"My analysis suggests that they're having an excellent season so far. Jeff Sullivan, hello, Jeff. I've been and Meg. I've been introduced. Wow. Nothing Sam already. And also snubbing. The third friend in the 5th beatle of effectively wild grip is free of the athletic hello grant. I don't know whether your George Martin or Billy Preston or stew sutcliffe or someone else, but we're happy to have you regardless. I'll go with Billy Preston, because if you saw that Peter Jackson documentary, when he came in, everyone else stopped bickering. He was a calming presence. So that's what I am. You guys, if I'm not here, you guys are just sniping at each other. Just grant tickling the keys over there. So we still like baseball. And the show and each other enough to continue this tradition. So here we are. The another edition there. How much enough? Enough. Well, at first I wondered, I mean, we've already drafted several things. We like baseball. So I wondered whether I had exhausted my resource my well of things that I liked about baseball, but I discovered that no, there are still some things that I like that we have not drafted yet. They may have come up at some point in the previous 1999 episodes because I think I've expressed every thought that I have ever had or will have in my head at some point during the run of this podcast and probably I've just repeating myself at this point. So thanks everyone for sticking around. But yeah, still some stuff I like about this silly sport. And I hope the same is true of all of you. Of course, of course. So much love to give. The love you take is equal to, I guess that wasn't a Billy Preston lyric, but he was around perhaps anyway. I don't think he was around. But that was a different album. Yeah, right. So we're all here and we're doing the same thing that we've done before. So that's fun. I guess I could maybe quickly recap what has been drafted before, just a rapid fire, just read off the effectively wild wiki, I was just reading some of these things and some of them, I don't know what they were. Just based on the description on the wiki. I really couldn't tell you what exactly it is, but maybe you'll all recall or the listeners will. So if you don't want to be spoiled about episode 500 9 96 in 1500, skip ahead a minute or just go back and listen to them first. How much does it bother you that it was 9 96? It does actually. I don't attempt, do you remember why it was why was it 9 96? Well, for two reasons. One is that we had a preexisting date with Kevin Goldstein, who vowed to only appear once we got to episode a thousand. And two is the episode a thousand was my farewell. So at a certain point, I don't know, roughly around episode 9 97, you decided it wasn't going to be the show's farewell, but up to that point we thought that that was going to be the end of it. And so I think that it made sense to squeeze a few hits into the final week. Yeah, okay. Anyway, I don't know who in their right mind does 2000 episodes of a podcast, but I'm glad that it's still going so that we can convene again today. So I was going to ask if you actually wish it had ended with Sam's departure. We've had some good times in the past several years. Would you say enough? Yeah, I would say enough good times. That I'm pleased that it didn't end there. So here's what was drafted. Here's what Sam has drafted in the past. Babe Ruth and Ernie shore, I guess specifically the Ernie shore relieving Babe Ruth. And pitching a no hitter from that point. It was Ernie shore as The Simpsons. What is that guy's name? Why am I blanking on it? Grant, you know. Some stuff. You know, the one where Homer's got the coworker and everything goes wrong. Yeah, exactly. So Ernie, shore is Frank Grimes. Right. Right. And then radio commercials during baseball broadcasts, which was a frequent topic during your days co hosting this podcast. GM's making predictions, which was also a frequent topic of the podcast and your writing. The worst ever sacrifice bunt. Oh, that's a great one. That's a great pick. Let's just do it again. I don't remember what the worst ever sacrifice, but Mark Waller's had a historic case of the yips and in the middle of it, Doug glanville bunted on two O. Mark Waller's a throne like 26 balls in a row, and then Doug playing, he'll just bunt it on two O to sacrifice a guy over. Matt Kemp's rap album. Still want to hear it. He stood in the studio.

"However, you would word that booth in myth's history. They called more games than Lindsay Nelson Ralph kind or any other combo. So it's really hard to imagine get them wrong without that can in the middle. So I imagine these things happen. I mean, we have so little info on these kinds of negotiations, but they tend to work out and you know, I think that's fans seem very excited for the upcoming year and apparently that's going to be on the national stage on Sunday. So I think they'll get their voices the way they're used to. Yep, no question about it. All right, Sarah, good to talk with you. Thanks for doing this. Awesome. Thank you, Vassar. Doug glanville is an analyst for ESPN and for the marquee network. He played 9 years in the big leagues and Doug's. I was thinking about this as I was getting ready today. I've had a lot of conversations with players through the years after they retire about their career statistics. On a grading scale and you teach a class that you come, we're going to get into that in a moment, but from a plus to F, how well do you know your own personal statistics from your 9 years in the big leagues? Well, it's funny you say that because I used to literally do that to my teammates every spring training. I'd bring out the media guide when it would come out. Really? How well do you know yourself? And people had really had no idea what their stats. But of course, I'd ask them how many triples they had in a ball or something like that. So it wasn't exactly easy questions, but you know, I stumped them very often, so that's how you got to do it. Make it spicy. Okay, I'm going to throw some stats at you. See what you know. Career homers. Well, all right, I'm going to add an asterisk to this. 59. And I should have had 60 because I hit a ball down the left field line in Colorado, Dante Bichette overran it. It ricocheted, rolled into left center and I scored. They ruled it a double and a two base hour, even though he didn't even come close to the ball. And then the scorer official score tried to change it. But he went on vacation. So when he came back, there was like a 24 hour rule. And when they tried to change it, it was too late. So I stuck on 59 home runs, unfortunately. Oh my goodness. Career batting average. Two 77. Yep. Career hits. 1100 exactly. Stolen bases. Oh, that's a tough one. One 80 something, one 83, maybe somewhere. One 68. Okay. Little reversal one 68.

"And just like that, Christmas is saved. Oh my goodness. You have watched a lot of hallmark movies, okay? Because you and I both know it was about money and about the biggest stage. Which, by the way, is totally Carlos's prerogative, right? It was about the Christmas spirit buster about love. All right. All right, I'm not gonna like inject any more reality. Let's get the bleacher tweets. Okay, our first one comes from Corey Rucker. Oh boy, buster Taylor and Sarah getting that pod ready after the koen coop, just like that we are. Yes, we are. Next one is Terry Jackson, on dance peace wants and siding with the cubs. I am devastated. Why? How I want to know all the details of the negotiations was there even a negotiation. I'm still grieving Freddie Freeman. Now this, what next? Von Grissom? Yeah, so there was a negotiation. The braves offered dansby a contract, they held the line as they have in some of their other negotiations, including with Freddie, and we don't really know if they would have stretched a little bit above where they were, but the fact is, is that the cubs offer blew the braves offer out of the water. It was like $75 million more. I felt and we talked about on the podcast, by the way, now Dan's be effectively would have a choice. Would he either take the money of the cubs or would he go back to Atlanta, the team that he played with and won a championship with and Sarah? Humble bragged to Taylor that in the week of the winter meetings, when we projected where all these short stops would land, we were a 100%, right? We nailed them all, but now that was blown up because the Correa to the Giants prediction turns out to be completely wrong and he winds up as a third baseman of the mets. I did not predict that. Next up is Andrew Campbell at real camp drew, buster. If you're an MLB GM, would you ever trade a superstar way for a gaggle of prospects? Boston has virtually nobody left from the Mookie trade. No one in Washington is going to live up to Soto or Scherzer. And the rockies return for aeronautic wasn't much either. Yep, that's exactly right. There's a perception I've had people in the Red Sox organization who tell me this that when you look back at how they handled the bet situation, they clearly traded him 6 months too late. They should have traded him before the trade deadline. And what was it 2020? And it's really cost them. And now we've seen the angels with Otani in a likely to be a free agent endeavors unless the Red Sox sign of those guys could be trade candidates sometime this July and along the same lines they're probably not going to get a ton. I would say this. The Juan Soto deal, I think it's too early to say whether or not that was a bus because the perception was the nationals did get a lot in young town. And last up is Debbie gammons Brown. We all know that no one can top Sarah ling's love for baseball, but we definitely have to include Terry Francona at the top of the list along with Tim kirkton and Peter gammons. And Doug glanville is really smart insightful dude. Do you think you'll ever end up in a front office somewhere or as an executive with MLB? I got to ask Doug the question about, you know, why that hasn't happened. I'm sure he's been approached with the opportunities, but I know this Doug absolutely loves his family and he knows that if he works in the front office, it directly impacts the time he spends with his family, the more time he spends in an office, staying on planes means less time with his kids. All right, that's it for bleacher tweets this week. Be sure to submit your question using hashtag bleacher tweets. That's it for today. And by the way, Sarah, we've settled on the next show. We're not going to have a show next week. We are going to tape a show. It looks like on January 6th, Friday, January 6th. So have great holidays. And the other thing I was going to mention this as well, we need to thank Taylor because Taylor put together an almost a completely complete show yesterday before the Quran news broke. So you're going to step up and thank him? Taylor, thank you so much for all of your hard work. It is absolutely devastating that yesterday's episode will not see the light of day, but you are never forgotten.

