I didn't think so. You need to start your prep now. This is Faraz from Upper Hand Fantasy.

Today is the day to start getting ready for the draft, so join us and stay ahead of the competition. Follow and listen to Upper Hand Fantasy on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. There's a debate going on in the chat right now. Our buddy, Michael, says that the numbers are turning fans off to the game, the younger fans, and then Tony says, "Are Kim's advanced metrics generating any value?" I think the answer to that is yes. I think absolutely. 100% they are. I mean we were talking about Hassan Kim's value earlier in the day. He's what? 9th in F-4 for short stops and 9th by short stop in the league according to F-4. So I think, yeah, I mean that can help build value potentially in somebody that may be the casual fan. Now listen, when you're talking about trading people, there are no casual GMs. The Kevin Towers of the world are gone. It doesn't exist. You won't get the job. If you're like no seed in their pants. No, no. Nobody goes there and says, "How do I tell a good baseball player?" Listen, I can hear a good baseball. I can hear it. I can smell it. I smell it in him. I look in his eyes. I don't know. He means no confidence. That's right. That doesn't exist anymore, okay? So every single GM knows how to create value out of whatever player they have. Conversely, every other GM that they're dealing with knows how to take some of that value away. It's quite an art form. Now there is value beyond the numbers. And if you don't acknowledge that, then you're missing some of the greatness of the game. There are players who are more than just the sum of their numbers. Wouldn't you agree with that? Yeah. Chemistry, character, make-up, grit, whatever you want to call it. It's still a good thing to have in a baseball player. But you can't ignore the numbers either. Just because you like a guy's grit or make-up. They have to also produce. There is a balance there for sure. And there is still a place in the game for some of those old school evaluations. There's no question. But there's no way you can just ignore the numbers and go with your gut. The problem is, is I don't see a lot of the numbers people. You know, there needs to be a mutual respect between both. That's what I've always said. There's got to be a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and you know, you're in a little bit of luck. Your brain lies to you. It will reinforce what you already believe. If you think Hassan Kim is a good ballplayer, then you'll remember his line drive. You'll remember the diving plays that he makes, and you'll kind of ignore some of the errors and some of the slumps. If you think Hassan Kim isn't a good shortstop, then you'll ignore some of the good plays that he makes, and you'll remember all the errors. Your brain wants to reinforce what you already believe. That's what the numbers can do. They can tell you, "My brain's been tricking me a little bit." I didn't think Hassan Kim was quite that good. How many times have we gone and pulled up some of these pages and went, "Wow, I'm okay. All right. That was completely wrong. I guess he's not striking out all the time." Take Luis Campusano early in the season. A lot of praise for Campi hitting, you know, 300 and tons of hits, but if you went to his statcast page, you would have seen that it was a bit of a mirage, that the balls weren't being hit hard, that they weren't barreled up, and that likely, if he continues on this path, things will regress and he'll go into a slump when the balls don't fall in. Well, guess what happened? Exactly that. Sometimes it is a telling indicator of the future that the numbers that you're seeing that are actually producing, which are important. Obviously, you have to actually produce on the field, but you can say, "Man, this isn't necessarily something that's sustainable." Correct. Sustainable in 162 game season is of the utmost importance. Is what I'm doing sustainable, if it is, great. You know, I'm going to have my ups, I'm going to have my downs. If I'm just hitting ass out flares into right field and getting knocks on him, it's not going to last for 162. It may not last for six. And part of what Jurikson Profar has said this year is that he is finally just trusting his game, not worrying so much. When there's a bad game or a slump, doesn't need to tinker with anything. Yeah, yeah, just trust, just trust. If numbers say I'm a decent player, guess what? I'm just going to trust it and move forward. And that can be hard to do because we all, when things aren't going well, think we need to do something and make changes. And if we're not, we feel like we're not doing our job. We're lazy. We're not doing our job. But sometimes the right thing to do is nothing. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Just like the Rhindor port. Just leave it alone. Let him do his thing. Do your thing, Paulie. And get things started here with our addition today's addition of the Rhindor report. Now tune to the Muff. Greatest. Welcome to the Rhindor report with Paul Rhindor. Hi Paul. All right. Two stories from the world of sports that we haven't gotten to yet. We'll start off in Major League Baseball. And one story that you didn't know you needed. Are you laughing beyond? It's the Rhindor report. Hey Paul, how you doing? How are you doing? Okay, how are you? On 97.3, the fan. Are you ready to blast the mood? I need some help please. That was good. Can I get a whole year? Yeah. All right. All right. Morning gentlemen. Morning buddy. How are we doing? Good. Good. Let's see. Got a couple of stories here for you. We will start off in the world of baseball, baseball, media, Sci Story yesterday. How do you guys feel about Pete Rose? Where are you guys out on Pete Rose? In 2024. I love the player. The person's not my favorite. I mean, if, you