Welcome to Comedians Talkin Sports Presents Comedians Talkin Baseball, The Weekly Podcast With Myself, Comedian Mike Bridenside Sit Down, and Re-Kep The Week That Was in Major League Baseball. Also talking about some other fun stuff, we'll learn on some stats. Just have a good time with ya. Mike Bridenside, how you doing buddy?
Hey Joe? Dude. How are you man? Good.
I'm not like how are you? You know? Like in a personal level. I mean the world is baseball.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm good. Yeah.
The world sucks man. Baseball's pretty good. Pretty good. I mean what is it if not a distraction from the shit world?
You know people always talk about sports and movies and music entertainment in general and distraction. Yeah. I mean the whole round. You know who wants you to say that man?
The elite. Well the elite are right. Keep distracting me elite people. I love it.
We currently have the Cubs vs Rangers on the back on the Cubs. We're going for a sweep with Nuttrail 4-1 here in the late innings of the ballgame as Cole Hamill continues his reign of dominance against Archicogro Cubs. We'll do our best not to commentate on the game because I do listen to the past. Oh that's fun.
Come on that's fun. Last week's podcast was a fun one but there's times where we kill our own momentum. But only shit that was a great double play and then we screw everything up. Anyhow baseball was literally a distraction.
Literally it was. Literally. Literally. We do have some fun stuff to talk about.
The All-Star game was this past Tuesday. Yeah. Maricently continues to win. No, like Houston.
Yeah they won five to three. I feel like Cosmer is a douche. I know it's funny about that going into the game we both said that there was two guys on either side who should not be starting. Maybe even more a couple but two stuck out.
Add some muscle shorts up in the next thing. Yeah. It should not have been the starting shorts down. Not at all.
Not at all. Maybe like seventh best. Only a 22 though. So still we both think he's young.
I would have said he was the eighth best shorts down in the middle. But seventh right at the same time. Hey but that's out of 15 you know there's people who are not as middle of the pack. And then on the other side the American League side we had Hossmore.
Eric Hossmore. Sorry I said Hossmore. Hey. Hossmore.
Eric Hossmore. It's a Sunday. Eric Hossmore. I can't see where all the first base was also the starter for the American League All-Star team.
Neither of us really thought he should have been a starter. I thought it was a prayer that you could go Chris Davis. You could go a lot of things. You know maybe what is you fifth on your depth chart in the A.L.?
Hossmore. And then he wins the MVP. Yeah he did. It's an opposite field homerun that Perez adds a two run shot.
Being on the stage and our highlight though as Hossman was Chris Bryan taking Chris sale. That was F. Good. Sorry Dale Brown.
Sorry Dale. Sorry Dale. First time a Cubs player has ever had a homerun off an American off a White Sox pitcher I should say. Is that?
Yeah no Cubs. No. White Sox pitcher. I remember that one guy they had was Esteban.
Esteban the White Sox. He started an All-Star game. He was good. He had a couple other dudes.
James Baldwin ever going to start an All-Star game. He got a win in the All-Star game. What do you mean? Yeah.
Sale. There was a year where Sale had two, one, two, three innings and then Rivera came in and pitched in his last season and they gave Rivera the MVP and I was just like fuck you. Yeah. This ain't for a couple of years.
Joe Bock who, does anyone like Joe Bock? You're a Joe Bock and show yourself. He's a junior. Hey man he's up there talking about how you are a Molina is a Hall of Famer, I'm just like no.
Well he's just obnoxious. Dad was awesome. He was Donald Trump. The dad's not Donald Trump.
Joe Bock is Donald Trump is riding his father's coattails. He's a Marty Brettaman. Donald Trump was the rich guy. He'd have done all the money, my son's a rich guy.
I was like what a genius. I'm not really fine-heated. $200 million 19th birthday. I'd be kicking some ass a couple decades later too.
Or I'd have been dead on some crazy cog Benj. What do they say about George W. Bush? He like woke up on third base, thought he had a triple.
Yes. That was the famous line about him. Baseball. What about third base, thought he had a triple?
I see baseball, and now he's working for everything in my life. Sex. Sex? Definitely.
Did you get to do a first base? You were arguing about what the bases were? OK, go ahead. First base is making out.
Yeah. Second base is boob stuff. Boob stuff. Third base is below the waist.
But here's the thing. Is it? Would you equate? It's like weighted on base average.
We're going to go with saber metrics. OK, what's a wall? Let's go with saber metrics with sexual bases. OK, so first base, not necessarily a single.
You can get hit by pitch. There's a lot. So there's different ways to get there. Sure.
But the third base, you can't wait a hand job equal to a blow job. No. Or fingering equal to eating out. That's not equal.
But they're both considered third base. Or some people could consider fingering in hand job second base. I think they're much more. I think blow jobs are too small.
You think blow jobs are too small. You think blow jobs are too small? Because it doesn't follow in the base equation. I guess it doesn't.
I don't know. But maybe a blow job is hitting a double with one on second and third. It's a ground rule of triple. Yeah, there's no such thing.
Maybe more. It's got to be a base hit with runner. It's got to have a benefiting. Bill Clinton would tell you that's not a home run.
He would redefine what the word is was while doing it, too. That's a real slippery man. There's a snake like in this movement. Listen, though, I think what we all know is what's slithering.
Because we got to do weighted on base average. What about if you will? Yeah. Because what's anal sex?
Oh, well, backdoor entry. That is. Is that a home run on a backdoor slider? It came in through the back door.
This isn't the stuff you're going to hear on fan graphs. That's stealing home. That's stealing home. That's a straight steal home.
That's not even like the first one on first. That is a suicide squeeze, my friends. I would agree with that. And a three-sum would that be a three-run home run?
Oh, that is. That's a two-run homer. It's a two-run homer. You actually get two.
You count as one. Yeah. Totally. We got to revisit this one.
We got to put some hot-all homeruns or equal, though. You can just hit it. Yeah. Posing Can't Sake them with a goddamn head and bounce over the fence or a homerun.
You know, inside the park homerun. Oh, that's probably a try-hump until you come. Probably a fludge. Try it.
It's a fludge job inside the park homerun. Try it until you... Yeah. ...to splooge.
Yeah. I'm a video for this one. This one needs to be shared to Facebook and YouTube. I think we really sit down and let this out.
We get a big dry horse. Dry horse. Dry horse. That's the name of my third album.
Dry horse. Do you have a album for the 20-40 title? Yeah. You know, first-space.
Second-space. Second-space. Second-space called Boob Stuff. Boob Stuff.
That should be your second album. Boob Stuff. What was your first album? Pay attention.
Pay attention. I held on an item. It is. I had Spotify and Pandora.
If you're going to listen to an Empandora, create a station. I'll help a good kid out. I gave one of those hack things that people...I know. And it was called Two Fist Details.
That's good. Well, my Cody's funny, I should tell me I should call Two Fist Details, because at the time I was doing jokes about drinking or fighting. So the Two Fist Details are like a double meaning. I was drinking or fighting.
I completely humbled and understand that. Yeah. Thank you. And then this one I wanted was something basic for the first album.
I'm like, you know what? I don't want... I started looking at people's debut title albums. I'm like, there's no way they don't think that's stupid 10 years from later, you know?
