Speaker 1 (00:24):
That been Monday.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Everybody, welcome to another edition of one hundred and eighth.
This is Baseball Dog. I have a really fresh group tonight.
I'm not Moroco to me my new designator co host
effective immediately, but I have a good group tonight, and
I want to welcome a new person to the team,
Tyrese Alee Davis and Tyrese. After I make the introductions,
you're gonna tell you a little bit about yourself. We

(00:47):
have Kne Dowling and then we then we have Stuart Hack.
All right, go ahead and introduce yourself, Tyrese.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
My name is Tyrese. I'm from Brooklyn, New York.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I've been in sports journalism now for a year and
a half. I started out with my own sports blog
on the substack platform, and later that developed into me
writing for Athlon Sports in their New York men'sual Apartment,
and I now write for Yard Parker Professional Football Sports

(01:16):
Network and a whole bunch of other small publications.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Great and I found Tyreee on LinkedIn. People. If you're
looking to network professionally, LinkedIn's a way to go. Stuart
and I both know real well, and I find a
lot of my guests Aaron's have Tyreee making his debut
on the big show tonight. Obviously there's Monday Night football
and Seattle Meriters are taking on the Toronto Blue Jays
Witter take All, and we're gonna lead off with that

(01:42):
tomic topic right now as we get rolling here for
our audience out there, and we'll have live update probably
later on. Well, Don Madduze finally reached the World Series.
Let me give you the particulars on this one, and
then we'll go around the horn with that first. So
Don Maddigley, the Jays bench coach in pro ball in
nineteen seventy ninety. A good friend of mine had him

(02:03):
on our show on my show MotorCity mad Mouth in August.
But he's one win from the first World Series as
a player, coach or a manager. You know what better
way of breaking the new coast and hitting him with
de rob What do you think we'll managinally finally get
to the World Series for the first time.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Well, he has a good shot at it, of course
right now Toronto's trailing, but it's very early. Yeah, we
were talking about that today on my show with my
co host Chris, and you know he's the Yankee guy
in my show, and he wants to see Maddenlee get
a ring, but it's gonna kill him seeing him get

(02:44):
a ring in the Toronto Blue Jays uniform. And I
brought up your picture from a couple of weeks ago
with Madding Lee. I said, how does he look talking
to Scott in his Toronto Blue Jays uniform? And Chris
just said, so, yeah, there's a shot. And you know,
I hope that he does get a ring.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Here's round. There's a reason why you're my co host. Okay,
all right, Stuart.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
I hope he gets a ring too. You know, he
had he had a long career as a player. You know,
he had made the playoffs in nineteen ninety five. He
played really well there, I think against seattlean hit like
around five hundred. It just wasn't in the cards. It
almost reminds me a little bit if you recalled in
nineteen ninety six when Joe Torre was managing the Yankees
for the first season. He had never been in the

(03:34):
World Series as a player. You know, had a long career,
and he got in with the Yankees and then it
kind of became a habit for him. So We'll see
what happens if Mattingly gets in in the upcoming years
it becomes a habit for him too.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Okay, Tyree, I think, uh, he will get his first ring.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I think like everybody else, that he paid it his dues,
and I think he's the perfect fit for this type
of team. And you know what, whatever he's instructing, whatever
advice he's giving it, it's obviously working. And you know,
I think that this cloaking staff all around is unique
in hiss own.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
So I definitely want to see him with some hardware,
you know, Kenny, You.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Know, we talk a lot about all kinds of players
and are they Hall of Fame or are they not?
And that's one thing here that we've always talked about
it with Don Manley. Does he belong in or does
he not? My other question, follow up question was if
he does get a world a World Series ring, does
that change that position? Knowing that he did it as

(04:37):
a coach. But that's the one thing he has left
really to do, I think in his careers is to
get that all conclusive ring that he hasn't had. But
do I think he'll do it this year? You know,
it's coming down to Game seven. I mean, this is
what the playoff baseball is all about, right Game seven.

(05:00):
I hope he does, though, whether it's this year or not,
I hope he does get well.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Tell you so everybody knows where I am on this subject. Really, Thursday, really,
I want my man Donny to get it. It's gotta
be there. Get this guy to the World Series, please
one time. That's all I'm gonna say. Maybe up days
later on, let's continue along with the rest of the program.
If he does get to the World Series, he can
thank Trey you seven for helping him at least get

(05:27):
this far. Because I'll tell you one thing. In the Alds,
this guy was liked out going five and a third inning,
zero hit, zero runs, eleven one walk in eleven ks.
And if that wasn't good enough. In the ALCS, in
Game six he goes, Trey goes five point two and
he fits six hits, two earned runs, three wants in

(05:49):
seven ks. Rob tell you Trey had gotten him to
this point. My friend, we'll see and who knows, you
might see this guy in the relief role. It pushed
him to shove later. What are your thoughts about the
contributions of James Trade said, before I go out there,
imagine George Kirby is taking on Jane Bieber tonight and
game seven. All right, Ron take it from there. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Well, I I saw the games he pitched. He looked great,
really for someone who doesn't have that much experience. He
looked calm, cool and collective. And you know what, I
I don't see any difference if they make the World Series.
He's been great so far. It's been it's been amazing.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Sure, yeah, I mean and in a case like tonight,
it's really all hands on deck. Everyone's got a short leash.
So first sign of trouble about bringing someone else, you know,
no one, no one has the night off.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Okay, Tyreeve.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I definitely like Trade Savage, and I think, you know,
looking at the way that Toronto has utilized him, you know,
it really bugs me that that the the match didn't
get a chance to utilize their youth pictures, because you know,
Toronto was able to work him into the fold at

(07:09):
the right moment, and he seems to be very comfortable.
He doesn't look nervous. You know, he's coping it in
his stuff. So I think, you know, your Savage is
definitely a big a big boost to the team.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
Candy, kudos to him. I mean, he's pitching pretty good.
We've seen a lot of really good pitchings so far
amongst the teams. But yeah, kudos to him. That's a
really good, really good job. I mean, I can't like,
like Stuart said, Game seven, you go, anybody's available. Everybody's available,

(07:45):
doesn't matter you pitched just the day before or whatnot.
As long as you're not injured, you're available.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay. Well, great transition, Candy, about where we're going. Okay,
and you'll know why I'm bringing up both. The sheet
was out for the ald Actress of the Yankees, had
it turned out, the Blue Jays didn't need them winning
that Series two. Unfortunately, though for Toronto, it was not
included on the ALCS roster again. All right, Rob, I'm

(08:14):
turning to live my right hand man all night. Get
used to being in the spot your end. Where you're
talking about. Bova Set hasn't been available to the playoffs
so far.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Well, the Blue Jays said right now, his knee injury
is progressing pretty well, so they're they're hoping that he
could get into the into the World Series if they
make it. I you know, I don't know about that.
They said he's he's done some light running, but I mean,
the World Series is right around the corner Friday night,

(08:44):
so I don't know about that. But I mean, if
if they they they definitely miss him. But I don't
know if he's going to be ready. They're and you know,
they're saying that he's looking he's making good progress, but
I just don't think there's enough time.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
So that's an interesting problem if they do activate him
for the World Series, because they don't know what they're
gonna get out of him. He hasn't played in a while.
I mean him, it has his played decently, has a
couple of home runs in this series. He isn't hurting
them obviously if they make it to the World Series.
So you know what happens if Bashett aggravates the injury

(09:21):
during the series? You know, are they I don't know,
are they able to take him off the roster in
the middle once it starts, or are they stuck with
a dead spot.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
That's a good point, all right, tyree.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
It kind of reminds me of the Freddy Freeman injury
that he had in the World Series last year, and
then Freddy came.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Back, and he came up big.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
And you know, I guess if if I'm if I'm
the manager, I'm speaking of my coaching sacra and saying,
you know, don't rush him back yet, like you said,
like say if we get to the World Series.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
You know, so I'd.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Say, they don't need him to even find without him,
just allow him to rest up and try to be
as strong as possible.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
And you know, they're saying he's made significant progress. He
has done some light he's doing light running and progressing
with his hitting as he liked to make a return.
The problem is he is still feeling some pain in

