Hey, guys, it's Francis.
Look, life moves fast.
Dating is a tough thing to find time for and to be intentional about, at least so I thought
until I found the leak.
I've found that the people I've met on the leak are people I really have a lot more
in common with than the people you typically find when you're just aimlessly swiping and
scrolling on other dating apps.
Instead of endless searching, I get a curated batch of profiles each day.
There's less noise, less back and forth, less flakiness.
These are just people I'd actually want to meet.
Have a conversation with, have a meal with, spend real time with, create that meaningful
connection.
Join me on the leak, download the app, and apply today.
Tricks it out, it gets out of it, and the stuff went game one.
Suck a dick in each shit out of the inn and, you fucking terrorist.
You just compare me to a big fucking piece of meat, 78, 80 grand, 78.
Like I want to do a Red Sox podcast, I have somebody to do with me, this cutter is king,
I think, really?
I think it's a sheet, actually.
Hello and welcome in.
Also number 16 of dirty water.
I'm your host, Abdel, as always.
I'm joined by two of the greatest, most insightful philosophers of the modern era.
First of all, you know, the word regent of trolls, cutter his keg, cutter, how you doing
dude?
Better now that the USA is in the, has finally punched their tickets in the semi-finals.
What are you talking about?
They punched their ticket after game three, but I don't, I'm going to mark the Rosen.
Probably Aaron Judges, they did.
I'm sorry, Mark, who, what would you say?
Mark Sista Rosa.
Interesting.
We're all so joined by Mike Brunansky, who's, what, you're in Vegas right now, right?
But I'm in Vegas right outside the sphere.
I just look at the sphere before I hopped on with you guys.
Here for a huge horse racing event, biggest one of the year.
Dave gifted me three entries to this huge tournament.
I am panic attack level about winning it, doing well, creating good content, like, oh,
everything.
Like, you don't want to sleep for a couple of weeks, guys.
This is a good way to do it.
You don't want to, you want to just think about one thing and have your family be like,
you're going to be in the basement again, looking at horse races.
Yes, yes, I'm going to be.
So this is a nice break for a while.
How long we do this?
So I can stop looking at colonial downs for Thursday and talk to baseball of you boys.
I love that.
Are, do we know how much it would cost to get a picture of Mark de Rosa's face with
the big like circle with like a cross through it, like a big, you know, cross out,
mark through it and just project that onto the, do the, the sphere.
I'm not letting this go.
I'm sorry.
You say advanced to the quarter final.
That's cool and all.
We are not moving past this.
Mark de Rosa.
What the fuck is this guy's problem, dude?
I need to understand like for those who miss this, what you didn't, but I'm going to recap
anyway, because why not?
Mark de Rosa went on air after the US one game three and so like, oh, you know, we know
we've punched our ticket already to the quarter final, but we still want to beat Italy.
And then in the next day, if you thought like, oh, well, you know, maybe he didn't actually
mean that.
Maybe like he found out shortly afterwards, but then you look the next day, how he set
the lineup, Paul Goldsmith, one of the worst hitters against right handed hitters in the
sport is in the lineup, Gunner Henderson's in there, which honestly, if you're playing
your best lineup, he should have been in there all every game anyways.
He should be playing with Bryce to rank his plan or what Braggman's playing.
He's better than both of those players, but like he hadn't been.
He viewed him as a bench player on the team.
And Henderson was in there and it's like, oh, he's playing this like it's a punt game.
There was bases loaded at one point and Clayton Kershaw was loading up in the bullpen, Ryan
fucking Yarborough in the year 2026 pitch multiple innings in a game that matters.
This guy thought that we had already made it.
Spoiler alert, they fucking hadn't yet.
You're the manager of Team USA.
You don't know how the rules work.
You don't know how the advancement works.
Guys, help me here.
Am I overreacting?
I'm going to defend him.
I'm going to defend him.
And this is the only defense I have for him, okay?
Somebody on that team in that program should have told him because their other report is
that as it hold on as a team, not just him, but the entire coaching staff and the players
were up till 2 a.m.
I used the air quotes for those watching on YouTube, celebrating after that win, okay?
How did someone not tell him?
There's there.
People have bosses.
There's other executives like we, if we screw up, our bosses will tell us.
Mike Fassoli or Boston Mac will say, you fucking idiots are morons.
Do this better.