Some people just...I wanted to be something where I'm like, all right, I made the coverage. Just a picture of me doing stand up. Nothing that you're like a shame, though. Yeah, because some people's like overdo it.
They try to go real arts with the cover. They try to have a really crazy meaning to the name. I'm like, you're 29, 30 years older, really 30s. When you're 40, you're going to look back and look, wow, I was kind of a douche.
I kind of sucked. Why would I name something that? Who's got a good one? I'm not many people.
I don't know debut, though. Like strategic grille locations that's Mitch Edwards. Oh, that's kind of funny. But I think a lot of...
That's the same effort. A joke. I mean, just like some people name it for a joke or a lot of comedians will go basic. Some comedians just go real simple.
Delirious. Raw. See, those kind of work, though, I feel like. Excuse me.
I think that's what I would call it. I think that's what I would call it. I've never done enough. I just called the pay attention because I was kind of like, oh, that's a cool man title for a debut.
It's all the next one. That's what we call it, Boob stuff. Boob stuff. Alright, man, if you're going to hold me to it, I'll call it Boob stuff just for you.
We do want to talk about... You don't want to talk about before we move on to because a big trade just happened and that's going to set the trade market. So I mean, just seeing how that shit is wrong. That is real polarizing trade, by the way.
I think so. Because on our text, a little messagey thing, we thought that there's no way that the Padres were only accepting one pitch for Anderson Espinosa for that. Yeah, it was Drew Palmarans went for Anderson Espinosa. Who's the number 14 ranked prospect for the Boston?
Well, not for the Boston Cyclops for all the bass. We're right, a pitcher. Yeah, he looks like he's only 18. They keep comparing to Pedro.
Yeah, to be ranked number 14 to 18 is pretty impressive. Where's he from? Originally? I don't know where the background is.
I don't know if he's Dominican or who's going to be compared to Pedro, I think Dominican is a sixth. He's Dominican. Yeah. He's for sure.
Well we'll get to that in a second because there's some trades that are going to be happening in the upcoming weeks. I mean, here we are on July 16th, 17th, 17th, 17th, thank you. and text messages from my father and brother-in-law watching this game. Yeah, well, you know what, the Cubs can't sweep them all.
I mean, Texas is a very good team. But we have to go after the office, right? You've got to forget about that. Tex Rangestar in first.
All right. What happened nationally? Why are we no longer the dominant league? People forget, because the American League's won like 13 likes.
Because the Cubs fans came in there and voted every single goddamn come in. True, but I thought I'd start out as a Russell. We deserved to start. Rizzo deserved to start.
Brian, to start. And really don't work. Danymore, if you should have started. Danymore forgot more bets than so many ways.
OK. So what does that mean? You're missing the point. You know why we lost this game?
Because our three best pitchers didn't play in the game. Kershaw, Bumgarner, and Drosberg. And did, OK, so Quayo starts. Quayo started.
He went too long. Two innings. They only went one inning. Yeah, I think the nationally missing out on Kershaw, on Bumgarner, on Strasburg.
That's a synagogue. That's four monster pitchers. Four monster pitchers that we didn't get to throw. Right.
So I mean, the American League doesn't have any dominant pitchers. But right now, if you look at it, it's an all-star game, so everybody's pretty good. Yeah. I was looking at, like, I had to give first half awards for, you know, sorry, I was so distracted there.
I didn't give up like, sorry, but I don't have my talking. I would say that the best pitcher in the American League in the first half was actually Masahiro Tanaka. And no one's talking about that, dude. Well, didn't he start the year on the DL?
I think that's why he probably went overlooked for that reason. I mean, the fact that not a single person is talking about Masahiro Tanaka is amazing. I think the only story with the Yankees right now is, are they going to stand firm, or are they going to start trading pieces? They're nine and a half games out, which is funny to me, because are the pirates still in it?
Because the pirates are going for a wild card. How far are the Yankees from a wild card spot? Here's the thing though. The Yankees would say they would have started being swept by Boston and it would be like three games under 500.
This is like the first time in a really long time that the Yankees have been under 500 in the second half. Here's the first time, it's almost since 1995, they've been under 500 this late in the second half. Let me see, they are five and a half back in the wild card. See, that's one of those things though.
I think Cashman is going to start to pull the trigger. I don't think, I think they'll trade Chapman. I think Carl's belt trying to get some move. Miller.
I don't think Miller gets moved. I think they got a few years left. They got a couple years left. They're going to want him more than Chapman, because Chapman is right.
Of course, they're rental. Chapman's rental, definitely. Andy's got some baggage. Because I would take him though.
Here's what I wanted. The conversation is going to go into a left turn right now. I've been thinking about this lately. We got that text thread going back and forth about myself, you and a couple other Cubs fans.
And Matt Dwyer and Brendan McGowan, very funny dude. Looking up everyone. I brought up how when the Cubs were really suffering, I said I would like to see us at two arms. Why not try to get Miller and Chapman if the Yankees are dealing.
Why not grab them both? And a couple people said, well, listen, Chapman had that whole thing in the off season. Do we really want this class cancer type of guy, which I never heard from him in a close cancer. His teammates have since he seemed to love him.
And I haven't heard any bad things from other teammates about him in New York. He had this incident where- I think he was going to go to the Giants. He was accused of choking his wife and then to let out steam, went into the garage shot. Shooting like eight bullets into his garage wall.
That's some Richard Pryor shit. It's pretty psychotic. Yes. What I want to know is what she said to piss him on me.
No, no, no, no. Where are we in sports in general? Because it happens in the other sports. Where when does the guy get a second chance?
When do we, if his wife forgives him, if the law doesn't charge him, because he wasn't charged with anything, it still was an allegation where he, but you know what I mean? It's like the guy. So he's, you know, he served his time. But I know where to point where we really want to come out against these assholes and I am 100% domestic violence that needs to be needed to show because, you know, professionally it's influenced people.
What do you get? 30 games? Yeah, 30 games. That's a lot of games.
Not necessarily for a reliever. Yeah, I mean, 30 games are still, I'm not saying it was like steep. I think it was the right move. It came out strong against it.
Let's send a message to the players that you represent Major League Baseball. We don't want it to be known as- Because what did a, what does face get? Ray Rice. Two games originally, then the whole year after the video was leaked, which of course, you know they saw the end of the video.
That was always the end of the video. I think it's just how it works. No, we don't see how the sausage is made. You know, you saw the inside of what they do to pigs.
You'd be like, I'm never touching a hatdog again. No. That's just how that works. I just want to know is if the Cubs did make a training chatman, with the fan base, with people who revolve, would people be like, oh, I can't believe the Cubs went after this woman beat her and would be like this?
I think most casual fans don't know about that because it's not being like that. Someone would leak it that happened and people might be like, what the fuck? Yes. Especially if they give up someone, you know, like a hobby bias or- I don't know anymore, I mean.
But I don't know anymore. I don't know anymore. motherfucker for like what the rest of the season and then we got a resign and he's not coming anywhere it's like air like a miller no of course no listen the cubs definitely want Miller first but I'm saying if Miller becomes unavailable which which from what I'm writing my reading the Yankees are looking to deal Miller they are still thinking about it because I mean yeah man they should dump a lot of dudes they're old like they're very old they're very old one Shira H. R.
