league catcher who also was on
the twenty thirteen worlds Hip championship team, so it's a
great move with you know a great program, and this
is a great move anytime you could get an next
major league or it really helps the recruitment. Like everyone

(01:29:10):
else said.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
George, oh boy, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 4 (01:29:15):
That one stat here Cape cod oh my goodness, produced
a record number of Cape League All stars, saw twenty
one player selected in the MLB draft, including three in
the first round. So I'll tell you what. He's got
great pedigree go and he really does. We all know, Scott,
you and I have gone back on the fourth on

(01:29:36):
this for forty some years, probably how great a catcher
is as a manager, how many of them have made
that that successful switch.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
And I know Skip, you know that too.

Speaker 4 (01:29:48):
So what's happening now is we're seeing guys like this
go into coaching or being hitting instructors or whatever, and
it doesn't have to be on just the professional level.
And I congratulate my Miami for this signing because he
was a good catcher. It was a decent catcher, spent
one of those years in Detroit. He really he's really

(01:30:08):
got the smarts and the know how. I think they
made a very wise decision here, Really, Candy.

Speaker 8 (01:30:15):
The reason this makes this even that much more wise
is he was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, So
he grew up here. He knows how to recruit here.
He knows what schools are good here, he knows which
ones to go after. He was a switch hitting catcher.
He made his Major League debut on May second, twenty seven.

(01:30:39):
It was his twenty second birthday. He went on to
play for the Rangers, the Red Sox, the Marlins, Diamondbacks, Tigers,
and Blue Jays. Over his twelve year career, he compiled
a two thirty two batting average with one hundred and
ten home runs in three hundred and eighty one RBIs.
He also so not only did he grow up in
West Palm Beach, which is north of Miami for those

(01:31:01):
of you that don't know, a couple couple hours, and
then he played for Marlins, so he knows the area.
He knows the schools that are good. He knows this
the high schools that would have good players coming out
of him. And he probably has a little bit of
an edge then because he has can do the local
recruitments and stuff like that from Florida. Here. Anytime you

(01:31:25):
have a local guy that went to the major leagues
and comes back and is involved. It's a great hire
for the Hurricanes. I give him a lot of credit.

Speaker 1 (01:31:36):
All right, well you said everything but one thing. But
that's good. We're got some pun What is Jared Sulton
Mimaki have in common with Howard Snollenberger.

Speaker 7 (01:31:46):
They both want to want to take a guess They
both went no, they both went to Miami Nope.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
Maybe want to take a crack at it. I don't
think so. They have long, fast names beginning with the
word suth Machia Snollenburger. I just hope to hit the
address level. Everybody said it all but that that said,

(01:32:16):
let's continue to.

Speaker 7 (01:32:18):
Yeah, here's what we're missing. Here's what we're missing too.

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
It might persuade kids to stay, to stay with the
program rather than rather than chicken out and go in
the transfer portal.

Speaker 1 (01:32:27):
Don't screw up a great handing, Eric really really, Snollenberger
asses we long. I wouldn't want to have to print
those out. That's why you have address levels. I got
about the transfer port a talking about I'm talking baseballipball.
It's true, all right, long last name south Machiaburger. All right,

(01:32:50):
you got two more baseball topics and one more, not four.
We're gonna get to them. Okay, we're gonna go back
to Japan. The true Suzuki Telly four thousand in his
professional career, he collected at three thousand and eighty nine.
And MLB guess what twelve hundred and seventy eight hits
in professional baseball? See a recurring need professional baseball? You

(01:33:11):
people owe need some redential. Promote your league tonight, defun
all right, Eric, some talks about intro. Looked at four
digit number called four three sixty seven. If that isn't
good enough, got twelve seventy eight and three through eight nine. Anyways,
those are his numbers. Are some talks.

Speaker 7 (01:33:26):
I mean, TRUO, there's a reason he isn't the Hall
of Fame. I mean the fact.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
I mean it makes you wonder even though he had
obviously a Hall of Fame career in in baseball, it
makes you wonder how he come over Earlier he might
have he might have assaulted Pete Rose's record katy.