Who are the people telling Mark Derosa that he was right about this and not saying, hey,
Mark, idiot, you actually haven't clinched yet?
Like, I think there should have been a safety check.
There should have been someone else to back him up.
You're not wrong, but this got missed in an executive level, which is bad for USA baseball.
He is the guy, that's the guy who reminds everyone, hey, we haven't clinched yet.
But there's one thing a major league manager is supposed to do, above all, above setting
the line up, above deciding who's going to pitch tonight, bullpen decisions.
It is mentally preparing yourself, preparing the guys for the task at hand.
Is there any bigger example ever in the history of the sport of someone preparing guys for
the task at hand, the last than what Mark Derosa just did?
I need assistance here, dude.
You're handed the greatest roster ever.
The least you have, I can make the lineup, like someone who never watched baseball before
could just pick random people from the lineup and the team would still win.
And so all you have to do is know the rules.
That's your only job, literally your only job, and you couldn't do it.
And the only executive that's higher up than probably Mark Derosa is Aaron Judge.
I blame it on him.
Captain America didn't get the guys ready to play when he finally got in the dugout was
like, yeah, why don't you start warming up Kersh?
You struck out also striking out to Greg Weisser doesn't say, and I'm just going to say
that.
If you strike out, if you strike out, if you strike out against Greg Weisser in like a
low leverage game where your team is trailing five in the sixth inning, understandable.
Just like his peak feasting hours in high leverage, you're going, you got to go to
prison.
I'm sorry.
It's prison.
It's jail.
Just can't let it happen.
This guy is not bill for high leverage moments.
He's not that guy.
Are you?
Are you?
Is there any party that's not that surprise boys because Mark Derosa has not managed
before?
He's just a dude on MLB network.
He's like, can I manage the team?
I mean, he was a former player, dude, like I remember I was a lot to watch him play.
You guys aren't.
I remember Mark Derosa.
I was like, was getting featured hours in MLB PowerPros 2008 when I was growing up
to on the Chicago Covey's brother like I'm well aware of Mark Derosa and his baseball
like abilities.
It's like, dude, I don't know what to say.
Like in any event that is taken half seriously, this is one of the most gigantic embarrassments
that you could possibly imagine.
If there were actual baseball gods, we wouldn't be in the quarterfinals because genuinely
you don't deserve it.
The cosmos should punish you for being that much of a fucking idiot, genuinely.
You going back to the judge real quick, everything that I have ever said came true last
night.
Like if there was one way where I wanted Team USA to lose, that was it right there.
Like, obviously you want USA to win, but if they were to lose, that would be the funniest
way.
And then I started looking.
He has four hits in the WBC, the actual tournament, not the exhibition games.
Not a single one of them was off of current MLB pitcher.
Jesus Cruz was his home run the other day.
Many Barrera, Chavez Fernander, and then Boke, Taga Hashi.
The agenda always wins, dude.
You know, like when you're in Shandonga, Pauling the agenda is inevitable.
I got to say, I feel the same way and the bar still in New York guys hate me for it.
Like hubs and those Yankee fans call me an anti-American.
But I am if they're winning and they're ahead and judges up, I'm okay with them striking
out.
Like I him failing, I can still work for Team USA and Rupert and judge to fail.
And I'm okay with saying that a lot.
Sorry.
Yeah.
That's like when he hit that Homer against Brazil in the first inning.
Like I was like, okay, nice to hit a home run.
Cool.
I was like, we don't need it.
We're going to destroy Brazil.
And then they call me Benedict Arnold for it.
Yep.
I got that too.
Yeah.
We don't need it.
No one deserves the Benedict Arnold, Arnold title more than Mark de Rosa.
That guy's got to be Italian.
Like he's got to be Italian.
The fix was in.
Like I'm sorry.
You're either incompetent or you were actively rigging the game against USA for Team
Italy.
It was a common Western man.
So all this being said, they've advanced to the quarterfinals.
Is there a scenario in your mind, boys, where they win this thing and two years from now,
he comes back and he's the manager of Team USA, because he, because the players love
him so much.
I don't think it's crazy.
I'm sorry.
It's no.
No, you can't.
I'm sorry.
But this guy is like, you know, like Mark de Rosa, this is the next guy that he chooses
to manage.
Yeah.
Man, these guys, you're going to get a fucking banger of a manager, dude.
