Happy Monday for the second time. Anyway. Underneath which is
Fateball Talk, brought to you by the South Porda Tribune,
and please do be joined by a former Philadelphia Phillies
war and Brester. I don't know if I'm very good
when it comes to the Michael Buffer imitation. Probably got
a good crew. Warren played for the Philadelphia Phillies. And
before I introduce the other crew, Glad hand me back

(00:46):
warnings to be joining us from funds a time on
Monday nights.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yes, sir, thank you, Scott. It's great to be here.
I've always loved to do in your show and it's
always a great time.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Well, we expect to live up to that. That's a
sort of going forward. So but that said, Warren, why
don't you give everybody in the audience an overview for
somebody you knew followers about your career with the Philadelphia Phillies.
And I introduced the rest of the group.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
All right. I played for the Philadelphia Phillies from nineteen
seventy seven to nineteen eighty two, and we were in
the playoffs seventy seven seventy eight, won the World Series
in nineteen eighty and we were in the Division Series
in eighty one. So I had a very good run
with the Phillies. It was a great great I was
right in the right place at the right time. And

(01:30):
then I got traded to the White Sox, and then
I sold to the White Sox, played there in eighty
two the September of eighty two, and they won their
division the next year in eighty three, And in eighty three,
I was traded from the White Sox to the Cubs,
and then we won the division in Chicago in eighty
four and had a tough had a two game nothing
to lead to going to San Diego and couldn't win

(01:50):
one more game to go to the World Series against
Detroit that year. And then I retired after the eighty
five seasons. I spent three years with the Cubs. So
I had a very fortunate career, and I I loved
every minute of it.

it might pain me Warren to be on here, I'm
a Brewers fan, so that's okay.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
You gotta be very proud of where the Blue has
played this year. They had a great year, best best
record in baseball. They had a pretty good years.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
To right.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Er Well, he was busy agenda. So I hope everybody
can say well for this ride, because it's a wild ride.
And don't worry, we have more World Series material send
me up next week. One hundred and eighty stitches Baseball Talk.
We're going to talk about a lot of different things.
As we use it was our usual format. A lot
of the people we talked about did play in the
World Sorry, so I hope you can hang in there
with me. There's a lot to go ahead and digest.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
Well.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
A player named Will Smith has won the World Series
for the sixth straight year. It said, a player by
the name of Will Smith is won a World Series
a sixth straight year. And we're talking about In twenty
twenty three, we had a Will Smith with the Dodgers
who was a catcher, which is probably the same one
we have here. We had twenty twenty one, there was
a brave pitcher by the name of Will Smith. Twenty

(04:52):
twenty two astro fitcher named Will Smith, twenty three eight
Raiders pitcher named Will Smith. Twenty twenty four, guess it
Will Smith again, and twenty twenty five you guessed it
Will Smith to catcher one. Will Smith is magic when
it comes to a name, a championship, you heard any No,

(05:15):
I never have, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
The only thing I could think of is the Yankees
in all those years in the fifties and sixties when
they wanted every year, you know, yogi, when what do
you have eight or ten something? What an oddity to have,
you know, And there's so many things about it. Somebody, auditor,
he's in baseball. You know and to see that or
Will Smith's won a World Series six years in a

(05:36):
row and it's not the same persons. It's an amazing thing.
But you go to the ballpark every day and you're
going to see something that you've never seen before. You know,
it's it's a beautiful game, and it's there's always something
interesting and something that anytime you go to a game,
there's going to be something there that you've never seen before.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's what makes baseballs for it is well, you think
you've gone out there. And Kevin Taylor, thanks for joining
us for Facebook give Beta, Oh gosh, you want a
lot of World Series? Yeah, and text you one ten
so you'll get vera and man's not over till it's over.
That's good, Kevin. Great to hear from you, really, Kevin.
He's a very dear friend of mine out in Southfield,

(06:13):
Michigan for sure. And Kevin and every time I get
a chance at Gallus and see him, we always hang
out and have a good time. But no more boneyard, Kevin,
as George and I Will know it's long gone in
the eyes of her, all right, So.

Speaker 7 (06:26):
Rob listen, Will Smith, that's an amazing that's really amazing
when you think about it. But I don't think it's
only baseball with the big hits. There's also a Will
Smith who had a big hit at the Oscars too.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Right, or bring up the Oscars. There might be potential
for you, Robin other so called entertainment. You're welcome, Kevin.
I like that. You gotta bring something to that too.
It you just didn't Ro've got. But you're still on
the video and I'm not gonna let you. I'm not
going to quit talking until you don't letter it, okay, George.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, that is really interesting. It is very different, and uh,
that is a very prolific streak. I would say, you know,
the catcher won the three titles for the Dodgers, like
you said, Scott in twenty and twenty four to twenty five,
and then the pitcher is in the middle three years,
if you will, uh, twenty one, twenty two, twenty three.
It's just it's one of those weird or strange things

(07:28):
you know that goes on in sports, and uh, it's
it's great. It's such a simple name too, Will Smith.
I mean, you know, it's it's like Bob Jones or
or you know, it really is it just it just
it cements my feel for baseball always having all kinds
of different things happening. Like you said, you never know
what's going to happen when you watch a game or

(07:48):
go to a ballpark.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Okay, Kate, I know how much you're going to research
system knowing you you have come up with something.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Go ahead, Well, it's two players.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
One is a relief pitcher, one is a catcher. Maybe
next year the both be on the same team.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
You never know.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
But if there's any Will Smith out there available for
the Brewers to sign, sign them.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
I like it. The Milwaukee Brewers. Brewers are accepting applications
for Will Smith. A lot of candy, good stuff coming
from the guy. That guy. So she'll talk about that
story a little bit later. I'm going to the Cats.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
Oh yeah, I mean, you know, I did see that
somewhere where where they had a where a reliever had
made it. And now now the catcher Will Smith has
made it, Who's carved out a pretty good career for
himself with the with the Dodgers. But you know, he's
certainly he certainly has a chance to make it happen
again because the Dodgers, I think have another ring or
two left in him.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Sure, yeah, more interesting in a year from now. We're
doing it, but I think Cats will have his own
show anyhow. I'm gonna be leaning on him anyhow. All
Right with that said, look at tea the narrative of
World Series, and we'll do this. I'm Santry. We talked
about McGill Rojas, and I'll tell you what. This guy here,
he hit a home run off of Blue Jays closer

(09:09):
Jeff Poff, went to tie the game at four four.
Then he had a great play from second base, then
nail down the runner at the play. Tell you what,
there's Miggy in many way, George truly. How do you
like those pictures? Magi and I Marlon and he pulled
them out. How about that Warren? When you're talking about

(09:30):
mcgull Rojas, I think he's manager in material. But I'll
tell you what. He was managing the movement over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, he had a great you know, And that's what
always happens in the World Series in the playoffs, somebody
that flies under the radar all season comes up and
has big you know, big at bats. You know, Isaac
ball game up in the ninth inning of Game seven. Oh,
that's huge, and then makes great defensive play to continu
make the game continue, you know, And that's that's what

(09:57):
it takes. It takes all twenty five guys, you know.
And that's what I we said when we won the
World Series in nineteen eighty, it wasn't twenty five guys.
There was about thirty of us. But by the time
the season was all said and done, every there were
thirty people at least that contributed one day, one game,
one inning, one pitch whatever to us winning the World Series,
getting to the playoffs, winning the playoffs, and then winning

(10:18):
the World Series. So it takes all twenty five guys.
And it's I love watching that because there's always some
guy that's just a he's a starter. Wells and Rohars
hadn't been starting, he hadn't been playing much, right, and
but he keeps himself ready. And that's what the guys
when I played, they had to keep themselves ready because
you never know, you know, one injury here, you never know,

(10:41):
and you could be in the starting lineup for the
next two or three weeks. And you know, so you
got to give a kid like that credit. You know,
he's he's had a punt of obscure career, but boy,
he came up big when he needed to, you know,
and that's he's very, very instrument And then going to
the or winning the World Series, well.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
He prevented his old man manager Don Manly from winning.
End after that, Manley, when do you think about this?
You know, it's unbelievable, but not Manly in Rowhouse work
together with in Miami for sure, and I got to
know Vocal well and I had some time. I ain't
talking fun talking about him. So but yeah, you're right.
I mean, Nigg's at player. I think you manager a

(11:21):
milterial for sure. Okay, so Rob, let's turn it over
to you.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
Yeah, I agree with you about him being managerial, you know,
in the in the in the future, definitely. But I
agree also with what Warren says. There's always someone who
you least expect in the postseason, not only the World Series,
all the postseason. Who gets that hit? You're where you're
in shock? Because I was. I was in shock watching

(11:47):
that that at bat on Saturday. I didn't think he
was gonna hit a home run. I did not think
he was. I was talking to my friend and I said,
I don't you know, I don't think anything's gonna happen
with him up and then two seconds later, boom, it's
out of there. So yeah, it takes all players twenty
five uh. To win a World Series, you need everybody there.

(12:09):
And that was a great hit, and I got to
give them credit.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, I am allegion to the whole guy because I
work for them, both of the Miami Maryland. But that
World Series was very difficult for me because I love it.
Threw off my sleep panters like you wouldn't believe. One
day I get at three o'clock in the morning, came
and I'm out of It's the next couple of days.
I wonder why my interaction on actions going down. I'm
not under because I'm so worn out for the World

(12:34):
Series and I'm the executive producer of a ten post shows.
I mean, my goodness, Sorry my Twitter people, I apologize
for not being an executive, but the World Series and
all the responsibilities I have to do with the network,
I got a train your time. But yeah, you know,
dom Anny Lee and what can I say? Making Rojas
to me when it comes to the Maryland's it's been

(12:55):
don't believable to work with go ahead, George.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, that was certainly a roll of the dice by
mantor Dave Roberts to put him back into the line
up thirty six years old. But he's versatile. He can
play all over the diamond. You look at all these
teams and true, it's very true to form that you
have one or two utility players or maybe more even
on some teams. And they didn't get a lot of
production from him, you know, this season he had two

(13:20):
sixty two, but boy, oh boy, you know, Dave Roberts
pulled the wild card out of that deck and just
he did it for them, and he was just a
tremendous asset on the field and at bat. And congratulations
to him because a lot of people thought, oh, he's
he's done. You know, he wasn't even in the NLCS.

