Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Can you any ready Welcome to an additional d Eighthiches
Baseball Talk. My name is Scott morganof motor City, mad Mouth.
Please we have a good show lined up, really packed,
and we'll go from there. All right. Off to my
writere is George Ycorn.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Welcome back, George, Hey, good to be here, Scott, thanks
for having me.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, you're welcome. Candy, welcome back for your second right
double hour, all right, Eric, good to be back. And
last but not leave's Rob are resident New Yorker.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yep, great to be back. Thanks, Scott, You're very welcome.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
We got a busy agenda today, obviously, Candy and I
have a busy agenda. All weak, We're to have I
had any hurricanes on Friday night, and we just had
fau on last Saturday. Oh, there was an eventful day
as well. So with that said, let's keep going here.
The let's lead off with our top story, and that's
the Seattle Mariners. They defeated the Detroit Tigers three to

(01:17):
two and an epic fifteen game classic three to two
on Friday night, and on Sunday, get this, they topped
Toronto three to one. In Canada, the COMBA denominator in
this game. That was Jorge Polanco, game winning RBIs in
both games he joined Edgar Martinez who also did the

(01:38):
same thing in nineteen ninety five and the ALGs and
four and five versus New York Yankees. But the even
make matters worth the Toronto Blue days now they had
to deal with and he had to do there. He
also had a three run bomb today that was the
winning three run bomb in a ten to three victory
that now give Seattle a two to nothing lead, and

(01:58):
today he has five at best, who runs two hits?
I wonder who missed October is if they're going to
make a case for it, you know, George Folanco will
be at But let's just talk about George. Obviously it
was painful for a lot of us Detroit Tiger people.
But this guy, who George Folanco, is unbelievable, isn't he. Yeah,
he sure is.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Scott, you know he's a scrappy player.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
He's a good hitter, solid hitter, we know that, but
man oh man, he's driving that ball. He is really
really stucked up his game and Seattle as the beneficiary
of that. Of course, Yeah, it was a it was
a long, long game, the the Friday night game, and uh,
Detroit fans of course are very upset about it, and uh,

(02:40):
but that game could have gone either way.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
As we know. There there was just so much excitement,
so much tension in that game. Fifteen in long.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, I mean what's done is unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, you know, he's getting hot when he needs to,
and that's what you want to see in your in
your batters. You know, you know, he was two for
five today in that fifteen inning merit on Friday night
against the Tigers. You know, they both had chances to win,
and obviously, you know, if you're on the wrong side

(03:15):
of the wing, you feel bad. If you're on the
right side of the win, you feel good. I mean,
Seattle's never been there, so but Blanco's just he's hitting
really well right now.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
You're just thinking what he did to Terror School. He's
two home runs and of course he pulls a trick
on Toronto and then he gets Toronto again and he
does it over at the Rogers Center.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Eric.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
I mean, Placo's you know, after a he had a
down year last year, career worst year for him last season,
but this year he like really turned on started looking
like himself, and he's been a clutch, clutch player for Seattle.
There's a reason that they are. They're in the position,
they're in as close to the World Series as they've
ever been.

Speaker 7 (03:57):
Rob, Yeah, and went better to get hot than in
the postseason. And like you said, he's steaming hot right now.
Sorry George what he did to Detroit. But tonight again
with Toronto. And if this continues, we you know, there's
a good shot we're going to see Seattle in the
World Series.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Finally.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, sure, goes well, all right, So what's going on
in the New York Yankees and New York Kankers are
attempt tam to end of the postseason on an eighth
game winning streak or better. But let's and they were
the last and the last team to do it was
the twenty nineteen Washington Nationals and they went all the way.
Obviously that the Yankees and the Nationals. But that's unbelievable
that you can enter the year hot with an eight

(04:41):
game and that's just talks about how tough it is
to do it. So Rob will start off with you.
So we're talking about a New York Pates team.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, they did.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Listen, the Yankees did finish the season very hot, but
doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
What good did it do?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
You know?

Speaker 7 (04:58):
They lost the t Toronto after beating the Red Sox. Okay,
they took it from the Red Sox, but you know what,
the streak doesn't mean anything right now, Eric.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
I mean, you know, it's you know, they finished off
the year hot, but you know what matters is what
you do in the postseason.

Speaker 8 (05:17):
They didn't get it done Toronto.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
The pitching fell apart, and that's just and that just
and that's just that's just how how it landed for
the Yankees, though. I mean, what matters is what you
do in the postseason, and they didn't get it done
the DSDY.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
The fact of the matter is once the regular season
is done, yes, you're hot going into it, which is
great because hopefully that momentum carries you into the you know,
the postseason. Unfortunately for the Yankees, they ran up against
a buzzza, you know, and it's zero zero again and
starts the postseason. But yes, you always want to be

(05:54):
hot and near the end of the season you just
hope it translates. And this year, this time it just didn't.
I think. You know, sometimes if you go back and
you want to listen to I was previously on the
Professor and the Pupil, and I talked about getting hot,
but I also talked about pressure of being in a
big market and the expectations that you're gonna win, and

(06:14):
sometimes it's hard to overcome some of those preconceived notions
that because you have the highest payroll and you're in
the biggest media market that you should and you have
the legacy that you do, that you're the New York Yankees,
that you should win. Doesn't always happen.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
George, Well, you talk about sticker shock for the Yankee
fans when they saw the scores of those two games,
the first two ten to one, thirteen to seven against Toronto. Yeah,
you nailed it there, Eric. You know, the pitching. The
pitching did not come through. The pitching was suspect, and
even though they did end the year with eight straight wins,

(06:53):
and I applot them for that, they did run into
that Blue Jay buzzsaw and it was just all about
here from there. Of course, the Blue Jays won in
four games, three games to one over the Yankees. But
I really think that the Yankees still have a lot
of good talent going forward. They just got to make
some adjustments and they got to get some better pitching
before next year it starts.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
But that's for another show another day. This year ended bad.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, when I bring up with the Nationals is amazing.
As far as I'm concerned that it's been that long.
I always want to take the teams that get hot
end up getting hot. But when you talk about the
Yankes and Washington Nationals, to be able to make such
a comparison between those, it's just hard tough. This tournament
really is. As we can cheeve you going forward. Okay,
we'll talk about a little bit of strategy for this

(07:40):
obviously for this audience. Here 's talk about it on Satday.
We're going to talk about it now. The Yankees bench
fifty seven home runs and one hundred and forty five
RBIs because of the analytics, Chism, Grisslam and Ben Rice.
Even broadcaster Michael K was criticizing her Boone, and Michael
K doesn't like to criticize a lot, but Michael Kay. Lastly,
Brett Boone for his explanation of point Max Freed in

(08:03):
Gay one lost to Possible where I believe it went
five in a thirds inning. He didn't go that long,
all right, rob playing what was going on there? Not
only what you're talking about the analytics about Boone taking
these three guys out, but Callawaven said on the show
that you don't take out your best players no matter what.
You agree with that, and they give me your assessment
on Max Freed.

Speaker 7 (08:22):
Yeah, well of course you don't. But is is it
coming from him or is it coming from the UH
front office people above? Okay, we know things are different
now and these managers aren't making the moves like they
used to be, so you know we know what's going well,
you know what's going on, even you know Mickey. Mickey

(08:43):
has talked about that, so we know we know what's
going on. You you would never take him out, but
Freed went Listen, Freed had had a great game against
the Red Sox and then he just you know, he
didn't have it against the Blue Jays and usually, you know,
in the postseason, Freed hasn't been that great, you know,

(09:04):
if you go back to these years with with the Braves,
so he just he had a bad game. But I
don't know, you know, we don't I don't know if
that's Boone's call right there?

