Speaker 1 (00:23):
Good evening, everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Second round of our doublehead are a great first act
with Professor of People. Tonight we have one hundred and
eight sis of baseball thought. We're gonna be in a
rapid fire. The show will ended approximately nine twenty, so
I have a lot to get to. I have a
great crew to do it with. Uh back as my skipper,
Mickey Catada away. Hello everyone, Oh are you how did
your event go? By the way, mister.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Calloway, Oh, it went great. Mississippi had a great showing.
We went three and oh and the with the twenty
seven grads and uh we hit a lot of bombs.
It was really fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
So you know what that means with you, mister Calling, I.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Still get it.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, that's right. I didn't know very much though, like usual,
you want three more one loss records a lot. That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
All right, Candy, you're back.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Thank you for having me back, Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
And we got my son, Eric Katz.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
It's gonna be back.

Speaker 7 (01:22):
It seems seems like I'm out never tonight with two
guys who were the uniform.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
There you go, man, we have mister Clark. All right,
welcome back to the Big Show. George Korn is gonna
be moved over to the Sports Exchange for a while.
We need a veteran presence over there. I'll be moving
I'll be bringing some fresh faces in there. George is
a jack of all trades. We're glad that he's a
part of our network. But he'll be on the Sports
Exchange for a little while and I'll keep moving people around.
So this is what you have tonight, stay two. We

(01:47):
like to keep it real every Monday night. Anyways, no
better way to start them with the Hall of Fame
class he Tu Suzuki, Billy Wagner, s the Bathia, Nick Allan,
Dave Parker, the latest members Skip.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
How would you assess that class?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Oh? I think that's a great, great class obviously. You know,
in my mind all of those players are very deserving
of the Hall of Fame, and all seemed to be,
and I know personally a few of them just unbelievable individuals,
and the Hall of Fame should be very excited to

(02:23):
have them.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, here's what we got, etrol Szuki should have been
voted in.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
A hundred, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
And whoever the heck didn't vote for him, as golver
Pile was saying.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Shame, shame, shame. Gover Pile made it to an intention.
Baseball talked to the shame shame shame because I'm stupid writer.
It's sad that Dave Parker and Dick Allen got in posthumously,
although Dave Parker recently asked passed away, but at least
he was able to write a nice poem and that
his son was able to go ahead with he Se

(02:57):
Sabbath Billy Wager Etro not getting any better of that,
and let alone the fact that Etro Suzuki is the
first Japanese player ever to make it in the Hall
of Fame. That'll change eventually when you get Sho Heyo
Tani in there. I think one guy who should be
in there should be hit Decade Matsui at some point.
Why he's not in there because he broke rounds to
know the story, But we'll go from there, all right, Candy,
What are your thoughts about the Hall of Fame class?

Speaker 5 (03:22):
I think it was a very good class. I do
feel really bad for Dave Parker and his family. You
know the fact that he knew he was getting in
but not actually being able to accept it since he
passed away. Last month. But kudos to kudos to his
son for stepping up the place plate and you know,
making that speech and reading the poem that you know

(03:46):
for that occasion. I you know, I mean, it's great
to see Zukuro with all this hits. I mean, he
was known for just always getting on base. Like see,
I have a little soft spot. Obviously, he did come
to the Brewers for just just part of a season,

(04:07):
but he made his presence really felt. And he was
really a team player because if any of you know this,
he would pitch. He pitched a lot during that last
half of the year. He would go a couple of
days in a row, you know, even when they were
going for the playoffs and the playoff run and stuff

(04:27):
like that for the Brewers. So kudos to the It's
a good class.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
Eric, I mean great class overall.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
I mean it's getting bad, Scott, because a lot of
the players get into the Hall of Fame now. I
grew up watching as a kid, so it's getting pretty
bad now. And you know, I mean, each hero, you
can't go wrong there. The guy could go to bed
and still hit the ball while laying down at home play.
That's just how special he was. And he was the

(04:56):
first guy to come over. I think one of the
first guys come over from Japan, and people didn't think
he'd become a star. And next thing, you know, two
hundred and sixty two hits later and numerous All Star
Games and other akaloids. I mean, you know, his does
get much better than that. Also, see Sabathia.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
I mean, I'm gonna say Scott, he's one of the last.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
He's one of the truth becoming one.

Speaker 7 (05:16):
He's still really the last of his kind where he
was a give he was a give me the blanket
ball kind of pitcher, and you know, he's you know,
I remember just seeing him countless times at Yankee game
for some reason, every Yankee game I went to, you know,
Sabathia was always pitching. And Dave Parker unfortunate, should have
been elected earlier. Also, Dick Allen definitely should have been

(05:40):
elected earlier. I mean, Billy Wagner, I'm another guy I remember,
great closer for you know, he was especially for the Astros,
and I think he was a big part of that. We're
their first World Series run in two thousand and five.
But you know, great class overall. I mean, you know,
it's you know, I think the writers got this one right,
but many Chiro should have been should have been a
should have been an one hundred percent, just like byronor Rivera.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Okay, well, you know also DeCamp fighting MotorCity Lions. Well
you know he's gonna be returning to fire Off on
Thursday night. Welcome back to the network, Kneecap and Trent.
I'll try to get to the notes by Camp, but
these are gonna be simple topics, so don't worry, and
I'll give you the transcript.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Plater on is af fair enough? Okay, perfectly, I'll do that.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
What we have is really simple stuff, all right, So
let's go ahead and remain with a little bit of
a Brewer's theme Josh had actually it was twenty five
for twenty five and save Opportunities, which is an intangible
for the astro skip where you're talked about the fact
that the astros are gonna be relevant, they're gonna need
Josh Hater to do it.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, I mean, obviously, you want to back your bullpen
to always be solid. If you're going to make a
really good playoff run, you're back of the bullpen has
to be almost flawless in my opinion. And the teams
that have that and they put together and they you know,
really do a good job of thinking how their bullpen

(07:01):
can compliment each other. Those are the teams that really
make a good run in the postseason if there, if
the rest of the team are playing is playing well,
So Hater's got is gonna have to step up. I
have no doubt he will. He's nasty. I mean, I remember,
you know, him facing us a few times and it
kind of feels deflating once he takes that mound and

(07:23):
you're the opposing team because you're like, well, we've got
our hands full trying to score one or two or
three runs off of this guy. So he's he's gonna
be great for him and I have no doubt he'll
do the same thing in the postseason. It's been good
to see, you know, twenty five in a row. That's
that's an amazing feat in and of itself. And uh,
you know, I think the Astros are are feeling pretty

(07:44):
confident with with their ninth ending guy right now.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Well, Kendy's always one of your favorites with the Brewers.
He's doing some pretty good stuff down in h town.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
He's always done the good stuff, like he's had good
stuff for a long time.

Speaker 8 (08:00):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
There are a lot of us that were sad to
see him, you know, get traded and moved from the Brewers. Uh,
but we also know that we're a small market team
and not that we could always afford. You know, some
of the guys that he's such a specialty like I.
You know, he makes a lot of money, but he's
not working like a lot of innings. So can the

(08:21):
Milwaukee Brewers a small market afford that, some would say yes,
of course, but you also need to pay a lot
of other players too. Kudos to him because he's a
really good guy too, not just a great pitcher. Good
for him, Eric.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
I mean saw I saw, I saw a great many
games with with Josh Hater pitching, so you know, I'm
very familiar with him. Obviously, he's always been a great closer.
He's a guy high. He he will dot you at
the top of the zone over at over one hundred
plus occasionally.

Speaker 6 (08:56):
But yeah, it's amazing nowadays.

Speaker 7 (08:59):
How about how about games your bullpen really saves my
forget having the lead, what about when the game is
tied or without the lead?

Speaker 6 (09:07):
It's amazing how much the bullpen factors.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
Into that, and some sometimes the bullpen actually wins you
the game where it keeps it tied or a one
run game and you ultimately go on and you ultimately
go on and win. But you know that's what Josh
haters doing now. Obviously, you know he's been a great
closure for a long time. I always say, I always
say David Stearns when he traded him when the Brewers
were clinging on the first place, I always say he
was an idiot for doing that, and that was one

(09:30):
of his rare blunders during his time running the Brewers'
front office.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
But good to see Hayter doing it. Nice to see
he's showing his worth.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
But better save some gays for the postseason, because I've
seen countless pitchers who do who do amazing things during
the regular season, to get absolutely destroyed in the postseason.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
You have the final word up, Well, I'll say something,
Trank go.

Speaker 8 (09:53):
Ahead, yeah, I mean twenty past says it all right,
like he's you know, anyone anyw and throwing one hundred
percent from the back of the bullpen. Man, it's a
it's a huge confidence boost for your team. He's already
an intimidating guy. Coming from the left side. He's he's
all over the place, man, like, body parts are flying everywhere.
The thing's coming at you one hundred miles an hour.
I wouldn't want to be in the box against this dude.