know, if I'm being completely honest, like, I read some stuff about it yesterday because I know where you're going here. And I read an article yesterday and I went, yeah, I'd forgotten most of this under age 15 year old girl in Cincinnati, you know, that he had a long, long relationship. It's just 15 years old. He was playing for the rats. It's not good. It's not good. I'm not asking him to babysit my kids any time soon. No, but I love the player, but I also, he's a polarizing guy. He's a polarizing cat. You know, one of the best hitters of all time, not in the Hall of Fame. And I just, I remember watching him as a kid and being like, God dang, that guy gives you, you know, Charlie also. You get that nickname and then I remember vividly the betting, the scandals that came out. I just remember sitting like the Sports Center was still fairly new back then. I just remember being riveted and being like, Oh my God, March shot Pete Rose. The betting was incredible. Well, yesterday HBO announced a four part documentary watching every second. You will. Okay. Every effing second. It's a four, four part documentary on the life and career of Pete Rose. It's called Charlie Hustle in the matter of Pete Rose. Every second of it. It will air on Wednesday the 24th and Thursday, July 25th, two episodes each day. So you'll have it, you know, done in 48 hours. And yeah, I was reading it along here a little bit. Fascinating portrait of a complex individual full of contradictions. One seeking redemption, but not, not quite ready for full atonement. He will not, he will like won't, they told him back then. Just apologize. He's like, no, we can, we can make this work. Just apologize. No contrition. Right. You have anybody else. Everyone wants redemption, but redemption requires some interest spread, introspection and contrition, and she's never really totally been able to do. The interview has you've had to absolutely force out of him. Like like squeeze over like deck. Yes, just squeeze like a drop of contrition out of Pete Rose has been the hardest thing in the world. My six year old. Interviewed in the film in the four part documentary, Pete Rose is in it, of course. He's not an executive producer, so I don't know how much say he had in like the final cut or anything like that, but he is in it. His son, Pete Rose juniors in it, Mike Schmidt, Ken Griffey Sr. Eduardo Perez, Al Michaels, Marty Brennan, John Miller, so a lot of big names. And yeah, they've got all the descriptions out for each four, all four of the episodes. It's a prime example of art artist. Yeah, that's it. Here's a little bit of a trailer. See if it sells you, if you're on the fence about it or not. This was baseball's Watergate. One of the game's greatest players has stained the game. This arose as accepted baseball's ultimate sanction. Lifetime and eligibility. Till this day, I don't think they had evidence of what lasted in court about me being on baseball. We don't appreciate it getting reinstated. Pete has to participate and show that he wants it. I went baseball at Pete Rose to be friends, so I can say I'm not an outsider looking in. What he did for me was invaluable. Pete's his own worst enemy. Should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame? Integrity still matters. Shakespeare would have a field day with his story. All I did was bet on baseball, I didn't drop banks. And I was wrong by not coming clean originally. But I played the game right. Don't watch it. So we're telling you, I got to go make a bet. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, the betting is the betting, but the other story is really gnarly. And he did have the greatest quote I've ever heard. I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball. I watched Ken Burns baseball when that came out. And of all the quotes that stuck with me forever is I would walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball. And I went, you got me. What stuck with me about that trailer was when he said, to this day, I don't think they had evidence that would have held up in a courtroom. It doesn't matter. Even you later in the trailer admit, well, I did. I should have come clean. I did do it. Who cares what specific evidence they had against you? You knew you did it. They knew you did it. And you tried to make everyone think that you didn't do it. So tough. Well, I'm probably going to watch. I'm watching every second of it. Every second. That's in a couple of weeks. I also saw this clip making the rounds yesterday. Some sports radio fun. This didn't remind me of anyone in particular that I know. For sure. But Michael K. From WFAN or no, he's ESPN 1000 I think out there. Where's Michael? Is he WFAN? Is he on the WFAN? He's on the yes network. Yes network. And 98.7 ESPN. ESPN. Okay. So the other New York sports radio out there and they got a guy named Mike from New Jersey. I'm going to call in and I'll just let this clip play for itself. Michael K just goes off on this sports radio caller. And you will never, big Michael K will never criticize the Yankees. Probably hang up on me. You know what? You know what? Check off. You want me to hang up on you. I'm not going to hang up on you. I'm going to let you spoon your nonsense. All I do is sit here and criticize the Yankees every day. Are you hard of hearing? Are you hard of hearing, Mike? What do you say about food? What do you say about food? I tell you he is managing and no, no. Who doesn't know anything like that? Are you a Metfener/Yanki fan? Who doesn't? You have Metfener/Yanki fan. What are you? You're a Yanki fan. I have said that Boone acts in concert with the front office. I'm giving you reasons what's going on. I have said over and over they have a chance of falling out of the postseason. What do you want me to do? I don't understand what you want me to do, Mike. Don't find it somewhere else. Don't find it