Speaker 8 (01:33:41):
In his combined playing time in the NPB n MLB,
Suzuki received seventeen consecutive selections as an All Star and
Gold Glove winner, won nine league batting titles, and was
named his League Most Valuable Player four times. That says

(01:34:03):
That says a lot about playing in both both leagues.

Speaker 6 (01:34:08):
Unbelievable career, Yeah yeah, I mean unbelievable hit or unbelievable
human being the way he, you know, represented Japan over
here in the major leagues. You know, if Sadahara Oh
hit eight hundred homers over in the in the Nipping
Baseball League, I would if if Ichiro stayed there, he

(01:34:28):
might have got seven thousand hits, you know, in his
career over there. That's just amazing that you're gonna hit
sixteen hundred hits over there, and you're coming here into
the best baseball in the world and you're gonna, you know,
get three thousand hits and become a Hall of Famer.
That's just unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
I tell you. We come up with the Santoni scamp,
that's right. I don't worry. I got plenty where they
come from. By the way, some good news to report.
My contact in Tampa will probably be coming on our
show in a couple of weeks. We're gonna talk about
the Tampa a race situation, and so stay with us.
I'm working on that. But it's like a postable in
and out anyways, Robed with your talks about each row listen.

Speaker 5 (01:35:09):
Amazing. Like Eric said, I can't imagine if let's just
say he didn't play in Japan and he just came
here and started off in the major leagues. I can't
even imagine how many hits he would have had really
to do it. First, he had a career in Japan,
and then he came here and he had even a
better career here. Just amazing, George.

Speaker 4 (01:35:33):
Yeah, I mean the numbers are staggering, and you guys
already talked about it, you know, hitting three fifty three
in Japan and then you know, three eleven in the
big leagues. Just an outstanding individual, no question about it.
I mean, you know, he's fifty one years old, and
my gosh, when he was at that Hall of Fame
ceremony I was watching in Cooperstown this past July, he

(01:35:54):
looked like he could pick up a bat and start
swinging again.

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
And get some more home runs.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:36:00):
He's just an incredible athlete, great guy. And one of
the things that we see as we cover teams and
then press area is that the Asian media, they flock
to games when their players are there, and I can't
blame my men, boil boy. There's a lot of media
that covered him during his career, no question about it.

(01:36:22):
All the press that were there from from Asia wanted
to see every at bat. Great guy, great guy, well
worth it.

Speaker 1 (01:36:29):
The word George Kandy and I got firsthand knowledge is
that when we were covering show. Hey otany, Oh yes, yeah,
we're in Tippie and my man tim Mead pulled it
off and got us in there. Tim Me, God love you.
I know Skip knows about tim Me. Tim needs one.

Speaker 6 (01:36:43):
Of the classes of people and the best guys ever.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
Oh gosh, is he ever? Shout out to Timmy. If
you're watching this, You're always special And I hopefully will
have a chance to get in contact at some point
or another. One more baseball topic gets too, and then
one more non sports WI wrap it up. In nineteen
seventy three, wrote Nolan Ryan, said his career high with
three hundred and eighty three strikeouts and twenty twenty four
Terrek Scooble led the Bigs with two hundred and twenty

(01:37:08):
eight eighth remarkable for a twenty seven year career. Skip,
we can and I love comparing Nolan Ryan and each
for a weekend and a week out. What are your
talks about this one? You're talking three eighty eight vers
of two twenty eight. That's a lot compared to these
two k guys.

Speaker 6 (01:37:22):
Yeah, you know, obviously we're we're we're really controlling the
number of pitches that these pitchers get to get to
throw these days, and there are days of two hundred
and seventy to three hundred and eighty three strikeouts are over.
You're just not gonna see it anymore. I don't think
you'll ever see another three hundred strikeout performance season performance

(01:37:46):
from another pitcher. And if you if you're striking out
two hundred and twenty, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:37:52):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:37:52):
It used to be, Oh, these guys were running off
two fifty two fifty two fifty two fifty. Uh, you know,
six seven years in a row. And now if you
hit two over two hundred, you're doing something special. So
the game has changed a little bit. But that that's
not to downplay anything as Schoogle's done. He's been fantastic

(01:38:13):
and he's one of the best pitchers that I've ever
seen pitch live. So it's been fun to watch this
this young kid pitch Eric.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
I mean, yeah, I mean, obviously we're not seeing those
high two hundred k K pitchers anymore.