(10:15):
It's not pretty right You're going in there in just
absolute battle. So like, you know, Mickey got a touchdown, man,
your three runs down, it's like it's a wash man.
And the other thing that I love about hater Man
he comes in with the zone too. He's not nibbling
like he's coming at your heart. He's coming in on
hands and so you know, uh, And I think Catsie
makes a great point too in the fact that, hey,

(10:38):
you know, you got to you got a Mario Rovanna
up to, like you got to show up in the
playoffs and be that guy. But he's a he's a
pretty intimidating factor right now for for an opposite club,
and with those stats and and his legacy of what
he's done so far, when what he did in Milwaukee,
you gotta love the guy, all right.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
You know what, I'm gonna go to the chat room
real quick. I'm just gonna say a quick word about
this and that's that, Okay. I want to Cliff Neil.
I was on a show earlier today with MLD Fans
ninety two and these guys are some my newest talented
guys and on their show today and we're going to
actually promote it on They've sent us the actual gold candy.

(11:15):
We're going to put it up on our network. The Cliff,
this is really great that he brought this up. And
then I'll talk about hater in a moment. Very good
classes here. Next year's first Hall of Fame doesn't teams
teller and maybe a good opportunity to look at guys
like Carlos Felt and I think of all the group
now as he may get in. Andrew Jonathan, I think
is the possibility. But on this show we talked about

(11:37):
Keith Hernanda, don manningly Dale Murphy. I didn't mention Kurt Shilling,
Jeff Kent, and I did mention Lou Whitaker. If there's
anybody that knows how to shoot himself in the football
not getting in the Hall of Fame, Kurt Shilling is
a guy because he's telling you not the vote for him.
If I ever want to call somebody a sick them
head on this show. It is Kurt shilling, but I'm

(11:57):
glad you brought that up. So I'll say this about
Josh Hater. To me, the guy's electric and the thing
I like about Hater the most is a guy not
afraid to go.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
To two or three inas. And that's old school.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
We can talk about these one inning wonders throwing all
these heap and haters, the type of guy that could
have survived in any era. That's why it's one thing
he's got twenty five for twenty five saves. He gives
you a little bit more depth there to save a
bullmend by going a little bit deeper. Great stuff. So
let's go back to the Kneecap finance. Like the fans
freak out all over a bad month of ball. We

(12:30):
saw the Guardians, Mets and Philly's rebound. Who thinks the
Tigers and the Yanchies wet? Absolutely? I mean, this thing
is far from over. The only difference with Tigers is
they built themselves a pretty good cushion. So if you
have one of these typical situations, you're able to whether
it's the storm a little good points by Kneecap. All right,
So as we continue on, Skip, this is a question
that's only gonna be for you only, and it's only

(12:51):
for my manager. In that sense, Bill Clark had strong
words for Rafeel Devers. Next time I see you in
San Francisco, your ass be on the field at first babe,
even if I have to grab you by the by
the blank back of your neck and drag your ass
out there.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
So we all know about it.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
And the follow up on the whole story, Skip is
he ended up playing first base and starting to do it.
It's one thing he didn't want to do it in Boston.
How do you like Will Clark mentioning this to Devs
Because Will Clark, to me, is one of those types
of guy who's the most respectful athlete in the game
of baseball talking to Devor this one only goes to

(13:31):
my manager.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
You know what, I don't mind it at all. I
wish that we had that dynamic that that was there
when back when I played, where you had the older
veteran guys stepping up, putting the younger guys in their
places if they needed to, And it's all about what

(13:57):
is best for the team. And Will is doing this
because he feels like this is what's best for the
organization that he represents, and and I love that kind
of motivation. You know, I wish somebody in the clubhouse
that was actually on the team would have stepped up

(14:19):
and maybe maybe done that and said that to Raffi,
because there's a way to do things, and there's a
way to not do things, and sometimes it's best done
by a teammate. And then in this kind of instance,
with the way Will is and what he does for
the organization, he's more like a teammate. All these special

(14:41):
assistants that come in from time to time. You know,
we had one that was really good in Cleveland when
I was a coach there, Jason Berat, and he ended
up being our bullpen coach for a little bit. But
he when he was a special assistant, he was more
like a player in that clubhouse where he could really
help lead some of those young players and even the

(15:04):
older players. You know, sometimes you just things have to
be said, and a manager, it's almost impossible for a
manager to do it. So coming from a player or
a special assistant is a wonderful thing and hopefully it
lights a little bit of a fire into Raffi and
he realizes that, Hey, maybe I've been a little bit

(15:25):
of a prima donna and I need to kind of
write this ship. I'm sure the next time Will Clark
is in town, RAFFI will be out there and listening.
So I love what Will did, and I wish that
kind of stuff went on a little bit more in
the clubhouse at this time.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
That's why you're the only one who got the word
on it, because anybody's lived it, it's definitely you, and
I was glad that Will Clark did it. If there's
anybody that I can really classify as a San Francisco giant, skip,
it's definitely Will Clark. I would say he's mister Giant.
In fact, on this show, a lot of these guys
are asking me why at McCovey Cove and not Bond's Cove.

(16:03):
You know what I said, Well, if you want Bond's Cove,
you might as well call it Astros.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Cove, Okay, is what I said on that show.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
And if you want to talk about May's Cove, well,
I think part of the reason why you ended up
not having it that is because William Mays came there
on the back end of his career and did a
lot of his good work in New York, and that's
why I signed it there. But I had a good
time on the show. I'm going to actually send a
lot of you guys this show that I was on
because this guy here, Rob Morosco and Chris Pezazio, I

(16:36):
just call him Pizza.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
These guys are superstar. You guys are going to meet
him at some point.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
These guys are characters if I ever saw an In fact,
I went on their show. These guys are absolutely phenomenally.
You all get a chance to meet them. All right, Well,
you know what skipping on Once upon a time talk
about Trevor Bower. Guess what we're doing it again? Trevor
Bower sent down to NPB minor leagues Dana Yohama Banksters

(17:00):
the worst era four point one three among twenty four
qualified starters in the Nippon Baseball League.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Skip.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
We all saw the sign up Trevor Bauer. This is
where it's come to. What are your thoughts about what's
going on?

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Trevor. It's tou bad.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I still think he belongs to MLB, but this is
not helping his cause to get back. But give me
your talk about Trevor Roberts Kipp.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Well, I mean, first of all, obviously there's some really
good pitching going on in the Japanese League right now.
For his four point one e RA to be the
worst of unqualified starters, that's that's almost insane. So the
hitting must be down in Japan these days. But you know, Trevor,
Trevor's Trevor's in a tough spot. You know, obviously he

(17:42):
wants to get back to the major leagues. He's very
vocal about it. He is eligible to come back, and
then you go over to Japan to try to show
some of the teams, hey, I've still got it. You know,
he's been doing that for a couple of years, going
around Mexico Japan and and putting up really good numbers,

(18:03):
put up extremely good numbers in Mexico last year, and
now all of a sudden he finds himself down in
the minor leagues. From what I know of Trevor Bauer,
he will he will come back and pitch back in
the major leagues over there in Japan and do really well.
This kid, he's a he's a worker. That's That's one

(18:26):
thing I will say about this guy is he's going
to put the time in to write whatever's going wrong,
and uh, you know, he's going to become better and
better and and make some adjustments and I think he'll
be back up there and pitching really well. You know,
pitching is not an easy thing. Hitting is not an
easy thing, and sometimes you go through slumps and ups

(18:48):
and downs, and this is just a little bit of
a down spot. You know, from my experience playing overseas
when I played in Korea. When you go over there
and you sign to play and in Asia, the expectations
are exponential. So if you're not hitting four hundred with
a bunch of bombs, or you know, making all star teams,

(19:10):
leading the league and wins and things like that, then
you're gonna get sent down pretty quick. So you know, unfortunately,
he's he's in that spot right now for him, and
I think he'll make his way back up there and
kind of prove to them that he belongs back up
in that you know, major leagues there in Japan, and
you know what, Hey, the kid made a mistake. Everybody

(19:33):
deserves the second chance, and I hope to see him
back in the in the in the big leagues at
some point. I know he's got a huge following on
social media. There's tons of fans that want him back
in the major leagues, and like we've talked about before,
the fan we we do this for the fans, and
I think at some point, if the fans raise enough

(19:55):
Cane that he'll get back in in major League Baseball,
if he's not too old or whatever. You know, it's
gonna be tough though, because he's been out of it
for so long now to go back and compete at
the major league level. It's totally different than Mexico and
Japan and what have you. But that would be a
tough road. But I'd like to see him get that chance.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
While I'll give his agent, Rachel Luba a lot of credit.
At least she's finding the guy at work anyways, and
that's keeping helping her build her business. Rachel Luba does
a really good job. I understand the way she works
as she charges by the hour, not by the amount.
So Rachel has done a really good job marketing Trevor,
and the sign him with a good agent is what
Rachel's doing, all right, Trent, pick it up?

