How you look like a badass at a bar and he walked up to the bar and he’s like give me a glass of vodka and then he whispers make it all water and he gave it to the guy and he chugs and he’s like this vodka is so
Good I don’t know just made me think of that I watched way too many Tik toks while pooping um but we do have actually have baseball stuff to talk about uh as mentioned Jed and Scott Boris are apparently in a severe staring contest with regards the
Free agents um they are the finalist for [ __ ] I’m GNA [ __ ] this guy’s name up so bad you got it you got it I want to say like uh I’m a come on come on come on come on I’m I’m not gonna work here anymore I’m I’m
Aaga sounds like uh the dude when he’s putting in Casa oh my I’ve learned with most of the Japanese names you just have to like sound it out and you you’ll get it like all I will say is thank God 100% that that college football player going to West Virginia is
Not a baseball player because that name would not be fun to say if you don’t know who I’m talking about look up West Virginia football the kid’s last name is spelled k n GGA oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I saw that did I share that with you guys
Or you shared that with me I can’t remember no I don’t know but hold on I want to read this one Super Chat from our boy BTO God bless jaylo and Fields hell I don’t know the Jay Love part he’s trolling me oh fids oh yeah field he’s
Gonna really hate Sunday night I’m just gonna say this also zo I have your Grateful Dead bobblehead that you will get tomorrow oh that’s cool I like the second part of that cheers will you squeeze his nipples for me when you’re there by the way give him a little
Just probably not I see I’ve been so sucked in I’ve had a Le I’ve never really utilized the leave conversation button on Twitter I’ve had to use it four times in the last week because for some reason I respond to like Justin Fields tweets and then I get
Sucked into like the same exact argument over and over and over and I’m just like all right well this is going in circles it’s like a dog chasing its tail right now I I can’t even argue anymore I’m in a happy play I’m like so I’m at peace
With every anything they choose now at this point I feel is the right move forward so I’m good it it it is what it is man and it’s it’s just funny seeing all these current and former players being like if they get rid of fields they’re idiots but it is what it
Is uh I was laughing in the 108 show when beef tried to bring it up and I was just like oh Gees it’s not this show too it’s pretty simple beat the Packers no reason why he should stay he shouldn’t stay beat the Packers this is what happens when this
Is what happens when like 25 of the top 40 free agents in MLB haven’t signed yet after New Year’s in Chicago we have baseball shows have to transition to uh Justin Fields versus start with it yeah [ __ ] we’re leading with it you got guys pitching friendship t-shirts to
Jeff Ban live on the show but shout out to those guys yeah shout big shout out to 108 the the annual Jeff pan episode I think it was better this year than it was last year it was extremely good Smasher passes about chaos so is Hogan beef so is
Hogan let’s do a little promo here since honestly I mean I know we’re doing a show here where we’re gonna talk about some Cubs and socks signing guys this is a Friday night show this is a little different this is not I love this casual show no pants shirt um what were
You guys biggest takeaways from the p and uh interview on the from the 108 pod I really liked I liked his vantage point on GS it actually not very often do I listen to podcast or anything like that and go like wow that really changed my opinion
On this like it’s just like when people on Twitter like tweet out something political and you’re like yes that’s gonna make me change my entire political Viewpoint for that tweet but I will say the way that pan angled Chris gets and how it’s unfair for people to [ __ ] on him because of the
White Sox poor Player Development was very interesting to me and it really did kind of change my vantage point if you will on Chris gets to the point where I’m now I don’t have a really opinion on it I’m gonna wait and see what happens I mean obviously
He’s not out of the gate super hot but I do agree with pan that his first big test is going to be the return he gets for Dillan ceas yeah and the fact that he hasn’t like you know like a like a little kid like learning how to like
Play basketball or something like he hasn’t gotten all excited and fumbled the bag right away just to do it just to do it like he’s he’s taking these he’s playing it close to the chest he’s listening to these trade offers [ __ ] he might wait to the trade
Deadline if the offer is not there but I think that’s a good litus test for him but the fact I liked how he angled it and was like when you’re the director of Player Development not only is it the second hardest job in the organization but you
Could only work with the players that are given to you to develop and you know you can give the best chef in the world a bag full of [ __ ] lemons but he can’t make filet Manan out of that you know what I mean like yeah it’s just I got I didn’t
Really think of it like that I always just thought of it like they drafted studs and you [ __ ] them up and I think that’s unfair and so that was kind of the biggest thing I took away from it it was really kind of a huh moment for me and I
Was sober so that was cool how about you Kevin what do you got from passing you know there was Eric it was him giv a lot of positive optimism about Eric fety I think that that I think that White Sox fans were pretty milk toast about H the signing and I
Think that it seems to be a lot in the baseball circles that the guy might have found some some magic overseas and when guys find magic overseas they could you know be someone that can be a special Story I mean let’s be honest those guys root for good stories like this um you
Know they look they if there’s a story like this that that guy comes back and he like dominates or maybe not dominates but but pitches well I say pitch well I that’s a lot of expectation but a guy come I love the idea that he was selling
White Sox fans on on Eric fetty could be a good solid ad you know addition to the rotation especially with the loss of CE you’re going to get see a lot of them and you know the development that he you know he picked up overseas with the
Sweeper it’s a sweeper right yeah and yep um the the fact that he’s added something to his Arsenal and he’s had some adversity and now he’s battling back it brings in a hungry guy that does have a World Series ring um you know but don’t forget that so there’s there’s a
Little bit in there and a guy that has played uh some great baseball in bursts I mean especially as a college guy and at the high school level obviously great to but as a college guy he was great too so I it’s kind of cool to see that that
Maybe he’s selling a little bit more on this so I I like the fact that uh maybe he sold some people and they’re going to be less pessimistic and maybe maybe throw out a little bit more belief in the kid because the interesting part there too was how he basically said
Don’t be surprised if he starts out as a bullpen piece uh I took more that as a worst case scenario it’s like hey okay that’s fair seven and a half million for a reliever and as the 108 guys pointed out the white socks under the old regime spent a lot more on relievers
So my biggest takeaway was uh uh who knew Jeff passing the ultimate wingman uh yeah how many of you guys are going to get the tips for your boy to get laid uh so get at this age not gonna happen yeah but shout out to Jeff pass like
Great wingman College though might have done it now no chance now I’ll tell you to go home and rub one out and go to sleep because it’s I’m not doing that like you get you get the frosted tips yeah you’re the one who’s get trying to get it here
Yeah you do all of that uh what’s wrong with frosted tips I mean come on we should bring it back that tribal tattoos they’re not going anywhere they’re gonna be around forever it’s a great idea we do okay I mean I think we have our next bet for 2024 frosted tips
Bet I died pass in 108 frosted tips heed have frosted tips um everyone did in the late 9 the other interesting thing and I going back to your boy F fetty just the amount the money they paid for vti and then you look at like the deals that
Lucas G Alo got why the [ __ ] not you know what I mean like what what does that hurt if if G’s getting that kind of money yeah after that season he just had I think we saw I think we saw the explosion of the contracts a few years
Ago like right uh you know the Texas Rangers getting Simeon and Seager and then the the shortstop class last year you know it changes our it it takes some time though right to you know adjust we see these big deals we’re like wait that wasn’t happening five years ago so like
How long is it going to correct is it going to correct is it just going to keep escalating uh but you look at pitching and U you know passing in that interview uh brought it up too and you brought it up with Lucas gito after a down couple Seasons there still getting
A big chunk of dough with the Red Sox pitching is just so valuable that even if if you could just go out there every fifth day if you can be like a four a 4.2 ER pitcher which is you know like around League average that’s valuable now like that’s just like bam
That’s $15 million a year like that’s just what it is now that’s just however you want to say good or bad that’s just how teams operate where like yeah we hey you’re gonna you’re gonna get you’re going to give us 180 Innings this year you’re going to go out there and get us
Like a four we want you cuz damn that’s that’s the cost of pitching now and and we talked about on the show we last year after the lockout there’s sticker shock it’s not going to come back down it’s going up it’s going to continue to go up the
Market in four years is actually we’re going to look back like we look back now at Bryce Harper’s deal and it’s a freaking steel and that was just a couple what four four five years ago or whatever now we’re going to we’re going to look back on a lot of these deals
Because the market value the players are getting just more of their share of the profits the owners are already breaking in we don’t even realize how much these owners are breaking in so if these guys are getting 5 to 7% of it and then they
Go up to maybe 10% of it that’s a that’s literally the equ equivalent of like every major free agent an additional 10 to 15% increase in what the salary would be over the previous year it’s the market is only going to continue to go up and it’s it’s this is this is by
Design because this is where the players are now have negotiated all this stuff in they’re they’re holding true and that lockout showed a lot of people lot of things that these owners are really trying to protect you know they’re hoarding over their money like freaking like the dragon and freaking Lord of the
Rings and so you’ve got this whole issue now with the payroll is going to keep going up and people just it’s hard for people to adjust to it do you remember when Ryan I mean you although you were like four but when Ry Samberg signed his
Contract with the Cubs back in what 91 92 it was like four years for like 22 million and everyone’s like holy [ __ ] I mean that’s yeah and and it it’s the reaction now is just it’s again it’s just old world thinking as the world continues to evolve that’s why people
Keep freaking out with these numbers with with like Bellinger and with shohi and look this is the market like it is what it might take that might weed candy bars uh Old Henry’s well that’s what the angels are gonna be offering but the problem is you’re seeing like you guys said this the
Sticker price for pitching but then you’re seeing these teams that are building almost like Dream Team lineups and they go skimpy on the pitching in their first round exits second round exits yeah so that’s where the the whole catch22 is in the whole thing is like
You don’t want to pay for pitching but you need pitching and win [ __ ] I I do think I was thinking about this uh earlier in terms of how slow the free agent process obviously we’re hyperfocused on the Cubs because you know they’re they’re supposed to be uh
Spending near the top of the market and they just had they’re still sleeping um we haven’t missed anything we we we probably couldn’t have we didn’t do a show this week wouldn’t have missed a Cub’s move because he still haven’t done anything uh but that’s not that’s not true
When roster mov man roster Edition not 27 man but they’re almost there but if you look at the overall like uh just the in activity and that the besides you know obviously shoi and Yamamoto the two biggest stars in free agency going to the same scene the Dodgers
Um I do think that with the recent big spending that we’ve seen from the Padres with the Mets and like what did and I know the Texas Rangers did it too and they they won the World Series this uh this past year but what have we seen
With the Padres it’s like man they went for it backtack you know offseasons trade deadlines spend a [ __ ] ton of money and all they got was like an NLCS appearance didn’t even make the playoffs in 23 after the season they’re like [ __ ] we got to pay we got to cut payroll by
50 million they trade away want and uh you know they they’ve had these uh signings uh for some pitchers in the past couple weeks which is you know good solid moves but like you look at the New York Mets when they went crazy you know paying sherzer and Verlander $40 million
A year and then bam two months into the season they got to blow it up because everything just fell apart I think there is maybe a little tricker down effect where other owners are like see see wait we we don’t have to go out there and spend because yeah because hey look look
At those teams they went for it fans loved it and what do they get nothing and if you look at the free agent Market that’s kind of what’s Happening Cody Ben Cody Bellinger love them want the Cubs to land them but there is a reason it’s not just the Cubs
No one no one the Giants aren’t right now the the Blue Jays aren’t right now team are not calling up Scott Boris and they’re not like hey yes we’ll give you the $250 million right now no they’re willing to wait it out they’re willing to lose just so they don’t have to spend
The extra money right now that’s what it looks like it looks like that and it also just looks like teams are becoming a little bit more realistic with if we don’t have pitching We’re not gonna go anywhere yeah and if you drop 250 mil in Cody Bellinger you’re throwing out triaa pitchers
Double A pitchers and that’s what we saw with the one of the things we can’t talk about is that San Francisco Giants Seattle man exactly what I was going to the Mariners you know they get Robbie Ray former sa young guy but like he’s not coming back until August half a
