Mark DeRosa's viral comments, Team USA's WBC fate on the line

00:00:01
Speaker 1: Charger Mound is presented by Fox Won. That's where you can catch the drama that is going down this evening.

00:00:13
Speaker 2: Team USA is Italian. Now, aj you're all in spaghetti and meatballs for life. Baby.

00:00:21
Speaker 1: You need Team Italy to win and then you can cruise to the next spot. But they are not in control of their own destiny. Why because they lost. They were getting crushed eight nothing. And then during the game, a viral quote from an MLB network show that had Mark de Rosa on it went freaking wild as people were questioning some of the decisions that he made in the game.

00:00:46
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, can you explain this?

00:00:51
Speaker 3: I know if Italy wins USA is in correct, but the other one that can you explain it is because I've read it different in different places. If Mexico has to win by five runs or they have to score five runs to knock the US out, no, either way, So they have to win by five runs.

00:01:11
Speaker 4: No, if they score five runs. If they score five runs or more, US is in because that means Italy gave up more runs than per.

00:01:20
Speaker 3: Inning, per out, per out right per out Yes, okay, so then and then my question would be is if you're Italy and you can never do this, but I mean you got to hold them down, right, like you gotta. You're like, hey, guys, don't score too many on us. Yeah, it's so weird, it's so cringey to even think about, but it's it's interesting because this was supposed to be the greatest team USA has ever assembled in one bad night by h Noelan McLain and Ryan Yarborough and next thing you know, they can't. The worst part is they have know saying this. They just sit there and watch the game, so they are rooting for Italy to win or Mexico to win four to one, three to one, two to one. It just it's a it's a weird dynamic. And I'm gonna let crowds go before we get into the Mark de Rosa stuff because it's just this whole this, this is not.

00:02:18
Speaker 5: The way it was supposed to go.

00:02:19
Speaker 3: And I read Ken's articles Price Ken on The Athletic this morning, and he's right, this is not They shouldn't be in the situation. And yes, you can question the lineup things, you can question this, but it kind of goes back to what we talked about at the beginning. They got kind of caught with a couple of pitching decisions because of the way they had to line guys up.

00:02:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, you had you had NOA mcclan going before this tournament ever even started. But you also have NOA McClain going in the finals if US is able to make it to the finals. So that was a predetermined decision. That's That's not all on the Rosa. But the whole time, all we've heard is the fact that it's a vibe. You know, we got the captain, we got Aaron Judge. He's been talking about these guys. You know, everybody's on board. You know, I've never seen such a together group. All things that are not anything to do with walking once in the game, giving up home runs to Jack Caglione and the six, seven, eight, nine hitters for UH for Italy, or the fact that they brought Yarborough, none of that has It's all been talked about.

00:03:23
Speaker 2: Vibe Vibe, Vibe vibe.

00:03:25
Speaker 4: And then dro comes on to the show and says exactly what AJ. So, AJ and d Row are completely on board with each other. This is the first time I've ever been able to say that because they both thought the game was just an exhibition and it really didn't matter who won.

00:03:46
Speaker 5: Wait whoa, whoa whoa? Wait what hold on? No, no, no, no wait you said it's no well I did not.

00:03:52
Speaker 3: I said the tournament is an exhibition. It's not the World Series. What dro said was that he got he spoke, knew that they had to win, but he misspoke because he got what holda? Anyways, by the way, you're talking about team Italy before we dig into the d ro thing. You know who beat the US last night a couple of white socks and an ex Gator. So I mean, if there's one way to go, at least you're going down to the White Sox and some gators. Is ever the ones who hit the homers.

00:04:28
Speaker 1: Let's get to the clip that went ultra viral before the game.

00:04:35
Speaker 2: A ton of respect for Italy. It's it's weird. We want to win.

00:04:38
Speaker 6: We want to win this game, even though our tickets punched at a quarterfinals because Mexico plays Italy actually tomorrow. So this the way the way the schedule lines up, this is an important game for US.

00:04:52
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:04:53
Speaker 1: And then after the game he said, hmm, he misspoke, like he knew what was going on. Did they also know the run scoring scenarios that were going on. I know they're confusing, but if you're at the tournament, you should be super dialed into all of that stuff.

