Why don't you pop that up? 24 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,239 I'm in that kind of mood. Pop it up. 25 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:06,560 Let's go out. This guy. 26 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,120 All right, so who is this Billy Myers? 27 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:17,440 Billy Myers, Dash, TD6 TW Yeah. All right, so you got fired for 28 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,560 a show that talked about baseball 365 days a year, and 29 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,760 you thought doing the same show was going to get different 30 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,560 results? Time to get a job, bro, and be a 31 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,120 man. Whoa, whoa, you dumb guy. 32 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,800 Be a man. Hot out the gate. 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,960 Oh my God, is somebody really truly laced with that kind of 34 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:39,360 negativity that they think that that's how they want to start 35 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,520 the day or that they're predisposed to starting the day 36 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,000 that way? You know, that's the kind of guy 37 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,080 that's kind of person maybe back in the day, shall we say. 38 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,720 Maybe a younger and less secure or less controlled BT might 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,480 absolutely eviscerate, which by the way, would be entertaining, 40 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,640 don't get me wrong. But I'm going to look at that. 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,720 I'm going to laugh and I'm just going to work under the notion 42 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,760 that I could take 2 fucking cans, OK, and a string and stand 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,640 on the fucking moon with no oxygen and I would have more 44 00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:16,720 viewers than you if you actually got on a station or on ATV show. 45 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,920 So that's, that's now we can move on. 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,560 All right? Now we, we, we, you know, we 47 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,800 can't let it get too out of hand. 48 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,840 Will we absorb these shots? You know, I mean, I'll, I'll 49 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,520 laugh a little bit, have a little bit of fun, but yeah, I 50 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,760 mean, come on, buddy, let's, let's let's get a grip. 51 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,720 Let's get real. Oh, man. 52 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,000 Oh, by the way, J Rod had some had some homework yesterday. 53 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,360 Yes, Sir. And now we told J Rod to watch. 54 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,680 Well, I gave him a couple of different options and he settled 55 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440 on the Warriors. All right, now we got some great 56 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,600 content today, but a lot of baseballs, so much to the 57 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,520 chagrin of of, of that gentleman with 9 letters, 9 letters in his 58 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,760 YouTube handle at a dash as well to his chagrin. 59 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,000 But I would like to know, what did you know? 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,520 It's very, very dated. It's very old. 61 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,160 Yeah. That's it. 62 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:06,000 So go ahead, give us. No, I mean, it was fun. 63 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,800 It was, it was definitely an entertaining run through. 64 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,320 I mean, certainly different from movies you watch today because 65 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,120 movies you watch today, they've got like, you know, they've 66 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,680 always got a message and there's always like something a little, 67 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,120 little avant-garde with the story. 68 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,520 This movie was just straightforward, just all right, 69 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,960 listen, these guys got framed for this murder. 70 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,280 Let's battle back to Coney Island. 71 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,000 So I thought it was funny and man, like a couple weeks ago, 72 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,400 you're getting on Kuzma. You're like, what's this guy 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,680 wearing his sweaters? They're too long. 74 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,880 Yeah, yeah, dude, they're out here in vests and Chieftain 75 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,800 garb. I'm like. 76 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,040 Yeah, I know. Like I know was. 77 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,200 That was that fresh back in the day. 78 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,040 Well, that not, not for me. I mean, listen, I was also never 79 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,760 in a gang. I was never remotely tough 80 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,040 enough or had interest in being or was being recruited by a 81 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,320 gang. I I think that you know you now 82 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,000 that's at the end of the 70s. So that's 79, I believe the 83 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,440 Warriors came out. So that means it starts getting 84 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,480 written and, and goes to production, you know, late 77, 85 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,120 maybe early 78. So you still have some remnants 86 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,440 from the mid 70s stylistically. I yeah, I do think that when you 87 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,120 look at the the gangs of the 70s, it was a lot of leather. 88 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,160 You know, it was a lot of spikes. 89 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,600 It was a lot of vest with the muscles showing, you know, the 90 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,120 bare chest and and stuff like that. 91 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,760 Think about it. Think about what now, I don't 92 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,160 know if this is the best example, but you know, think of 93 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440 the village people, think of the village people like YMCA, you 94 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,120 know what I mean? So, but did you like it? 95 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,280 Like All in all, you liked it the grittiness you had. 96 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,360 To watch it, yeah. I mean, it's definitely a good 97 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,080 time, definitely entertaining. I mean, I thought the scene 98 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,000 where they meet up with the girls and then they're like, 99 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,880 what are the Lizzies? They bust out the guns on us 100 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,320 like it's fun. It's a movie. 101 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,040 All right. Well, I could tell that you were 102 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,720 a good student because that's a fairly comprehensive report. 103 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,240 Good job, J Rod. I love it. 104 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,400 Oh, my God. The kids are going to school in 105 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,640 about 15 or 20 minutes. Go ahead. 106 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,760 Get out. Get out of here already. 107 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,600 Go to school already. Please get going. 108 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,360 The the shoveling yesterday was just a an immense colossal pain 109 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,160 in the ass. I, I don't I've never seen 110 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,720 anything like this. I, I really haven't in all my I 111 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200 was trying to tell my son there's now where I like it. 112 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,680 He started to proactively grab a shovel be granted it's a smaller 113 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,440 shovel, but still grabbing a shovel coming out trying to help 114 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,680 daddy, which I and my daughter came out for a little bit as 115 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,400 well and she tried to help, which was fun, right, But I was 116 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,520 it was so daunting, like I couldn't even go out my front on 117 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,240 the porch because it was so like. 118 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,800 Yeah. So I went out the garage. 119 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,800 I'm like, let me, let me just, you know, put the garage door up 120 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,160 and I'm looking at and I felt like I was remembering Empire 121 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,240 Strikes Back. The Huff. 122 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,080 The hop system you. Know when Han Solo slices over 123 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,440 that as like the animal slices open the animal and he sticks 124 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,480 Luke in there to keep him warm. Like it that it it it was it was 125 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,080 just snow everywhere and it was so daunting because generally 126 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,640 when you shovel like say if the if the snow. 127 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,400 I don't know if this would be the best example, right. 128 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,320 Say if the snow was like up to here and like the ground is 129 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,320 about here, like the shovel comes under it and then you just 130 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,920 lift whatever's there and it's gone. 131 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,200 But the difference yesterday was that it was literally 2324 132 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,520 inches where I am. So you would get here and then 133 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,960 by the time you got here it was too Hubble too heavy or the 134 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,720 shovel would break. So you had to almost smash the 135 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,040 top and loosen it up. I felt like I was preparing a 136 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,440 meal just to be able to work hard. 137 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,600 It was hard, bro. It was really hard. 138 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,880 And then the worst part and this I'll tell you and and I I don't 139 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,040 I want to be fair. They're doing their job. 140 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,160 I've got respect for them. I don't mean this they're in the 141 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,800 wrong way, but they look at you and it's almost like they know 142 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,400 that you're screwing you. What am I talking about? 143 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680 I'm talking about the people who come and plow in my 144 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,720 neighborhood. You know. 145 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,800 You pay decent amount of taxes certain things you know that the 146 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,320 town does for you. So the way it is like my 147 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,040 driveway. You know, decent sized driveway, 148 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,960 right? And then obviously it kind of 149 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,440 funnels out to the street. So I do the whole, I do the 150 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,880 whole thing. I do the, you know, I, I do 151 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,720 everything I had to do. And then just as I'm getting 152 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,240 ready to wrap up, they come by again with the plow. 153 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,920 And now it, it picks up like all the remnants of not only the 154 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,440 snow, but now it's ice. And now I've got to do it again. 155 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,040 Because if I don't the the you're not able to drive the car 156 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,080 out there and they look at you like, I don't know, like they 157 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,240 they don't even like I can't explain. 158 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,280 I know they're doing their job. I can't really explain to J Rod 159 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,280 and I appreciate hard work. I really do, but that part 160 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,560 annoys me. Land you are. 161 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,680 I was out there for literally I was out there for hours, hours 162 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,280 upon hours just trying to make a dent into this damn thing. 163 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,320 Eventually we got to figure it out. 164 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,200 You got to do what you got to do. 165 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,680 You got to man up and you got to be able to operate here. 166 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,200 So it looks like we're back to civilization here and the world 167 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,960 will continue to continue to continue to spin. 168 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,120 But it is just I, I'm, I'm so over this shit, man. 169 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,480 I can't wait for this, for this weather to, to start, you know, 170 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,120 coming in and start melting the ice. 171 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:21,120 I saw Wednesday it's going to be about 40, 243, so that's a 172 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,360 starting point. But yesterday was an absolute 173 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,320 disaster. What a disaster. 174 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,360 Yeah, no, terrible. I mean similar, similar vibe 175 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,400 like we've kind of got like a little I wanted to check out the 176 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,720 snow. We've got like a roof deck area 177 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,960 and I, I try to open the door, it doesn't open. 178 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:38,919 I. Couldn't open it up. 179 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,080 It's literally the snow was. Piled past the door frame. 180 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,080 Just stuck brutal, absolutely brutal. 181 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000 And just, you know, again and you know, and it's driving me 182 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,360 nuts because the whole time, like the last day or two, and I 183 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,520 get it, she's from Dallas. She didn't see a lot of snow 184 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,200 growing up. But the whole time my wife's 185 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,200 like, oh, it's so beautiful. Oh, look at the snow and the 186 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,960 trees. Oh, look at this is gorgeous. 187 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,720 This is great. And in my mind I'm saying, no, 188 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,960 it's not because this just means the baseball season is going to 189 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,680 be complicated here. Like we have a big tournament in 190 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:13,320 my, in my neighborhood where we invite, I don't know, there's, 191 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,440 there's probably 30 or 40 teams that descend upon our baseball 192 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,840 facility and we do a Saint Patrick's tournament travel club 193 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,760 teams like it's, it's, it's, it's fairly high level and it's 194 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,280 really awesome. Like we bring in these fences 195 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,800 and we make, because we have two, two, we have two big fields 196 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040 like where the kids play soccer and lacrosse. 197 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,760 Then we have another just a turf baseball field that we built 198 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,080 within the last two years. So what we do is we bring in 199 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,880 these massive fences and the one big field that soccer and 200 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,040 lacrosse, we fence it all for the kids. 201 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,960 It's it's like, I mean, it takes all day to Bill, takes all day 202 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,160 to bill, takes all data to take down this year. 203 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040 I could probably help with the fences because I'm not in the 204 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,120 city. Usually a lot of the guys in 205 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600 town do it like, you know, 9 or 1011 in the morning. 206 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,120 I'll do it after the show. I'm going to go out and give a 207 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,800 hand this year, but I I don't even know if we're going to get 208 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,480 if we're able to do that anyway, the snow, it just drove me 209 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,480 fucking nuts. Like really, it put like I 210 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,640 wasn't kidding. It put me in a bad mood. 211 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,920 Like that's the last thing that I wanted to see. 212 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,320 But here's what's going to put me back in a good mood. 213 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,120 Little baseball. Now Daryl Strawberry, who I know 214 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,920 really well and I love, had some really interesting things to say 215 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,880 about former met Pete Alonzo. Let's get this up on the board. 