Speaker 7 (01:38:26):
That's just that's just the way the game has gone.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
These days, where where we're where we're wanting to where
we're in theory we're wanting to keep arms healthy when
we're really doing more harm.

Speaker 7 (01:38:35):
But that's that's another argument for another day.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
But you know, you know, again, Terry School was probably
probably this era's you know, you can make the argument
he is this era is Nolan Ryan, because you know,
the guy, the guy's unbelievable. He's like he's one of
those pictures that just kind of came out of nowhere,
I think last season, and we're striking out guys, guys
left and right. He's got to the point now where
he can just where he can just stare at a

(01:38:59):
batter and just stand there and strike them out. That's
how good this guy is. And it's just sometimes sometimes
you wonder as a hitter where you're.

Speaker 7 (01:39:07):
Facing Schoogle, you know it's going to be a long day.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
It's like, you know, like we were talking about earlier
with with Clayton Kershaw, sometimes it's just not fair how
good he is. Uh, but you know again, it's just,
you know, it's just the way the game's going. But
you know, Tarik Schooble is just you know, he's the best,
I think, the best starter in baseball right now. And
it's he's certainly going to be fun fun to watch
here for a while.

Speaker 1 (01:39:30):
Rob.

Speaker 5 (01:39:31):
Yeah, the game has changed so much if you think
about it, with the pitch count and you know, and
they're listen, they're they're protecting their investments, they're paying they're
paying so much money now that you know, they do
have to watch these guys arms. And there's still a
lot of pitchers going. You know, they have to get

(01:39:52):
Tommy John surgery, a lot of injuries. But the game
has changed.

Speaker 6 (01:39:57):
I mean, let's real quick.

Speaker 5 (01:39:58):
I just wanted to mention this the Mets. You know, piggybacking.
This is the new thing, right, piggybacking bad. The Mets
did it with Holmes and Minaya. Could you imagine back
in the day if they said they were going to
piggyback Seever and Kuzman. I mean, it's crazy. So yes,

(01:40:18):
the game has changed. Both of them great strikeout pitchers.
But I mean, you know, Nolan Ryan's in a class
all by himself.

Speaker 1 (01:40:27):
Yeah, Tom Stever, Jerry Kusman, there's a name as George.

Speaker 4 (01:40:33):
Oh yeah, take enough away from school. But we all
know that he's got some great stuff. And obviously he's
at eight hundred and eighty one strikeouts for his career.
But would you look at Nolan Ryan over five thousand strikeouts?
I mean you gotta scratch your head and say, really, really,
are you serious.

Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
For fifty seven hundred strikeouts?

Speaker 4 (01:40:52):
I mean, you know, and Randy Johnson is next, I
guess at forty eight hundred plus, But no, I mean
it is incredible, and and now we are limiting pitch
counts and and innings pitched and all that stuff. Those guys,
those workhorses that we grew up with, such as Nolan Ryan.

Speaker 3 (01:41:09):
I mean, those are yesteryear statistics.

Speaker 4 (01:41:11):
But man, oh man, it's just really hits you right
in the face when you see something like that, and
you wonder, you know, uh, something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:19):
Those records are never going to be touched and nowhere
near being touched. But hats off to Nolan Ryan, of course.

Speaker 1 (01:41:26):
Yeah. Well hats off to me when I bring those
topics a later date and I take that hat and
make you wear it the other way for ruining a
good show down the road. We'll go ahead. You can
wear it now, because then you'll have a really seriously
really being penned up to where sun doesn't shine. All right, Candy,
go ahead.

Speaker 8 (01:41:43):
He recorded three hundred strikeouts in a season six different times,
a major league record. Ryan Pedro, Martinez Johnson, Trevor Hoffman,
Sandy Kolfax, and Billy Wigner are the only six pitchers
inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame who had more

(01:42:04):
strikeouts than innings pitched. And he's Ryan is also one
of three players in history to have his number retired
by at least three teams.