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Right, Eric, I thought it was I thought it was
a stupid move, playing not playing it off the analytics.
I mean, the postseason, you put your best in no
matter what. Forget the matchups, forget the forget the platoons.
This is not the regular season where you can start
messing around with that. This is you know, this is
you know, you either do or you die. And the
move and the move clearly backfired on on Boone.

Speaker 8 (09:34):
You play your best no matter what.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
Now, mind you, I don't know how much of it
is Boone or Brian Cashman or everyone else involved there,
because you know, we'll never We'll never know, like the
power structure truly there.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
I mean everyone can. Everyone can have their opinions there.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
I know, over the people of the New York Post
and the Times and whatever will have their opinions on
what they think is happening over there. But the thing
about it is that he didn't play. They didn't play
the best. I mean, that's just what it came to
out to. And Max Freed, you know, he's got a
history in the postseason being feast or Famin. He's either
gonna be really good or or that ball is gonna
be is going to be hit all over the yard

(10:09):
and against Toronto, That's that's what happened.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Okay, Candy.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
I'm tired of analytics thinking that analytics are gonna be
true to form. You know, sometimes you might the analytics
might say you shouldn't put in a player, but maybe
that players do, and maybe that player it's that it's
that time that they're gonna you know, rebound and they're
gonna you know, maybe they're over some picture. But all

(10:40):
you need is one, All you need is one, and
I just don't. I'm tired of analytics playing such a role.
You know, in a in a game, this is a game.
You can't predict. It can't predict who's gonna have a hit,
who's gonna do well, who's gonna pitch you know, oh

(11:01):
I missed my pitch by this, and so the hitter,
you know. I mean, here's what I'm gonna say, is
it always putting the best players out right now? Maybe
it's about play, putting the hottest hitters that are good
in right now. It doesn't always have to be necessarily
your best, but your hottest hitters too, because hey, if

(11:22):
they're streaking. We've always said you want to be hot,
come September and October, and if you're like Planco, we
were saying, he's doing really good right now, so that's
what you want. So yeah, I would not listen to analytics.
Some of it's got to go from your gut too, you.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Know, George, Yeah, I mean that was a bad game
the Yankees played and Max free Alba runs that he
gave up too.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
But I agree with you guys.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
I mean the analytics, Yeah, they go to the m
degree on that, you know, and they're constantly adding more
staff and more young people to do this. And the
whole game of baseballs, we know, is changed from what
it used to be. And we I understand all that,
you know, to use the stats. But you're right, Candy.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I mean, when a.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Hot player is in there, more often than not, I've
seen even in Detroit. You know, sometimes they'll take the
hot guy out and put in the other guy. You know,
they to go on the analytics, you know, they haven't
pinch hitter even though the other player, for example, might
have two hits already in the game or something like that.
But getting back to pitching, yeah, they'll overdo it in
pitching just as much as they do in banning. But

(12:28):
I'll tell you what, there's no way that you're going
to win those games when you start allowing that many runs.
And I don't care what kind of analytics you're looking at.
The Hackes pitching staffle out too many runs, period.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, I see. I've been a firm believer that analytics
is all well and good, But the real managers follow
their gut feeling in their instincts. We don't have those,
forget it. And that's all I have to say about
I want to get to as we continue on one
hundred and eight such as baseball done. My name is
Scott Morgan off place to be joined by George Reichorn Candy.
I like Rob Roska and Eric Katz. Rob obviously does
a job in New York. MLB Baseball Talks US shows

(13:02):
I think a Monday and Friday Monday afternoon and Friday night.
Glad he's a part of our panel on Monday night
as well. So and now let's go back to the
Detroit Tigers when they were in the postseason. And it
does amaze me though, how the Detroit Tigers at fifteen
men on base and the six to one loss in

(13:22):
Cleveland Game two, but they rebounded to win the series.
Now case in point. You know, you talk about a
team that, Okay, you have ice in your bins, you
leave fifteen men on base in a sixteen to one loss.
That is tough to swallow when you have to come
back with a close out. And then we'll talk about
Derek scoopl who, by the way, at one point in

(13:44):
the season, in a nine game Team Scratch, he was
one and two and the team was six and three
with fifty seven innings, pitch forty three hits, sixteen runs,
eleven walks, seventy four k's two point five three year
that's tough. Look. So the reason why I have combined
the two topics is we know the Trek School has

(14:05):
landed to leave games earlier because of analytics and tess count.
I'm not going to go any anty more depth than that,
but let's talk initially, Rob about the fact that leaving
fifteen men on base is gonna cut it. I know
the Tiger's gonna have to address their offense, and we'll
bring that up on future shows, but let's talk about
this six to one lost, Rob, how they ended up
leaving fifteen men on base.

Speaker 7 (14:27):
You know, I go through this constantly with the New
York Mets. Okay, they leave runners on base like crazy.
So this you know, to me, the Tigers, I don't know.
In the postseason, to leave that many men on base,
you know, that's not good anytime. But in the postseason
you can't do that. You have to bring those guys in.

(14:50):
You have to score runs. That number is way too
high for the postseason. It's way too high for the
regular season. In the postseason, no way, no way. So
they they didn't deserve to win that game. They they
had to score. They have to do stuff. Leaving leaving
runners on base drives me crazy.

Speaker 6 (15:11):
Okay, Eric, Probably the most aggravating thing you can do
is leave leave runners in scoring position. I mean the
I mean the Robbs point the Yankees do it too,
and did it quite a bit this year. I'm not
just going to point to point out. I'm not just
going to even though you know, making fun of the
Mets of the pastime of mind.

Speaker 8 (15:27):
They the the Yankees did it quite a bit this year.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
They would countless times they would have runners are first
and second, no outs, and they do and they would
do nothing. But you know, in but for what it's worth,
though in the Tigers matchup against the Seattle Mariners, you know, the.

Speaker 8 (15:42):
Maritors left plenty of people on base two.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
They had plenty of moments where they could have ended
the game a lot earlier than they ended up.

Speaker 8 (15:49):
Then they ended up doing so.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
But if you're leaving runners on base, you're not gonna
win any ball games. That's also momentum because the baseball's
played with ebbs and flows, and you got to capture
the momentum at the right time. It's not like it's
not like you know, other sports where you can just
keep pouring it on off baseball, you just got to
capture it within a window.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Edy Uh.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
The record for leaving the most men on base in
a postseason is the Tigers there with fifteen. You know, Ah,
it's sad, but I think part of it. Part of
it is is I think so many of the batters
want to hit it in a specific place. They want
to hit a home run. They're not just hitting it

(16:31):
where the pitch is pitched, you knowing small ball, you know,
doing doing the things that you need to do if
you need to bunt. Bunt. I mean, there was a
bunt in the Brewers Cubs series where it was so
loud that like people got distracted and they you couldn't
hear where the pitcher should have thrown it because everyone

(16:52):
was saying throw it to second, and he ended up
throwing it to first, like and then there was a
misthrow and like, so I think we we miss sometimes
going back to the basics and doing the art of bunting. Like,
there's a lot to be said about bunting, and I
don't know that they that the major leaguers don't practice

(17:12):
it enough. But you know, you can get a hit
with a bunt, just like you can hit to left field,
like and it can be just as effective. So I
really think that the batters of these days don't hit
the ball where it's pitched. It's okay to go to
the opposite field.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, nobody's outlining small ball people. Small ball works.