216 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,560 I want to read it, I want to react. 217 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,640 Look at the graphic there. Look at how sad Pete looks 218 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,560 walking away. But again, Pete sitting some 219 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,520 bombs early. Be that sad quote. 220 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,680 I was really shocked that Pete would leave New York for 221 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:36,000 Baltimore. One day he's going to wake up 222 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,600 and just like I did and regret you didn't stick where you're 223 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,040 at. That's what Darryl Strawberry 224 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,000 said. All right, again, I, I really do 225 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,920 have a lot of affinity for Darryl. 226 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,400 Like I've gotten to know him a little bit. 227 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,400 I remember when I was doing a lot of stuff for S&Y and that's 228 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,120 when he was really turning his life around with the church and 229 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,120 his wife Tracy, who I've met couple of times. 230 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,080 I remember the first time I really met Tracy, you can take 231 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,800 that down was at Michael Kay's wedding. 232 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,600 And I was, I was getting hammered with Coney. 233 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120 Oh, great wedding, my God. And, and, and you know, they 234 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,080 were there and we were having an awesome time. 235 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,040 And I appreciate Daryl's speaking. 236 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,200 I'm sure he was asked about this. 237 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,880 I don't think he just volunteered this So, but, but I 238 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,080 do think that Darryl is wildly off base here and I, I, I don't 239 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,720 think that you can equate the two at all. 240 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,640 I'm not even saying that he's trying to see. 241 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,840 There were three things that were preventing Darryl 242 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,640 Strawberry from remaining a bet. Number one, there was a massive 243 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,640 disconnect in the money, number one. 244 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,120 Number two, there was a, a high amount of mistrust and that was 245 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,880 all Darryl's fault. And #3 there was just a ton of 246 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,720 turmoil. That was all Darryl's fault. 247 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,160 So when he's, you know, he basically said that he 248 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,520 shouldn't. There was other quotes, but that 249 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,800 was the main one. That was the money 1. 250 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,480 He also went out to say that he should not have opted out of, 251 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,320 you know, with his deal with the Mets here. 252 00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:58,400 You know, I, I think that this is an example. 253 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,120 I do think that some people will take this and I don't want to 254 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,040 say you don't take shots at Daryl because I don't think 255 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,080 anybody's looking to do that. But I do think that they will 256 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,720 miss read this or they'll miss apply this. 257 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,960 This was not Daryl, You know, all to try to stick it to Pete 258 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,680 or I think that this is somebody who's not incredibly informed of 259 00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,280 the situation that that's just my honest, sincere opinion. 260 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,200 You think it you like every time I see Daryl for the most part on 261 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,160 social media, it's something to do with his ministry. 262 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,680 Like he's got a bigger calling right now. 263 00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:31,880 And I I totally respect that. I don't think I know he's not 264 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,440 like immersed day-to-day in in in baseball and like the Mets 265 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,800 business. And I know he's down to Port 266 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,800 Saint Lucie, or at least he was. I'm not sure how long he'll be 267 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,440 there. He was asked about this. 268 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,520 He gave a pretty, you know, he gave, gave you his opinion, but 269 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,600 I, I don't really think that it, it matches what happened here. 270 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,680 Get that up once more time. One more time there, Jay. 271 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,400 So, you know, you, you want to try to equate the two, you know, 272 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,560 one was back in the late 80s, one is back in the mid 20 273 00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:01,680 twenties. 2 very different people, two very different 274 00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,200 talents, two different personalities. 275 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,480 I was really shocked that Pete will leave New York for 276 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,720 Baltimore. Now keep this up. 277 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,600 I'm going to attack it line by line. 278 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,440 I was really shocked Pete will leave New York for Baltimore. 279 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,720 Well, why the Mets didn't want them. 280 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,240 You see, that's the part that Darrell's missing. 281 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,480 They did not want Pete Alonso. Everything in the negotiations 282 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,800 that, you know, that we're going on this offseason when he opted 283 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,520 out and everything that's transpired last year coming off 284 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,040 a really good season, you know, basically told you that the Mets 285 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,720 no longer valued Pete Alonso, that they were looking for 286 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,240 different things. They were, they were looking for 287 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,120 things that David Stearns valued more than what Pete Alonso was 288 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,520 able to bring to the table. Pete can't run. 289 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,320 Pete can't play defense. Pete's not a good base runner. 290 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,800 You know, Pete's not going to age gracefully, by the way. 291 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,960 These, I don't think these are things that I've said for a 292 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,920 couple of years and many of you resisted and many of you 293 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,520 resented. And I don't take any pleasure in 294 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,720 being right. But the action or or really the 295 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,600 inaction on the part of the Mets pertaining to try to keep Pete 296 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,440 validates everything that I said. 297 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,360 Not to mention that he's no longer here. 298 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,400 So I don't know why why Daryl would be shocked if somebody put 299 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,520 it this way. You know, I know the radio 300 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,680 business is very different. You can get me back up here now. 301 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,720 Thank you very much. If you look at the way it ended, 302 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,920 you can get me back up here, Jay. 303 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,480 We're good. If you look at the way it ended 304 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,080 for the fan, like if there was, and I know it's it's different, 305 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,480 like I'm of course I'm again, you know, Pete's making that 30, 306 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,360 whatever the hell he's making. It's just not like that. 307 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,880 And by the way, I freaking wish that there was free agency in 308 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,480 radio. I I wish that there was free 309 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,640 agency in radio. Like I wish that you come up and 310 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,800 you got to go through the arbitration nonsense. 311 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,800 The pre orb, the pre orb 1, whatever it is, you know, 312 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,320 incrementally get a little bit more. 313 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,760 I promise you, I promise you that if there was radio free 314 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,120 agency, I'd be a fucking stud. I can promise you that. 315 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,920 Like now I'm I'm, I'm thrilled with what we're doing. 316 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,400 I am and I know what this is the new wave of of communication and 317 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,320 content and radio's dying. Radio is dying a very slow 318 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,560 death. All right. 319 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,000 Companies that used to be on the FM signal are no longer on the 320 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,360 FM signal. Companies that used to pay a lot 321 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,080 of money and subscribe to the ratings and you know what I'm 322 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,120 talking about, no disrespect. They no longer do that because 323 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,760 it's no longer cost effective. So the measurement, you know, US 324 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,760 versus them, them versus US, that whole game is over. 325 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,560 Nobody writes about the New York radio wars anymore Like it's, 326 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,160 it's, it's, it's over. I mean, the carousel has stopped 327 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,360 turning, you know what I mean? But that doesn't mean people 328 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,680 don't have jobs and that people don't make decent money. 329 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,800 In a few spots at WFA ended a few of the other spots there and 330 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,800 you have games. The Giants in the home of the 331 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,840 Yankees. There are elements of high 332 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,640 viability. But the days of radio, like what 333 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,560 it used to be are clearly over. I mean, the stamps aren't 334 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,520 getting, you know, enhanced or, or, or deepened. 335 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,120 They're getting whacked every every year. 336 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,200 This is getting sliced off and that's getting sliced off. 337 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,160 But I know I'm going on a tangent here, but I I should 338 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,280 only be so lucky for there to be radio free agency. 339 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,480 All right, Hey, you know, if it was actually based on talent and 340 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,000 it was actually based on merit and not some other bullshit that 341 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,440 some people want to rate rate, you know, whatever they want to 342 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,920 do. I can promise you that if there 343 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,560 was radio free agency agency, I would have massive offers. 344 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,040 You could take that, You could clip that, and you can play that 345 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,920 for perpetuity. It's a fact. 346 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,360 All right, So the difference is, is that Pete, who is, by the 347 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,840 way, a lot better at his job than I am at mine. 348 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,120 I'm not trying to go nuts here, right? 349 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,880 But nobody was knocking down the door of Pete Alonso starting 350 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,240 with the Mets. So you know, when Daryl says 351 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,720 that, I'm like, I know it wasn't malicious. 352 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,960 It wasn't, but I, I know it wasn't. 353 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,120 It's a Daryl. I don't think Daryl has a bad 354 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,079 bone in his body anymore. I think that he has changed to 355 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:09,319 the point where the person that he's become is real. 356 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,440 And I think that that's incredibly impressive and I'm 357 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,720 happy for him and I'm proud of him. 358 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,359 I, I really am. Because there were points this 359 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,119 before I knew Daryl, like back in the day where that was a dark 360 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,760 figure, that was a dark man and it's well chronicled. 361 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,880 I'm not going to run through all the stuff that happened. 362 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,200 You can look it up, but you you cannot equate the two because 363 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,000 Frank Cashin didn't trust you, Management ownership didn't 364 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,480 trust you. You know, your reliability on 365 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,040 the field as a great five tool player wasn't always 366 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,520 translating. Effort was questioned. 367 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,320 You know, there there was a lot of knocks on on Daryl where he 368 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,920 was hurt and he didn't really return from injury very, very 369 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,000 soon or it just took a little longer than some people thought. 370 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,080 That was never Pete Alonso. I mean, Pete is just a different 371 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,520 athlete and a different type of player in a very different time. 372 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,360 I don't just hey, let's use common sense for a moment, guys, 373 00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:07,600 please apply common sense. Do you think that if the Mets 374 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,480 would have been proactive because everything the other 375 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,000 part of what Darrell saying is, is true? 376 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,760 I do think there's going to be a point in Pete's life where, you 377 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,040 know, not now, maybe when he comes back to Citi Field in 378 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,000 September, maybe when, you know, he retires. 379 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,200 And let's face it, if he gets 500 home runs, he's going to be 380 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,600 he's going to be in Cooperstown. He's going to be a Hall of Famer 381 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,840 at least debatable. I mean, and I would say yes more 382 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,240 than no, there's going to come a point of self reflection for 383 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,240 Pete where he's going to, I don't know, question. 384 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,080 It's going to really depend how it goes in Baltimore too. 385 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,280 If it goes really well, well, then he won't lament leaving the 386 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,480 Mets. But what was the option, Darryl? 387 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,040 Like I'm I'm asking the question, what was the option 388 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,080 not opt out and take 6570 cents on the dollar despite being one 389 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,920 of the preeminent power hitters in the game. 390 00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:59,240 Would you do that, Darryl? Did you do that, Darryl? 391 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,000 The answer is no. And I, I think when like there's 392 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000 a lot like, you know, I was going to say that there's really 393 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520 not much that that I personally regret. 394 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,640 I'm not saying there's no regrets, but like if I was, you 395 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,640 know, obviously you I've talked about this a lot. 396 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,360 I, I coach and I played whatever, but I was just never 397 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:20,680 good enough to make it all right. 