(13:41):
He hadn't appeared since the NLDS, So I mean, you know,
he's he's he's right at the top. And it's a
great story. I love to see stories like that too.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Hky.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
So he debuted in twenty fourteen. In twenty twenty five,
he played one hundred and fourteen games for the Dodgers,
sixty eight at second twenty three at third and twenty
two at short. He batted two sixty two with seven
home runs for the season seven home runs for the season.

(14:15):
In the postseason, he had three hits at five at
bats in the Wildcard Series and was hitless in three
at bats in the NLDS. After not playing in the
first five games of the twenty twenty five World Series,
he was inserted into the starting lineup for Game six
and seven. In Game six, if you remember, he made

(14:36):
a tough catch at second base to help turn the
game ending double play, and then in the winner take
all Game seven, with one run with the Dodgers down
one run, one out in the top of the ninth,
he hit a game tying home run, and then, of course,
in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the bases
loaded and one out, he made a defensive stop at

(14:58):
second base.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
On a ground ball.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
He has also announced after the NLDS that he's going
to retire from professional baseball following the twenty twenty sixth season.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Well in her pocket and you.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Just well, you know, the crazy thing was heading into
that game. Career home runs wise, Miguel Rojas had only
fifty seven bombs in his in his in his very
long career. Not a big power guy. He's a guy.
He's the kind of guy you you take. You know,
he's in the lineup for his glove, not his bat,
and you're willing to put up with that because the

(15:36):
guy is a plus has been a plus defender throughout
his career. And some guys are some guys you know
you want, you want the glove, you're they're there for
the glove. And he's done that very well throughout his career,
being able to play multiple positions at a high level.
But you know, when Jeff Hoffman was in, I knew
that Jeff Hoffman all year long, had a very uny,

(15:56):
was very inconsistent all year He at times could be
pretty erratic as a closer. And he got the first out,
so you know, to here we are two outs to go.
I wasn't expecting Rojas to pop a bomb. I really wasn't.
I was expecting him to you know, if he gets
a hit, great, you know, okay that the Dodgers have something.
The Dodgers have something something going at the moment, or

(16:17):
get or get on base. Never did I expect him
to just completely just just annihilate the ball and launch
it and launch it to left field and then boom,
tie game. I don't think anybody had that on their
bingo on their bingo cards. A matter of fact, it
reminded it reminded me of you know, Canadians are probably
gonna get mad at me over this and and hope
hopefully not treat me the same way they did Scott

(16:39):
back in the day.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
It reminded me of a Blue Monday when Rick Monday
had the home run off of uh against the Montreal
Expos which which ultimately down the down the Expos and
the Dodgers ended up going to the World Series.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Okay, yeah, he always likes to use that analogy when
I ainenated the Montreal people who in Georgia. I Corno's
how vicious that one, and he was trying to save
me from myself. All everybody had a chance to talk
about this topic, I believe, right nobody. All I can
say is he did it against his old manager and

(17:20):
Don Manny, well you know each other. Well, well, maybe
there'll be better times ahead from Don Manny Lee Will.
I think there will be. And I'll tell you nothing
wrong with that picture, right Warren at all? I'm my
great pressure. Yeah, yeah, we have a history together him
and I. Yeah, Max Sursey.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
It looks like yep, Max pitch well too.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Ye save it, leave it Eric. Okay, if I want
to turn over the producer role, we'll never get anything in.
But he's he's a future guy who will have his
own show, but not tonight. You got to make sure
we get it all in otherwise I'm gonna pull my
hair out. Have much in the first place, you take,
I wear cat All right, Well, tell you what. We're

(18:08):
going back in time, and I mean a long, long time.
Walter Johnson makes his regularly debut, pitching poor Washington, Washington
Tenders of the game again the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers
win the game three to two. All right, we're gonna
go back to war. What do you think about Walter Johnson?
You're probably the one guy could appreciate his work more.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Than any of us, right the big train. Yeah, he was,
you know, he was one of the first pitchers that
threw really hard. And I I my father went one
Christmas bought me the Encyclopedia Baseball, and I look, you know,
just I love looking at old records and stuff like that,
and back in the early nineteen hundreds pitchers had, you know,

(18:48):
they were thirty five and twenty eight. They were. They
pitched constantly, so I'm thinking, you know, they were just
like throwing batting practice. But now now guys like Walter
Johnson now set the stage for what became the pitchers,
you know, throwing hard and really making it tough on hitters.
And he was one of the first big time, you know,

(19:10):
Hall of Fame pitchers. He was, he was somebody to
be reckoned with. He was a great, big guy and
threw very hard. From what I understand, I never did
get the same pitch.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
If anybody said a better change than you where I
got a lot of interesting old time trivia. You get
back in the groove, Warren. I get to get the
big train out of there, all right, Roberts.

Speaker 7 (19:33):
Yes, the big train went over four hundred games for
the Washington Senators. And Scott. Here's a little thing, tid
bid that you didn't know. My father played in the
minor leagues for the Washington Senators when Gil Hodges was
the manager. Frank Howard was there and he just didn't
make it to the big leads because he was too slow.

(19:56):
But on the base facts, but he did play in
the minor leagues for the Senators. So Walter Johnson, I mean,
like I just said, over four hundred wins and we
know we're never going to see anything anything near that
again after that, right.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Great stuff, rock I had something to that segment, all right, George,
and then we have the run for next He's gonna
kill me. They don't have a series on the next one.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Walter Johnson. Yeah, that is one of the greatest pitchers
of all time. And of course I young and others,
uh back in the day and uh, you know, winning
four hundred and seventeen games with Ben he became a
manager after he retired. Some people don't remember this, but
he won five hundred and twenty nine more games as
a skipper and uh for Washington and then later for Cleveland.

(20:50):
So this guy had it all. I mean, you know,
elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in nineteen thirty six.
And he just was an incredible pitcher, no question about it.
You know, it's too bad we don't see much and
of the old guys anymore, I mean even highlights. You know,
it seems like these younger players and we've talked about
this before, I know, on Scott's shows. They don't even

(21:12):
have an appreciation or even know some of these names
from the past, and Walter, Walter Johnson is just unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (21:20):
Hey, So just a couple of tidbits for him, because
I'm gon won this too much, But Johnson led the
league in strikeouts for twelve total seasons, wow, eight of
which were.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Consecutive, both all time records. He is the only pitcher
in Major League history to record more than four hundred
wins and strike out more than three tho five hundred batters.
In nineteen thirty six, he was elected into the Baseball
Hall of Fame as one of the first five inaugural members.
But one thing that I know will never be broken.

(21:59):
He remains by far the all time career leader in shutouts,
with one hundred and ten shutouts.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Man, are a crack researcher, Katie. Okay, I'll stop there, great,
right go ahead.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Eric.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
I mean, you know he's on the All Century team
for a reason. I mean, he was a set. He
was the only guy who comes closest to Walter Johnson
is no one Ryan. That's that's about it. But you
know that he's he is the big trade for a reason.
I mean, his shutouts, no one is going to touch
and he's that's why, that's why it's off. You'll often
find people debating who was better, Walter Johnson or Nolan Ryan.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Oh, don't worry, you'll hear me more about Nolan Ryan.
Leader of the show.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I believe that when I read these shows, I believe
in greatness and that's why we drop name drops. You
falling on our show. Don't worry. It's not like may
your own kind of Musicross, get it, bro. Yeah, Walter
Johnson did what he is. He did a lot of
this stuff for the Washington Senators. Frank Howard, Great glad

(23:06):
you brought that name up. Prop Okay, great stuff. All right,
Let's go back to Anthony Bulpey. Here's the guy that
we debated that shouldn't have been on the Yankee postseason roster.
Then he opened up the scoring for the Yankees in
Game one of the wild Card and then on top
of that, okay, Aaron Boom when everybody was questioning he
hid john the Curry said, I'm under contract. The Yankees

(23:28):
will ride him to twenty twenty six. So what did
what will he have to do with bull pay? And
what other changes aside from his coaching staff does he
need to do to get people on his back. First
of all, let's talk this is a two sided question.
First of all, war where your talk about Anthony Bulpey.
He probably had a chance getting over a little.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Bit, right, Yeah, I've got to see him play quite
a bit. You know, the Yankees are on a lot.
I like to watch the Yankees. You know they are.
They hit a lot of home runs. They are very
offensive team, you know, and what they need is defense,
you know that That's that's what's hurt him in the
one hundred and sixty two game season is the mental
They've made some mental mistakes and they've made some physical mistakes,

(24:11):
right and when your defense, pitching and defense wins your championships,
and that's what they're doing. I think they're lacking is
their pitching staff. You know, they've they've had a lot
of injuries to their pitching staff. And until they shore
that and shore up their defense, you know, they've switched.
They put Jazz Chishom at second base to try to
shore that up. And they can live with Vulpe as

(24:34):
long as he makes the everyday plays, As long as
he makes consistently makes place. I think he will grow
into the job. I think he will get better as
time goes on. You know, they're just going to have
to be a little bit patient with them, otherwise they're
going to have to make a change. You know. As
long as he plays defense, with the amount of offensive
players they have, he'll be okay. You know, it just

(24:55):
has to make the routine plays.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
So what do you thought about Anthony Volte overall?

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Well, I like him. I think he's a good player.
You know, I think I think he's going to be
uh there for a while. I think he should be
there short stop. He'll be there probably ten years. You know,
he's unless they have somebody or they trade for somebody.
You know, that's it's the decision of the the people's
front office people have to make. You know. Can they
live with his you know, very not too productive offensively,

(25:25):
but as long as he can make the place defensively,
they can live with him.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
All right. So when you're talking about Aaron Boom, obviously
he's under contact Cobby a couple of years. Everybody wants
done manningly there, yeah, right right, he knows what he
wants to do yet, But was still employed by the Ink.
So let's get the focus on Aaron Boom for right now.
You've got another ear to figure it out.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Right, right, you know. And he's in the he's in
the toughest market in baseball, you know, so he's always
on the under the microscope, day in day out. You know.
I think anybody that plays in New York, coaches in
New York, manages in New York. They're they're under scrutiny constantly,
you know, and boy, you make a mistake and it

(26:08):
just gets magnified. You know. Those people are you know,
they're great baseball fans and they love to win, you know.
And I know when George was alive, I coached in
the minor leagues, and boy, if he came down to
Tampa and came into the minor league complex to see everybody, boy,
they were at attention. It was it was just like

(26:28):
the military. They saluted him and he was you know,
and he said, I don't care about anything but winning.
And that's what in New York is constantly they're very
seldom not in the race all year. You know, They've
they've had very few years in the last forty fifty
years where they haven't been haven't been a contender, you know.