Speaker 8 (17:36):
It's a lot of start. It's a lot of start,
is what it is.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Okay, small ball works, shorte go ahead?

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Well yeah, I mean that's a This is the angst
of the Detroit Tigers fandom right now. I mean, between
the strikeouts of these so called hitters and the runners
left stranded is ridiculous. You know, the account was way,
way more than.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
It should be.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
And when you have fifteen guys, like you said, Scott
left on base team runners in scoring position. The team
was one for fifteen in that game, that six to
one loss that you set against Cleveland in game two
of this series. And I'll tell you what I mean.
They were able to pull it off in game the
next game and take the series. But that was despicable.

(18:22):
That was despicable to be one for fifteen runners in
scoring position for Detroit. Too many guys, too many guys, yes,
winging for the fences, too many guys striking out, as
we all know, especially in Detroit, and you know they
were doing so well earlier. We still don't know what happened,
but anyways, it was.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
It was.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yeah, you can't win games like that, Scott, with fifteen
runners left on base.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
So let's pivot to the other half of what I
talked about, that tough strest by terror school. Everybody has
no boy or you're six and three and you throw that, well,
my goodness, that's up a little of Georgia. You can
continue the narrative it all.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of questions out there
right now, and the Tigers had a presser this morning
and tried to address some of those, but nobody has
really given a straight answer on that, you know, and
the fact that Schooble is your best pitcher, the probably
the best pitcher in baseball, and you are, you know,
having him with a tight pitch count and you're having him,

(19:20):
you know, pitch six innings or five. Yeah, it just
doesn't make sense, especially in now this is the critical
part of the year. My god, you're in the playoffs,
you're in the championship series or whatever series, you're in
division series, and you're allowing him or is he dictating
We still don't know in Detroit whether he's saying I
can't go any further. The fact the matter is it

(19:41):
doesn't look it doesn't look good, and Scooble has a
lot of good pictures, good repertoire, and just the fact
that oh, well, gee, I can't go them up ninety
five or I can't go above one hundred, that doesn't
cut it with me.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
No, Candy.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
I remember back in the day when the Brewer were
playing and C. C. Sabathia came in and they he
came in numerous times, and it's because they're in the playoffs,
it's it's it's do or die. You you do it
or you go home. And so if you are a
pitcher and you're on, and you know you're still on,

(20:19):
you don't come out. I'm sorry. And as a manager,
you don't take them out if they're on. Now if
they get tired, by all means, if they say they
don't have it anymore. Because as a pitcher, you know,
you know when you have your stuff or you don't.
And granted nobody wants to come out, but you also
don't want to hurt your team either. And this is

(20:40):
the playoffs, and like I said, it's win or go home,
and so you do whatever you can to win.

Speaker 8 (20:48):
Eric, I mean, here's the deal.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
I mean, I not like the whole hundred pitch limit
because I think back to Nolan Ryan, who I don't
think he had a major arm surgery. If i'm if,
I'm if I'm not mistaken Andy, and he was out there.
He was out there from start to finish. I remember
when I was younger during the two thousands, as long
as you were mowing, they let you go. But now
I think pitchers now, I think nowadays teams live within

(21:12):
their fears and I think these guys just don't throw
enough anymore. If your guys going hot, to let them
go together. The other team's not not hitting, not hitting
anything to them. And and yeah, so that's just you know,
you just gotta let him go. I mean, Terrek Schoobl
I mean, he's the best pitcher in baseball in my
in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Wow, you know my.

Speaker 7 (21:35):
Own personal feelings. I don't feel that. Schoobl said. You know,
I can't go. I want I want out after just
that many pitches. I hate the pitch pitch count. But
you guys know I'm old school.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
You know, we're this.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
This is just stuff we have to This is how
the game is now, right, this is just the way
it is. We're still gonna love baseball, but that doesn't
mean we have to like it. I do not like
the pitch count. I don't understand. Could you imagine pulling
Bob Gibson out of a game during the playoffs, I mean,
come on, because you know, okay, Bob, you gotta go,

(22:13):
you're at ninety six pitches.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
He would pop the manager in the face.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
White probably it would be would be white hair, all right, Yeah, but.

Speaker 8 (22:26):
I mean it's it's just the way the game's going.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
I mean, I mean, I mean, we all know that
the world changes, Baseball changes. We've seen it change drastically
over the years, and it's just that's just the way
the game is going. Heck, we're throwing bullpens at each
other now.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Gay, So all right, we're gonna go our first non
sports top the other night, and guess what we're going
to make Iceland for this one. I love bringing out Iceland,
one of the happiest places on the planet now sports
Iceland the safest and best country. Oh, I love that place.
I can't wait to get back there again. But yeah,
there's people. Police in Iceland don't carry guns during routine patrols.

(23:02):
How beautiful is that? No guns are routine patrols. Oh,
life is nice. Up, there were eight it's cold George. Yeah,
I won't find that and detried to carry them everywhere.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
That's idealistic, man, that's great. I mean I'm happy for
a country, uh or a city even that they can
do that because uh man, Yeah, in America, we're so
attached to those guns, especially big cities like mine. And
you know, but I think that that is really, really
a great achievement.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
By them, They protect each other.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
They they don't have to whip out a gun to
do something and subtle an argument. And I bought Iceland
for that. That that's a great thing going there. I'll
tell you what. That's the envy I think of the
of the free world, you know, not have to have
guns on everybody and and on cops.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
I mean, yeah, gosh, I wish I could afford to
live up there, but I do, hope I handle it cold.
I love it all right, Candy.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
You know, as Florida just passed not too long ago,
they're open carry law that you can, you know, openly
carry now a gun.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Ah, I.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Doesn't matter what side of the the gun control you're on.
Kudos for Iceland, like to not have to resort to
that kind of force, in blunt force or anything like
that from and I don't know how much crime may have,
Probably not much. They don't have as much population either,

(24:39):
but and it's beautiful country up there, it is. But yeah, kudo,
just kudos because it's a whole different it's a whole
different world, you know, to not have the guns that
kind of brute force when you're looking down you know,
a gun or someone's carrying one, and I've never been

(25:04):
held at gunpoint, think thankfully, you know, but I can't imagine.
I can't imagine it. So for a country to not
allow even their policemen, ah must mean must mean a
lot safer community and a lot less of the huge violence.

Speaker 8 (25:23):
You know.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
I'm sure they have crime, don't get me wrong, but
of the you know, the murder type I'm assuming is
a lot lower, So kudos to them.

Speaker 6 (25:33):
Well, it helps though that Iceland has some of the
world's strictest gun laws, so you know, they have that
going for him. Where you gotta, where you gotta attend
a class, you gotta there's a weight period for for
getting a gun, so that probably helps too.

Speaker 8 (25:44):
But the fact that the police don't feel the.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Need to have a gun is pretty is pretty good
on the country's part.

Speaker 8 (25:50):
That's actually a really good look.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
Obviously in America, that would that would never happen because
because let's let's be honest, America was founded on guns.
But but yeah, it's say, but you know, it's good
for Iceland.