398 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,840 I know that I maxed out at the mid age Division One level 399 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,720 injuries, just didn't quite have that talent. 400 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,320 But like if I had the talent and and I just flushed it down the 401 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,000 chute as a as a dad, as a grown man. 402 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,880 Now that would begins to reflect on earlier parts of my life. 403 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,200 Man, I would I would that would be a burden that will be very 404 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,600 hard for me to deal with. Now. 405 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,680 It bothers me that I didn't perform the way that I should 406 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,960 have right. But I can look myself in the 407 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,760 mirror and just stare through my eyes and say, Hey, did you 408 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,240 really give it your best? Did you do everything that you 409 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,960 that if you said that you wanted to be the next Don Mattingly and 410 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,440 you wanted to play Major League Baseball? 411 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,240 And you want to do this. You want to do that. 412 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,800 There's certain limitations that you can't control. 413 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,280 Man Upstairs does OK. What you can control is how much 414 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,520 do you put out? How much do you try to maximize 415 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,960 whatever God gave you? And I'm content in my, you know, 416 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,200 I mean, I wish I was giving more talents, quite frankly. 417 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,880 But in my early 50s, I can look in that mirror, the Bill 418 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,360 Parcells mirror, because the reflection never lies. 419 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,360 The man in the mirror. We know the poem. 420 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,200 And I can look in that mirror. And even though it's painful, 421 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,920 you know, certain parts like not getting the job done or not 422 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,840 performing the way that I thought that I should and my 423 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,920 teammates and my school thought that I should. 424 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,560 I can look in that mirror with a very clear mindset and the prism 425 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,440 that of, of self evaluation. I'm content, you know, like just 426 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,880 because I, I know I, I couldn't go any further. 427 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,440 Can Darryl do that? Can Darryl? 428 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,720 No, and and I'm not, I love Darryl, but Darryl can't do 429 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,920 that. Can Pete Alonzo do that? 430 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,280 Yes, he could. Pete Alonso could do that. 431 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,080 Specific to his Mets tenure, Pete Alonso could do that. 432 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,480 Darryl Strawberry could not. That's a big difference right 433 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,400 there. So I just think it's the kind of 434 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,480 thing, you know, where a guy who's been removed from the game 435 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,880 for a long time, who has more important interest like his 436 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,840 church. And it's great. 437 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,640 It's it's great what Darryl's doing. 438 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,480 I think the wording when you see it, put it up once more there. 439 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,400 Jay, please put up that quote for buddy. 440 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,040 I want to get to some Sodo stuff as well. 441 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,200 I got something on the draft too. 442 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,000 Like when you see that, if you don't take the time to 443 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:37,680 incorporate, you know, nuance and circumstance and all the 444 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,600 keep keep it up there, please. All the other stuff. 445 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,840 I, I, I think Daryl in the court of public opinion is going to 446 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,160 get a little knocked around today and I'm not here to do 447 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,280 that because I don't think that he meant this with, with an 448 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:51,600 ounce of, of malice. Quote. 449 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,680 I was really shocked that Pete will leave New York for 450 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,720 Baltimore. Well, you shouldn't be because 451 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,120 the Mets didn't want him. Baltimore did next one day he's 452 00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:02,200 going to wake up like I did and regret that you didn't stick 453 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,640 where you're at. End Quote. 454 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,400 Well, I don't think that you can have any regrets. 455 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,720 This is just whether this is Pete leaving the Mets or Darryl 456 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,480 leaving the Mets or Pete finishing in Baltimore or I 457 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,960 don't know, if Aaron Judge doesn't win a World Series. 458 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,400 Like if you do everything that you can do at your like, at at 459 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,680 your disposal within your power, if you really attack it with 460 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:30,080 such unrelenting vigor that when you look in that mirror, 461 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,840 whenever that is, if you like the image that's staring back at 462 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,120 you, then I, I don't think that you're going to one day wake up 463 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,560 like I did quote and regret you didn't stick where you're at. 464 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,200 End Quote. Because to do that, you would 465 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,520 have been sacrificing self worth. 466 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,880 And what idiot is going to do that when you're talking about 467 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,840 that kind of money? So again, I'm not here to beg on 468 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,680 Daryl. I am one of Daryl's biggest 469 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,600 fans. I I mean, even when Daryl was a 470 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,400 met, he was one of my favorite players. 471 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,200 I just love Daryl. I love this style. 472 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,120 I love this grace. I love the swing. 473 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,120 I love the way he looked in the uniform. 474 00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:09,680 Just loved everything about Daryl. 475 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,240 Come on, love the more when he was winning World Series with 476 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,720 the Yankees, of course. But Daryl's the man, and Daryl's 477 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,400 a good cat, and Daryl has become a great soul and a great person 478 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,000 and a great ambassador for many more important things in life 479 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,920 here. I think Darryl's wildly off base 480 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,360 because I think he fails to incorporate the circumstances of 481 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,200 Pete, and he makes it seem like it's the same as his. 482 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,400 And they weren't very different. All right. 483 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:37,920 Juan. Soto. 484 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,160 Soto. Yeah. 485 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,680 I'd say I don't mind hearing the whisper when Juan wins 83 games. 486 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,720 Soto 83 All right, so Juan Soto said something interesting too, 487 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,400 and I love this here. I love when players talk like 488 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,520 this. Let's get this up. 489 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,040 I told you to baseball day. I've got something on the NFL 490 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,520 draft as well, which you guys will dig. 491 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,320 So Juan Soto on battling show look at these graphics. 492 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,200 Although wait, do they make Otani a right-handed hitter 493 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,200 there? What's going on with that for 494 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,640 the NLMVP? Quote, I'm going to be there 495 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,440 every year too. And he better keep doing what 496 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:22,240 he's doing because I'm coming and quote Soto on battling the 497 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,600 great Shohei Otani, the the transcendent all time Shohei 498 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,280 Otani for the NLMVP. All right, now here's the thing. 499 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,720 So I'm looking at this right now. 500 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:33,880 Of course, I think it's possible. 501 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,400 I think Juan Soto's a terrific, terrific hitter and what he's 502 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,600 good at. You could take that down, Jay, 503 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,800 thanks. What he's good at, like he's all 504 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,560 time great at in terms of being on base and his his acumen, just 505 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,120 ball strike and differentiating and and all that prowess all 506 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:50,200 time great, right? I'm not even going to get into 507 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,760 fielding running, even though we did steal almost 40 bases. 508 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,400 Whatever. I think if Juan Soto's going to 509 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,440 get there, which I believe that he can, I think Wansoto just 510 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,080 simply has to be better because, and I believe he's got that 511 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,600 extra gear in his chamber here. But going back in the sending 512 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,600 years, right? So in 2025, you had Otani hit 513 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,680 the 55 bombs in 2024, also the 50 steel, 54 home runs, right? 514 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,080 In 2023. These are all previous NLMVP 515 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,440 winners. Acuna hit 337 with 41 home runs, 516 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,480 stole 73 bases. Now the year before that, of 517 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,280 course the Yankees can never get this version because those days 518 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,400 are over. Goldschmidt hit 317 with 115RBI 519 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,120 S MVP in 2021. I'm not even going to count 20 520 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:41,120 because of the shortened season. But Harper hit three O 9. 521 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:46,600 In 2019 that was Pete Bellinger 3O5 with 47 home runs. 522 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,640 And then even the year before that going back to 2018, Kristen 523 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,040 Yelich Milwaukee hit 326 with 36 and 110. 524 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,840 Now, what is the one common aside from power and in some 525 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,840 cases some some some some high level base running right. 526 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,880 Well, the other commonality here is that, you know, outside of 527 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,480 Otani, I believe one of the years everybody hit over 300 and 528 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,280 that's something Juan Soto, by the way hasn't done since 2021. 529 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,520 Now this very well might be the year that he that he does it and 530 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,360 there were some circumstances Dell play for two teams in one 531 00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:22,920 year. OK, And that was back in 2022 532 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:28,680 when he hit a very unsoto like 242, clearly not who he is. 533 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,360 I mean, Juan Soto can go up there and and half try and he's 534 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,080 never going to hit 242 again, except maybe at the back end of 535 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,480 that contract where he's just a diminished figure and he's 536 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,720 chasing benchmarks. I don't know, 600 home runs, 537 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,600 whatever the benchmarks might be for him, depending upon how 538 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,000 healthy he stays and what he does. 539 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,680 But anyway, 20/22, he had 242 in 2023. 540 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,840 He had 275 in 2024 with the great Aaron Judge, hit 288. 541 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,200 So he's ticking there. And then last year took a step 542 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,920 back. Year one with the Mets, not as 543 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:03,160 clutch, rough start, some hustle issues early, not running down 544 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,840 the line. 2025 hit 263. Now at the end of the year with 545 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,920 the Mets, like if you didn't watch Juan Soto, you'd say 546 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,280 phenomenal. First year with the Mets, 43 547 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,280 bombs, 100, plus ribbies. OPS was I think it was 921. 548 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,240 Yeah, it was 988 the year before, yeah, 921 big time 549 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,160 season. OK. 550 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:26,640 But obviously watching and being Uber critical, just based on the 551 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,440 contract and the expectations, you knew that it was a bit of an 552 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,880 uneven year for Juan Soto. Especially if you're somebody 553 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,520 like Juan Soto, you know where you going to do damage and 554 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,160 clutch spots. I think that Juan Soto could win 555 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,680 an MVP. Matter of fact, I'd be 556 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,320 disappointed if he doesn't. The Mets have never had that. 557 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,680 And Juan Soto's got the goods to be the first Met to ever win the 558 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,320 World Series. The the MVP, the couple of guys, 559 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,800 just Darryl could have won it back in the day. 560 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,640 Few others came close. David Wright had some big, big 561 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,440 seasons. But if he wants to win the MVP. 562 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,080 Yeah, one more time with that quote board. 563 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:00,720 See, I love that he's saying this. 564 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,800 This is a guy who is beyond feeling the pressure, quote, I'm 565 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,560 going to be there every year too, so he better keep doing 566 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,320 what he's doing because I'm coming and quote, like that's a 567 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,920 money that like that's like if you're a Mets fan, how good does 568 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,400 that feel? And it's not hollow. 569 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,000 Like sometimes some of these guys will go out there and say, 570 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,680 I'm going to do this and I want to do that. 571 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,040 You're like, all right, sounds good buddy, but you're not 572 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,680 billed for that. That's not who you are. 573 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,840 I mean, one Soto could do anything he wants in the 574 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,840 batter's box. So to me, for one Soto not to 575 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:41,720 hit 300 is wildly disappointing. It's unacceptable, you know, and 576 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,400 and by the way, you could you could get that off there. 577 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,520 J Rod, thank you. That nice timing right there. 578 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,880 That a boy. So I remember a couple of years 579 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,280 ago the whole Tucker Soto thing where I said Tucker's a better 580 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,080 all around player. I think he is. 581 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,960 I know Soto's a much better hitter, but all the round, even 582 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,880 though Soto stole all the bases, that's more of a a byproduct of 583 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,720 the I mean, listen, you still stole them so that I don't 584 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,480 really need to contextualize that because Aaron Judge didn't 585 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,960 steal 38. But again, it's a timing thing 586 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,440 rather than a speed thing because his Sprint speed and his 587 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,200 runs against, you know, in the outfield defensively are horrid. 