Speaker 8 (20:36):
Yeah, I think you know, Mickey Tess a really good point,
which is when you go across you are, you're the
guy like it's it's such a big deal. They expect
the American players and the players to come over from
MLB if they're a foreign player here but got time here,
and then they're going over, whether the Latin American or
anything else. It is a first round draft choice kind

(20:56):
of deal. Right, All the expectations are on you. So
really anything over too is like a loss to them,
which is crazy, right Like at two point OEI right,
like he's a great pitcher. I can't believe. I can't
believe a four to one gets you down in the
miners in Japan, I'm questioning the offense in that league
because I don't know what the heck's going on after
watching MLB all weekend at stadiums with my son, Man,

(21:18):
there's a lot of matching going on right now, Man,
there's there's a lot of and uh. I was at
the Tigers game Friday night where Montero, I don't think
he missed any bats man, Like, I was just like,
I think that fourteen hits by the fifth inning, man,
it was it was crazy. And and Toronto put on
a clinic. But you got when you go over there,
Trevor's a great picture. If you if you missed that expectation,

(21:39):
you know, you might need a reset like that. And
hopefully for Trevor, it's just a week or two reset,
get back up there, get his focus back up on
what he needs to do, because he does need to dominate.
He needs to show that he owns Japan. So he
gets that opportunity to come back here. And many players
have done that. And uh as as most of us know,
like we this, a guy gets hot for two months,

(22:03):
you know, and all of a sudden throws up a
point seven e r A for two months. Listen, he's hot.
Trade deadline. You know you need you need somebody for
the playoffs, like he's not. He's down, but not out.
I think Trevor's gonna be just fine.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
I've got a guy in New York MLB Talk. I
was on their show today, So a lot of you
folks that wonder what I was talking about earlier, please
subscribe to their YouTube channel. These guys are absolutely phenomenal.
They allowed me to promote my book, they allowed me
to go ahead and talk baseball, and they are gonna
be commentators on this network of both of them, so
they allowed me to promote my book the website. These

(22:39):
guys are between Rob and Pizza. Okay, these guys are
a one in my book. All right, can't see let's
talk about Trevor.

Speaker 6 (22:48):
Yeah, four point one three.

Speaker 7 (22:50):
A lot of teams in baseball now would beg to
have that kind of picture in their rotation, because that's
like average in MLB. If you if you were like
to average out everyone, every single picture is the r
A would probably come out to something like that.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
But you know, it's tough.

Speaker 7 (23:05):
I mean, even the great pitchers are gonna get hit
around from time to time.

Speaker 6 (23:08):
There's gonna be times where where.

Speaker 7 (23:10):
Unless your name is Paul Skeans, and unless your name
is Paul Skans, which you don't get hit around there
very often.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
You know, you're gonna have games where you're just where
you're just you're just.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
Not throwing the ball well, and you look like you
look like the teetotals and bugs bunny. And but here's
the thing about Bower guys. I mean, yeah, he's gotten
getting work overseas, which you know, good for him for
him being able to continue his career in baseball. But
the fact of the matter is the guy's thirty four
years old. The arm is starting to slow down a

(23:39):
little bit. Unless you're Jimmy Morris and the rookie where
you estimate your throwing eighty five eighty six miles an
hour and all of a sudden you clock that thing
back up to like ninety six to ninety eight. The
odds of you coming back in this in Major League
Baseball are are not very high.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
It's a young person, it's a young man's game. You know.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
They're going with the guys who, especially nowadays, you know,
say call it right or wrong. You know, I think
I think the average speed of pitch right now is
about ninety two miles an hour, give or take. Back
in the day, it was like eighty nine, which you
know that that would make you an ace on a
lot of teams staffs. But they're looking at they're looking
at guys who can throw it, like who can throw
at ninety plus with a few guys who's got who's

(24:20):
got an off speed pitch? Who can just make that
thing dance all over the place. But he's thirty four,
he's not coming back. I mean, too much time missed
and is also his biggest problem is not what he
was accused of and obviously you know it was later,
it was later all you know what, everything that came
with that mess. But you know the problem is he
won't shut up. Dimingo Hermond Dimingo Herman, for example, got

(24:45):
got into gotten had some serious problems with alcohol and
also I think he also hit his girlfriend or whatever,
but and still managed to pitch with the Pittsburgh Pirates
for a little bit because he shut up and lay low.

Speaker 6 (24:56):
Trevor Bower is not doing that. If you just shut
up and lay low, you'll come back.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
For example, in football, Michael Vick shut up and lay low,
and he got numerous opportunities to still play in the NFL.
But the thing is, guys, I think Trevor Bauer has
has burnt, has burned every bridge he came across with
given what's happened to him, and I just don't see
him coming back, especially given his age.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
I love going act MLB talk. By the way, it
is Rob skipping. He's actually the Mets guy. He's gonna
be one of your future teammates, will be coming on
the show in the matter of a few weeks and
being a regular.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Rob You and Chris are still the best.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I mean and so for all you folks out there
that for New York MLB Talk, please subscribe to the
YouTube channel and they are now a partner of the
South Foord A Tribute as well. Candy, go ahead and
talk about Trevor Bower, lots of other things to get to.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
You know, all of you guys make some good but
I kind of want to lean towards Eric. I'm not
sure at thirty four, you know, knowing what he's been through,
that any team will go out and want to take
a chance on him. At this point, we are seeing
younger and younger and younger guys come through the system

(26:07):
and really do well. I mean, like the scoop balls
and the schemes and all that I mean, and they're
just young, and so I don't know that any team
is going to take a chance on him. I mean,
of course there's there's always a possibility, but I'm not
so sure that it's that there's one out there that's
going to do that. So we might have seen the
last of him in MLB.

Speaker 8 (26:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
I hope he gets a second chance. Go ahead, Trent,
you have the final word on it.

Speaker 8 (26:33):
I think a small market may take may take a
chance on a flyer on his social market because he's
a guy who could draw and sell tickets on the end,
like he's gonna draw in like a couple of million followers,
and so if he draws it in a small market,
could jump on it. It's still a business. I got.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
I got one more thing, you know. I think that
obviously teams are staying away for a reason, and it
not his ability to pitch. You know, on average, every
major league team uses about eleven starters per per season, Okay,
And there's no way that there's eleven starters on every

(27:13):
you know, major league team or an organization that are
better than Trevor Bauer. So it's definitely there's a little
more to it. And the one thing I will say
about Trevor is, you know, people talk about the clubhouse
presence and maybe he's a little bit of a cancer
in the clubhouse. That was not my experience with Trevor
at all. Is Trevor outspoken, absolutely, But I will say

(27:37):
this about him. I've never seen another pitcher help out
his teammates with pitching and mechanics and things of this
nature more than Trevor Bauer. He has such a passion
for pitching. He loves to teach it. He is constantly
in dialogue with all the guys on our team and

(27:59):
helped them lot of our pictures tremendously throughout. He helped
me a lot. I learned a ton from him because
he's you know, he's into the science of it and
stuff like that. So, you know, if it's they think
he's a clubhouse presence and a cancer in the clubhouse,
I think they're mistaken. If they have other reasons, then

(28:19):
that's there's their prerogative. But I'm with Trent. You know,
there's if a small market team signs them, not only
are they going to get one of their best five
pitchers in the organization. I don't know that he can
be a number one or number two anymore, but definitely
a number five or six or seven if you're using
eleven starters per per per year. But they will get

(28:40):
some following for sure, you know, Like like Trent said,
there's a couple million people that are going to be
following Trevor Bauer would have whatever team he plays for.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Well, I'll say this, the only one not sign uple
on the planet is Colin Kaepernick.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Period.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
He's the only one Trevor Bower. Come on chance, you
mean to tell me this guy is better than what
a lot is out there? Really seriously, really, I don't
have charge. I can't kick around on his broadcast. I
need to get my really seriously really moments off my
chest things.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yes, so, Scott, you know, every every one of these
kids that I'm working with these days from seventeen down,
I asked them, hey, who do you follow on social
media to look at mechanics and things like that, and
probably ninety nine percent of them say Trevor Bauer. So
he's putting out good content. He's he knows how to pitch,

(29:36):
and he knows mechanics and biomechanics, and you know he's
he has a following like like no other in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Well, I hope, I'm telling you, I hope he gets
another chance. And you know full well I believe in
second chance that anybody else want to comment on this,
candy everybody has everybody gotten their piece on this? Yeh yeh,
all right, well everybody knows I'd like to pull out
bizarre stats out of my pocket.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
I got a good one for it ready.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I'm sure everybody's the bizarre state of the week is
presented by Southward Trivia nicking anybody that wants to be
part of the whole thing. But Lon Soto twenty twenty
five salary sixty one point nine million, the Marlin's opening
day roster forty seven point nine million dollars. That isn't

(30:18):
bad enough. The Miami Marlins are eight one and one
in their last ten series, eight wins, one loss, and
a split. First of all, skip two part question your
thoughts about what Juan Soto's done, and then the second
part of the question, what do you think about those
scrappy Marlins?