(26:49):
And I think I've known Aaron since he was a
little kid. Bob, his father was our catcher in Philadelphia,
So I've known him since he was five years old.
And he did the boondoggle when he did the ESPN games,
and he used to do that. We played one night
game a year in uh Lakeland, Florida against the Tigers,
and he would go out and do his batting stances

(27:11):
and imitate hitters while the while the ground crew was
getting the field ready to play, and the fans just
went crazy, you know. So he's he's been around the
game a long time and he can He's got his
father's father managed, his grandfather played, you know, so he's
got a lot of a lot of family history. So
he has a lot of opportunity to go to people

(27:32):
who can help him with that job, because that's a
tough job. It's it's one of the toughest jobs in baseball.
But yeah, he's he's got to continue to produce and
make a couple of bad mistakes and boy that you know,
I know the Yankee fans would love to have Mattingly
there as a manager.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, Well, I know one thing I know all George Steinbrenner,
I roll up all of my books and I and
so does Ted Copple. Well, we talked to him up
a manager's thing. He didn't hesitate the leave of nobody
thought to us. Got my early questions and so when
he tout me out, I waited on the very end
to get it in. But jorgsteim Earner is a winner
inside it out. He has a great heart, and he

(28:07):
certainly had a big checkbook, and he commanded winning.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
And that's that's what it's all about, you know. And
you feel bad for the small market teams that complain,
you know, because they can't they lose their free agents
or whatever. But still they're developing. You know, Tampa Bay's
done it well. The Oakland A's when they were in
Oakland did it well. They developed players. And you can
compete if you if you have the right people in

(28:32):
your organization and you're developing players, you can compete with anybody.
You know.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
I don't want to go.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Out and buy players, that's fine, but you know, to
the people in the organization, as long as it's run right,
then they can make you a contender.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah, I got to know when it was in Fort Lauderdale,
and he had the high school actually named for him
in the Tampa area. Candy and I were there, but
I'll tell you one Don and Vanity. He went to
the system and Brian Cashmon and Joe Torrey said, hey,
you've been developed. He got it. We obviously figure out
what was like to go both boys. I appreciate your
insights on all of that. Rob here in New York.
We'll talk about the bolt thing. We addressed it earlier

(29:09):
and Boom, give me some resoughts on that.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
Well, you know, the with Volti, they put a lot
of pressure on that kid by saying, you know, the
next Derek Jeter, all right, So that put a lot
of pressure on him. And already a market where there's
more pressure than anywhere in baseball, so that really, you know,
that put the pressure on him. And you know, I

(29:31):
hope sometimes that affects a player for for their whole
career or until they get out of that place if
they do so. Right now, I don't know what's gonna
happen with with with Volpi. He's not hitting like they
thought he would hit, and you know, I just don't know.
Warren said, he thinks he's going to stay there for
ten years, and that would be great if he does

(29:52):
develop and and he becomes what they thought he was
going to be. But sometimes they just can't do it
in New York, and if they move somewhere else, the
pressures off and they become an excellent player. So that's
what I feel about Volpie. We have to see, we
have to give it another couple of years after Boom.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Obviously, I like a reference that Warren made about Bob Boom.
I'll tell you there was a point where many thought
he was heading the Detroitment Mickey Wola treat, but none
of that ever played out. So but I'm glad that
you mentioned that Bob Boom go ahead. What are your
thoughts Rob about the Boom Aaron boonm situation.

Speaker 7 (30:27):
Well, if George was still alive, I really don't think
he'd be managing the Yankees because you know George, George
would would have got rid of him by now. How's
not like his father. So I think I don't think
he's going anywhere right now, even though, like you said,
the Yankee fans would love maddingly, but some Yankee fans
would not want to see mavienly manage the Yankees if

(30:49):
he doesn't win, because they're afraid it might tarnish his
Yankee history. So you know, I think Bone'll be there
for a little while longer at least.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Great point, go ahead, George.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
As far as Bulp he goes, yeah, I mean, you
know he has some power. Nineteen homers seventy two RBIs.
There were six or seven Yankees with more homers than
had so it's not a matter of just being in
a slump. And when he hit only two twelve, there's
no wonder why the Yankees are taking a look at
him and seeing if they should continue with him. But

(31:27):
I do think that he tries hard. He's a good player,
solid fundamentals, good defense for the most part. But his
power numbers, you know, like I said, he's a seventh,
he's got six guys seven guys ahead of him in
home run department. Does have some speedy at eighteen steels
this year, I would say keep him at least for
another year, but hey, who knows what the Yankees, they

(31:48):
might do something different. As far as Boone goes, yeah,
I mean I don't see him lasting more than one
more year. And I agree with you that, you know,
if George was still there, he would have been gone
long gone as he as we became accustomed to it,
Billy Martin and all the other managers he fired. But
I think, you know, Aaron's a good guy. He's a

(32:08):
good baseball man. He's got so much respect around the league.
Everybody loves him. But the thing is, you got to
win it all in New York and he hasn't been
able to do it, and he has to bring home
a championship. And I don't think the I think the
leash is pretty short right now. I really do for
him any.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
So, as far as Vopie, he was a rookie back
in twenty twenty three. He was the fifteenth MLB rookie
to record both twenty home runs and twenty stolen bases
in the same season, but he was the thirteenth worst
in strikeouts in the league back in the twenty twenty
three But he also won a Gold Glove Award, becoming

(32:50):
the first Yankee rookie ever to receive the honor at
any position and only.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
The second rookie shortstop to win it.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
So, but that was in twenty twenty three, and let's
face it, he was also injured this year. We forget
that he had a partially torn left quibriam, which played
a part with his performance this year, So we can't
belittle that as far as Aaron Boone. We are seeing

(33:19):
coaches and managers on the shortest strings I think we've
ever seen them. Look at college football, look at you know,
some of the firings that we've had. Their leash has
gotten shorter because the money that we're throwing at these
managers and coaches is tremendous, and we expect results, and
when we don't get results, we're quick to fire him

(33:42):
because we because everybody, especially in the New York market,
expects i mean the Yankees, you expect World Series, you
expect championships. So I would think he's on a very
short leash.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, amazing, how you ring tell football? I'm let you lie,
right because we have more to talk about that in
the summing day. But yeah, college football has definitely proven
that you can have a quick very very very quickly.
And I'm but you ended up bringing that right, Eric, Go.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
Ahead, Well, here's here's the thing with Volpi, though. I
think Volpi just got thrown into a very unfair situation
where everyone expected him to be the next to next
Derek Jeter. That's not something that did Gregoria has had
to face when he when he was the shortstop for
the Yankees. He stepped in right after right after Jeter,
right after Geni left.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Gregorias did.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
But you know, Volpi, given that he was a homegrown
from New Jersey and all that, they expected him to
be in the next Jeter, and I thought that was
a lot to lay on the kid. But for what
it's worth, though, nineteen home runs in seventy yarbi what
isn't a bad year for any stretch of the imagination
at that position. It's just unfortunately though, he's just not
consistent enough now. As far as as far as Boone goes,

(34:51):
you know, I think it's less with I think it
has less to do with Boon some of the Yankees
problems are and it has more to do with Brian Cashman.
Boone can only do so much in that sense, and
the power structure is just a lot different in New
York than anywhere else. And I think I think if
they were to flet Boon go, which you know, next
next year could be it for him. You know, although

(35:13):
we've been saying that for We've been saying that with
Boone for a while now. The one the thing is,
though he'll have a job tomorrow, somebody will hire him.
He's had a lot of success in New York. For
what it's worth, going to the postseason, I can guarantee
you where there's a lot of other teams out there
who are begging for that kind of success to at
least have a taste of a taste of October al

(35:34):
of al of Miami Marlins on a more consistent basis.
But you know, for what it's or even the Pittsburgh
Pirates for that matter, but for what it's worth, though,
you know, it is New York and you have to win.
He's facing the heat right now. I know for a
fact that Rob knows really well that Carlos Bendoza also
is facing the same is facing the same heat that
that we aren't talking enough about just because the Yankees are,

(35:57):
you know, art for what all tensive purposes, the most
hope of the team in baseball, and with that, you're
gonna have a lot of drama.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Big stuff. Well, with all due respect Aaron Boom, I
don't feel the problems were totally on him today yet
because obviously, Warren something else. They need to play better defense.
Dere jeezs doing mission the same thing. So I'm glad
he got another year. Will see it happen. Keep in
mind handy one most intelligent baseball mind on the staff
that did they they did keep it Brad Ausmas as well.

(36:28):
So with that said, you know, Brad Austin's is a
great baseball of mine, and I agree with you not
of that. If Aaron Boom gets like, there'll be plenty
of teams. Not kind of hist yes, So let's go
ahead and talk about who's missing. It's a new segment
we started a Warren. I'm glad you're on this show
for list that you mentioned the San Diego Bodray. So
here we go. Okay, we're gonna talk about outfielders. Fernando

(36:50):
Tosi's junior, Dave Winfield, Tony Gwyn third. Basically you have
Nanny Mitchell, shortstop, Gary Templeton, second base, Jake Crodsworth first,
Dase adrians Go Jalla, starting pitcher, Jake Peevee, right handed
relief pitcher, Trevor Hoffman, catcher Bernito san diiago, designated hitter

(37:10):
Ken Kimanity and manager Bruce Lot. We'll start with you.
Who's missing.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Oh that's a good question. Oh boy, you know that's
uh well, I could think of a left handed starting
pitcher back Randy Jones. Okay, yeah, when h yeah, you
mean Randy Jones, right, yes, Randy Jones. Yeah. The the

(37:37):
year before I got to the Phillies, before my rookie
year in seventy six, Jim Cotton Randy Jones matched up
in uh San Diego and our bullpen coach was Johnny
Oates at the time, and Johnny said that they that
game was so fast. They played in like an hour
and thirty nine minutes. He said it wasn't even dark
by the time the game was over. Oh, you know,

(37:57):
so he was. Randy Jones had some great, great years.
Another one for for the Padres, gay Lord Perry Cy
Young Award winner. They're for Cy Young Warner Award winner.
So the Padres have had some great, great talent, you know,
and it's and i'd like to see him now. I
spend a lot of time in San Diego, and uh,

(38:17):
they're fun to watch, you know. They're they're competitive, and
they've shored up their pitching. They've they've got good teams,
and those guys the people you talk about, you know,
for Tanda, Fernando Tatist Junior won a Gold Glove this
year for right fielder. Uh So they're you know, they're good.
They and they've had a lot of talent to the years.
You know. Dave Winfield was a Hall of Famer, Tony

(38:39):
Glen's a Hall of Famer. The majority of the people
that you named, Scott were Hall of Fame players. You know,
they've they've had quite a run and quite a great
great legacy there in San Diego.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Great suff Warren, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (38:52):
Ron Willie McCovey was a pod dream. We talked about
last week on my show, as you know, I had
John Diaquisto on and he talked about when he played
for the Padres and everybody on that team. And I
was going to say Randy Jones also. So those are
my two.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Hey, George, what about Dick Williams. Dick Williams was the
manager of the Padres of course when they played the
Tigers in the nineteen eighty four World Series. He had
some pretty good years there. Another one and he's probably
a little further down though, Scott. Phil Nevin. Phil Nevin
was spent the majority of his time in San Diego,

(39:39):
and of course he has been both a coach and
a former player and infielder Phil Nevian had a decent career.
One All Star Game he only made, but still he
was pretty good at the time. So those would be
my two.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Scott all right too, Okay, you'll come up with a million?