"Swank is working from the pulpit. How are you guys doing today? Doing very well on a gloomy day in Connecticut, but it's the weekend, holiday times. I'm having a Christmas party tomorrow. Life is good buster. So it's not a gloomy day here in Montana. This guy is beautiful. It feels like every day this guy is amazing. And I did look at the long range forecast. We're not forecast to have a temperature above freezing and we have only had two in the last month here in Boseman. We have not we're not scheduled to have a day above freezing up until Christmas. What do you guys think about that? It's supposed to be minus 9 here on Wednesday. Yeah, listen, just a silence. I love it. I think it's going to be fun, except for when I let the dogs out in the morning and they look at me like, are you serious? Yeah, yeah. Do you bundle up when you take the dogs out buster? Or do you just go for it? I got one of those under like a long sleeve type shirt underneath and then I have a sweatshirt and that's it. Okay, okay, I didn't know if you'd grab the park, throw the hat on. Okay, I like it. Well, I do have a biking cap, which my partner Liz, she can't stand it. She hates the colors of it. You know, the gold and the purple. Like, she doesn't care about the teams at all. But she just, she's been trying clandestinely to replace that hat. I think that hat will be lost at some point. Oh, how does quinny like the cold? That's my main question. She loves it. In fact, her favorite game now. She loves to, you guys have seen those nature videos where she's 11 months old. And you guys have seen the nature videos were like the coyote or the fox pops along the snow, trying to catch a mouse and sort of pogo sticks. Yes. That's what she does with the ball. She absolutely loves it and when she goes for the ball, she goes shoulders deep in terms of where he put and she comes up and her whole face is covered in snow. She loves it. What an adorable image for our listeners here. She's great. And Sarah, you've seen quinnie, many times on this podcast when we tape it on Zoom. She is the star of the show. For sure. All right, so we now have only one big time free agent left on the board. It's pretty incredible. We've had off seasons in which some of these big name signings have dragged on until February and March. Not this year. Like, we're down to dansby Swanson. That's just about it. After colors were done yesterday agreed to a 6 year $162 million deal to go in New York. We're going to be talking about the signing coming up. We'll also be talking about the giant signing of shortstop Carlos Correa, 13 years, $350 million in interesting structure on this deal. We'll be talking about with Doug glanville coming up. Noah syndergaard reached a one year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Atlanta Braves acquired catcher Sean Murphy from the athletics and the three way deal. Catcher Christian Vasquez agreed to a three year $30 million deal with the Minnesota Twins in a winner in which the twins don't seem to be doing much at all. The Blue Jays trying to compete with the Yankees trying to compete with the Tampa Bay Rays, the Baltimore Orioles. They signed Chris basset to a three year $63 million deal, he'll of course be in the Blue Jays rotation behind Alec mino behind Kevin gausman and behind him in center field would be Kevin kier Meyer. Who agreed to a one year deal with Toronto. The Red Sox introduced a bunch of side players, including Kenley Janssen and heim bloom. They had a baseball operations at Boston, talked about the signing a mod asaka, yoshida. We've watched masa taka for a while. And the thing that really stood out from all angles was just the quality of the at bat. There's a very unique combination of contact and skills and strike zone discipline and an ability to impact the baseball that we feel has a chance to really impact the game at the major league level. So I've talked to a lot of folks with other teams who also, of course, looked at coming into this off season and I got to say, either those folks are going to be very, very wrong or the Red Sox are going to be very, very wrong for this investment of a $106 million. Folks with other teams basically are saying, they can't see it. They don't understand what the Red Sox are thinking. If he turns out to be a terrific player, the Red Sox are going to look really smart. The mets signed kodai sanga, this deal was finalized this week, 5 years, $75 million. Brandon nimmo, who agreed to that massive deal last year, a hundred, about $22 million a year, talked about returning to the mets on that 8 year contract. Just so thankful to be able to be coming back. I'm very, very thankful to the Cohen's to Alex and Steve. The front office, Billy, sandy. Obviously, most people know here that I was drafted by sandy. Which is crazy to think about 2011. First one and book help and bring me back and I think last season we had a great season and then came up a little bit short of the ultimate goal. And I'm here to try and see that through. The Detroit tigers signed a couple pictures, Matt Boyd, returning to Detroit, Michael lorenzen, both those players on one year deals. And Taylor, your Orioles, participating in this off season. They signed second baseman Adam Frazier to a one year contract. What did you think about that signing? It's fine. That's okay. You know, they did something. They brought a bat in whatever. I had a friend text me yesterday after Carlos rudan was signed to the Yankees lift off my, you know what? Buster. It's family program. I won't say it on here, but some frustration in birdland. Yeah. And we're going to talk about how we're seeing this great polarity in baseball, the disparity between the big market teams or big spending teams I should say. And the teams that have basically decided not to spend that much to this point, the Orioles are in that category. Taylor, what else you got? Buster, we did a pair of college game day podcasts this week that I thought both of them were particularly good. The passing of Mike leach this week very sad in the college football community and Pete theme and David Pollack and Greg mcelroy came together and did a great job of remembering and reflecting on his legacy. I thought it was great. And of course there's all sorts of news going on. We're gonna have bowl games this weekend, so Pete demo and Bill Connolly back in the pod yesterday looking at those bowl games and cutting up the latest news. So check all that out. The ESPN college game day podcast. You can listen to that podcast wherever you are listening to this podcast right now. Doug land Billy is a baseball analyst