He doesn't know the fucking rules to the event you're playing.
You can't trust this dude with a major big ballpark.
I went trusted with the fucking hokey.
What are you talking about?
When trust him with a hokey run, does he sucks riding your bro?
Like, you guys remember back in the day that Red Sox raised game, Dennis Eckersley is
actively shitting all over Ryan Yarbera.
It's a great clip.
It's like, I don't know how he gets guys out, like who's just genuinely asking the question.
I don't know how he gets guys out.
He's just throwing salad right down the deck.
Like what is this guy sucks?
And those years ago in his prime, his post prime Ryan Yarbera, it's like a real innings
for team USA in a game that matters.
You're a terrorist.
Okay, but the pushback is that the player is going to dictate who the manager is.
And if Judge and Bryce Harper and Roman Anthony like de Rosa, he's going to manage.
Bryce Harper might be dead in two years.
I don't even know.
He's definitely not going to be on the team.
I'm going to do a price for him.
I'm going to say he wants to play when you're having that quote, talking how it's like
it's not the Olympics.
In a vacuum, I can excuse that quote.
It's like, okay, he just wants really wants to play in the Olympics.
When you follow that up with the WBC that he's had, like dude, that's brutal.
Because you're playing like you don't really give a fuck.
You're playing like you don't want to be here.
You would have been judged or busy putting each other's thumbs up up their ass.
They're all over each other.
They haven't taken a single rep of, I haven't seen them take BP yet.
And both of them are like old for 28.
That's wrong from Judge and right.
Bill was really good.
I'll get him.
I was sleeping.
It didn't happen.
I know.
You would treat this morning.
I missed.
I was asleep.
So, yeah.
I was like, all I know is Jandarin, Homer twice and Roman Anthony over once.
And then I forgot the wet life savings in there.
I mean, I don't know, man.
I'm happy that team USA is going forward, obviously.
I've had so much fun with the streams.
It's a great job.
It's a great job.
It's a great game that matters.
I appreciate it.
I did.
Thank you.
And they're picking a momentum.
People are really starting to really care about the WBC.
And that makes me happy.
And I don't know, man.
I will say also, I hate the people who were just our anti this tournament.
You're so annoying.
You suck.
Who are those people?
That's not like a straw man argue.
Who's against this tournament?
It's not a straw man argue.
Check your replies.
I check mine.
I like engaging with people because sometimes, once in a blue moon, I find a person who's
mentally might peer and he's worth having a conversation with.
The other 90% aren't and are fucking worth ignoring for the most part.
But every now and then, there's like a spark for humanity where it's like, wow, another
living, functioning, breathing, real person with more than two firing neurons.
I thank you so much.
But there's real people who are like, oh, who cares about this event?
When we decide as a species, whether or not something matters, it is entirely up to
you the individual to decide whether or not this matters or not.
And enough people decide that this matters, the thing now matters.
In a vacuum, the Super Bowl does not matter.
In the grand scheme of unfeeling nihilistic being of the universe, it's just a random
sporting event where two teams play.
But enough people collectively gather around like this fucking rules, this matters, and now
it matters.
The WBC, Latin American teams seem to think it fucking matters.
The Japanese seem to fucking think it matters.
Wouldn't make us so much better than them.
Why are we better than them?
Why can't this matter?
To meet matters.
So guess what?
It fucking matters.
I think it matters to a lot of baseball fans.
The ESPN had their passing out at a tweet yesterday that their ratings are up 85% in spring
training for last year because people are watching more baseball right now.
I think it does matter to people.
I haven't seen those people in my replies.
I think people love this event more than I think they've ever loved this event because
of TVSA this year.
What do you think, Connor?
Think if you don't like this.
And then you're you're a Benedict Arnold.
You're the trigger.
You hate America.
It's I mean, you're like tarot schoolable.
You hate it.
Like what?
Guys, Gary Crochet is not there.
I'll say that.
Dude, people were hating on that.
It's like, dude, he just had a kid like, like people were like putting him in the same
group as Chris sale and Max Fried.
It's like even Chris sales in a separate group because Chris sale can't stay healthy.
So he wouldn't really can't go.
Yeah.
But like Max Fried.
That's the guy who, I mean, I think even if he did play, he probably would have played
for Team Israel.
So I mean, I don't know.
It's just like you can't blame here, Crochet for not going to play.