Speaker 5 (39:57):
Did you say did you say Trevor hoff Man?

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah? I did.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
Okay, did you say to yeah, woy you got Dave
Winfield down there, and you got all the ones that
I was gonna say, you're.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Well, you're case. You want to say, who's not missing?

Speaker 5 (40:23):
Okay, let's see who's not missing?

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Goose Gossage, Yes, there you go.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
I was gonna say sorry, Erica had a lot more thinking,
but okay, Fertile Alamar, there you got your I am
all right, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (40:43):
Eric Kevin Kevin Brown, the ace of the ninety and
then also Jake Peevey.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Oh yeah, I think we did mention him, but we'll
do it.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
Then okay, bro he Okay, Heath fell Or brought Giles.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Okay, that's turn enough. Well I'll tell you my choices.
Since I was at the very last their im will
just say that I was thinking about Pick Williams. Randy
Johnson came to mind in Risconsince. Of course I have
other stories of mine with Wrisconsin. But he didn't want
to accept my interview. And I said, he either you

(41:22):
give me better than what you're gonna give me, or
I'm gonna give you more than you never thought you'd
ever say it. And he got the He did the
interview and everything went fine. But you know, there was
one of those situations. Lord, you know we as reported
that a job to do, decided to not do. Give
you a chance. He had to be jerk versus jerk.

(41:43):
We had a hirk versus a jerk, and Donson gave
me what I needed. I shook his aunt thinks wasn't
that bad. He was a little rough on the outside,
but once you got to know him, he was a two.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Right, right. He was a nice guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he had a grufford sterrier, but yeah he was a sweetheart.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Yeah he is. I mean, you know he dealt with
that like me, who has no tact with the whatever
at that age. So you know, he had a fat bone.
I had a was a fast talker. As a matter
of the Battle of the Fast and who it was
those people that understand what that analogy is, don't worry,
can't He goes it better than anyone. So we're gonna
go to our first non sports topic of the night.

(42:24):
We like to do this. Have a lot more to come,
but our non sports topic comes from the motors. Say that,
y car, I don't know if you've ever seen one
leads and whose you ever get the floor again to
see one of them? But an alligator was spotted on
Belle Isle according to the d n R. The gator
hasn't been spotted my staff, but a photo of an

(42:45):
alligator posted to social media, including a geo location data
from Bell Island. But anything of that Warren and alligator.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Yeah. I used to play golf all the time in Florida.
I saw my share a lot of alligators. They were
always out sunning on the fairway. So yeah, that's that's
that is that's shocking though, that's very surprising.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Wow, that's why I come up with these a little topics.
Well you don't think that, you know, you know, don't worry,
I got another one right up your alley. I like
to do a lot of stuff on the ice of
the Warren. So when I get done with you, have
you ever been an Iceland before? Warren?

Speaker 2 (43:25):
No?

Speaker 1 (43:25):
I have not. No, you're beautiful. Yeah, I know you're
perfect for this show. Oh my god, I call me
icel guyn't want to learn? All right? Rob? What do
you think about it? Alan? All right, So so that's
your take an alligator and machine. You think that's a
bit perfect for Warren?

Speaker 2 (43:44):
Yeah, yeah, that is?

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Yeah? Well Rob, what do you think.

Speaker 7 (43:49):
I think that the alligator didn't realize that Scott MotorCity
mad Mouth was in Florida and he went to Detroit
to see him.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
All right? Like that. I'll tell you one thing though,
One thing you don't want me I don't like to
do is go fishing, because every time I try to think,
fishers don't run away. And I'm talking too loud so
that not anybody out here willdever be surprised anyway.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
So George, well, yeah, it was. It made all the
headlines here in Detroit, the cars, and.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
It was it was not why do you remember it?

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah when it happened. Yeah, and it's not
a full grown one. It was a it was a
small alligator. It wasn't a huge one, but still, I
don't know if they ever found out who put it
there or how it got there, but they finally were
able to catch it. A couple of guys were just
doing some walking or jogging or whatever. They ended up

(44:45):
being the ones that caught it and turned it over
to the Natural Resources Department of Research Natural Resources. But
I'm telling you, it is so weird. It is so
weird to see a headlight like that up here at Bellisle,
our famous island that the city owns, it operates. Uh,
it was just so weird. I'm glad you brought that up, Scott.

(45:05):
That's a great story.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Oh why not, Hey, listen, I got to come up
with some Detroit stuff to keep it. Keep you in
this thing. Someone had your name written all over and
I think no time to pull out in my pocket.
But now, all right, Candy. We see a lot of them,
but I don't think I'll ever see one they try
and know one. Only know how he got there. What
you're talking about? This crazy story?

Speaker 4 (45:25):
Can't well he was three feet long, just to be
be clear, So yes, he was not full blown. It
does not surprise me anymore because so many people have
unusual weird.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
Pets these days.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
They want to, you know, they for some reason they
think some of these animals that should really only be
in the wild can be a pet and be tamed
or whatever. I don't know, but that's what they're thinking,
is that it was someone had brought him as a
pet and that he was released. You know, I'm not

(46:03):
surprised again, like I said, because so many people you
hear of all these different people bringing different animals to
different countries that they're not supposed to and having them
as pets.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
And it doesn't make sense. But to each its own.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
All right, Eric, I mean once, I've seen him before
in Florida. I've also saw I also remember I was
in a car in Louisiana and they had to stop
because the gator was literally crossing the road and it
was like it was it was a mammoth, let me
tell you. And I've never felt so culturally shocked in
my life. But but it's uh, but yeah, I mean
it's pretty wild though at Michigan of all places. I

(46:40):
can't imagine how I feel if I if I ever
saw one up there.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Okay, well, just what I used to travel road in Florida,
to Alligator Alley, But seventy five got built, remember that one, Warren? Right, yes, sir,
they didn't even have fences back then. Right, going across
the road, right, I just I slow with my brights
on to make sure I didn't rain any Alligator Alley people.

(47:05):
But now we're talking about alligators on bell Aisle. All right, Well,
I not kidding. Before we go to the station break,
we're going to edge in the Cape Warren Brewster on Iceland.
And here is another non before we go back to
the batol. Are you ready for war?

Speaker 2 (47:18):
All right?

Speaker 1 (47:19):
All right? Here we go non forts, another second non
for topic of the night and closed. There's an official
ELF negotiator, And I said elf negotiator people for road
construction projects. An ELF negotiator. No, he won't be representing
Terrek School or any of the type price free agents.

(47:42):
But we're talking about ELF negotiator or the road construction project.
Where are you talking about an ELF negotiator?

Speaker 2 (47:50):
That's crazy I've never heard.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Now we'll welcome to one hundred and eighth. This is
baseball dog because it's gotten crazy. This is the last
time you hear here. But can't give you something different, right, Well,
that's right. Don't tell me what you think about anough negotiator.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Oh jeez, that's crazy. I don't know where to start
with that one.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
You know, generally people don't know where to start with
that one. But that's okay. Go up there and check
them out. That tree, run into them, I ran in
all kinds of things that didn't talk. I still talk
with him. That boy when we put it on camera
made it's pretty surreal. So just you know, when it
comes to road construction, you have an out negotiator out
there doing it for you. That's why the roads are
what they are. I don't know. I don't think I

(48:35):
ever rented a car out and I said, that's okay,
someplace in the world need to drive, I'll let them
do it for me. So all right, Rob, who's.

Speaker 7 (48:44):
He negotiating with Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer?

Speaker 1 (48:48):
I mean, we all need doing Robin negotiating for road
construction projects. Read into that and that's all we could go.

Speaker 7 (49:00):
So it was a new Will Farrow movie.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
That's exactly so the keyword on this show. But to
you and Warren and I have to hashag the work
crazy because you guys thought it was crazy. And now
I'll play a tag on it, right at negotiator.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Yeah yeah, that's something. Uh yeah, I guess he's a
mediator between the human beings, it says, and the UH
and the elves UH in trying to prevent conflict on
these roads that they're designing or building constructing, like you said,
but it sure is different. You only think of elves
if you think about the North Pole and obviously all

(49:38):
the traditions of Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas and whatever
you want to call them, Chris Kringle, But uh yeah,
these elves are real, man, They're real, like Scott said,
and they're they're to negotiate to make sure that the
roads are the right way. It's crazy, it's crazy, but
it's also funny.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
I love it awesome. Today You've been on a role
for all the right reasons. The last few shows. I
got to do is keep it up, all right, Candy,
go ahead. Maybe everybody thinks I'm crazy, this is crazy.
I don't know I'm crazy, but what do you think?