(10:30):
his knee. So you know, as much as I know
he would probably hate missing the World Series, he also
has to think of his long term turn career and
if he plays, would he possibly injure it for the
future and it be worse, you know, so I think

(10:52):
they just have to play it safe. But they have to,
you know, see how he is, because that's going to
be a couple of days, a couple of days yet
of maybe some progress. Modern medicine what it can do, you.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Just never know. Well you just said up there, Candy,
modern mediicon, you never know what can happen. Obviously, the
Blue Jays certainly missed Boba Schet. They've been able to
get to where they are without them, and for obvious reasons.
Let's go to a very unique story and here we'll
go here. Ernie Clement has more hits this postseason the
Brewers had during the entire NLC had. That's tell you

(11:25):
how powerful this guy l the Brewers had. I know,
it's painful, Candy, but the NLC has the Brewers had
fourteen and Clement had seventeen. Rob, what's your take on that.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, he's been he's been a hitting machine. I'll tell
you this postseason, but that's that's an unbelievable stat. I am, Candy.
I am shocked that that Milwaukee didn't at least win
a game or two. I you know, I didn't think
they were going to get swept by the Dodgers, but
to hardly have any hits, I just I didn't see

(11:56):
that coming, suret.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
I Yeah, I was shocked too. I thought, you know,
with Bob, the passing of Bob Buker, I really thought
this could be their year. They would you know, they'd
come in and they they would do the job. I
was surprised. They really didn't, you know, they didn't win
a game. And kudos to the Dodger starting pitching. How
a little bit of a throwback. Everybody goes eight nine innings,

(12:20):
I mean, who who sees that anymore?

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Well, seventeen or fourteen? One guy out hitting a teams
and I go with you with a Bob Eaver, that's
so real, a right, tyree.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's like it's like when you get a you know,
a car and it breaks down at the wrong possible moment.
You know, there were a well old machine into have
such a you know, upsetting end of the season. It
just it just doesn't make sense to baseball purists. You know,
I give a lot of credit to the to the Dodgers,

(12:57):
you know, they they're they're whin. They are where they
are because of what they did in the front office.
And it's definitely showing again. You know.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
So I read an interesting article and actually reposted it
on Facebook for anybody that wants to go and read it.
But it talked about how the Dodgers rightfully so and
smartly went in and they they've got as many you
know guys as they do. You know, the guys have

(13:30):
been uninjured during the season, and so some of these
guys are in June or July form, whereas most of
the Brewers, they don't have the talent the depth that
the Dodgers do. So all of their guys are out
there all the time, every year, pitching the whole season,
unless obviously they get injured. But we don't have the

(13:53):
depth of having. Let's face it, the Dodgers though, that
four that they put on the mounds, those would be
the first for any team, But most teams would only
have one of those four, not all four of them
on their team. Now I'm not saying there should be
a salary. I'm not going into that, but I'm just
saying that Dodgers have more money, they have more revenue,

(14:16):
They generate more revenue because they're not in a small market.
And here's the other thing I'm gonna say about the Brewers.
Brewers out did what anybody in the beginning of the season,
what anybody thought they would. Now they've done it eight
out of the last nine years. Think about how many
if some of those players have been on those teams,

(14:37):
how many games every year they played, how they get
tired at this time of the year, and I hate
to say that. I'm not using that as an excuse,
but if you're have, if you're fresher because you've been
you know, I'm just saying I feel bad for my Brewers.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Brewers. I still
bat them. I was sad to see them go out

(15:00):
the way they did, But there were one of four
teams that were left at the end there. Yes they
went down quickly, but they were still better than how
many other teams in that league. So but to have
as few hits as they did, you know, everybody hits slumps,
and unfortunately they hit it at the wrong time against

(15:20):
the really, really good pitching. So the combination of that
was lethal.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well, it's not bury the lead can. Ernie Clement had
seventeen hits. This guy pretty good. I understand the Brewers
had a whale of the season, and it's hard, you know.
And I've had a lot of good positive things to
say about the Brewers, especially during the postseason, and they're
a great story for a small market team. But Ernie
Clement had seventeen hits and they had only fourteen. And

(15:46):
usually a lot of times teams are offenses will come
up short during the postseason at the wrong time because
you're facing way better pitching to begin was. So it's okay,
I mean, nobody's burying this team and putting them under
the rug. I mean, the Brewers had a historically great season.
I am Matthew ninety seven to wins and they ended
up beating the Cubs. I mean pretty good. And it's

(16:08):
a good body of work, you know, mister Pat Murphy
beats Craig Council. I'm sure they're feeling at least good
about that. Anyways, So we'll continue as we continue on. Okay,
let's have a little bit more history with the Seattle Manors.
The last time the Mariners won the Als, which by
the way, was in two thousand and one, Tom Brady

(16:30):
had zero career start. And now we're really digging into history.
Lebron James is a sophomore in high school. Julio Rodriguez
was eight months old. Patrick Ewing was the Seattle Supersonic
Beatle super Tinic. Kevin the Stina got well, and manager
Dan Wilson was still playing and obviously cementing his legacy.
He's got them in the to this point. On the

(16:52):
break of the World, Serry Rob, the Maritors, Wilson. What
else can we say about this?

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah, you know, hopefully listen, I would like to see them.
See I'm torn because I'd like to see Madden Lee
get a ring, but I like to see the Mariners
get into the World Series too. You know two thousand
and one, Sweet Lou was the manager, right, that was
a long long time ago, but I remember, I remember

(17:20):
that series. I remember that year. How amazing were they
that year? And you know, not to make it to
the World Series having a year like they did very disappointing,
a little like Milwaukee, you know, a.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Little vanilla obviously guy in the Cincinnati Rental World Jersey.
And to do it with Marge Shock, that's a lot,
that's all right. I mean that woman really wasn't a
big spender. And I'm being nice about it for those
Rents fans that are following us. Have a great manager, sure.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Any but remember who the Nation League MVP was in
two thousand and one, a man by the name of
Barry Buns.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh God help you. Okay.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
So there were a lot of interesting storylines with the matchups,
and one interesting one. If the Brewers would have won
and played Seattle, you have the case where the Seattle
Pilots became the Milwaukee Brewers, and that would have been
a nice storyline.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
I was hoping that storyline would play out, by the way,
but continue on.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
Yeah, I mean at what you have here. You know,
you have the two nineteen seventy seven expansion teams going
against each other in the seven game series, so you know,
they came into the league together, and I think you
and it's been a you know, nip and tuck series,
So it'll be hopefully tonight's game will match the intensity

(18:41):
of the first six.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, I'm glad you brought the fact of their expansion
brothers for sure, because it is pretty interesting that one
has never been to a World Series all the other
one led by a great manager, Cito Gas and won
a couple of times. And who knows what would have
happened had they have been able to play during the
nineteen ninety four Frank, which we'll get into another day, Tyree.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh man, it's very interesting to know that, you know.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
When you have players in your franchise like a like
a Randy Johnson and in each row, and you know
that those calibers of individual talents to not you know,
make it to enough postseason appearances.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
It's very interesting.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
But I do think that there is something special with
this Mariners group. I mean Randy and Rosie, Rosarino, Eugenio
Suarez like these guys have been holding on the fort
Joorhe Flanco came up big the other night. So I
think they have all the tools they need. The thing
is who who is gonna win it more tonight?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Great points all the way around. I'll tell you Robscot
the potential, Sudny Yay, he's good, well, some good stuff.
I'm probably of his first act man. What more to go?
So we'll continue on. But you're off to a good start, Candy.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
The two thousand and one Mariners finished with a record
of one hundred and sixteen and forty six, leading all
Major League Baseball and winning percentage. And do we want
to do? We want to discuss at the end of
the season, who won the AL MVP Eachiro Suzuki. He