I didn't know his wife already had the kid, but I mean, he didn't want to travel all
around the world.
I will say also it's more patriotic to not play at all than do a tarot school buildup,
which is just show up for five seconds against a team that we were going to beat five
50 runs anyway.
Pitch for three innings.
And then leave.
He didn't jump them, though, that's my, that's my seventh outfielder.
Hit lefties.
Let's go Nate.
Let's go.
Nate fucking.
I'll play jazz.
Tism.
He did.
He did.
He did.
He did.
By like a wide margin.
Sure did.

Red socks have owned this thing, boys.
Red socks have owned this thing.
And hugged.
This is, he's your guy, so I'll let you wax poetically, but throw up an Anthony stuff
has been unbelievable, like that you mentioned judge and Harper.
They were like fighting each other at home plate to like hug and kiss from an Anthony.
We hit that home run the other night and to see him get these accolades and these bouquets
from baseball and fans, like it has been very fun to watch and you were first on this.
You've loved the more than anybody from day one.
So I'm sure for you, this has been a lot of fun.
It is.
And I've said before, like there's probably a lot of players on the red socks who hate
me.
Who hate my fucking guts?
And honestly, I get it.
And a manager.
Manager hates you.
Yeah.
And you know, like there's a bunch of guys who don't like me because I criticize things
like that.
I see happening.
And I completely understand that because they look at me and like who the fuck is this
fat idiot online?
Like what does he have to say about to me about anything?
And they are complete.
I completely understand them having that mindset.
Roman Anthony will never have that problem with me because I've never said a bad word
about him and you're and you're never going to catch me saying a bad thing about him.
He's basically like in my entire array of sunshine.
He illuminates my existence.
He fucking all he knows how to do is play great baseball.
He plays the game the right way.
He's amazing.
He's amazing.
He's a good bass runner.
There's nothing he can do.
There's nothing he can do wrong in my eyes.
I love him so much.
He's the best.
And that him getting thrown out at home was the third base coach's fault.
Yep.
Might as well have Kyle Hudson over there.
I totally.
That's all I have.
He's like, he's not going to fucking send me he sent me like, oh, well, fuck, I got
something to go.
For all the people calling him slow, judge got thrown out at a play that he should have
beat by 20 steps yesterday.
Also, I say Roman slow is just wrong.
Just factually incorrect.
He's not fast.
He's he's 55% house print speed.
Like he's slightly above league average of your sprint speed.
That's not slow.
That's that's a slight of average.
I'll take that.
Yeah.
And I'm not until all the use the word, but I'll use it like he has aura.
Like it just he, he has it, whatever that is, he has it.
And it's sort of see what Brezlo was banking on by maybe not being aggressive offensive.
I think it's a big mistake.
They should have been more aggressive.
But I'm sure in his mind, he's like, see, I told you it, it's he's going to hit 30
home runs.
He's our guy.
It's been he's been the breakout star that the baseball's with the biggest star.
He's been the biggest star for Team USA, in my opinion.
Well, dude, like he did with Judge couldn't he got a hit in a clutch moment.
Like we drove that run in to make it a free run game.
Well said.
Obviously that home run that he just fucking annihilated like that was such sexual energy
radiating off of that dude.
It really was.
I love the player.
I love him so much.
No, it's like the Jersey thing where it's like you can't wear a Jersey of a man who's
younger than you.
Like brother, I'm rapping my Roman Anthony Jersey because I'm already older than him.
He's that young where he's fucking younger than me.
Like I'm rapping that Jersey's so unfathomably broadly.
He's double.
He's double plus me.
So I can't do it.
I just can't.
My kids can I can buy it for them and I can live my care.
See them wearing it.
But I can't do it.
It's just Roman Anthony just has his protagonist energy like he has like this is the main
character.
He this is the main character of baseball.
It's like what's up, dude?
His name is built that.
Oh, absolutely.
I'm so big on name theory.
I'm huge on name theory.
So like when I like it, buddy, you looked a little confused.
Name theory is just the idea of like you hear a guy's name and you're like, yeah, that's
a superstar.
That is a.
Okay.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Gotcha.
What one so though?
Yeah, that's a superstar's name.
Absolutely.
Like fucking a lot of Nate, a lot of the best players in the game pass this check where you
just hear their name like you're like, yeah, you don't pause.