I. T. Y. Naka and he's not even like super young he's thirty yeah I mean I guess they have Caster and Gregorius who are like the only two actually might be like 28 he was actually kind of he was in Japan for a while he but I think he came over at like 25 though which was really young look at my secret to knock I think 25 because I remember the Cubs were bidding on him which even then it felt like a fake bid felt like we knew the Yankees were not bid us but here we came in second in the bidding be happy cub fan we tried I remember that yeah time knock I don't know if you can just Google to knock and have a come up I see you if you Google anyone their age usually comes up right away but my point is that I don't want to listen to know that I am of course against anyone who hits their wife no one thinks that you're good but you know how things aren't you really think that because then someone would be like oh well you're okay with a woman be to be on your team like no I prefer it to be a bunch of angels who give back to the community but the same regard people deserve second chances if yeah like all the show that a woman is bad a woman is terrible but like if you know if you had a good guy who hung up drywall if you found out you should women but he did his time you'd be like this guy is good drywall I think I'm a higher anyway yeah I could yeah here's the thing that always bothers me about these types of trades is like what if we get Miller and Chapman guess who does the fucking Yankees and they're below 500 well we're adding him to a sea of yeah I mean but all he's the answer to all of our prayers well you know what do you what do you think the answer to the Cubs prayers what do you think the Cubs need to be a world series try trying harder not to suck try hard on this I like make a better teacher yeah I don't know how old he is this is well you said the Giants you know technically where I don't the Giants are already awesome because dusty Baker no no the nationals got the nationals because Chapman was with the reds yeah and the nationals could every TV I've been in a coma is dusty Baker in giant's a two other buck angels look at this you're too his little sons in the way they have to move him out of the way hold is that can I wonder so he's five in 2002 so he's like 18 god damn that's incredible college in some magazine you should have been from the Nirvana yes we brought Nirvana that's what I was going to find sure sure of course I do think the Cubs need bullpen help there's a lot more bullpen pieces than arms I mean like the arms are really kind of bad like last week Johnny Quay to get co-harmals out there that's not there it's really not I don't really see a whole lot of studs available Helixon I mean there's a few guys from the race the race are so crazy but there's 19 out there's a listen to trades on Archer but so far archers lost 14 games this year something yeah what I thought losses do matter my friend's son got to be consistent well the other day is five that's why he's losing that's why he's losing allow me to get to you okay he's been pitching but he's he pitched bad this I can have like Archer is vastly overrated well the Texas Rangers are archers still young though he's only like 27 and he's been good so they think you know sometimes you think change of scenery how much fun to be pitching in Tampa changes in front of the fall people every 50 that's the front of the ugliest day of ever seen my life I've never been there but it does not look right the grass looks like it has alopecia it's right it's just what is bad that I don't like baseball should be played it doesn't playing afternoon games on Saturday and it looks like it's midnight it's dark and really shitty in there it's brutal I might uncle and cousin went to a game there because they're just happening in Tampa it's called the trap yeah I tried to kind of field and this was way before Madden they started winning yeah like two thousand the devil race when they were the devil race they bought a devil race fitted hat the kind that would cost any other team 25 bucks at that another like $30 food hats yeah seven bucks really yeah they said they had no vendors and everything was on sale the whole stadium that's amazing zero vendors and so you could walk up there and buy like Jersey for 40 bucks t-shirt everything was so cheap it was like it felt like being in a minor league ballpark but it wasn't I think they have team I think they have like two retired numbers one is like their owner and the other one is Wade bogs because they're part of the contract they get to deal with Wade bogs he has three thousandth hit there so Wade bogs famous devil ray Wade bogs famous booze hound Wade bogs he drank 116 beers on the cross-country flight just no one believes that's just impossible he's not only the giant I refuse to be Wade bogs did that all right here's some trade rumors Rangers are interested in Ray starters Andrew Cashner as well as the Yankees Andrew Miller yeah yeah the cashner Ray starter don't even pottery cashable no it's comma Ray starters comma cash or comma Andrew I read it like an idiot yeah that's my fault everybody I got really confused the rain starters are in addition to more the Rangers and Rays are also discussing Rangers are easy Drew Smiley but not Chris Archer tweets Sullivan of MLB dot-com okay the Rangers have how many guys on the deal that Kobe Lewis is out like on 60 they have Darvus just came off at Darvus just came off of it Derek Holland is on the deal they need they need to start pitching and they are ice-cold other than their W today over they only have a four and a half game lead in the Al West yeah the Astros are creeping yeah I got off to a horrible start they did I had Carlos Carrillo's my fucking MVP this year long season such a long I know it's basically April again yeah that's what's I mean if you're with the trade deadline it's August 1st now I'm a such like 31st now that the day makes that the much of a difference helps so at the end of the day our search July 31st is like it's trade deadline is do it by August 1st or it's like you have till August I think you have like until dinner time August 1st I don't know the exact number used to be I'm used to be like noon on the 30 because that is basically the only thing that's happening right now it's like people like assessing their needs are we buyers or sellers this is like my majority came outside today that today's Yankees Red Sox game yeah is must win oh that's how they whoo he's calling it a must win it's not good on the hill the third game after the all-star break he's calling it a must win because he knows the front office is gonna start to sell because they're playing Boston arrival they lose they're gonna want a price to knock it today I believe so oh that's I think something I can't maybe must watch yes get your popcorn yeah it's interesting though cuz with a second wild card there's so many more teams that think they're in it there's always those delusional teams that you're like you should probably know that I know that like the cuz with the NLCS last year as a wild card you know entry that has got to be a kick in the balls for a lot of those teams like the Yankees last year the pirates what three years in a row whoever is getting the National League wild card is gonna have to face either Clayton Kershaw Madison Bongarner Strasburg Cindergard that is a fucking nightmare for anybody that is on the Pittsburgh I know that one and done game I kind of hate it well you didn't win your division so fuck you I know I get that but I just I hate it in the sense that last year it was the comes first pirates which if baseball was seating and our notivisions right it would have been the two versus the three yeah it's crazy but you didn't win your division I know we need to talk about getting rid of divisions I advocate this yeah the other podcast for basketball I would love it if they got rid of visions and you just want to be I just want to have seeds in all sports because that way it guarantees doesn't guarantee because you never happens but it gives you the best shot at seeing the best teams in your champions they are slightly seated as in the top team plays the wild card no they're sitting in each I guess but it's still not true seating it's not true seating because it's your true ceiling card knows pyro tubs exactly the Dodgers and Mets should have faced each other than wild card last year instead of the Cubs and pirates if they won their division get rid of divisions they're stupid but they play each other the most look at that too oh man no I really think I really hate every day is where you wanted divisions to create regional rivalries because you wanted you know dad to pack up because there's only one division one league yeah no teams west of the Mississippi that's sure they have each league and the other teams must mississippi but in other they kept divisions and play because they like this idea of regional maybe not the 20s but like in the 70s okay let's have you know Yankees and Red Sox they're both American League East we could that's the rivalry we wanted regional rivalries right you know here's why it's bad for any sport because it get we have so we have so much in early games now that it almost doesn't matter well people are under the assumption like all star game doesn't matter as much I think it's because like they never played each other till the World Series and you got an all-star game these guys were like the national league Pete Rose was like I kicked their fucking asses totally and now it's just like they play each other so much else still has the most wins overall we buy a game though now yeah they won for so many years in a row they were