Speaker 7 (26:04):
Rob, Yeah, I mean, I agree, of course, a place
where the cops don't have to carry guns and you
don't have to worry about anything. It's it's great, but
like you said, a smaller population plus it would be great, except.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
I couldn't take the cold either.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
You know so well you got cold in New York.
Boy gets way colder than there. Yeah, think about that.
Candy and I take a cruise, and of course we
need to pack a lot more on this particular trip
than mostly we were dealing with good weather and then
colder weather. But I have no problem. Had to get
an extra bag or two along the way, and I'll
make it look at different. So it was to fun. Yeah,

(26:42):
I love Iceland, and the fact when I saw this
nugget about not carrying any guns and all that business
gives me another every time I look for an Iceland.
I'm gonna keep bringing in Iceland topics everybody on Monday
Night because it's a nice laid back place. I want
to show to be a nice laid back show. Depending
on who's ever on. Micky's on, great he isn't It's
okay too. I mean, you can see with this is

(27:03):
virtual lessons, I get a demand busy, but this show
is going to go on with the group that we have.
As Gene Hackman once said in the movie Hoosiers. I
can't control who is in here. I can only control
who is here. Everybody has the busy schedule, and I'm
not a mind reader. So the bottom line, they're going
to keep incorporating ice. I'm not sending any message. I'm
just saying, this is what you have, and this is
what we're going to do no matter what. We are

(27:23):
consistent one hunder and eighth, such as Baseball Talk. Everybody
has been on several years, right, Candy, okay, and this
will continue to go on as a route as the
individuals rotate in and out of here. And that's what
I've always been a firm believer. And I can tell
you I've been in the baseball business in nineteen eighty two,
not before Less played, and I've met a lot of people,

(27:44):
and I got a newsery. I have a lot more
than I'm working on. I love making you, don't get
me wrong. This is not a knock to get Mackey.
I'm just saying I have a big, big inventory of
baseball people either come out here or on that Saturday show.
But back to Iceland, I'm going to keep incorporating Iceland
topics and a lot more creative topics go ahead, Candy,
I just.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
Want to say that Icelandic police do not routinely carry
firearms on patrol. Their guns are stored in locked boxes
in their police cars and only used when a ranking
officer permits it in specific dangerous situations. The standard equipment
for officers includes a baton, handcuffs, and pepper spray, and

(28:25):
in twenty twenty two, officers were authorized to carry tasers
as well.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Great stuff, So so you still have the yants, you
have the taser spray. What was the other one?

Speaker 5 (28:38):
A baton, pepper spray, handcuffs and now a taser.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Beautiful stuff. All right, everybody's cool on this topic. Yep,
that's beautiful. A right. Well, now we're going to do
our angle Nolan Ryan and Etro Suzuki Candy opinion only necessary.
They have a lot more of them coming up. That's
want to reminder so that she understands that there are
two thighs for her. Phenomenal research is great, but not
necessarily needed. So Nolan Ryan is the only pitcher in

(29:07):
MLB history to lead the team in strikeouts across three
different decades, winning the award seven times in the nineteen seventies,
three times in the nineteen eighties and once in the
nineteenth nineties.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
George, Oh man, this is incredible. This guy is unbelievable
and that is quite a stad you're kidding me, three
different decades, even though he was front loaded on that
first decade. But that's okay, he did it. He stretched
it out. That's a sign of his career being through
those three decades. Just phenomenal, phenomenal strikeouts and what a

(29:43):
record that probably will never.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Be matched by anybody else. To have those strikeout titles
like you mentioned Scott Katy.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
To have more strikeouts than innings pitched. Holy to Ledo,
Nolan Ryan. That is awesome, baby, Eric.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
I mean, that's the greatest picture of all time. I mean,
it doesn't shock me. I mean, there's what didn't he
do in baseball side from you know, not win Asio
where that guy truly was that truly was the greatest
picture of all time.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Rob three decades is amazing and that is something that
you'll never see again.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Cheers. Oh yeah, okay, good now we'll say cheers again.
We'll talk about Intro who did record his first time
will be hit until he was twenty seven years of age.
He's the oldest for the first hit among three thousand
hit club members, passing Wade Bogs those twenty three years,
two hundred and fifteen days. Oh unbelievable. When you play
Etro and Wade Bogs in the same sentence, Rob.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Can you imagine if he didn't play in Japan and
he just played his whole career year, what numbers he
would have really and that would stop would have had
to stop that one voter that I keep bringing up.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Up every week.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
If he did that, I just can't imagine.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Unfortunately, you'll have to bring that sentence up on every
show and till I'm done with the each real stuff.
But that's okay. I love hearing it every week. Everybody
is going to jump on your bandwagon, Rob and say
one voter, come out, come out wherever you are, and
you know what, we'll all be giving you thumbs up,
mister Rob across all your shows as well.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
Eric, Well, yeah, I mean well, if he he recorded
his first hit when he was twenty seven, well he
ended up having I think two hundred and sixty two
of them. So I so, so age is just a
number here, because you know he got three thousand plus hits.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
It doesn't matter how old. He was the guy.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
Was the guy like you know, like Noel Ryan was
longevity and matter of fact, he probably had it harder
than Nolan Ryan. Nolan Ryan was that power pitcher and
each your row you got to go in that batter's
box and face and face and face guys. I mean
he was there when baseball was changing. I mean the
pictures changed that he the pictures were no longer like
what they were, which was either some guy through was
sticking to more off speed stuff. But he was faced

(31:59):
on more high heaters as he was getting into his sporties.

Speaker 8 (32:02):
But he still got it done.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
Kady nine years playing in Japan, over twelve hundred hits.
If those would have translated equally to MLB where he
had over three thousand, that would have been over four
three hundred hits. That would be amazing. Like he like, Okay,
so all you baseball players that are playing in the postseason,

(32:29):
he's the one you want to look at. He's the
one that could bat put the ball wherever it was pitched.
He's the hitter you want to emulate small ball right now,
He's the hitter that you want to emulate your game
for so that you move your fellow teammates around the
horn and don't leave him on the base.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
George, Yeah, that's amazing at that age to start your
quest to get three thousand hits. Like you said, Boggs
was several years early than that. Yeah, and everything that's
been said is so true. I mean, he'd ever fire
thousand hits if he did. And you know they brought
him out. They brought him out throughout the first pitch

(33:10):
I believe, one of the one of the first game
against Detroit, and he's very well loved there. As we
all know, he's still very well connected to the to
the Mariners team. So what a great guy and just
a tremendous.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Hit or no question about it. This illustrates it even more.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Yeah, I just look forward to bringing these things every
week so I can get everybody's reactions, and I have
a lot more coming up. This is just the latest. Sorry,
Now we'll go to Candy first, antion break halfway through
the show. Make him phenomenal time, and as we I
can go rapid fire and everybody keeps certain comments and
I like keeping them this way. My goals are to
keep shows sixty to seventy five minutes if possible. Depending

(33:48):
on what we put in. But that's okay, I mean
it is what it is. Every show will command the
amount of times it's necessary. I don't see Rob having
shows that go more than sixty to seventy five minutes.
He tries to keep on sixty minutes, so that's reshow
if they go longer, I get it just depends on
a personnel that we have candy station break time, when
we come back, a lot more stuff, and hopefully we'll
wrap it up so everybody can continue watching a baseball

(34:10):
playoff said Monday night football wherever your choice is so
I can't self.

Speaker 5 (34:14):

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Thank you, Candy. Well, So I want to talk about
valuable iphons are I'll give you a good reason why
you should think of one. I'm not here to sell them,
but get this or iPhone seventeen pros? Were you used
during the Detroit Tigers? Is the Boston Red Sox game
onto a real MLB broadcast? Can you believe that five

(35:53):
four iPhone seventeen pros for a real MLB broadcast? Rob
some thoughts about this one.