Season of Robbie Ray maybe and it’s like all right you you know if he’s healthy you’re getting like a ace type pitcher but dude’s in his 30s coming back from time John I don’t know what what were you guys thoughts on that trade that was a little I mean
Depoto we knew it trades were coming I saw it and it was funny that that tweet that came out that was like he had a no trade clause till January 1 so depoto literally waited four days until after that was waved to trade them uh it was one of those things where
Like I told you Jeff Ban’s the only guy that I got alerts on for on Twitter so it popped up on my phone I thought he [ __ ] up I thought it was like a typo or he left out a name or something because basically they gave Mitch hanigar back to the Mariners
Yeah for half a season of Robby Ray they also they did get a okay picture uh just uh what the [ __ ] is his name Anthony disfani I mean he’s all right kind of offset that money but here’s me I mean this trade for it it’s one move out of
This but I here’s my concern and I think I I might have even mentioned in our DMS this is also the Giants clearing up space in their Clubhouse of outfielders perhaps in a pres you know in preparation for perhaps assigning of a new outfielder that can then push Yas to
The bench as a as a depth guy because Yas is basically on that bottom end now he’s more of a you know a spot starter not an everyday guy and feels like a white a future White Sonic and that’s the thing is I’m sitting here and the
Cubs are dealing with Co Binger and hanging on slowly but surely and the Giants are freeing up space for another outfielder on their roster I’m starting to get bigger butterflies than I’ve already had and I’ve told you guys this all offseason that I feel like this the Giants are a
Terrifying Dark Horse especially once the Dodgers went apeshit and and now desperation is a tendered trap and I’m I’m very concerned that Jed is out here trying to play like you know Wolf of Wall Street uh and you know trying to cut as many off this deal not
Necessarily to save money but just because the rush of the deal I think that’s I think that’s Jed’s thing I think he’s like like one of those stock broker guys that like it’s not about the money it’s more about the rush of like winning the deal and I’m terrified that
He’s gonna end up playing too much and flying too close to the Sun like I said today earlier on my post and and the Giants are going to come in here and just say [ __ ] it here take it no more arson judge we’re we’re playing and the desperation really plays into it their
Owner today said that they’re they’re not done and all this stuff seems to be happening I I’m very concerned that this is the Dark Horse that’s going to slide in and pull Cody Bellinger from the Cubs and really leave the Cubs in a a really rough spot this offseason because they
Feel like a lot of people believe they’re the only ones in the race and they’re not they’re really not it’s either that or it’s gonna be like have you guys ever watched that Storage Wars show where people like they bit on the storage locker it could be like the Cubs
I don’t know pick any character and basically the Giant and I don’t know let’s say like the Yankees are basically just like watch this we’re going to [ __ ] these guys and they just keep bidding and bidding and bidding to raise up the price raise up the price and then the
Cubs are going to get in there be like yeah uh 320 and they’re gonna be like yeah bye have fun with that’s a thing what’s happening right now is the opposite like none of the teams are bitting Scott Waris is like in the front of the of the storage container he’s
Like guys there’s stuff in the box from a Major League Baseball free agent today is nobody signing until February period And I said is this because AB Boris his response absolutely not okay so why why is no one signing to February though that so then it’s Cody
B he Wasing that the owners the owners and the front offices aren’t offering any deals of like they right now they’re all like well [ __ ] it fine we’re not signing if you’re not going to offer anything good we’re not taking it so it sounds like based on what Jason was
Saying because from shrieve that these offers aren’t coming in for real like and this is obviously he’s communicating what his agents dealing with too is that the deals that are coming in are far under what they should be for these guys and they’re like well [ __ ] you I’ll wait
Till February we’ll let you sweat it out you deal with your fan base have your have your FanFest with with uh a bunch of no namers and you know a couple returners from last year have fun with that good job and so there’s that too these guys some of these guys are seeing
The writing on the wall and maybe you’re right in that sense but I think that inevitably the Market’s going to have to shift upwards because well we know Cody Bellinger won’t sit out but we know Cody Bellinger will sure as hell take a if he’s going to take a
Cheap [ __ ] deal he’s going to take a one year to go play for the Dodgers and win a [ __ ] World Series so and and come back next year so this is the thing that these guys are doing right now is they’re kind of trying the owners are
They the front offic is not owners but more off they’re just kind of they’re kind of lowballing a little bit right now in a lot of ways after the show stuff everything’s such a big let down and these players are like well fine I’ll just wait it out too so it it
Doesn’t it sounds like it’s everybody and it’s know that’s why I keep saying like as like cspan should be annoyed pissed off that it’s January it’s about to be January 6 if you’re listening to this on uh on Spotify or apple podcast but uh not one free agent move zero dollar
Spend free agency along with the Marlins uh but at the same time the the one guy that the top remaining Target is Cody Bellinger and all the news that you get right now is just a a big old staring contest between Scott bis and all the teams and right now we’re
Getting the we’re getting the Playbook from both sides you know this past week Scott pores hit up his boy John hayon and we got the direct copy and paste email into the New York Post it’s like ah Cubs not not so certain that all that was was hey Cubs do you want Cody
Bellinger offer more than $200 million and the Cubs are on the other side been like uh you know no one’s really offering uh Cody Binger any we’ll keep waiting it out the the Giants they’re still in it but like they haven’t offered anything the Blue Jays what are they gonna offer anything
Who else is in it and like that that’s just they’re just going back and forth right now it’s been going on for a month obviously we got slipt up in the craze with shohi and uh Yamamoto but like that that’s why this offseason’s so I was
Going to say I’m S I am surprised because Cody Bellinger is the one top position player left and it’s kind of a drop off after him and I’m surprised that there aren’t teams like taking advantage of that and be like all right bam let me swoop in here let me give you
Even if it’s not the crazy numbers that we’ve seen that Boris was saying like 300 million but they’re like hey we’ll do we’ll do eight years 30 million a year [ __ ] it let’s do it no team is doing that no no team is doing that yet
So yeah but here’s the thing too and you guys know how I feel about this too is I’m so [ __ ] tired of the blaming Scott Boris thing cuz Scott Boris is literally acting at the direction of his if if Cody Bellinger wanted to play for the Cubs immediately he would tell Scott
Boris to get something done he wants the money too if he wanted to if and please don’t say Hometown discount cup fans he played here for a damn year okay Hometown discount is Arizona that’s the Dodgers that’s not the Cubs okay it’s one year the dude is sitting here going
If he wanted to be a cub and it was only about being a cub and not about money he’d be signed by right now so stop like and this is what I love what Scott Bor does so well Scott Boris is the shield for these players when it comes to
Optics everybody blames Scott Boris for some reason they’re under the stupid misconception that Scott Boris is their boss and is running their show it’s like the equivalent of me going to McDonald’s and you telling me the cashier is my boss when I try to order what I want off
The [ __ ] McDonald’s menu he’s out there doing what they want him to do but he’s just you know he’s been wearing it for 30 40 years now at this point he becomes the shield of optics for these guys so everyone blames Boris and the players kind of slide under radar and
Get off way Scot free but in the end if these guys wanted to sign they would take the next deal that was you know that that was given and say let’s get it done I want to go play for the Cubs done but it’s not there Cody has not gotten a
Single offer that is commiserate with what Cody Bellinger wants it’s not what Scott Boris wants it’s what Cody Bellinger wants it’s what uh ble Snell wants it’s what what uh um what’s his name um Montgomery Montgomery wants it’s not what bis wants it’s what those guys
Want but Boris is going to do what he does to get them what he what they want and he’ll stand there Jed Hoyer he’ll wear the arrow he’ll wear the arrows of the you know everyone’s insults and everyone will blame him and that’s what he does so
Well he doesn’t give two shits what you think but he is gonna take care of his clients and that’s what makes him such an incredible agent and and uh you know as as a player you don’t ever hear I think someone brought up the one time someone fired Scott Boris it was Kenny
Rogers before he signed with the Dodgers nobody else has fired him and nobody else talks [ __ ] about him because everybody loves him he protects them and that’s the it’s funny it’s a low hanging fruit and actually shows a lack of understanding about the process to always blame Scott Boris for this all be
It’s the players it’s the players when they want to sign when they see something that’s commiserate with what they’re looking for they’ll sign give them what they want and they’ll sign but now they’re not getting what they want and as a result they’re still not signed it’s you know don’t blame the the
Messenger blame you know blame the the guy that actually sent the message and that’s the player and that’s fine because they deserve it they deserve it that this is definitely it’s just it’s bottom line it’s about the money these guys are in free agency this is their
One Big Shot they’re big shot at a lifechanging money uh yeah I’ll never blame them and again but it’s also hard to blame your your team or whatever when there seems to be a consensus League wide that hey this guy maybe isn’t worth what he’s asking for so it’s hard or or it’s
Collusion by front offices to keep the money down too since we know they operate with such Integrity like we’ve seen that’s true like owners we know the most worthy of people um like we’ve seen other teams spend huge money on free agent it’s not like they don’t like try Turner he got his
Money really fast last the Dodgers spent a billion dollars Dodgers like the money the Texas Rangers they got they went to to Corey Seager and Simeon right away they’re like hey Bam let’s get this deal so like I do think there’s a I’m really bummed they just don’t
Believe in the Cody Bellinger resur Resurgence from 2023 and that’s where he’s going to May end up taking another one-year deal with an opt out and say [ __ ] you I’ll prove it a big give me a big aav for this year and then next year
Do it all over again and he would end up one year 50 million right field here come on I think in that one circumstance though he ends up going back to the Dodgers for another year like that that if he’s gonna do one of the one-year Spinners I don’t think he’s gonna come
To I don’t think he’s gonna sign with the Cubs I think he’d sign with someone like the Dodgers because it is [ __ ] it why not write why not go crazy folks I don’t think he’d go back I think he I don’t think he a one-year [ __ ] I think
He did onee [ __ ] and he’s going to get the biggest contract he can possibly get this year well he’ll wait it out but I’m saying if if it doesn’t come to what he wants he can very easily I think if anything he’ll do the the Korea the Korea deal will he’ll have
The op out after one year but like it’ll talk about a guy who hasn’t been talked about at all at all at all they remember socks fans like this guy’s going to sign for like $15 million at all the only time I’ve ever seen it crickets was Bleacher Report did
Like their standard like 10 slide Instagram post and they needed to fill a slide and they threw Tim Anderson in there actually you know one of the funniest things I saw recently I forget if it was around uh I think it was around Christmas time I think it was pedri Gall who was
Like man if you look at our lineup it’s pretty damn good you know all we’re missing is like a guy like ta it’s like hey you could have had him like why are you talking about Tim Anderson Pedro that’s let’s go let that go what are you
Doing I just thought that was funny he just randomly brought up to me he’s like yeah this is a pretty good lineup we’re missing ta but uh you know other than that it’s like you guys could have had him what are you talking about and then
Ta posts his Instagram story of him like in the Banning cage it was nothing special and like people are like oh ta’s back in the lab I’m like mother better to be getting those first class tickets ready cuz he’s going as long as he’s wearing rubbers this off season
He’s in good shape that’s just Jeff or I think be was what that brought it up to passing last night how like all these moves that the Chris gets is making like again they’re in the 2024 white socks are going to suck these moves are just to fill out roster spots because you
Just need bodies to get through a season but he was like any move that’s brought up that gets done right now it’s just toxicity from the f base and all I remember from that Tim Anderson video was the all like all the first three comments I saw was like what ground ball
The second and a pop out to Center like that’s what he’s posed oh man Port I mean t talk about a guy who’s like the last guy who was a star and then bam I don’t say portier I mean sometimes he like I don’t feel bad for him in that
Sense he’s a guy who like he made it he he went from like he won the batting title he was there yeah he he was an Allstar shortstop for like two years and heav as to like nobody like bench second basem in like a matter of 18 months hey
Man like carbs they make you fat he even played good at the World Baseball Classic like he played second Pace he stepped up he had some good hits good at bet like he was I was like all right cool oh Missy just got here I’m glad she