Speaker 6 (30:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah, I mean, Jan Soto is obviously a great hitter.
You know, he's gonna hit, and you know he's gonna
have his up and downs like like anybody else would.
But this man can really hit. You know, I'm sure
he's not putting up the numbers he'd he'd like to,
you know, especially with this big, huge contract. You know,

(31:01):
that's a lot to live up to. You know. I
think that the point that kind of stands out to
me is is it really worth paying anyone that kind
of salary to be on your team? Is that really
going to put you over the edge or can you
use some of that money, pay somebody half of that

(31:23):
and get two guys, or use some of that money
to better develop your players in the minor leagues. That
that is the secret to the Guardians, to the Rays
and all these teams that have these small markets. They're
not putting as much money into the players, but what
they're putting money into is maybe let's call it research

(31:45):
and development. Right, they're feeding these guys the right way.
They're I mean the Guardians when I was there coaching
in that organization, they developed coaches players. It was all
about nutrition, getting every ounce of ability out of every
player you possibly can. And then you end up having

(32:05):
you know, the Jose Ramirezes and and Corey Klueber's and
Carlos Carrasco's and Frankie Lindor's, and you're developing these players
to be complete major league players, and now you can
win at the major league level. So you know, it's
it's hard to kind of figure out what the secret
formula is, but some of these small market teams are

(32:27):
doing a really good job of it. All.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Right, now, your thoughts about the what Marlin's are doing
eight one on one and they came away, they won
I think the last three or fourth series they've beat
Milwaukee impressively. This team is looking good. We cover this
team on a regular basis. This is not no typical
fire sale that they went through this time. Peter Bendix,
to me, deserves the Albert Einstein and worked for doing.

(32:52):
But what are your thoughts about what the Marlins are doing.
We're gonna have more on them next week, But I
just thought that this is interesting comparing to Soto's salary,
let alone to the entire salary of an entire team.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Right, Yeah, it's fun to see those type of teams succeed.
Right You're a You're in a market down there where
there's not a ton of pressure, you can play without,
you know, any distractions pretty much, and once you get rolling,
you can keep that rolling for a long time. So
I love watching these young teams that succeed and start
getting on a roll, and you start seeing them get

(33:23):
better and better and get that confidence going, and all
of a sudden, you know, they turn into something for
a few years. So I'm excited to see where the
Marlins can get in the next few years. And obviously,
like you said, Bendix is doing an amazing job to
be able to get them going in the right direction.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
So in the chat room, Chris says, only Marlin's only
six out of the last wildcard spot. They're going to
be very interesting to watch it the trade deadline. I
still have a gut feeling that selling Alcantara's going to
end up with the Mets. I made that prediction on
that show earlier. I still feel they do. But the
fact that they have so many good young prospects in
that organization, normally it would be a catastronic move just

(34:00):
may not be as cataclystic of a move if they
keep developing players at the right that they're going. Katie's
following the Marlins for a while. First of all, your
brief thoughts on Soto and what the Marlins are doing.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Do I think any one baseball player is worth that
much money? No, but I don't think any sports player.
The amount of money that some of these athletes are
making is just unfathomable to me. But that's neither here
nor there. Now his salary compared to the Marlins, and

(34:34):
then the success that the Marlins are having. You know,
when teams are having fun, when teams gel and are,
they have the camaraderie and not the bickering and I'm
better and I need more ball or anything. Those are
the teams that have success because they're playing for each
other and they're having fun doing it. They want to

(34:57):
be playing and being out there, and I think sometimes
that's why you see some of these small market teams
have success. You know, I know we're not talking about them,
but I know Sunday's game the Brewers won. They won
with a late walk. You know, Perkins had a hit
to have the Brewers take the lead and win the game.

(35:19):
After the game, the manager was crying because Perkins, who
had that hit, had been had had an injury and
has been out for months before that. So to see
a guy come back and do things like that, but
to see a manager have that kind of emotion tells
you about that team and how much they care for

(35:40):
each other as a team. And I think sometimes you know,
it's that raw emotion that you need to see out
of teams and to see out of managers and players,
and that that's what helped propel and encourage teammates to
do better and to have success. It's these it's the

(36:02):
New York teams that have, you know, the pressure on
them and then they're all pressure, and then they go
into these slumps and they have more pressure and more pressure,
and everybody's talking about them. Well, the small market teams
that people aren't talking about that don't have as much pressure,
and then they can turn things around, and it's fun
to see. It's fun to watch that kind of baseball.

Speaker 7 (36:23):
Eric, I mean, you know, obviously Wance with what wants
I was doing right now. You know, he's having a
good year, no doubt. I mean, he's always obviously a
tremendously talented player, but he kind of reminds me of
what happened when Ken Garofy Junior left the Mariners and
went to the Reds.

Speaker 6 (36:38):
He wasn't nearly as good, but that was doing part
too injuries. But I digress. But you know, Tomorrow's this year.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
You know they're there.

Speaker 7 (36:46):
They seem to be coming of age a little bit.
They got some guys in that team, like Augustine Ramirez.
They also have Kyle Stowers, who's kind of fusted onto
the scene out of nowhere, and and he looks like
a stud boy. I think Baltimore is Baltimore is really
kicking themselves for trading for trading him for Trevor Rodgers
and but you know, but you know, man, they've they've

(37:08):
they've done a good job developing so far. Now, you know,
do I think I mean trading away Sandy. I don't
think it'll be that bad because this team is is
not expecting. This team is not expecting to contend this year.
I mean, it's nice to see them relevant, but you know,
but I think, you know, the prospect they'll get for them,
I think will set them up better in the long run.

(37:29):
I mean, Peter Bendix, I think finally the Marlins have
done something right. It's not nearly the dysfunction, the chaos
that was Jeffrey Lauria and David Samson, but you.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
Know, it's it's good to see them.

Speaker 7 (37:42):
I'm hoping that the nleast gets a lot, gets a
lot more competitive. And you know, I think the Marlins
could easily be very you know, could be very raised,
like if they do it right.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
I'll say this, and I'm gonna get Clark in the
last word on it. If you haven't heard of Clayton McCullough,
this guy here is going to be one of the
managers in baseball. I say it two or three years
I've worked with a guy who are the most pleasant
guys I've ever worked with in my years covered the game,
and I've covered it for the better part.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Of over forty years.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Number one, and the second thing I'm gonna ad and
then Clarky has a final word on it. The two
times that the Marlins have won the World Championships, they
went in as a wildcard entry. Wildcard people wildcard get
in the tournament. Clark you have the final word.

Speaker 8 (38:25):
They'll bring up that ninety seven crap with me, Motor City.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Don't but that you brought it up.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
Go ahead, bo it was bought.

Speaker 8 (38:33):
Yeah, yeah, you got it, So listen for me. Like,
you know, one, I would have loved the stat you know,
you think about one player, the model's bad, Like and
I heard all of you say it. All of you said, team, team, team.
You can't give one player that kind of money, Like
it's a bad formula because you're putting too much emphasis
on him and he's a good player.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
Is is there any player.

Speaker 8 (38:56):
Worth sixty one million dollars a year? Like it's bad business, right,
Like it's bad business, you know, and in our business
we talk about this, like you can't have one client
that's ninety percent of your revenue, because what happens if
you lose that revenue. You're like, oh my gosh, we
got no sales and you're letting everybody go on the team.
It's crazy. It's a bad model. So you know, when

(39:17):
I look at that and you talk about the team,
I wish you did. We would have added one hundred
and ten million dollars on the disabled list out in
LA right, Like when you talk about these stats, how
are we mucking this thing up? Like it's it's crazy
when we're not looking at the holistic approach. When you're
a small market, and Mickey was there with the Angels
in O two, we're diving into that. You've got to

(39:39):
look at everything. And Cleveland had developed like they're looking
at every lane in the pool and they're developing each
lane for what they need to do, nutrition, hitting, pitching.
You know, think about everything runners, how we're acting on
the field. Where we got coaches that we can be
stronger here, What where's our weaknesses, where's our stre it's

(40:00):
balancing it constantly. When you're a small market, you have
to do all the small things, and so your attention
to detail is much better and I'm back in that
tribe day with the development of Russell Brandon, Sean Casey,
Jeremy Burnett's Brian Jowles, all of which had no influence
in Cleveland and became all stars with other programs on

(40:22):
Great Trades that helped Cleveland shore up playoff contenders, trading
these Triple A superstars and you got no position for
him because you're solid in every position. You're looking across
that lineup going where would we put them, you know,
like any and and they're great. You're you're dying to
find that spot, but you can't. You can't move Russell

(40:43):
Brandon in for for who our bell? Like come on, like,
you know, how are you gonna do it? It's crazy.
So it's a huge challenge. But when you develop those players,
it creates value across the market. You know, in Anaheim,
we were so strong and O two because you're only
as strong as your weakest link, right, we didn't have
a lot of weak links. We were very solid throughout.