00:05:09
Speaker 2: Why was Bryce Harper sitting?

00:05:12
Speaker 1: There's others that I think you could make more of a debate against, Like, Okay, you're sitting Alex Bregman for Gunner Henderson. Gunner Henderson's really damn good too. Ernie Clement was a postseason freaking superstar. He's playing instead of Bryce Terrain right then Terrain enters later in the game.

00:05:32
Speaker 2: You can at least make some debates there.

00:05:34
Speaker 1: For me, I don't think you can make a Harper versus Goldschmidt debate in any case at this point in their careers. And I actually was under the impression that Goldie was added as I think the last position player because he would be one of the few position players that understood he might only.

00:05:49
Speaker 2: Get an at bat or two. It must win games.

00:05:53
Speaker 1: They had to tune ups, which are still important. You can't get upset by Brazil or Great Britain, and then you have must win games against Mexico and Italy.

00:06:02
Speaker 2: Why is Bryce Harper not starting? Bryce Harper? And then if you're d row and he says, oh, well, you know, the guys that.

00:06:12
Speaker 1: I put in hit and I wanted to get the other guys warmed up for later in the tournament. I mean, you might not be in the tournament after today. So it's not like Goldsman had a bad game, AJ But like what if Bryce Harper had the game of his life and had two homers or something. We're never gonna know, but do or die game for the entire tournament. Like that's how you have to look at you last night. Do you want Bryce Harper or Paul Goldsmith in a big spot at this point in their careers.

00:06:44
Speaker 2: You should give me an instant answer.

00:06:45
Speaker 3: I hope, yeah, it's I mean it's Harper.

00:06:50
Speaker 5: But I mean you know the quote about they hit.

00:06:52
Speaker 3: Sure, you know, but then why did you pinch hit Bryce Harper and Bryce terrang later in the game right? If they were if they were hitting right, and they were, they were so good. Uh, I don't know, man, this just it's just not what we expected. I think that's why we were so shocked by this whole thing, is it's just not what we were expecting. And I don't know that where's the person. It's kind of like the Chris Remember we brought up the Chris Guetz switch hitter.

00:07:17
Speaker 5: Thing with Acunya.

00:07:18
Speaker 3: Where is where is whoever the USA PR person is? I don't even I don't even remember who it was when I was just there saying, hey, dero, that's not right, Like no, like after the game against Mexico, someone should have been in his ear saying, hey, you, like, we really need to win this game now. They said that they them, you know, hanging out after the in the locker room afterwards. But then you hear d Ro's quote where he says, hey, there's some guys what he say dragging or what he says here he used some weird quote about there was some guys dragging or what I forget exactly what he said, right, And then people instantly and just go to well, they were in the locker room till one in the morning the night before, right, So it's just like, I don't know, it's just listen, We're I'm.

00:08:03
Speaker 5: A USA fan, Croutch, you're a USA fan.

00:08:05
Speaker 3: There's no excuses. Italy beat them fine. Michael Lorenzen, you shoved last night four and two thirds shutout baseball.

00:08:16
Speaker 5: You shove.

00:08:16
Speaker 3: Good for you you're a good dude. Good for you. There is no excuses for why this happened. Italy beat the USA, fine, but going into that game, you have to know that you have to win that game. From the moment the Mexico game is over, there can't be any thought that, whod we can relax now, No, we have to win this game to advance for sure, and it didn't happen.

00:08:43
Speaker 1: Well, you might be following, you know where I'm going here crat tickets for the World Baseball Classic, thinking you're going to get some USA action.

00:08:53
Speaker 2: You might not, but you might, right.

00:08:56
Speaker 1: So, there's actually going to be a lot of fluctuation on Sea Geek right now, so keep an eye on it. Territory ten for the code ten percent off tickets there and over thirty five million downloads.

00:09:06
Speaker 2: It's the number one rated ticketing app.

00:09:08
Speaker 1: But if you're hanging right now and you're watching US Slave and you happen to have a chance to go see Dominican Republic against Venezuela this evening, I highly recommend it in Florida. I think that Italy against Mexico has suddenly become a much hotter ticket. So if you'd like to check that out on seat geek and find the green for the best value.