"And on Saturday, Ravi, gonna be doing some play by play on radio, Dodgers, giants, in San Francisco. Get to work with my buddy Doug glanville, get a little radio feel as we get ready for the postseason. I think my buddy Tim Kirk and I are going to be calling a division series so it's a little warm up and it's a whole different ball game when you're doing radio versus television as you well know and sitting next to somebody like Doug, you know, it gives you a whole other look at the game, not a lazy done the radio all year, but he just looks at things in a different way and it's a game that doesn't really mean a lot as far as the standings go, the Dodgers are already the west winters, the Giants aren't going anywhere. But it will allow us to talk about all the things that we're going to talk about on the podcast. And I like his perspective as kind of that role player guy. Big city and his thoughts on where the Dodgers stand is arguably one of the great teams of all time or certainly one of the great teams that we've ever seen planned. Maybe I should coach it that way. Yeah, and I'm curious about sort of where he puts the Dodgers in that regard, given the concerns they have at the back end of their bullpen. It does seem like there's a good chance this weekend that you're going to be able to call the final out of the Dodgers 100th to win on the season, which would be remarkable. Thursday, of course, Roberto Clemente day. You know, we saw so many great scenes around baseball. I love the whole Tampa Bay lineup. Latin American players comprised 9 players in that lineup. You saw the scenes at Citi Field last night, all the Roberta clementi award winners joined together, Francisco Lindor hitting a home run. What jumped out to you? Well, I mean, what jumps out every year and I'm talking to the players that have won it and been involved with the sort of voting on it. I don't know buster that there is, at least in the players eyes, a more significant award that you can be recognized for. And I think they hesitate to even call it an award. You know, players tend to we always in our line of work, especially in television, want to learn more about the player. It's amazing and I guess I do understand it because I certainly am involved with a variety of causes. They don't seek the attention for the things that they do. Off the field, away from the branding, if you will. And I know that when you sit next to former winners, you know, that is the recognition they speak of way more than it literally than anything else. I'm not sure how they would compare it to a most valuable player. But whether it's going through your country, whether it is doing something within your community, whether it's taking care of kids, that resonates with them, and Lindor and the mets needed a win, they won 7 one and the focus was on Clemente and Puerto Rico and the bond and brotherhood and the significance of the man. So it really is, and I know we talk about it, but it really is something that the players take to heart. It's a significant significant recognition. And the other part of it is when you look at those that are nominated, they run the gamut of the 30 player team. It's not just the stars. You know, there's guys that are the 24th player that are getting recognized. So that part of it is really, really wonderful. And I know it means so much to those guys, but watching Lindor and the team and the celebration of Puerto Rico yesterday was really cool. I love the conversation every year about clementi. You know, I was just becoming a baseball fan just to be in his last year in 1972. I told the story in radio yesterday about remembering we didn't have a television on our farm, but we would get the New York Daily News and I can remember the picture of Roberto Clemente standing at second base with John matlak in the foreground. The mets pitcher who gave up that hit, you know, hit number 3000. I remember hearing on the radio months later about clementi passing away. I love looking at the highlights. I love, you know, you talk to players who competed against him to hear their stories. I mentioned, you know, one of the most famous highlights for Clemente is this incredible throw that he made in the 1971 series. Was going from second to third base, and I asked Murph, it was Eddie coach later in life with the San Diego Padres. Hey, what was that like? And he, at that time, he was very fast, but he said he was looking at third base as he's running in. He was like, oh my God, I can't believe that I might get thrown out. And it was your panic setting in and just him being amazed by clementi in that and the throw in his physical ability. And I agree with you to see the meaning of this award to the, you know, those who've won it in the past, you know and I know because we hear the stories behind the scenes when sometimes a major league teams put on these events, they put out the invite to the player and the players. I don't know if I want to go. And you saw all those guys yesterday. You saw Derek Jeter, you know, on Major League Baseball network doing interviews because of the meaning of the award. Yeah. And I'll say this. I mean, I guess this is the way I can relate what Roberto Clemente is meant. And I think I may have told you this story last year around this time. But I was like most a baseball card collector, a baseball card flipper. I would put them in the bike spokes. But baseball or tops always produced those extra large, almost cardboard baseball cards. They were probably.

"Think it would be bad. I'm just trying to imagine, oh my God. Oh, I'm like sweating. Tried to play themselves into better playoff position in an ultimately played themselves out of playoff position. I just think that you never, you never want to employ a strategy where someone can look back in hindsight and be like they were too cute. You don't try to be cute. 'cause you might be too cute. And then right. Yeah. Yeah. Having a fit. Yeah. I think that also like baseball is less susceptible to tanking, at least the type that should be a is susceptible to for a few reasons like when it's just not as advantageous to get a high draft pick and MLB as it is in other leagues. But also, I think it's like harder to lose. It's purpose. Yeah. Once you've assembled your team, you can assemble a non competitive team, but it's harder to say, okay, given the players we have on hand, we're going to reduce our odds of winning today because you have a bigger team in their more players and what are you going to do like your entire lineup? NBA, you can sit like one star and significantly impair your odds, but in baseball, as we know, like having one or two superstars doesn't make you a great team and being down to start two doesn't make you a terrible team, so there's only so much you can do realistically without making it incredibly glaring that you're doing this. So between that and the fact that there's probably not going to be so huge a difference in the standings between the teams that are in the wild card position and the teams that are just out of it, maybe there's not that huge, maybe it's like more of a, this doesn't look good because it's not great to have a team that is not as good, be rewarded for not being as good, so that's not good. Just from a optics perspective. But maybe it's not as dangerous from a competitive integrity standpoint. No, you still shouldn't do it. It's just bad. It's just so bad thing to mess with it and just do your job. Work your head down. Go in some baseball games, play in October, and let me have a happy family text threat. That's all. I want. Yeah. And also, just wanted to briefly salute what Zach gallen is doing for the Diamondbacks. I almost caught myself when we were talking about Keiko and saying that he had played for a couple of bad teams well, arguably he's only played for one. Diamondbacks, not so bad. Now, in fact, they're half a game behind the Giants in the west. How about that? How about that? I guess says as much about the Giants as it does about the Diamondbacks. But they're only three games under 500 or four games at this point and a lot of that is because Zach Allen has a 41 and a third inning scoreless streak going. Spectacular. Yeah, so he's close to entering the top ten score of a streetwise and he has already tied the record for most scoreless starts in a row, so he has tied Don Drysdale in 68 oral hershiser 88 Zac cranky 2015 with 6 scoreless starts. Of course, he has pitched fewer innings than all of those guys over those starts and significantly fewer than Hershey's or drysdale, her shows are streak of course is the record of 59, and this will be fun to watch gallon chase this dense and borsky gives him about a 2% chance, according to his new fan grafts post on the subject, but everyone's talking about gallon, there's a fan grass post about gallon in a baseball perspective post about gallon and people have been expecting big things out of gown for a while, like he was good and then he got hurt. He had a stress fracture in his arm, right? And so he was not so effective last year, but now he's healthy. He is making some changes. He's maybe throwing some higher fastballs and working more secondary stuff in basically like every other picture, I guess, but he's been better and he's been just really great lately and has propelled the Diamondbacks to respectability, so Craig Calcutta raised a question in his newsletter. He said, if gallon does keep going and challenges her scoreless innings record, there's an argument to be made that it's more impressive for it being over more starts. I mean, the more starts you make, the greater the odds you show up one day and simply don't have it or that you'll face a team with their hitting shoes on, right? I guess I understand that perspective. I still think that probably going deeper into games is harder just because it requires greater durability. It requires you to face the same hitters, multiple times in the same game. So yeah, like you're rolling the dice, I guess a little bit that you won't have it one day, maybe, but also you're having an easier assignment in each given outing. So I think if anything I would go with gallons being a tad easier, but it's an impressive accomplishment, nonetheless. And yeah, it's happening when offense is down a little bit, but so did it when drysdale did this or when her scissor did this, like, as we talked about recently, often record or near record setting performances require the conditions to be right for that, which is what makes judge and what he's doing so impressive because the conditions aren't really ripe for it. But good job Zack gallon in the Diamondbacks have been a lot more watchable lately in part because of him. Yeah, I mean, I have been to, so I was present for his start against nola when the Phillies came through, and then I was just at the ballpark to watch burns versus Bumgarner, which went the brewer's way, does not involve Zach Allen, importantly, but not because bunga earner was particularly bad, which is its own interesting, but a business. But there's just like, there are a lot of people at D back games, and they are excited about the D backs. And it's pretty cool. You know? Like, there have been stretches where that is not true. I remember, I remember in early 2021, I went to a Diamondbacks game and I think I had had, I think I had had one of my vaccine shots, but not both. And so I won, and I was like, oh, is this a bad idea? And then I was like, oh no, I'm very socially distanced. This is in fact fine, 'cause you know, it was a warm enough day that they had the roof closed because they wanted the air on. And I was like, it's still a big space, but I don't know. Is this the right thing? And then as I know it's, it's fine. And that hasn't been the experience lately. People are there and they're excited and, you know, you got gallon doing what he's doing and you have some of the young guys coming up and it's cool. It's nice to be there and see the corner start to see them starting to turn the corner, you know? It's the difference between groaning and respectable baseball. That's pretty fun. Yeah. The Diamondbacks headlines are looking up lately and last thing is that Joe Maddon former angels manager was on Jason stark's podcast starkville with Doug glanville and he had some things to say about analytics and managers, perhaps not surprising things he is maybe said some somewhat similar things since his dismissal from the angels, but he is really harping on this. He basically thinks that analytics have been taken too far and teams implementation of them have gone too far. And it's somewhat notable, I think, when he says it just because he was such a standard bearer for more progressive managers who were incorporating front office input when he was with the rays or even earlier in his time with the cubs and things have changed and he has not changed along with them and he thinks that they've changed for the worst and maybe he makes some valid points here.