Didn’t see the intro um happy January 6 happy Holidays but yeah long story short is I hope ta likes Sushi homie is there any looking at the big free agents left again plenty of them is there besides Bell and at least for me I’m still surprised that that has been more aggressive just because he is
The only well like him and Chapman I guess like I was gonna say I thought I thought Chapman would be signed by now okay about you Kevin you surprised by any other guy is not being signed yet um I’m a little shocked that Snell hasn’t I’m a little shocked that um I actually
A hater I thought ha would probably sign a little sooner too and I thought I thought hater being in Texas shooting [ __ ] already and yeah I’m looking through the list of there I mean Jo still out there Justin Turner JD Martinez right uh ta Kershaw but he’ll just he’ll eventually
Sign um no he’s gonna sign till the summer because he had surgery yeah so he’s fine and then you got uh no I mean her no I mean that I’d say probably yeah it’s got to be uh um I am the leprechaun [ __ ] that Friday show is way
Better I think maybe I should eat one do the rest of the show like that tell ghost story though tell us a ghost story The Leprechaun no don’t do it again all right so uh resident socks fan on the show right now shout out Mitch hardworking Mitch um shout out Mitch no
Days off Mitch besides fetty because you know he he got he got legit money seven and a half average um that’s big boy money who out of the other guys that the White Soxs have signed who do you have a favorite um so many to choose who’s your
Guy oh let’s do that who’s your guy right now well I like Tim Hill just because my tweet about him blew up a little bit when I said he looks like he smokes cool 100s and stays at the motel on 78 in cisero all right by the way who’s he fooling he’s
Not 33 what does he say he is I don’t know Tim Hills 86 years old uh they mentioned it on the 108 last night how hilarious it was that people were outraged that they signed Chad Cole to a minor league contract Chad call oh look it holy [ __ ] he’s like Beetlejuice you
Say his [ __ ] name and he appears oh you talking [ __ ] yeah Harding man look at that gu 11 minutes before my nine o’clock show and then I’ll hop back on for another half hour or so so well I can tell you right now Mitch the Friday
Show Vibes are a lot different than the Wednesday show Vibes one cuz I’m drinking two Fizz is taking out of BS all those drinking straight vodka this is just well I’m sober so at least we have some sense of Reason here in this CH well we’re talking about all the guys
The white sock sign right now we started Tim Hill and then we got Chad Co and then they designated Carlos Perez ripip uh they signed Chris flexen fle who else we got we got Martin madoo was official but you forgot the biggest one the button Meister himself Zack
Remar’s gone I thought that ped’s guy he’s fast he’s versatile he bunts I thought they wanted to play small ball [ __ ] going on over there that’s what I thought too [ __ ] I’m like who Chris gats going against his own I know he’s I know he’s not good but neither of any of
The guys that they’ve signed oh wait wait wait wait I didn’t know this for the style that they’re trying to play Carlos Perez is back he’s there you go they cleared waivers there we go I figured but the Astros the Astros claimed Dean Cronin off waiver such a good side
Name like I thought they had something there like I’m not going to say he was going to be good but like his ground ball rate through every level he’s pitched into miners including last year even though he’s getting knocked around a little bit really good and it’s small
Sample size but I I actually think he could be I think that’s a nice pick up for the Astros yog said Mitch has that when that fade dog holy [ __ ] that’s hilarious yes Dean Cronin I think I went to school with 10 dein Cronin on the south side of
Chicago I really wish he would have worked out here because that would have been a perfect oh I agree Southside name I guess my guy [ __ ] I don’t really have a guy out of this group um they just signed or just like in general like all the
Guys yeah he know he got can’t pick fetty even though that’s probably who I would have picked but can’t pick fetty I’m going Maldonado maldonado’s gonna be my guy there you go Glock R Vibes guy World Series champion that was actually like that that signing made sense to me
Because like a lot of like I’m I don’t know and I guess it’s not a big deal because we’re gonna be like shitty next year anyway but it’s kind of annoying none of these like you have no idea what the direction of this franchise is because all these guys I can tell you
The direction well yeah I mean like right but like none of them are like long-term moves like none of these are like long they have not added one piece it’s gonna help them when this supposed contention window back up put some [ __ ] respect on Tim Hill’s name
Buddy hey Martin Maldonado has a 2025 option so yeah I’m gonna go with Tim Hill just because my tweet making fun of him blew up so I’m going to rock with them uh this is one question I wanted to ask you guys and we go back to the Jeff
Pass and talking about how important the Dylan C’s return is going to be for the white socks how scared are you guys that it’s going to be like a chis sale trade 2.0 and the Stars you get back he brought that up dude he brought that up like it hinges your rebuil because
That’s call what it is this is another rebuild it hinges on the Stars you get back from Dylan se he 100% brought that up as like a comp and I was like oh [ __ ] like that’s that’s not great though but you still have kiero who’s supposed to be a Cornerstone like
He’s probably the future catcher you still got Montgomery coming up you still have Gonzalez they drafted so that is a big part of it but I don’t think it completely hinges on it because they got a lot of other guys that they’re pushing their chips even like nasini Jake eater
Too is another huge one because he traded burger for him that’s a guy I feel like he has got a lot of pressure on him too it’s a lot’s gonna hinge on that so yeah I agree but I don’t think it’s the end all Beall if they don’t work out this this
Regime did not trade for him you know what I mean yes yes but uh I will say MLB just did their you know a player from each team that could break out this season blah blah blah it was eater for the white socks I mean I know
That doesn’t mean [ __ ] but I’m running with whatever I can get these days so it is concerning he had to go to pitchers and catchers Camp last year though in the middle of the Season that that that was a little guy likes to play wasn’t back
He was but it because he was struggling so much they’re like hey like let’s well wait was he hurt or was he hurt no as he had been because he missed the full year so it was like hurt it was it was more shaking off rust I feel like
There’s gonna be a lot of injuries this season for the white socks well that’s why I’m not a breakout season I think he’s gonna get hurt too no that’s happening Yan monat a breakout that’s for the first two weeks of April until something my massive hot take for this
Season is Yan Manata is gonna have a [ __ ] career year on his contract you should do it Yan M 2023 or 2024 MVP that guy has seen some stuff I gave him a dollar on the street the other day I’m telling you he was great he was
Great in uh um I think he was in your story about the uh the M story he was one of the yeah he was one of the guys that was getting cleared out do you remember when shot he hit the half court shot in semipro yes this dude has never met a drum
Circle he doesn’t like he loves rickyy he is in it to win it dude this is what happens of years of solving mysteries in the mystery machine with a talking dog does to you it is literally Shaggy at 40 all those years taken their toll now turned to
Drug right now right now y dog’s watching the show and being like I that Dude Looks Like A guy to hang out with but still like this yeah that that’s gonna stay in the uh the archives here we’re gonna we’re gonna reference that Tim Hill pitcher
Quite a bit this season Tim over the Hill wrong I love it when you had dogs here it just makes me laugh come on he looks like he’s from Burbank oh yeah absolutely come on cool 100s hon I would hang out with Tim Hill he look NASCAR too there he is he looks like a big fan of
Primus he listens to Primus maybe a big fan of Dimebag Daryl it’s probably it’s a Dimebag Daryl rest in peace picture like poster in his room oh bridge view my fault I thought you were a bbilly so since we’ve been doing this show well when we started the show the white socks were
Middle of the rebuild um now heading to 2024 and as we’ve seen with the moves um I don’t know why people are questioning like oh what’s it like I I get what you’re saying Mitch like you know longterm like Beyond 2024 but in terms of like this season we
Know what it is the white are GNA suck like they’re doing these moves because they’re not trying to win in 2024 I get you’re with because tanking doesn’t really help them uh that much but sometimes that’s why it’s like confusing to me like they can’t tank none of them
Are like longterm pieces I get if you’re gonna be bad and you got some like placeholders from some guys but they still got a hole at second base they still got a hole at right field they have an address it’s a I don’t know it’s a kind of Bret Phillips is your starting
Right fielder yeah actually no that’s my guy yeah Brett Phillips is my guy I forgot about [ __ ] he doesn’t see any of that money though unless he makes the major league Squad which is wild I’m sure close Missy four minutes ago but like what what are you guys how
Are you guys at like 35 feelings wise with like the like this is the least excited I’ve been for a White Sox baseball season yeah probably in like the last at least like last 10 years from what I can remember even when they were bad going the rebuilds it was like
Oh well they at least the seats are going to be cheap we’ll have a grand old time watching ymer dunk Gatorade on people but like now it’s just like yeah I don’t know I’m already tired of the idea of prospect watching because we’re gonna be doing that all [ __ ] season Prospect I’m watching
Uh I’m an old PR me and choppie here uh I’m already tired I already know I’m gonna have to watch [ __ ] grainy video feeds from Birmingham and [ __ ] like that to watch these and I’m also this is going to be a season where if the White
Sox win the series you’re not going to talk about how good the White Sox played you’re G to talk about how shitty the other team played because the White Soxs are dog [ __ ] it’s like oh the white sock just took three out of four from the Yankees
What’s wrong with the Yankees It’s Like No One’s Gonna talk about how good the white socks are you know what else is frustrating about the offseason additions like too and I get they’re trying to improve the defense there’s an article we I posted Sports mockery this
Morning look at the slash lines of every guy they have acquired good plug there brutal you will not find one besides two guys that they added to minor league deals that have played less than like 25 games in the show you will not find one over 250 is a overall batting average I
Think the overall Ops was like five something from like all their combined signing it like I don’t know where the hell the offense is going to come from because they they were 29th in runs scored last year and they like I think we can all agree there’s going to be
Significantly worse this year so that’ll be interesting to see how many runs they score um unders baby baby zo’s going to college on white sock UND but the pitching staff is gonna suck so they’re gonna give up a lot of runs it’s kind of like a double
EDG team totals team totals ah okay team total I’ve dabbled in gambling team total unders all day for the white sock they’re no they’re gonna adjust quickly though so they’re UND after the first week of April white sock te totals are going to be like at two and a half one
One.5 yeah that’s what I think it’ll be yeah two and a half that I’ll still bet the under dude they four hitters Andrew Ben Andy all right I’ll be back in a little bit I got a show to do give me 10 minutes go get him tiger annunciate use your inflections actuallyy
Still oh actually let’s let’s go through it I mean we have nothing else no we have not about what’s what’s the what’s uh what’s the starting lineup look J J well we don’t know who’s playing right field yet let’s just say let’s just PL him in let’s just Brett Phillips he
Earned it he got that job in spring training it’s him versus [ __ ] what up douy it’s him versus hey don’t forget about Oscar Oscar foret they already said dude they’re like this guy needs more time at triple don’t do it oh he did it he ate another [ __ ] cute
Um be great you so I’ll let you no you pick your right fielder you pick your right fielder well you know I’m gonna I’m gonna let Oscar lose his job okay he’s he’s working out with Luis Robert we’re seeing the Instagram stories all right um still really doesn’t matter so
You got Ben tenan left lubab in Center we’ll say cus and right Yan at third Paul dong at Short uh who’s your second B we’ll go Romy just because Miss’s here romy’s at second uh V Mighty Mouse at first team leader look Club out man clubh house leader here we got stry
Versus Maldonado catch it it’s probably gonna be malado and then Eloy Dent who the [ __ ] is a leadoff guy out of those players Ben he had I hope to God they don’t put Luis Robert back at lead off look I mean that’s Elementary School splits if you
Look at Luis Robert he does not bat well in the leadoff and do not do square peg round hole thing again oh boy those Edibles are really hidden um this is actually really funny appropriation after the show Kevin’s going to be broadcasting to that window behind him no no I’m over here you’re
Talking to the plant so okay you got we’ll go we’ll go Ben NY lean off he did an okay job towards the end of the year with that um then what he put l Robert J yeah you gotta bet Robert to Eloy 3 power hitter Eloy 3 then Von for Von for
Yeah Yan mat five yam monata five dong six uh Cola seven second basement eight Romy eight we’re gonna put second basement there just andat catch your nine all right if that doesn’t send [ __ ] shivers down your spine opposing pictures I don’t know what will catch the [ __ ] fever baby
The NL Central or aentr don’t even get me started on that actually let’s get to it rot you know what I’ll you guys still have Dillan all those just likes clubbing me while I’m in the fetal position we’re the Cubs right now and guess it doesn’t
Get a lot better this is like Ian zeran getting beat up on Hollywood Boulevard the other day just when do the socks announce they resign ta to play second pace and lead off for no reason it’s gonna be hard to get him back from Japan Bud we’ve already earlier in the show