(41:05):
We're also very healthy going into the finals. You're not
losing key players like a Garrett Anderson or Scott Erstad,
Deren Erstad or Benji Molina. Your catcher we've got some
great arms. You can't afford to lose like a young
like Lackey and some of the guys who are just
making such a big impact of Mickey Callaway. You can't
lose that guy, right. So when you have that like

(41:28):
and you have everybody ready to go, they are physically fit,
they're they're mentally, they're emotionally, they're morally conditioned for this.
They are ready for what's about to happen, and they
know exactly their role. The small market teams are very
focused on that, and I think some of the big
market that put in big money, they're like, ah, the

(41:48):
three guys who carry us, they got seventy five million
dollars and we've seen it time and time again. Great
pitching will knock that out and it's not going to
be enough.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Well, I'll say about a number one sixty one million
dollars in a lot for one guy. Okay it is,
And like Skip says, you know, why don't you invest
it in a couple of other ways to get at
more balance on that roster. Now, how much money you spend,
it's how you spend it wisely. So I will go
the way Skip a little bit of information here, and

(42:20):
that's this Skip talked about Corey Klueber. Here's a little
uppate for Clover ready, Skip, The Cleveland Guardians hired the
former veterans started Corey Klueber as a special assistant for pitching.
What are your talks about that hired?

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Skip?

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Oh, I love it. You know Corey Klueber obviously tu
Cy Young's when I was there, and he is was
a tremendous pitcher, probably one of the better pitchers in
Cleveland Guardian's history. So for him to get to go
back and be around those young pictures and and again,

(42:55):
this is what we were talking about a minute ago.
Cleveland will do anything, in air everything. They're not investing
a ton of money in Corey Klueber anymore. They're going
to pay him a very low salary. He's gonna show
up and he's gonna make their young pitchers exponentially better.
You know that this is a you know they're probably

(43:16):
paying him. I don't know, a couple one hundred thousand
dollars doesn't have to pay dish out millions. You get
Corey Klueber access for your young pitchers to come in
there and get to pick a two time cy Young
Award Winner's brain. This is the kind of things that
these small market teams do to put them in a

(43:37):
position where they can get two percent better or one
percent better every day. And that's the approach they take.
And I love that Corey Klueber's back over there having
an influence. You know, these guys that had ultra success
in the big leagues to be able to go back.
He doesn't have to do this. He made enough money
where can just stay at home. He's going back because

(43:58):
he wants to help the young players, help out the
organization that gave him so much. And I love this idea.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Anybody else want to add to this. I got a
lot of other things I want to get to. Anybody else,
go ahead, Eric.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
I mean, you know Coreig Klueber, I mean just great
guy overall.

Speaker 7 (44:16):
I mean, same guy day in and day out, whether
he's hurt, whether he's pitching, pitching like a cy On
Calber Pitt, or he's got Tommy John surgery.

Speaker 6 (44:23):
Same same guy, day in and day out. That's one
thing you have to admire about him.

Speaker 7 (44:27):
I was happy when he had his moment in the
sun when he was able to chuck a no hitter
for the New York Yankees, which was the first one
in a really long time up to that point.

Speaker 6 (44:36):
But you know, good for Cleveland.

Speaker 7 (44:38):
I mean, Cleveland's probably one of the smartest organizations in baseball.

Speaker 6 (44:42):
I mean what they do a lot with a little.

Speaker 7 (44:46):
I mean they I mean, the day's gonna come where
they get that World Series ring when they break it,
it's it's gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (44:52):
I mean every year they always have a chance.

Speaker 7 (44:54):
Whether it was you know, when Terry Frank Connor was
there that you know seven seven to ten m at night,
that team had a chance every night. And and the
same can be said about Stephen Volte, same thing, folks,
even become become a great manager himself, leading that team
to the a l c S set to the a
l c S last season in his first year in
the dugout. But you know, gosh, you got who knows,

(45:18):
maybe Tanner Tanner Bibbey was already a good picture. I
think the guy could be with maybe picking some ideas
from Clover, the guy could be an All Star caliber pitcher.

Speaker 6 (45:26):
I think he can be.

Speaker 7 (45:27):
And maybe Shane bab which I think I think Mickey
remembers him as as as a as a very young pitcher.
That guy could get back to cy young form. But man,
you know, good for Clover, you know, happy, happy he's
back because you know he true, because he truly was
the best picture on that staff at that at that
moment in time at one point, and and his and

(45:50):
his stuff really moved at the time.

Speaker 6 (45:52):
Wasn't a big wasn't gonna overpower you, but his stuff moved.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
At one point we talked about women's professional softball. But
now that we got Skip on the broadcast, we're gonna
go ahead and bring up a couple of numbers and
one his opinion, Kim Ming obviously the commissioner of the league,
but athletes unlimited by the numbers commissioner kim means they're
opening numbers sold out, four games, two point six million
engagements on aus L social channels, four point four million

(46:22):
minutes viewed on MLB dot com and MLB TV. The
impressions on AUSL social channels are forty eight point two
million plus one hundred and sixty and ninety nine social
media follower Skip. What are your thoughts about what Kimman
is doing and how do you.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Like this league?

Speaker 3 (46:40):
I think it's awesome. I mean Obviously, this is a
chance for these girls to come out and shine. And
I don't know how much softball you guys watch, but
I got to go to a few Ole Miss softball
games this year and it's one of the most exciting

(47:01):
things I've ever been to. You know, I think that
this is something that can really take off and it's
going to get a huge following because it is exciting.

Speaker 8 (47:12):
You know.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
The WNBA, in my opinion, is not that exciting to watch,
but you get these girls throwing the equivalent of ninety
nine to one hundred from forty feet or whatever it is,
and to see them play defense the way they do
and hit the ball like they do it is really exciting.
So I'm exciting to see what happens with all this,

(47:35):
and it's awesome that Kim has put them in a
really good situation. Obviously, they're really well run, and that's
what it takes to obviously succeed. You've got to have
those that leadership up at the top doing the right things,
and it looks like they're on their way. And I
even had some softball players start to reach out to

(47:58):
me for just general lessons just to learn how to,
you know, throw and.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Things like that.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
So I think it's I think it's awesome and what
an exciting game this is, uh, you know, this game
of softball, Eric.

Speaker 6 (48:13):
I mean, softball is how I got was how I
got my start in sports.

Speaker 7 (48:16):
I always remember the original NPF League when I was there,
actually was a was a broadcaster when I when when
they had me on for the internship when I was twenty,
when I was twenty and.

Speaker 6 (48:26):
Still in college. And but yeah, it's it's great to
see it's growing.

Speaker 7 (48:30):
It's great that they're marketing it because it was like
it was one thing that league struggled with, and I
think they've kind of righted the wrongs from that period
of time that they've been able to get more people
and show them how just how great it was. I mean,
you know, I was fortunate enough when I when I
was doing it to see the Monica Abbots, the cat Ostrumans,
the Natasha Wattley's.

Speaker 6 (48:49):
Of the world and and see them play. But it's
an exciting game.

Speaker 7 (48:52):
I mean, it's a little more quicker pace than baseball,
but it's still equally as exciting because man, when you
measure like the speedo a softball, it's a bigger ball
than a baseball.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
You know, you could you can clock it up there.

Speaker 7 (49:05):
It's it's coming like a role as Chapman past, believe me,
and but it's it's great to see what it's what's becoming.
I'm hoping that they continue with the momentum and I'm
hoping that they continue to uh to get the stars
from the NC Double A because the College World Series
is is always is always huge every year, and I'm
hoping that they can just they can continue that and

(49:25):
ride that wave.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Okay, Clarky and Candy and then Candy after that you
go to a station and break with us.

Speaker 8 (49:32):
Okay, Yeah, I find I like Katsy mentioned it, but
I I find the College World Series and oftentimes I'm
flipping over to the women's softball more than baseball. Sometimes
it's a fast game and I like it, and uh,
you know, I like it athletes, you know, and uh,
I'm also a physically fit guy too, Like I like,

(49:54):
you know, that's my background right as a strength guy.
So I like these athletes how they're getting in shape,
ysically kind of playing the game a little different and
they really exploit that. Uh. In the softball game, you
can see the girls have changed. If I if I
watch softball from ten years and I look at the
physical the physicality of the athletes now, it's it's significant.