Speaker 7 (36:00):
Oh, I'm a I'm an Apple guy. I've had an
iPhone since they came out, so it listen. It is
amazing how far they've come since, you know, the first one.
But it does not shock me at all. I mean
just just look at at the video. Just look at
the clarity from that phone. Just just amazing.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
See when my mom got me my first iPhone because
my androids weren't working out. Once I started using hers,
I haven't looked back since, so this doesn't surprise me.
I'm just surprised that got an MLB broadcast, that's all.
But I knew they were good. But Pamil, he was
just four iPhone Pro. That's surreal.

Speaker 6 (36:39):
Eric, I mean, they're top of the their top of
the line. I've become an Apple guy in recent years
and they're just terrific.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Andy, I can't wait to get your response.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
So, as many of you might know, or many of
you don't know, but now you're gonna know, I'm an
Android person and I'm cool with that. But hey, I'm
cool with whatever technology they're going to use to make
things better. If it happens to be Apple, that's great too.
I mean I learned enough Apple helping Scott, so I

(37:11):
know they're you know what, They both have their place,
they both have their pluses and minuses. Whatever you like,
go for it, George.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Well, Apple's been the pacesetter, the trend maker, whatever you
want to say. With their iPhones have been terrific. Seventeen
they're up to now, if that number is correct.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
I don't know if it is, but anyways, that is
an amazing achievement and using it for the ballgame. Like
you mentioned, Scott, they got great quality and a lot
of people love them, and I'm in one of them.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
I think they're great phones.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
I really really wish the price wasn't so high, but
then again that's another story.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
But the quality is superb. Like you guys said, I have.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
To say at this particular point, one I have now
is good. I don't know if I'm doing for no
when this or not, but at the rate I'm going,
I like the one I have, So I may wait
a little while longer and try to get out from
other stuffs so that I don't have to spend the money.
I have enough suitable storage space. I don't mind investing
into more cruises, which I really had a blast to
rob obviously, takes on this guy do for one of

(38:16):
what November I mean, I get, I get this all.
I got topics for both of you and towards in
just a few minutes. Okay. But August thirtieth, twenty fifteen,
Jake Orietta throws a no hitter for Chicago Cubs. Rob
My goodness, Jake Arietta throws a no hitter for the
cor What you thought about Jake?

Speaker 7 (38:36):
Yeah, well, I remember seeing that game that that year
twenty fifteen, in fact, for me with no hitters. I
was actually I was at City Field when Max Scherzer
pitched that no hitter against the Mets the last series
of the season before the postseason.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
But yeah, that that was a great game.

Speaker 8 (38:59):
By Jake, Eric, I mean, you know, it was area.

Speaker 6 (39:03):
It was the beginning of the time where Arietta kind
of went on that little run there where he was
up became a pretty good pitcher for the Cubs. I
think he was their ace at one point, and you
know he and it's just you know, he his kind
of no hitter I think kind of bridged over to
where the Cubs actually became, you know, had that window
where they were competitive Candy.

Speaker 5 (39:24):
You know, anytime a pitcher can go out there and
say that he no hit a team, A that's probably
a feat that hardly I don't know if they'll have
harm any of them going forward, because let's face it,
we all talked about the pitch count now, and you
can only pitch so many so you might not have
a complete no hitter anymore. But kudos to him. He

(39:45):
did it against what the Dodgers.

Speaker 8 (39:50):
Good for.

Speaker 5 (39:50):
No, yeah, I think he did it against the Dodgers.

Speaker 8 (39:56):
I think it was actually hold on.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
That's a good point too, canny because I don't like
combine no hitters anyways. I've never been sold out of those.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
George, Yeah, Jake carreyt. Yeah, that was against the Dodgers, right.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
And uh, you know, twenty fifteen, it's not that far
long ago. I mean, and there are you know a
lot of pitchers that you know, never achieve this, but
there are some like Jake that can hold that up
there high because then he got another one, So I mean,
there's always a thrill. And like you guys said, it's

(40:32):
just not the same when you share no hitter with
two three four guys in the bolt fen. But yeah,
Jake had a great moment that that day, and and
and downing a great team to the Cubs, I mean
the Cubs over the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Sorry, all right, well, you know what, here's a topic
that's nonsports that has is right up George iikrns la
and I mean, George I corn I had I was
thinking about it when I brought this up to me.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
So this.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Okay. In twenty sixteen, the oldest living Leapier and I
repeat Leapier baby celebrated her twenty fifth birthday on her
one hundredth year of life, or on February twenty ninth,
nineteen sixteen. She only got to blow out her birthday
candle every four year talk about aging gracefully and slowly

(41:23):
or what or twenty five years? And you know what,
and back then, you know, I won't see you single
handling put Bill NaNs out of business. But you didn't
help it matter, knowing that you got them toys on
the twenty eighth and the first yeah, I go, yeah,
what are your thoughts about this woman?

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Oh that's great.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
I'm proud of her man being a Leapier baby myself.
I mean, it's such a thrill, you know, And really
the thing is is that it makes it even more special.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
I mean when you have it every year. I mean,
of course, you know, some of them come and go.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
In our lives, we don't really celebrate too much maybe,
but but every four years you're waiting around, waiting around, right, waiting.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Around like I've had to. I'm proud of her.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
That's great achievement for her, twenty five years, twenty five times.
Rather she's had her birthday on February twenty nine.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
If I love it, well, we're Marriagers standing out there,
and I'm a fan of his. Anyway, football talk with
old Marriers are up to nothing. My only questing, no, Bulah,
do you plan to get to any of those games
out in Seattle? Know that they have a chance to
probably close it out in the Pacific Northwest. We'll see
if he answers that. So what do you think Knnie
about to leap here? Unbelievable? I always think of you

(42:33):
like corner some way and man, more ways than you'll
ever know.

Speaker 5 (42:39):
The only one I actually personally know that was born
on leapyer, So with you, you know, thank you. You know,
sometimes we think of people that have birthdays on holidays
and how it gets lumped in and how it's not special.
You know, for those that are born on leapyers, they've

(43:00):
got to feel weird because they're celebrating their birthday every year,
but it's not actually on their birthday, so that's got
to feel really different.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
You know.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
I'm sure kudos to you for you know, kudos to
this lady for you know, celebrating it big on the
when it does land and hitting up and let's face it,
these days, it's no small feet to get to one
hundred these days, so kudos to her for celebrating it
and celebrating it big.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Yeah. Bo says it's out of his budget. That's okay.
I was just curious we got he's got to graduate
up in the media range so we can get him
in one of these games. But Bo, I'll tell you
one thing about him. You talk about a teammate and
every since the word BO is definitely and he's helped
me out so many way. Stephen Richell are to the
people that have allowed us to grow on this platform.

Speaker 8 (43:47):
And Then's like Eric, I mean it was, you know,
it's incredible. I mean good good for her. I mean
that's pretty unique.

Speaker 7 (43:58):
Could you imagine if you're a lead year child and
you have rotten parents, and you're like, mommy, I want
to have a birthday party?

Speaker 3 (44:06):
No, why not? Not your birthday? You gotta wait three
eat more years now.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
My mom and dad they did never say that to me.
But it's fine.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
I'm a Christmas baby. I didn't have that problem. The
only a lot of people wondered if I got all
my gifts on my birthday. In between, you know, it
didn't matter. I know. All I know is regardless of
how you think you got jipped. I never had to
go to school on my birthday, but I did have
to take a driver assess. But I was able to
do a little fast talking with the lady. Say you
one or two things that happened when I take my drivers?