Speaker 4 (50:13):
In Iceland, elf negotiators are individuals who claim to communicate
with elves or hidden people to mediate land use conflicts.
Often involving construction projects. These individuals act as intermediaries, consulting
with the invisible inhabitants of rocks hills or other natural

(50:35):
landmarks to ensure projects proceed without causing offense. While often
viewed through the lens of tourism and popular culture, this
practice reflects a respect for Icelandic folklore and tradition, even
if not everyone believes in the existence of elves.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
There you have it crazy, But she gave you some information.
That's good enough. Eric, you want to chime in on
this one here before we go to the station break.

baseball after I break up the show a little with

(54:20):
a couple of nine. Fourth son and one of the
ones we're gonna do it with is on is we're
going to talk about Nolan Ryan. We have a series
comparing Nolan Ryan E tro O Suzuki. Let me say
we talk about statistics for both of the eland. Know, Rob,
don't worry, Rob, I'll make sure you get your fair
share of HOD. You're never going to be without one
of those topics, man. But the best part about Rob
is they're dwddling down a little bit and I'll find

(54:43):
something else. I'll make sure your head is turning. But
on June fourteen, nineteen seventy four, Nolan Ryan threw two
hundred and thirty five pitches over thirteen innings, he struck
out nineteen batters of walk ten, getting a no decision
in a fifteen inning Angels victory over the Boston Red Sox.
What are your thoughts about that accomplishment, Lauren.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Well, I was fortunate enough. I never did to get
the face each of Rosuzuki, but I did get to
hit off Nolan Ryan one time.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Well, did you really?

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (55:16):
I did, And he walked on the segments made for
you then, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
He walked me on five pitches.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
I came into the I came into the batter's box
and Ernie Witt was his catcher, and I tapped Ernie
on Shan Guard and said, I'm just going to stand
here and listen, and oh my god, what a sound.
I mean, I've never heard anything like it. It just hit.
The ball just exploded in his glove. Yeah, And it
was the only h I walked. And then it was

(55:43):
the only run I scored in my career. I scored
one run in my career. But he was, you know
what a phenomenal talent. In fact, he was pitching in
Game five in the nineteen eighty the nineteen eighty Playoffs,
and he had a three run lead going into the
eighth inning was in at that time of his career,
was one hundred and five and two lifetime. And we

(56:05):
came back and uh, Pete told Larry Bow. Lawry Bow
was leading off the inning, and Pete said, if you
get on, we're going to win this game. And sure enough,
Boa gets on and and all hell broke loose. We
scored five runs at inning, went up by two runs,
and then they came back to the next inning and
tied it, and then we eventually won an eleven innings.

(56:26):
But you know, it was fun to watch he was.
I loved watching Nolan Ryan. You know, we and everybody,
you know, everybody in the clubhouse lit up when he
was going to pitch. You know, everybody wanted to watch
because he was special, great stuff.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
I love hearing the story from you, don't you guys
like Harry Look at everybody you're on Monday nights. I
have a dream team come up there talking about it.
Don't worry, you're back. You're back better than ever. All right, Ron,
I know you're you get to said he with Nolan Ryan.
You're get it again.

Speaker 7 (57:00):
Listen, that's never gonna happen again, right, so at least
we're lucky enough. I've seen Nolan Ryan Titch. I was
lucky enough to see him Titch, you know live, so
I you know, I can't say anything. The Mets did
trade him when he was wild. I understand that, but

(57:21):
still never never, never got over that one.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
And you can say it a few more times because
and I'll let you tall it. Oh Rob, you know
this is a static character. We got here with my Roscar,
that's for sure. I mean. But his partner sidekick, Chris,
you know he Chris is a good guy. I just
when I put him on the Sports and Change Wednesday,
he was overwhelmed by that wild act. They can't he

(57:47):
won't tell you. Well if Scott have up and Bagga
trit nothing against Chris. He was dealing with a wild
wild MotorCity men mouthing poor Chris. I love him, I
really do.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Chris.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
If you're watching you listening, I love you. But the
Sports Exchange on Wednesday night wild is that. Don't worry
worry about I put you on that show. I'll tell
you they'll all go nuts there. That's one that's not
a country club that I got all types of places
to put you. Warn it as often as you want
to come on that, all right, You're gonna whole word
you go, all right about Ryan.

Speaker 3 (58:18):
Nolan Ryan unbelievable. I mean those amount of innings, those
amount of the pitch is thrown. This guy is incredible.
He was a working machine. And the no hitters that
he threw, uh, just an unbelievable picture of all time.
And you won't see that again, of course not. You know,
we don't even have guys that are finishing a finishing
off a no header for that matter, let it, let

(58:39):
alone going into extra innings or something like that. I mean,
you know, this guy was uh, he was just fantastic.
You know, I know that the fans in Detroit didn't
want him to come because they knew they were in
for trouble whenever he pitched against Detroit in the American League.
So but yeah, those numbers are astonishing, Scott. I mean
that number of innings and pitches and he just rolled

(59:03):
right with it. Incredible arm, incredible athlete.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
I mean again, when I think about that particular game
that he had, I'm looking this over there. You're talking
about what thirteen all right?

Speaker 4 (59:21):
You know, I've I've said many different stats about Nolan Ryan,
but there's a couple that I haven't put out there.
So he played for twenty seven seasons, more than anybody else.
One of the things that struck me is Ryan's lengthy
career spanned generations, as he struck out seven pairs of

(59:47):
father and sons. Oh my gosh, another major League record.
He also played during the administration of seven different presidents, Thomson,
Richard Mixon, Gerald For Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush,
and Bill Clinton.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Just remember one thing, Candy, when you hashtagds this show,
you better include those presidents that I'm not writing them down.
You're gonna remember you write down these presidents because you're
gonna ashag him. Okay, I got it, Okay, I got
more head coming on the way with Nolan Ryan. But
I'll give you those two. Okay, great stuff. She's quick studying.

(01:00:35):
Think about it. I had the professor and people on earlier,
Steve Roy Schellow's phenomenal. I have another pupil of mind
that comes on money. Many of these shows that people
think I'm brain Washington be like me. No, she's bay
for here and and nicer than I am. All Right,
I told you, all right, Derek Nolan Ryan.

Speaker 6 (01:00:53):
Well, I mean he's the greatest. I mean, he's the
great He's the greatest picture of all time. He's the
only guy who could probably do probably even pills to
even has even had to hold the candle to Walter Johnson.
But you know, I mean, when you face them, you
really had to buckle up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Nice Okay, great stuff. Well, Nolan Ryan, why do I
keep doing these segments on them? Because I know how
good he is, and I know when he got in
the Hall of Fame. He got in with ninety eight
ninety nine percent of the ballot. He got in in
the nineties. So that's why I know when you get
to hear him.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
Everything, two point seven nine percent of the vote vote
four hundred and ninety one out of four ninety seven.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
What was it again, ninety eight.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Point seven nine percent of the.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Vote, ninety eight point seven. That's all you got to say.
That's good enough. I don't pull any deeper in the
decimals than that, okay, ninety I don't like it's not
like a radio station. That's good enough, all right, when
it comes to decimals and me writing things down and
AI and talking in these topics and that's just not
my bag. I'm just too old school, right, Warren, you know,
get into the technology stuff for a while.

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
Yeah, it's got to make it really easy for you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
Six votes unanimous better, that's what I need.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Voters? What was wrong with those other six voters?

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
Yeah? You know there's a food named that from Warren.
You know what it is. I couldn't guess nobody was
because again we used crazy scrambled eggs. People scrambled eggs?
Do you think that was scrambled? And he did again.
And let's talk about each because he trill Suzuki sealed

(01:02:33):
in the first and pat of his career. And I'll
tell you one thing, and and let's see, I'm gonna
go over this again because there's a lot of information.
I want to make sure. He got sealed in the
first bet of his career, his third career. Obviously he began,
let's see on April fourth, two thousand and one. Let's

(01:02:56):
think his average of over three ten and that wage
remained over three hundred for the rest of his career.
So you talk about him singing in the first event
and his of his third career, let's us talk about
each earl. Suzuki you know who ended up playing nineteen
years Warren. This guy's unbelievable, right, great hitter, you know,

(01:03:17):
and could play could play defense too. You know, that's
the one thing when I got to the big leagues,
I was surprised. You know, the guys could hit, but
their defense was just as good as their hitting.

Speaker 6 (01:03:25):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
It's a guy like Suzuki. He just he had a
great career, you know, just a phenomenal player, you know,
just he could do it all. Could run, could throw,
could hit. Didn't hit with a lot of power, but
he could if he needed to. You know, it just
did whatever the situation dictated. He could do just about
anything with.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
The bat than point, and you're talking about the third
curreder being major league baseball. Oh my goodness. We not
only knows if he had played it entirely for m right.

Speaker 7 (01:03:56):
Yeah, that's that's what I say every week. Imagine if
he just laid his whole career in the major leagues
instead of Japan, it would have been unbelievable. And I'll
close out with the same thing I close out with
every week. Who is that one voter?

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
I know, that's okay, that's your trademark, that's saying, well,
nobody's gonna go out there and take that away. You
earned that one put out there. Really, we'll see what
all the revenues come from New York MLB talking on there,
say who is that voter? Rob Ross is gonna trademark
and I'm gonna pat him on the back, and they
go ahead. I don't want it to share this, all right,
fay stuff, Rob, I'll be that's moral support now, Okay.

(01:04:31):
Scrabbled Edge naturally have warrants every now and then. We
can talk to once in a while when a certain
group of individuals are no longer in and they're not anymore,
but we'll talk food once in a while if it's
meant in a context relatable to the subject. Go ahead, George.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Yeah, each Row is just a fantastic rule model for
young guys and ladies as well that I want to
enter baseball or softball for that matter. But you know,
and then, of course, the Asian community obviously fell in
love with him. I'll never forget whenever he came into
the ballparks. You had additional media credential requests, and Scott

(01:05:09):
remembers this that the Asian media turned out in large
numbers wherever I tru went. Obviously in Seattle he had
the most media attention when it started his career, but
then the other cities too that he appeared in, there
was just a tremendous request. And you know some old
writers are broadcasters by oh man, look at all those
extra people here. Well, No, what you're doing is you're

(01:05:32):
expanding the sport. You're making it a better sport. For
it's always been a worldwide sport in my eyes, but
you're making it more. The following even greater because of
Itch Roll and what he did was was just unbelievable
his career and then, like I said, the attention he
and the new fans he brought to the American form
of baseball was just over the top.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
So he actually beat Nolan Ryan when he when he
played in MLB and Japan, he actually played for twenty
eight seasons as opposed to Nolan's twenty seven.

Speaker 5 (01:06:09):
He actually retired when he was.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
Forty five years old.