00:09:30
Speaker 2: Then do that, or.

00:09:32
Speaker 4: They already have the quarterfinals, you don't know who the opponents are gonna be. Korea is definitely one of those that's gonna be in there, and then you'll figure out who's playing who in the quarterfinals.

00:09:42
Speaker 5: Just go in there.

00:09:42
Speaker 4: Check it out because when these like the Dominican Venezuela game in Miami, like, you got to get a seat, and you got to get a good seat because it is gonna be packed. It's gonna be loud. Half an inning, one side's gonna be standing up. The other half of the inning, the other side's gonna be standing up.

00:09:59
Speaker 2: Yep.

00:09:59
Speaker 1: And if you you think that Italy is going to win in USA is okay and they're going to advance, then tickets are probably going to go up too. So could be a nice little investment or a good time if you're trying to get tickets to it to check that out.

00:10:11
Speaker 2: So the code for you is Territory one zero.

00:10:13
Speaker 1: Ten percent off your next set of tickets at seat geek with that promo code. Make sure you click the link in the description to download the app and have the code automatically add it to your account and then you can.

00:10:23
Speaker 2: Use it later if you'd like props to seat Geek.

00:10:27
Speaker 4: I guess I'm not going to put it on the players. I'm not even going to put it on lineup, construction, team control anything like that. I'm going to put it on every one of those coaches. And d Row's the top of that. It's d Row who doesn't have managerial experience, Matt Holliday who doesn't have managerial experience, Andy Pettitt who doesn't have it, isn't David Ross, isn't David Ross on there. He's the one guy that has the managerial experience. So to me, it's guys in that room. That's why you have that whole room that need to make sure they know that, yes, the runs are the biggest thing. Did they know. Maybe they'll come out and say that they didn't know. All the signs starting with d Ro talking like yeah, you know we do want to beat Italy, but you know our tickets punched to the quarterfinals, to warming up Clayton Kershaw to you're down already with Noel McLain on the mound and you went to Ryan Yarborough, which I get it. Ryan Yarborough does have to pitch, and you know you have to find some innings. But at that point you're in a panic mode in the sense of whoa, I'm going to Mason Miller, I'm going to Brad Keller, and I know Brad Keller joinst one in the center field and and you know there's things on the field that happened. But to me, when it's managed and taken care of in a certain way, I don't believe it was misspoken, I don't believe he misspoke.

00:12:01
Speaker 3: By the way, Also, Scott, can I just say this about listen. Ryan yarbro is a good picture, a really good picture. Nolan McLain is a young pitcher, he's got great stuff. Right, But this is what we talked about. Remember where I said they're going they might get caught. How can they get in trouble? They're gonna get caught, right, They kind of got caught in this game because Yarborough needed his innings. Molan McClain maybe stayed out there a little bit too long than he should have. Right, Why because they needed to get their pitches. And now you can say they can go to the bullpen, but that's not the same as pitching in the game.

00:12:32
Speaker 5: I don't care who you are, so what happens.

00:12:34
Speaker 3: The script was McLain to Yarborough and then to get to the relievers, hopefully they have a lead. They didn't have a lead, and then they just kept giving up runs and before you know it, they're down ain't nothing, and you're going, uh, this is a little bit late. And then when they say they did it, they knew the situation, well that they knew the situation then Clayton, and from the begin go they said, Clayton Kershaw is there only in an absolute emergency. The only emergency was you cannot afford to give up another run. And then they you know, and they had Clayton Kershaw warming up. That's where I think is what Krat's saying is like, I don't know that they played out all the possibilities of this game. Like like I always say, when I talk to Let's I'll use aj Hinch because I think he's one of the best managers. When I talked to aj Hinch for the playoff game before regular season game, he's played out almost every possibility. Now something crazy happening, yes, but he's played out every possibility and he's like, if this happens, I'm going here. If this happens, I'm going here. If this happens, I'm going here. If this seemed like, all right, we're following this script no matter what. Oh my gosh, we're losing. What do we do? Oh my gosh, we don't want to use another picture because of the run differential. But we don't know about the run differential. So let's just get Clayton up because we're probably gonna lose this game anyways. And that's not not on Clayton Kershew, but we all, I mean, Dero said it, everyone said it. He's only there in case things go completely hey, haywire. And this was not the game where they could afford to give up anymore. Now they're basically paying the price and all they can do is sit there in their hotel and watch and pray that they get through.