(50:16):
And maybe maybe it's just the way they changed uniforms
and stuff that they're showcasing that I don't know. But
it's fast, it moves very quickly. There's a lot of
strategy going on, which I which I dig a lot,
and and the tempo is is very intense, which serves me.
You know, I'm a football guy playing baseball, right, so

(50:36):
for me, it's it's a it's a lot of fun.
So it's great to see them come out of the
gate with a with a some real nice wins. Got
got to build up momentum and.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Keep going, all right, Candy got the last word on
this to go to the station break.

Speaker 5 (50:50):
You know, it's the sport I've actually played, and I've
played lots of it. I've I played in high school.
I played girls softball, so I played fast pitch. I've
played both fast pitch and slow pitch. I was a
pitcher in both leagues. I've played catcher in both leagues.

Speaker 6 (51:10):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
I love the fact that women's sports has taken everyone's
taken more of an interest in some of these women's sports,
and they're gaining traction. And I love it because for
years and years and years we've always showcased the men's
side of things, you know, baseball and football, and now
you're starting to see more women's women in sports, whether

(51:33):
it be in man's sports or whether it be you know,
women's softball, w NBA college you know, women's college basketball.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
I just love it.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
And yes, it is a very fast paced game, and
it is a lot of strategy, a lot of thinking,
and you gotta you gotta know and react real quickly
and stuff. But I love I love it. So with that,
I'm gonna do my station break. South Florida Tribune Publishing

Speaker 2 (53:23):
All right, the only softball story I'm going to tell
you right now is the most comical one. And again
you guys know me well enough. Number one, it is
the most expensive sport that I have ever played. And
I'll tell you why it is the most expensive sport
that I have ever played. I played softball for a
home improvement team, and I used to die for bald
barrelin defenses, and that was in bed on the outfield grass.

(53:45):
But when you're slow like I am, and people say
I am slow, maybe not advanced turtle, but pretty darn
clothes and you're sliding into paced pass and you're tearing
seven or eight pairs of pants during the course of
the air. It seemed like every other week. I had
to buy a new pair of pant after that quite
after a while. So when you want to talk about
me being fast, no, it was expensive. It's a great sport.

(54:09):
And I'm proud of anything that Kim Ying does because
whatever kream Ining does, it turns into gold. And let
alone the fact that, let's not forget she even led
the Marlins to the playoffs. There you go, all right,
let's talk about the athletics.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
The most expensive ticket in baseball, according to Bob Nightingale
of USA today, is one hundred and eighty one dollars
in West Sacramento with a fourteen thousand seats suitor Hell Park.
That's a lot of money, right, But I'll tell you
what though, let's cushion the Blobe for this one, and
I don't talk about what transpired over the weekend. Nick

(54:46):
Kurtz went six for six, although he did this in Houston,
but he's still worth seeing in a fourteen thousand seast stadium.
But he goes six for six. The four home runs
it runs ain't RBI twenty two year old rookie. One
of the greatest games in baseball history, and he's the
first rookie to record for home runs and a game.

(55:09):
So Scip, what are your thoughts about the ticket prices
in Sacrimento?

Speaker 3 (55:15):
That that's pretty steep. You know, I don't know that
I'd want to go pay that that kind of money,
you know, to take my family to go see a
baseball game. You know, I wish, I wish overall that
the ticket prices would go down, will be a little
bit more affordable. You know, they're getting so much money
that from TV revenue and things like that. That's where
these owners make money is from the TV and then

(55:39):
when they go to sell the team. So let's let's
let's put the ticket prices down a little bit so
a family of four can go go see a game
and not have to spend four or five hundred dollars.
It's kind of getting out of control. You know. The
gate money is, I think is two to three four
million a game, and that's nothing, you know, when you're
paying someone sixty I mean I think probably you know,

(56:04):
uh sotos making that one game or something. So let's
cheapen up the ticket prices and let these young kids
and these families go enjoy the America's pastime a little bit.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
Yeah, we're talking about sooner. Hell, Parker was Zacramento's. Yeah,
they don't have a lot. Do you think that's a
little bit steep over there?

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Yeah, I've been. I've been over there. Uh yeah, that's
pretty steep.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Well, it's okay, there's a lot of money. Always spend
that kind of money. If I don't get a press potential,
I'm not going anyways around. That's a different animal. So
all right, So the second half of these things is
what are your talks about the accomplishments about what Nick
Kirch did over the weekend, and let alone the fact
that they Get this, the Houston Astros were outscored by

(56:50):
the Athletics thirty two to seven in that series, and
the Athletics swept the Astros as well.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
So let's talk about the Nick Kirk part of the equation.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
Yeah, I mean, what an awesome game. I mean for
the fans that are there, that got to see that
that will not happen again in their lifetime. I mean,
obviously anything's possible, it could happen next week, but more
than likely that's not gonna happen again in their lifetime.
So what a treat for the fans to get to
go and see a performance like that, you know, once

(57:21):
in a lifetime performance. So they had to be thrilled
to get to sit there and watch a guy, you know,
go six for six with four homers. That that's that's
just incredible. The question to me is how did they
keep on pitching to this guy after the third one?
I've been pitching around him a little bit. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Have a four home runs?

Speaker 8 (57:41):
Really seriously, he did hit the last one off a
position player.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
Yeah runs all right, clerky, I guess you volunteered to
go now go ahead?

Speaker 3 (57:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (57:52):
Yeah, well, you know, first, first and Sacramento. Like, listen, man,
you're you're down on the field. Is not a bad
seat in these ballparks. You know, Mickey played in that league,
did great Salt Lake dominated out there, and you know,
it's a fun ballpark to be in with four times
thousand people and they're like looking for uh, you know,
next next year's heroes coming out typically in that Triple

(58:14):
A league. So to be able to see in a
ballpark like that and go watch your Yankees and go
watch your big powerhouse teams, like that's just a bunch
of fun. So I can understand how the ticket got
to where it is. I'm in Mickey's camp, like, why
can't we bring this down and make it more affordable
for a family? I think it's getting a little crazy.
So on the on that side, I mean, we'll see

(58:37):
how it goes when they go to Vegas. But for Kurtsman,
like due this guy like six or six and you
don't get the cycle. That's what's crazy. Get a triple
right like and so you know, man, when you think
about a four home run guy first off, rookie, it's
so cool man, It's it's the bast Brothers of Oklahoma
are of Oakland. You've got these just fire Ca Sako.

(59:02):
You know, you got Johnbie, you got Reggie Jackson. I mean,
like these guys are storied like home run hitters. And
this guy, the guy, he's the only guy who's done
in a game over in Oakland. So it's it's pretty special, man.
I mean, the guy can absolutely backspin the snot out
of a baseball man like, please do not get the

(59:23):
ball above this guy's waist. Like it's just it's it's wrong,
like make like, as a pitcher, you gotta be talking
to your guys like I don't know if you gotta
you gotta burn up his laces or something. Do not
get the ball up man like. And so it was
it was fun to see.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Man.

Speaker 8 (59:38):
It's it's always storied when you see a kid like that.
Anybody really like four home runs, come on, it's crazy.
But it's just it's awesome to see. And and by
the way we talked earlier in the show, Hey, you
know the best way to not see hater, I'll score
a team thirty two to seven. You'll never go to
see their closer. So like that's a good way, you know,
doing nothing right. So you know, God bless the A's.

(01:00:02):
You know, you figure something out. We don't want to
see hater and if you're intimidated by him, go put
up thirty two runs and you don't have to see him.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
That was great.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Are you quite while you're ahead there? Clerking are here.

Speaker 7 (01:00:14):
With the score given, Houston outscored, Go outscored the A's
in that series.

Speaker 6 (01:00:18):
Uh, we all know.

Speaker 7 (01:00:19):
Baseball is a weird game sometimes, you know, it's you know,
but because all that really matters is you know, one
team could have ten hits and no runs, but you
could have one hit and one run. Well, that one
hits the only thing that matters up there. That's how
weird this game is. But yet, but yet, we yet,
we yet we still love it. But you know, gosh,
four home runs, that's hard. I mean, you see, got

(01:00:41):
one guy hit one home bro, I don' okay whatever,
everyone does that.

Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
Two home runs, you know, big deal. But three but
three home three and four home runs? Man, you got
everybody paying attention now.

Speaker 7 (01:00:51):
But man, I mean people forget though that that you know,
Ba's could truly develop talent.

Speaker 6 (01:00:58):
They're really good at it.