(44:39):
Says he to give me the rout I wanted. We're
gonna get killed. Oh she was nice. I'll go wherever
you want. It's okase you badly. I guess her life
was more valuable than me going out there and telling
her what we go. I did pretty well. Actually, I
had my Grandma Sophie's yellow Cadillac. That was really cool.
Stuff really was so leap your more power to them.
Rest in peace building apps. Okay, because of course I

(45:00):
can and help put you out of business anyway, so
you and a lot more like them. But I'll say
they did have good food. I will say this right
back to another non sports topic, and that's ys that
Apple will reportedly release a MacBook with a touchscreen next
year called the mech Book Pro, set to debut for
at first o lead pitching mech books in twenty twenty six.

(45:23):
I'll tell you the idea of a touchscreen is good.
Problem is, I'm awful with those things, so probably be
good for a lot of people out there, including Callaway.
You're probably gonna be doing virtual pitching lessons. He could
probably do one if he's watching the show or not
so bad. But I'm always intrigued by when they get
a new Apple product. But I'll tell you what this
is called international travel. I'm not so quick to empty

(45:43):
that checkbook anymore, even though I had that Apple card. George, Yeah,
you think the iPhones are expensive, What do you think
this mech book is going to run?

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Oh, lots and lots of money.

Speaker 4 (45:56):
Uh, that's another product that they keep improving and all
that particularly use one.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
But that notebook and that pro.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
Is going to be really, really vital to so many
different people.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
I thousands.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
I don't know how much they're going to be, really
but they'll be quite expensive.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
But I know a lot of people use.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
Them, and obviously that's a great, great incentive to see
the new one, the new one.

Speaker 5 (46:22):
Yeah, So if MLB is already using Apple seventeen for
a phone, they're going to start using these new MacBooks
because they're bigger screens. They can look and analyze more
analytics better because they can I mean, for those of
us that are older, you need more than just a
little screen, you need a bigger screen. It it'll be interesting.

(46:44):
Kudos to them. Let's face it. I can tell you
that there are a lot of people in the older
generation that or the mature generation, how should I ever
put it, didn't grow up with a with a computer
in their hand when they were young, and so a
lot of these touch screens are more user friendly for them,

(47:08):
especially the bigger screens. So it makes sense for them
to do a MacBook, you know, with a touch screen, correct.

Speaker 6 (47:19):
I mean, you know, I wouldn't surprise me if they
if they already, if they already have an order in though,
because generally the leagues are kind of head up everyone
else though, but not a fan of the touch screens personally,
but you know, good for them, Rob.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (47:33):
Well, two weeks ago I bought, uh I had to
buy a new computer, so I ended up buying an HP.
It has a touch screen and it also has a
I which I haven't used either yet.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
There you go, there you haven't. I'm I doubt I'll
probably get what. I'm happy with what I have, you know,
I really am, Although I don't want to go to
the store because I might be tempted. But me and
touch screens, I don't know. I kind of like where
I'm at. I can go so much with technology, but
I'm cool with what I have, all right. But it's
out there. I like to I always say I like
to bring on ty cobs stuff out there, and I'm

(48:10):
going to be diaking that a new weekly feature as well,
talking about one thing with ty Cob every Monday night.
Might as well have a great show. When we talk
about each row, we talk about an ol. Ryan Wantl
had ty Cob as well. So if that said. On
August thirty, nineteen oh three, ty Tom makes a big
late debut. George, Yeah, well that was in Detroit or

(48:32):
was it a road game?

Speaker 4 (48:34):
Either way, it was a great, great day for base
paul Is Drake, Tyris, Raymond Cobb, the Georgia Peach. Yeah,
he did a great job as a Detroit Tiger, and
you know he just scrappy guy.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
But that is amazing, you said nineteen oh three.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Nineteen oh three, George More.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Nineteen o three, I can't remember that game? Was it
on TV?

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Well? My question to you did you have any grandparents
in line back then? Oh?

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Yes I did.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Yeah, Grandma ave my my dad's mom and uh and
her husband and my grandpa. Yeah, they were around back then.
I never asked them. I probably should have if they
ever saw Cob play.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Yeah. Well it's a little too late now, George, but
you'll be getting a new tie cop get every Just
a programming note this Satay, there will be no talking
baseball on Saturday. I have a Miami Hurricanes game with
Katie Embling. I don't think I'll be able to handle
the quick turnover on Saturday, So therek just so you know,

(49:36):
if you have anything you going to do over the weekend,
go ahead and do it. So no what we'll bring
it back the following week as well. At least that's
what our plan is, and we'll continue to see how
they go. But when you have a late Hurricanes game,
it starts laying. I don't think I can muster up
the strength to do it, So why not be able
to do it unless you give it everything you've got.
I don't think we'll be able to do it that
day as well. So and just in case you're looking

(49:57):
for what's on tap Saturday, the next baseball you're gonna
get with me next Monday night? All right, Rob, go ahead,
Thai Cob.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
Yeah, ty Cob?

Speaker 1 (50:05):
I mean, you know a legend. Could you mean?

Speaker 7 (50:09):
Listen, do you guys know if ty Cob was ever
taken out of the game in his prom prime for
a pinch hitter?

Speaker 3 (50:15):
George, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
I've yeah, never researched, you know what.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
I don't know, But maybe one of these nuggets I
have might answer a question. I don't know, but we'll see.
I got a lot of good stuff I'm picking up
from my story. Okay, all right, I know, Look, if
you know it, let me know and I'll and you
can say it. But I don't know. I've just started
with him and I will starting when the guy was born.
There's other stuff, but we'll get with Tay Cob. You
don't have to worry about.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
That, Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
I I don't know either, Okay, do you don't have
to research it, don't worry about it. Okay. Did you
comment on this one, Cannas? Yeah, no, I did not
go ahead, although if you want to come up with it,
go ahead. I don't care now, Rob Curious.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
I didn't have enough time to research that. But all
I'm gonna say is he started a twenty four year
career on that date with the Tigers. I mean, and
he played twenty two seasons with the Tigers. That's that's
unheard of. Like, if you think about it, how many
players play twenty two years, much less with one team,

(51:22):
you know? And what a career he had. And I
know you're going to go into the other stats and
everything like that, but to play that long to start
nineteen oh three, obviously that was before me, before my parents,
and I believe it was before right before my grandparents,
I believe.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
But if I recall correctly, I think he played for
the Philadelphia age too. Y. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, But
I'll tell you he played. He played the majority of
his team time with Detroit. I think it was the
Tigers manager at some point. I'm just trying to go
over what my memory served me.

Speaker 8 (51:55):
So he was. He was.

Speaker 5 (51:56):
He played with the Tigers from nineteen oh five to
nineteen two, twenty six. Yeah, Philadelphia Athletics twenty seven to
twenty eight, and as a manager in twenty one to
twenty six for the Tigers.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Great stuff. Okay, a couple more topics to get to.
But boy, I got rob name written. Oh lover of
this one.

Speaker 8 (52:14):
Boy, last week I didn't go. I didn't go.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Alright, go ahead, whoever?

Speaker 8 (52:19):
I mean?

Speaker 6 (52:20):
First off, if Tyker was getting lifted for a pinch hitter,
I'm sure, I'm sure you would punch whoever's trying.

Speaker 8 (52:24):
To pinch hit him.