(20:22):
won AL MVP, AL Rookie of the Year and one
of three Outfield Gold Glove Awards, becoming the first player
since fred Linn in nineteen seventy five to win all
three in the same season.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
All right, got well, I got each road stuff coming up.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
This was part of the Mariners two thousand and one season.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
That's okay, that's okay, I had to make all right, well,
good now that you brought it up, we'll go ahead
to our feature that we do every week before she
goes out there and out research searching me out of
a segment here, although we'll do it after we can
tell that cal Rawley is the fourth player in MLB
history to hit sixty home runs in the season.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
All right, Rob, Yeah, he listened. He had an amazing season,
and there's gonna be talk about the MVP. Should he
get it or should Judge get it? And in most
years it would be, you know, hands down Judge, But
because Raley's a catcher, you know, we don't know what's

(21:28):
gonna happen. I mean, he just had an amazing year,
so it could go either way and we'll just have
to wait and see. But you know, so he's had
a great season, really amazing in.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
The end of their year, I give it to Aaron Judge,
but since I played catcher, I gotta give it to Raleigh.
I really was. I mean, I'm a catcher. I know
what the beating you take behind the ditch it is
easy love Aaron Judge. I'm glad he never went to
the Giants and stay with the Yankees and let it.
He did that recognize that those ten strikes matter, Stuart.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
You know, you look, the name of the award is
most Valuable Player. If it was Player of the Year,
I could live with Judge winning. And I think the
fact that if you take Rawley off the Mariners, you know,
they're we're not talking about them in the beginning of
this show tonight. There's no Game seven. They're not there.
You know, we had a great year. We'll see what

(22:19):
the writers say. You can never predict that. But if
I had to vote, I would I would vote for
Kyle Ray.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Reeve.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
I think Kyle Ray is definitely deserving, you know, because
Seattle is a small market team, and you know they
have they've clawed.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Their way here, you know, and they've done it the
right way. And you know, when I when I.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Watch Kyle Rawley, it's like I'm watching Mike reincardinated.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
You know, like he he he does it from you know,
behind the plate. He can get you timely hits.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
So I definitely would would like to see them given
to Kyle raleyde.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
Here's what I'm I'm gonna say. You give it to
cal Rally. And you know why. Not only was he
the most home runs hit by a catcher in a
single season, but the most home runs by a switch hitter.
So he's valuable because no matter who's pitching left or right,
you can put him in, whereas sometimes you're like, oh,

(23:21):
I can't put you know, Judge in because I have
whatever you know, pitcher going So I think for that
reason and his catching abilities, Let's face it, he didn't
have what he didn't have a pass ball until he
until the playoffs all long. Is a catcher. I mean
that's valuable too. So not only is he doing it
behind the plate, but he's also doing it as a

(23:43):
as a catcher in the field.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
So great points across the board. All right, let's go
up to our annual weekly Nolan Ryan and Erio Suzuki
will start off with Nolan Ryan. I know Robins starts
his page paid. Rob Morgan, he's not every we can't
taar anyone, and he's going away for the next four
five weeks. Rob Sorry, got too much going on with
these guys, So I know you handle it pretty well.

(24:07):
All right, so get this the past. Nolan Ryan's career
record of fifty seven hundred and fourteenth strikeout a pitcher
would have the average just over nine and a half
strikeouts per game while pitching thirty games each year for
twenty years. Those are video game like numbers. Rob during
Nolan's twenty seven year career, My friend.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
With the pitch count, that's never gonna happen. It's just
never gonna happen. It's I don't know. If things were
still the same as they were, I don't think it
would have happened. But listen, every week we say it,
Nolan Ryan is amazing, and you know it pains me
because the Mets traded him.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's okay, don't worry. Eventually, I'm gonna bring on TC SABANTHI.
I'm just trying to take care of these two birds.
So there's a little preview of what I have planned.
A lot of great storylines to come out of New York,
for sure, Stuart, you heard the Nolan and then we're
gonna get to eat or afterward candy.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
You know, are the list of records that will never
be broken. This has to be at the top. If
you look at the active player with the most strikeouts,
that's justin Verlander. He's a little bit over thirty five hundred,
so he's twenty two hundred away from Ryan. So you
figure Verlander, you know, he's getting older. So if he
strikes out one hundred for the next twenty two years,
you know, he can get up to his Social Security

(25:25):
benefits if the Social Security is still around. But there's
no way it's going to be broken. And as far
I've kind of gotten over the Mets thing. You know,
at the time that they traded him, I think it
may have made sense. I mean, I was a young
child back then, but I don't know if he ever
really would have flourished the way he did when he

(25:48):
left the Mets. With the Mets, you know, the Mets
had sever and Kouzman and Gentry, and you know Ryan
was showing he had a history of blisters on his
fingers that you know, they were using the pickle juice.
So you know, it's it's hard to say if he
would have had the type of career that he ended
up having with the next.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Why now you say pickle juice, I had some of
that stuff today actually, so I won today. So and
as far as Tom sever everybody can tell you right
now Attle player, he was all right, Tyren.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
I just think Nolan Nolan Ryan, you.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Know, is is an untouchable person. I mean, you know,
I'm young, so I didn't get to witness him, you know,
but whenever I watch his highlights on YouTube, I mean
that twelve six, that twelve six curveball falling off the
table in the bottom of his own I mean, like
the kind of command that he has, you know, just
his body of working no longer deevity. I don't think

(26:44):
anybody's touching him made.

Speaker 6 (26:50):
Nolan Ryan holds fifty one total MLB records, including this
five seven and fourteen career strikeouts. The next most for
strikeouts is Randy Johnson with four and seventy five. Think
about that, like, there's no way anybody is gonna come

(27:11):
close to this, because, let's face it, Nolan Ryan threw
what seven career no hitters? How many? How many career
no hitters are you going to get anymore? Because with
these analytics and oh the pitch cone is up, we
got to pull him and we might get a dual
no hitter, you know, But to keep guys in for
for one guy to pitch all nine innings is rare, rare,

(27:35):
So do we think do I think anyone's gonna come
close to this?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
No? Yeah, I'm this complete game for sure. I really
believe that complete game server purpose that you help reduce
the wear in term of your bullpen. But apparently nobody
agrees with that anymore. You're seeing a lot of relievers
being used. All right, let's go back to eachro Eatro
actually hit better again left handed three twenty nine the

(28:01):
right handed pictures. By the way, it was only three
or four that banning average, just as lefties is the
highest record for a left batter. And again you talk
about foot Danta is complete going back to nineteen seventy four.
These stats are just draw dropping.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Rob Yep. Well, we say it every week. The man
was amazing. And he he had two careers right, one
in Japan, one here and he played, you know, he played.
He played a long time in Japan, and then he
gets here and he does what he did, and you know,
he just amazing. And I have to say what I

(28:38):
say every week, one rider.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, and you old Roger can say it every week
no matter what, because you're gonna be right. We're all
gonna agree with you anyway, all right, Stuart.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
You know, I'm convinced that if each Ro wanted to
be a power hitter, he could have hit home runs.
He could have been one of the best, which amazing
to be because he started his career in Japan. He
was twenty seven years old before he got his first
major league hit and ended up with over three thousand.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Right.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
It just shows the incredible, you know hitter that he
that he was, and you know, it's it's nice in
a year. You know, we talk about how it'd be
nice to see Don Mattingley win a World Series, but
there are a lot of cases you can make for
the Mariners to get in. Which Itchro got into the
Hall of Fame this year, and what a nice story
would be if the Mariners got into their first World
Series on the year where their stand out all time