588 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,280 All right, so I said. And Tucker's faster and a better 589 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,600 defender. Not a great defender, but 590 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,720 better, but better all around player. 591 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,120 Soto superior hitter. I think most of us know that. 592 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,080 But where I push back and whether it was with Sal, whether 593 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,360 it was with Culver's, whether it was with who, I'll do it right 594 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,160 now if you want to whomever wants to do it. 595 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,600 When people say this goes back to how I feel about the word 596 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,200 great. Like let's not throw it around 597 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,240 there. Oh yeah, great game. 598 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,320 Oh, great player. Are you great or are you good? 599 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,720 And I'm not even talking about Soto. 600 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,800 Now, are you really good or are you great? 601 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,000 Like it's a lazy, lazy people just throw it out there too 602 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,560 much. And to me, great is the is the 603 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,120 pinnacle of achievement. Like there's first you suck, 604 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,640 then there's slightly below average, then there's this is my 605 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,000 scale. Just make it off the top of my 606 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,040 head ass. So we'll go, we'll go ass scrub. 607 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,760 We'll go slightly below average, we'll go average, we'll go 608 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,760 slightly above average, We'll go highly above average, we'll go 609 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,440 highly above average. We'll go elite, we'll go, you 610 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,600 know, great slash superstar. And you know, if you call like 611 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,000 37 players great, that's stretching the boundaries of the 612 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,920 world. There aren't 37 great players 613 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,080 because there's not 37 superstars. 614 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,520 Like let me ask you this, there are people and I've heard it 615 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:38,760 too. Just a quick comparison. 616 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,480 Oh, cats great. Look at the numbers. 617 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,520 And I know cat, you know, I hit him a lot. 618 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,040 I get it. He started to play a little bit 619 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,840 better. Now yesterday, you know, I 620 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,080 talked a little bit about the Knicks, a little bit encouraged 621 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,120 coming back from that Rockets deficit, beating the Bulls, even 622 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,560 though the Bulls stink back-to-back. 623 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,160 Maybe this is the opening, like the awakening of the Knicks. 624 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,120 We'll see. But a lot of people, because 625 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,960 Cats scores points, can shoot threes, good foul shooter, good 626 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,480 rebounder, all that stuff. Cats great. 627 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,040 No, he's not. He's not great. 628 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,520 Jayson Tatum is great when he's helping. 629 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,680 Jaylen Brown is great. Jaylen Brunson is great. 630 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,800 Luca is great. Giannis when healthy is great. 631 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,640 Cats not great. He's good. 632 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,760 He's really good. He's an All Star. 633 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,440 It's not like there's there's a delineation there. 634 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,320 So I say this because when you would call me up and Sal would 635 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,200 tell me how great Juan Soto is, Yeah, more, more so from a 636 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,880 hitting point of view and certain aspects, I don't I don't 637 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,480 push back on again. I'm not just trying to, you 638 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,360 know, take shots at Soda because what he's again, what he's great 639 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,160 at, he's all time great at. But when I hear generational 640 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:46,880 talent, transcendent hitter, all time hitter, can you hit 300 641 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,800 once in the last five years? You know, Aaron Judge found a 642 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,800 way to do it, you know what I mean? 643 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:58,160 And if you're not going to hit 300, bang, 54 bombs like Ohtani. 644 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,600 And that's why I and again, I love that Soto says this. 645 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,920 I like that. Push those chips in the middle 646 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,840 of the table. You got the contract. 647 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,920 You're the you're the top met. It's not Lindoor, it's you. 648 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,960 All right, You didn't make the playoffs last year. 649 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,440 There should be a little pressure. 650 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,200 New team, show them the way. I believe that he will. 651 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,960 I'm much more a believer in Soto than a detractor, but that keep 652 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,120 that up there. I want to read that in a SEC 653 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:21,880 there, Jay. Thanks bud. 654 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,360 The reason why I run through the last, I don't know, 9 or so 2 655 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,480 for seven or eight MVPS in the National League is because 656 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,240 there's a statistical connection. 657 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,400 You either hit almost sixty home runs or you hit over 300 with 658 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,640 power. I mean, Acuna hit 33740 plus 659 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,520 bombs, stole 70 plus bags. I mean, so is Soto ever going to 660 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,480 Soto's never going to do that because he's never going to 661 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,560 steal 70 bases. I mean, could he hit 337? 662 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,040 He could. I'd like to see it. 663 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:56,200 I mean even Goldschmidt year three 17115 ribbies, 10 more RB 664 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,680 is than Soto had a year ago at a whole hell of a lot higher 665 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,080 average. Harper going back to the 2021 666 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,920 season hit three O 9. I mean he hasn't hit 300 since 667 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,960 2021. Not saying he can't do it. 668 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,240 I'm just saying that he hasn't done it. 669 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,320 You know, Bellinger three O 547 home runs. 670 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,680 I'm not making this stuff up. Yelich won the MVP back in 2018. 671 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:28,440 Milwaukee hit three 26326. So to me that that is what needs 672 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,640 to happen because he just told you, and I love that he said 673 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,400 this because the thumb is like not he doesn't run away from 674 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,000 pressure at all. I love it. 675 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,720 I'll tell you who would never say that because I don't think 676 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,280 he believes in himself the way that Juan Soto believes in 677 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,400 himself. I don't think Lindor would ever 678 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,600 say that. And this is not to knock Lindor 679 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,640 either, but they're built different. 680 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,080 Juan Soto's built for everything. 681 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,680 Lindor is built for a lot of stuff, not everything. 682 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,920 This is a difference, All right. So I believe Soto when he says 683 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,280 that, that he believes it, that he thinks he could do it, but 684 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,480 now you got to do it at Virtual Discourse. 685 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,040 You don't have to hit 300 to win or hit 300 to win. 686 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,719 OPS matters for me more. Yeah, Judge and Otani both 687 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,800 consistently over 1000 to win the MVP. 688 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:20,400 No, I I agree with that. Well, then either way, we can 689 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,040 just juxtapose certain things here if you wanted to. 690 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,880 And I just say the 300 average because literally it's proven 691 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:31,840 that the 123-4567 the last, you know, well, can't put put Otani 692 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,520 aside. He's just he's a freak show. 693 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,520 But from Ocuna Goldschmidt, Harper Bellinger and Yelich 5, 694 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,600 the five last MVP winners in the NL. 695 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,960 And I'm only talking about this because Juan Soto brought this 696 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,080 up himself, all right, That, you know, he's he's ready to win the 697 00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:48,239 so Otani better be ready to keep up. 698 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,239 I have no doubts Otani is going to do what he's what he's done. 699 00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:55,520 I believe that Soto's going to keep doing what he's done, but 700 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,480 that's not good enough to win the MVP, as evidenced by the 701 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,280 fact that he's got none so far. So this is not a knock on Soto. 702 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,600 Don't hijack that or do whatever you want. 703 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,840 That really doesn't matter, but I don't think that you can be 704 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,240 generational when you hit in succession. 705 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,080 I'm sorry, you want to tell me batting averages antiquated, 706 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,360 that's fine. It's not that antiquated where 707 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:24,440 it doesn't mean anything. 240-2275, 280-8263, Figure it 708 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,200 out, dude, Figure it out. Because I remember watching a 709 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,800 young Aaron Judge and there's no comparison between the two. 710 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,560 I'm just bringing them up now. I remember watching a young 711 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,480 Aaron Judge, ironically against the Mets. 712 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,400 Max Scherzer. It's about what year was this? 713 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:43,200 God, 2524. This was at least four years 714 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,960 ago. Was it 2022? 715 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,960 Yeah, I'm going to say 2022 SO22345. 716 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,080 Yeah, problem. We stick with that. 717 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,400 I remember in the Subway series, Scherzer just kept taking Judge 718 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,800 to school outside Slider, wipeout slider, wipeout Slider 719 00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:02,200 and Judge Flailing, flailing, flailing. 720 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,880 Well, guess what? Aaron Judge went from being a 721 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:10,760 272752828288, whatever it was to all of a sudden he's basically 722 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,880 like, you know, Rod Carew with power. 723 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,480 That's a trans. That's a transformative, 724 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,040 transcendent, generational all time player. 725 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,400 Juan Soto is a cut below that. And I'm sorry if you guys don't 726 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,760 want to identify that. I don't know what to tell you. 727 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,240 I just don't know now if he was hitting 55 home runs like Otani 728 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,480 and his OPS was consistently over 1000, which it really never 729 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,080 is. Even the great year that he had 730 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,520 with the Yankees was South of 1000. 731 00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:44,240 Aaron Judge is 1100 every year with his eyes shut, Aaron Judge. 732 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,880 And and again, there's no comparison. 733 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,080 But if you want to talk about that, that top perch, that top 734 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,920 spot, like what it looks like, here's what it looks like. 735 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,320 You bang 50 plus bombs, you win batting titles, you have an OPS 736 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,320 over 11, you're a plus defender. You're good on the basis you 737 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,840 know that that's where I, we kind of start. 738 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,040 And Oh yeah, by the way, you have a war. 739 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,720 You want to laugh at war, that's fine. 740 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:08,800 I don't, and I know many of you don't either anymore. 741 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,800 I, I mean, it's, it's a pretty good number. 742 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,920 It's not representative of everything, but it means 743 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,200 something when you have a WAR of 10 or better. 744 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,960 Three of the last Four Seasons, not 7, not 8, not 9 / 10. 745 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,320 Three of the last Four Seasons. And the only reason, the one 746 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,600 season that's below 10, barely, I think it was 8.8, whatever it 747 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,160 was, is because those idiot dopey Dodger moron jerks never 748 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,520 fixed the outfield wall. And he missed two months because 749 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,120 if he didn't miss two months, not instead of hitting 38 home 750 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,920 runs, he'd have 50 something. He'd have another MVP. 751 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,440 Yanks would have been a playoff team. 752 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,960 And Oh yeah, by the way, he would have had a WAR over 10, 753 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,080 which is my point. Like that's, that's 754 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,560 transcendent, that's untouchable stuff. 755 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,360 Juan Soto's really good. And I liked it, Juan saying 756 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,600 this, but this should be the window because Judge is older. 757 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,360 All right. Now I'm going to be fair to Juan 758 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,360 Soto. While he came up a lot younger 759 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,280 than than Aaron Judge, he was 19. 760 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,680 Judge was 24. And that's going to ultimately 761 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,280 impact Aaron Judge's numbers in totality. 762 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,880 When it's all said and done, the like it it took Judge a while to 763 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,880 refine his approach because he wasn't this type of the last two 764 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,440 or three years when he's morphed into a a more patient, higher 765 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,240 average hitter without losing and sacrificing any power like 766 00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:29,200 that is a step now you Babe Ruth and actually you're better 767 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:30,800 because you're not. You're playing against 768 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,720 minorities and it's a different, you know, I saw a stat. 769 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,200 Oh God, what was it? It was so amazing. 