Speaker 7 (01:00:59):
You know, there's a reason they had those they have
those windows within like three years where you're seeing them
going to the postseason once in a while when when
the division. That all thanks and part to moneyball. But
you know, it's it's incredible what he did. I mean,
especially against the Astros. I mean, who doesn't want that
to happen to the Astros? But but yeah, they it's

(01:01:23):
just uh, it's awesome, and you know, it's it's just
great to see. I mean, but as far as ticket
prices go, just lower them. I mean, not that we're
all we're all not made up money here and so
and our bills are going up as it is too.
Don't raise our baseball tickets as well. But you know,
I remember when I was younger, it was cheap to
go on the train. I think it was I don't

(01:01:44):
know to Chicago. I think it was ten bucks round trip.
I can't I can't honestly remember. And then I don't
know where I was sitting, probably about twenty five dollars
because I didn't have any money at the time, but
managed to get some together from summer jobs. But yeah,
it's uh, you know, it's it's you know, it's I'm
hoping that they just kind of keep everything even although
instead of going on the seat on the seat keek

(01:02:06):
webs after the world, you can always go on Facebook
and find someone someone selling it. And if you don't
need a parkeet pass, ask them to lower their ticket
prices because you don't need the parkt pass.

Speaker 6 (01:02:14):
Did I did that the other night? There's a hack
for you to go to go to a game on
a budget, all right, but.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
There I can ask them lower the ticket place less second.

Speaker 5 (01:02:26):
On this, so let's start with Kurts six for six.
His double was almost another home run, so let's you know,
a few inches short. Let's let's his nineteen total bases
tied Sean Green's MLB record from two thousand and and two.

(01:02:49):
Let's just say, and they're the only players to record
six hits and four home runs in the same game.
Kurts also became just the ninth player since nineteen hundred
to score six runs in a game. He is the
twentieth player in MLB history to hit more home runs
in a game, and obviously the first Athletics. He's twenty

(01:03:10):
two years on one hundred and thirty five days old.
He's by far the youngest member of the four home
run club. He was drafted fourth out of Wake Forest
last summer, he flew through the miners and made his
major league debut on April twentieth, after just twenty contests
at Triple A. He is now hitting. He has twenty

(01:03:33):
three home runs fifty nine arbys in only two hundred
and seventy one played appearances, so eight point five percent
of the time he's hitting home runs. His forty three
extra base hits are the most by a player through
his first sixty six career games since Joe DiMaggio back

(01:03:53):
in nineteen thirty six. Wo kudos to him. Wow wow,
that's big. Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Okay, two more topics.

Speaker 5 (01:04:03):
I'll just quick talk about the about the ticket prices.
There's too much the average family can't go to the games.
You need to either lower the ticket prices or put
give me lower days, like you know, do some kind
of promotion that lowers ticket prices for some games so
some of these families can attend more.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
I have two topics that we're going to carry over
for next week, but I have the two that we're
gonna go with to write it out the rest of
the way. Number One, Okay, Kyle Schwarber's one thousand hit
the three hundred and nineteens on run top Mark McGuire
for most of that, Mark, what are your thoughts, Clarky
about what Kyle Schwarber? Dad, you're talking about McGuire, And
now you got Kyle Schwarber, who obviously did what he

(01:04:47):
did in the All Star Game. But this guy keep
whacking these bad boys out of the park, and now
he's got a different record, of a different sort.

Speaker 8 (01:04:55):
Yeah, you know, he says a clutch guy for me,
Like he's uh, he's a just gets it done. It
doesn't look like Marbara guire, but like man, when it's
on the line, like, Schwarber's a guy you wanted to play.
He proved it with the Cubs. He's proved it with
the Phillies. Like man, you know, I think, and you know,
I don't know Kyle very well, like I at all.

(01:05:15):
Really he's uh, you know, I know he's a big
ten kid and uh so he's so he's got a
little Midwest route there, and but you know I watch
him and I just go man. As coaches, we always
go like, hey, you know, Scott Spiezio, you know, I'll
take ten more just like him. I think Kyle Schwarber
is that kind of guy like you just like I'll
just pick ten more just like it, because you know, oh,

(01:05:38):
he's not the fastest. Oh you know, she doesn't hit
it the longest, he doesn't.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Like you know what.

Speaker 8 (01:05:42):
All he does is just show up and get her done,
like every day. And so when you got guys like that,
you realize you can build teams and you can build
championship teams around guys like that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
I can't.

Speaker 6 (01:05:56):
I mean, don't forget though.

Speaker 7 (01:05:57):
Kyle Schwarber was with the Nationals and also the Boston
Red Sox and was a big reason the Red Sox
went to the postseason in twenty twenty one. Yeah, because
I'm sure the Cubs right now are feeling stupid right
now that they not that they non tendered them.

Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
But but yeah, I mean, the guy's a power hitter.
The guy people forget. The guy came back on alf
a torn.

Speaker 7 (01:06:19):
Acl and play in the World Series incredibly enough, which
you know, obviously medical advances now, but this is twenty
sixteen we're talking about.

Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
We're not quite there yet. But you know, power hitter.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Great.

Speaker 6 (01:06:31):
He's the heart and soul. He's the heart and soul
of the Philadelphia Phillies. You know he can.

Speaker 7 (01:06:37):
You can bat him lead off, you can put him
anywhere you want in the lineup and he will produce.
The guy has an obscene amount of power. It's just incredible.
You wouldn't think you wouldn't think anything of it. You
would think that you would think him A guy like him,
you know, would be a be a designate, would be
like maybe a part time designated hitter at best.

Speaker 6 (01:06:57):
But man, he can just he is whacking comments left
and right.

Speaker 7 (01:07:02):
I mean, you know, he's a big reason for the
Philadelphia Phillies success the past few years, where just when
people think that this team is not going anywhere every
season he's He's a big reason why, including when whenever
Bryce Harper gets hurt, he steps in and it's just
he just continues the rake.

Speaker 6 (01:07:19):
That's just what he does.

Speaker 7 (01:07:20):
But yeah, it's incredible seeing what he does. And you
know that's all you need him to do. As as
Buddy Ryan once said Chris Carter, all he doesn't catch touchdowns, well,
Kyle Schwarber, all he does is hit home runs and
it works.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Well, you know what, Taylor Phillips comes down here, Onso,
he says Eugenio Sworer, recently got drilled in a hand
with a pitch and left the game.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
All right, good to know. I think that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
The Diamondbacks are playing the Tigers, so thanks to the update.
Taylor appreciate it. He can see him on fire up
on Thursday nights. Yeah, what are your thoughts about mister Shoreber.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Yeah, I'm with both these guys. I think that this
guy is a great guy to have in the clubhouse.
He's a tremendous individual, and he is super clutch.

Speaker 8 (01:08:00):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
I know a lot of people these days don't believe
in clutch and things like that. It's more just, oh well,
he just happened to be up at the time. But
that is not true. I saw this kid in twenty sixteen.
Like Katzi said, he was injured. I had he was
playing in Triple A for like two weeks before the
World Series, maybe not even that. So I had to

(01:08:22):
do all of my advanced scouting and I was watching
his abs in Triple A and he I think he
grounded out to second in every AB. And then he
comes to the World Series. I'm like, guys, you know,
he's rusty. He hasn't played in quite some time. He's
faced some triple A pitching. I think we're gonna be
able to handle him. Let's pitch him this, this and

(01:08:44):
this way, and he comes out and he gets some
of their biggest hits of the World Series for them,
just right right out of bed, you know, hardly any practice,
hardly any reps. He comes out and he's one of
their best hitters in the line up. And that's the
kind of player he is. And obviously when he puts
the swing on the ball, there's a good chance of

(01:09:06):
thirty chance it's going to be a homer. So you know,
you have to be very careful with him. But I
to me, he's kind of like a Mike Napoli when
we had Nathley in sixteen. Clubhouse guy, you know, not
gonna hit for a huge average, was gonna pop a
homer every now and again. But the presence in the
lineup is something to deal with, and the presence in
the clubhouse is even a greater uh thing for a team.

(01:09:30):
And I think that's why Kyle Schwarber is so so
special in this game.

Speaker 8 (01:09:38):
Because let me tell me that that's such a good point.
Like you get guys like this. I saw nap over
the weekend coaching now with the Reds, and you know,
like that's that's Mickey's catcher in Triple A by the way,
for a lot of the year in two thousand and two.
And we're a world championship team and he's a great player,
and he can't break the club because you've got Benji

(01:09:58):
Molina is a start, right and Napolis is good bad
He's this good guy, but you're back to that solid lineup.
Where do you find a place for a guy? Where
do you where? And he's and he and he ends
up making a place for himself, right ultimately, because guys
do that. I'm gonna disagree with Catsy on one thing
about about Schwarber. Schwarber's hit for power everywhere. But Schwarber
has to barrow up to hit for power. You know,

(01:10:21):
I watched the Kurtsy guy, like he's missing balls and
hitting him three ninety four ten, Like he's like, oh
I popped that up, Oh I popped it up for
twenty five. He's got this nice swing. He's a monster,
so he's missing balls. You know, Schwarber has to barrel
it up to go deep and he does it all
the time. So like God love him, Like he's very
good at but like it tells you how special he

(01:10:43):
is and how well he's prepared for any mistake. Like
he's a pitcher's nightmare. Man, if you make a mistake,
he's gonna hurt you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
I'll say this get we'll have a chance to get
to see him in a few weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
Uh here with the Maryland's Okay, Candy, you have the
last word on it, unless can't say as one last thing,
we have one topic to get to and then we'll
carry three over him next week. Thanks for hopping in
Bow and Michigan Forts troop. Well we weren't happy to
say hello to George. I record for you, all right,
can't see if you have a quick comment to wrap it? Yeah,
and we have one more topic, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
Can't see.