(29:30):
player made the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Gay points Stewart all the way around, Tyres.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
I think, you know, again, I was very young when
Itchiro was in his prime.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I caught him at the tail end.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
But like his his career and his knowledge of baseball
and the game really shows, you know, how focused on fundamentals.
Japanese baseball coach really is because they make sure, no
matter what position you're playing in their culture that you

(30:06):
are firing on all cylinders and you know how to
you know, hit, you.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Know how to work count, you know how to field.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
So I just think this is like, you know, the
the epitome of baseball culture done right, and you know,
he's just one of the best to ever you know,
put on a jersey.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Candy.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
We've talked numerous times on how quick Eatiro was and
how you know, like Stewart talked about if he wanted
to hit home runs, he probably could have done more,
but knowing that hits are important and small ball is important,
and that's part of what I think is missing two

(30:53):
out of the game today is really those those quick
just getting you know, UIs Ariahs almost reminded me a
little bit of Eachiro, is that you know, playing those hits,
placing those hits wherever you wanted to in that in
those games. I mean, Eachiro has the single season record

(31:14):
for hits with two hundred and sixty two, ten consecutive
two hundred hit seasons, the longest streak by any player
in history. That says a lot like two hundred hits
for ten years straight. You're not gonna see that.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Well, I'll say one thing, I'm glad you brought up
Lewis Orias, one of the best peer of hitters I've
ever seen. And when you consider the fact that actually
the Minnesota Clips are gonna make go better in that
trade because Pablo Lopez is still in Minnesota and Marlin
shipped the Riots over to San Diego. But for the
Marlins even that one year to be able to get
a Vanny champion was unbelievable. Candy great reference in terms

(31:56):
of Lewis Orias. All Right, we're gonna go once non
sports topic and then we're gonna go to a station
brink and then we're going to complete the show. We're
on a great base here. Let's keep it rolling rapid fire.
They the Mariners and the Blue Days playing for Trip
the World, Serias, the Lions, and the Buccaneers are playing
on Monday Night Football. So are non SportSouth. First of

(32:17):
two non sports company is Iceland has the fewest gang
members of any country.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Rob.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
That's not bad. We don't need gang members way no.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
I you know, I'm thinking that gang members really don't
like the cold weather. Of course, When it gets colder out,
crime goes down. So that's probably one of the pluses
for Iceland. But like you guys said, you loved it there.
It's beautiful, safe, cops don't carry guns. They keep them,
you know, stored I guess in the vehicles or whatever.

(32:49):
But yeah, that's great, great place. I want to get
there now.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Well, don't work. I have a few more topics, so
I'll make you want to get there more. And I
like Iceland. I figured it's a nice laid back show
to put them on. Every leak stort some thoughts about that.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
You would think, you know, I guess they have ice
in their veins, so to speak.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh that's good. I like that. That was really good.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
Yeah, you know, I wouldn't mind going there one day either.
I guess now I know it's it's safe at night.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
That's good enough. Yeah, I love that. After I get
double with a bunch of these other places, I like
to go back there, But we tell a fear to
go all right, tyreson if we're ever gonna get there.
Pretty cool. They don't know game members they'll do that.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I think Iceland is too scenic to have anybody ever angry.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
I mean you know.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
All the mountains, and you know the different waterfalls, and
you know all the farmland. So I don't think people
even can be mad. It'll be interesting to know if
Iceland is will take scessible. That's definitely one place that
would be very interesting for me to go. It's definitely
funny to know that they don't have any game members.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Right, all right, it's doing good man. I'm proud of
this guy, all right. Ky.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
So, Iceland doesn't have a huge population. It doesn't have
a ton of big city where you kind of start
to think of where you think of gangs more in
some of the bigger cities. It's got beautiful landscape and countrysides.
And I think because of that, it has a smaller population.

(34:29):
More people know everybody, so like you know all the
people around you, and so I think it's got it's
less likely to have. I'm not saying it doesn't have any.
It does have some gangs, just fewer, and I might
venture to say that in the winter time, a lot
of people when we were out there, we had tour guides,

(34:50):
and a lot of the tour guides don't live in
Iceland year round. They only live there during the summer,
so I'm guessing that most gangs would maybe be there
in this but they might not live there in the
in the winter because it gets pretty cold and pretty dark.
Like when we were there, there were times that the
sun hardly went hardly goes down, so it's the opposite

(35:13):
in the winter, so there would be few daylight hours,
so that might have something to do with it as well.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
No Iplon reminded me a lot of Alaska with a
few daylight hours, that's for sure. So with that, so
we'll turn over to Candy First Nation Break.

Speaker 6 (35:26):
South Florida Tribune Publishing Company published a book, Lessons from
the Microphone, Tuning into the Enduring Wisdom of Visionary Leaders.
It is written by our host Scott the MotorCity mad
Mom Morgan. Roth talks about his forty plus years in

(36:30):
Last but not least, if you want, you should tune
in Wednesday nights. We do a special series that we
have been doing. It is we have a nineteen ninety
four former Olympic bobsledter who talks about CTE and he's

(36:51):
trying to raise money for He wants to give free
hyperbaric U hyperbaric appointments to anybody that is either affected
by CTE because it's been known that it helps alleviate
some of the symptoms. So he's actually had a former

(37:13):
teammate that committed suicide and so he talks. We're doing
a series on Wednesday nights on No Limits where we've
done two episodes already, so go check it out. You
can find the first two episodes and then you can
catch us Wednesday night. This is his GoFundMe account for
those that want to donate to help him give free

(37:35):
hyperbaric chamber appointments to people, and eventually he'd like it
to This is for him and his equipment because he's
got a hyperbaric chamber or he's trying to get one,
but then eventually he'd like to expand and to be
able to give appointments to people to go to their
own other places hyperbaric chamber appointments. So if you feel

(37:59):
it in your heart, please help.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
And the individual that Candies talk about, the Will Person,
he appears on that show and also now he's under
Sports and Change as well at nine o'clock to get
a double dose of WILF person. Figure that he's really
earned the right to go on both shows. And well
we leave Wednesday night. Well, first thing, he's already acclimated
to the nature of my non force topics with are
so much more in depth with the group I have there.

(38:23):
You don't believe me, Ask Marvin Paul the Third who
got hit with a Charlie Kirk topic the first time
on and he lived through that show. So you can
handle Charlie Kirk and Will Marvin Paul the third, then
be better tune in Wednesday, because I'm throwing all the
haymakers there. Some of the topics we bring on money
and I are okay, but there's more of a lighthearted
show and I can balance them out with both places.

(38:45):
So with that said, we'll go to one more non
force topic, get back on baseball, and that's a New
York City loft nine billion dollars that five years Rob.
How of that possible?

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Well, it's possible because of all these time. Okay, that's
what's going on. Everybody's moving these businesses. They're moving to Texas,
they're moving to Florida. You know, everybody's leaving. You know
who's making a lot of money though moving companies. That's
who's making a lot of money in New York City
right now?

Speaker 5 (39:18):
Suret You know, one of my clients is a realtor
who specializes in relocation and he has had a very
good year.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
I can only imagine Terry.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
New York is just one of those places that you
just if you're from New York, you you live here
because you're.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Comfortable, not because you like it.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
If I had a choice, I'll be on the first
plan out out of New York. You know, I definitely
want to be in a place eventually to stretch for
my feet. I just feel like, you know, with all
the overcrowdedness and everything that comes with that, it's just
not no ideal.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
So I can see why they're they're losing money many.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Okay, so let's let's let me ask everybody on this panel.
Have you seen a rising cost of cost of living?
For you guys? Like when you go to the grocery store,
doesn't it cost you more money? Like all of your
expenses cost more money. So New York City is facing
financial challenges due to its declining tax base. Yes, from

(40:29):
high income residents and businesses leaving, coupled with increased spending
on social services and a drop in foreign tourism. So yes,
not only our residents, but also businesses are leaving New
York City and they're moving. They're going to Florida, California, Texas.