Douy we we’ve come to the realization that ta is going to play in Japan for a year um hey I’ll say I would not rule out the White Sox reciting to me no not at all I not at all dude especially if he I mean he
Doesn’t have a market at all right now and they’re like ta come on couple million you love Chicago some fans still love you come come reset your your value at second base uh uh so you got Dylan se’s yeah uh Fett’s your two no way we’ll put me who’s your two
Kopc yeah all right Copic are too yeah Elvis is in the house I just watched that movie today um Priscilla or Elvis Elvis Tom Han Toma the the dude from uh um what’s it called uh what’s the HBO show um Euphoria he plays Elvis in that Priscilla film way about the bummer
Trade oh yeah Mike soraa number two that bummer trade they brought it up on the 108 show with P that bummer trade was [ __ ] weird dude it’s just a weird trade even long after the fact now one of those guys from Atlanta got a hit right you would
Hope cuz you know like like they said I think we we mostly said it Aaron buber is going to be good again in Atlanta so the white the white socks just have to have somebody who okay well Brett Brett’s on reserve for when Brett’s probably gonna pitch 40 Innings
This year because he loves the pitch when they’re getting their [ __ ] kicked in he’s gonna be like tied for like fifth in reliever appearances oh beef now that I know you’re watching this would be a good over under for your show when you guys do your over under show
Over under Brett Phillips Innings this year total pitch I’m not kidding I wish I was kidding I’m not [ __ ] kidding uh I’m look up how many does he have in his career see what was I gonna say all right so you got CE who’s not Rosario’s still out
There for a two bagger by the way uh another guy whoa then Copic and then FY [ __ ] and then pick a minor league a 683 ops isn’t bad from the two bagger spot I don’t think right no yeah I mean it’s not terrible all right here we go Brett Phillips
Has uh he only has five in a third Innings pitched he was limited in 2023 he only pitched a third of an inning with the angels uh his career best season uh workload rise 2022 four Innings with the rise and then one inning in 2021 yeah he does it he goes
Out there and he LS his ass off the whole [ __ ] time and throws meatballs and then like if he gets a swing in the Miss he does the big like face like where he like tries to laugh but nothing comes out there there’s gonna be a lot of uh there’s
Gonna be a lot of tweets from that uh what is it like sus suspus uh Backyard Barbecue of uh you know position player pitching and you know socks down to do we still got a s us on the squad somewhere he still lingering what happened to
Him H what did happen he got hurt on his Ranch stepping on a hole or something with the Mets I think he just he that was it never finished out with the Mets no we have the little cousin oh oh yeah oh yeah um or the half brother whatever the
[ __ ] he is yueli yeah I don’t know what did happen to him I remember the last last time we talked about him we compared a swing to Sami sza did it go up or down since that comparison I keep for getting the kids like 5’8 yeah
Tank yeah speaking of T oh we were talking about uh remember Diane viso or viso or whatever his name left that that Hawk always tanks I really thought that kid was going to be [ __ ] good I think there was like one of those like uh Twitter like retweet this with the prospect you
Thought was going to be great and never panned out I had two it was tanks and uh remember uh what the [ __ ] was his name third baseman Josh uh Josh Fields Fields yeah because I called Justin Fields Josh fields for a long time because I kept [ __ ] it up
Because I thought Josh Fields was gonna be that guy holy thought he was dude he was not that guy I thought he was it man I thought that was like a Cornerstone play build around him future franchise guy do do you guys want a UI suspus update sure all right yui started 2023
At daa he played 110 games uh I got an ad I exited out all right here we go he slashed 214 315 326 so it’s a 641 Ops not good uh he did have nine home runs uh but then he did get he did get promoted Triple A he end
Of the season 11 games uh 362 batting average uh no walk 362 there you go he went uh let’s see how many hits here he went 17 for 47 with a home run six doubles all right but something positive end of the season he’s an outfielder right yep maybe that’s your future right
Fielder maybe maybe that’s your start right fielder if he starts in right field you 108 boys better treat him nice he is um he is 26 Jesus [ __ ] um he’s been in the sock system he’s been in the sock System since 2021 he’s 2021 a couple years familiar
With the organiz he’s been developed by that power and you you were right so he is the half brother of yis suspus yeah half brother I know everyone right away was like oh he’s his brother but that’s not and this dude had thick ass eyebrows friend’s former roommate yeah he’s got serious
Caterpillars going on above his eyes like Anthony Davis style or like or there’s two of them they’re not connected they’re they’re separate but I mean we’ve got bush like like Eugene ly Eugene Ley sty yes yes yes oh there we go okay a little bit more like
Um um Andy Rooney okay I got it yeah like the Cuban version of Andy Roy yes zo do you want to keep going you want to do a bpen sure why not all right uh Tim Tim Hill for five innings a night Ace relever he’s going to be your Brian Shaw
He’s just gonna be every game you know what I need more than air I need the camera to catch Tim Hill flicking a cigarette before he runs onto the field you know like he doesn’t think he’s on the camera and he like takes that one
Last like the last hit yeah it and then just runs on the field and just strikes out the side I’ll lose my [ __ ] if that happens holy [ __ ] that’d be amazing uh who yeah what we got we got who’s the [ __ ] closer on the Jesus [ __ ]
Santos for now I have a weird feeling he’s gonna be included in the Seas trade okay to sweeten that pot a little bit like I still go back to beef trade for Randy rosarina that that that was CE Santos the Rays hey the raay you left to sell guys
Their highest I still think it’s a good idea I still think it’s a good idea Tim Hill puts his thing out on Santos while he takes a nap [ __ ] hell oh that’s all you need for your Bullpen right there L there’s the face of the white sock Bullpen this
Year all right Kevin your turn Cubs line up who you got all right all right well me I mean look at this uh by the way remember right now we’re dealing with no Cody Bellinger I don’t think we have a first baseman we don’t really have a a third
Bas so we’re gonna rock and 20 catchers there’s the oh [ __ ] what is that those are the eyebrows of Mickey Rooney Andy Rooney not Mickey Rooney totally different actor was that Dr Seuss the Oh The Lorax yeah Andy is the father of let’s see all right so let’s see here
Cubs roster currently right so we got to get the active roster going I actually got to pull this up here so I’m I’m going to obviously start with um we got to have I guess if we don’t have Cody we gotta go with Summer of Talman right um
Leading off I want to ask you actually this is a good conversation I gotta see it visually this is a good conversation starter PCA is the automatic start at Triple A or if he [ __ ] raes in Spring you can’t send him you play you go you have
To Cubs fans will get the the pitchforks out and the tiki torches and [ __ ] play in spring training he’s got to be up zo you would be surprised how many Cubs fans have already turned their backs on Pete Crow arm you know what although I am very surprised because I keep seeing
These Cubs fans throwing out these hypothetical trades and [ __ ] and they all start with PCA with even trading appearances they’re like this guy stinks it is amazing to me I was actually thinking about that the other day cuz especially like even when Cubs fans are putting together like fake Seas trades which
Guys stop [ __ ] doing that although I’m looking at you uh Bruce Levine he keeps bringing up the Cubs Bruce I don’t pick on the elderly uh every trade that I see Cubs fans making starts with well PCA and then it’s like why are you guys so quick to get rid of this kid
Insane I would take PCA in a heartbeat not for CE but I’d take him for a heart in a heartbeat insane um I agreee with you Kevin if he looks ready I think you got his defense alone I think is available you just bury him in the lineup at him ninth it’s okay
All right so let’s just say one of those hit can he not hit PCA right now I mean he he’s only had I think he had like five weeks at Triple A so like he’s 21 he looked bad he looked overmatched but that’s the thing he barely played so he
Started like three games David Ross was like he went like 0 for four one game was like I can’t start you again well and like what the [ __ ] are you doing that kid he started him like last from an outsider looking in that kid’s [ __ ] good he’s fast as [ __ ] he’s a little
Kind of almost a little too cocky for me but oh no he’s he’s definitely a [ __ ] he’s kind of a prick he’s a kind of a prick yeah like I’m a field wise yeah but he’s again can’t teach speed kids and he obviously hits somewhere Ong the
Line to keep moving up for me that’s that’s the biggest thing for me as a team who has been so defensive oriented like that’s the direction that they’ve taken you know signing Swanson moving Horner over last year getting Bellinger um pca’s defense alone that’s starter material legit and his base running and
The base run like even that it’s like it’s he’s still cuz he at times he did look a little over aggressive maybe was doing trying to do too much I think that was a rookie playoff Ray trying to do so you reel him in but you also let him play you have to
Can’t teach speed cannot teach speed kids just on the bench If he if he if he earns it in Spring he’s gota he’s Gotta Go I mean I do have my I mean God I have a 73 win Cubs lineup right here all right we got
Well left field we got Happ write down I have I have to see it I have to see it visually I can’t I I’m weird I have to see these things and so I first off I I would say unless Pete Crow Armstrong earns the job like if P Armstrong earns
The job in spring training goes out there hits three20 hits a bunch of gappers steals a bunch of bases plays Incredible defense shows that he can actually adjust to the baseball swings and puts B bad on baseball doesn’t look overmatched especially swinging and missing a ton you did not write all that
Out no I I I’m saying I’m gonna write that’s old mood right here um he’s seeing the words in front of him right now so don’t tell the Pink Elephant next to you to shut up excuse me uh Mr John guden bobblehead um but the I why I still have
That here but I don’t know anyway um so I got tman leading off then in Center I got Nico at second hitting two I got Swanson at Short bat in third seya hitting fourth in right field Ian haen left bat in fifth Morel dhing batting sixth Gomes uh catching batting seventh
And I’m assuming Matt mvis at first base batting eighth and then Mastro booty uh playing third uh in the second lead off uh in the were your boy Madrigal I actually if you look I actually crossed his name off I did right but that was just a that’s just
Hieroglyphics really is it’s too bright hold on nope Kevin I think he just so cancer on that see you kind of see the cross out but at the bottom of the N anyway question you can also see the time in which the edible hit if you really look closely question
3549 what happened to Pete Alonzo becoming a cub the the free agent Market no one’s doing anything every everyone’s just waiting each other out for everything why that’s the same reason Dylan C hasn’t been traded yet nobody wants to the Mets the Mets were in on Yamamoto and they’re like all
Right if we get Yamamoto maybe we can compete in 2024 because we can pair him up with Cod I senga we have a strong onew there we keep Pete Alonzo but then they didn’t get Yamamoto so now it’s like all right let’s wait out until the teams miss out on Bellinger and Chapman
And then maybe we can we can get something big for Alonzo can’t read my gu I don’t know because again he’s not GNA sign an extension this not right here by the way was a reminder a couple weeks ago to plug Missy show just so we can some loyal some friend some
Friendship glad you finish that sentence soundproof next time there is one I’ll plug it oh oh hey hold on I feel like she had to work tonight and that’s why she there was no pre game anyway well you guys still her co-host was to eat Ed last yeah oh that oh it’s
Definitely kicking in it’s someone that’s sat here and talked with fids on screen every day for five years I can pick that out pretty soon how’ that go Mitch pretty solid pretty solid joural oh yeah it was not a very fun story it’s about this guy that murdered his girlfriend on Christmas so
You know story tonight Mitch you just suspect Tim Hill Miss next time in Chicago I’ll let you know I’ll happily get drunk on your show whoa hey weird hey hey this is so we were doing we were doing a oh chimy doings rotation Cubs rotation well hold
On now that Mitch is back here I want to hear Mitch Mitch’s white sock starting lineup yeah Mitch give it give us your starting line you could put anyone you want in right field or at second base I recomend writing it down all right let’s see
Visual too or do you figure out your batting order I think that was the way I did it is I went around the diamond and said who’s playing what position and made it easier for me to put it in an order yes so just go around
The diamond first just do uh I go I I think I could left field benintendi he’ll be leading off just because we don’t have any better options Roberts Center obviously he’s batting second I want my best hitter getting a lot of that bats third batting third Jesus get gets
Weird it gets weird after that I want to say Eloy but I’ll probably have him DH so he’ll be fourth he’ll be B fourth third oh [ __ ] who’s yeah line putting a [ __ ] there little person no no no we’ll go Andrew vaugh he’ll bat third we got him
At first base uh second base I’m going Nikki Lopez uh I would prefer him to be utility player butas Nicki’s Nick’s my guy at second you have R so so actually I should we’ll back this up why don’t you start all over again start your lineup over again
First base or left field Ben and tendi he’s batting first batting second Luis Robert he’s in Center bat in third Andrew vaugh he’s at first base batting fourth Eloy he’s cleaning up uh bat in fifth we got Manata actually do I put Manata at lead off I might switch that I the Box
Thinking now we’ll go monata fifth we’ll keep him we’ll keep him at third yeah Matata fifth B in third six we have D young he’s at Short uh seventh Nikki Lopez yeah N I think I want him at Ninth he’s rounding out the bottom of my line D dong dude D dong