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
He not only was he one of.

Speaker 4 (01:06:16):
The greatest hitters, he was one of the greatest.

Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
Leadoff hitters too, and that made a big.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
Difference because that helped spark his team because anytime that
first batter gets on base and stuff like that. It
sparks Uh sparks the rest of the team to follow suit.
Just one of the greatest contact hitters. And yes, Rob
only missed a one voter didn't want to put him.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
In, and he is.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
He is actually in both the MLB's Hall of Fame
and Japan's Hall of Fame as well.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
So, George, you want to talk about the man for
agent media want to go to ten years on? Luckily
on my buddy Tim to the La Angels was my
ally I got in. But show heyl Tani command a
lot of that too. I'll never forget how many Japanese
people I saw over at the at a much smaller
stadium compared with they having big league stadium worn. I'm
just telling this. You talk about a circ detect Ever

(01:07:15):
been in that facility? Intent? Yeah? That were you gonna
put these people? Tim gave me a clubhouse pants too.
I mean Tim Meads one of the greatest people in
the sport of baseball. You ever heard of Tim Meade?
Anybody knows thinking about Tim me ten very dear friend

(01:07:36):
of mine, on the nicest people I've ever dealt. But George,
you know I care about all your old school writers
back up in Detroit. Don't make a lick of difference.
The only one wortht anything at the time. Gage to
me otherwise, arrestoll realize that we have to deal with
on the road all the way out here, that's for sure, Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
Eric, I mean it, Chiro is like, you Knowiro transcended
the game. And if you know, he transcends the game.
If you want, if you think Otani's doing that now,
you know I Chiro is the one who made it
possible for Otani. I mean they have Otani all over
Japan now, the which in Tokyo, which you know, in

(01:08:12):
the part of town which is basically basically similar to
Times Square they have, you know, that was Ichiro before
they started putting Otani posters up there.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
Okay, nice stuff. Okay, let's talk about Blake's Now is
the fourth pattern postseason history to face the minimum through
eight innings. The first one to do so was Back
and do so since nineteen fifty six. But Blake Snell's
numbers are unbelievable when you talk about him. He did
it in the twenty twenty five NLC HAS Game one.

(01:08:42):
And we'll also talk about nineteen fifty six, you had
Don Laarson in the World Series, and of course the
perfect game. He had a perfect game in a nineteen
fourteen World Series game too. Bill James ends up going
in that particular game ninth. I think it was ninth

(01:09:03):
in the World Series Game one. Rather it was nineteen
hitters there and in the World Series. And of course
you can't forget about Chief Penders. So what are your
thoughts about what Blake Snell has accomplished?

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Warrened, He's been a great pitcher. You know, he's had
a great career. He's still in the you know, he's
still got in the he's in the prime of his career.
He last year had never thrown past had never thrown
more than seven innings in a game, and he pished
a no hitter for the Giants. It happened to be
my youngest son's birthday, and he pished a no hitter. Yeah,

(01:09:40):
on my youngest son's birthday. We were at a at
a moose lodge and we were all watching the game,
and you know, they made a big point out he's
never gone past the seventh. He got through the eighth,
he still had the no hitter going. Send him out there,
and he had a nice easy one, two, three, ninth
and ended up pitching a no hitter. And yeah, and
so I started to rece his career. You know, he

(01:10:01):
had some great years at Tampa Bay and then I
can't remember where he went after that. And then he
came to the Giants and for one year, and now
he's with the Dodgers and he's had, you know, phenomenal career.
He's he's done. He was with the Padres, That's who
it was, right, Yeah, he was with the Padres and

(01:10:22):
had some great years there, you know, but was you know,
never got past the seventh inning, but was as consistent
for those seven innings as you could be. And that's
what today with all the computers and all the analytics
that they do, they show where they hitters. The third
time around, fourth time around, the starting pitchers, you know,

(01:10:43):
give up their They hitters hit like three fifteen, three twenty,
and the fourth time around they hit like four hundred,
so they pulled, you know, they man, you've got your
guys in the bullpen that are going to put the seventh, eighth,
and ninth innings. So the game structure totally different. But boy,
as far as what he's done. When he's healthy, he's
as good as anybody in the game today.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
We'll think about it. Tampa, Kevy Cash pulled him prematurely
in the game, Tampa, Gay Rain, so he's mad about that.
So you know he resign him for sure. And obviously
Ghost place like the Dot pretty good run in sant Ago, Bill,
he got the Rodgers. That's where the hardware started coming in.
Power to Blake's now to be able to get that right, right, Rob.

Speaker 7 (01:11:26):
Yeah, Well, you want to know he.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Had.

Speaker 7 (01:11:30):
He had a great World Series and he did it well.
Looking he looked exhausted to me every time they they
showed him on the mound. If you if you looked
at his face, he looked exhausted. But yet he had
enough where.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
He just did what he had to do.

Speaker 7 (01:11:47):
And that's a great figure. Let me tell you a
great performance, George.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
Yeah, I've always liked him too, as uh. You know,
you're going back to the Tampa days and he did
win twenty one games that year and nineteen twenty eighteen,
and like you said, Scott, they couldn't hang on to
him of course, and then San Diego and now he's
the Giants again. And now He's another West Coast team,
the Dodgers, and what a great team he's on right now.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
I like him.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
He's a good, hard nosed player, He's got a lot
of stamina, and just hope to see him perform years
to come. I mean, he's he's got hey, he's got
a huge contract, and I'm sure the Dodgers are gonna
keep him as long as they can. I mean, he's
a great pitcher, and I think that Snell has done
a terrific job in his career so far.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Right's not charge candy.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
On November thirtieth, twenty twenty four, Snell signed a five
year contract worth one hundred and eighty two million dollars
with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which included a fifty two
million dollars signing bonus and a conditional ten million dollars

(01:13:00):
option for twenty thirty.

Speaker 5 (01:13:04):
He was lights out against.

Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
The Brewers in the you know, in that series as
well as let's be honest, the starting pitchers for the
Dodgers were lights out in the playoffs. You know, there
was a couple other ones that did complete games. They

(01:13:31):
have an awesome starting pitching and that's what they relied
on even in Game seven. I mean how many how
many teams would have put out all their starting pitchers
in a game as opposed to putting out relievers in games.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
Yeah, pretty impressive, Eric.

Speaker 6 (01:13:50):
I mean, you know, Snow had this reputation though for
just being a five and fly guy, which he would
be able to go five in max for the most part.
I mean occasionally he'd go he'd go six, but he'd
be a five and fly guy where he would just
leave the game. Now he's figured out how to go
deeper in the ball games. And I think also what
help helped him was when he got to the playoffs,
he was a lot more fresher than the average pitcher
though because he was he was hurt for most of

(01:14:12):
the year, so he kind of had that working for
him as well. But he did have but he but
he did come up when it mattered for the Dodgers
so well.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
He was definitely money pitcher. And when you put him
in the environment with the Dodgers got hitters, you know,
Dave Roberts and you have that bullpen, there's no way
he was going to lose. And Tampa. Keep in mind,
Andrew Friedman, obviously we used to work for him but
Andrew Freeman's done a will a job with the Dodgers.
Another five more copets to get, but we're rolling along
really nicely. So the Mets are hiring Tie Korea as

(01:14:40):
their new bench coach. He held the same role with
the Giants in twenty twenty three, twenty to twenty three,
twenty twenty to twenty three, Play three, I don't a
ton of tide there twenty twenty to twenty twenty three.
Most recently served as the Cleveland Guardians major League field
coordinator and director of defense and bays fronting. He gave

(01:15:01):
man what youre talks about the move Warren.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Well, I like it. You know, I think he's a
he's a baseball man. He has a lot to give.
He's you know, he's been around the game as a player,
and not only that, and then he knows the game
and he's he's outstanding. I thought he did a great
job with the Giants. They were contenders, uh the majority
of the time they were that he was there was
it was a short time, but I thought he did

(01:15:26):
a good job with the Giants. I paid attention a
lot of attention to the Giants in those days, and
I really like him. I thought he's a great baseball
man so far, A little rob.

Speaker 7 (01:15:38):
Yeah, he he was good with the Giants in that position,
and then, like you said, with with the Guardian. So
we'll we'll have to see how it is. You know,
he didn't play, and he didn't play in the majors.
But there's a there's a trend now going where where
teams are hiring people who have not played professional ball,

(01:16:00):
you know, just college or whatever. So you know what,
I want to see what he brings to the Mets, George.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
Well, yeah, I don't know much about him. I just
know that, you know, the hitting instructors now, they got
a tough job. I mean, so many of these banners
wanted to shoot for the fences all the time, and
you know, and they obviously strike out so damn much.
But the fact of the matter is is that he's
getting a good start. He's getting going with a great

(01:16:28):
team the Mets that need a lot of help and
obviously trying to challenge for the World Series in twenty
twenty six. And like you said, Warren, I mean, he
had some good, good days over there with the Giants too,
so he does come with a good reputation and it's well,
I tell you they're worth their weight in goal if
you can get yourself a good hitting instructor too for
your ball club, no question.

Speaker 4 (01:16:52):
Let's face it, the Metts had such a payroll that
they need to get more people in there because they
need they want to have the success that they do
didn't have this year, and so we try whatever they
can to get baseball minds in them to help them out.

Speaker 6 (01:17:09):
Eric, I was gonna say the Mets. The Mets seemingly
need help. It have needed help every year, everywhere, every
year since I've been born.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:17:19):
But you know, here's the thing. Sterns. Stearns made the
move for for one reason.