the dominant when I was growing up the American League was like the dominant still pretty much yeah the American you grew up around we grew up if you were born in the late 70s you're in the impression at the American League is by far one the most you'd actually be wrong right right here's like Willie Mays and Hank Aaron yeah they're just destroyed him William McCuddy I mean yeah those monsters and then great pitching in the co-fax Bob Gibson Bob Gibson Zebra Shaw I mean it's yeah that was good I but my point again I think I need emphasize a little bit better I think I'm a good job if you let's use basketball as my favorite example how am I gonna get to name these leagues if you don't if you get rid of them well name them first but would you have a nationally American League since you're such an anarchist here on this I almost don't know if I want that anymore you son of a bitch can I explain why though you keep interrupting me I know I'm angry yeah I know you're very upset I'll use this example remember the year that New Jersey Nets made the NBA finals I think like the Lakers versus the Lakers versus the 76ers the Lakers were the best team in basketball okay the 76ers are nets we're like the seventh or eighth best team but every every dumb fan was like oh we got the two best teams facing each other that's the assumption that the East and Western equal they're not yeah there were seven just been dominant since Jordan yeah since Jordan the back then the East was more dominant it's one of those things but you're not guaranteeing you're getting the best team spacing each other you want the best teams to face each other to get rid of these stupid league things and just see it they still have to play the games though well it's baseball it's baseball the seating doesn't work in baseball it doesn't pass all right well maybe not baseball it's like this you're totally cool with a wild card game first of all I think the baseball playoffs are set up very stupidly anyway okay what best of five said best of sevens I think game best of five best of seven yeah because it's 162 games season and you're breaking that down into a best of five for your first time in your division no stop being no change it that's dumb it's a bad I thought you were a same-er-metric guy sample size everything we're breaking down a hundred six you have a one-sick to a best of five as your sample size any team could win then that's why the playoffs are such a crapshoot yeah the best team almost never wins the World Series I don't like to think about this because yeah in the wild card era the best team rarely wins like what what was last team that was last time the team with the best record overall won the world I want to say the 98 Yankees but I'm not positive I'd have to look that up the team with the best record wins the world series I yeah because the Mets the Royals had the fourth best record Cardinals had the best record last year yeah Cardinals got then pirates and Cubs then Royals it also has a lot to do with who gets hot in a baseball and that's I know that's why I think you should take away some of the randomness so what do you propose it a best of 20 best two out of three that's two out of three I think to get to the plan is a two out of three you want to do you want that one game playing for the four five I guess that's exciting but they really sucks if you're the four or five seed okay I am not completely opposed to a best best of three yes then the first round is best of seven and I'll see us best of seven World Series best of seven keep them best of seven I think that isn't that long as fuck though yeah but make it also we have the whole I don't know how baseball keeps doing this I guess you're only adding they are dumb you're adding four games total yeah basically this is where we're playing in November while we shouldn't be we shouldn't be let me explain why the regular season ends October 6 this year why the regular season should never go into October they need to stop doing this the second year or the regular season is bleeding in October they did start the season till April 6 this year number after 9 11 when jeter had that you know Mr.
November yeah well if there's a terrorist attack I'll let it slide you know I'll let you know but yeah last year last year the world series would have gone in November yeah if it would have gone seven games would have gone in second I think some of it was like the day I think it would have never first wasn't how we night the day after Halloween the world series ended possibly I was so bitter by then oh yeah I mean it sucks in teams out of it but I definitely don't believe that regular season games going October every the game should every year to start on April 1st I don't care for first is on a Wednesday and that's weird started in April and then end the regular season by so short and spring training is what you're saying you don't need that many spring training games we're starting earlier if you want start the game so we you know spring training usually pictures and catches report what February 14th yeah yeah so then you know pictures and support in mid-February let's say why not have them approach another week or two earlier and then start you still on 30 spring training games start them at late February I'm pretty sure the last week of February in Arizona is just as warm as the first week of March in Arizona I just I don't that's that I don't get because I think they're hurting their ratings too because if your team's out of it but if you play longer let's say that you are you saying it's the same amount of time playing no see my games play it's a good thing you're gonna fuck pictures up just switch the calendar do you like World Series games in November for no I hate that November it's fall I also think that the NCAA tournament should end in March March yeah I don't like that I hate that that that's changed too recently they need to start there they need to start March Madness in fucking March like earlier in March I guess that those kids have to go to school yeah well everyone always says that one of the best days of sports is opening day they open a Monday and national title game yeah yeah so it's a fun all day of that that's true I remember going to open April 1st then I'll be okay you know sure whatever I just I don't know I think that's just stupid maybe I was mad because I had this fear that the Cubs were gonna lose the wild card game last year but I feel better pirates fans Pittsburgh's been a great team in the three years in a row than one yeah but the thing is they don't have to have any wild card most of the best team or no so just have four playoff teams possibly I also kind of don't like that when I compared other sports baseball's the few playoff teams yeah long season you was playoff games a third of the teams go to the post season where do you get that number okay 10 teams go out of 30 that's exactly so still the fewest of any league all right well so give so let's just let's recap yeah us playoff teams you as playoff games but by far the longest season yeah there is there's something a little wrong with that why is it 162 it used to be 154 yeah well here's an article that I'm gonna read and we could talk about a little bit here it has come out that will be could reduce the schedule length with the collective bargaining agreements set to expire into summer negotiations for new CBA lock out if that happens maybe because I guess what the owners are gonna say well can we guess after I actually give the information of the listeners yeah thanks officials from a july baseball in the players you're discussing the length of the regular season schedule reports David Landon of newsday specifically the idea of streamlining a weird choice of word I feel like from 162 back to 154 games is picking up steam for London as it would be less taxing on the players than the current format the American League previously switched from 154 schedule 162 and 61 and then the nationally fall to the next year that is weird so in the 61 seasons I know this is a Joe and Bridal blow your mind by reading that for one season they had the American League played a longer schedule than the national league was it because of Roger Maris maybe that's why the asterisk next to his name yeah he didn't 60 why I didn't realize I knew it was it was changed in 61 Wow the year he did it in 61 61 I did not know that nationally can play one 54 that same year though that's strange the two leagues not playing the same on games and that's crazy yeah they kind of operated as independent leagues we did a meet in the World Series that's correct because then they all added the DHD and helped in which is another weird thing in sports I kind of like our complete they are different leagues completely yeah they have a commissioner that sees overall of it but yeah a DH it's a little funny I mean that some of that quirkiness I guess you could say about baseball is part of the reason I love it we talked about earlier a podcast a few months ago how we like that every ballparks different yeah makes going to a new ballpark exciting or every NBA and every NHL and every football stadium they're all about the same they're all hundred yards are 94 feet you know they're all they're all they're just a little different but they're standard yeah but baseball stadiums all have their own unique thing right the dimensions are different the outfield are different ajacks or nothing a pillars you know different you know different you know different you know little facets to it that do make it kind of like an event well let me see this is 75th anniversary of DiMaggio's Street-Ending and I read an article in Sports Illustrated saying DiMaggio played 154 