Yeah well yeah D dong yeah he’ll bet uh he said him sixth yeah he’s batting sixth I miss right now you’re missing your catcher andado is gonna bat eight right field yeah so [ __ ] then we’re gonna have to all right right field it’s that’s is because they all they they all
Stink at hitting so um we’ll go uh it really doesn’t matter that guy that they just added from the ray we’ll have him and rightfield Phillips there you go I put in there no I don’t trust if the fact that they haven’t called him back he had no plate discipline last year and
Like they still they were hyping him up all off season as like he’s gonna be the guy like it has to be really bad if you’re like all of a sudden yeah now he’s going to start the season Triple A so we’ll uh we’ll have Phillips is my
Starting right Fielder he’ll bat seventh and then we got my starting Catcher And then I got um rounding out the bottom of the order Nikki Lopez at second base all hold on we got a interchangeable we got a we got a super chat here from our guy Nathan
Nathan we always appreciate you bud Mitch given the all the offseason moves and your analysis of GS who do you like in the Daytona 500 I like how that curveball in there right there well worded a brand new car they typically work well on super Speedways so I’m
Going Brad kazlowski he’s due for a win he’s good at Super was that D in Monsters no that’s Mike Kowski but close yeah that was close fellow fellow ski I’m going Brad kazlowski to win uh my bet for the Daytona 500 though is gonna be like Ford as a manufacturer to win
But I’d put your money in on a for Mitch starts talking about NASCAR we all just start putting pictures I’m giving you winning bets here you know you’re blowing off the missou bet I I gave you the other day I told you they’re gonna be to Ohio State yep I missed G free
Money well speaking of our lineups were somewhat similar I put uh Eloy at three Fawn at four M five this seems going to be so bad it’s gonna be so so bad so bad I think that’s I think that’s the like normally like if you have a bad team
Like maybe you have a couple and like you guys still have Lis Robert Jr it’s like all right maybe these guys you know they’ll hit home runs but like they’ll lose because like the pitching sucks but like just having a team who can’t hit like teams all teams have to do is just
Pitch around Lis Robert Jr and that’s it that’s the other thing I saw someone tweeted out I forgot who it was and I apologize for not giving appropriate credit but someone was like Luis Robert with no protection is going to probably have a down year and I can’t wait for
White Sox fans to demand they trade him I mean to be fair he didn’t have a whole lot of protection last year either so it’s true it’s all right when Yan Manata has a career year and they move him up to third in the lineup I think you’re right there is
There’s enough evidence that suggests he’s gonna have a big year I just don’t trust the injuries and then the White Sox pick up his options oh God that’s totally going to happen the White Sox are going to pick up his option and then he’s just going
To go right back to I got paid mode well that’s that’s why he needs to have like the three best months of his career and then you trade his ass like July 21st why that works for me uh what do you guys got Washington Michigan I got
Michigan I don’t know I was told Michigan’s gonna get their asses kicked by [Applause] oh bet they have to do that Alabama was there but he’s dry January I respect the dry January but hey here’s the thing too though was that really first off we missed a roughing the kicker that was
Blatant on Fourth and what won we also missed I didn’t get to see the replay because of course the didn’t show it how about that interception on the first play of the game that they overturned was he in bounds out of bounds I can’t tell they he got forced out and then he
Came back in but he didn’t establish that he was like back in play beforehand so like he CAU they didn’t explain that to the crowd we were like what the [ __ ] just happened that he definitely caught it in bounds but he was forced out before the interception caught I got to
Tell you I was surprised at how poorly played that game was considering how well those two teams are coached it was a beautiful mess I loved it but game I I I just I can’t believe they ran that play on uh fourth down at the goal line but that was incredible experience
I gotta tell you that was uh right there uh Crystal Lake South grad uh Trevor ke or Tor Trevor Jenkins threw me his wristband which was kind of cool and oh Michigan looks good I feel like Washington got that far because their quarterback has so much time to throw
And he won’t have that for is Michigan he does have a cannon you know what was interesting Nick Savin was talking about this he said and like a lot of teams you’ll see in college do this like they do the hurry up and then they’re in formation they got to look over the
Sideline because the people are like holding up the cards and like jumping up and down or whatever so it gives the defense time to adjust to the formation they’re in where Michigan they like it was the first time Alabama had seen it they were in the Huddle the whole time
So as soon as they broke the there’s less time for Alabama to like adjust the formation which he said gave him a lot of problems early on which I thought that was pretty interesting because it’s like a simple thing you don’t think U Mitch you gotta you have to start a tab
For Missy apparently but uh she’s on the tab for a $3 Super Chat for your only fans and keep track of these things I don’t know what this means it just says catcher catcher Cubs Cubs have been signings have a lot of catchers Cubs have lots of catchers it was either that
Or when you guys were going through your lineups maybe saying you forgot the catcher Ryan Pace with 47 tight ends um catch followup question do you got are you oh it’s like obviously having think Michigan is the looks like the PowerHouse team here do you guys want
Michigan to win no I do but probably bet on him so then I’ll be rooting for him but like no right the misso is a big Michigan fan and ah we probably have people over for the game and it’s just more fun when the team that majority of
The people are rooting for is winning so and I’ll bet on them they were their defense is extremely impressive like that defense is I want a good better than I thought hypothetically speaking if like I mean right now it doesn’t look like it is going to be an option but let’s just
Say it is do you guys want Harbaugh as the Bears coach if he was an option absolutely absolutely everywhere he goes small school Stanford goes to the pros crushes it back Michigan crushes it absolutely I’d say yeah just because I think he knows how to coach a mobile
Quarterback I mean he took a Colin Kaepernick L 49ers team to the Super Bowl own the Packers owned the Packers mind you owned the Packers which is a very important part of a Bears coach job I think one of the most uh when his name was first being tied to the Bears a
Month ago or so I think the most the most disingenuous uh like argument against him was like oh well Chicago already did this with a coach who’s been out of the league for a decade how did it work out for them when the white socks uh got larusa and I’m like
Completely apples to oranges here yeah this guy was still coaching guys like come on this is my biggest I think you’re three for three in weeks wearing that hat and people complimenting your hat in the comments nice it’s a great hat great gift from it is a great hat it
Is a great hat got a got a matching Jersey too oh really very nice that one’s black it’s black though but yeah racist with by the way Kevin Warren Bears president guess what his previous job was commissioner of the Big 10 conference where he had major major issues with Jim Harbaugh that
Also has to be some sort of concern if that were like bringing back flu so it’s a mute point anyway yeah no that’s why that’s why I said Hy because it doesn’t seem and I also jock Ricky Ria hey may maybe ever maybe FL is uh the new Ricky Ria for the you
Gotta think if Harbaugh wins The Natty in Michigan they’re gonna back up the Brinks truck well he just hired an NFL agent yeah he hired I think he was new agent Tom Brady’s agent I think he’s gonna go to the Chargers I think he’s going to the Raiders I think Bill bich
Goes to the Chargers oh that’d be another name I’d love to have that’s like I another hypothetical just because think they just tried the defensive head coach thing you got Justin Herbert I think they’d rather go for Harbaugh I think that’s who they would pay the
Money to I can see I can see Vegas going for for um bich well that’s the thing people don’t people forget I love it when people start that sentences with that people forget that Harbaugh actually worked for the Raiders yep at the beginning of his career as a was a
Quarterback’s coach or something like that so it would be him going full circle to go back to the Raiders would you rather have Harbaugh or bellich Harbaugh Harbaugh Harbaugh uh Harbaugh goes to the Raiders Raiders draft JJ McCarthy see trying to PA that at the times oh my God he’s too little you
Little guy it ain’t gonna work in the Pro fun fact dad I saw the other day for some of the people that are poo pooing on Justin field only two quarterbacks in the history of the NFL have won a Super Bowl while whilst on the their rookie contract a
Ben rothberger and Tom Tom nay it wasn’t rossberger Tom Tom Super Bowl in his first year as a rookie yeah I don’t know if that yeah what the dude from Yahoo tweeted out yah’s wrong Tom was a rookie Tom wasn’t he Tom Tom Brady’s first Super Bowl was what
Year yeah he would have had to been on his rookie deal too he was a backup to Drew bledo and Drew bledo got hurt and then he went onto the Super Bowl like he was literally 2001 Tom Brady Tom Brady drafted so they won it in 2002 which was
The 2001 season Brady was drafted in Yahoo guy defend yourself maybe met as a rookie or as a drafted in 20 he was drafted in 2000 he literally was his second league year in the league well that doesn’t make any sense and then he won it the next year didn’t
He no he didn’t no he didn’t go back to back did he the B hold on let me see Tom no 0204 so he was drafted in 2000 so and he won it in 04 that means’ 04 was also still his rookie contract yeah no Ben yeah Ben rothberger was drafted
04 next year I was like me when I the other day I thought I was I thought I was uh sharing an on this day with L the Packers in the NFC title game but it was actually 2014 because you don’t were they both starters I don’t know I’m
Trying to help this guy out were they like the did they start season St in 04 he was the starter in 04 and he was not the starter opening day in ‘ 02 but that when BR or when blo T Hur yeah yeah this guy’s [ __ ] up stepping in my office
You’re [ __ ] fired Super Bowl wins still not a lot of players though rookie contract Boris definitely Boris Eli Manning 07 since the start of the salary cap in 94 six quarterbacks have won the Super Bowl playing on the rookie contract Tom Big Ben Eli Manning Russell Wilson Carson Wentz and
Patrick Mahomes oh see Carson Wentz doesn’t count though because he didn’t he Patrick Mahomes in 19 he was literally his he had Russ Wilson and Pat Mahomes so I’m trying to find I’m looking at Carson wenton 2017 was in his rookie contract no no I’m saying yes but he doesn’t count he
Didn’t it was Nick Foles who won okay Eli Manning for the Giants in 2007 yeah that one oh no I’m agreeing with you Kevin I’m just saying no no you guys are right no you guys 100% figure guys he had on there he had Mahomes Russ Russ Wilson and
Mahomes all right well nonwhite quarterbacks we go the Z bet fi big big big dick Nick won that Super Bowl not W so got him in that position W doesn’t count but yeah him the Brady Brady Eli Big Ben all these guys count this guy [ __ ] sucks
Block him you gotta block him though got to get that off by the way I m I mute mute mute muting is way more funny than blocking oh have you get did you get I think I I mean I missed out uh I don’t know because I think it happened around
New Year’s and I was it really on uh Twitter you guys see that uh that Shai Sports account which one it’s it just disappear the shy sports updates yeah he’s gone John Greenberg kid yeah the Daniel why Daniel Greenberg Daniel Greenberg why’d he leave I what happened I the the last thing I
Remember is he went to a Bulls game the Bulls lost and then he tweeted out how the Bulls crowd let the team down because they weren’t making a lot of noise oh I did see that and then he just get kept getting piled on and he’s getting getting he’s been like piled on
For years because you know he’s he’s an aggregator he’ll out everyone’s like hey why don’t you never actually link to the stories on your first tweet uh and then uh today I looked up or I was like I was wondering I’m like what what happened to
This guy I haven’t seen his tweets for a week yeah nothing tweet does not or account does not exist anymore yeah Danny Parkins torched him oh 108 F of his show there you go I’m not gonna St in my pie on Danny Parkins but yeah I mean it happened Red Sox Fielding trade
Interest in matasaka Yoshida and K you can be your a right field hey we’re shopping for Bullpen arms too you know we added Kenley jansson and Yoshida oh there you go cease for Yoshida and Kenley Janson there we go I like it did you guys see dude I forget
Somebody brought it up for the Cubs I’m like I was looking at his numbers like all right let’s see I know he had a hot start zo that was your uh Al Rookie of the Year pick and you look great for a lot for through the summer was really bad the last two
Months yeah he was not good teams adjusted fell off hard can’t believe a guy I don’t think I would trade you guys gonna trade for oh you guys should trade for Trevor story oh somebody said that I think they said it on the 108 show on the 108 yeah yeah
Trevor no it was uh Manata for Trevor story would you guys do that I wouldn’t hate it I’ve always been a Trevor story guy yeah I like Trevor he hits homers we could use that he can easily be a here’s my question so with given the current roster who leads the team in
Home runs how many do they hit don’t pick Lis Robert you can’t pick who’s second who’s secondy hanging FR little hanging fruit aloy aloyo yeah Boston is shutting payroll though so but why what are they going after Cody dude the Red Sox are kind of like the
The Cubs and Red Sox are like kind of they they like they’re big Market teams but they don’t want to spend a lot of money I have no idea what why like they have to justify any move they make be like ah well we gota we got
To lower the payroll uh you know you know how it is guys I don’t know I probably would do a monata TR story straight up just so I wouldn’t have to hear the Mona [ __ ] argument for the billionth and one time on Twitter monata goes back home wins MVP I