somewhere else, Mike. Tell me who's saying stuff like this. Say you hang up, Michael. You'll hang up, Michael. Again. You want me to hang up on you, you clown? You love me to hang up on you. I am going to let you bury yourself. I'm not going to hang up on you. You deserve to be exposed to the moron. Go. Continue to go. You've got the radio. Go, Mike. Go. G. Man. It's uncanny. It's like adding a New York accent to a certain host. But we know very well. And of course, me and Annie Halberd. Annie Halberd. Just like her. Just like Annie. I said nobody else. I mean, the only thing you didn't say was, dude, I don't say it twice. I said it twice, dude. Aaron Boone's got to go. I said it twice, dude. How bad would it suck to live in New York if you were a fan of one of those teams? And you still had to cover the other team? Because they have that all over. One guy sells like a Yankee or a Met fan. And then Michael Kays, obviously, works for the Yankees. But like, no, I think the Mets should trade. So it's like, of course you do. You're a Yankee fan. You bum. And you're only tough to maintain your credibility if you are a fan of one of these. Be horrible. Horrible. But you don't want to just be Mr. Neutral. Like, you can't be. I'm not a fan of either Yankees or the Mets. But simply an impartial observer of the whole thing. You're a ball. Whatever twice. I don't say it twice, dude. I say what? Oh my god. You're hearing one. I said, you're hearing what I said. Put the other one on. There is no other one. That's it. The other one. This man, what we heard was **** you on the horn. Bro, I don't give a **** what you heard. I'm sending you what was said. Whatever you think you heard. I don't care. Damn, dude. Like, you're out of your mind. I give you the **** evidence. I'm giving you the evidence. That's what was said on the radio. That's what was said. Like, are you kidding? I gave you what I said. I didn't say it again. **** A. Your brain plays tricks on you. Woods brings you the stat cast numbers of what was actually said. Yeah. I can't trust your own brain sometimes. Yeah, there was 90 money since I've never heard such an aggressive dude in my life before. Adam, this sounds like every phone call I have with Steve Woods. Yeah. Oh, my God. Adam and I have had some bangers, bangers on the phone. Yeah. You're a little passionate. It's all right. Don't say it twice, dude. So good. Identical, Michael K. Identical. That's great. I saw that yesterday. I was like, I'll probably bring that with it. Michael K is a boot licker. I think when you work for a team, there's always a fine line you have to walk. I appreciate and I respect a guy like Jesse Agler who will give us honest opinions. But of course, you can't simply just come on and just trash everything about the team. He's team employee. He's, you know, on the Padres payroll, but he also is not going to lie to you about the team. He may not, he may not accentuate some of the negative sometimes, which I totally understand, but he's not going to just bald face lie and say the Padres are, are red when you know that they're blue. Ben, it, the funny part about this job and when you, when you hear stuff like that, and I've got that before. So you're telling me then, whoever you are, Mike, and you work at Qualcomm. You, you are, you're an engineer. You walk into your CEO's office and you're like, you're a bum. Ruining this country. You suck. You're a loser. I just tell it like it is, bro. I'm no boot licker. Nah. Like everybody has a boss. Everybody on the planet, they act like media guys don't. Like we don't have a boss or sometimes. And it's like, bro, I can't, you know, I can't go nuclear all the time. I went nuclear on that guy, because that guy was calling me a liar. But we've always said on the show, you're going to get how you're genuinely feeling. Genuinely. Some days the Padres losses devastate me. Some days like today, when I'm going on vacation, I'm like, it's not my problem. I'll watch tomorrow. I'm into it. It's never your problem. It's not my problem. But holy smoke. We can't fix them. Yeah, I can't fix them. Well, we're up against the clock, so I had a thing. Hey, hey, I don't, we don't need to get to it. You just want to skip. What? The best part of the day. All right. Tease it. And we'll come back. Yeah. Just be careful. Yeah. We're going to be very careful. Just think about it over the break. How do you want to handle this? If you're really going in that direction. You guys want to Google the couple in Georgia and a margarita. That does not want to do this. Think about this. Think twice. Either way, we're going to give away some John Fogarty tickets when we come back as well. And don't forget the round table is coming up at the top of the hour. All ahead. And Woods's vacation is about 43 minutes away. Right here on San Diego's number one sports station back after traffic here at 97.3 of the fam. What kind of programs does this school have?

You don't want an embarrassing tattoo just because you lost a bet in your Fantasy Football League, right? If you do, I suggest I'm remade holding a football, but let's avoid that altogether. Fraz and I are here to get you ready for your Fantasy Football Drafts with insights and advice from sleepers to busts we've got you covered to give you the upper hand on your friends. Start your Fantasy Football prep now. Join us and stay ahead of the competition. Follow and listen to Upper Hand Fantasy on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. I'd be very careful. Yeah. Little ears, maybe. Turn the tongue down for little ears. Does that include me? Mature. This is like kind of a little ear here. I want you to hear every second. I want you to hear every second. A tour. A tour. There was a viral clip going around on the social medias yesterday. Now, this actually happened a couple of months ago, but police just found out about