Speaker 6 (52:27):
But you know, he's that's the great all that probably
is the greatest all around baseball player of all time
in my opinion, Rob, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
I answered, I did answer it. I'm the one who's
to get taken after the pinch hitter.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Okay, Oh that's right. Anybody else and I forgot no
everybody else. Well, I'm gonna say one thing I'm looking
forward to putting this in every show, and this is
where we start to So all right, now, this topic's
got Rob's name written all over it. By now people
should know that John, Rob and I are John F.
Kennedy babies. So in order to pay my respects to

(53:01):
Rob Morosco, my colleague on Monday Nights and whatever, I
go on his shows, Okay, I have to put this
one out there. On July tenth, nineteen sixty to John F.
Kennedy throws out the first pitch at the All Star
Game at DC Stadium, and that's what Maury Wolf secures,
scores two runs. William May has had an incredible game
when he gets so maybe ten heard that throw before. Rob.

(53:25):
I have to start off with you with John F.
Kennedy throwing out the first pitch because you and I
are Kennedy babies on this show. You. I can't believe
that you're only eight months younger than I am, because
you look much way better than I do. But my man,
from one Kennedy baby to the other, this is the
only politics I'm talking about. The picture throwing the first
pitch on him and I I'll deal with that, thank you.

Speaker 7 (53:47):
Yeah, I'm glad that he got to throw out the
first pitch at an All Star game before and you
know his tragic death, but and it's it's great because
the All Star Game had a different meeting then because
people didn't they weren't able to see players. They just
heard about certain players because you didn't get to watch them.
Like now, we could watch every game if we want

(54:09):
to watch every game. Back then you had to wait
and even when we were kids, Scott, we had to
wait until the NBC Game of the Week or the
All Star Game or the postseason. So the All Star
Game had a different meeting then, and that he threw
out the first pitch, that was pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (54:28):
I mean, yeah, to to Rob's point, you know, back then,
you didn't have all this all access. You know, you
didn't You pretty much got whatever was on TV that day,
which you know was NBC Game of the Week and
that was who you saw.

Speaker 8 (54:42):
You didn't get you didn't get this.

Speaker 6 (54:43):
You know, this was before you know, the regional before
like local teams had their own channels and things like that. Actually,
the only team that really did that, I think with
the Cubs with WGN, and that's how the Cubs became
known to be.

Speaker 8 (54:55):
But it was always game of the week and the
All Star Game.

Speaker 6 (54:57):
You got to see the guys that you read about
in the new paper at the time, and it was
just a different meeting. Now nowadays, you know, if you
want to watch a certain player, you can, I mean
we have you know, you don't. You don't even need
cable nowadays, you can easily, you can easily bootleg it
off the internet.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Who else if I haven't asked Glad George.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Yeah, John F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy Senior, what a great,
great guy, and I know he loves sports. He obviously, uh,
you know, had some health issues. But Griffith Stadium, the
old stadium in Washington.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
D C.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
That's a great thing.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
I mean, there have been numerous presidents that do like
on the first game of the year, that's pretty unique.
But when you get in an All Star game, and
obviously JFK capitalized on that in his short span obviously
as president.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Yeah, at that time it was I believe it was
named DC Stadium. But I know where you're coming from.
I'll say about because I've been to Dallas, and I
hope everybody has an opportunity to do it. I went
to the observant in Dallas to see the actual spot
where Kennedy was killed up in that area, and this,

(56:08):
if you haven't done it, you have to see it,
you really do. I came away with a much different
perspective of that infamous day in American history. Everybody talked
about Harvey Oshold being the guy that did it. You know,
I bought it for a while, but then all of
a sudden, when I kept going over the tape and
everything that they had, almost became convinced that Lee was

(56:33):
definitely a part of it. But Frank Ruby, is that
who it was? RONA Ruby? Okay, I won't be surprised
if he did it too, But I'll tell you what.
I'm not here to throw theories out there. But it
was really the and the reason why I went down
there is because I was covering the lines in the
Dallas Cowboys on Monday night football. I had an efter
day to mess around, and I decided to use one

(56:56):
of my days to go to the observatory. It was
just so unbelievable. I toured the grounds. So if you've
been over to downtown Dallas, and I swear I spent
ten twelve hours in this place, and I couldn't see nothing.
I'm telling you, I get into these museums, and getting
me into a museum isn't easy, but this was one
that cultivated my interest. You talked about American history, then

(57:19):
I'm definitely going to go in there. Can't you just
so enough? You want to get me into an American
history museum? I can handle that. But I'll tell you
I was about ten to twelve hours. I can tell
you a few hours on Jack Ruby, Lean, Harvey Oswald
and the whole site. It was a sun delieverable. Yeah.
But John F. Kennedy resting peace, John F. Kennedy, I'm
glad we had a chance to talk about Rob and
I being Kennedy babies. We're proud of you out. Your

(57:42):
sample size was short, but your memories are a lot
longer than that final topic of the night. Can't he
put that picture up? Please tell you get it?

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yes? Remember him.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Name?

Speaker 3 (57:59):
And Dan?

Speaker 8 (58:00):
I know who he is the voice of the Tigers.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Yeah, it does. And you know what unfort over the weekend,
Dan Dickerson, they say he had a hot mic because
he went out there and said blank the recap after
the Tigers fifteen and he lost but you know what, Dan,
you don't need any apologies for this one. I'll tell
you why you don't have to apologize even though you did. Okay,

(58:25):
he gets a pass from me on this one. Playback
players on the radio, that's a tough job to begin
with more than TV. He's a great person. Didn't have
a hot mic when it came to homophobic and racial slurs.
So my opinion, I think after that game, like all
of us that were watching it, he was totally exhausted. George,
I'm gonna give you the last word on this Rob
you give him, Danny a pass on it, and you

(58:47):
know that photo. And I'm hoping to get Dan on
the show at some point or another. But Dan is
one of the classics individuals on the planet. Dan, if
you're listening to it, and I'll make sure that George
Rei carn will make sure that you get a copy
of this Ron Colangelo that were we stand behind Dan, George,
that will be one year homework. As Simon Selonono, the
final segment of the show was definitely for Dan. So

(59:09):
the Tigers. Well, if Ron doesn't forget me and he
wants to piece copy in my book, Ronald, no I'm
a Tiger at heart. So but meanwhile, Rob does then
get a pass?

Speaker 3 (59:19):
In your eyes, yeah he gets a pass.

Speaker 7 (59:21):
I mean, first of all, being on radio for that
whole game, it's like almost two games, he had to
be exhausted. I was exhausted watching the game because it
was it went on and on and somebody gonna win
this damn game. So, as far as I'm concerned, yes
he gets a pass.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
Eric.

Speaker 6 (59:43):
I mean, it was just, you know, it was an
unfortunate slip up. I mean, it was game was done.
It was probably like the game was done. He's probably exhausted.
I mean, I'm sure, I don't think he. I don't
think he meant it. It was just a bad moment
where he you know, where it's where it's all said
and done.

Speaker 8 (59:56):
I mean i'man sure.

Speaker 6 (59:58):
I mean apologizing, you know, I get why he had,
why he had to do it. I don't think he
I don't think he had any intention of it. He
just it was unfortunately that Mike was the Mike happened
to beyond. He didn't realize it and after after a
long day, unfortunately though, you know, he he did he's
doing something where you know, it's where's where everyone is listening.

Speaker 8 (01:00:16):
I guarantee you that.