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

Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
It's it's a you know, Mandy Mendy. Mendy didn't make
the move. Stearns did because he knows that Mendy's Mendy's
on the hot seat.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:17:31):
I think, really think Sterns believes this guy can manage.
So that's why he put him on the bench to
begin with. Now, if things go south again for the
for the Mets, I really think Corre is going to
be the next guy up.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Interesting point, Hey, but cetern pulling the shots? Are we
looking at Mendoz. That's a great point, Eric, I really
like it all right. Latin America, Rold Junior was named
a twenty twenty five a l C S M v P.
I'm not sure if it was heartbreak and he lost
them the World Series in some games, but he did
get his contract extension, so you can rest assure he'll

(01:18:05):
be hungry in twenty twenty six. So when we talk
about Lad Junior Warren, it's good that he was able
to settle his contract thing earlier is what he was
able to do. And now he's the face of the
franchise in Canna, fake or a country. So what are
your thoughts about with the impact of this World Series losses?
And of course no guarantee Bola she's gonna be back

(01:18:28):
next year either. Maerrero as another animal.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
Right right, Well, you know he's going to be the
face of the franchise for years to come, and he's
a great player. He's proven himself. You know a lot
of times guys signed big contracts and they put a
lot of pressure on themselves and they don't produce. You know,
they'll they'll go through a period or adjustment period where
they don't produce as much as they did to sign

(01:18:52):
that to warrant that big contract. But he's obviously he's
proven that he was worth every dime that they've given
him or they're going to continue to give him in
the future. He's a great player, you know, his h
The one thing he'll have to do is keep himself
in shape. You know, it's his weight could be an
issue as time goes on, but you know that's up

(01:19:14):
to him. And you know, and he comes from great,
great baseball background. You know, his father was a great player,
was a great hitter. You know, and the apple doesn't
fall far from the tree obviously with that family.

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
Excellent point.

Speaker 7 (01:19:29):
Sorry, Ron, Yeah, I said it. You know I said
it a bunch of times before. That's when the Blue
Jays turned the season around. Once they settled that contract,
it wasn't hanging over them. They had to do it,
and they did it pretty fast, so we didn't have
to hear in August, September and October, where is Laddie going?

(01:19:51):
Where's Laddie going? We know where he is and that's
where he wants to be. And you know what, he's
hungry now. He felt he almost he gained some close,
so close, so he's going to lead that team. Toronto
is going to be good for years to come.

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
I think, Well, I mean, the guy shows you love
the city wearing in Toronto maple. He's jersey inside of
Rogers Center, so I mean, and he's acclimated to the
Toronto sports team. That's what I mean. Nothing against the
leaf for original six franchise with a lot of tradition,
albeit they haven't one anything a title since sixty seven.
I like the Leaves, I love everything of him. But
he shows you, Hey, you know, he knows. He was smart.

(01:20:30):
He knew that he could really own Toronto if he
wanted to, if they embraced him, and he stayed and
he took advantage of that. More power to him towards
go ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
Yeah. I know when there was talk about him and
maybe they were going to not sign him and move
him somewhere else, I thought, Wow, don't do Toronto. Shouldn't
do that, because you're right, he's got so much talent,
so much ability at the plate, and uh, he loves
the sport. You could tell he's having a good time.
And I know it took some years, so many years

(01:20:59):
obviously for Toronto to get it, get get their act
together and get to the series. But he is such
a leader of that team and to see him and
knowing his father was, you know, the great player that
he was too. It was always great stories lines there
in the World Series, but that was one of the
ones I really liked.

Speaker 6 (01:21:19):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
Yeah, he loves the city. They love him, and it's
a it's a it's a good marriage there, Candy.

Speaker 4 (01:21:27):
To start the twenty twenty five postseason, he hit a
leadoff home run in game run Game one, and he
hit his first playoff Grand Slam in Game two of
the Al Division Series against the Yankees, which was the
first playoff Grand Slam in Toronto Blue Jay's history. It
also placed Guerrero and his father, Vlad Guerrero, as the

(01:21:51):
only father son duo in both to both hit Grand
Slams in postseason play in Major League history.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
That's a great stand talk about Guerrero Senior and junior.
That's a really great static for pulling out. All right,
go ahead, and.

Speaker 6 (01:22:09):
Eric, Well here's the here's well, glad Flat's familiar with Canada.
He was born there, and you know he was born
in Montreal because his dad is an exposed legend there.
So it's not like he he didn't know about it,
so you know, there's there's plenty of there's plenty of
knowledge there. But in the playoffs, you know, despite having
kind of a career, a little year in our in

(01:22:29):
RBIs which he only had eighty four, this year, the
guy in the postseason, the guy looked at the best
he's been since that, since his crazy rookie year when
he had forty eight RBI or exculd be forty eight
home runs. You know, he's uh, but you know that
now with the contract settled, you know he's hungary. You
know he's I think now with the contract being settled,

(01:22:49):
because originally I thought he'd leave, I think now we'll
be able to see the full, the full potential of
what he can do next.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
Year, no question, great points the way around. Yeah, Mary
Guerrero Junior, we'll own Toronto if he hadn't already. And
for all those individuals that wonder about to Jays, they
have a great feature and look forward to see him
out and duneed later on this spring for sure, hard
to believe. The free training will be back in February
and we're approaching Thanksgiving. Surreal stuff, all right, Three more

(01:23:17):
tips I want to get to and we're doing really,
really well on time. What would be more embarrassing the
Tiger's blowing a fifteen and a half game lead for
a division opponent or the Maximus the postseason with a
three hundred and forty million dollars payroll. All right, Warren,
you get your first crack at this one. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
I also do a show with a gentleman named Todd Carter,
and he's a huge Detroit Tiger Stan he grew up
in Flint, Michigan. So I followed the Tigers all this season,
you know, And I told him middle of August, it's over.
It's a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
They got a.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Fifteen half, fifteen and a half game lead over in
Cleveland and fourteen and a half over Minnesota Kansas City.
It's over. You know, they're never going to catch them.
And we watched every week as the division lead dwindled.
And he's with about the middle of September, he goes,
I'm starting to get worried, And I said, I don't
blame you, you know. Yeah, And it doesn't matter what

(01:24:18):
an organization, how much money they spend on their players,
you've got to have a camaraderie and and you've got
to have, you know, the right pieces. You could spend
a lot of money and not even make the playoffs.
So you know, that's happened, and it happened this year,
and you know it, just the amount of money is

(01:24:39):
totally irrelevant. You've got to have camaraderie. Those guys got
to get along, and you know, I mean, the A's
kind of proved that. The seventies A's kind of proved that.
You know, they were they like to fight, but you know,
when it came to game time, they fought the other
of their opponent, you know. So it's it's what you've
got to have. You've got to have camaraderie. You've got
to be able to pull the game other as a

(01:25:00):
team to win games and to win tight games in
close games.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
You're doing a good job dodging my question now, ok, well,
which would be more embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
Oh, fifteen and a half to me? The fifteen and
a half with that question. You can't blow Yeah, you
can't let a lead like that get away, you know,
And that happened to the sixty four Phillies. They had
like a seven game lead with ten to play and
didn't make the playoffs. In it up in third place,
didn't win a game coming down the stretch because the
manager started using Jim Bunning and Chris short Is there

(01:25:36):
only two starting pitchers, and he burned them out, you know,
and that happens and once you know, for me, I
kind of lived and died with my manager. And if
I saw, especially in the playoffs, I've seen my manager panicking,
I'm just going, oh, what's going on here? You know,
it's been different. We've had a different scenario all season long,

(01:25:57):
and all of a sudden it's playoff time, and all
of a sudden, everybody's panicking. You know. It says you've
got to let the players play and then whatever happens happens.
You can't put pressure on yourself or or your teammates.
You just you know, And that's what happens in games
like that. Pretty soon they go on a streak where
they lose a few games and then they're going, what happened,

(01:26:17):
you know, and they let it, They let it get
away from him, Warren does, that's more embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (01:26:22):
It's losing fifteen and a half game now, Warren, you
don't keep anything with you because yeah, yeah, sure, that's
why we've got along so well because my uncle Warren
Bruser knows I could go out there. I'm telling my uncle,
I don't have an uncle, all right, Uncle Warren, Yeah yeah,
I got a new one that I I'm actual I

(01:26:44):
have an uncle out Warren, my latest uncle. I had
an uncle right now, I have an uncle Warren. All right,
great stuff, But I was giving at least you gave
me the answer that I believe is right. All right, Rob,
go ahead, Uncle Warren Bruser, my latest family. Never them over,
city man must go.

Speaker 7 (01:27:00):
Well, if the Tigers didn't make the postseason, then that
would have been you know, that would have been the answer.
But they did make it, So you know the Mets. Listen,
we know the Mets. Just it was a tale of
two seasons. Right the beginning, the Mets were they were hot,
hottest team in baseball. The end not good at all.

(01:27:22):
We thought they made the right moves that the trade
deadline turned out they didn't. So you know it's the
Mets because the Tigers did make the postseason.

Speaker 3 (01:27:34):
All right, George, you stole my thunder again. Rob, That's
exactly what I was thinking as you were talking Warren,
that Detroit still made the playoffs and they beat the
team that they play that they gave the lead away
to the Cleveland Indians. Guardian, Sorry, and I think the Mets. Yeah,
I think that one because think of it this way, Joe.

(01:27:55):
You're talking about a huge fan base of course that
follow the Mets like every team has its own face.
But they missed out completely. Now that's a situation where
having spent all that money is one thing, but not
being able to reach the Promised Land or the postseason
is another. So at least Detroit did have that satisfaction.
They still didn't get the division title, but they made

(01:28:16):
it into the second round at least. But that's the
way I stand on it.

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
Okay, Canny, I'm gonna say it has to be the
Mets because that payroll was just ridiculous, and then to
not even make the playoffs. Yes, I get flowing a
fifteen game lead, but they still got into the postseason.
And you know, the one thing that's very different between

(01:28:49):
MLB and the other major sports is the salary and
no salary cap and all of that. So I am
gonna say it's embarrassing. Plus you're talking a New York team.
Pressure is always on them. They spend a lot of money.
You expect them to be in the postseason, not necessarily

(01:29:12):
the World Series, but you expect them to at least
make the playoffs to spend that much. But what and
like Warren had said, though, it's about the camaraderie, and
what did that team did the Mets have the camaraderie,
because lets face it, the Brewers have what a third
of the payroll about but yet they look how.

Speaker 5 (01:29:31):
Far they went.

Speaker 6 (01:29:35):
I mean, let's face it, the Tigers, although that was
bad that they blew with the such they blew such
a lead, though they still got into the postseason and
ultimately beat the Cleveland Guardians and actually got into into
the Alds. You know, it wasn't uh you know that
they got you know, even though they didn't get the
whole ham, they still got a scrap. But but yeah,

(01:29:57):
but as far as as far as embarrass goes, I
have to give it to the Mets. You spend all
that money on you and you have a loaded lineup,
and however they however, they don't go. They had plenty
of opportunities to go to the National League. Wasn't that
wasn't that strong? They seemed to be having a mediocre
off against the Cincinnati Reds and they and they didn't go.
You know, but I'd probably say that's more embarrassing because

(01:30:19):
not only did that was that was that a baseball
conversation that became a financial conversation. So talk talk about
talk about double whammies there in the sports in the
non sports world, only the Mets.