it after the video went viral and I believe the woman involved may have ratted on herself. Like turned herself in, but there was a couple in Georgia. Wait cross Georgia. They're a couple. Yes. They know each other. Joe and Mary, Joe Boyette and Mary Sweat. Turn the name. Boyette and Sweat. In the mornings here in Georgia. It's Boyette and Sweat. Thanks for tuning in. Brave that. I had in the San Diego to take it on the pot raise. They are facing charges for an act that they committed at rodeo Mexican restaurants and way cross rodeo Mexican restaurants. I bet it's so good too. Tex-Mex. We're thinking here. It's Georgia. So no. Even worse. Southern-Mex. Just rodeo. Okay. Go ahead. Adam's lurking outside of the studio. Like is he just going to run in and pull the plug? He's not listening. I mean, he's not listening. Do you need us? Do you need us? Okay. Are we good? I think we're fine. Okay. I guess he's not listening. So, the video, which you can pretty much see. All of it. Pretty clearly. Yeah. What's happening? You going to put it in the chat or? No. No. No. Shows Mary. Don't understand this. Kind of hiking up her dress. Yep. The dress goes up. And then. Everything is exposed and she's in a booth. And on her knees. Right. With her rear end out. Right. And what's Joe? Joe. Joe Boyette. Like a picture of Margarita. Then. Just to clear it up. I don't think this was a frozen. Wasn't frozen. It was just a mixed, a mixed Margarita. On the rocks. On the rocks. Yes. And he's got the picture and a funnel. And a funnel. He used, tried to use the funnel to drink the Margarita after he had poured it down. Nope. Nope. Nope. That's it. Okay. That's it. Brandon in the chest. Stop. Stop beating around the bush. I said. Hey man. We're on radio still. This isn't just on YouTube. So I've heard the, the expression that's used when you, when you drink an alcoholic drink. But not through the normal orifice. Right. As it were. The blank chug. Right. Right. This is not that this is more like a lose. And I've never totally understood the concept necessarily. Yeah. But what is the funnel for? Well, the funnel didn't work. So we threw the funnel away. Okay. And then just, we just lose. Like the, the, the back of the. So they were arrested for what? Indecent exposure. All kinds of stuff. Really. Get arrested for excessive sticky mess in a booth. A lose. I need you to isolate yourself saying lose wasting a perfectly good picture of margaritas. I mean drunk. You have to be like. Hey, get that skirt up. I'm going to do that. Now lose. We talked that margarita lose. We talked about. Now at the bottom. So that is one thing that we will not be doing on summer break next week. You have to get that skirt up. And now is it, is it a urban legend or is it medical fact that the alcohol absorbs faster into your system? I don't know. Through alternate means of ingestion. So I heard the old rumor about Stevie Nix is that she did so much blow that she couldn't do it through her nose anymore. So she went another direction. And it worked. Apparently. Yeah. That is a desire. Like they'd like you actually like a friendly couple. We have the mug shot up. Yeah, they do. They do. Or chat. They look fairly normal. Not what I'm expecting. She's gridded. Joe looks like he's done this before. You see there's a glimpse of pride in his eye. And my first rodeo Mexican restaurant. You're damn right. Look at his face. Yeah. Damn right. I'll do it again. We'll do it again tomorrow. Look at him. There is some pride there. There's a pride in the eye. TMZ says yeah it happened three months ago. But at least just found out about it after Mary ran it on herself. She was upset after someone leaked the video online and wanted cops to arrest the person. And then instead her and Joe were arrested for public indecency. The restaurant put out a statement saying this was unacceptable and not reflective of the family friendly dining experience that they strive for at rodeo Mexican restaurant. I take my family out for a nice dinner. We open the door. She's on all four. She's like what the hell. Oh yeah. All right now let's go. Turn around. Dad's going to come back later. Holy crap. The face. I cannot get over his face. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I mean here that some of the employees of the restaurant may also face action or charges for inappropriate action because according to reports one of the restaurant employees is the one that gave Joe the funnel. How you got a funnel back? Hey. I'm sorry again. I apologize for being on a rare one. Which way are you doing the funnel? Like six. It's upside down. I still don't know what the funnel is for. I'm going to be honest with you. A funnel has a small size. A small size. And a big shot. A big shot. I don't know which hair band you can see. I don't know how it's going to help. I'm not going to show you. By adding a funnel to it. It's pouring something into the funnel. Yeah, I can see if you're trying to pull, but then it's like a, then it, like a, you know what I mean? I don't know. I don't watch it at the break. We'll get a better understanding of it. Thank you Paul. Really great. Now unfortunately for this restaurant anytime you Google now rodeo Mexican restaurant like all I wanted to know was what was on the menu like the Panchitos or corn tortilla chips smothered with queso, black beans, sour cream guacamole, pico de gallo and pickled jalapenos. Well, those are nachos. Why are you talking Panchitos? It's just nachos. Of course you go look at the menu. The minichangas. Oh, God, I love a chimichangas. Let's go to break. All right. We will come back. We got our final segment of Ben and what's first. We got the John Fogarty tickets to give away. He is not affiliated at all with the rhyme will report. I'd like to win two tickets to the rainy show September 4th to see John Fogarty in concert. It'll be our fifth