00:13:56
Speaker 1: I've got another one where I'm going to be highly critical. I said it on this show several days go. Trek Scooble said he would have pitched against Team Mexico that would have enabled them to use Paul Skeans against Team Italy. That would have also set up Skimes for the final.

00:14:08
Speaker 2: You can make the case.

00:14:09
Speaker 1: Hey, you've got to get to the final first, so Skeian should pitch in the semifinal.

00:14:12
Speaker 2: Okay, but wait, let's backtrack.

00:14:14
Speaker 1: You've got to get to the fucking quarter final first, So Scooble should pitch in the important game and Skian should pitch in the important game. They had that option, that option was given to them. They decided, Nah, we'll pitch Schooble against Great Britain and then we'll go McClain after Skeins. So let's que up a couple of tweets here because people were losing their shit last night. I have never seen such a storm and so many people all agreeing on how they felt as if the way that this is all going down with USA is not constructed properly, because I mean, obviously I'm going off people that are US fans. Everyone's agreeing. They don't feel like forget just the right pitching talent in place, which is always the question mark. It's like, are they being deployed correctly? JJ Cooper said MLB Network conducted the most significant newsworthy interview in WBC history. They had a manager saying his team in advance when they hadn't, and they took that video down as soon as they realized it's significance and newsworthiness. By the way, after going viral for that, they then put the video back up.

00:15:20
Speaker 2: This is interesting.

00:15:21
Speaker 1: Yes, As I said last night on the postgame show, which I advised everyone to watch, was full of fires krats Todd Father and me right after that game. It's twenty twenty six. You can't hide taking a video down hours later. It's going to make it worse. It's one thing if there was something inappropriate, like nudity or whatever. This was just someone misspoke. You gotta leave it there or otherwise you make it more fire.

00:15:45
Speaker 2: Part two.

00:15:47
Speaker 1: I've worked with dro for hundreds, if not thousands of hours in my life, A friend of mine.

00:15:54
Speaker 2: He's a good dude. I can vouch for that.

00:15:57
Speaker 1: He's a fun guy, good hang, great dude to get drinks with. Junie Lee making a point here, USA head coach, two times Stanley Cup champ, USA Basketball head coach, four time Finals champ. US Soccer head coach, Champions League runner up, USA Baseball manager, talk show host.

00:16:13
Speaker 2: This is just a serious statement here, Aj.

00:16:17
Speaker 1: We all have been around Mark de Rosa plenty of times he is not a big league manager. What happens last night is people start rattling off names like where's Bruce Bochie?

00:16:27
Speaker 2: You could ask.

00:16:28
Speaker 1: Someone like that and you could come up with ten to fifteen other names of decorated former managers who have been in these spots and who could manage this? Should a non big league manager be in this spot? For Team USA?

00:16:46
Speaker 3: Where's Buck Showalter? You mentioned Buck? Who's on her show? Scott?

00:16:49
Speaker 5: What the heck?

00:16:50
Speaker 2: I just gave you one.

00:16:51
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go through a list of twenty and I saved Buck for you at order.

00:16:55
Speaker 3: By the way, Also, Bruce Bochi managed Team France, so I don't know if you can you can go for French to American.

00:17:01
Speaker 5: By the way, I don't know.

00:17:01
Speaker 2: If that's so thank you.

00:17:03
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean we did invent the French for even though the French get the credit, So I mean, you know, something like that. But Leland won the year they won, Jim Leland was the manager. Let's not forget right. In twenty seventeen they won. They had Jim Leland, who managed a lot in the big leagues and had a lot of success. The year they won the Olympic medal two thousand, the gold medal. Guess who the manager was, Tommy Lesorda, who kind of had some had a nice big league run as a manager. Right, listen, This is not a knock on Mark Derossa. I do not I do like dro and I think he listened. I talked to Dro. I think he's great. I just it's just a weird situation because he's been put between a rock and a hard place. And this is not an excuse, but he doesn't know. He's never he's done it one time in last time in the twenty twenty three and they said they worked on this for years.