Mean we still got uh Copic monata Red Sox don’t have Chris Sale they have ring though they have a ring oh that pesky thing that little guy I don’t worry about that little guy that’s I mean just look how much money Atlanta spent on Chris Sale
Ohon when was the last full season Chris S played think that and I’m I know that Atlanta could do it because they did a master class signing their young players to long-term Team friendly they fled out stole from Azie alz yes Azie Ela is currently the Scotty pip in a Major
League Baseball yeah he got I mean I don’t know what the hell they got on him but [ __ ] by the way Trevor story I don’t think you want him no he’s bad no very bad holy [ __ ] dude very very only that his contract he still has like four more years like a hundred
Million I don’t even think they would have to give up onata to get him I think Red Sox would like take the payroll yeah put a on him they should give you prospects to take the payroll like you should give them a you know who you trade for them you trade this
Guy where is he wait for where’s my guy where’s my guy there he is this guy comes really cheap did you delete him no there he is him cash considerations and then some prospects in return along with so it looks like after he signed he just couldn’t stay healthy which was kind of
The he only played 94 games in 2022 4 oh Red Sox fans hate them Red Sox I’ve seen it all over the place on baseball had had a 48 WRC plus last year not good as your big free agent maybe maybe that’s why the Red Sox don’t
Want to spend it yeah they got Jason Hayward can sit this one out this year oh man yeah I didn’t I didn’t I didn’t realize he was that bad holy [ __ ] seven years for 35 million should put Al’s agent in jail it’s bad yeah no that deal is [ __ ] I’m not like joking
That is like the Scotty Pippen contract where where Jerry rinor was like don’t sign this contract still did but yeah that’s that’d be that’s like if the socks did that with Lis Robert Jr it’s it’s pretty comparable like I know but like that deal was and at the time it was probably
Considered excessive no no everyone at the time knew it was a [ __ ] robber as soon as that came out it was a big like everybody was like wait what the [ __ ] what do you mean he’s only making $5 million a year he’s already in Allstar second basem who got locked up
Before like when they were like like because again some of those International contracts I know that Eloy had a contract that was pretty Team friendly for a bit too but Robert yeah was it Luis Robert maybe that has that like that contract where you’re like
Holy not market value but it was at the time was like oh you’re paying this guy a lot he hasn’t done anything yet but yeah because I think L Rober Jr he still hadn’t uh he still hadn’t debuted and he he got it’s a a very friendly contract
For the white socks but the international signing period’s coming up soon and apparently the White Sox got some kid that’s a pretty big power hitter but we’ll probably hear his for two weeks and then never hear him from him again guy the Cubs are on right now
Fernando Cruz is that his name Fernando Cruz Jr great name just name alone he’s gonna that is that is a solid that is a baseball Superstar name he’s the Third on that what was your do this janary for the white socks perrera I remember got him
Rank yeah no the white sock get like a top 10 five tool power hitting this kid’s gonna be a stud and then you literally never hear his name again well I’ll say this at least they’re a little younger this time yeah that’s true it’s not like a 24y old
Old I am 13 yeah they’re not going after those guys [ __ ] dude when you Jesus Christ when you said [ __ ] sesus is age it’s just like what are we doing what what there you guys had that other picture or like he was a two-way player Jorge Vera wasn’t he like another like tubing
Guy who was like 23 when you guys signed him so they told him to stop playing the field he’s going to be a pitcher he pitched good for like a month and then he went back into the cornfield no one’s heard from him since he’s just faded
Away it’s brutal dude Norge Vera nor oh he’s only he’s still 23 he’s still young he’s young look at his stats all though he’s developing let’s see last year all right little 660 er uh well he only made it to advance a ball all right yeah all right yeah yeah at least it’s
Advanced a ball got yes God yes God heard Mitch’s voice sorry I have to actually put in a little work here so I’m multi you know when I turn off my say I need to put in a little work I know what you’re doing shut the hell
Up a little I would I would turn the mic off too if that that was like a Naked Gun little word crank um hey it’s like Wolf of Wall Street sometimes you need to do it to clear the head matth Little Dutch Runner get the baby batter off the brain all
Right here we go let’s uh Circle back imaga who where do you guys think an adult man whoa what was sorry I’m testing the a that this is from I just no you’re just watching something about an adult man no I’m no I’m not I’m testing an audio
Thing hold up all right Mitch this is a judge this is a judgment judgment free zone dude hey you know what’s the story what’s the story with this dude Al though he’s the top remaining Japanese free agent CH he’s a 30 years old Lefty you guys saw him in the World Baseball Classic
Um according to everyone’s former favorite uh GM Jim Bowden the athletic the Red Sox Cubs angels and Giants are the finalist for him uh there’s been stories that he’s been looking for a contract of $100 million and then I think it was Joel Sherman sh Sherman in the New York Post
Wrote last night or Friday morning about how there’s been push back on that thought now that that that price is going to go down a bit that he’s not going to get 100 million so I think that you know negotiating and he is a guy who does have the the deadline uh January
11th is when he has to get a deal done by which I think they again should Implement Major League Baseball but oh he buddy this I mean I can explain what I was Doing the best a Naked Gun sorry I can think of when you were going on the air with your hot M left your Sennheiser on if you play baseball and you had a choice of where you go on free agency why the [ __ ] would you pick Anaheim right now
Money War weather they offer you the most money I mean even if it was like within a five million range I’m not picking Anaheim I honestly think that’s what that’s what happening right now cuz like the him saying like the story came out you know weeks ago after uh Yamamoto
Signed it’s like all right I’m the I’m the other guy from Japan coming over I’m gonna get1 million the other guy from Japan I’m the other guy sign me uper entering the off that was awesome entering the off seon the comparison was like kodai s who the Mets signed last
Year he got five years 75 million everyone thought it was going to be around that range maybe a little less because I think people think SAA is better but obviously with the with the huge deals that the Dodgers did this guy is like hey I’m pay me pay me
Too uh but I think teams are like um the same thing with kind of like with Cody Bellinger maybe that’s happened it’s like um we don’t we don’t think you’re worth that much buddy uh oh Lights Out Here Comes the leprechaun again but I mean I think the Giants are
Real contenders cuz I mean they they did the Robbie Ray deal but he again he’s not going to be pitching until the summer at the earliest uh so they still need another pitcher I the leprechaun like you said so I don’t know why anyone besides money and it but it
Would have to be like a lot more money than the other teams would want to sign with the angels that’s just a [ __ ] show of an organization that little guy I’m the lepra scar I’m the lepra exactly sorry and then you have the Cubs in the
Red no I he he in my opinion he should sign with the Cubs that’s just me if he went to the Cubs was he number two number three who does number two work for probably number two number three yeah number three that oh the other the other
Uh argument or debate I guess going on is If he if he does get away to get the 100 million wouldn’t you just want your team to spend more on Montgomery or Blake snow yes and I kind of agree on that side too I would rather I think at this point if
The Cubs are going to spend that money on a pitcher I think I’d want it on the guys who have proven it MLB right and I mean [ __ ] we interest you in a Dyan Seas Snell is literally prohibited me from doing Dylan se’s Cubs trades Mitch I’m sorry
Yes we can start with Nick magal as your starting second God damn [Laughter] stop one hour and 36 minutes and 54 seconds before Aldo floated the idea of trading you throw in a PCA and Kade Horton will’ll gladly take Nikki two strikes off your hands I am nervous I
Guess just fired back with like a scud that was just like a spray scud because that was just like hurtful even I’m very nerv nous that Blakes now goes to the Yankees because if they make him shave that weird like I co goatee I don’t think he has a
Chin just go bottom lip to neck why do you think Hill has never played for the Yankees I mean it’s choice but seriously like look at Blake now like I don’t think he has a chin and if he goes to Yankees we’re all gonna be exposed to
That and you can’t unsee that can’t unse that either but yeah I me if he goes to the Yankees I feel like that’s a very successful offseason for the Yankees I mean Juan stto Blake’s not well you’re basically just taking the good players off the Padres yeah yeah it it is crazy
To think though that how the Yankees are the big bad Yankees you know we’ll outspend everyone and then they’re like more the Dodgers are the Dodgers are the D by way I want to be Dar billion dollars in a month Dodgers with what happened with Yamamoto I wonder I wonder
If that happens with Bellinger because what Yamamoto did was he got to 325 from the Mets and then he went to the Dodgers was like Hey Dodgers match it and then he didn’t go back to the Mets he’s like f i got what I wanted from the do do it
This is coming from Frank from Facebook White Sucks have not signed a few more guys they’ve tinkered around the edges of the 40-man roster on an actual team that will probably lose 100 games nobody they signed would likely be likely to break camp on an actual MLB team well
He’s not wrong Frank not wrong at all there’s nothing I just when I see paragraphs I like to do dramatic readings but you’re not wrong not Frank but but also I hate to break it to you as much as they’re gonna suck the white socks are an MLB team and
Some of those guys are going to be on the team uh if you’ve been paying close attention to like the bread field or bread Fields bread Phillips deal and all that um a lot of it the money is tied to if they make the major league team if
They break camp with the major league team so yeah yeah and here’s like the other let’s be honest we’ve seen Gavin sheets in right field so chances are he’s with white Side Y EAS few those guys again no one saying we’re still we’re still waiting on confirmation that they’re actually team this
Year a lot of air quotes going ony it’s just what it is you can always count on the A’s though to be worse can you though I don’t know did you see that that uh meme I sent you where it just says the a should sign ta [ __ ] what’s
The idiot that pitched in uh Japan ta bow uh Telles and uh Madison bum Garner and just have one hell of a last season just throw [ __ ] match on a thing of kerosene why I hate to see guys can we get serious for a moment here I really hate
To see the bum fights I hate to see the cousins fighting oh no it breaks my heart who’s fighting breaks my heart look at look at the comment section I know you’re on your mobile device but they fighting when he said hi Johnny Johnny just said no
Oh if you guys haven’t listened or watched the Monday episode this previous episode of the bumcast Johnny gets on one it’s [ __ ] awesome I gotta catch up now watch it’s my turn to talk yeah a boy don’t take any [ __ ] by the way I was thinking about

Right there you go the Valley of the ashes we’ve got our match that’s a that’s a deep cut I guess a very deep literature cut it’s a compliment really I like that one better it Johnny he does no no no you’re right here because Johnny doesn’t really you
Know he sits back and he listens to the other guys you know ramble and ramble and ramble ramble and then when he wants to talk he it’s my turn to talk that’s that Mitch you Mitch and Johnny and you actually Johnny’s usually in that bottom left corner too for
Theirs so that’s I could see that that I think that’s an accurate depiction that’s right you need a mitch it’s a glue guy gotta have a mitch gotta have a mitch blue guy you know he’s no star he’s not flashy but you you want one on
Oh God that’s not GL I like how you say that and you lean back too like you like Flex like I feel like you just shoved your hand like there’s only one of us in sty where you’re like that’s right there’s only one of us in a suit here
You get in a DUI accident then you know how to call call 2222222 yeah do you even litigate bro dude a lot of them you do know bird if if you ad Mitch did your own show who would talk yeah I see would be electric you know
What you’re hating we’re both just being misused right now actually Johnny show up utilized oh my goodness the bombs aren’t using Johnny properly that’s all are you saying we don’t use you properly Mitch when you show up here for 20 minutes a week well could have been for a full
Episode tomorrow but you know zo couldn’t do tomorrow and zo’s driving the rating so God forbid we gota go those uh oh now pins is fighting you said it you said it not me I’ll I’ll go try to put the kid back in the my wife so that way I can do
Saturday morning shows that sacrifice I got to make some that’s not how it works should have rubbered up and then you could have Doney in the top Corner say that next time you’re in Chicago and see what [Laughter] happens I’m gonna laugh now but don’t do that in person especially if we’re we
[Laughter] drinking no this isn’t emergency podcast this is we didn’t do one on Wednesday because UT got married yep a couple years ago yeah yeah but uh no there’s not a fight we’re not Cousin see they that’s what they have too on the bums they’re cousins that’s family deep-seated years
Of fighting this is true like fighting at the kids table at Thanksgiving kind of [ __ ] back like but back when you were a kid not well I don’t know baloney might get stuck at the Kids Table still but I don’t know you gotta read that one out you
Gotta read it out loud for the podcast bum of the week zo for not wearing condoms with three eyeball emojis and that’s wild in parentheses oh it’s all right I’ll just let I’ll tell Brody he’ll beat you up in five years yeah no it’s a shame that bar