caller at 833-288-097-3, 833-288-097-3. Tickets are on sale now at ticketmaster.com, but you can win them right now at 833-288-097-3. Back to wrap things up before the round table next year on 97-3, the fam. A couple updates on stories we've talked about in the past. Yesterday mentioned Torrey Pines Highlum, Taylor Fritz was in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. So close. We get to the semis, and it was a really good match against Lorenzo Mussetti. Taylor Fritz won the first set, lost the second one and a tiebreaker. We were on the air. That was top 7-6-7-5 in the tiebreaker. That was probably the match right there because Mussetti won the third set. Fritz came back though to win the fourth set, but then in the end, Mussetti took the last set 6-1 and advanced to the semi-finals. That second set was probably the decider there, that tiebreaker, just a point or two, making the difference as Taylor Fritz is eliminated in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. How many games do you play total? Did tennis match? No, they played yesterday because they went. So probably around 50, remember that one match a few years ago, Isner and Mahut, and it was like, what was it, like 65, 63 in the fifth set? Oh my God. Oh my God, I have 28 games in the one set because there was no tiebreakers back then and you had to go. Longest tennis match in history. It was a first round men single. This was 2010. Yeah, Isner, Mahut. And I'm trying to find out exactly how 11 hours and five minutes. Yeah. But how many games did it go in the fifth set? It was... 11 and 11. 70 to 68. 70 to 68 in the fifth set. Well you have to get to six to win. They've already played four sets. That would be like a baseball game going to the, I don't know, 137th inning. Before you decided it. It says the match began at 6.13 British time. And at 9.07 PM due to the feeding daylight, play was suspended before the start of the fifth set. After resuming on Wednesday the 23rd at 2.05 PM, the record for the longest match is broken at 5.45. Play continued until the final set was tied, 59 games all at which point the daylight faded again. Oh. Three days. So play was suspended once more just after 9.00 PM. They resumed at 3.40 PM on Thursday. And eventually he won, Isner won the match at 4.47, the final set time, eight hours and 11 minutes. You know that tennis when it started up, just the final set was eight hours and 11 minutes. I read that when tennis, like when they started and it was invented, it was just like a leisure game. A gentlemanly game. And they, you're supposed to actually hit it back to the other person to get it. Yeah. So it's such an even pro tennis was that way and it was just, I'm looking at you right in the eye and I'm like, here you go, if you hit it right back, here you go. It's a faux pas if you actually like hit a winner like too far away from the person. If you try to like lob one, if you try to smash one, that was a very Gosh. That was amazing. That's amazing. Well, baseball started that way as well. Pictures, pictures were supposed to like throw batting practice in the beginning of baseball. Like your job was to throw it in there. That's amazing. And eventually, obviously, it evolved where the pitcher's job became to try to get the guy out at home plate and not just your competitive spirit. Not just throw it in there for you to hit it. Just got a shot of Manny Machado's camp. My son is at right now, one of our tier ones, Chris is one of the coaches and yeah, they just brought Manny out big doing the big speech, all the little kids out there in Machado, Jersey, looks pretty sweet out at Helix. So gonna run down there and check that out and see how how everything's going today. The other story update is from a while ago, and this one is a sad one, but the passing of Sean Burroughs, they just released the corners report and we know that Sean Burroughs died at the parking lot of the Little League fields on May 9th at the age of 43. The corner said after performing the test that he died of a fentanyl intoxication over those, unfortunately, which is, I don't know, it's gonna make it any sad or it's sad enough that he's gone to begin with, but obviously, you know, I say that just as, you know, the cautionary tale for anybody out there, you don't know whether he was taking it intentionally or not, but you know, there's so many chances now where it gets in your system and it can just do such devastating, devastating damage, including death, and that's what caused the death of Sean Burroughs. Oh, super, super sad. We have a shout out to his family too, did you see that one this morning? It's actually a shout out to her family. Do you guys see who passed away? Actress. Actress. Holy, hang on, I gotta get the shout out to her family, that's a whole different drop, and had a really, really, really difficult life, especially near the end. She passed away, she was 75 years old. For those in the younger sets, famous roles that you might be aware of for Shelley Duvall. Olive oil in the movie with Robin Williams, a classic when we were kids Benny, and then, of course, the shining, I mean, Wendy, Wendy Torres. And when I think of that role, there's not a better actress in the world that you could have put in that role. No one, nobody could have been better than that. So she passed away, been 75 years old, had been in really, really poor health the last few years, and just an incredible, incredible actress, man. Dynamite drop in. Do you have anything else yet? I don't really have anything else to add. So why don't we take our last check of traffic here, huh? Let's do that. Three of the fans. Sorry, I didn't have anything to jump in with any more thoughts on Shelley Duvall. It's okay. You get nervous for the round table. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit. Oh, your rival's back. Yes. Stoting when Junior is scheduled to be here, taking your place today, actually in the round table. No, no, he works here too. Right. He's not filling in for you. He's not filling in for me. No, I'm missing one. He's not special guest. No, no, he's not taking my place. He also works here. Been traveling. He has his own keycard. But you, you have been wanting to create a rivalry with him for some dumb reason lately. You've really been, he just gives me a lot of side eyes when I make comments during the round table. He gives me a lot of side eyes. He gives everybody a lot of side eyes. He's smart. He's the only big leaguer in there. He's got to listen to me. He's got a different perspective. That's why I like having him in the round table so much. He's got to listen to me, you, Craig Elston, and Chris Ello be like, here's what they should do. Like, wouldn't you be, what if you had to sit in there with four people that didn't know anything, but never did professional radio and they're like, here's what you should do. Believe me. I'm constantly thinking about how Tony is judging us the entire time. Me too. Absolutely. I just, I like to just ask him questions. I don't ask. I was like, hey, in that situation, would you blah, blah, blah, but I also feel like he can sometimes be that perspective that he has as a former player. So good. But he can also be compromised a little bit. He will always, he will always side with the players. You will always side with the players. Yes. Yes. It's a good point. Good point. And while we probably as fans go too far in the other direction of being critical and like wondering, what, what are you doing there? Tony, sometimes I think is so empathetic to how difficult it is. And I do understand. It's such a difficult game, but he's going to side with the players more often than not. Because he was one. Yeah. Right. And grew up grew up. I mean, who else knows the game better than that guy with the way he grew up? And then of course, what he did, what he did for a living. I want Tony to know. I want him to understand that I do understand that part of it. Right. I'm not oblivious. I've talked to enough big leaguers. I know how difficult the game is. I want Mike Schilt to understand that as well. Yeah. Yes, we are to babbling heads on the radio in the morning and we talk a lot of silly things and we feel a lot of time, but yes, but I'd also like to think that we are savvy enough as baseball observers and fans to recognize the difficulty and, you know, just the toughness of being a major league manager or a major league player. I take all of my opinions and I put them through that lens first before I say anything and just, you know, spew it out. I understand that it's a 162 game season. One game does not make the entire year. Players will go through slumps and they will go through, you know, surges throughout the course of that season. I understand all that and I, I add it to my equation when I'm thinking. I'm not completely oblivious to that and I'd like Mike Schilt. I want to make sure Tony Gwen Jr. understands that I am not ignoring that completely. There also are legitimate times where you can add your opinion and sometimes criticism of your team. Isn't that fair? Bro, I listened to Ron Darling last night. There was a clip going around Luis Severino was pitching for the Mets and, you know, darling pitched. He's also a broadcaster pitched very well, right? And Severino didn't back up home plate and he's like, that's, it's inexcusable. It's absolutely inexcusable. It cannot happen. Tony is critical at times too. And when he is, believe me, I take notice when Tony is critical because I know that he, he has seen something that is worth observing and mentioning when he brings it up and he won't say he won't just off the cuff, be mad at something and, you know, let it spit out. But when he notices something, he will tell you and he will be critical for sure. Yeah. No question about it. Absolutely no question about it. Yeah, it does kind of stick out more when he does it. Right? You're like, ooh, you really, you really messed up because it's, it's now a glaring, something that happened. Well, I hope you guys get in a huge fight today. All right. More than anything. Not a fistfight because that wouldn't go well for me. I mean, I'm bigger than he is, but he's a lot faster and stronger and stronger and younger and younger. Yeah. More handsome and all of them. I mean, handsome is in the eyes of the beholder, but really, it's just, it's not really objective. Not this case. Not this case. I don't think it's a matter of preference in this way. Oh, man. No, it's just objectively more. It's just an objective fact. Yes. It's just more handsome than I am. Correct. Yeah. There's not one person that could disagree with that state. I don't think so. Really? I don't think so. Huh. Hannah and Carol, if he compared you to Tony Gwen Jr., she probably take Tony Gwen Jr. Yes. Probably. Not definitely. You're saying that everyone would definitely take Tony Gwen Jr. over the next day, you say he's just more handsome. No, no, no, she would say she'd say he's more handsome than you like if you had a hundred people out there and you line me next to Tony, you're saying all 100 would say Tony is better looking. Correct. There wouldn't be one out there. No, not one. He's more handsome. Because if there was one, then it would be subjective. Right. That would be an, that would be everyone can have their own opinion. You're saying this is a fact. It's a fact. Yeah. This is a hundred to none. This is a fact. Yeah. It's a handsome dude. I also don't want him to kick my ass. At least, yes. Ben, all right. Sorry about it. Sorry. Yeah. Look, there's things that you just wear and then, you know, there's things that are that could be debated. That's not one of them. I mean, some people just prefer a bigger guy, maybe a portlier, like a bigger dude. Yeah, maybe. But