00:17:47
Speaker 5: They said they set it up. So I don't know. I just wish they would have won the game.

00:17:51
Speaker 3: You know who, they would have won the game, maybe if Adley Rutchman was there, and then he could have been maybe in the game. I don't know, but I don't know. I just wish they would have won. That was if they would have won. Nobody's talking about any of this.

00:18:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, while by the way, you get ready for Attlee Rutchman. Let's just talk Kratz to me for a moment here, Kratz, let's finish with this, we need to spin it forward. People in the chat asking, hey, what's the deal with Mexico Italy tonight? Mexico's favored by two and a half fronts, and we were trying to figure out what the pitching was going to look like.

00:18:21
Speaker 2: Do you know who's starting?

00:18:22
Speaker 1: Javier Assad He can record big league outs. Aranola going on the other side. This is going to be a good matchup, and there, I would say, is a fifty to fifty chance that the nightmare for USA does play out. Mexico could win this game for three and the US has to sit there watch bite nails and be the biggest fan of Team Italy of all time.

00:18:47
Speaker 5: Four four to three.

00:18:49
Speaker 4: I mean, just just look at what the line is. The lines is seven and a half.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: So it's that's why I said four three dude.

00:18:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's projecting to be a low scoring game because they understand what's at stake. Both teams are going to empty their clip as much as they're allowed with pitching restrictions and all that stuff. They're going to empty their clip to make it to the next round.

00:19:17
Speaker 1: Hey, so let's finish with that. We're seeing it right now. US advances if Italy wins or Mexico allows six plus runs or Italy allows five plus runs. Keep in mind this is in regular format, not if it goes to extra innings, because then there's other shit. Mexico advances with a win and allowing five runs or less, Italy advances with a winner allowing four or fewer runs to Mexico.

00:19:44
Speaker 2: Good luck.

00:19:46
Speaker 1: Well, I'll be watching Nervous and you can watch the entire World Baseball Classic on Fox One.

No, it's not that they don't care, but I'm saying like you want Edwin Diaz for the game before when they were able to clinch. That was actually a clinching scenario, not a fake one like US Israel one. Good job by KP. The parlay for Crats didn't hit. So we do have money bags, just our little WBC money bags, and let's set up the evening.

00:22:00
Speaker 2: Hey, j would you like to go first?

00:22:03
Speaker 5: Sure? I didn't even want to bet on the Mexico Italy.

00:22:06
Speaker 4: Game, so I went, uh, you don't have your mic, so I'll go.

00:22:15
Speaker 2: Whoa whoa.

00:22:16
Speaker 1: That is going to be very difficult for the editor for the podcast in post, but Crats, you're up.

00:22:21
Speaker 4: But I will go with the over in the the clash between Cuba and Canada both two and one teams. Cal Quantrill's going for Canada and I can't say the Cuba guy's last name, Moniela, I think is what it is. But I'm taking the over at eight and a half. It's coming out at minus one oh five.

00:22:42
Speaker 2: Okay, you think Quantrill is gonna get hit.

00:22:45
Speaker 4: I just think that he'll be out before and I think their bullpen is too much, and I think Cuba wants to take this game down. There's a little bit of a little bit of animosity between Cuba and Canada. Canada loves is good at ruffling feathers in the WBC, is.

00:23:02
Speaker 2: There animosity that I don't know what in Canada.

00:23:05
Speaker 4: Do what when they play against each other? I mean they obviously everybody knows about clearly.

00:23:15
Speaker 5: Hey what, oh, I didn't say Canada. That's what you just said.

00:23:18
Speaker 3: Crat said Canadians like the ruffle feathers, and he doesn't like Canada Canadians.

00:23:23
Speaker 1: South Park episode blame Canada, Phillips the famous South episode. Most kids don't even know about that anymore.

00:23:31
Speaker 2: H A j you're at uh.

00:23:34
Speaker 3: I am going over ten and a half in the d R first Venezuela. Not because I think that they're going to score ten and a half. I'm just rooting for it for a lot of homers.