Speaker 6 (01:00:17):
There are bazillions of work people who who come home
and do the same thing after a long day at work.

Speaker 8 (01:00:23):
But but you know, it was fine. You know what happens.

Speaker 6 (01:00:27):
Just you know, let's let's what don't we don't need
to Uh. It wasn't like he said the worst thing
in the world. As a matter of fact, he probably
It wasn't like he was directing it at anybody or anything.
So you know, just just you know, he made a
mistake and he's and he's apologetic for it. Let's not
let's not let's not kick them in anymore and make
him feel bad more than he already is.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Well, he owned it. That's all he had to do.
He didn't have to, but he owned it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:48):
Anyone, all right, let's face it. As being part of
the media, you have to stay uh neutral. But let's
face it, when you are covering a team and you're
calling for a team, you're not going to be completely unattached.

(01:01:09):
I think back at like how Bob Yucker used to
call games and you know for the Brewers and Vin
Scully called and you know, Ernie Harwell, Scott, you told
us many times about stories. They they lead with emotion.
You have to and when your team just played fifteen
innings and lost, you had to be emotional. And did

(01:01:34):
he know that his mic was on or not? No,
he didn't know it was still on. And like Eric said,
it was not derogatory. It was not meant at anybody
or to demean anybody. He was just it was just
an expression. And did he owe and everybody in apology? No,
but kudos for him for stepping up and owning it

(01:01:55):
and doing an apology. But did he did he need to?
Absolutely not. I could totally understand being emotional in that moment.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Troy Airy good evening, Thanks for joining us through Facebook.
We appreciate that Troy. Troy's a good friend of our good.

Speaker 5 (01:02:10):
He's actually at the NCLs game right now, just so
everybody knows too.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Oh wait a Troy. Gary's everywhere. This guy. I love
being in fronts of this guy. Every time you turn
around here you see him here you don't, but I
see you. We've met a few times. Troy's one of
my favorite people out there for sure, and hopefully one
of these days we'll be able to collaborate more than
just through social media. But Troy's class. No way fans

(01:02:36):
or butts about it. This guy is absolutely unbelievable. So
I'm glad that Troy Gary and both football talk with
Will short only fitting. You're gonna is the last word
on this one. You see Dan a lot more, and
I'm sure you'll reach out to Dan let him know
I want them on the show at some point or
another and we'll do that. But go ahead, you take
a class around this rightfully, so you deserve it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Yeah, thank you, Scott. There are so many many times
when your emotions and your frustration let's out. And of
course I don't hold this against him. He's a fine broadcaster,
he said. It was said in a moment of frustration
and not a reflection about how I feel about doing
the game recap. Just it was just about how I

(01:03:18):
felt at the moment, like you guys talked about five
hour fifteen and it season anything lost. So yeah, Dan
has done a great job feeling as you know, Scott,
tremendous shues of Ernie Harwell.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
So Katy, once again, please put that picture up there
Dan thinking about you. That's why I put this picture up,
proud of you, and I was good to see it
back in Miami. So that's that. That does it for
this edition on rate, which as Baseball thought, So Kendy,
want to give us an update on the score and
then we'll go ahead and everybody get out of here.

Speaker 5 (01:03:51):
Yes, it is one nothing, bottom of seventh and it
is the La Dodgers. Freeman hit a home run, and
that is the difference in this game. Snell is still
in there pitching, pitching pretty well. Unfortunately, one hit baseball
right now for the Brewers, the Dodgers have five hits,

(01:04:12):
one run. Like I said, Freeman hit a home run.
So hopefully the Brewers can get hot and get some hits,
string some hits together.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Here Snll the money pitcher. What can I say? So?
But Cat said, we'll have Candy give us a station
break one more time. We'll go around the Horde for
final thoughts and that'll be all for the night. Go ahead, Candy,
one more station break.

I just call Erica Churchurn.

Yes, you can follow me on my on my Twitter

blog at lfsports dot com, where I'm writing about all

I probably don't George, go.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
Ahead, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
You can find my reading my writings rather at the
South Florida Tribune website and the contributor section. And I
have a.

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
Book called Detroit Sports Broadcasters on the Air, featuring over
sixty years of broadcast coverage in the.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Metro Detroit area. Scott's in the book. I'm in the book,
and of course they're great.

Speaker 4 (01:07:39):

that book at the end of my column. You can
reach me at gi Corner Yahoo dot com or Twitter
on sang Sports ninety nine. Also see you on LinkedIn
and on Facebook too.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
All right, Well it does it for us here one
hundred eighth Batball Talk. Great show, great just based on
chat room. More importantly, my who did an outstanding job.
I can't ask so much more than when I had today,
and I have some thoroughbreads out there whinning all of
you on to Kentucky Derby tonight, as you do every
Monday night when you're with me anyway. So at that said,
that does conclude this edition one hundred eight. Such as

(01:08:16):
Baseball Talk, as I mentioned a little bit earlier, there
will be no Talking Baseball this Saturday instead because of
Miami Hurricanes are taking on Louisville Cardinals, and I don't think
I have the steam to do it. And Knty is
probably proud of me for making that decision. Like I'm
taking myself off the road. She doesn't want me to
wear out anyway. She just wants me to use load
management in the right way. And that's when I'm trying
to do is discipline myself and overdo it.

Speaker 5 (01:08:37):
So you have to be right and Scott, I just
want to add a programming note. We have changed Talking
Baseball Instead of nine am Eastern, it'll be switching to
ten thirty am Eastern going forward, even though we're going
to not do one this week, but going forward ten
thirty am Eastern.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
Great point. The reason why we've made that switch is
we want to be able to get people in the
West Coast as well involved. So it's a lot easier
to go ninety minutes ahead so that we can cater
to those. They have a lot of good guests that
are located, so not for to get them to come
up at six. So, but at this particular point, I
want to use load management. I make no bones about it.
I'm trying to be conscious of my Alzheimer's and I'm

(01:09:18):
doing as well. I was able to get actually behind
the wheel yesterday and I was able to drive a little,
so that's some baby steps. I had Candy with me
and I was able to make the drive to where
was it West Fort Lauderdale, Tamarack area, and I felt
pretty goosh with me. Yeah, so sunrise there to go.
I forgot about that, so I felt really good behind
the wheel. I know I have my work cut out

(01:09:40):
for me with this whole Alzheimer's thing, but I'm not
giving up. I have too many things I have to
get done. Why would I stop out. We're getting to
a point where and hopefully by the end of the year,
our goal is THEREA is a million news on YouTube
and we're hovering around eight hundred thousand right now, and
I have a lot more programs that are in the works.
I can't stop right now. I'm having too much fun
every single night we do this. So I got great

(01:10:03):
people around me. So but that's that. Can't thank everybody
enough for being new of us in the chat and
all you that are watching on YouTube everywhere. Even though
you don't comment, at least we understand that there are
a lot of views coming from someplace and we were
appreciative of all of you that tune in. And if
you like what you see, please subscribe to our channel on.
Everybody out there is welcome to come on the show,

(01:10:24):
make your presence felt. We think you're pretty good. We'll
be more than happy to bring on so that doesn't
on behalf of George Reichorn Kaneyampling, Eric Katz, and Rob Morosca.
Thank you very much for joining us on this edition
of one hundred and eight sits as Baithfall Talk. See
you next Monday night. Have a great week, Mayfall Week.
Enjoy the postseason.

Speaker 5 (01:10:41):
I know, enjoy the postseason.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
Go Brewers, our boss, Go Go Crew.