Like when you hear I'm trying to think of like an example of like a player you hear and
like you just kind of pause for a second like, okay, yeah, I guess so there's a bunch
of them.
But like fucking I wish I'd do it right now.
But like Spencer Jones, Spencer Jones is not, yeah, that's not a superstar's name.
It's just not a superstar's name.
It's like Gary.
Yeah.
You just feel that he is a superstar's name.
It's like really good name that you you.
It's got punchiness.
Kirik.
Kirik cold.
And Kirik cold.
No.
That's an ace picture name.
Come on.
It obviously depends on the like the position and everything but like when I read Roman
Anthony, yeah, Red Sox top prospect Roman Anthony, I'm like, this guy was born to be a
superstar.
There's there's no pathway where this guy isn't one of the best baseball players of his
generation.
That's how he looks man.
That's how he looks.
I'm glad we get to watch him play some more and but and he'll thankfully he'll you can't
take him out of line up now.
Mark Doros is an idiot.
You guys are right.
But he's got to play has to play every game.
T.C.
You know what I was thinking about like Spencer Torkelson.
That's not a superstar's name.
He's sitting like the absolute max out of his name potential like he's a really good player.
That's not a superstar name.
I'll give you one.
You're like this log.
Danny Johnson.
That's a guy name like that's just a guy and he is he's just a guy.
He played up to like the the 50th percentile outcome of his name or 100 percentile outcome
of his name is like, yeah, your name is Danny Johnson.
You're not going to be a superstar in this league.
It's not going to happen.
Like a black hero junior.
That's a superstar.
Danny Johnson.
That's a guy.
I'm telling you, dude, it's undefeated.
It's it's the name theory test man.
Like if you're ever on the on the fence about a prospect like Vaughn Grissom, I'm like,
yeah, that's not a player.
That's another good one.
That's another good one.
That's another good one.
That's just a guy.
So do we know who they're playing in the quarterfinals and it a or playing and those
maple syrup.
Oh, let's go.
Oh, I can't wait for that hog call.
You got you down with Canada.
You got every anti-Canadian Mounties or lame north of the border.
America's top hat.
Like I need to leave it all needed all needed all.
Let's go.
I can't wait.
I had fun like where I buy the trade out for great Britain.
It's like, let's show these Limey fucks what real baseball is.
It's like.
I don't even play for team Canada, bro, because I feel like all the best nailers have
the tool.
I want to pull it up right here.
Just citizenship with the Dominican Republic.
So they're going to have to borrow Abraham to I guess he's been going off.
I just I can't with a Toro man.
Let's see.
Let's see people.
People tried to get attached to a Toro.
Oh, I was not allowing it to happen.
Big maples on the squad James Paxon.
Yeah.
Kind of control.
Uh, James Italian talent.
I just say, you say, you say, Boonella already.
Yeah.
I said Josh.
Josh.
So Tyler O'Neill is on it too.
I think.
Tyler O'Neill.
Tyler O'Neill.
And probably don't run.
Uh, Ernie Whitt is the manager Justin Marone more now.
The old twins first baseman is the head coach.
Paul Kwantle.
What's the future?
How the fuck did Justin more know when an MVP man?
He was really good.
But like, fuck.
Come on.
David Ortiz stolen from David Ortiz.
Everyone says Jeter.
Yeah, Jeter was stolen from David Ortiz.
Jeter kid.
I'll never get over the director.
Jeter was literally the second best shortstop on his own team
for the majority of his career.
But yet he was there.
Absolutely tragic, brother.
Absolutely tragic.
What do they have for pitchers Canada?
Yeah, James and Ty own dude.
I mean, who's even pitching for us?
I don't even know.
Like who's learning what I don't think Mark D'Arosa knows cutter.
He has no fucking idea, dude.
Don't have a Mark D'Arosa.
He has no clue who the fuck is pitching for USA.
Like in the upcoming rise.
Honestly, it's pretty scary.
Because like other than skeens,
like who's actually throwing innings for us, dude?
Well, is this skeens done?
Is this skeens doing one more?
I thought he was doing one more.
I thought I saw that he recorded back to camp.
Oh, if he's done, then yeah, we're coming.
No, that was, um, that's who the whole fucking did.
That was, uh, who's the other way?
No, somebody else left camp.
Web, blog, web, leave.
No, shh.
Uh, for the royals.
No, I don't think the Reagan's is pitching for us.