(40:50):
Wall Street firms have also relocated, taking billions in assets
with them. And then there's the city's budget is under
pressure from rapidly growing expenses for social programs in special education,
as well as the cost of supporting a large migrant population.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Okay, hey, talk about no hitter. We like to have
no hitters on these shows, and we're gonna talk about one.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Get this. On August twenty sixth, that was a lot
long way back. Brett Favor again throws a no hitter.
Rob in your eyes. Tell me what you think of
Brett Favor heading in the history realms, Well.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
The first part of his career with Kansas City, excellent pitcher,
gets traded to the New York Mets, goes downhill. So
you know, it's a tale of two pictures as far
as I'm concerned. But yeah, I remember that no hitter.
Uh with Casey he was excellent with the Mets not
so much.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Actually, I saw him playing in the Florida State League
with the Fort Myers Royals, is what I did. And
I knew when I saw there in the Plorida State League,
which then with a high class they leave, that this
guy can make the major go ahead store.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
I thought Saberhagen had one really good year with the Nets.
I think he did have one.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Yes, he did have one good year.

Speaker 5 (42:11):
He strikes season. Yeah, what I remember about that no hitter?
Wasn't there a play where Kirk Gibson the ball had
gone off his glove. He was playing in the field
behind saber Hagen, and at first they rolled it ahead
and eventually they changed it to an error, and thus
he had his no hitter. Probably a case of someone
at the time before the nets had any no hitters,

(42:32):
of someone, you know, getting their no hitter with somebody else,
whether it was before they got to the nets or
after they got to the netshy Reeve.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Saber Hagen is not a name I'm familiar with.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
All I can say on the no hitter though, is
when you're in the zone, you're in the zone, and
when you're feeling it, you're feeling it.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
So kudos to him, all right, Candy.

Speaker 6 (42:59):
Yeah, he was the last known to throw a no
hitter as a Royal at Via Royal.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (43:09):
You know, he had some good years. He has won
the Cy Young Award a couple of times. He won twice,
three time All Star World Series Champion back in eighty five,
World Series MVP back in eighty five, Al American League

(43:31):
eer A leader back in eighty nine, and pitched a
no hitter in August twenty sixth, nineteen ninety one. We
talked about how that that's so hard to do no
hitter because a most players won't get the chance to
pitch all nine innings anymore, so to do a complete
no hitter by yourself is a feat that few get

(43:54):
to do. But kudos for him because I'm you know,
no matter who you're, no matter who you're throwing it against,
you know that that team never wants to be the
team that doesn't get a hit. But you're playing professional ball,
like you're all professionals, So for you to be able
to know hit how many batters, that's a pretty pretty

(44:14):
amazing feat.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Yeah. I was intriguing about these no hitters. I like
to find the different people who throw them at different times.
And actually it was Mickey Callaway, you know, being the
pitching coach, that really got me intrigued with this segment,
and I've been able to do more research on it
and as a result, I find more and more fascinating.
I like to put them on, you know, on the
Monday Night show. More so on Monday Night, because a

(44:38):
Saturday talking baseball shows a different animal altogether. We'll be
doing some different things with Dad as time goes on.
Stay tune for updates.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
Scott right, Well, add one last thing, to him. Yeah,
So when he led the Royals to the World Series
championship and was named MVP, he pitched two complete games,
including a shutout in Game seven. So that's pretty amazing
in the World Series to do that, besides the no
hitter that he put, you know, great.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Sand All right, Well, get this, Vancouver's baseball loyalties are divided.
In the Jays are facing the Mariners the ALC I
think I have Canada right across. I can see the
Dynamics to Detroit Windsor. And of course that's the reality
is that, you know, the Jays obviously are affiliated with

(45:28):
the Buffalo Bisons, the team I nearly got a job for.
But you know, you think about Canada as they're divided.
So do you root for the team across the border?
Do you do the roots for the team? You know?
To me in Canada, I mean we have Canada or Seattle,
you know, one in Canada, one across the border. Rob,

(45:50):
I think I got to figure it out for you
to go, man.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
Yeah you did. Yeah, it's you know, that's that's something else.
You would think that they'd want a Canadian team to uh,
you know, to root for a Canadian team, But it's
sort of like sort of like New Jersey right North
New Jersey Yankee and met fans, South Jersey Philly fans,
so you know, not as big. It's not two countries,

(46:14):
but a Philadelphia might as well be another country. Uh
you know, as far as I'm concerned, because we know
about those Philly fans.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, tell that to Steve roy show when he comes
on one of these shows that you guys can battle
it out. I'll be looking for new battles as time
goes on. I get very creative with this baseball show.
I really will. Now once the regular season ends, just
everybody knows, it'll be a totally different animal. I love
to get managers and coaches on there, but after the
World Series, you want people that are insiders that know

(46:44):
the game beyond just what you do on the pens.
And those are some of the things I'm currently working
on here on the South Porida Tribua Media Network. That's
why I'm a gun slinger. I'm like Pett Parr. If
I can find something that's unique out there, I'm gonna
throw it out there and a hall that pay as
far as I and if you don't be me, I'll
give you one of the things I did this weekend
cover the Miami Hurricanes of Louisville Cardinals. Right, what do

(47:06):
you think I did now? I didn't talk to Mario
chrystlall I need him. I talked to Jeff Brome, head
coach of Louisville Cardinals. I'm proud to say their numbers
on that are really, really good. They really are. So
I don't mind going a different direction if I need to,
because this isn't about doing the obvious. It's about being different.
And that's one of the things I emphasize in my
book for sure. And Rob, when you get down here

(47:28):
to South Florida, I'll personally sign a book over to
here when you get here. He just reached out to me,
and get down there. We're going to catch up to
get a bite fair enough.

Speaker 4 (47:37):
Yeah, definitely, and I'll bring you know, I Rosalie ordered
me one, so I'll just bring mine.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
What's that okay?

Speaker 4 (47:45):
Oh yeah book? Yeah, well that.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Time, so I'll sign hers if she's down here. And
I'll also get you one and tell Chris if you's
got enough gut to come on a Wednesday shouting I'm
kidding with you, then I'll do it now, I wouldn't
be asking him too much if he fills in when
he does every fine. I just think Chris got a
little bit overwhelmed with that, and then again, most normal
people would. But what do you do?

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Well?

Speaker 5 (48:08):
You know, you know what?

Speaker 4 (48:08):
It was real quick. It's he's starting that new football
show on our network and I'm not I'm just producing
and I'm not on it right now. So's he took
on a lot. But like I said, he's gonna fill
in for me when I go on the cruise on
that that Monday night.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
So I like it crazy?

Speaker 4 (48:27):
What are you talking?

Speaker 2 (48:27):
I like the guy. I'll tell you I had a
good time with him. He just Chris is a little
easy going, laid back guy's ever seen dol Wory Stewart.
I'll bring you on that night when he's on here.
You're talking about one of those laid back cats on
the planet. Chris is good. I love the guy and
let him know I do, and looking forward to making
it easy. They say, hey, you know what you tell him?
The non force topics he hits on Monday Night aren't

(48:48):
anything like you got to hit one. Oh, they're more
Iceland and more laid back and all that, so he
doesn't have to get overwhelmed. Anybody would. Why do you
think I brought one person in there? He don't care,
Marvin Paul, He loves it.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Man.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Some of these guys that are out there, they gravitate
to this Controcy's the nice, easy going guy. Don't worry, Stuart.
You'll eat the other half of his duo when he
comes back on that particular night. So of course, Stuart,
now thats you're in your off season. You're gonna be
a lie interesting people down what you need so far,
and Stuart Hack will tell you how many times that
we have Mark Letell and do a lot of crazy,

(49:21):
wild stuff.