"This is all things considered from NPR news I'm David folk and flick Earlier this week the collective bargaining agreement between Major League Baseball and its players union expired That resulted in pro baseball's first work stoppage in a generation Not to put too fine a point on it The owners of all 30 teams locked out their own players Now this is the off season So there's a couple of months before baseball is to be played Yet the two sides are clashing especially over whether to give players some more money early in their careers If no agreement is reached by the start of training camp next February part or all of the 2022 season could be in jeopardy To learn more we called in Doug glanville to pinch hit He played 9 seasons in the MLB for the cubs the Phillies and the rangers and he was a player union representative during his big league days Doug glanville is now a baseball analyst for marquee Sports Network and ESPN We started our conversation talking about one of the main conflicts right now which focuses on something called service time That refers to the time a player has spent on a major league team's roster From the time you get to the major leagues the clock starts ticking And the big milestone is viewer three You want to play through that three year period You've got arbitration and what happens is then you could submit a number say I'm worth X compared to my peers compared to people with equal service time And then the team will submit another number saying no you're worth this other number And then arbitrator will decide Sometimes you settle before that So that moment is when you go from this minimum salary which is still significant and larger societies 575,000 to this big bump up in arbitration So service time is significant because you can see how artificially you can keep that three year mark down And there's a discomfort between how much control they have and being able to manipulate it to make sure you're under that arbitration number that three year Mark How does it feel like as a player if you think a team is manipulating the rules to try to keep down how much you have to be paid Frustrating frustrating And the big story that was the circle about manipulation was Chris Bryant He formally played for the Chicago Cubs And he had a phenomenal spring training It was a top prospect a third baseman and there was a clear evidence that this guy was a major league player he was ready But they sent them down the cubs kept them in triple-A in the minor leagues for about whatever days they needed 30 days That one month that he was down in the minor leagues and not clocked counting the clock at the major league level kept them from being able to get to arbitration And so the argument was from the team as saying well hey you know this is a great player Of course you want another year of control for you fans You get to keep Chris Bryan another year But the player feels like you're pushing your payday back an entire year just because you were a day or two short of this threshold And so that's a lot of power And that creates a lot of concern for the players I think a lot of fans might look at circumstances and see stratospheric paydays for big ticket free agents higher minimums for rookie ball players new ball players than ever before even accounting for inflation What's the problem with the overall big picture of economics and baseball If everybody is getting a decent payday The challenge is wealth distribution If you look at it and compare to say larger society what is wealth inequality do What happens to a society and an eroding middle class Well you have this concentration of wealth at the top and that at the bottom ownership would say okay these players are cheap And we can just have a bunch of them And what you can do is use that lower class so to speak and upper class to pressure the middle And then they have to compromise And so that's where the Major League Baseball Players Association is concerned because there's a middle class that's disappearing The last collective bargaining year 5 years ago plus that middle class pool in terms of the aggregate of their salaries has gone down significantly Who gets hurt most if negotiations bleed into spring training if we get to February and the next season gets delayed shortened or even canceled Well probably the game overall because the fans the fans I don't know what the appetite is for attracted labor dispute and the history has shown that the owners have not done well when it becomes a strike and we start missing games You can't sell season tickets all these things start to happen Now the trick this time is that in this 25 plus years of labor peace I wouldn't say piece of the right word but labor lack of dispute it's probably worked against the players quite frankly I don't think they've had the gains the distribution of the revenue pool is actually shifted pretty significantly to the owners So peace is actually worked fairly well for the ownership not saying you should encourage going on strike but they should look through what they've gained over the last 25 years and see if it's matched up to saying peace should be rewarded as opposed to pushing you backwards We've been listening to baseball analysts former MLB player Doug glanville Douglas thanks so much Thank you And finally today you might not recall where you heard him last maybe on your streaming service maybe.

"Tonight. And paulin makita researcher. Espn he's a honcho on the show. Get up he says he's on show and mike greenberg has advise this otherwise you doing today. I am doing extremely well this morning. Working from home and really taking things to a really to a new low today. I wanted to be starting very shortly. When i pop up the podcast here. A couple racks of ribs in the smoker very early in the morning. I'm just thinking all these liberties at this point he from home has become so normal. Now that i'm essentially just jeopardizing my career. But you know what i think. Ribs are the best food in the world and had imagine growing up in a farm. You a great. I'm not gonna go there. I'm not going to give my opinion on ribs. Not my favorite things. I would i feel like is going on. You're trying to distract from what's going on with your phillies really wiscon- bed this is this is comfort food for you because we all thought the village who take advantage of that soft schedule and know they're drifting what happened last night crushed me. I think zack wheelers. Siam chances just absolutely vanquished that ridiculous oh to pitch to cisco mahia. He is bill for some reason to muto. Felt like it was a wise idea to throw belt high fastball. Out over the plate otsu so you get what you pay for. That was a devastating loss for this team. I think when this when we sorta right the postscript here for this for the police season that should be one of those games that really stands out in on the other side it demonstrates how incredibly good the raise our when it matters the only plus fifty run differential butter in the ninth inning alone. It is completely absurd with those guys do late in games than as a phillies fan. I really takes it at last night. Yeah i love the raise tweet that they send out last night that they're on pace which is not something here from teams very often but the run win a hundred games Which just tell you again. You know just how good that team is I wanted to get your thoughts on the melena first off. You believed that next year will actually b.'s. Last year because when i heard that yeah right he'll he'll catch another year after that miami is to say yes at least it will be his last year for the cardinals the way that the cardinals sort of announced it made. It seem like we love yati and next years His last year with us. I suppose if he played really well next season. There's no obvious reason why as it's help is there. He wouldn't wanna play elsewhere. I think there's something magical sort of About baseball's mystique when you play two decades for the same team and no one else has definitely been a thing over the years but it would spun me if he played in twenty twenty. Three for the cardinals. But it wasn't stunned me. If you've played in twenty twenty three for someone else all right what what else do you have on yati. Well boston think it just provides us an opportunity to sort of put his career in perspective and the reason for it is because his sort of hall of fame. Candidacy has been a topic of much debate on the internet. And that's because he's produced about forty wins above replacement forty war for his career. But i've yet to talk to each single person whose opinion i value around the game. That thinks that's a good approximation for the value that he provides bumps her. They'll give you two reasons. Why think that number comes up short. The first of which is since molina became the cardinals everyday catcher in two thousand five. You had me track this note for years now. St louis has allowed eight hundred and thirty stolen bases which is three hundred seventy nine fewer than any other team in dust. It should come as no surprise that during that time. The cardinals lead all baseball in double plays turned a bunch of those are courtesy of yati and secondly his career. Era has a catcher mystery. Point six nine to look at all. Other cardinals catchers since two thousand five four point one eight that is a massive gap the gap equivalent to the difference between rank second and sixteenth team during that time or better yet difference between the careers of mike and freddy garcia. Half a run per game buster. So if i told you that yod defense was worth happy. Run per game. Would you laugh me out of the room. Absolutely not look. Here's the thing. And i just talked to doug glanville about this. I really feel like it's we get closer to the voting on molina. The most important voices are going to be those of ex players. Earn players like a lot of times. You know when we talk about a player like miguel cabrera nerd like me can go on the internet and find numbers and say miguel. Cabrera is amazing. But i think that we're going to need players former players in a guys like chris carpenter to talk about a hear their voices in an and have them explain. Exactly what it means to have your team allow a by a you. Almost half the number stolen base attempts to As compared audrey during the career and what that means for pitcher the peace of mind for fisher standing out on the mound where he didn't even have to worry about the guy at first base. You know what they're not gonna run on him. I think our catcher evaluation is decades away from being a science and yati or molina's cases a perfect example of that. The only thing i'll add is only two catchers have ever been inducted on the first ballot. Johnny bench in padre rigas so there are all sorts of people that seem to think is going to add his name to that list but history says he's got enough dope fine all right. Tell me about an elite hitter. We don't recognize the way that we should. His name. is your alvarez for the astros and i for the life of me. Can't figure out why we don't consider this a frequent superstar buster. He's one of three players in the history of baseball hoo through two hundred career game which is exactly where he's at right now. Has fifty home runs and fifty doubles. The other. two are chuck klein and joe dimaggio. Both did so before world war two. He is the best hitter on the best lineup in baseball by a long shot. He's angry at the age of twenty four. I don't have much else to add. Except for the fact that if you're putting together a list the best players in baseball and he's not on it it's just not a credible list what he got in the san francisco giants and just keep on rolling Or a weekly basis complaining. That i'm not talking about them on the podcast enough and you know what the right because they just keep winning. And i've not been able to figure out how they really dug into it this week number one. Do they hit when they have to buy. Oh ps giants on the fourteenth. Best batting line in baseball with the game tied the seventh best batting line baseball with a lead but the own the best batting line in baseball and ps of seven eighty four when trailing within a game number two. they're pitching defense are just in sync. The giants pitching staff owned the highest round ball rate in baseball forty seven percent and despite that volume their defense ranks four in baseball in converting ground. Balls into out at about seventy six percent and three that pitching staff is the most efficient in all of baseball. Giants pitchers average about sixteen pitches per inning. Nephew was in the majors and that is in large part. Because they're the most aggressive pitching staff in baseball. They only first pitch strike rate of sixty four percent. You guess that's highest in baseball so on september fifth. We've got the dodgers and we got the giants on sunday night baseball. So i'm gonna steal all of that from you before a baby san francisco next week on last one. Tell me what you got on the orioles We were celebrating today for taylor. Guys like dramatic any for brandon. Hide this awful. Losing streak is over.