games never went west of the Mississippi travel was so fucking easy you know they talk about how we went out west and lost his street he's playing a fucking Cleveland yeah out west west so I mean that is what we're talking about as compared to the Cubs right before the break playing 24 games 24 days there was games for people zig-zagging across the country wake up at five in the morning for a day game you have a couple extra games in there too it's a night it's a fucking nightmare the travel schedule and that's why the players are actually okay with reducing the move they definitely would be but the owners would say money yeah right money they would have paid them last you right let me read on here today's teams have just 21 days off during the 183 day regular season which London notes has led to complaints from the players because of a grilling traveling schedules they face one reason there are calls for a shorter schedule late to the league stricter performance enhancing drug testing on greenies yep you're right PDS are attempting to use in part because they help the players get through a rigorous schedule but with tests becoming harder to beat drugs perhaps aren't the enticing option they were in the past which is a good thing you know keeps a level playing field regardless of the players issues with the current setup cutting the schedule could be unrealistic because of the negative financial consequences likely to accompany it teams are unsurprisingly reluctant to sign off on losing revenue from attendance in television ratings players would also be in danger making less money to as commissioner Rob Manfred laid out earlier this week this is what Manfred is saying there are ways to produce more off days in the schedule some of those have very significant economic ramifications that if in fact or we're going to go down these roads those economic ramifications are going to have to be shared by all other relevant parties that Manfred you want to work less usually you get paid less but we are prepared to discuss the schedule issues and make proposals that are responsive to the ones that we have received from the MLB PA the players best chance to ensure this is not no longer man for talking the players best chance to ensure the lighter schedule continue to rake in the same salaries would be to convince the league that the quality of performance will rise if they are in a more rest rights line and indeed the factors that this factors into the MLB PA executive director Tony Clark's argument Clark says I don't agree that there would need to be discussion about a loss of salary or rollback of salaries because if there are lessening of those games the day of every game goes up as well it's gonna point there I feel like I'm not talking about raising ticket when I'm talking about is the idea that if I'm a fan of coming to a ballpark and I'm purchasing a season ticket I know I'm going to see my guys as a result of XYZ being done to make improvements to their overall health it's interesting you know it's one of those things where if you did reduce the schedule the plot you could add a couple more playoff games right the games would be more meaningful I think that they added the one-game playoff based off of the year prior was that the best day in baseball history do you remember that was was the Yankees and Ray's had that one game playoff longoria hit like you go ahead home they were down like seven nothing the race and then just came roaring back I was at Timothy with all this shit was going on with like the Orioles and yeah I remember yeah that was a great day and I feel like you're right I think that was fucking bananas why they added the one-game play because one game is exciting I mean that's the whole NFL it's one game at a time right makes it really exciting why is it okay for the NFL to have one game it's like anything can happen uh-huh well to me it's they play six to double A 16 regular season games and they have a 16 right so one game playoffs makes sense right everything is all weekly schedule okay once a week right it's for baseball though everything is just these but if you didn't win okay so you didn't win your division right so you don't deserve to be in the playoffs technically okay because baseball you always had to win your division yes now you get that added bonus of having it go from five teams to four teams right and that one extra day where it's I mean it's do or die how fucking good are you how good is your starting pitcher how good is your ace it comes down to ace if you have to be a team with an ace yeah that teams like in recent memory the Oakland A's or the Pittsburgh Pirates teams that are great overall teams that Garrett Cole slayer they're playing to it he's still a really good pitcher that teams that playing to a team concept though yeah get punished in that one game I'm just trying to play double I know I like it I love the one game plan because my team won yeah I want the home run couch Warburton the Elle Gany River yeah it's my favorite home run of all time yeah I've ever seen in my life okay I was there live of course but it's the favorite that I've ever watched a club player head was that ball he blasted and then flipped the bat that was that was awesome right it was a great game hit everything that game had been just clearing and one point oh Sean Rodriguez picked up a water cooler yeah area to go in nine going a complete game shut out in a one gonna do or die game jump on that early that was a great game yeah I understand that I just start to come on I mean if we lost the reason money ball does you know I just think of that old idiot fan who's like Billy Beanstalk doesn't work in the playoffs like it just doesn't work for the A's the idea of being an advanced metrics team has worked and it does work getting them to the playoffs but they think about it they go anything because it's true you throw out a lot of stuff stealing bases if you are under a certain percentage is a dumb move as a team but you're you know late game night inning you're down by run you're gonna pinch run that's right that's who I was thinking of course you are it's a great move you're gonna do that that was like a throw all that shit out the window yeah you throw all those advanced nerd fan grass stats out the window when the game's do a die thing you win the game it's the playoffs I just am wondering would it be better to edit another team for the playoffs would it be better could you add six teams or do you think so like right now you could do six any no it has to be before or a right the okay so right now if the season ended the wild card is Dodgers in the first spot in the first spot and nationally and then tied with the Mets in the Marlins so now you have three wild cards you like I say the season ended what do they do if there's a tie I guess you have a one game between over there's a three-way tie yeah I don't know what you do the Marlins and Mets play each other see who plays the Dodgers I guess you have to see how they fucking the regular same it's insane yeah it would be super exciting as a fan who's a Fernandez versus Thor to go see who plays Kershaw yeah it's great it's it's super exciting I do like the one game playoff it goes I mean the most famous calls in sports history is off of a one-game playoff the shot around the world the Giants win the pattern all right Giants win the game because those two teams the Giants and Dodgers ended the season tied Ralph Ranka yeah Bobby Thompson yeah totally I met I met someone recently whose uncle or grandfather was that announcer really no who's the pitcher gave it up Ralph Branca yeah he's the pitcher gave it up and I met I think as a granddaughter who the hell was I when I met this person you're taking a mr. T's daughter no I'm not I know mr. T's daughter to Eric and the Clark's just in Chicago I don't know I was somewhere within the last week and they brought up oh my uncle's Ralph Branca yeah talking about stuff in the house our name it doesn't matter all right well we had this little fun thing we wanted to prepare for you okay right now I don't like that conversation though it is interesting to think about what to do I'm a little surprised at your resistance being a man I got he wants the best in 1877 you won the division if you won the National League there was no anything he's one so you think we should go back to that even no no well then you're okay with some change you know that's what I'm trying to get it it's just interesting to me that every other sport makes a new world change every season and you baseball it takes decades to get anything done yeah I thought we're gonna pitch clocks this year we don't I thought there's more penalties for people stepping out of the box there wasn't a bet today between John Lackey and O'Dore Ruth and or door or Ed Rube Ned O'Dore tough name yeah where they guy where almost two full minutes went out went on without a pitch did you see that a bat no I didn't he kept calling the bad I got a call in timeout because I was gonna get quick pitched he kept on timeout because he wasn't ready wasn't ready it was annoying so Lackey was getting away so Lackey was waiting extra longer which calls him called timeout again and then the entire venture to say come on this is bullshit let's go it was it was like you know what I did see I wonder if you like was like I think they were talking that's written it though yeah totally that's psychopath O'Dore out there he is a little nutty but come on I mean you taking a swing at Patisse who's not ready versus charging John Lackey it's not doing that Lackey six six what's our door five four he's a small guy yeah and even so even hit Batista was unexpected yeah when you're running