Speaker 1 (01:30:32):
Great points eric thinking about the one and so it
was again and they managed to get Pete A. Lonzo
back to one here. And when I was talking to
Carlson Dooza, I have just seem to make it to
the World Series. Who would have ever thought that they
would miss up postseason all together Port Saint Lucy. You know,
I had a great relationship with the meson What's in Florida,
So it's unbelievable. So yeah, I think the Mets Tigers

(01:30:54):
were able to redeem themselves a little bit by playing
the Guardians in the playoffs a little beating themselves much.
That has worked out there, And I think when you
compare her to fifteen and a half person not getting in,
it's a fair argument you can make on both laid
because the Tigers, let's face that, they if it wasn't
for the help of Mike trouton hitting some bonds for
the Angles. The Tigers may be on the outside looking in.

(01:31:15):
They got some early Christmas gift from Mike Trout and
we'll talk about him on late feature shows as well.
All right, two more compers kids do. In August first,
nineteen eighty three, Joe Carter clutched his first hit and
RBI for the Chicago Cubs. Of all places, one that
Blue Jay could have used them the other night, right one.

Speaker 2 (01:31:35):
That's right. Yeah, I was there when he got his
first major league hit.

Speaker 1 (01:31:40):
Well, were you really?

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
Oh, yes, sir, I played for the Cubs in nineteen
eighty three. Oh cool, Yeah, I was there eighty three.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
Whatld that like?

Speaker 6 (01:31:47):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
It was great. You could see he was a great
He was a young kid. He was only twenty one,
twenty two years old at the time, right, And at
that point we were they were Dallas. Screen had taken
over as the GM and he was shuffling players in
and out of there, and he had the opportunity at

(01:32:08):
the end of spring training in nineteen eighty four to
get Gary Matthews and Bob Drnier, so that sent Joe
back to Triple A. He was going to be our
left fielder starting in eighty four. But Dallas was one
of the first guys to use a computer and put
in the computer on AstroTurf for field turf in nineteen

(01:32:29):
eighty three. We were seven and thirty seven. So yeah,
so he you know, we had to go get some outfielders.
It's going to cover some ground. Yeah. I don't know
if you guys remember Leon Durham. He was our first
basement great big Leon Durham. He well, he played center
field for us for a while, so that you know,
the outfielder needed to be retooled, and then Dallas also

(01:32:52):
retooled the pitching staff and then the rest was history.
But Joe Carter was going to be a great talent.
You could see he could play was it was just
he was a young kid, and just Dallas didn't want
to put up a lot of pressure on him and
and let him matur in the minor leagues and then
traded him to Cleveland and that in the Rick Cutcliffe

(01:33:13):
deal at the trading deadline in nineteen eighty four.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
Oh well, that's interesting, So keep in mind in Dallas
Green also wanted to get night baseball over at Ridgley Field.
He was lobbing hard to try.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
To Yes, because we were supposed to host the eighty
four playoffs and we didn't get to host. We were
the road team. We played the first two games in
Chicago because we didn't have lights. We were supposed to
host and have three of the games, but we only
got to have two because we didn't have lights. Yeah,
so it kind of worked as a different advantage for it,
inn't it right? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
Great stuff, I'll tell you that because it was unbelievable. Well,
you're playing days early? Worked out low with what we
got on the table. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:33:55):
Joe Carter, of course, he was great, and Toronto could
have used him to hit another home run in a
Game six, you know, because I listen real quick. They
they could have won Game six, They could have. I
just I'm still shocked. I'm not shocked because the Dodgers

(01:34:16):
are the Dodgers, but I really thought that Toronto was
gonna pull it off in Game six on Friday night.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
Yeah. I thought so too. I'm with you there, okay, George.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
Well, you know, Joe Carter was a great player. I
enjoyed watching him, even though he was on an opposing team.
Two eighty four hits in his career, three ninety six
home runs. That's that's great, Warren, that you can relate
to that first to the first appearance there for for
Joe Carter, I know the fans loved them in Toronto.

(01:34:50):
He was with a lot of other teams as well,
But there certainly is a lot to be said for
the gap, you know, the gap of how long it's
taken again for Toronto, and it happens to so many
franchises as we know, this gap of trying to win
the second or maybe third or maybe just another World Series.
There's so many teams, including my Tigers of course, that

(01:35:11):
have been waiting since nineteen eighty four. So there is
a situation there where Joe Carter can relate back. And
I'm sure Vlad Gamiro and vladd Junior we'll be able
to one day share a couple of pops with him
and maybe even this offseason and reminisced because they both
were in the World Series as Jays. And of course

(01:35:33):
Joe with that tremendous opportunity he had with the Jays
and the home run was just incredible. So yeah, I
liked him. I liked him Scott. I think he's a
great ballplayer in history, Candy.

Speaker 4 (01:35:45):
You know, he was named five to five All Star
teams in his career. He hit three hundred and ninety
six home runs and drove in one thousand, four hundred
and forty five runs. He drove in one hundred runs
in a season ten times, including the ninety four year,

(01:36:08):
which was cut short due to the strike that occurred
one hundred and fifteen games that year. He was the
first player to record one hundred ribies for three different
teams in three consecutive seasons.

Speaker 7 (01:36:23):
You know he was.

Speaker 4 (01:36:25):
Carter was also involved in the final plays of four
games in which the Blue Jays clinched a championship, won
the game winning single to drive home Roberto Alomar, and
clinched the ninety one American League East of It in championship.
He caught the final out at first base in the
ninety two World Series, catch the final out in the

(01:36:48):
fly ball to right field in ninety three American League
Championship Series, and number four, the walk off home run
in Game six of the ninety three World Series, which
nobody will forget because they played it how many times
over in this series? The so those that hadn't didn't

(01:37:08):
see it back in the day.

Speaker 5 (01:37:10):
He got to relive it now.

Speaker 1 (01:37:13):
Great, So can you give her berno elmar the SkyDome.
He's definitely gonna be remembering, probably for the whole run,
probably more than his stance. And that's the TV in
the fall classic, right Warren for that defining moment the
Clintic game and walk out fashion, and that's exactly what
I remember for Go ahead, Eric, and we had one
more topics for the night and then we are done

(01:37:34):
and we'll give everybody the opportunity to let go ahead, Eric.

Speaker 6 (01:37:38):
Yeah, I mean Joe Carter obviously is more more well
known for it, for having probably the only walk to date,
the only walk off home run in World Series history
that ultimately won it for his team. But the overall
had a very very solid career. Yeah, you know, you
can't go wrong there. I think had the striking that happened,
he'd probably have four hundred, he'd have over four hundred

(01:37:59):
home runs had that not occurred. But you know, overall, though,
you know, he had a very very solid career.

Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
Great stuff. Okay, final topic of the night, talking about
a guy who ended up getting his first career hint.
We'll go back to August eight, two thousand and seven,
Cameron Mayban in his first career home run off of
the Yankees Roger Clemens. There's a couple of names I
can throw out a footnote. Mabon was involved in a
blockbuster trade with Miami along with other prospects for Miguel

(01:38:30):
Cabrewer Dontrell Willis. But your I mean, Cameron Mayman was
had a lot of great skills. I've talked to him
a few times, but you're going to give up a
player of that caliber, at least a Dembroski was shrewd
up and he was able to do it. And yet
to me, Miguel Cabrera, Dontrell Willis, you know, rowing in
that deal. Kim Leland can fix them. He talked about

(01:38:51):
Cameron Mayban and then proceeded to happen after that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:55):
Well, Camra Maven had a great career. I mean, there's
there's no question about it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:58):
You know he was.

Speaker 2 (01:39:00):
I was coaching in the Philadelphia organization at that time,
and we had to go up to Philly for three
days and observed big league baseball because a lot of
the coaches hadn't played big League baseball at that point.
And one of the times I went up there, Cameron
Maven happened to be I think he was playing for

(01:39:20):
the Mets at the time. I can't remember, not sure,
but I got to see him play and you know,
for three days, and oh boy, he was special, you
know he was. He was fun to watch. He could
do a lot. He could run, he could throw, he
could hit. You know, he was a special player, you know.
And for the Tigers to get a guy like Miguel
Cabrera and the don Tell Willis, you know, don Tell

(01:39:42):
Willis was down to the down side of his career.
But Miguel Cabrera had, you know, a phenomenal career with Detroit,
you know, led him to the playoffs numerous times.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
And he's done. Carol Willis was throwing in a salary.
You got to take him too, and Jim Lelandson takes him.
But now a great points you gotta be exactly good
up here go And I say that that was. This
happened during the Bayball Winner meetings to come up in
a few weeks, Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:40:10):
Rob, Yeah, he had a he had a pretty long
career right from two thousand and seven till twenty twenty one.
He hit seventy two home runs for his career, so
he had he had a pretty nice career, and yeah
he did. He finished his career with the Mets in
twenty twenty one.

Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
Okay, George, Yeah, he had a couple of stints in Detroit,
you know, with the Tigers in twenty sixteen. I the
other one was twenty twenty. I thought he was here
more than just a couple of seasons. But he was
always uh, he was always like a fan favorite, you know.
He had he was very fleet a foot and uh

(01:40:50):
hustled and roam the outfield as good as some of
the other Tigers did or better. And then of course, uh,
you know, the fans loved them because he was all
he's got a smile on his face and a great,
great ballplayer, even if it was just a few years
here in Detroit. They really liked him though.

Speaker 1 (01:41:09):
A few years because they've gotten returned from the Marlins trade.

Speaker 4 (01:41:13):
Yep, so George, you are right. He but he actually
debuted with the Tigers back into twenty oh seven. He
also then played for the Florida Marlins, San Diego Padres,
Atlanta Braves back to the Tigers the Angels, the Astros,
the Marlins for a second stint, Mariners, Yankees, Tigers again, Cubs,

(01:41:36):
and finally ends his career at the Mets. So he
was with a multitude of different teams, but he was
tabbed prior to the twenty five draft. Baseball America tab
mabn as the most promising available outfielder and the third
best hitting prospect overall. He fell to the Tigers in

(01:42:00):
the tenth spot of the two thousand and five draft,
in part due to speculation he would be difficult to sign.

five million dollar bonus.

a fan favorite.