Michael, Michael Walker, Michael Walker, that's actually pretty good.
It might have been when I woke up after I fell asleep and missed that whole game.
I think I might have opened my phone and thought I saw skeens.
No, he's got a, he's got a still performing front of his, his, you know,
lady would be done.
He's got what or no, but he's putting USA on his back.
Is your seat or post the other day?
That was pretty good.
The Bobby Whit one.
That was the it.
Bobby would do.
You're so good.
It just shows I need to watch more royals games.
Bobby would junior is fucking unbelievable.
The shit he was doing in that game, just multiple diving plays.
Uh, like he hit that, the jaren to ran double, which is obviously just like,
I'll, you know, the Bobby would junior double.
There's like the only two guys in the entire sport who could do that.
Orbit girl probably do it too.
So it's like the top three, those three, but like he's unbelievable.
Like I'm so happy for the royals.
Like that they got him locked up forever because like dude, he's, if he stays healthy,
he's an easy Hall of Famer.
That's, that's totally agree, totally agree.
Like in the conversation for face and baseball type player.
Like that's how good Bobby, I don't know geography that well.
And as the season does and goes on, people figure that out pretty quickly.
Are you that far away from going to like games there?
Is that a couple hours?
No, not that far away.
Uh, I mean, I'm like probably four half, five hours.
That's bad because Bobby would junior play on a Red Sox off day.
Let's go 100% just looking at the average baseball fan knows how good he really is.
No one was watching Kansas.
It's Kansas.
Yeah, you're right.
Like that 2024 season was like a top three shortstop season ever.
Look at his Savon page from last year.
It's filthy.
Like, you know, he's the fastest player in the league.
He is the hundredth percentile sprint speed lead the league and out of
of average with 25.
Like that is car purchase alien.
You're an alien cartoon alien.
And then you look all of his bad ball metrics are just fucking unbelievable.
It's not like, uh, you know, like he's limited offensively because
confidence stadium, that's a big fucking outfield man.
That's a tough, it's a tough offensive run environment to play in.
And like he's only going to get better because like he still strikes out
probably more than he should.
And like as he gets older, he's going to cut that down.
See, yeah, there's a, there's our Bobby with junior appreciation corner because he
deserves it, man.
He's unbelievable.
It air judges not Bobby with junior does.
Um, what do you guys think of the Cal Raleigh, a Rosarana thing?
Am I, I'm completely mentally blanking on this?
What is this?
So the other day, uh, when Rosarana came to the plate, like he went over to
dab up Cal Raleigh and Cal Raleigh would not acknowledge him.
There was guys are teammates in Seattle.
And he would not acknowledge him.
It was, I thought it was, I had no problem with Cal Raleigh doing it cutter.
But that is a ball.
He moved.
That's a guy you got to play with for six months in like a month from now.
And he's like, no, didn't, the left him hanging and Rosarana went after him
after the game in the press.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, like what the fuck, man?
Like what's he actually actually going at it?
Like I don't know if he was joking or not because he was saying it on Spanish.
I was having one of my buddies translate it for me.
But yeah, so he said like go to hell.
He was like, he can go to hell.
He said like the only good thing about him is parents parents are nice.
And then he said like he could shove all that nice, that nice stuff up his ass.
And then he walked away.
You got a hope that's a bit right?
That that's just what they're doing.
What come on?
Crazy, crazy video likes.
I tweeted, um, it was like, did you ever see the Lizzo and Rick Ross meme where it's
Rick Ross without a shirt on and it says shirt on and then, and then Lizzo, this isn't
powering.
Yep.
And I was like, um, Kobe, when he pushes, when he runs through, uh,
Pogasau's chest versus Cal Rally, when he won't shake Randy Rosarana's hand.
That's very true.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, it's, I eat like just shadow.
This is a bad week for girl.
Yeah, it was a really bad week.
His shame got snatched by BAM on a bio, dropping the most unethical 83 points you've
ever seen.
43 free throws.
Like I'm sorry, dude.
I don't feel bad about that sweet real basketball heads are telling me like bad
take fair enough.
I'll wear the bad and take, but I don't feel bad for it.
And if anything, I'll double down on it.
If BAM on a bio is dropping 83, I'm sorry.
You got to reevaluate where the sports at, bro.
You got to completely reevaluate what we're doing here.