out of the mound that's expected the pitcher could see you coming it's like all right I'm ready for you you know I think when pitchers being the guys in the American League there's such fucking pussies because they don't have to bet yeah like that your Donald Ventura versus Machado thing what do you throw like 98 in the fucking 98 in the back and I met with those 98 it fucking bought teases but I never saw catcher not try to stop the bad for going after him Perez just said go the royals to the royal pissed off or get annoying they're like listen you do this crap all the time you act like a jerk he was mad that he gave up a home run and then he threw at their best player yeah so Perez I think president said go get a buddy go knock him out this kid needs to learn it's one of those things because you can see him going like my bed my bed afterwards and that's like Perez and you know it's not a little press press because you made no effort most catches making effort to run and try to stop the guy from getting the picture no effort was made you know who the catcher was when Ryan being Robin Ventura was it I don't know he's like yeah and he's like he's like you can kind of see him trying to stop a venture a little bit but like some those catchers are like little fellas yeah he's he's like 5 9 5 10 but big yeah I mean they're all the way I putch putch yeah they got all right so here's what we want to do this is something we mentioned on the podcast last week that would be a fun little thing to do and hockey not so much anymore but they used to have the divisions named they're talking to do it again like the noris stavision so the name it you mentioned how the aowash to be renamed the no Ryan division correct because three of the five teams have his jersey retired right he only didn't play for the A's and the Mariners that's right angels Rangers and Astros that's great and so we thought oh this would be fun I like that idea I think I had a cool yes one of the things I did like although I thought the ceremony was a little long in baseball the all-star game that's the and all bands I was not called the Tony Quinn I like it a lot I like it a lot too and then now you have the rock crew I like it a lot big fan of you know rock crew never stood in the batter's box the same for anyone pitcher really he would if it was a career breaking boss he moved up in the batter's box got a lot of ass was moved back and he would he said he couldn't believe it was because most majorly hitters are in the same spot always also it's just a myth it's a myth that he converted to Judy that is a man I know I know his wife is Jewish but you can't right as a tournament they convert fucking sandalier all right so let's go around okay I'm yours I'm a lot you lead off because I'll have some thoughts give me a division a L central the I go one of two ways you see I wanted to for this one be George Brett division okay I like it what's your other one satchel page non actual player but you play for the Kansas City monarchs it's like a great nod to the great history tradition of the Negro leagues satchel pages and all quite possibly the greatest picture of all time but I'm gonna go with the best player in the history of the American League central teams and that would be George Brett okay I like it even though he never played in the American League central he played the West yes I thought of I thought of royals play in the central they do that's why I was in the national I was in the national I was in the atmosphere in the history of the Somme okay because the central is the weird one the central but the central is right the whites did the Frank Thomas play in the central yes he did he did because they became the central 95 but they did when the American League West because they were in the West in a degree yeah just a little strange and that comes were in the East so I got a city divided yeah I agree with you one of those American League East now this is a richer history here the centrals don't have a rich history yeah I've been around for a couple decades so you think and maybe I'm gonna say Babe Ruth maybe I'm gonna say Ted Williams I'm gonna go completely non-controversial Lou Gehrig because of the disease also he was really good he was great because he better than Williams or Ruth no no he was good he's up there yeah no he's up there so you just split the difference is that why I split in the dead I want the argument no one's gonna if you name it the Babe Ruth division it's pretty obvious and people can be like what the fuck about Ted Williams and then you're like what about Lou Gehrig I think I like Babe Ruth better than Ted Williams because he played on the Red Sox 2 fuck he played on the Red Sox 2 it's pretty easy ballpark for him but then he could stay with me for Babe Ruth they built it for him or he was a pitcher how's he was a pitcher yeah Babe Ruth is like he's the icon are you on Ruth I think I got to go Ruth he's the icon for baseball to me I mean Ted Williams the greatest hitter what do you call the American League the Babe Ruth League that that's different then I could call the A.L. East Ted Williams okay so that's all right that I like that I don't Ruth is the American League okay he's the whole league okay Ted Williams gets the A.L.
East all right let's switch over to the NL we didn't okay we already talked about somewhere you know NL West Willie Mays okay okay I'm on board I like it now no argument and L East I'm skipping the central one's Hank Aaron and Garin okay I might have an argument okay but I'm gonna save it okay and I'll central I'm not gonna like this one it's here Stan mutual only Cardinal didn't play ever in the N.L. Central I think that matters to play in any he just played the National League it's yeah it's true they didn't have it then I just think maybe you I think you had to play in that's why it's a more of a modern baby modern divisions you need to give it a modern player didn't play in the East no they didn't you're right but their teams did yeah yeah the East and the East all those divisions I'm basically all of it on they all started in 1969 right I'm basing all of it on where that team is like Hank Aaron is brave I mean I know he's a brewer too but he's a brave brave's played the reason I have something to say about Hank Aaron is who do we mean who do we name the National League after oh honus Wagner yeah because I could have honus Wagner for the East when I go home in Swagner for the East and then have Hank Aaron be named the National League because don't you think Willie Mays is better than Hank Aaron he was better overall that's for sure I mean that's really a toss up between it's really cool about Hank Aaron the way all this home runs he still 3,000 yeah and he also has yeah yeah well interesting thing though about Hank Aaron he had 2,500 more bats in Babe birth well that's not his fault that he didn't booze all day and fucking but a lot of suspensions a lot of people do not really into the stands and fake really if it was a modern player there'd be a lot of people would have problems with him as a role model yeah just talk about that stuff back there no I remember someone posted something about if Monica Lewinsky looked as Marilyn Monroe you know or something like that and I'm like well no it's a difference they were just trying to say how did you get away with that and I this person posted this how Robert Kennedy killed her yeah well I said as a joke I mean I go by the way Marilyn and have killed a lot of people think it's because of her involvement in hooking up a lot of people turning general and a president yeah who are brothers but also back then they didn't dig into your personal life but no yeah I didn't do that FDR had affairs they all had affairs in the press just in a right about because they thought they did write about Thomas Jefferson though at the time or centuries later they had brutally dirty presidential campaigns back then really 1800 presidential campaign I think that's Adams Jefferson part two and I believe Jefferson's people accused Adams of being a hermaphrodite really and Adam started a rumor Jefferson died so people didn't vote for him really I mean that was like bananas there's one like so Alexander Hamilton duels what Aaron Burr there's like some I mean shit was bananas back then like yeah people are hitting each other with canes in the Congress you know there's like well cuz there was enough press so people knew like I mean bash in the center of South Carolina the back of the head of the cane and then people send him canes like they wore pieces of the shattered cane on their necks is like solidarity that's hilarious like the and then and then the press came about where they're like all right listen we can a lot of knowledge of people let's keep it down and now it's too much of everything changed in the 90s I think OJ changed a lot of shit cuz like CNN went this is what you want right fucking tabloid news and yeah right about you have one of the biggest stories ever yeah OJ Simpson all the things that went along with this so much theater right at the same time 24 news networks were emerging yeah then the internet exploded a few years after that yeah because they had they started with a rack war one that was like 24 seven like perfectly molded TV war porn yeah war like it was a video game war porn yeah just like this boom and then like three years later OJ so yeah and then what was a while started in 1986 the messenger became a thing probably after Y4 that 90s everything exploded in Facebook came out 2005 2006 and yeah and now we're too connected we were way too connected yeah I'm like I'm saying this as I'm hosting a podcast and I got a little bit cold that's just getting