Ryan well they are hot then. They're getting done so let's name some phillies you got. We mentioned the ones earlier. Mike schmidt was philly. Steve carlton was a philly. Yup was it. Pete rose affiliate for awhile. Yeah yeah who. Else glenville duve. Doug guy infielders a good call. Good if i bring up doug glanville awesome. I know what. I talk while i'm talking.

Carter carter that's right with somebody was really a big deal. And then he gave up in pretty much ended his career didn't it. Yeah he got to wild and then they had to let them go. Who else ryan's give me some more phillies. I think tug mcgraw was philly goldman. You're going to give you tug mcgraw. Yeah yeah that's tim mcgraw's dad right correct. Yeah well i before we get to the phones ryan. They did the Open practice. i didn't get to go. So i'm going on secondhand information but ryan. I seem to hear a lot of people. say look. if you watch that open practice. It's going to be we'll lettuce joey. Gatewood actually play pretty. Well maybe as a head now but it's clear where this is going. It's going to be will lettuce. Did you hear similar. Yeah what i heard was. If joey gatewood we can win with him but we'll lettuce us is better than joey gatewood. So we're we're both the guy i talked to. You said they both look good to be honest because we went with. Joey will eleven. The guy they i think the big takeaway for people who went was they threw the ball downfield for the first time. You look like you had a downfield passing game. Josh ali got a couple of big catches. One del not downfield but short passes and then the kind of story because we didn't know who he was really was rashawn. Lewis whose ray lewis's son and is a walk on two bombs from we'll let us over forty yards each. And i gotta be honest when i read that. I didn't even know he was released and it was on his team to be is with. Yeah i didn't either. But yeah he obviously open is big enough where they wrote a story on him on ks or this weekend. So we'll think about you. Get this kid. You don't know who twice. They go deep with him. He beats the db catches bombs. You're gonna get it. They're gonna talk about him right. Yeah something. We haven't had if they think they can be that guy. Now you've got rashawn lewis media guy. Epat could be that. They're thinking he might be that guy.

Anthony joins us now for his weekly hit. All right. Where is I'm not going to labor over last night. How did we get here? Like How did this happen? Yeah. Uh, just Just baseball. It sucks. It's uh You know, we It was like a month ago or last win, but it was no hitter there in L A and First game going out West. Get that win and just It is scared, and it seems like our offense is we're just not scoring more than 23 runs. Four runs, Um And then obviously game in and Milwaukee crushed us, But, um I mean, bitch. Just one of those neighbors just gotta desperately going to win somehow, some way going to be a weird win. But we just got to get one. Okay, so You were a little kid. In 1997. The Cubs started all in six. That's how they started the season and they lost the two really amazing teams. The Marlins who would win the World Series and the Braves, who had Maddux, Glavine, Smaltz and Avery, they come home. I take the keys to the then that the radio station had. I drive it up to Wrigley and I said, I'm going to do the radio show from here and I am going to sleep in the van till the Cubs win a game. They started on 14. I didn't know that. Yes, I I knew I was in trouble. First, I had Mark Grace dropping chicken off to eat. I had Doug Glanville knock on the van door and then the team got back really late at night. And I opened the van door and it's the manager. It's Jim Riggleman. And I'm like, Hey, Riggs. What are you doing it like whatever time it was in the middle of the night. He's like Dude, you're going to be here a while we suck, and it went to 14. And I finally got out of there Now, Glanville, text me I got these people are reaching out. They want me to live in a Tent. In the Wrigleyville area to you win again. Any thoughts on that. I can't believe we're here. I I Obviously, I I can't believe it either of Player. We expect to win every day when every day and every game, but If you if you do do the tangible hot so you're gonna have to bring make sure you just pack appropriately. Um, she stay hydrated, but I mean, it's just Losing is not fun and in this part of the season before the All Star break. Um It's just It's not fun, and we have to find a way to win a game and Obviously easier said than done, but Um I mean, we just have to win. That's it. So do you think I should do this? Because I said to Danny at the break, Okay. If I do something, whatever it is tent or some kind of Goofy thing to help. You know, the cause I want to. I raised a lot of money last time. I'd like to raise even more this time and have it go to your foundation. So do you think I should do this? You have any suggestions? Doesn't have to be in a tent. It could be something else. I mean, honestly, I just I think that It will be a waste of time because we're going to go out tonight and get a W So It's my optimism, but if you were to do something Then I mean Sure. I don't know. There's some nice Wrigleyville bars. I'm sure would host you there for a few days. Yeah, Leader Murphy's and Bernie support he reached out you can live in our place. Um But it's just I mean, and the called the House on the inside. We've been rallying and doing Things needed. Obviously, nothing is working to this point. But, um I mean, W is definitely on the horizon. Okay, so I had people texting or demon or tweet in questions. They got a lot of them. So what is it like in that room Because I likened it to. There's this guillotine hanging over the door where you walk into that beautiful clubhouse and You don't know who it's going to chop first because of being 8.5 back, and we're in the month of July. Is there this feeling in the room of impending doom? Like Anthony. They want to see you upstairs or Anthony Jed's on the phone or Javi or Chris or Craig or whoever it is or it's not even thought about. I mean, it's definitely were We're all humans. And if this is a business and You know, it's definitely There definitely is some sort of elephant in the room on that aspect, but The same time. Being professional. You've come in and you have a job to do, And it's you know, starts come in and out. But This is when you have to stay committed to the process is for the forest and do all the cliches and answered of philosophy to is do all the cliches and keep your head down and just continue to keep working. Um But when you go to a school like this, it doesn't matter. What's going on the outside. It's just it's just about winning as competitors. Uh, You know you. You tell everyone, I'll lose anything.