770 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,560 I got to make sure I have this hold on. 771 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,920 Jeez, was it, it was something about Ruth. 772 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,800 I'm going to butcher this and it's going to bother me. 773 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:54,880 I think it was something along the lines of, yeah, it was MLB. 774 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,680 Let me maybe, maybe step by step, it was MLB networks 775 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,120 running through their top 100 players, which which I always 776 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,920 pop in on each year. I don't watch the whole show, 777 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:07,360 but I, I chime in, I pop in, I look at the list. 778 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,680 And I caught it the other day by chance when they were running 779 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,160 through the top ten. And Soda was #6 by the way. 780 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,560 So Aaron Judge for some reason was number 2. 781 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,320 They continue to lick Otan on his boots. 782 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,960 I'll take Judge and Otani should be too, but whatever they put 783 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,200 him on, they put Judge too because of the pitching as we 784 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:28,840 know, and they stay had him to stat that when when Babe Ruth 785 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:37,000 hit his sixty home runs, he faced 46 pitchers the whole 786 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,520 year. No reliefs. 787 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,160 The obviously no specialist. Oh, let's get the hey, we got 788 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,280 Babe coming up. Let's get the lefty specialist. 789 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,160 There is no such thing. You got some guy who's cutting 790 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,640 down Christmas trees in, you know, in December and laying 791 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,720 brick in January to subsidize his income and who's throwing 792 00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:58,200 397 innings, probably throwing 86 miles an hour, you know, 793 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,400 maybe spitting on a ball, but you know, then no other pitches. 794 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,880 And, you know, he's, he's pitching every other day. 795 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,960 That's the guy that Babe Ruth is facing. 796 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:12,480 So it was, I think it was 46 for Babe and it was like 160 for 797 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,480 Aaron Judge. Think about. 798 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,400 And by the way, by extension and obviously impacts other hitters 799 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:23,320 now who face so many more arms, so many more angles, so many 800 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,960 more, you know, matchups that are less favorable driven by the 801 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,720 data. All right, this guy's not great 802 00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:30,880 on the slider. Well, let's get the righty 803 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,240 righty on righty who has a wipeout slider. 804 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,800 All right, the numbers tell us and numbers don't fully lie. 805 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,800 They don't tell you the entire truth, but they're a road map to 806 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,840 something. So it's a whole hell of a lot 807 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,280 harder to be great now than it was back then. 808 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:49,440 And you know, Aaron Judge wasn't this hitter, this profile at the 809 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:54,360 age of 262728, which is where Juan Soto is now entering that 810 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,920 what should be his absolute prime. 811 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,800 But because he came up at 19, you can make the case. 812 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,680 And he was amazing in the World Series. 813 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,360 You can make the case that he should already be a little bit 814 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,520 more advanced with the average and with a few. 815 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,040 Well, there's really no other numbers that I mean, he's not 816 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,720 going to be on base more. He's great with that. 817 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000 I'm just laying it out, you know, and this is something that 818 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,600 that is always been a good spark for any show that I've been on 819 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,480 with, with with any caller or with Sal or with whomever social 820 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,080 media. And listen, I'm, I'm not going 821 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,560 to be so arrogant to say that you're wrong. 822 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,760 I'm just going to say that I'm right. 823 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,160 Let's let's cut the difference that way. 824 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,600 You're not wrong. You're not wrong. 825 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,960 I just happen to be right. J Rod, you notice the difference 826 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:41,840 there, buddy? No big. 827 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,840 Difference. They're not wrong, Jay. 828 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,880 They're just not right. Yeah, All right, what do we got 829 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,440 here? What is let's see here. 830 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,960 All right, at the under score. Rod, what a Soto done that's so 831 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,480 amazing at his age. What a World Series at 19. 832 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,800 Great other than other others have at a similar age. 833 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,280 Well, Cabrera for the Marlins, where they beat the Yankees back 834 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,960 in 2003. I believe that he was 19 and 835 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,760 he's one of the greatest right-handed hitters, one of the 836 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,920 greatest pure hitters, Miggy of all time. 837 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,400 And you know, and and and maybe 1. 838 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,960 So do me a favor, all right, put up J Rod, I need you to do this 839 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,440 here and again. If I had I I would do it, but I 840 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,360 would lose the feed. So just do it for me. 841 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,280 See, when I when I when I talk about pure hitters, like great 842 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,360 hitters, right, look up Miguel Cabrera, all right, I believe 843 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,920 his first year was O3. I'm pretty sure. 844 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,240 I don't think he came up before that. 845 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:37,800 I know he played in the World Series. 846 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,080 Will you run down? And then especially as he got to 847 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,360 the Tigers, The only thing that I want is batting average. 848 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:51,120 I don't need OPS, home runs, ribbies, just run down in 849 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,720 succession when you have it. Miggy's batting average all. 850 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,280 Right, I've got it. The site's just being a little 851 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,920 slow. Just I got you and I want you 852 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,640 guys to listen. And as we're looking this up and 853 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,240 again, Miggy had power as well, drove it a ton of ton of runs. 854 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,440 OPS was always high like Juan Soto. 855 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,960 But think about this, you know, the last four years for Soto 856 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,240 batting average, which I know doesn't mean what it used to for 857 00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:17,560 many of you and even to me to an extent. 858 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:25,600 But 240-2275, 280-8263 in his prime or what what I believe is 859 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,000 his, you know, now prime with. So what do you have for Mickey 860 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:28,440 there? Go ahead. 861 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,200 So 2003 was 268-2000. Starting out. 862 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,880 Start down like go. Down. 863 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,400 He's just starting out. He's just starting out by the by 864 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,400 the way, I'm sorry, Jay, you don't even have to give me the 865 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,000 year. We're assuming we're starting at 866 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,480 2003. Just RIP through the averages 867 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,200 and give me a little pause in between each one. 868 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,520 Just the averages go ahead starting from 2003 268. 869 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,240 260-8294. Here we go. 323. 870 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,160 OK. 339. Here we go. 3/20. 871 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,560 I mean, come on. 292. Down here. 3/24. 872 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:07,440 Back it back up. 3/28. Demand. 344 come. 873 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:12,760 On 344 come. On 3/30. 3:30. 348. 3-4 Are you 874 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,960 listening to these numbers? 313. 33 What'd you say, 313? 875 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:23,120 Yeah, Three 13338 dude 3/16. You could stop, you could stop 876 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,000 you. You can stop. 877 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,960 Points been proven and, and I'm not even trying to make this 878 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:33,360 like a Soto Miguel Cabrera thing, but that to me and we can 879 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,680 RIP through the OP s s and all that, which I'm I'm sure are 880 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,440 incredibly similar and I'm sure favorable to Mickey in in many 881 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,240 of those years because he was also a power guy. 882 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:47,360 And when you're hitting 3433348338 329, I mean the OP, 883 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,280 the OPS neon base is only going to add up to, to not slugging 884 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,600 that are numbers that are either comparable or far exceeding Soto 885 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,480 in certain spots. That's all I'm saying. 886 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,960 And I could already see where this is going to go. 887 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,680 It's not to denigrate Soto, it's to contextualize where I believe 888 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,640 that he is. He is a terrific player. 889 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,760 He's the guy that you want up there, two on, two out. 890 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,440 He's got the confidence we used to have. 891 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,280 We used to have an expression. I'll read that a minute. 892 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,200 We used to have an expression on the show, me and Sal, the 893 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,720 sackometer. How big is your sack? 894 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,080 I don't know how it wants to say plain English. 895 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,960 We all know what that means. I mean, are you a 10 out of 10 896 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,720 on the sack scale? You know, are they dragging on 897 00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:26,840 the floor? You know, is the is the sack 898 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:27,960 scraping? Yeah. 899 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,560 Is it because I know when Soto gets up to hit the sack is 900 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,120 scraping. I know that. 901 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,960 All right. But it doesn't mean that he's 902 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,200 equal to some other people. That's all I'm saying. 903 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,240 And he he's a little different, a little better at certain 904 00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:43,920 things, far worse at other things. 905 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:49,120 And, you know, I, I I have to be the standard bearer for Major 906 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,000 League Baseball because if I don't, if I don't check some of 907 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,640 this stuff, it's going to go unchecked. 908 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,400 And a narrative. Oh, yeah, the, the generational 909 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,160 all time Juan Soto. Dude, you hit 265. 910 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:00,960 Two. Come on. 911 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:05,560 What are we talking about here? That's all I'm saying. 912 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,520 All right, let me get this guy up here at C6675. 913 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,840 Soto blows Judge out of the water in playoff stats. 914 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,040 That's fair. Listen, I don't I'm not talking 915 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,880 about clutch. I now now to be fair, I mean 916 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,800 last year to be really fair and I think more more accurate 917 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:26,360 updated OK, because before last year, I mean I wouldn't even 918 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,840 waste anybody's time. How did Aaron judge do in the 919 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,720 postseason Last year did pretty well right. 920 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,400 It was it was around him that did nothing and even started 921 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,840 showing some some signs in the the World Series with the 922 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,120 Dodgers a little bit last year was they also dropped the pop up 923 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,000 full blown Aaron Judge experience. 924 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,840 All right. And I mean, one of Juan Soto's 925 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,200 greatest traits is his clutch value. 926 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,920 But you won 83 games a year ago. I don't know if this is the year 927 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,960 to tout, you know, October prowess or you know, post season 928 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,720 accolades when year one with the Mets he didn't get there. 929 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,920 And and I know it's a team sport. 930 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,000 I get that. And the Mets pitching was awful 931 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,360 and Mendoza had a bad year, but there were and had some 932 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,360 injuries. But there were many times, 933 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,560 especially early in the year, where Juan Soto could have 934 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,160 delivered. And instead of winning, if he 935 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,000 would have, in typical Juan Soto, and I think he will this 936 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,560 year, But in typical Juan Soto fashion, you know, instead of 937 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,040 winning 83 games, maybe the Mets would have won 87 and maybe or 938 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,480 maybe 88. And that last series against the 939 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,320 Marlins would have mattered a whole hell of a lot more than it 940 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:30,800 did. And the only one who pitched 941 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,000 well in that series was Clay Holmes, you know what I mean? 942 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,360 So it would have been a different profile of the series. 943 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,880 And you can't tell me otherwise when your best players have 944 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:43,240 great seasons, All right, Great seasons, not really good seasons 945 00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:46,680 or not good seasons that look great statistically. 946 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:51,080 But the ebb and flow of of his early and and his inability to 947 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,720 which was confounding because he's always been great at this 948 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,080 hitting the clutch. Like that's a part of his 2025 949 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,360 season. It's a part of his 2025 resume. 950 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,840 If you choose to look at the total home runs and the stolen 951 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,320 bases, that's fine. To me, that's fluff because he's 952 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,120 not Ricky Henderson. He's not Lou Brock. 953 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,840 Lou Brock. Who cares how many bases he 954 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,920 steals when there's two out and it's the 8th inning and they got 955 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,800 their those are in and they're trying to get through this tough 956 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,880 part of the the of the lineup. And if they do, then it gets 957 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,680 easier like let's get through Lindor and so to impede those 958 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,600 guys. And if they do, then the the 959 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:26,800 opponent's going to win the game. 960 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,280 Well, Juan Soto had chances early in the year, many, and he 961 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,520 failed to come through and he wasn't alone. 