Speaker 5 (49:22):
Stuart, Yeah, had a lot of fun with him.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Yeah, markle tell resting, that's for sure. All right, Well
we let's continue on the team here, the Sandel Mariners.
We know clich the spot in the posting and look
where they are, and they're really close, really close to
the world series aloftas yet. But Rob, when you think
about the sanel Maners, then we did a show last
week on a team of Destiny. We'll see if Destiny

(49:45):
ends or not tonight, but the Fandel Minitors are quite
the story.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
Rob, Yeah, they are. They were a fun team to
watch this year. They were fun to watch in the playoffs,
and right now they are. You know, I have the
game on there. They're actually leading two to one, so
there's your update. And you know, it would be it'd
be amazing to see them in the World Series against
the Dodgers. I mean, that'll be I think they'll be overmatched,

(50:10):
but you never know. That's why you play the games.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Absolutely, go ahead, start.

Speaker 5 (50:17):
Yeah, it would be a great story, as I said earlier,
if the Mariners got in, you know, especially with each
roll getting in the Hall of Fame this year. So
you know, I just hope it's a competitive series. You
get a little nervous after seeing how the Dodge but
the Dodgers did to the Brewers, and you know, it'd
be better for baseball if it was Seattle or even Toronto.

(50:37):
This was a six or seven game World Series, right
hy Reeve.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Oh, I think Seattle is definitely deserving.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
I think, you know, uh, with all these.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Teams like the Brewers, the Mariners, the Blue Jays.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
You know, they've all they've all paid their dues to
the Baseball Society, so it's good to see them finally
relishing and taking advantage of the moment, and I.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Hope they can give their fans something special.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
I don't know if they're gonna, you know, beat the Dodgers,
but you know, they definitely made a statement this season.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
Candy, you know, if my Brewers can't do it, than
any team that wants to take down the Dodgers, more
power to them.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Laughing on that one, Candy, keep.

Speaker 6 (51:33):
It up, you know, I mean good kudos to the
Seattle Mariners forgetting as far as they have, and the
same with Toronto. My my question would be is which
one would have better ratings on t on for them?
Would it be Toronto getting better ratings or would it

(51:53):
be Seattle getting better ratings. You know, it'll be interesting
if they're both. If it's Seattle in LA, they're all
out on the West Coast, they don't have to do
a lot as much traveling as if it's Toronto in LA.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
We'll see. Time will tell that said time to talk
about the Mets. So we got a few topics delegated
to almost the heavy Met show. I want to make
sure we got to the body of the show before
we go out with the Mets. That that's this and
it's heard to believe that the Mets didn't make the
playoffs and spent one billion dollars in free agency. I
would take a lot of scabbage.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
Yeah, tell me about it. I you know it's here.
Here's the deal. David Stern's I think he thought he
was going to get lightning in the bottle again with
the pitching staff, all right. Why he spent money on
Frankie Montas, I'll I'll never understand why why he did that,

(52:47):
took a chance on him. We knew, me and Chris
talked about this so many times. We knew that it
was going to turn out the way that it that
it turned out, Yeah, it's you know, not all the
money was spent the right way, of course, But listen,
Soto ended up having a Sodo year. Right. The problem
with the Mets simple starting pitching left. They left a

(53:09):
lot of men on base towards They had a great
you know April and may we know that and then
we know what happens and center field was a big
problem for the Mets. And I actually wanted them for
the trade deadline, which turned out to be also bad
for the Mets. I wanted them to get Mullins from
from the Orioles, I did not think that he was

(53:31):
gonna bombs as much usually did, so you know that
that's the key. But yeah, for them, it's an embarrassment
not to not to make the postseason with a payroll
like that.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Sure, you know I would.

Speaker 5 (53:47):
When I was on the show mid season, I said,
the only way they were not going to make the
playoffs is like a two out of their four the
big four got hurt, and that didn't happen everyone, you know,
as far as they stayed healthy, and they still didn't
get the playoffs. And I think it could be attributed
to two things. One the starting pitching, as Robert mentioned,

(54:10):
I think in the beginning of the year, when the
starting pitching was going good, it was almost like they
were lucky when you think about when you go back
and think about it now, and then they all kind
of went back fell down to earth as the season
went on. And the other thing is stuff is coming
out about things that were going on in the clubhouse
that maybe the chemistry wasn't there, and you could you know,
it was almost like they built this team like you

(54:32):
were building a fantasy baseball team, and that doesn't always
equate to chemistry. You know, you need the right guys
in the clubhouse. They had it last year with the Glassies.
Now I don't I don't disagree with them not resigning him.
You know, he didn't do great in San Diego, but
for last year, they you know, he really made that

(54:54):
team in the clubhouse and they didn't have anybody like that.
Maybe Sterling Marte, but not to that extent. And I
think that hurt them, and especially once they started going
on these losing streaks that they just couldn't dig their
way out of, and it it was just like a
domino effect. It just went downhill really fast. It was.
It was really really painful to watch.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
And I'm glad you brought the Wan total reference of
every A lot of people thought when he brought him
in that there's maybe their ticket to the Paul class
that we saw a deal with the Yankees. As there
turns out, neither team made it this year to begin
with another day for another time, but one total and
fantasy baseball. That's interesting thought of it that way, that
they're building like a fantasy baseball team. Very tough start, Okay, Tyrese.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
When when I saw the uncertainty.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
And the the Uh, I guess the questionableness of Sean
and I's obleaque strain. During the preseason, I'm like, Okay,
something is not right here. And then when I see
them putting trust in a person like hat Scar Bronzi, band,
Phil Matan and guys who have improved themselves, I'm like,

(56:07):
oh shit, here we go. So it's like, I think
Colwen put wanted to put his money where.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
His mouth was, but he he didn't. He didn't think postseason.
He was only thinking of.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Okay, uh, let's get butts in seats and let's sell
out city Field and let's be New York's team. But yeah,
the baseball is a longevity sport. And when you compare
what Carlos Mendoza did this season, it's so let's say
a manager like Rob topped him from the Phillies, who

(56:43):
you know has the right mix of voices in the dugout.
It's it just I just scratchify hadn't discussed. I mean, uh,
at the end.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Of the day, they fired, they fired Jamie Heffner. I
don't think.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
I don't think you can put the starting pitching problems
solely on Jurating Hill.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Yes, he has been there, for a while.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Yes, he's the main guy, but if guys aren't healthy
and guys can only last five innings, there's way bigger problems.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
Amazing, you know what's amazing value Tyrenes. I asked Carlos
Mendozo about Starling martein Hoscar Brozigan Brosi and I, okay,
they'll research him. She was right there when I asked
him those questions. He thought they were going to be
a bigger factor than they were. Especially the guy coming
from the Marlin is getting attention by the Mets. So
the fact that you have brought Brosman on and Ron

(57:36):
Tooms is a really good reference to Candy.

Speaker 6 (57:40):
You know, here's the one big difference between. So that
there's two big differences between and I'm going to compare
the Mets to the Brewers. One is the payroll, but
two is the energy and the excitement and the like
the family atmosphere that the Brewers have that they've talked
about the Pat Murphy really encouraged is the camaraderie, the

(58:03):
playing for each other. And that's the opposite of what
I see for the Mets. And those are like the
two ways that they're opposites and I think about the
Brewers getting as far as they did because they don't
have one star that needed Oh I need this many
at bats, I need this many pitches, I need this,

(58:24):
I need that. And they're also not They don't have
the they didn't have the pressure on them, like we
talked about the Mets have the pressure with that kind
of a payroll, they've got to, you know, perform, They've
got to have this they've got and I think at
some points they felt that, you know, and putting added
pressure and stress never is good for anybody, I don't

(58:45):
care who you are. It's not good for your health,
it's not good for it doesn't produce results with stress.
So I think that's part of it too, you know.
Although I mean I could say the same for the Dodgers,
and yet look at where they are, so I guess
you gotta sometimes throw those things out the window. But

(59:07):
I still think the New York media is more soft
than the LA media that I think there's more pressure
on the New York teams than there is on the
LA teams.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Two more topics we could get to only two teams
in MLB history. MLB history with a three hundred million
plus tay Role have not made have missed the playoffs.
Guess what it not hard to figure out, Robbie, is
that the New York Mets twenty twenty three and twenty
twenty five, Oh Nellie and the old I Pepe Jackson.