I really want to know that and Danny, guess who just texted me. Feel I've seen no Uh, Ryan Sandberg? Nope. Doug Glanville. Was going to guess him next. Doug Glanville just texted me and said, might be time for me to move back into a McDonald's parking lot for people that don't know what that means. So in 1997 Waddell and I are hosting together down the dial at W. G. M. The Cubs started 16. And they play. They played the Marlins. I think who were really good without lighter and all those guys. Kevin Brown, I think was on that team. Wasn't that his name? Kevin Brown. That really sure? Yeah. And then they had to play the Braves with Maddox and Glavine and Smaltz and Avery so they come home their own six They're going to play. The Rockies were just all right. And I said Got a great idea, Tommy. Great idea. We're going to take the keys to the W. G. M Phan van. We're going to drive it up to Wrigley. We're going to park at the McDonald's parking lot across the street. We're going to live in there. Until they win a game. Fully believing. They'll win a game over the Rockies. The Rockies aren't that good and we're at home. All of that. Well, to make a very long story short. Tommy said To me, you're going to do what I'm like. No, we're gonna know I'm not doing that. So I did it with my great intern at the time, Steve Buckman and we went up there. Pull the fan van into the McDonald's parking lot. And fat cap. Had a really good time because they gave me carte blanche. I can just walk behind that. The counter at McDonald's and eat Whatever I wanted. I was cooking people breakfast back there. Will await you. Never. I've heard this story before. But I never heard carte blanche in McDonald's. Yes. So you would just walk back and take big Macs and fries and whatever I want to just help myself like what was the average daily? It wasn't Joey Chestnut like, but it was a lot of your regular competitive food. Either. There would you eat it three times a day. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, no question. I went back there and made pancakes. Eggs. Lunch on me. Let me try a triple cheeseburger. I know you don't have it on the menu, but I'm going to try one. Yeah. Ernie was the owner. Ernie was a great dude, he said. You can park that thing in my parking lot as long as you want. And then I made friends with some comment, Guys. They came by people were coming by. They had to get security because the drunks and the bars would rock the van at night. Yeah. And the vans are rocking. Don't come in. Not exactly. It's their own six. And so the people that apt electronics and blend you Ricky Apted company they sent a T V. How are you going to plug a TV into a van? The guys from comments and we got you. They wired the TV power source into one of the street lights. Yes. So now I got TV. Then. Walter E. Smithe furniture. They brought a Oriental rug. One of those massive rugs. And a recliner. At a table for the T V. So I got the whole setup going out there. So you were living a life of luxury, actually. Was it luxurious, but Well, they went Oh, and 14. Was there for eight. Freaking games. Yes. You go back and look at some of the gut wrenching losses. And then a rain out in New York. I think it was So Doug Glanville just texted me said Dude might be time for you to move back into the McDonald's parking lot. Now The McDonald's isn't there anymore because they built the hotel, but we could figure something out. So what do you want to do? Let's do something. Why don't you pitch a tent in like one of the beer gardens at Bernie's? Bernie's is right across the street. Of course, you mean literally or both. Why don't you pitch a tent in the beer garden at Bernie's and live there, do the show from there until they went again. They're going to win in the next week. I mean, like, how long do you think you'll really be out there? Or you could grow your hair back until they went again. Don't change your clothes until they went again. Which is hard for you because it's like three or four wardrobe changes a day. Okay, Mandy, um I don't know. There's got to be something I can do. I mean, I was there for the 14 start that Just torpedo the 97 season. I mean, it was literally Oh, and 14. So do I recreate this What do you think? Get Mike Thomas on the phone and find out Can I broadcast from somewhere in Wrigleyville with today's technology? And live up at the ballpark. I think you just give up Twitter until the coast win again. Bingo. That's it. What do you know? Chance you lived in a van for eight days. Now you won't give up Twitter until the Cubs win again. No. No, no. Why not cash cause I got to do my recaps, No. Sources close to me say when you were living in the van, you went up to a rooftop to take showers. That's correct. So you were basically just like living the life. Well, let's not act like that was tough for you. And I'm sleeping on the killer of avail. All fat cap. So you admitted back then you didn't care what you ate fat cap Had you were in have access to any McDonald's. You want every day where you want it right? Three meals a day in a van. No doubt you snuck a Sunday every once in a while TV dessert. Shower Mcflurry. People are stopping by to see you like we all know you, cap you like the attention like people thinking that this is a cool thing. I raised $25,000 for needy kids. Fun. Yeah, like list. Let's not act like it was tough. It wasn't easy, Danny. Okay? It was not easy. And then I knew I wasn't you at any point did at any point Did you contemplate calling it quits? No. So it wasn't that hard. It's true story. It's like the team got back in town. I think it was that they were leaving town who is the middle of the freaking night? Open up the door. That's Jim Riggleman. Jim Riggleman, the manager. And I'm like, Hey, Riggs. What's up? I don't know how long you're going to be out here because we suck. I'm like. Oh, God. Help the vote of confidence, boys. Yep. Doug Glanville came by. He's playing on the team. Yeah, it was bad man. Regulars bad. It's like I brought you a pillow and blanket because you may be here a while. That might be what I asked Rizzo give up Twitter until the Cubs win again. Know? What do you mean? No, Come on. It's not. You have no faith that the Cubs can win a game. It's not that I enjoy being on Twitter. Bernie's just reached out to me. The beer gardens. All yours say the word. No, they didn't. Yeah, they did. I got a guy. Johnny Paddock. He's there. He's ready. The beer gardens yours. Okay. Where am I sleeping in the beer in the tent.

"Have you already had the zoom interactions with Gabe Kapler and the giant staff? Well, I'll haven't done a Giants game this year, so I haven't done a zoom with Gabe. But a couple years ago, I probably did 10 10 meetings with gay because we did 10 games with Phillies right up close, So I really enjoy talking to him because he's a really smart guy. As for the first question of doing a game from Bristol, Connecticut tonight Thank you your in store. Glanville is doing the game with me. He's the other analysts, but he'll be doing it from his home in Bristol, Connecticut, and our play by play Guy Mike Monaco, who's 28 years old. But he's really, really good. I've never done a game with him. So I'll be doing a game with a 28 year old and Doug Glanville, who's going to be about 10 miles away, but not the same studio and obvious sitting all by myself in a room that I've never worked out of. So if the show stinks, it's not myself. Come on. You've never done a batch. Yo, I'm just kidding. It's just reminded just how tricky things could be. I work with different people.

When are you going to be allowed to go to a baseball stadium? Well, that's a good question. I'm not on the Sunday night team, so I'm not going to games until they tell me we're hoping at some point sooner rather than later here in the second half, one second half arrives, but No guarantees on that, Um, I'm more than happy to do a game from the studio because at least I get to do the game. But there is no substitute whatsoever for being at the ball park and I miss it. Tremendously trying to call a game off of the television screen rather than being at the ballpark. Tim, you are the best is always our pleasure to have you and have a great call. Regardless of where and who and we'll talk again soon. Okay, guys. Thank you, sir. Come and he has the best sign off.

Somebody's in a Bristol studio. Somebody's in a home studio. Somebody's They had a game A couple of weeks ago, just like you said. I think they're on the phone as well. And I couldn't. I could not understand the third person in the booth and it's frustrating because we know this in radio. What happens people leave like if if the audio is bad, or whatever the case. If you give us a reason to leave, we'll leave or at least will turn it down because I had to turn it down. I just couldn't. I couldn't understand what he was saying. It's been hard. Though. I mean Flynn was in his home office. That was That was not the game that they had to rush on for. No, No, no, that was the Padres Dodgers. Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, And they actually got to that broadcast late. It was on ESPN two to start anyway. I'm listening to it. I'm like Jessica Mendoza is on a telephone. So I I know she was talking about. She lives up in the Pacific Northwest at extreme heat up there. Probably is that the reason why, But that was strange because Dave sounded nice and clear, and she sounded like she was underwater. Remember. When do we get hot in the East Bay? At least in the old days before we upgraded you? We'd have problems with years if it got too hot, So yeah, I'm sure affects things. Yeah. One time. It was like, probably driving what.