I ain’t no easy win no I’m too tired I’m tired just even thinking about fighting somebody Jesus Christ way too much too much work way too much effort squash we’ll squash the I’m already over it I’m too tired for this [ __ ] somebody uh last time I was out
Definitely was not at Uncle buds it’s a fine establishment but uh I was at another establishment and there was some Ruffians about and uh they started fisticuffs and my initial like old reaction was like I’m in and then I just like sat back down I was like what are you doing you old
One one step muscle strain done but I will say it was very entertaining to sit there and continue to drink and just laugh see like oh watch watch this kid oh what’s this kid doing oh he’s going for the bottle oh nope he’s Miss oh that
Kid just ran he was like what the [ __ ] although Mitch you guys are on the way here the beautiful part about getting old is when you get into the bars now at this age and you see the young youngans your job now is to sit there and be like
The koi instigator where you like can actually like convince them to do what they’re going to do but you’re not doing it you’re just kind of hanging back eating you know chicken nuggies or whatever and drinking a beer and watching them do it but you’re basically
That you are the uh the Don King of the bar at this point now when you get the only thing I got mad at was one dude slammed another dude into the golden team machine and I was like that better still work hey off the hey hey hey hey yeah that’s when you
Excuse me excuse me so instead of separating the two guys from fighting you’re separating the fight from the guys guys I got 94 yards to the pin I’m trying to put spin on this hold on [ __ ] I was that was probably one of the hardest I’ve laughed in a long
Time is like my first reaction literally was like to like grab someone and like get in there and then I sat down and just started like I was in tears I was like laughing like what are your old ass G to this kid will toss you dude kid
Looks like a [ __ ] Collegiate football player I don’t know who the [ __ ] I thought I was I was going out the P plain glass window you got the Advent experience though you got a long I just punch him I would just punch him in the throat I mean let’s be realistic you
Can’t fight if you can’t breathe all I can think of right now is from Bronx tail at the bar scene the bar scene from Bronx tail someone [ __ ] with the golden tea and breaks it and then zo’s just like all right now you’re really [ __ ] up put 20 in there
Now you just can’t leave now you guys can’t leave and you like lock the door manners make whatever me me and my cousin were uh we had quite a laugh about it and then they all got kicked out and then I put on $20 worth a huba
Stank and we had a nice time but you found a reason I’m too old for that [ __ ] when I used to be yeah that’s just I don’t even go to bars now I really have no reason to leave my house like ever yeah like I’ll
Go to the 108 day tomorrow set up with the bar down there I mean I got golden tea down there I got a bar I got two big ass TVs withan system a bar in this economy are you kidding me charge cover like you know Time Time tough you need
To get a Velvet Rope I the bottom of the staircase like does have its own separate entrance like you don’t have to come in my front door you can come in I was going to say finish said sentence but then I figured someone would clip it and so I stopped [Laughter]
Still but it does have a separate entrance I could put a Velvet Rope up there your own Easy we had our initial inflatable bouncer small get together it was good it just hired Mitch as your bouncer I got you beef can do it too stand out there in his ponytail and [ __ ]
Just like ocular Pat Downs for everybody does insult all the guys like have kids you should have rubbered up touches just so you know I’m fine it was a joke but although we’ll never not bring it up now just so you know he’s gonna continue oh no that’s what I’m
Bringing up that was a great joke just continue but I do not have touch tones at my house yet I could probably make that happen I got a guy you’re gonna have a slot machine down like a video poker machine maybe if I can get a video poker down
Machine on there I’m seriously never leaving my house get Buffalo slot bro a buffalo slot Buffalo since 2020 you can literally get everything delivered to your door I know it’s amazing they’re just really just arcade boxes right I mean they’re just like that’s we as a kids they look so like indestructible
But when you know what they really are it’s really just like a computer monitor you know the the the controls and then basically the the change thing down below and it’s it’s pretty basic machine it’s awesome but yeah remember Silver Spoons man they had like eight or nine
[ __ ] arcade games at that at Ricky Schroeder’s house including Dragon layer which was the best one I could probably get an old slot machine I need a video slot machine though it’s a good idea how do you lose money at your own house well get married that’s true well that that yours

Happen cuz I am of the uh train of thought as our friend Alexis I like to have a birthday month oh and this birthday is 40 so you best believe your boys have a month so I might have to hop on the month banway
I’ll go a week I feel it does get kind of old the older you get the month the month is kind of tough but I can do a week I feel like 40 you could pull off a month you know some other yeah here I think would be a month one so I’m
Looking at the lineup too um Innings Fest starts at that’s what I’m going to after the game or whatever that starts at 1 but the bands that are opening aren’t good bands so there isn’t actually a need to be at Innings Fest until tro oh Jam calm down
Uh yeah I can do the birth month I can do the birth month I don’t know I won’t do it for 40 though I’m going to a concert on my actual birthday and then I think we’re going to have a small get together in the basement again not
Trying to leave my house ever again so have you named it you know what funny you bring that up three four this was discussed earlier today but nothing has been settled on I think neon sign Me and Mrs o have uh massive creative differences when it comes to what we
Want to name this bar what you I had just zo’s because she’s technically a zo because it’s the last name true um come and go but that’s already gone it’s a gas station she didn’t think it was funny uh yeah last hour yeah that’s true you stay though uh I apparently too long
Uh yeah I forgot what other ones I had but none of them really worked what did she had I don’t remember to be honest with you I I’ve been drinking since like six o’clock tonight it’s memory the memory’s going started out with some wine at
Dinner oh then guys I don’t know if you know this but when you put a full functioning bar in your basement you tend to drink a lot more I would imagine well you’re just training for the case race yeah oh yeah douge is smoke Us by
Himself look what you started me I know guys like that we have to put we have to put like some sort of handicap on don’t you like you have to do my problem my problem going to Bourbon Street Johnny is I grew up in Beverly so like closer to that
Establishment so if I go to Bourbon Street guaranteed eight people that I haven’t seen since high school for a reason I’m GNA run into every time I go there every time I go there and yes if I ever buy a boat it will be boats and zo 100% 100%
I don’t know I actually got a uh a neon sign for Christmas from my dad but it just says open he wants me to put it in the basement window so if he drives by and I have it lit up he knows he’d come in for a drink should get a malort light
No class up the joint no I’m not I’m not one of the malort Chicagoans at all I don’t think it’s funny I think it’s just a waste I’m with you Zo it’s [ __ ] terrible I don’t get the aler I don’t and I don’t hate I mean if you
Guys want to do it go for it it’s just not not my bag baby you guys go for it I’m not doing it I’m not buying it it’s just what it is I’ve done my my one a couple years ago and I’m good never again then get a Four Roses late possibly
That thought it was good activation at the Rose Bowl was perfect branding for them but they they had a really they were all over the player Fest they had Rose like four roses everywhere Missy it gets significantly worse the older you get like it’s terrible but yeah yeah yeah I don’t know
How you guys do it I Mitch you ever drink malort you know I used to hate it I used to think I thought you know it tastes like pain thinner but I’m not gonna lie the last few times it does taste like I mean it’s kind of growing up it’s an acquired
Taste it is and I don’t have it I don’t like it but if someone was like do a a shot I would take it they taste I got the first time I tried it was a just dirt I would never do like see usually I could do like
Bourbon on the Rock I could never do like mord on the rocks oh no no noort you have to and in fact if you get overpoured with malort that’s that’s actually potential for like a little bit like little verp if you will because if you have to do a second gulp of mord
It’s got to be one gulp it can’t be more than it can’t be gulp gulp the second gulp you’re you’re [ __ ] clip all of that um merer does suck uh yeah dog this show ended about an hour ago but time is a flat circle time is a start
It this is just we decided to talk to each other and put it live for people to comment on it yeah basically when like they gotta get the Bench Warmers in to like log some minutes this is just me I’m getting my minutes for the year 2024 white sock
We’re just kind of playing no one’s no one’s watching just kind of going with it uh I have it in my contract I have to podcast for x amount of minutes so I’m just trying to stack those up yep um we’re the Brian Shaw right now we’re just we’re just
Time do you think the White Soxs could actually put up some runs if they went out and signed a Solair or tasar Hernandez from the or runs yeah see when the one way guys have one of if not the best Kevin I don’t I want to know what this said oh
What is this about what are you guys jaming I haven’t got I haven’t I I haven’t got I started listening to it and then I got to a place where I couldn’t hear because it was too loud so I have to go back and re listen to it I
Got to the point I yeah you you clipped it at that exact spot so it starts right so but it’s why it’s so easy to P should I just play it I can play it what is it uh don’t don’t blow up the DMS what if
It gets gnarly oh it’s it’s from YouTube It’s X Major League player tells all about the white socks oh no tells all who is it who’s theer T-Mobile well it’s an ad right now it’s a T-Mobile that is what it is but um is it the guy who says
That Kenny Williams way and then success– wise I was always very successful in Chicago against the white sock I felt comfortable there for whatever reason and I really love City Field I believe that c actually my best stadium so go look that up from ask Joshy games you were most
Nervous about most nervous about there was a few my first playoff game in 201 19 or little bit nerve-wracking it was in N stadium in the division series it’s Yankee Stadium it’s a playoff series so loud I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again a [ __ ] in front of no one
Playoffs you just don’t want it to be your fault you just don’t want you that did it uh you know we all know Bill bucker only the socks part yeah oh boy we got attendance jokes we got attendance jokes Trevor May coming in with the hot Takes what you guys think so attendance is gonna be like in 24 oh oh over under do that for over under with be 40 100% real one that that’s good already know we already know we got the bougie season ticket holders holding it down that’s right they’ll be there pinkies out
They’re the only real fans that matter anyway um so they always do like a a Q&A aspect of 108 day and I hope someone just gets up on that mic and just torches him it’ll I hope someone we need that recorded and on full blast no you can’t
Make they don’t record [ __ ] I want to wait there for a reason that’s right oh I forgot that’s right we stopped doing that you got to do over under how many guns sneaked in half B over wait that gets found out about get found out that
Gets found out oh or actually no you can do how many guns gets discharged inside guaranteed ra field yeah didn’t I’m still taking the over um attendance is gonna be pretty brutal I me it is what it is I actually plan on taking the boy to a lot of games this
Year because there’ be no one there oh yeah no you can you can go like At first pitch and get in there for free is a great way it’s a yeah it’s a great way to ease the boy into going to baseball games don’t have to worry about losing
Him in the crowd no bathroom Lines no lines for food he just runs away all you have to do is Scream his name it’s gonna Echo around the St yeah I mean the pitcher might tell me to quiet down okay so over and under attendance last year was 21,45
Per game down from 24704 the previous season under it’s gonna be under 18 is my guess 18 after I mean they never got below 20,000 they’ve never gotten below 20,000 in the last at least ticket sold though white so pissed off not yet yeah you got to remember dude like
That’s right through the Turn Style not well again going off of what pan said yesterday like no fan base in any sport arguably has had it worse than the White Sox fans the last decade and I’ll still go to games I know guys like Mitchell still go to games like
There’s we surround ourselves with real like big Baseball fans I don’t want like using the word there or real there but big Baseball fans guys that’ll just go to just watch baseball your casual fan is not going to go to that game they’re not going to go to the game to
Watch a 30 win team 35 40 win team play baseball yeah remember although I don’t Alo and fids Mitch I think this was before you joined but remember when the socks like got good for a little bit like when the rebuild like looked like it was actually taken off and people
Would really go on Twitter and be like I missed when there was no lines yeah I got it back we all just shook our head like you idiot what are you doing Buton Nova season they were like I went to like 12 games that year it was great
Because it was so cheap be like a Tuesday so cheap dude5 you know what it’s gonna be a great time because you’re gonna go to tailgate the White Sox Twitter communities all GNA probably be there tailgating it’s going to be a fun time here I think I have the number
For the over under if we want to do the attendance average ticket sold were you gonna go off of Oakland’s last year no no no I’m doing the off the white socks their lowest point like in the last decade so I’m going back to like the middle of the rebuild
2018 uh you guys average the white sock average 19,000 862 so over under that average that’s a good number because when FID said it I the number I had my head was 19,000 yeah and then 2021 I’m not going to count that though because that was still they had some covid restrictions