all of our information off of the internet and no thank you for listening yeah I tell your friends really yeah I just why I think here's the thing I love that we're connected but there's pros and cons because information is so readily available misinformation is so readily available sure and most people don't care enough to double check it the number people I see who just share things or I think you not see what website that was from channel news 18 dot com explains why Adam Sandler is gonna move to my town in Wisconsin like the Nivet ever seen those posts there's one that was going around like Donald Trump said in people magazine that like if there's any party that was easy to take over be the Republicans they're stupid yes someone it never said that no I would like I saw that people are posting it all over and I was like I went to like Snopes yes no it's pretty reliable yeah because their whole job is to say whether or not some strudener right no agenda right and people he was not even like no no it's what you know people just wanted to have a memes or everything now I'm not saying by the way Donald Trump I have had a couple jokes stolen in meme form and not even kidding you I recently tweeted I tweeted this immediately and I know I was the first to tweet it I said the same people who are baking for a Pokemon go are getting ready to draft their fantasy football teams you know yeah I call I think I said if you're a few hate Pokemon go if you make fun of Pokemon go but you play things about you like a bit of shit or something like that right and I got a lot of retweets and people liked it and now the last couple days I'm seeing a cat Williams meme or kept women says head to the side and it says the same people make one of Pokemon go play football like that oh really you son this happens constantly a few I've had five or six other community friends who had jokes going and it's been fun to me for and no one cares people don't give a shit only comedians care about jokes do you know who's that guy like I fat Jew who fat Jew was an Instagram account or Twitter who was just an aggregator of other people's material you just look for other people's materials and post it and never give them credit and he had the following people thought it was amazing he had a book deal CAA sign uh-huh one of the top agencies in the world signed him yeah and then finally after all this backlash they dropped him and then Tommy Central said we're not meeting with him anymore right but they were going to because the industry right now wants YouTube stars fine stars Instagram models all this kind of shit they don't care about talent they want people of eyeballs already patched they want heat they're just heat seekers for heat seekers right which almost makes it seem like I like you have a worth of living there's a case right right because I can do so many people I've seen who are like Twitter rock stars and then they go to stand up and just like they're terrible stick them stick them characters I'll say his name Rob Delaney is set on come on sets of all time he's a friend of mine is he yeah sorry look I think he's amazing on Twitter he's one of the best Twitter and I have seen a show but yeah he's no the show my sister loves the show told uh catastrophe yes it's on Amazon Rob is a great dude my sister loves the show and I've done when I first moved here I've done a lot of shows with him he has great bits I do agree that that came all set was not good I don't know who saw that set in Greenlight or if they just told him to do whatever yes that was we're not tried in true bits I don't know what that was well yeah again I'm not saying anything about him as a person but it was a mistake for that set to go out there it was it's been ripped off you can't rip down you can't even find it right I apologize I did not mean to me no no no this was not coming from a place where and some of those YouTube but not saying YouTube star but so many people who they try to push in a stand up yes it's just like I feel bad for them because they're getting bad advice they're being made a fool of in a sense yeah they have no chops for it and they can't feel good to eat shit like that I was talking with I know this is like a little bit off top I was talking about like Beth's yelling about this I don't know if she wants me to say her name about that she we were talking about how sweet bath sweet bath you know who's a digivis yes true story got true story the red mama made up sweet bath in Chicago didn't know that yes because she has a bit where she says it's different she has a bit where she's only one person calls me and then she joked to me says yeah but no I was the one person at Town Hall Pub in Chicago the show she ran for potter boss sisters on stage I called me I said give up for the potter boss and give up for best darling sweet bath as I like to call her and she was like making jokes I can remember what I played off of whatever her cell was and that was actually the only good that I've ever had in that room I did that room about five or six times in eight shit every fucking we're there and that kid punched out the windows when I heard that was fun though I mean her scary but it was fun yeah oh so she told me that like they have industry has such like a need to find the next like female comedian that a lot of times I'm not saying this about any if you think I'm talking about you I'm not whoever you are you know a lot of women listen this pocket but that they end up throwing up a lot of women too early because they're just the next and then like people walk away from that going like women are funny no they're already that that that no I hate that it's like how come like who there's people that have been around for a really long time who are not on TV who are fucking awesome like Jackie Cajun once I saw her on she's great she's great she did my show a couple months ago and killed she's a murderer really funny she's one of those people who murders consistently but they went like the next the next the next the next you know that's when it fit a profile yeah I love Jackie but she's you know she's not 25 no you know that kind of thing that's not a knock on her I don't think they look like a 25 they should but they're not but they're not that's not how it goes and this is kind of like to bring back to baseball it's like listen some of these people need to see 500 bass triple A yeah you know they need let's let's keep that a lot of players because it behooves them to do so I mean but like yeah yeah this is a team that's struggling at the box office who's like let's just bring up it's like when the Cubs Bob Sterling Castro in 2010 and he actually had a good year in 2010 yeah best year actually statistically still this day highest time base percent I think it's the greatest season by a shortstop in like modern Cubs history probably he was 20 years old Russell Russell I'm a bit like in terms of like war the Cubs Sean Dunstan was not good no he was very overrated I mean he was a personality yeah you can and at that time shorts up for good they're just defensively that's also true there were no offensive short stops in the late in but ripkin but that was and then and then and then a rod and no bar and then cheater yeah that's that's that's that was all early 2000s like 90 or 2000 yeah short stuff was like a little wiener who could talk to us he Smith it was obviously Smith it was all as he Smith every year was I see Smith and the airl Templeton kale ripkin in the a lot and ripkin actually had ripkin rate yeah but good rate he was like a big motherfucker and that was kind of like weird cast around 2010 bad at 300 exactly had a 347 OBP I don't know what it's like he was I knew he had like seven or eight home runs in a lot of power but that was mad hot though started great yeah I remember the throw-humbers first a bat in the face of the bases clearing triple is next about he though I bunch of RBI's in that game is like a record the Cubs should have waited to bring up as well I was trying to get out yeah because they actually started his service clock earlier and that was a desperation moving 2010 the 2007 2008 Cubs won their division and got to swap in the first round the oh and then Jim Hendry overreacted the overreactive by a couple dumb moves in the off season they replaced Kerry Wood with Kevin Gregg as a closer which was a terrible move made your bullpen way weaker then they traded Mark de Rosa as well which was back to the super utility guy could play everywhere because they want to get more left-handed so then they got Milton Bradley oh that's a that's an abuser yes that's a guy where it's like are you're been on eight or nine different teams you're a bad person personally and you're a bad person professionally yeah if you're a real close poison you're a real close poison fine but my point about Chapman earlier was that he wanted to give him a second chance well yeah cuz I've heard any reports about him in a bad teammate you're a bad teammate yeah I mean cuz then it's like a third chance you're getting that's two strikes and then three it's like do we even that's Milton Bradley that's Milton Bradley oh nine comes where's that Sean Ross you know I come still had a winning record they're like 83 and 77 and so they were that record to be going into 2010 told started off real crappy they're like we gotta bring a Castro because we need a nighter he actually worked out as a knider but overall it probably hurt his development a little bit and it started his service clock way sooner than it should have yeah they could have been because he was 20 years old time even though he had a good year still sometimes I think and it's going back to comedy you bring someone along