Speaker 4 (59:38):
Yeah, well you know what killed them in twenty twenty
three Diaz getting injured in the World Baseball Class. Yeah,
all right, that's that. That just brought the whole team.
I mean, they it was a downer right before the
season even started. But that's that's a crazy stat That's
a crazy stat.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Why do you think I bring him on there? Come on, man?
One thing I got to tell people to show being
a makeball purist tyres as you're figuring out, my friend,
as I like coming up with stats. The one thing
we have to make sure that I emphasize our audiences.
My goal here is to education you, but also entertain y.
And I think education and entertaining go hand in hand.

(01:00:22):
And that's why I come up with these the wall stats.
All right, Stuart.

Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
I think the big problem was is they tied up
a lot of money in long term deals. So you know,
they have Lindor forever, they have Soto forever, Nimo had
signed an eight year deal. I think he's got at
least five years left. You know, now, well they sign
Alfonso and Alfonso Alonzo rather Alonzo, you know, he's maybe

(01:00:49):
asking for seven years. Did they give it to him. Diaz,
you know, has the opt out, so he's gonna want
to sign something. Do you want to tie in all
this money the long term? It's almost like you have
five John Carlos Stantons on your payroll and I don't know,

(01:01:09):
I get a little nervous with that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
The the the the payroll is definitely something to uh uh,
something to be concerned about. I think, you know, if
you want to build a culture, you have to look
at what is going to give you the biggest band
for your buck and tie tying up so many players
at one time, it's only gonna hinder, you know, the

(01:01:39):
progress of the team.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
You know, they they.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Could have you know, you know, let's say if they
opened up the books a little bit better, or what
was strategic with moving the money around, maybe we could
have saw Sandy out Contra.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Maybe in the you know in Queens, you know, get
some more quality guys with some more experience and not
like a Ryan Helsley, who you know, was so great
one month in Saint Louis and.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
That went completely fit in clean. So you know, I
just think, you know, they are not thinking about long term.
They're only thinking about right now.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
We see how much that hurt Cleans Candy, you know, to.

Speaker 6 (01:02:24):
Pay some of these guys such big contracts. And yes,
I mean even though we talk about their payroll is huge,
but it's huge because they have some really big contracts.
How many how much depth do you have when you
have injuries? Then do you have enough money that you're

(01:02:44):
getting quality players? And if you're not getting quality players,
are you getting guys that want to be there and
want to be on the team. And I just don't
think they had the depth that they needed to in
a cohesiveness. You know, it's they you can't always buy championships.

(01:03:08):
The New York Mets are proof of that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
It's true. You know, New York Post agreed with the
candidate because they called it the amazing disgrace. Three hundred
and forty million dollars of Mets left. And obviously when
you look at the fact that it's just amazing being
how that read how they paid the last loss and
collapsed and it also went out there put Cincinnati in

(01:03:37):
the playoffs. My gosh, Rod Rob, amazing disgrace. Is that
probably the best way to describe what took place.

Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
Yeah, I said it, you know, on our show time
and time again. It was a disgrace. That's the pitching staff.
And here's what the problem is. Yes, Cincinnati backed in
because the Mets were just the Mets just handed it
to him. It was like a president. One of the
problem is the Mets put all the pressure on these

(01:04:05):
three young pitchers and only one of them, you know,
was able to handle it. McLean, he looks great, happy
with him. But Sprout, he was all right. Tom. He
that that poor kid looked like the deer caught in
the headlights when when he pitched against Texas Rangers when
de Gram came back. It was just you know that

(01:04:28):
that when something like that happens, you don't know what
it could do to this kid's career, you know, something
like that. So yeah, it's yeah, I agree with the
New York Post.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Well, think about it. You guys have been talking about
the long and short term nail polo. You gotta wonder
where that's gonna play out. And I love the jin
Carlos Stanton reverenced by Francisco Lindor a lot of money
to so Sandy al Contra, It'll be interesting to see
how that one plays out. And as I said, so
they're bringing all these different names, Sandy al Contra, we'll

(01:05:00):
talk more and more about the Marlins on future shows
as well, but they don't have to see how it
all plays out for sure on New York Post obviously
one of the bigger newspapers in the area, for sure.
So go ahead and Stuart, you.

Speaker 5 (01:05:14):
Know, you know, Rob mentioned the young three, and I
think with Tom, I think he's got to have twenty
twenty six completely in triple A and just not worry
about coming up unless they could even you know, and
I'd be open and trading him in a deal for
maybe someone you know, bigger. At this point, McLean, I
want to see how this plays out on my team.
I want to keep him here and sprout I'm not sure,

(01:05:37):
I guess in the right deal, I would move him.
You know, you have some of these young talents, and
then they have this kid, Jet Williams, an outfielder, you know,
so they have some young talent coming in and if
they can move some of the big contracts if it's possible,
you know, without having to eat too much money. Maybe
they got to do it, but they also have to

(01:05:58):
look at chemistry. And I think that they kind of
missed this last year. Twenty twenty four they had it,
but twenty three and twenty five they didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Hear.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
I I my thing. I want to say. I want
to see the farm system reevaluated.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
You know, I was my eyes were open to okay,
maybe this farm season farm system isn't as you know,
glamorous as people are making it. When they called Blake
ted well up and he, you know, he was just okay,
he didn't really find his groove. He didn't have command.

(01:06:36):
And this is a guy so high on their drib
board and so well respected in their minor league system.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
I was like, wow, this is like really shocking.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
And then they just ship them off to San Francisco
a couple months later. So it's like, are they really
developing these young arms or are they just you know,
making sure they can put them in minor league situation
where they succeed a little bit and look good to
other teams, and they ship them off when they need money, you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
Know, maybe.

Speaker 6 (01:07:09):
I think the part of it is is everybody's in
a win now situation, and I think when they're in
a win now, I think sometimes you rush the development
of some players. And we talk about you know how,
and maybe not so much in baseball, but you see

(01:07:30):
all these coaches that get fired for you know, different sports,
and it's because they don't have patience. They want to
they want everybody to win now. So we're rushing some
of these pitchers up. Sometimes they're not ready. They need
time in the minor leagues. And there's a reason why
we have minor leagues for baseball. You know, sometimes it

(01:07:53):
works out and sometimes it doesn't. You can make a
case for like the Marlins. The Marlins have one of
the younger teams, So do the Brewers actually have one
of the younger teams? Are they bringing them up the
right way and giving them enough time? And then if
they don't perform right away, are you shipping them back down?

(01:08:13):
Which might have to They might lose some of their confidence.
Maybe they need to you know, maybe you need to
leave them in a little bit longer sometimes because if
you pull them too quickly, they lost they don't have
a chance to regain what their confidence back. That's it's
not an easy job to be a manager these days.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
Let me tell you something, Don Maniguet many Lee and
I talked a lot about this, whether it's in media availabilities,
which I was always a part of when I was there,
and privately Don and I, when you know it or not,
we talked about some stuff and that's why it was
one of the rare people that Candy, Candy, I want
you to go ahead, break down for the audience listening
first time, how we manage to get that one on
one interview. But I'll say this before you do that

(01:08:57):
is we talk about it a lot. And trimpla doesn't
mean here and make the big leaks. I mean you're
getting out there and adapting to another story. And Katy,
why don't you go ahead preppers that as well as
we get ready to have to show up.