No are we are we talking butts in the seats or tickets sold it just says tickets sold that’s how they base it yeah that’s been the low point in the past couple decades it’s probably going to be right around there I’ll go under yeah I I feel like you got to go
Under because even in those years where they were like bad like you had Mana who was coming up like okay like we’ll see if like if this guy’s any good you had like something to watch there’s no one to watch on this team like who are you gonna outside of Luis Robert there’s
Like no one that’s gonna get you excited to like go to a White Sox game unless they’re playing for the other team well and the other thing is we literally just got beat the [ __ ] out of our the fans we just got punched in the stomach kicked
In the nuts whatever you want to call it all all last season last season was arguably the most disappointing season in my entire White Sox Phantom just because expectations were so high and they delivered so low the the Jeff passing comparison to them being a lemon was like perfect like we all thought
They were gonna be like we all I think we all predicted them to win the division and yeah dud just dud we drove it a block off the lot and it just the motor fell out the bottom I’m glad I’m also glad cuz like obviously what a dumbass prediction but
Like Jeff pass was like yeah man I had him when back he owns that [ __ ] that’s one of the reasons why I like him as a what he does is because he owns his [ __ ] you know and he makes fun of it whatever I mean that’s what if you’re in that
Business though like you’re going You’re gonna have some guys don’t you know some guys don’t own it though no that’s what I’m yeah no I yeah but I think that’s I got gonna be you’re not going to be batting 100% so you gotta that’s a better way to go about
Instead of pretending like you’re always a b bat 100 yeah no no one bats a 100 but it’s just tough man I mean unless you’re like a big baseball fan it’s really tough to get motivated to go to a a White Sox Royals game in May I’ll be
There they’re finally playing on a weekend this year like last week year it sucked because like every time they played the Royals it was in the middle of the week but that’s what I’m talking about Mitch is a big baseball fan look at it’s [ __ ] January 5th and Mitch
Has already got this [ __ ] I love that that’s what I’m talking about and it’s few and far between but what you’re also going to see although too is a lot of people like let’s say when the Dodgers come to town like that’s going to be a big boost
To attendance numbers that’s true I mean that’s low number 19,000 it’s gonna be bad man it’s gonna be really bad there’ll be a few days that’ll anchor it when the Yankees come to town that gets a pretty good draw the Dodgers I don’t even know if they play
The Dodgers this year and then opening day everybody plays everybody now man I was gonna say I think opening day I think opening day is a good indicator like if it’s not I bet you I can walk up to the window and buy a ticket on
Opening day if it’s not bet gonna be like 32,000 is my guess yeah I I for the first time for the first time in a long time I bet you I will be able to walk up there opening day and buy a 100 level ticket at the window
Probably that right there is a very sad sentence you used to have to buy your opening day tickets months in advance and now I could I mean what who are people lining up to see Mike S Soka [ __ ] as your opening day starter that’s what I was gonna add like if C
Gets traded who who do they have taking the ball opening day I mean that it is that is that is a very tough fire to like all right so the 2023 uh opening day was the white socks uh Giants I was there good they beat the they beat the AST
No home opener that’s when the Giants scor two touchdowns yeah the uh the attendance for that day and again April cold as hell but it was at 34,7 184 you’d be lucky to get 30 this year my biggest recollection of that game I remember the first inning copak
Like was throwing this change up and it looked filthy got like two outs really quickly and I was tweeting like oh man cop’s got to change up and he’s going to be our fifth starter we we could be in business and he proceeded to give up two
Backtack bombs I like boy now he’s making me look like an [ __ ] and it was it was a home run derby dude I remember I like got up to get a beer was like I got up to get a beer and like as I was waiting in line I just kept I’m
Like this can’t still was your next going like this the whole yeah I mean I was just s and then I just got really drunk and stop stop paying attention was who’s the home opener against this year is it a opening is it a home open it’s on opening day it’s [ __ ] the
Tigers on March 28th at 3:10 PM it’s gonna be tough to get up for that one you’re lucky if you get 30,000 at that game yeah Thursday 310 three against the Tigers then three against the Braves I can see the Braves drawing people but the first week of
April’s tough but that sucks yeah it’s April they go to Kansas City they go to Cleveland then they get the Reds home for three the Royals home for three they go to Philadelphia they go to Minnesota they go to or Tampa comes here Minnesota comes here they go to St
Louis all right may it starts getting nice you got guardians here for four Nationals here for three they Factory that white side they go to Toronto all right all right May 23rd through 26 four games at home versus Baltimore I’ll probably go to one of those games yeah
And then follow that up with three games versus the Blue Jays I’ll probably try to go to one of those games and they play at Wrigley on June 4th and June 5th Red Sox come here for four games June 6th to June 9th Red Sox always travel [ __ ] well yeah they always
Travel well yeah asking about the Cubs April schedule it’s brutal pull up the Cubs schedule I say it’s brutal man from what I remember it is brutal let me see it might be let me see let me see let me see let me see the Cubs start oh [ __ ] Cubs start their
Season three games against the Rangers and then they have the Rockies and r for three and then they have the Dodgers in Wrigley for three and then they go to San Diego for three and then they go to Seattle for three and then they go to Arizona for three and then
They have the Marlins at home for four Astros in Wrigley for three and then they go to Boston for three and they close out April playing the N Mets bruh under especially with this current roster I would put it under 10 probably that is uh that is uh hang with
Him hang with him it’s uh it’s never great when you start in the defending World Champs building yeah I great and then they have that nine game West Coast road trip it’s like God yeah that’s that’s brutal man yeah dog with the Tweet of the night

I not hear about this except for reading on Sports mockery sportsmockery.com turny on push maybe you didn’t have your notifications turned on you miss didn’t have his notifications turned on that’s I I don’t think I did I don’t think I did I think I gotta remind all you there
To turn them on between that coronin news that he got DFA you know there’s a lot of white so I saw that well I think I got so caught up in the duck and Cronin news that you miss that’s understandable and then and also the snip snap with Carlos Perez he’s
Gone and he’s back you know that was pretty emotional traumatizing well with Chucky now they’re gonna have like four catchers on the 40 Man rosters I’m surprised they brought him back Chicago four that’s CH play if you’re a catcher and you’re in Major League Baseball you need to just get on one of
The Chicago teams Chicago jeds bringing in six they bring him six yeah need depth yep that that’s a pretty accurate assessment that’s fair that’s fair um I seriously guy’s oh he’s 29 is he a career minor leager no he was with the Reds got 25s yes he’s a career minor
Leager did he question yes yes he is when was he on the white sock he could be you never know hey maybe Charlotte’s got that magic formula that he needed maybe he can pass Stacey or Mado it’s gonna be a low bar set as long
As he can hit above 190 then uh you know what I don’t I don’t blame Chucky i’ look at that DB chart too and be like he [ __ ] it hey let me tell you I’m looking at Chucky I’m looking at Chucky’s game log here he ended 2022 going three for
Seven against the Cubs so he’s he finished hot he was hot cup killer yeah to bring him up for a cup stocks in June Jes this season’s gonna be a trip dude it’s gonna be like the it’s gonna be like the movie major leagues yeah like
It’s not gonna have a good end no cool because they can’t the players won’t want to see Jerry reinsdorf naked so like that tactic won’t work they’ll be like ripping off the pieces like a can’t win again the only Bizarro thing that could happen this season is this rag tag group of
Suck puts it together and like goes off on like a 30 game winning streak or some [ __ ] like that I bet I’m over 70 and a half wins and they get that 30 game winning streak to like barely Eclipse that number MIT don’t bet him over at 7
Just when when Z off the start of the schedule though that didn’t look like there were tons of like I mean you got winnable games out of the game no no you’re forgetting the white sock suck Kevin yeah those are those are winable games for the other team but but hey
Haven’t even like we talk about how bad the lineup was like and is bad but like the bullpen gonna be horrible hey man the Santos and a bunch of Scrubs gotta believe you’ve got to believe first of all relax on the scr relax on the scrub
Talk um but yeah man it’s gonna be uh it’s gonna be a season it’s gonna be interesting the thing I’m like apathetic to it though like he’s got you I’m not going to get mad this year I’m the same way I see all these people riled up over these signning yeah
Again it was I’m no it’s all right like why are you mad that they signed Chad K or Cru or whatever the [ __ ] his name is to a minor league deal who gives a [ __ ] that was funny like why why we all know the timee it doesn’t matter what they do they’re gonna
Complain about something they could have soani and be like you’re paying him that much what you’re paying a DH Baseball look up foolish baseball what this is the best case scenario you just want a one year this is a crappy team and we have no idea how they were good
The 2012 Oakland A Y they were like predicted to win like 70 games they were weren’t supposed to be good they had suspus you guys have Lis Robert Jr oh back and they ended up winning 94 games I think and then after that none of the guys sustain their success though
Except for sesp as a little but it’s like that that’s that’s your best caseen you just need guys having career years you know pull up the memes zo that looks so creepy I am the leecha um I’m very I knew [Applause] Fizz yeah I knew Fizz would get that reference right away
Um no although I’m I’m down sign me up for one of those Seasons where they just magically win 70 game watch the white sock sneak into the playoffs win the wild card game they win the division with 75 wins C with gas ESPN’s just already popping chubs getting ready for
The 30 for30 on this rag tag group of Misfits socks Yankees and when they added Chucky Robinson all the pieces were in place they start doing American gota do the American Express commercials yep oh yeah when he slides into a home Ste home without it what if
I told you the missing piece was Chucky Robinson the homeless another left-handed Rel there what if I told you all the white socks needed was Child’s Play Chucky Robinson line up 4040 season for Chucky Robinson [ __ ] Delirious oh we I’m glad we got to the point of
The podcast tonight was like what if the white socks are good yeah I knew were full circle full circle that’s right because we know they’re not they’re not going they’re gonna be really bad I knew we were gonna get there I’m very prediction show I might have to put in
Some PTO for that one that’ll be we’re gonna need you for that one we stop sniffing glue under predictions are going to be like White Sox win 74 games my bold White Sox preditions they win 55 games 27 I said Pedro was gonna win manager of the year last year so you
Never know what the hell’s gonna happen this year oh god oh man yeah that 27 to4 streak is going to be nuts dude WIS the is gonna just be a Manimal going insan Nikki Lopez has like a five War season at second base just five tool second baseman Andrew vaugh [ __ ]
Two Cy stretcher workouts oh man Oscar Kus is the player we all thought he would be Eric fetty Sai Young contender I could see it all happening we’re all gonna put let’s put this all let’s put this all out in the universe Yan Mona has a contract year just goes nuts 303
3030 season for yoan and PS Gavin sheets doesn’t play right field oh settle down now doesn’t trip over himself you know what I don’t even blame Gavin for that that’s not I don’t even blame him for his bad defense it’s nope can’t even make you think they told them
After the season it’s like Gavin put in 100% effort because we still believe in you as an outfielder so go out and get better in the off season or do you think they were like Gavin you know we’re we’re moving in a different direction no I think go put some work in
Right field like you’re gonna compete for the job I don’t know man if the whole Focus this offseason is defense how do you say that and then put Andrew or we otherwise we’re else going to put sheets like DH time not right against righties well no that was
The thing wasn’t his Focus supposed to be on defense last off season yes this this was the prod well I think it was eloy’s Focus he was focusing on defense because we were told he he he was gonna be the right fielder got hurt can’t there you go there’s a prediction
Actually Missy I I don’t think she’s still watching but you need to holler at your girl and get that curse lifted please because you were supposed to do that last year and you obviously failed horribly so we need that I mean missy curs the 2023 White Sox I think that’s
What happened I think we just figured this all out curses were we just figured it all out right now because leer pitched good yeah the best arm we had in that rotation it was a bad curse they backfired she was supposed to get the curse reversed never did it she’s like
Like in Photoshop when you uh when you use the wand tool and then you do inverse she did inverse but by accident it hit everybody but clevinger there you go that’s it oh that’s a surprised he didn’t get paper yet somebody else him pitching that a premium well not until February 1 all
Right Mitch go home down it’s gonna be a pain in the ass right try fast take chances that’s true Hammer Down Baby hammer down baby all right uh I think for Mitch that’s FS I mean thanks for the sickos who are still uh you I seriously love all of you uh