"I think This is what they were playing at Wrigley Field in the nineties. I was watching the Marquis Channel last night. Figured I'd put a bet early because of the Snow and falling asleep to a game. I think it was 1997. I want to, say Cubs and Padres they were winning in the third inning. 13 to 3. I hope they won that game. Doug Glanville flied out deep to left before I fell asleep. And Doug's with us this morning. How you doing, Doug? Alright, teleported in your mind you you batted. Let's see. Was it Glanville, Then Sosa, then grace in those days in the batting order. Well, yeah, I mean, it was crazy that I hit. I mean, there was a came up and there were Sandberg around. So kind of surreal for me. Looking back as I had modern, mired those players growing up and I got a chance to come to spring training three years before that, when I was trying to make my way up so good memories. Good memories on before we talk about what you're doing now on Marquis. Uh, what kind of teammates were those guys? Ah, lot of people especially curious about Sosa and what went on in the clubhouse and my experience with him. We go out and do an interview and we want to do something off beat and he he was. He was great. He loved playing along. But how different was he in the clubhouse with his teammates? I got along well with Sami. He was fun. I thank you, and you watched him. Play and work out and train. He always enjoyed the game. He just showed it. So when you think of them running along the fence and the warning track to pump people of that was kind of how he was over time. I mean, he got more settled, he had more kind of handlers, people. Around to take care of stuff. Sometimes, you know, whatever flying on his own jet or whatever he was, you know, definitely became more independent in that way, but I always found him to be A lot of fun. He was very particular. You know, we had to hit at 9 30 with this particular hitting coach right At this time. We had a lot of rituals kind of in the O. C D kind of flavor. He he was very detailed, and I thought he put in a lot of work, but I know it ended ended badly and it's still a source of contention. I always hoped that People can figure it out and Find a way to move forward together. You know he was an important part of the Cubs history, but I definitely understand a lot of the frustration with how things ended. I think, David and has a question for you, Doug. Go ahead, Dave. Hey, dog. Good morning. Nice talk to you. A zoo. You look at this team on the eve of spring training here, is there Maybe a player on individual or or even a group that you would look at and say, Okay, these these guys are going to be the key to whether this team could be successful. In the 2021 season. Cubs still have the same core players that they're looking to. You still wonder about how Kris Bryant can bounce back. You still look at Wilson Contreras. He's still looking happy buyers. I mean, there's air guys that are, you know, storing the drink, so to speak, and, you know, cause for birds departure. There's a lost cause. You know, he did so much for Cubs history. But Jack Peterson is a guy that has a similar kind of approach may be a little bit more athletic and the outfield side and so you have a younger group that We'll have to step it up, whether it's an even happier and Nico Horner. You know, you need those guys to figure it out quickly so that you can not really lose a year because you're kind of resetting around the next wave of young talent. But, you know, I've always looked at bias. I mean, these guys have really tough years bias and Bryant so if they just get back to Recorders of where they were at their best. I mean, that's a force to be reckoned with. Here's my question for Doug Glanville, Doug I sometimes still play the outfield in 16 inch softball. You had a streak at one point 293 games without an error. Tell me what I'm doing wrong now. How can I? How can I avoid dropping that 16 inch clincher? You haven't stopped somebody else you have on the season. Too many. They keep track of its quite a streak You had. Yeah, well, I'll tell you, I trained under Jimmy Piersall and may he rest in peace and he was tough. But I learned a ton from him and when all of a sudden deadly we got along really well and no credit, a lot of my discipline to go with sort of natural skills or things that I can't already came to the table with for why I was able to do Such a streak and but the attention to detail and the mechanics of getting in the right position, not taking it for granted asses to the ball's going through the hitting zone. Tau already be in motion or anticipate where the ball's going to be. He talked a lot about the game in between pitches, and that's something that is so different now because of analytics. They're like, literally police see where you're supposed to be on. I had to kind of do a lot more with reeds. And it's taught me a lot about just making adjustments, pitch by pitch. So that was the key and just paying no real intention to every pitch, which doesn't always happen because this There's a lot of downtime. It seems from from the stands. It looks like there's a lot of downtime, and there really isn't for an outfielder so much more to this game than most people realize Doug Glanville's show on Marquee Sports network tonight. At 8 30 class in session with Doug Glanville. So I guess Doug, this is all about you talking to different athletes about the mental aspect of performance is that it? Well, there's an aspect of that. But so much of it is just about the intersection between sports and society. And I teach a course of university, Connecticut about it's literally called sport in society, and I've looked at, you know, social impact of sports. On and off the field, and I've always been fascinated about that. And how sports has led to change and also just how sports weaves into our culture..

All this snow makes me feel like I'm living in buffalo Except for the good football team. Of course, Good one. Miss the 1st 15 minutes of the show. How long did it take Bob to drive in today? I'm so glad all of you arrived safe and sound. Well, thank you. Um, usually Well, here's the deal. It usually takes me about 25 minutes today. It took me about a Knauer. But that's once I got on the road. Ask me how long it took. Once I got the car out of the garage and got stuck in the snow for me to get unstuck. I'll take you to get unstuck. Well, let's see. Waited about a half hour for a truck to help me and then it took another 15 20 minutes to get out of there. So there's almost another hour and a half. Did you ask the truck driver to just drive you into the pops around? You should have done that. Uh, I have Triple A is the best. They have held me so many times, And usually they arrive sooner than they estimate. So grateful. Yeah, they got to me sooner than the estimate, too. I think the estimate was the fourth of July. Unfortunately, it didn't didn't take that long to see a couple more messages. I wanted to acknowledge, but we are from Chicago and on vacation of Fort Myers Beach, Florida We're so happy not to be home, 80 degrees and sunny every day here, Janice. We don't want to hear that, Janice. But thanks for listening. We have a lot of long business listeners and transplanted Chicagoans with us in the morning, and we appreciate that. Also. You have been banned from coming back to Illinois. So don't even try that. Thank you. Steve forgot to mention that Let's see here. How is Marion doing after the storm ended, Bob clean off her car before coming in to work. Well, actually, it was parked out in the street and I was supposed to put it in the garage when I pulled out of the garage, But I realized there was no way I couldn't even get my car. About 100 got stuck like 100 ft. Outside my garage, my garage and so I wasn't about to start messing with her car, too. She's doing just fine. Probably just got up. Um And then I get a lot of messages along the lines of this one. Let me find it here, Um, I'll get there in a second here. Oh, here it is. Can you make a public service announcement and tell people to stop shooting snow into the street? Um Driving through Lombard Davila Parks, at least 20 residents doing this. Well, I guess that refers to the snow blowers. Is that what that is? I guess. Yeah, I've noticed a lot of that, too. The question. The question becomes, though, because I've been the one doing a lot of shoveling in my place with along with my neighbors. We have nowhere to put the stone anymore. I know that the pile's there. Where do you put it? Well, that guy, this noble Google guy we talked to earlier this morning said. Fortunately, and he clear snow around office buildings, and he said, it's a good thing. Most people are working from home because it lets him deposit snowing in the parking area. So well, And he also suggested flamethrowers, right? I think that's a really good idea if we could all just get some playing throwers. You work on that, Steve Uh, let's see if Bob or other Bob show team members are going north and taking side streets home today, you might want to consider stopping for punch key from delightful pastries and 59 27 West Lawrence. Took a punch key class there a number of years ago. The class in the pastries are great. Well, if we can make it there sounds like a good idea to me. But what was that addressing in 592959275927? Wes Lawrence? Yeah, well, I know where Steve was an inch is going to be in a couple hours.