I think handsome is different. Handsome is not fit. Your face, his face, objectively just his features, what's wrong with my feature? He's just more. He's got better. Do I need to take the glasses off? Does that now am I? No. Can you see that mole right there? See? Then I'll get you now. You can hide that. Still not. Still still there. What I thought that it was a, that you have like something on your face. Yeah. Because I've never seen it before. I go, oh, no, he's on TV. He's got chocolate. Hey, this is like opening day notes. Have you ever studied Tony's face? Could he possibly have a, oh, all the time? A mark or two? No. Very handsome. Very handsome fella. Hmm. Yep. Sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. I'm saying objectively. You just know he's more handsome. I mean, I wasn't expecting it to be like 50/50 split here. Oh, it's definitely not going to be, but I do feel like sometimes you're a little bit delusional. Like with your, I think I could beat Steve Sugamoto at golf or Keegan Bradley, I would be as good. I'd be a good of a Ryder Cup captain. I don't think I'd need him half the time. I'm saying maybe like one out of, never, like a hundred. Just like with the Tony face. Just like one out of a hundred is all I'm looking for. Nope. Never. I'm trying to get you to realize lightning strikes. Nope. Circumstances are just perfect. All the, the universe comes into a line. A vision impaired lady might find you more handsome than Tony, but you're a blind girl. Just on vocal, vocal quality. Maybe vocal quality, maybe if she feels around to like what she feels, but visually I'm sorry. This one's getting a role to him. All right, fair enough. All right. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. Last question. You're stealing some round table pizza on your way out before you don't participate in today's round table. You know, be a good move is to sit in there for like 10 minutes and just watch you guys do the round table. Just really rub it in. Eat some pizza. No, I'm not going to be a jerk. I want to get over to camp. Yeah. I'm going to go get over to camp. See Bob. My buddy who's flying in today from Texas, he's already delayed a little bit. So got to pick up Bo, bring him down there and you know, get on, get on, we're on with the vacation this weekend. Well, have a really good time. You will be back on Monday, please be back on Monday. Paul and I will hold down the fort tomorrow. We will talk to Mike Schiltz at nine o'clock, you know, hopefully happy I'm out. Hopefully they'll win tonight and somehow and you know, we'll have a positive victory to talk about tomorrow. I know they don't play. I was just looking at you like really unlikely. No, he's insane. That would be nice, but more than likely they'll still be on a four game Lucy streak. We talked to Mike Schiltz tomorrow and we'll just have to just have to work our way through it. I'm so sorry guys. Not sorry enough to come in, but I am sorry. It'll be okay. We'll, we'll manage our way through it tomorrow. No doubt about it. And then I would as you'll be back on Monday for the rest of you though, please stay tuned. Join us for the 97-3 the fan pot raise round table coming up commercial free next presented by San Diego round table pizza and then Annie and Elston will be on at 11 o'clock after the round table. So that's it for us. Our executive producer and imaging director Paul Reindel for the soon probably now vacationing Stephen Woods. I'm Ben Higgins. I'll talk to you in just a second here on the round table on 97-3 the fan will be right back. Couple updates on stories we've talked about in the past yesterday mentioned Torrey Pine's highlum Taylor Fritz was in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon looking to get to the semis and it was a really good match against Lorenzo Mussetti. Taylor Fritz won the first set lost the second one in a tiebreaker. We were on the air. That was tough. 7-6-7-5 in the tiebreaker. That was probably the match right there because Mussetti won the third set Fritz came back though to win the fourth set but then in the end Mussetti took the last set 6-1 and advanced to the semifinals that that second set was probably the decider there that tiebreaker just a point or two making the difference as Taylor Fritz is eliminated in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. How many games did he play total? In a tennis match. Did he play yesterday because they went? So probably around 50. Oh my god. No. Remember that that one match a few years ago Isner and Mahut and it was like what was it like? 65, 63 in the fifth set. Oh my god. They went like 100. Oh my god. I have 28 games in the one set because there was no tiebreakers back then and you had to go. The longest tennis match in history was a first round men single. This was 2010. Yeah, Isner, Mahut. And I'm trying not exactly how 11 hours and five minutes. Yeah. But how many games did it go in the fifth set? It was 11 and 11. I'm going to say 70 to 60 to 68 in the fifth set. Normally you have to get to six to win. They've already played that. They've already played four sets. That would be like a baseball game going to the, I don't know, 137th inning. So you decided it says the match began at 613 British time and at 907 PM due to the feeding daylight play was suspended before the start of the fifth set after resuming on Wednesday the 23rd at 2.05 PM the record for the longest matches broken at 545 play continued until the final set was tied 59 games all at which point the daylight faded again three days. So play was suspended once more just after 9 PM they resumed at 3 40 PM on Thursday and eventually he won the match at 447 the final set time eight hours and 11 minutes. You know that tennis when it started just the final set was eight hours and I read that when tennis like when they started and was invented it was