Speaker 6 (01:09:11):
I mean, it completely depends because now, Scott, you have
a relationship previous with Don Mattingly, So basically I mean
you contact their PR department. We contacted them. We told them,
you know, we'd like to interview Don. Don goes back
with Scott. Then the PR department goes back to Don

(01:09:33):
and asks him, Hey, you know, we have this interview
that their requesting. Is it something you want to do
or not? Don graciously said yes. Obviously, the PR person
came back to me afterwards after we did the interview
and he's like, he goes, they must go back, you
know a ways he goes because Don doesn't give a

(01:09:55):
lot of interviews during the year because he's currently doing
you know, he he's not the manager of the team.
And so there are some managers that we know, Scott
and I'm not gonna tell say who they are, but
there are some managers that don't let their coaches be
interviewed by anybody. No, so that also had to probably
take place. But Don and Scott go way back, so yes.

(01:10:20):
The Pierre guy was surprised that Don said yes, and
thankfully we got to talk to him and Scott got
a one on one interview with Don and.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
That was cool, questibly one of the best interviews I've
ever done in my forty seven years. Everybody in this business.
I'm grateful for Don. Looking forward to going back to
Duned and seeing him again and again this probably set
up a little bit though when I went to Toronto.
It really was and I'll tell you why. Candy and
I had an opportunity to catch a Toronto Blue Day
game and I put the request to one of the

(01:10:52):
people was in charge of Blue Jays, pr and Don
and I spent some time. I wrote a story. Then
while I was reminiscing this set the same for a
one on one interview. What took place? So this and
now I'm looking forward to get back to Dundein as well.
So there's a lot of different things, but just go
to show you people relationships to everything. That's every person
on this show is a relationship of some kind. Tyreeves

(01:11:14):
came from Lincoln, Rob came from Twitter. Stewart came from
Peter Ween and as a result, that's why we are
here today. Canny, Well, come on, you gotta.

Speaker 6 (01:11:24):
You gotta say it, because honestly we met online as well.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Exactly I wanted to you just say it. Take them out,
come on, say it.

Speaker 6 (01:11:34):
Plenty of fish.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
You just.

Speaker 5 (01:11:41):
You have your Marlin's reference there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
No, that was good. I like that. That was good.
All right, Well, i'll tell you what We're going to
the station break. Great job by everybody tonight. We went
top heavy match tonight. I'll tell you why George ey
Corn was not on tonight because he's cover of the
Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a good
little Lions fan as they continue to lead into the

(01:12:05):
third quarter or fourth quarter twenty one to nine. So
this gave me an opportunity to stack the deck on
the Mets a little bit, and I'm glad we did.
And the Mets are an organization I will tell you
has treated me many many years really well, led by
Jay Horowitz, is one of the PESTPR guys out there
for sure. So all right, Canny, you go to the
station break.

and I mean you never know what we're gonna be getting.
Thursday nights you have fire Up. Then Wednesday nights, like
I said previous, we are doing the show No Limits
with the former Olympic Bob Slutter and then Thursday nights
Scott will throw in sometimes MotorCity Madmont Show. So last

(01:14:14):
week he did an interview with him and former I
shouldn't say former in Detroit, Trevor Thompson. But he's done
other ones, and typically Monday nights, except we didn't do
it tonight he does the Professor and the Pupil and
then also on Saturday mornings he does another Baseball Talking Baseball.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
And that will return this Saturday. By the way, last week,
obviously I decided to take a break when to get
some Aaron's done, and I was coming had the Miami
Hurricane Louisville Cardinals the night before, so I was really
worn out. So if there's ever a time to take
a day off, it's a day after a came game
because people have to understand the demands what we do there.
We get there early. I try to lay out the

(01:15:02):
groundwork with the PR people from the other side to
get those interviews, and then Candy focuses on the Kane side.
They have a football game, and there you go. We
have a six to eight hour day. So that was
your right Saturday takeoff, and I'm looking forward to building
that show up as well. So I a lot of
different things in the works, and I were able to
get tonight ten and probably with the group that we
have with that said, Tyree, so gotta let you go

(01:15:25):
out there, tell everybody what you're looking to accomplish and
how people do you get a hold of.

Speaker 3 (01:15:30):
I'm really just looking to get my feet further further
in the journalism community. You guys can find me on
LinkedIn at my name's Tyrese Allen Davis.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
You can find me on Instagram at Underscore the Tank
that's the think Tank, and then you can also.

Speaker 3 (01:15:53):

I'm just looking forward to connecting with fellow sports fans,
fellow riders, and I'm always a student of the game,

(01:16:15):
so I'm always ready and willing to learn anything.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
Well. I'm impressed by your battle of cerebral prosy. This
guy does not let cerebral palsy get in his way,
and that's one of the most impressive, uplifting things I've
ever had. And I don't care what I've always I'm
always willing to give everybody a shot. And when I
saw that Tyreesee was ambitious and he had cerebral prosy,
I'm always going for an underdog story. So the fact

(01:16:41):
the guy has cerebral palsy, and of course I'm dealing
with alzheimer'sus easy on set of it, so I can
appreciate where this guy's coming from. And our goal here
on the South Word or three media network is to
do everything we can to get this guy on the
track and change his dreams as well. Okay, with that said, short,
let everybody know how they get ahold of.

Speaker 5 (01:17:00):
So I do have a day job hack Tax and

Hack Tax and Accounting dot Com. Yes, I should have

(01:17:44):
thought that out better when I set it up kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
Wrong, but well, we'll do the next time. Candy, you'll
put something in there. Let us know before the show.
We'll just flash on the screen for people on YouTube insad,
so'll send it to us and we'll put up there
the next time. And you do contribute during the off
season one hundred and eighty pitch a Baseball Dogs and
Swart was with me at the beginning when we did
this thing. We had a lot of great stuff to do.

(01:18:07):
And I'm glad that you're back on during the off season.
Now we give you the opportunity to talk baseball, but
it gives you opportunity to promote your firm as well.
And you know, Stuart, you and I love doing it.
We did with Peter Wayne, and I think Peter in
Heaven would be proud that you and are continuing that
thing that we're doing as well. Rob go ahead, my friend,
you got shows to talk about it, and of course
now you're my co host, and obviously I knew of putting.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
You on was a no brainer great show. Everybody got
of fun tonight yep, get me at ny MLB, talk
on Twitter, on YouTube, on TikTok, and we have our
schedule this week is kind of crazy. We're gonna have
some World Series previews, so we're gonna put up the schedule.
Next Monday, we have John Diaquisto, who pitched for the

(01:18:52):
San Francisco Giants and the Padres among other teams, Monday
at three pm. That should be a lot of fun.
And following week on November three, we're going to have
the return of Ed Lynch, former New York Mets and
Cubs pitcher and GM of the Cubs. So we have
some interest in shows coming up.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
Yeah, I'll be curious see how that a Lynch plays
out and let him know that he's got a spot
with you and I here on this show as well,
and hopefully he'll come on and join us as Rob
and I continue to move against back and forth to
his shows in mind and obviously found himself with a
guy who's definitely an inspirational story is in Tyrese Allen
Davis as well, and I'll think it's sending more your way, Rob,

(01:19:32):
but your first actors with this guy here on our
show tonight. That's not my friend.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
Sounds good. He's great, you know, listen, he's got a
great baseball mind, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
While he's on this show. Pal, there's a method for
my man. Even though you didn't see me yellow a
whole lot tonight, I don't want to worry out. I
need to make sure you got through the end of
without are too bad and our times a little bit
more hyper like in the morning at nine. I'm just
taking it, easy going and all that that says. I've
done that for this addition, one hundred and eight such