962 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,200 He was not alone. I'm not trying to make this all 963 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,280 about him, but I mean, you know, so when he says again, I love 964 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,560 it, I think that he will get an MVP before it's all said and 965 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,000 done. If not wildly disappointing, he 966 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,360 should. And he still finished, you know, 967 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,640 very high a year ago had some other good finishes, but you got 968 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,200 to win one. I mean, if you want to be think 969 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,640 about this, you know, the the old time generational want Soto. 970 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,640 Imagine if he has no MVPS. I mean that, you know, that's 971 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,240 that's something that is going to be held against him, not in 972 00:49:01,240 --> 00:49:02,440 terms of being in the Hall of Fame. 973 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,680 Of course he's going to get in. But let's go at at Bronx NYY at 974 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,800 Bronx NY Yankee fan 23. It's got to be a little Donny 975 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,600 shout out and love it already. I see value batting average 976 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,240 because it does still lead to a high rope. 977 00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:17,680 Yeah, sure. If Ope would just hit two 50s 978 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,200 OPS would probably get to 750. Just saying it's all correlated. 979 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,840 There's no doubt about it. People want to point to I, I 980 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,360 agree with that, you know, now placing what degree of emphasis 981 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,800 just on that, you know, batting average. 982 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,840 Well, think I said this the other day, I think you know how 983 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,160 it came up. But if Luis Arayas was playing 984 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,600 in the 1980s, certainly the 60s or the 70s or the 80s and you 985 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,920 know, once the steroids start to pop and it would be different. 986 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,400 But even into the early 90s when maybe not everybody was taking 987 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,640 roids and mostly everybody the one who impune the integrity of 988 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:55,560 everybody, mostly everybody allegedly reportedly then I 989 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,760 think that somebody like Luis Arayas would be known as a as an 990 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,640 all time hitter. Like why would he be viewed 991 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:06,600 differently than Rod Carew? Now Rod's got over 3000 hits and 992 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,320 you know, Araya's is starting to, you know, some of those 993 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,760 numbers are a little bit diminished and the OPS is weak. 994 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,440 And I'm not saying he's Rod Crew, but if you look at Arise's 995 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,120 first couple of years when he won what I think it was three in 996 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,880 a row, I think it was back-to-back to back batting 997 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,040 titles, right, For three different teams. 998 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,720 I know he's got three, maybe 4, whatever was he was hitting 3:40 999 00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:30,840 every year with no strikeouts. Right now he doesn't walk. 1000 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,880 He's got no power. But we didn't talk about that 1001 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,680 back Rod Crew didn't have power up outside of a year or two. 1002 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,280 Wade Boggs didn't have any power. 1003 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:44,200 You know, Wade Boggs turned up the power in was that 80, I 1004 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,120 think it was 85 where he had like 25 or 26 home runs. 1005 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,960 But Wade Boggs is not a home run hitter. 1006 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:53,920 He just hit 343-5358 with his eyes shut, you know, so it's 1007 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,280 totally different at inside the MLB. 1008 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,840 You can have your true, that's true. 1009 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,240 You can have the sacks great and still not perform. 1010 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,920 I, I, I agree with that, especially in a sport that's 1011 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,240 rooted in failure. The point is, if you're walking 1012 00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:15,440 to home plate and you've got, let's say you get 700 at bats 1013 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,960 over the course of a year, and every time you're striding up 1014 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,800 the home plate, that sack is scraping up against the dirt and 1015 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,920 the grass and the on deck circle, you're going to have 1016 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,600 more success than the guy who's sack is not scraping 700 at 1017 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,080 bats. That doesn't mean that you're 1018 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,960 not going to have a post season where you hit 190, but you're 1019 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,280 not failing because the moment's too big for you. 1020 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,840 You're failing because there's a randomness and an incredibly 1021 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,240 high degree of difficulty unlike any other sport report that we 1022 00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:44,560 watch. So but, but, but I hear you. 1023 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,040 I, I, I know what you mean. Add Omar under score Yousef. 1024 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,720 Oh, what's going on, buddy? The league average, batting 1025 00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:53,520 average or the league average BA this decade is around 2:45. 1026 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,600 In 2000 it was 270. For context, in 2000 we had 53 1027 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,920 guys hit 300. The last couple of years we've 1028 00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:02,480 had about 40 guys each year just bat 270. 1029 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,440 No, I am well aware. Like I remember, you know, 1030 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,720 getting the newspapers back in the day and seeing all the 1031 00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:12,280 league leaders, whether it was a Bill Matlock in the NL or a 1032 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,040 Boggs or a Carew or a Gwynn, guys like that. 1033 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,680 Like those guys would be hitting 343-5358. 1034 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,920 You know, Gwynn even hire some situations, but you had a ton of 1035 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,640 guys that would yeah, I don't know the number off the top of 1036 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,360 my head, but it seemed like there were 30 guys ish that hit, 1037 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,800 you know, 300. A lot of guys three O 1 three 1038 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,240 and just incrementally work up. No, the whole game has changed 1039 00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:37,120 and I'm not here. I'm not here to change the game. 1040 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,240 Again, this conversations about what Juan Soto said about the 1041 00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:43,600 MVP and you know, kind of a message to Altani, which I 1042 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,800 respect. I like that that that's why he's 1043 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,400 got a massive sack again, the sack Ometer Soto's 10 out of 10. 1044 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,880 We should have had that trademarked man, the sack Ometer 1045 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,400 the the ability to do what he does is is is amazing. 1046 00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:01,240 But if you're not going to hit 300, which he doesn't anymore, 1047 00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:04,920 and he hasn't for half a decade, well then if you want to win an 1048 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,640 MVP, you can't hit forty home runs. 1049 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,760 You got to hit mid 50s and you got to have an OPS in the 1050 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,920 territory of a Judge or a Soto apart me, a Judge or an Otani, 1051 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,280 which he never does. That's all I'm saying. 1052 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,160 Listen, I understand that once J Rod makes the shorts, I could 1053 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,040 already promise you what's coming. 1054 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,360 There's going to come the shade for the Mets fan. 1055 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,960 There's going to come the shade from the fan who didn't listen 1056 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,880 to the entire conversation. If you listen to this entire 1057 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,960 conversation, you can not contest the fact that I have 1058 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,960 that I have been fair to Soto and why wouldn't I be that I 1059 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,920 respect Soto that I think he's terrific at many things, but my 1060 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,800 standard might just be a little bit higher than some others. 1061 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,400 I mean, if you're happy and I know you're not, so I'd say it 1062 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:51,320 sarcastically. If you're happy with with the 1063 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:56,000 final numbers this year against one, make it hold on with, you 1064 00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:03,160 know, a 971 OPS or 921, which is really, really good if you're 1065 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,720 happy with that. OK, I'll tell you what. 1066 00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:08,560 If Aaron Judge has an OPS at 9:20 this year, I'm saying Aaron 1067 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,240 Judge didn't have the same season that I thought he was 1068 00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:12,880 going to have because when Aaron Judge is clicking, Aaron Judge 1069 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,640 is over 1100 minimum. I mean, bad season. 1070 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,360 Aaron Judge, you know, 1050 OPS 920. 1071 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:22,720 Not for that contract. I'm sorry. 1072 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,160 All right, J Rod, did I miss anything there? 1073 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:27,360 Hold on. I keep that up there. 1074 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,160 You know, hold on. I'm out. 1075 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,280 This convo ain't it more Oh, more low key Mets trolling. 1076 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,200 You see, let's see if he's actually out. 1077 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,320 I don't I don't really know if he said he's out. 1078 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,480 So this is a person. I don't know if it's a it's a 1079 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:46,120 man or a woman, but this is a person who simply cannot deal 1080 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,920 with the reality of an honest conversation. 1081 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,400 All right, let let me let me let everybody in on a little secret 1082 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,040 that you should probably know by now. 1083 00:54:55,600 --> 00:55:00,080 I'm not a sycophant. I am not you know, I I am AI 1084 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,320 don't have even though I've got a man cave, but I I don't have 1085 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,640 Don Mattingly posters over my bedroom upstairs. 1086 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,320 OK, I don't have little trophies like I used to have in my 1087 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,480 bedroom growing up over our bed upstairs. 1088 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,880 I don't have that. I'm a grown man who knows the 1089 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:22,840 sport, knows it better than most, trust me, and has I guess 1090 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:26,200 the ability to separate multiple things and give it to you the 1091 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,880 way it really is. So if you construe that as 1092 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,240 trolling, I think that's a you problem. 1093 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,040 That's not a me thing. That's a you thing. 1094 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,920 That's you hearing what you want to hear. 1095 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,880 That's maybe you being predisposed to some energy that 1096 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,760 you thought I was admitting back in the day. 1097 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,880 And you're not able to cross the bridge and separate that and 1098 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:52,160 actually hear what I'm saying. Because you know, not not not no 1099 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,600 more flex here, but a lot of those things that you didn't 1100 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,720 like that I was saying came true now, not the Lendore stuff. 1101 00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:01,440 I was dead wrong on that. And I own it and I laugh at 1102 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,600 myself and you have to I mean, jeez, but Pete gone, Nimbo gone. 1103 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,480 I mean a lot of guys gone, you know, talking about that Mets 1104 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,680 core. So what you perceive to be a 1105 00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:15,200 troll, it's my reality and it's also the Mets reality. 1106 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,600 So if you can't handle that, then I don't need you here. 1107 00:56:17,720 --> 00:56:19,560 Goodbye. I mean, I don't want I don't 1108 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,480 want people that are that soft and that unable to have big boy 1109 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,120 discussions. I don't need that. 1110 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,560 This isn't college radio. You know what I'm saying? 1111 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,760 This isn't like a message board where everybody, it's it's group 1112 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,840 think. I don't want you to think what I 1113 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,600 think because that's a boring show. 1114 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,200 I would actually like you. I'm going to take something 1115 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,080 back. I would like you to hang around 1116 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,080 and actually challenge me rather than just duck out and say up 1117 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,360 sounds like a troll job. I'm I'm I'm going to leave. 1118 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,440 Well, what what's troll? What did I say? 1119 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,400 What is troll Some about that nothing. 1120 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,040 You just have thin skin again, that's a you thing, not a me 1121 00:56:54,040 --> 00:57:01,000 thing at OGOGOG Jake 99, hopefully thank you for that OG 1122 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,480 now just with the OG moniker, I would have to think no, keep it 1123 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:05,120 up. I got to read it. 1124 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:06,920 I got to read that Jay. I got to give him some love on 1125 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,960 that super chat, man. Here we go. 1126 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,920 Give a little longer than usual. I mean, you throw a super chat 1127 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,120 up there, you getting some real love. 1128 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:19,520 Soto's got the one stat above judge that really matters. 1129 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,560 He's a Fall Classic hero and he's got the West, that's true. 1130 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,200 But he doesn't have it as a Met, nor did he get it as a Yankee. 1131 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,720 Now, I'm not saying it's it's his fault. 1132 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,760 He is a World Series champion. There's no doubt about it. 1133 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,920 No doubt Ogi got it. Who's better? 1134 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,320 Who's better? Let me ask you this. 1135 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,080 Now, I know it's not an apples to apples thing because Aaron's 1136 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,360 getting up there at age. He's what, 34 and Judges? 1137 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,440 So do I think it's 26 or is he 26 or 27? 1138 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,160 I think he's either way 26 or 27. 1139 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,160 So he's got a long way to go before he gets up to Aaron 1140 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,080 Judge's age. So I'm not going to sit here and 1141 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,400 say for the next 10 years, who would you take? 1142 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,520 But I will frame it this way. Next three years, who would you 1143 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,600 take? I know I'm taking I'm taking 1144 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,480 Aaron Judge and everybody in baseball, unless you are a 1145 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:15,240 childish and I don't mean you OG a childish sycophant who just 1146 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,160 cannot separate the met Yankee thing. 1147 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,680 Whatever.