just like a leisurely game a gentlemanly game and they used your supposed to actually hit it back to the other person to get it. Yeah. So it's such an even pro tennis was that way and it was just I'm looking at you right in the eye and I'm like here you go and you get it right here you go is a faux pas if you actually like hit a winner like too far away from the person trying to like lob one if you try to smash one that was a very ghost that was amazing that's amazing well baseball started that way as well pictures pictures were supposed to like throw batting practice in the beginning of baseball like your job was to throw it in there. That's amazing and eventually obviously it evolved where the pitchers job became to try to get the guy out at home plate and not just your competitive spirit. Not just throw it in there for you to hit it. Just got a shot of Manny Machado's camp. My son is at right now one of our tier ones Chris is one of the coaches and yeah they just brought me any out big doing the big speech all the little kids out there Machado jerseys looks pretty sweet out at healing. So going to run down there and check that out and see how how everything's going today. The other story update is from a while ago and this one is a sad one. But the passing of Sean burrows they just released the corners report and we know that Sean burrows died at the parking lot of the little league fields on May 9th at the age of 43. The coroner said after performing the the test that that he died of a fentanyl intoxication overdose unfortunately which is I don't know it's going to make it any sad or it's it's sad enough that he's gone to begin with but obviously you know I say that just as you know the cautionary tale for anybody out there you don't know whether he was taking it intentionally or not but you know there's so many chances now where it gets in your system and it can just do such devastating devastating damage including death and that's what caused the the death of Sean burrows. Oh super super sad we have a shout out to his family too did you see that one this morning it's actually a shout out to her family. Do you guys see who passed away? Actress. Actress. Paulie. Hang on I got to get the shout out to her family that's a whole different drop them. Yes. This is BBC News. We're interrupting our schedules for the following announcement. Buckingham Palace has announced the death of Her Majesty Shelley Duvall has passed on then and had a really really really difficult life especially near the end she passed away she is 75 years old. For those in the the younger set famous roles that you might be aware of for Shelley Duvall. Olive oil in the movie Popeye with Robin Williams Robin Williams yeah a classic when we were kids Benny and then of course the shining I mean Wendy Taurus and and I when I think of that role you there's not a better actress in the world that you could have put in that role. No one nobody could have been better than that. So she passed away been 75 years old have been in really really poor health on the last few years and just an incredible incredible actress man. Dynamite drop it. Do you have anything else yet? I don't really have anything else to add. So why don't we take our last check of traffic here let's do that. Nice. Three the fan. Sorry I didn't have anything to jump in with any more thoughts on on Shelley Duvall. Okay. Do you get nervous for the round table? Yeah. Yeah a little bit. Oh. Your rivals back. Yes. Stoting Wind Jr. is scheduled to be here. I hope you're taking your place today actually in the round table. No no. He works here too. Right. He's not filling in for you. He's not filling in for me. No. I'm missing one. He's not special guests. No no he's not taking my place he also works here. Been traveling. He has his own keycard. But you you have been wanting to create a rivalry with him for some dumb reason lately you've really been. He just gives me a lot of side eyes when I make comments during the round table. He gives me a lot of sign-ins. He does. He's smart. He's got a big leaguer in there. He's got to listen to me. He's got a different perspective. That's why I like having him in the round table so much. It's the best. He's got to listen to me, you, Craig Elston, and Chris Ello be like here's what they should do. Like wouldn't you be. What if you had to sit in there with four people that didn't know anything but never did professional radio and they're like here's what you should do. Believe me. I'm constantly thinking about how Tony is judging us the entire time. Me too. Absolutely. Absolutely. I just I like to just ask him questions. I don't ask, I was like, hey, in that situation, would you blah, blah, blah, blah. But I also feel like he can sometimes be that perspective that he has as a former play. So good. But he can also be compromised a little bit. He always will side with the players. He will always side with the players. Yes. Yes. It's a good point. Good point. And while we probably as fans go too far in the other direction of being critical and like wondering what what are you doing there, Tony sometimes I think is so empathetic to how difficult it is. And I do understand it's such a difficult game but he's going to side with the players sure more often than not because he was one. Yeah. And grew up grew up.

I want him to understand that I do understand that part of it. Right. Not oblivious. I've talked to enough big leaguers. Yeah. How difficult the game is. I want Mike Schilt to understand that as well. Yeah. That we're not. Yes. We are to babbling heads on the radio in the morning and we talk a lot of silly things and we feel a lot of time like but yes. But I'd also like to think that we are savvy enough as baseball observers and fans to recognize the difficulty and you know just the toughness of being a major league manager or a major league player.