00:23:42
Speaker 5: Why because I.

00:23:43
Speaker 3: Want to see that all the parties they throw in the celebrations when everyone.

00:23:46
Speaker 5: Hits a homer, like I'm fear for it.

00:23:49
Speaker 3: Like every time a dude hits a homer, they do something crazy on the field and they throw confetti and stop and eat. Like we've talked to Junior Camerania all the time. They stop and eat a Barbie, thank you Ribs at second base, and I am here for it. So today in Miami, imagine this atmosphere, dr vers Venezuela. I hope they score two hundred runs in this game and everyone hits.

00:24:10
Speaker 2: Homes, everybody celebrates.

00:24:13
Speaker 1: That game would take nine hours because if everybody hits homers. No, I'm fine with it too. I'm here for it. When it's crazy and it's good. Then the long games are okay. When it's regular season, you know, seven to two game, and it took four and a half hours. Back when I used to call game every week, that was a little more frustrating with the pace.

00:24:33
Speaker 2: But I digress.

00:24:35
Speaker 1: Over seven and a half runs or no, no under, sorry under under seven and a half runs for Italy and Mexico. I think the drama will be on tonight. Mexico is favored by two and a half, so, right, I could see this.

00:24:47
Speaker 2: I'm kind of.

00:24:48
Speaker 1: Headshing this, right, So if we hit the over, it's likely that the US advances. If not, then I guess I win some money. That's called a hedge. That makes me feel better. So I'll go one five to one one hundred there, because I could see that scenario playing out. It could be a close, low scoring game and Italy could win, but seven and a half is a pretty low mark, and I'm still going to go under that.

00:26:22
Speaker 1: Props of the Orioles for helping us out in all of the players that joined us. Really good fire at the top of the show if you want to go back to that and just feel like you need to vent for your WBC frustration if you're a Team USA fan. If you're not, then you're probably feeling pretty good right now. But it is going to be nail biting time and it is going to be a lot of Go Italy Go. The US is a big, big Italy fan tonight. The US is Italian this evening. I think that was the joke I put yesterday and the postgame show postgame shows. By the way, tonight we will be on live. There's a couple scenarios. We're like the WBC know the scenarios. So after the Mexico Italy game, this is most likely. Don't hold me to this one. We would go live if the US is eliminated. If not, we would do what we regularly were scheduled to do, which is go live after Dominican Republic against Venezuela, and then, of course in that postgame show we would also talk about what happened with Mexico and with h Italy.

00:27:24
Speaker 2: There are two.

00:27:25
Speaker 1: Really must see games. They're staggered about an hour apart. You know where to find them. Fox one app. They'll be on Fox and FS one as well. But if not for you, Fox one app.

00:27:36
Speaker 2: Is the spot. Also, what else did I want to say?

00:27:40
Speaker 3: Oh?

00:27:41
Speaker 1: Real quick, so we have two minutes, AJ just your thirty second take on the end of the Cal Riley stuff. We were going to do a whole segment on it. We just ran out of time. You weren't on with us yesterday. I'm assuming that you would have done the same thing as Cal. But then afterward, would you have called Randy and been like, hey, dude, but we're still teammates, like we're good.

00:27:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it wasn't that bad.

00:28:00
Speaker 5: It would have been before though you were you.

00:28:03
Speaker 3: Would have been like hey, man, like like I had a conversation with another ex player about this. And you always said hi to people, but you didn't make it obvious, right, Like you didn't walk up and shake their I mean, I get what they're doing. It's a good show of sportsmanship and all that stuff. But I always just kind of kept my head down and people, you know, say something to keep your mask on, and and man, hope everything is good, especially guys you know like that. So I never played against I mean I played against X teammates, but never teammates and on a stage like this, So listen, man, I have no I have no problem with Kyl did like, uh who I forget which one of our guests said, we don't know exactly ozadly when he's like, I don't know what was going on in the USA, what they talked about, right, So I don't know.

00:28:43
Speaker 5: I just didn't like that. Again, I don't know all that's going on.

00:28:47
Speaker 3: I just didn't like Randy being like he can f off, Well, guess what you're about to spend eight months together, so like, can.

00:28:51
Speaker 5: He really f off?