too soon you see it a lot I mean like a set if you're just bitter because I'm like for a still right I feel like I'm a four a ball player I think I'm going over Japan being a Matt Burton I think yeah maybe or maybe go back to Chicago become a co-cabana yeah well that's what the internet's doing I met a guy he's got his Twitter at bad banana I met him out here because I remember Steve Bernhard that's solving son for the pilot Steve's like hey come on my friends we bar regulars in the pilot so come on I'll help you for the best guy we're not there and at the after party I'm at this dude he goes yeah I just I run a Twitter handle and then the guy one the showroom or something I'm asking if I want to come out and do some punch up on the pilot off Twitter you got to come out they flew out to LA and hate him to punch up on a pilot I like the best Twitter great Twitter is a Twitter at that point great Twitter I might be Twitter yeah Twitter yeah Twitter he's great tweets are really funny he's based out of Lincoln Nebraska or Omaha somewhere in Nebraska yeah first time ever in LA Wow and he had over like 800,000 two or five hours now probably over a million now there's a story all off of just fucking just being a really good on Twitter so where is your where you know I mean like it gets to the point where they keep searching if they're getting vine stars from New Jersey Instagram models from Louisiana they're kind of hurting what's the point of being in LA and this is everything I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm so frustrated I want to move but it is annoying to the extent where it's like all right well you this is stupid why don't you go discover me somewhere else I want to discover me in a lot I'm unwrapped and I would have had better shut they don't do on rock JFL auditions anymore they don't they don't I only New York they don't do it they didn't have it when I did they have unwrapped auditions in Chicago Austin Cleveland or not Cleveland maybe Cleveland Atlanta all these other places they haven't named who's going to JFL Montreal but I've heard some of the names some of the names are a little no one because it's like this person already has a TV show this person is finishing their third late night spot this past weekend what are you doing you're supposed to be getting new faces aren't new faces was like Pete Holmes Kumeo and were they established at the time already yes of course they were so why are they doing new face both shows in mind Rory was in mind we're still both over these are people who had done amazing these are people who had done to be said is a heavy hitter who'd already done TV when I saw that list I was kind of like is it everyone that's like for the futures game yeah I mean also you mean it's like they should be them it's like oh they're a minor league future that's stupid I think they should be someone who needs this to launch a career it used to be that way yeah I I was unwrapped and they kind of told me to be unwrapped because they also needed some sort of like sexiness to the industry to go well my first year out here they had unwrapped auditions I had a call back so I was like all right first year out here got a call back I'm excited next year I'm gonna nail this thing yeah next year I'm like right around the time I'm seeing people my Chicago front saying hey come see me at the Lincoln launch we're doing much raw additions I'm like what's going on in LA when how come I heard about LA auditions and I talked to people they're like oh they're only not doing rough this you're just wrapped and I'm like all right well that screws me because I'm not wrapped and then I remember talking to someone who's part of the festival and they were basically through a friend said yeah he would have better chance if you move back to if you've been back to Chicago to do the auditions that's crazy what is going on anyway this is we weren't supposed to talk about this but it's just interesting to see how the world works sometimes yeah I try to relate to baseball by talking about bringing out people to I think it's fair that's fair right yeah well that's I like a fine stars they had lines on the walls baseball finds the other thing all right well it's interesting we did touch on the trade well who's your who's your central guy then did you say so you would name it after no I didn't say you know banks I'd do any banks but if you make a good point though about picking you pick new deal I picked him I was just thinking that you have to pick someone cuz the essentials were tough for me for a all-central I'd Frank Thomas or Jim to me I thought you had to pick someone who actually played in the essential and they all central only existed for since 1995 I'm going with guys that play on teams that are currently yes which I understand that way in thinking but if I were to go the other way where it's a modern-vision so you pick modern players who holes I think you'd have to go out with pools and have to be the pool holes division he had the best OPS in those years but how would you have the pool holes division while he's currently in the Ryan division I was like you'd have to wait for a player to return yeah yeah you couldn't do it after any existing players for the sake of ego because that's great for contract negotiation don't we need to do some diversity that we need like a Clemente in there pools is Dominican all right we can have the Clemente division but never played in the NLS Central like I said right yeah for the east but the east has Hank Aaron I think baseball within a couple years of teams have to move Tampa can't say in Tampa but not making a mama Oakland Oakland might move to Vegas that now the and I'll not the commissioner a man for it is already came out and said he wants them to stay in the Bay Area where would you move it because Oakley actually has a population rise going because San Francisco it's an extensive with the tuck industry is still booming it's still booming and people are having trouble with for him living San Francisco it's insane in the New York San Jose is third or fourth yeah actually there's more people than San Francisco so more people moving in Oakland yeah so they're building up a little artist communities and stuff like that and that's a jersey of yeah you can't afford to live in Manhattan go across River New Jersey right it's just you know pay that expensive train ride over I guess though yeah and I think people are gonna start to do that more a little bit of a tunnel crowd over yeah pretty much that's why the major baseball wants to keep the A's in Oakland so they don't have to go to watch the Giants play pretty well they just think it's a rise market why you're moving out to like out of like the Fulton County or whatever the fuck are they out of Fulton County they're moving next year like way out into the suburbs because it's too hard for white people to come in traffic that's so annoying they think that their fans are out in the suburbs which is like when I mean or near it is why I hope they're not getting any Atlanta city money then well that what look at where Levi Stadium is it's in fucking Santa Clara I know closer San Jose almost yeah it is I think they're the farthest any for any farthest from the town that they say that they are yeah well I mean the Texas Rangers they're in Texas the white Sox are struggling on the south side there's been talks of them going like Orland Park for years or Addison before that which is like a western suburb which I was that was too far north it's not northwest but it's west but more than northern end yeah that'd be weird I mean something has to give with a couple of these teams and baseball saying well maybe we should look into Vegas as a market to I don't like Indianapolis doesn't have Portland Portland is a good rainy maybe too rainy that'd be a retractable roof like that in Seattle or what I'm an apple is I thought Indianapolis is like 11th of 12th population size and immediately think about you did this way think about if you made the race go up to Indy they became the Indian something you know very birds now you have a new rivalry going with the white Sox it's so close yeah you have a rivalry going with the Tigers because that's pretty Detroit to Indianapolis right there Indians are right there the Indians aren't far either but then if you move you know fuck Mike Pence I think but then you're moving the team out of the Al East so then you got to move a team into the Al East just a division so then I think you move the Indians over to the Al East the fact that the Brewers and the Astros are just willing to change it's kind of shitty well I think they did those are both teams without a world series title if you don't have a rich history you can move Milwaukee has a world series yes but that's the walk you brave correct and that's the Brewers yeah I mean when the Houston Astros flipped over I remember thinking like well yeah because now they have a rivalry with the Rangers more they can develop yeah yeah interstate Texas think Texas is our own country anyway I will keep it in Texas San Antonio team that's too much Texas too much Texas the Carolinas are just too big on my league baseball to one team yeah I've heard people float the idea of going to Charlotte but they're like now we like our minor league teams here now now it sounds like a great idea no Orleans Nashville is in the Eastern time zone too so you can keep a Nashville Nashville Nashville be good I just don't think they have to support it Des Moines what about Des Moines no stop it with your eye all right well that's been the podcast bridal blows your mind will be a seven-brim back next week I didn't have one I know we wanted to name the divisions I