Speaker 1 (01:42:15):
Great stuff. All I can say is more to come
on Nolan Ryan next week. Final topic of the night,
non sports topic, no research necessary. It's called opinion only, Okay,
opinion only. And that's this. And Norway the train conductor
stop the train halfway because his work had ended. Strict

(01:42:38):
labor laws in place to protect workers right and prevent
over works. Yeah, what do you think he stopped Norway?
I love that place, but yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (01:42:53):
Mean we're headed that way. We got sleep rooms in
major league clubhouses, so you know we're we're baby this
generation of people, and it's just not as tough as
what they used to be. I mean, you know, I
guess Nolan Ryan would have needed quite a few breaks
during that three hundred and eighty three strikeout season if

(01:43:14):
they were taking the same approach. It's just it's amazing
to me some of the stuff that goes on these days.
But maybe it's the best. I'm sure those Norway Norway,
you know, bus or train tracks get clogged up quite
often with those breaks. That's amazing to me.

Speaker 1 (01:43:34):
Yeah, you know, it's amazing to me. After reading this,
I don't plan to take a train in Norway.

Speaker 6 (01:43:39):
I think I'm gonna start asking for a break about
halfway through this Monday show. I'm gonna take a nap.

Speaker 1 (01:43:50):
Really show, Why would you want to half way through it?

Speaker 6 (01:43:55):
Hey, labor laws or labor laws, we're gonna move this
thing to Norway.

Speaker 1 (01:44:00):
Well yeah, well then you'd be able to get your
halfway break. That's exactly. There's your there's your great comeback.
That's your baseball analogy to Norway. That's a good one. Skip.
I couldn't come up with one better than you. Because
my manager to make sure you keep me straight on
that great stuff. I'll think of something else, actually, but
this is the flavor of the day. Norway labor laws

(01:44:20):
halfway through. No nobody takes a break halfway to this
show we started. We hit it like what like it
used to be in the old days of pitching. We
have complete games in this game.

Speaker 6 (01:44:30):
That's all right, rob.

Speaker 5 (01:44:33):
Can you imagine, all right, you're on the four train
for a playoff game and all of a sudden the
conductor says, let's stop the train in the middle of
the whatever tunnel you're in. Do you think he would
make it out alive? As you know, he can.

Speaker 6 (01:44:54):
Get his rest for sure. Her many rest, they.

Speaker 2 (01:45:01):
Throw them off, they throw them, they throw them down
below the subway.

Speaker 1 (01:45:06):
Well, so let me ask you guys a question. Well,
I'll go around the horse and I'm gonna ask everybody
quick question. Okay, George, go ahead, you come out on
this one.

Speaker 4 (01:45:14):
Well, Norway, Yeah, those are some different laws, man. That
is unusual. I I'm not a big fan of that.
I mean, obviously after your job or as if if
you have a break coming or something like that, but
it's really unusual when you're in a public transit or
any kind of position like that, or even ems or
police or you know fire. You know, yeah, you need

(01:45:37):
your brakes, but my gosh, not in the middle of
something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:45:40):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:45:41):
That's so that's a bit odd for me to to stomach.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:45:44):
That's why I brought it a show because it's odd
for a lot of people. So you can wear your
hat the right way now that you bailed yourself on
that last I can't do so.

Speaker 8 (01:45:55):
As much as we've all said it's odd, it's unusual.
I don't know about any of you. But one of
the last times Scott and I flew, we had air
a problem with the airplane and at one point they
said the crew could not fly because they were going
to go over their hours as well. And if we

(01:46:17):
think about it, we all talk about how they might
be going over their hours. But remember, like truckers can't
drive how long for safety reasons, it could be the same.
We don't know how long he was on the tracks,
so for safety reasons, he might not be able to continue.
And yes, the train conductor or whoever manages their schedules

(01:46:39):
should know better and he shouldn't have to stop the
train because there should be somebody else that could do that,
come on and take his place. But sometimes it's for
safety purposes too.