00:28:53
Speaker 3: Like this is your dude, man, this is the dude hit sixty for y'all. Right, So I don't know. I just think everything is blown out of proportion todays. I wish it would happen, but I would have been a dick too, so I can't really say anything.

00:29:07
Speaker 1: Acknowledging your persona I think is important in this instance. That's okay, Yeah, and you would have probably been pissed AJ that Randy took it to that line.

00:29:16
Speaker 2: You probably would have. You can have fun with it after the game, but I don't need him to say.

00:29:20
Speaker 3: Fo yeah, yeah exactly, Like if he would have joke, made a joke, and maybe he was joking. I don't know Randy that i've met Randy. That's about it. But maybe he was joking when he said that. I don't know, but I don't know. I just I wish you wouldn't have happened. And people that are saying, oh, it could have been fixed with a simple greeting, Yeah, it could have been. But maybe cal said, hey, Randy, not now, I'm not going to shake your hand, and then maybe he said nice, something nice. I don't know what he said because I don't wasn't there and I don't have a microphone.

00:29:44
Speaker 5: And so I don't know. I just I just find it funny that.

00:29:48
Speaker 3: You know, I used to hate when people come up to me and tap my shin guard with their bat. I'm like, I don't go to second base and kick you in the shin when I see you. Why you hit me with your back dude, it's not cool, right, Like we're friends, Hey, what's up, man, stay healthy, have a game. We're going to compete against the other, but like, don't come up and whack me in the shin guard because, like I said, I don't go to I don't go out to second base when I'm staying on a second base and kick you in the shin and be like, hey, how's it going?

00:30:10
Speaker 5: Like stop.

00:30:12
Speaker 1: I think that's actually a really good analogy. So so we'll end on that. Two more orders of business on the way out.

00:30:18
Speaker 2: One. I didn't get this in the other day and wanted to.

00:30:19
Speaker 1: We had talked about it before it happened, but I was able to rep ft at the Beyond Now summit with just a ton of creators, influencers, people in the content space, so just wanted to shout out the event. Actually got to spend a lot of time with the Dunn family, including Livy's sister who is a superstar who represents her Jules is her name, and then was on a panel with just a ton of people in sports.

00:30:44
Speaker 2: Jamis Winston was there.

00:30:46
Speaker 1: This guy, Jordan matteris thirty five million YouTube subscribers. He's a superstar putting together short little uh.

00:30:53
Speaker 2: I guess you'd call him like skits.

00:30:55
Speaker 1: But anyway, if you want to see more info Beyond Now summit, they'll put a lot of the conversations that we did. I did like ten interviews on their site and platform.

00:31:04
Speaker 2: Kids. It was geared towards high school kids.

00:31:07
Speaker 1: We get the questions all the time, like how do I get involved in the industry, what do I do first to try and kind of build up a resume. A lot of those conversations were there, so I wanted to shout that one out.

00:31:17
Speaker 2: It lived up to the billing.

00:31:18
Speaker 1: Krats and I were excited to talk about it leading up to the event.

00:31:22
Speaker 2: Lastly, Krats hats.

00:31:26
Speaker 4: Obviously wear an O's camp I'm gonna start wearing all the WBC again for everybody didn't see it yesterday.

00:32:03
Speaker 5: Not doing that's what was really. It's so snook.

00:32:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough though, because especially on the road, it's hard. And by the way, before I go, huge shout out to the Orioles, not only for the cool sweatshirt Jackie Jennifer h Nate, I got those right, Jackie Jennifer Nate, Jackie Jennifer Nate. Yes, perfect. Uh crushed it with the guests. And by the way, cal Ripken was here. I asked him to come on. He kind of laughed at me because he's not in uniform ornything. So, but thank you to the Orioles. You guys rocked it. All the players that came on. I saw Michae Elias. He's now my white whale. I'm going to figure out how to get him on. Craig Alburn as I saw him, he was too busy. He was cut day to day. He had a million things going on. So but the players that came on, you guys rocked it. Pr Staff, you guys crushed it. Thank you, Baltimore Orioles.

00:32:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we also had a million players on it. Phill up the whole show. He didn't have time to do much else.