If you elect not to do that 1183 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,640 because you're happy that he picked the Mets over the Yankees 1184 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,400 that do whatever you want, I'm just telling you what I do and 1185 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,720 what I would do and what I did do when I found out that he was 1186 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,840 going to be a Met.

I really don't know. 1204 01:02:09,900 --> 01:02:13,060 I mean, I understand that there's, there's a lot of shit 1205 01:02:13,060 --> 01:02:16,660 going on here. I've got you know, 9 microphones 1206 01:02:16,660 --> 01:02:20,120 and cameras and stuff, but it shouldn't happen. 1207 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,880 I don't know why it does. As I started to say now it says 1208 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,080 that my battery is low. Who knows how long I got here. 1209 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,040 So I want to I want to bang through some stuff and then 1210 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:28,640 finish this up just I got to plow through. 1211 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:29,680 There's nothing I can do right now. 1212 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,320 All right, so the content I've got the Yankee lot up there that 1213 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,760 is up on on the YouTube channel. I was going to ask J Rod if he 1214 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,160 still had that anywhere visible if he could actually get that up 1215 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,680 on the screen. I didn't tell him this before 1216 01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,400 the show. So if he doesn't have it ready, 1217 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,680 it's not a big deal. J Rod, if you actually can find 1218 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,200 it kind of quick so I can let the Mets fan know what I've got 1219 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:48,760 coming to do in. Like 10 seconds. 1220 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,680 I got you not all good. 10 seconds, all good. 1221 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,840 So what I did was I'm just building out a roster, a lineup 1222 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,400 one through 9, yes, and I'm counting some defense post 1980, 1223 01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,240 which is when I really started watching baseball. 1224 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:00,840 I did it for the Mets. Pardon me. 1225 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,560 I did it for the Yankees. I'm in the process of doing it 1226 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,440 for the Mets. I've got all the graphics built 1227 01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,040 out. I'm going to drop it this 1228 01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,960 weekend coming up as a nice, you know, little kick start to the 1229 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,120 season here. I've got something on the Big 1230 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:17,000 East, my old time Big East team as well, encompassing the entire 1231 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:21,040 history which started in 1970 9 for the Big East and this is 1232 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,040 content that I will drop on this channel. 1233 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,040 You know, in addition to obviously going live every day 1234 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,320 at 10. Still, some things I got to work 1235 01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,960 out clearly. J Rod, if you found it, let me 1236 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:31,680 know. If not, I'll just. 1237 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:32,920 Get to the other. I'm going toss it up. 1238 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,840 Yeah, you just load in real. Quick, I got you and again then 1239 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,200 then after that I want to make OK, so this so this was the 1240 01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,440 lineup for the Yankees, right? And a lot of you took issue with 1241 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,920 me not having Reggie Jackson on there. 1242 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,800 But to me, I'm going greatest little hitter in the history of 1243 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,680 baseball. I got Jeter, high average, high 1244 01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:50,960 IQ, a lot of contact in the 2 hole. 1245 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,760 I got vintage prime Mattingly who not only won the MVP and 85, 1246 01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:59,360 but in route to 146 RBI, struck out 41 times. 1247 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,840 I mean as good as Aaron Judges and he's as good as I've ever 1248 01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,720 seen. I mean, imagine if Judge struck 1249 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,680 out 41 times this year. My God. 1250 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,920 Aaron Judge in the four spot, a rod. 1251 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,360 The great Alex Rodriguez batting 5th playing third. 1252 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,880 I got the switch hit. And Bernie in center, he's got a 1253 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,880 bat. 6 Winnie, the DH7 spot, Jorge switch hit and catcher 1254 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,840 with POP5 Silver Sluggers in the 8 hole. 1255 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,160 And what do you know? Little Robbie Cano in the 9 hole 1256 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,080 playing second base. Thought about Willie for a 1257 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:26,920 second. Did not think about Chuck 1258 01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,360 Noblock. Obviously no O'Neil. 1259 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,840 No Matsui, no Mark to share on, no Tino Tina. 1260 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,960 So obviously going to be some omissions. 1261 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,160 We could get that down. J Roth, thank you very much, my 1262 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,240 man. And now as I build out the 1263 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,400 graphics I have built out, I want to tweak. 1264 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,800 I want to give one more look. And I'm not going to flash 1265 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,480 anything up now because it's going to drop this weekend. 1266 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:51,120 Coming up to the old time Mets lineup, one through 9 post 1980. 1267 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,160 And I think you guys will love this. 1268 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:54,760 And then we'll do the Big East one, as I said. 1269 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,400 And then again, you know, once a week, whether it's my top ten 1270 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,400 sneakers of all time, my top ten albums of all time, my top 10 1271 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,480 sitcoms of all time, my top 10 Sopranos characters of all time. 1272 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,040 This is just a way shorter hits, more content, connect a little 1273 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,880 bit and and do some more things that build out the channel. 1274 01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,200 All right, let me get this up here now, because I don't know 1275 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:15,880 if this thing's going to die anytime soon. 1276 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:17,320 I don't know. I want to make sure we get it up 1277 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,040 a little NFL draft. This is I want to make sure 1278 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:21,520 everybody knows where this is from. 1279 01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,120 This is from Mel Kiper. All right, who? 1280 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:25,720 All right, you know, take it for what it's worth. 1281 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,120 I, I think Mel's very good at his job in terms of monetizing 1282 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,920 this more than anybody else in the history of, of, of drafting 1283 01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,400 or mocks or scouting would. I mean, he's a legend man. 1284 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:40,360 And Mel, Mel's great and he presents himself really well. 1285 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,720 You know, he's wrong on a lot of stuff, but we all are. 1286 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:48,680 This is his updated mock draft, the top 10 going into the 1287 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,320 combine, which is obviously beginning this week. 1288 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,800 OK, no surprise with Mendoza #1 quarterback. 1289 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,680 Now, if this were to happen, I think The Jets would get roundly 1290 01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,440 criticized. I would love this. 1291 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,720 I've been telling you guys for a while, I want Caleb Downs. 1292 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,720 I don't care that he's a safety. I don't care that the last time 1293 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,040 the safety went second overall was back in 1991. 1294 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,320 I don't care. That's how much I love downs. 1295 01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,680 And I'll tell you this right now, if The Jets don't take him 1296 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,240 at two, you better believe that Horrible is going to take him at 1297 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,320 5:00. So I like that you got the 1298 01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,560 Cardinals and David Bailey, outside linebacker, Texas Tech. 1299 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,840 Some people like him better than Ruben Baines. 1300 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,880 We'll get to him as well. Arvel Reese, who has been most 1301 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,920 intimately connected to The Jets at #2 And I like him. 1302 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,160 I don't love him at #2 I really don't. 1303 01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,960 So if he goes to the Titans at 4, I'm fine with that. 1304 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,040 I do think the Giants if if downs is there. 1305 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,440 I think that makes sense. I think the Giants, some of you 1306 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,680 want a wide receiver because Malik Neighbors is not fully 1307 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:51,360 healthy yet. Listen, if I'm not going to sit 1308 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,520 here and say that I've seen Fano or Fano play a ton as an 1309 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,560 offensive tackle for the Utah Utes But if they identify and he 1310 01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,680 is thought to be for sure the best offensive lineman, and I'm 1311 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:06,080 OK, Just like just from a position, from a philosophy, if 1312 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,640 the Giants were to go offensive tackle and they get it right at 1313 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:12,080 #5 I think that's a big win. You know, the Browns and #6 1314 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,760 Cornell Tate, wide receiver house. 1315 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,200 I mean, and then you look at Sonny Styles and this would be 1316 01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:21,160 and if this happens, even if he goes 6 whatever and Tate go 7, 1317 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,280 the commanders having Styles here, at least according to Mel 1318 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,600 Kuiper. If that were the case, that 1319 01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:30,240 would be the first time that four players ever from the Saint 1320 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,400 at least as far back as this traces. 1321 01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:36,560 The research people have done have gone in the for the 1st 7 1322 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:40,240 picks in the NFL draft. Same school Sony Styles is 1323 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,760 terrific. Linebacker, Lemon, wide 1324 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,760 receiver, USC, there's a lot. It's a very good wide receiver 1325 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:47,480 draft. He's going to the Saints 1326 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,920 according to Mel. I would be OK with this. 1327 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,080 Listen, I think that a running back is early here. 1328 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,560 Jeremiah love #1 is very different. 1329 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,040 He's at Notre Dame. It's a very weak running back 1330 01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:00,040 crop. The Chiefs are thought to number 1331 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,360 one. They tried to trade for Breeze 1332 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,120 Hall. They couldn't get him for a 1333 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:04,680 fourth round pick, smartly moved. 1334 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,240 He didn't flinch. I think you're going to get, I 1335 01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,720 think Breeze is going to stay. I think he's either going to get 1336 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,440 that transition tag for $11.7 million. 1337 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,439 I don't think he gets the full tag myself at 14 change. 1338 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,319 Ideally you slap A tag on him, you work out a deal three years, 1339 01:08:20,319 --> 01:08:24,479 30 mil, three years, 31, three years, 32 in the neighborhood of 1340 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,680 about $10 million a year. I and I said this the other day, 1341 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,960 I really hope that Hall stays with The Jets and I think he 1342 01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,840 will. But because the chiefs need a 1343 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,760 running back. I think love makes some sense 1344 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,680 there. And then this would I'll tell 1345 01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,720 you this would represent a fairly precipitous drop by by 1346 01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:42,760 Ruben Bain. You think about the national 1347 01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,120 championship game, we're sitting there and I remember tweeting as 1348 01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:46,960 well. I'm like, hey, I'd be OK with 1349 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,560 watching Ruben Bayne, you know, go off the board at #2 for The 1350 01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,399 Jets. The research I've done since I 1351 01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:55,240 really, I like Ruben Bayne. He's obviously going to go top 1352 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:58,520 ten, top 12. I mean, Judy could go top seven. 1353 01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,080 I don't want him for The Jets. And now you get to it. 1354 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,040 It's not only keep this up there, J Rod, please. 1355 01:09:03,319 --> 01:09:07,399 It's not up on the board. However, I think there's a 1356 01:09:07,399 --> 01:09:10,399 really good chance The Jets go defense defense, and that's 1357 01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:12,120 something I've been espousing for a while. 1358 01:09:12,399 --> 01:09:15,399 I am totally fine. I know many of you. 1359 01:09:15,399 --> 01:09:18,800 You want that wide receiver, you want that splash offensive 1360 01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,920 position, you want all that stuff. 1361 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,279 I get it. But the way you build out a real 1362 01:09:23,279 --> 01:09:26,200 team is to have an old line, which The Jets do, especially if 1363 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,399 they retain ABT on a on a pretty team friendly deal. 1364 01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,040 And then the other thing you do is you build out the defense and 1365 01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:37,120 The Jets defense was hideous. It was deployed horribly bad, so 1366 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,160 I don't know if they're going to go defense defense. 1367 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,800 Mel thinks that they will. I hope that they do and I'm open 1368 01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,120 to it and there you are so Mendoza Caleb Downs, David 1369 01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,600 Bailey Reese going defense there and then obviously Giants going 1370 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,720 some old line some other defensive players in there. 1371 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,400 The one running back. It is a weak running back draft. 1372 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,240 It is a strong wide receiver draft. 1373 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,400 It's a pretty good offensive interior, not not for the guards 1374 01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,480 for tackles. There's some good old lineman. 1375 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,640 It's a really weak quarterback draft outside of Simpson, 1376 01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,800 there's nobody and I'm you know, you can make the case whether or 1377 01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,320 not Simpsons worthy of a first round grade. 