Speaker 1 (01:46:51):
I agree, it is what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:46:54):
Eric.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
I mean, we're already talking about having four day work weeks.
We're already headed down that path now, which uh, which
actually I learned I learned earlier there was a college
in Buffalo, New York called U Build University, which actually
has four day work weeks for us, for both the
administration staff as well as well as students.

Speaker 7 (01:47:12):
God knows what would have happened to me if I went there.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
It was a you know, obviously uh going on, you know,
doing that. Actually, if we think about it, though, will
mean it takes you got to focus when you're driving
that train at at a high speed.

Speaker 7 (01:47:25):
It is not easy.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
It is not is not nearly as easy as as
as one might think, because man, you gotta you gotta
make sure the speeds correct. You've got to be aware
of what's going on, what's going out and they're blocking you.
I say, you know, yes, it's it might be a
little inconvenient in the in the middle of it, but actually,
if we really think deeply about it, it does make sense.

Speaker 7 (01:47:42):
Although don't don't push your luck.

Speaker 2 (01:47:44):
If you're a New York subway operator otherwise, otherwise they
might throw you down to the rats, down below the
down below the tracks.

Speaker 1 (01:47:51):
Well, I'll just say this, after reading this, I'm sticking
to my bus tours that way, I don't wonder and
after making this observation and bringing up this topic, you
know what, I'm gonna say. This reminds me of one
of my all time favorite movies, The Lion. Did you
know what? Because the way they handled this law reminds

(01:48:11):
you of two things. Yeah, no worries people.

Speaker 6 (01:48:17):
That's nice as long as they don't do it with
pilots were good and.

Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
Pilot the.

Speaker 1 (01:48:26):
Norwegian people to no worries relax or that's another one
of those.

Speaker 6 (01:48:33):
They'll live longer than all of us probably.

Speaker 1 (01:48:35):
But yeah, I know how we tie it all together.
We tile bring in Norway labor laws and we talk
about dogs tonight, parking the park. We're all over the
map tonight. But I'll tell you one thing, what a
whale was show? This was tonight for sure. This is
just too bad. Cyberuski and Joshua Door their bedtime came early,

(01:48:57):
so they didn't get their one moment in the sun.
And that's talk about food because there aren't getting any
more of them back to this show tonight anyways. But
that says that does it for this edition of Underneath,
such as they before we go away, we're gonna let
Eric let everything. Now they get a hold of Eric.

not sure which one yet.

Speaker 1 (01:50:32):
All right, Well, any praiser, good to have you here tonight.
Of course, any praiser will be on Professor and People

us of the way. Hell, but well before I do
go to skip, well, you know.

I'm gonna start doing virtual lessons as well.

Speaker 1 (01:50:56):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:50:57):

then I'll charge you. I'll still get no. If you
want lessons, please reach out. I'd love to evaluate your
mechanics and help all these young players to try and really,
you know, reach reach their dreams.

Speaker 1 (01:51:18):
I have to bring Skip on one of these day,
President of Pupils, because he was becoming a really good pupil.
That's why he goes out there every time I bring
out the wall topic. He knows how to go ahead
and play it along the way. Man, You've come a
long way to go in here. Unbelievable. Of course, don't

If we're talking baseball, we'll have a new people on

(01:51:40):
every week. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:51:41):
So this this week we're going to have a GM,
a really successful GM from the Mexican League, and I
think it's going to be a great discussion, just really
fill people in on the ins and outs of how
they sign players and all. I mean, you got Robbie
cano Bauer. I mean the team that I managed there

(01:52:03):
had unbelievable players, Keon Broxton, Chris Carter, some guys that
had some great careers in the big leagues. And I
think it's going to be an interesting conversation. You know,
some wild stuff goes on over there in the Mexican League.
It's a great competitive league and I think it'll be
interesting to kind of hear the ins and outs of it,

(01:52:26):
and I think it'll shock some people on what a
great league it is because it's just not talked about
enough here in the United States.

Speaker 1 (01:52:33):
Ken Roxson is one of my favorite people, and I
know Candy great. I have dealt with him before, so
I'll definitely look for we're talking about him as well.
Maybe one of these days we can get him on
the show. All right, Candy take Away as it get
ready to wrap it up tonight.