Speaker 6 (01:11:12):
Part of that too is he's got a very level swing.
I mean, he somehow knows how to straighten that thing up.

Speaker 7 (01:11:17):
And if that ball ends up ends up belt high odds,
the odds are it's going to end up in the
right field bleachers because he know because he's got a
very level swing and he's able to he's able to
center the ball and then he and then he just
lifts it over and part of that too is just
the guys just just ripped.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
Okay, Candy, final word, One more topic to go.

Speaker 8 (01:11:37):
So.

Speaker 5 (01:11:37):
He played college baseball for Indiana Hoosiers. He was first
round selected in the twenty fourteen MLB Draft by the Cubs.
He's known for his powerful, hard hitting home runs and
his high walk rate in contrast to his low betting average.
But he led the National League in home runs during
his twenty twenty two debut season with the Phillies, and

(01:12:01):
he played with the team during the twenty twenty two
World Series, earning him his second All Star appearance and
his first Silver Slugger Award. You know, he's fun to watch,
Like he just has this funness about it. I don't know,
I can't quite put it on him, but he's got
this attitude that you just want to watch and you
want to root for him. Like there are team there

(01:12:23):
are guys that you like, Oh, I can't stand you.
I don't care what team you're on, I'm never gonna
root for you. But he's a guy that, like, he
could be on any team and you're still gonna root
for him. And I don't know why necessarily, but he's
just one of those guys that you you want to
see have great success. So kudos to him, and hopefully
he'll have much more success yet, well not against my team.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
I'll just say that point.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
He's a likable personality, hits a lot of home runs,
and he have two of those teams going for you.
That's not the worst thing in the world. Final Topic
of the night, and this one goes to a aarp Okay,
I made seven twenty ten, Jamie Moyer, forty seven at
that time, becomes the oldest pitcher to Tassa's shutout as
a Phillies defeat the Brave seven and nothing scat. What

(01:13:11):
are your thoughts about a guy like cam pulling out
there and tossa the shutout at age forty seven. We're
gonna call him the Jordan Blanda of baseball.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Yeah, that's amazing. I mean that's three years younger than
I am right now. And I can't even imagine going
out there and throwing five pitches full speed, much less
try to throw a complete game shutout. I mean, I
couldn't do that when I was in my prime. But
you know, Jamie Morier was always fun for me to watch, right.

(01:13:41):
I love that he had to pitch, and I love
guys that go out there and pitch. One of my
favorite pitchers to watch when I was in New York
was Jason Vargas out there eighty five, mixing it up,
going five innings. I love watching the Jamie war years
of the world pitch. It's it's fascinating to me, and

(01:14:04):
I think it's amazing for someone to do that at
forty seven. That's that's just insane.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Okay, Candy, we don't need stats AARP. What do you
think of that accomplishment?

Speaker 5 (01:14:16):
Good for him and kudos for him to be able
to accomplish that at the age. That tells you something
that it's not always about the youngness in the league,
but it's also about mind and where you're putting your pictures.
And one last thing, it's also about being on your
game on that day. Like you know it when you
go out there and you start throwing and you're having

(01:14:38):
success and you're feeling it, you know it. And kudos
to let for the manager to not go to analytics
and say I got to pull you out early because
we've seen that too often. But when a pitcher is on,
leave them in, let them go.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
Hi Clark Davis Well Mickey.

Speaker 8 (01:14:55):
First of all, Jamie was dopping out about seventy six
that Nightey, I don't know about on bringing here like
clinic and pitching. Hey, what most people don't know about
Jamie Moyer is his father in law's Digger Phelps, the
longtime basketball coach Notre Dame. Maybe Digger gave him a
little pump up speech before that game get him going.
And uh and I think also, Okay, I can't believe

(01:15:16):
you did you know James got a long time brewer,
like he's he's a brew crew guy. I can't believe
you didn't drop that either.

Speaker 5 (01:15:22):
But uh, hey, this.

Speaker 8 (01:15:23):
Guy's been the same guy since he was twenty five,
always knowing how to pitch, very well prepared a mental
game beyond most pitchers coming in from the left side,
coming in at like four different angles. Like nobody's ever comfortable.
You watch the hitters. No one gets good swings.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Man.

Speaker 8 (01:15:44):
I'm watching a game Friday night, man, and guys are
like lifting that front knee chest high and just mashing
balls like I'm like going. Everybody's comfortable, Like this is crazy.
And then when you watch Jamie Moyer, man, you're on
your back foot. You're you're you're sliding too far forward
toward in the box. You're he's catching you early and
you're coming back. No one is getting a good swing

(01:16:06):
on him. And and when you're watching a picture like that,
you love it. Man, if he's on your team, you
love it. It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Jamie Moore is the head of the picture. In fact,
they can throw any type off sweet pitch.

Speaker 8 (01:16:18):
I knew a guy like that. I knew a guy
like that Motor City. He used to do this ship
all the time. His name is, his name is Mickey
Callaway like this, and he started he started dialing you
up and start getting you in and out, and no
one's on balance.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
Man, what a beautiful thing. You guys are teammates on
the show. You know a guy like that?

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
Oh now keep checking. Let's say on a word coast
to Eric Katz, I'm happy for Jamie Moyer. I'm glad
we wrapped it up with him on this topic. After
Eric's done, everybody he goes head gets about a thirty second,
So promote themselves.

Speaker 7 (01:16:50):
So go ahead, Eric, I mean, we talk about the
Randy Johnson's and the Pedro Martinez is and the Roger
Clemens of the world.

Speaker 6 (01:16:57):
But Jamemn Mori was right there too.

Speaker 7 (01:16:59):
I mean, he was probably the most frustrating guy to
face because he throw you know what's coming, and you
think you got him, and you think you're gonna have
a big day at the plate that day, but no,
this guy could. This guy adjusted as you adjusted. He
was one of the few guys that could actually do
that at the time.

Speaker 6 (01:17:15):
While other guys.

Speaker 7 (01:17:15):
Relying on he he relied on finesse and off speed stuff,
particularly his changeup which was which was like just impossible
to hit.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
There's a couple of stories too. There were some radio guys.

Speaker 7 (01:17:25):
Saying they could hit Jamie Moyer, and Jamie Morier called
in saying, no, you couldn't, and his son and his
son in the back of the car. He's driving pretty fast,
you know whatever, and his and he's and his son
asked him, how come you don't throw that fast? And
he's just like, I don't pitch like that. But you know,
he's he's one of the few guys that could adjust

(01:17:46):
that you adjusted, and it was and if you had
Jamie Moyer doing that, it was gonna be a long
day for you at the plate because I can't think
of countless sluggers who you think would have a field
day on him and end up end up going over
for or end up sobreroing.

Speaker 6 (01:17:59):
I mean he was just that good.

Speaker 8 (01:18:01):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
Well, great stuff, everybody, Eric thirty seconds? How can they
get a hold of you?

Speaker 7 (01:18:06):

to me? Ain't time?

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
All right? Skip? What do you do?

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
I don't promote anything, so I don't really have social media.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
But I want to leave.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
I don't want to leave everybody with this thought, Jamie Mori,
you're in today's game. Would never get a chance to
pitch in the big league ever. And he threw at
forty seven through a shutout. That is, it's a shame
that our game has gone this way. There's not a scout,
a player development guy that would stick their neck out
for a guy throwing eighty miles per hour to go
pitching the big leagues. And I think that's kind of sad, Noah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
But I think what's kind of nice is the fact
that you do baseball lessons and you are going to
talk about that for like twenty seconds.

Speaker 3 (01:19:18):
Go ahead, Yeah, So I'm teaching lessons. I was able
to go and coach the futures game the Mississippi Futures team,
the twenty seven grads, and we went three and oh
this this weekend in Atlanta and had a blast. So
I'm really enjoying myself, enjoying the baseball life as usual,
and I'm staying really, really busy. So it's the life, and.

We enjoy having you on one hundred and eighth. Such
is baseball talk every Monday night. I'm talking about you
every day, that you're one of my biggest catches all year,