1378 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,400 I believe that he is many of you don't. 1379 01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:16,520 But outside of Mendoza, I mean, nobody if if Simpson doesn't go 1380 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,840 first round, no other quarterback is going first 1381 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:20,400 round. So, you know, listen, we're 1382 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,520 going to start getting those juices going. 1383 01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:25,360 Draft is around the corner. I told you guys, we got some 1384 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,040 sick. Really, really can't divulge 1385 01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:29,760 what yet. Still, you know, wrapping up 1386 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:33,520 some of the details with a contract, blah, blah, blah, But 1387 01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,400 we are, we are getting ready to do some massive stuff here for 1388 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:40,240 the draft with a massive company and a great ambassador for the 1389 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,440 game, which will be huge for our show, which will be awesome. 1390 01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:46,840 So with that being said, I keep looking up and I'm seeing a 1391 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,560 little sliver of red on my laptop. 1392 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,720 That can't be good. That means it's starting to 1393 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,280 crash out a little bit. I really enjoyed the Soto stuff. 1394 01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,840 I really enjoyed the Pete stuff. Just a little taste there. 1395 01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,880 Wet the whistle, NFL draft, J Rod, anything for me. 1396 01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,200 Did I miss anything? Is there a text up there that 1397 01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,000 you want to throw up? Here's a Here's a good text. 1398 01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:11,160 Are we doing movie breakdowns by or versus J Rod? 1399 01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,880 Meaning what? I compile like my top five, and 1400 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:18,560 then you give me your top five and then yeah, I guess it's kind 1401 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:22,200 of like Booms and Sal, dude. I guess they're like drafts. 1402 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,200 Yeah, like they do like movie draft. 1403 01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:25,760 Or, well, we can't do what they're doing. 1404 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,880 Exactly, Exactly. By the way, I saw Sal talking 1405 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,880 about the Carl Banks situation. The Oh my. 1406 01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,240 So what's funny? I watched that clip. 1407 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,440 I had never seen the original before. 1408 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,160 Jeez. And then I watched it. 1409 01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:41,080 Oh my dude, was that nuts or what? 1410 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:42,000 Man, that. Was. 1411 01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:45,480 I mean, that was insane. The truth of the matter is, and 1412 01:11:45,480 --> 01:11:47,760 and I mean, of course I was in the room when it happened and I 1413 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,880 was part of it. So I don't need to watch the 1414 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,280 video again. Yeah, but I I, I didn't. 1415 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:53,280 And I wasn't even looking for it. 1416 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,400 I, I saw some stuff. I'm like, oh, oh, Sal talking 1417 01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:57,520 about Carl Banks. Let me let me flip it on for a 1418 01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,280 SEC. Give my my partner some love 1419 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,520 there. And you know, he said something 1420 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,040 that I thought was pretty interesting, right? 1421 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,560 And this was similar to me with Paul O'Neill. 1422 01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,440 Like sometimes you got to defend the show. 1423 01:12:07,480 --> 01:12:10,360 And we both agree with that. So we were both in in in 1424 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,480 lockstep with that. But what he said that really, 1425 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,160 and I didn't think about this in real time, was that we weren't 1426 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,000 ready as a show. We weren't elevated. 1427 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,000 We didn't have the chemistry amongst each other. 1428 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,760 We didn't have the trust in the rapport with the audience, which 1429 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:25,280 we ultimately got toward the end. 1430 01:12:25,440 --> 01:12:28,120 I'd say the last year or so, we were just starting out. 1431 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,480 So like, you know, the old wrestling term heat, like, I've 1432 01:12:31,480 --> 01:12:34,400 got no problem with heat, but you got to be ready to deal with 1433 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,960 the heat. And we were not ready as a show 1434 01:12:37,440 --> 01:12:39,760 to deal with the heat. Not that we were afraid of it, 1435 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,680 but it just, I think it hurt us. And I, so I, I agree with that 1436 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,120 assertion. He said that yesterday. 1437 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,800 I agree. And I'll never forget, man, I 1438 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,800 remember calling him up because it was in the newspaper. 1439 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,800 It was everywhere. And I remember wherever Jen was 1440 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,560 with the kids, I may be going to get food or I, I don't know. 1441 01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:01,920 And I, I said had a long day, really long day, long two days. 1442 01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,200 But this was the first day actually a really long week with 1443 01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,200 that. And I remember going outside. 1444 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,640 Yeah, I've got my fire pit that I often talk about that's like 1445 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,760 the winter fire pit. But on my deck I've got like a, 1446 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,120 a propane one, but that that's less for heat and more for 1447 01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,320 aesthetics. So it's, it's early, it's 1448 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,680 obviously early in the season and it's warm out. 1449 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,080 And I'm sitting there and I got my foot up on the thing and I'm 1450 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,080 sipping a, a Scotch and I got a call. 1451 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,400 Sal man, it's getting out of hand, you know, and I and I, I 1452 01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,480 know him, but I don't really know him too well yet. 1453 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:32,640 And I remember called, but he was at a restaurant. 1454 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:33,920 He was at a restaurant with his wife. 1455 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:35,760 I think his daughter was, I think pretty sure Stanley was 1456 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,440 there. And I'm just like, dude, I got 1457 01:13:37,440 --> 01:13:39,480 you back, man. Like it's, it's really US 1458 01:13:39,480 --> 01:13:42,440 against the world is what it is. It's US against the everybody's 1459 01:13:42,440 --> 01:13:44,800 against us. It's a bad look for us. 1460 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:49,080 Like, you know, it's, it's very, I never liked being the source 1461 01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,320 of stories that were written. I don't mean like, hey, if the 1462 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,000 show's doing well or hey, they, they were voted #2 in the 1463 01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,120 country. I love those stories. 1464 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,960 But you know, like when there's a story about me getting thrown 1465 01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:02,960 out of a Little League game or BT and Sal having a fight with 1466 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:06,640 Carl or BT saying, hanging up on Paul O'Neill. 1467 01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,360 Those are stories that I'd rather do without. 1468 01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,200 But that was, that was freaking wild, man. 1469 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:16,440 And that was in our infancy. God almighty, that was crazy 1470 01:14:16,440 --> 01:14:17,760 shit. And one thing that I really 1471 01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:22,400 appreciated, you know, who had our back big time was Spike. 1472 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:26,800 Spike absolutely 100% had our back. 1473 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,240 Because the only thing that I was a little worried about, not 1474 01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:32,640 like the coals or the tax or even the heat or the smoke 1475 01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,120 online, whatever, that's imaginary world that means 1476 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:37,760 nothing to me. I was worried because I was only 1477 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,160 on WFAN at that point for about a year and a half, right? 1478 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,640 I was worried. I'm like, man, did we just mess 1479 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,360 this up? Because Carl also calls the 1480 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,680 Giant games. It's not like it's not like he's 1481 01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:52,200 just a former giant. He's also, he's a former giant 1482 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:56,320 who's a world a world champion Super Bowl, but also part of the 1483 01:14:56,320 --> 01:15:00,520 giant broadcast and part of WFANS team where we were paying 1484 01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,440 him to come on the show. Oh my gosh, yeah. 1485 01:15:03,440 --> 01:15:05,480 So I'm like, and I don't really know. 1486 01:15:05,480 --> 01:15:07,720 Spike in, I mean, he he brought me over. 1487 01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:11,320 I know him enough, but it was the first massive flare up and 1488 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,640 it was a huge one. I'm like, is this guy going to 1489 01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,320 have her back? And I just remember him saying I 1490 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:16,480 got your back, but were you good? 1491 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:20,480 And man, I can't tell you how much we how much we appreciated 1492 01:15:20,480 --> 01:15:24,200 that it was it was outraged. That's BT and South for you, you 1493 01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:27,400 know, Coming correct, coming hard, coming strong, you know. 1494 01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:29,480 Yes, Sir. So all good, all right? 1495 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:31,960 Any other texts? Anything else I need to know? 1496 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:38,280 Not seeing anything so far. Let's see. 1497 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:40,320 Let's see by the way. You notice it from. 1498 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,200 Here, hold on. You notice there's no light 1499 01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,640 banging off. The yeah, wait, I saw a comment 1500 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,840 about that too, that they're liking it. 1501 01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:48,480 They're liking the new light. It's looking. 1502 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,800 It's like much less reflective, much less glare going down. 1503 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,800 Yeah, but it's not it's it's I'd like to take credit for it now. 1504 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,880 First of all, thank you. I didn't do anything. 1505 01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:01,880 The difference is, is that the the sun is is reflecting 1506 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,120 differently. I don't know why. 1507 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,040 Maybe you know what, I'll tell you what it is. 1508 01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,480 Now that I think about it, I don't know. 1509 01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:10,920 Is refracting the right word? I think so. 1510 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:15,480 I think it might be off the snow like it's, it's a different, 1511 01:16:15,480 --> 01:16:17,880 it's, it's softening it maybe no. 1512 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:18,680 That makes sense. It's. 1513 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,320 Almost like the snow outside is creating this matte MATTE. 1514 01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,120 This matte like background for the for the logo anyway. 1515 01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:27,880 What was that last text? Then I'm going to get bounced. 1516 01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:30,920 Blank. Your couch says those are 1517 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,800 classics now talking about all the all the videos, all the 1518 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,840 clip, the classic clips. They are. 1519 01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:40,160 I mean, listen here, here's the way I look at it and it it's not 1520 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,560 all going to be great. But you know, how do you make a 1521 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,600 mark as a show now? You don't go in there and we 1522 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,080 didn't go in there saying, oh, you know, we're going to land 1523 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,720 base Carl, you know, but we were ready because Carl was was not 1524 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,320 really giving us a lot of stuff. And, you know, both teams 1525 01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:56,400 sucked. And we were talking about Kayvon 1526 01:16:56,400 --> 01:17:00,000 Thibodeau and that was a real source of, you know, contention 1527 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,160 and consternation for us because we're like, alright, we get 1528 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:04,880 dread the 5th overall. Let me see whatever it was. 1529 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,480 Let me see what you got and then let me see some plays here. 1530 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:09,680 And we we both felt that. Yeah. 1531 01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,600 Not to drudge it back up because I love Carl, but you know, that 1532 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,920 he was being a little evasive and he kind of can't call, came 1533 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,240 in aggressively. I forget what he said something 1534 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,520 to me about. I think I'm a Jets fan. 1535 01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,240 Like, like basically minimizing my ability to spend. 1536 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,160 I didn't appreciate. That it was like, I just didn't. 1537 01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,640 He was like your audience. It was like, you say these 1538 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,720 things like to your audience. Audience, that's what. 1539 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:33,200 Yes, it was so interesting. He was getting preachy, like 1540 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,280 don't preach to us, man. We're going to show, we're going 1541 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:37,520 to show you respect. And, and, and you know, and, and 1542 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:41,200 I like Sal has a, a fine relationship with, with Carl, 1543 01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,760 but I'm actually friends with, I've been friends with Carl for 1544 01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,160 20 years. So I'm sitting, so I'm, you 1545 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,520 know, maybe I'm processing it a little bit like if I didn't know 1546 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,920 him at all, maybe I would have been like, hang up on him. 1547 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:52,560 Like enough of this shit, you know? 1548 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:55,880 But when he started saying that stuff, I'm like, no, now, now 1549 01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,560 you can't have this dude. You're not coming on the show. 1550 01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:00,680 You can't lecture. You can't tell us what to do. 1551 01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:04,680 You can't talk down to us. You're we we all know you're on 1552 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,480 the show because you forgot more football than any one of us 1553 01:18:08,480 --> 01:18:12,360 combined knows. It's your job to tell us what 1554 01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,760 you're seeing and instead you kind of coming in and telling us 1555 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,000 how to do the show. So it got off the rails there 1556 01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,440 quick. But I think that any show at any 1557 01:18:20,440 --> 01:18:24,240 station, if you can't look back, here's how you know, here's how 1558 01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,520 you know BT and Sal was money. Here's how you know if you can't 1559 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:28,920 look back. I'm not going to name names, but 1560 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,080 there's a lot of them. If you can't look back at a show 1561 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,320 and say, dude, remember when so and so did this? 1562 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,000 Remember when so and so happened on BT and Sal? 1563 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,960 Do do you remember the time on BT and Sal? 1564 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,760 I mean, you could say that a million times on BT and Sal. 1565 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,240 So to me that's the mark of a success of a successful show. 1566 01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:51,520 Anyway, I love Carl, I think Sal's coming on Unleash this 1567 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:52,720 week.