You know, when I hear allergic reaction, I thought, you know somebody got their covert shot and had a reaction. But that's Not at all what this is. It's Chrissy Teegan, who loves posting pictures of herself on social media, but apparently she was eating an orange. And you know, some people will peel an orange before eating. Apparently she bit into the orange skin and all and I have to admit, sometimes I do that. Just there, you know, to break the skin so I can start. You're peeling it, So maybe that's what she's done. But when I do it, I wash the fruit first, because I figure there's all kinds of cooties on it and pesticides. And who knows what Apparently, she did not do that. And she says that she bit into the skin of a suspicious orange possible pesticides on the outside and posted a picture of her face her lips. Swole up her cheeks, her eyes. It all went down, that she took some anti histamines and they all went down and she's okay. But, you know, don't be like Christie Brinkley. Be careful if you're going to be doing anything like that. Christy Teeg Christie Teegan like yesterday when I was doing Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber. But the day after she has this reaction, she posted Pictures of herself post surgery after she had breast implants removed, so she's just been busy with her photographs on her instagram page. Showing off everything. I guess people were suspicious. They thought. Oh, now she's ahead. Some plastic surgeon face work done, but not the case. Those deadly oranges got to be careful. I guess I should know who, Um listen, Hannigan is Is that her name? Alyson, Alyson Hannigan Hannigan. I don't know the name, but I guess she's a familiar face. If you saw her on How I met your mother. She was the only you know. Everybody was single on the show except her and the Jason Segal character. She was very regular, very memorable character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She was in the original American Pie movies had very famous scene, which I'm gonna play a little love for you and the second she's one of the actors in a brand new Disney plus movie that's called Flora and Ulysses Story about a little girl who rescues a squirrel who turns out to have superpowers. So it's a true story. Obviously. But Alison Hanigan plays the mom in this Syriza. We did a little zoom chat, talked about the movie, but I also was curious which of her very famous roles. That she's had on TV and the movies that people ask her most often about what are the projects that people talk to you about. Most often ask you about most often. Um, I would say, definitely book me and how I met your mother. I guess it sort of depends who I'm talking Tonto. And for a while it was just always always Buffy. But then I'd say halfway through how I met your mother it it started predominantly being that show and and depending on my location, or who I'm talking to I consort of gas, like, okay, This is gonna be about the crowd. This will be the how I met your mother crowd. And then if I met him all, it'll be American pie At one time at Band Camp. We all lost our music and we were supposed to play this song. But we didn't know it. You're pissed about something That's her famous. You know what I do with learning from the original American pie movie, which believe it or not, is over 20 years old now from 1999, But she was in all the American pie movies, huh? And has had quite a career and now is playing Mom's on Disney. Plus and finally we have the update on the rock and what his plans are. This is very interesting. The rocks new TV, Syriza's The TV show that he's behind a Tree East anyway and his producing premieres tonight on CBS. And, uh, he is, uh, the Syriza's called Young Rock. And the premise of the TV show is that young Dwayne Johnson is running for president in the year 2032 in each episode. He looks back on when he was a little kid, The little little Rock S o. It sounds like it's gonna be interesting. And he certainly is beloved by everybody. But somebody asked him, you know if he would be open for really running for president. Which during the last election cycle, he said that he would definitely think about it that he's got some ideas and that he would think about it, and somebody asked him if he still would be open. Really running for president, and he said that he would consider a presidential run. If that's what the people wanted, says he's been a registered independent. Although he did support President Biden during the last election, But hey, that would be interesting, right? Have an actor run for and become president. Imagine that You smell what the rock is cooking. All right from the Oval Office, Dean, this Justin Due to snow and the storm, your punch. Key delivery has been delayed. Look for it by Memorial Day weekend. This is killing me that I mean. It's It's tough that people can't get through streets and you know everything's closed today. But the real tragedy of today is the lack of police keys. They're you know, delivered to TV and radio stations everywhere. It's just not happening today. And I, you know, I completely understand why, but It's just a very, very sad tragedy. When your your TV and radio people cannot be fed free pastries. You know what? We were hearing a lot of very early this morning. People who work at bakeries. We're just trying to get in to work. Because it's a big day for them. Sure, I mean, people have been ordering dozens and dozens and dozens dozens of Poon skis, You know, for weeks and weeks and weeks. It's a tradition and you know, these bakers were trying to get to work. Really this morning to fulfill all the orders that they had. So this punch ski tragedy of 2021 is one that historians will be talking about decades. Why can't we get the helicopters up for the pointy deliveries and seriously have they never heard of drones for well? This Tuesday won't be as fat as most are. All right. D will talk to you tomorrow. He later coming up. We'll talk Tomo Doug Glanville. He's got some interesting programs on the Cubs Marquis Network. I was looking at an old Cubs game on Marquis last night. Doug came up to bat.

"It is 10 minutes before eight o'clock social media strategist Scott Kleinberg with us for his Tuesday morning briefing. Are you doing, Scott? I'm doing well, Bob, How are you? Well, you know what? I made it to work, So it's been a success. Let ze talk about What's happening now that the presidential election is over the impeachment trial is over. And apparently Facebook has. Ah, brilliant idea. What is it that I know, Scott? You had to do a double take when you heard about this, right? Yeah. Yeah, I actually thought it was an April fool's joke, But Facebook is actually now launching a test. Where it's going to reduce the amount of political content. People's news feeds because people have been concerned about the impact of this divisive political debates, so they're going to do something about it. Why now? That's such a good question, Bob. It's like they just woke up. You know. Mark Zuckerberg CEO said that one comment piece of feedback They here is that people don't want political content to take over their newspeak. So in the next few months, they're going to figure out a way to address that. So they're starting out by reducing the distribution outside the U. S. First in Canada, Brazil, Indonesia in small places that don't have any impact on here, and then they're going to move to the U. S in the next few weeks, And then what? Well, then they find ways to rank that kind of contact, and then they have to distribute it differently than they're doing it now and then. I think they have to survey users and after all that, based on the results, they'll either make changes or he'll go back to the way things work. Explain again how these tests work. Yeah, sure. So Facebook every other Social platform two at for that matter. They run these tests from time to time in different places, and most are small, sometimes a handful of people. Sometimes the country like we just talked about before. The goal is to get feedback from a small subset before they even think about a wide rollout. And that's actually smart. You know, A lot of big changes do come from a result of these tests. You know, on Twitter, you have tweets that doubled in size on other platforms. You've had videos take over. You know for photos. It's like Forrest Gump said. You never know what you're gonna get. I know you'll be using Facebook for a long time. You think this is the right way to approach it? I would say it's a way. Um, it's a good way. But I think that there are ways that the public would appreciate more. So, for example, there are lots of platforms out there where you logged on and people you know, you can select the kinds of things that interest you the most. You could say. I want to see sports. I want to see this and that way that they choose the content is how the content appears on the platform. I would love to see Facebook offer check boxes where you could be select politics when it gets to be too much, and then you can select it again when important events are happening, So you know someone who has no interest in sports would never see sports content. But Facebook, you know, remember, is an algorithm its base by an algorithm. So it's not about you know, giving person personal choice. It's about the larger delivery system. And I think the crazy thing is, you know they're waiting until politics is, you know, almost second hand right now. Because of everything that's already happened when they could have been testing this when it was happening, So it's it's just interesting. And when might we know when Facebook or what Facebook decides that? That's a really tough to answer question, Bob Some tests they happen quick. Some last years, I would say the bigger the potential outcome, the longer it takes to make it decision. So to answer your question, I would say that by the At least I hope that by the time we get to midyear elections, 2022 that will have some sense of where they're headed. It's 7 54. The news at eight from the North Western Medicine newsroom will include all of the latest weather and traffic info. Scott before we let you go. Is Twitter really going to go to a subscription model? Are we gonna have to pay for Twitter? I would not worry about that. Right now. This this topic comes up every once in a while where people are talking about it. I would say that Twitter has been looking into ways to charge for content, probably for years now and every once in a while. Someone wants to figure out the magic way to do it. I do not think that we are going to have to Katie get on Twitter. At some point, Maybe you'll have to pay for something specific that on Twitter, but even that, I think has a long way to go before it actually hits us. Well, this is the morning where on Facebook and Twitter. It's all about the snow and pictures of cars stuck. Yeah, I came across a quote that I wanted to share with you. I thought this was just so perfect on guy Can't remember who said this, but I've stole it and I'm using it all the time. Ready for this. Just just because we have the means of expressing opinions quickly does not mean we have an opinion worth expressing quickly. That Dad? I would I would. I may actually hijack that. That's a really good. That was a really good word. You think a good quote. You know, we should all have that. Like on a post it note near our phones and computers. Don't you think it should be? It should be absolutely on our phone. We should refer to it 10 times a day. Got Kleinberg social media strategist doctor next week. Thank you, Scott. Take care of up. It's almost 7 56 right now, after the eight o'clock news, which, as I said, we'll include a complete weather and traffic roundup Will check on what's happening in the world of entertainment with Dean Richards and He's got the info on that Oprah interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Also, there's a new star of Season two of Bridgeton. Let's talk about that. And Dionne Warwick says. There's going to be a serious based on her life. I'll watch that's all coming up. And in our next hour in addition to keeping you posted on the slowly improving weather and traffic will check in with Doug Glanville and talk about the Cubs in the marquee channel and what Doug is up to these days. News coming up at eight. If you've got an insurance question, you could talk to a park Ranger. But the only quotes they'd probably give you would be about the beauty of a fallen leaf or ripples in a pond. Not the kind that could save you money on your policies. Or you could talk to your local Geico agent.