I'm like BAM on a bio dropped 83 points.
I'm so sure, pal.
I'm so fucking sure.
Many are saying, uh, Kobe had a more ethical 80 point game.
But then I saw someone quote, tweet that and said BAM at a bio has more ethical
sex.
So that was fucking hope.
That was so fucking fun.
That was a great tweet.
Like, what about that?
Tatum, that Tatum tweet that got like 300 K likes.
Did you see that one?
No, I missed this.
I missed it.
He said, like, he said Tatum would have gotten to 81 checked himself out of the game
and then texted Kobe.
And it got like, it's at like 270 K like, that is so disgusting.
I'm a Tatum fanboy.
I hate.
That's the worst we ever heard.
I'm going to go dislike.
How do I dislike a tweet?
I don't like, what's that beam?
It's like when they're slandering your goat, like you have no choice, but not your
head and the tree because they're just correct.
That's fucking so true.
Oh, Fisoli, when he hears this party is going to hate you guys for laughing at it.
Fisoli is going to kill you.
I'm with you Nick.
I say, I say bashball, reevaluate your state at the same time, though, like
people are going out for BAM on a bio for being unethical.
No, dude, fuck it.
If I can get a record, I'm going for it.
Like, I don't blame him.
I don't begrudge him at all.
For being shameless to put himself in the record bugs.
Do it.
Be shameless.
What else do you play as basketball in March for the silly part was like Miami
fouling to get him, like more like that, that's when it gets kind of good.
Absolutely.
Quarney.
That's the word.
Yes.
But like, yeah, at the same time, I don't blame him.
Like what else are the money he playing for in 2026?
Nothing, but exactly.
That's like the most thing funding that's happened to them.
Since, you know, LeBron was there.
I mean, they did go to the finals to Jimmy Butler, but whatever.
It doesn't count.
I blanked that out.
It didn't happen.
Wayne Wade does have a very weird statue.
Very weird Dwayne Wade statue outside that stadium was like fucked up looking.
Yeah.
Google that sometime does not look like Dwayne Wade's.
All this will be good.
This will be good.
It's tournament season and every game feels like an upset waiting to happen.
But there's a clear number one seat in the snack bracket, Blue Diamond,
Amin's and more.
There's ain't no play in nut mix.
It's Amin's cashews and pistachios in top tier Blue Diamond flavors,
like honey roasted, smokehouse and roasted sea salt, freshness guaranteed.
Five grams of protein per serving, no filler, no weak links.
The official snack of the big 10 is a dominant mix from tip off to the final whistle.
Upgrade your snack game with Blue Diamond, Amin's and more the flavorful nut mix.
That's what a board that is not Dwayne Wade.
What are you talking about?
They're so bad with these.
Like what happened to the real like where's the Michelangelo of this era?
Motherfuckers cannot make statues anymore.
Remember a couple of years like a Cristiano Ronaldo like have like a bronze bus statue and it was like.
Yeah, terrible.
Yes.
Yeah.
Even the Brady statue doesn't look amazing.
Like that.
They unveiled that's why I know that the Dwayne Wade statue sucks.
I wrote about Brady statue not being good compared to some other bad ones and Dwayne Wade and Ronaldo.
Obviously we're on that list.
I think all the Michelangelo's now are like on Twitter just scrolling.
Like why do you aren't where you can doom scroll on Twitter for two hours a day?
Well, there's no incentive.
Like there's no wealthy benefactors.
Like the billionaires aren't investing in the art community.
They're investing and ruining your fucking life with AI investment.
So like there's no one.
There's no patrons paying the fucking statue makers, man.
It's a dead art form.
What the hell?
That's really the meme of him shaking his head looking up to the sky came from.
It was right when they revealed it.
He was like trying not to laugh.
So he was looking up.
And then his son just started dying laughing right next to him.
That's so fucking funny.
Yeah, that statue is horrible.
That's one of the worst statues I've ever seen.
And that's hands on the concern that was the modern era, bro.
I have to send you this video.
It's actually.
I'll watch that video later for sure.
I love that.
Well, WBC gave us a lot to talk about.
The Red Sox have been playing spring training games, though.
None of us were watching.
And you know, rightfully so why the fuck would you the WBC is on bow?
Go like, what are you watching the fucking spring training games for?
You know, Alex Quora came out and now it's basically Caleb Durbin's our third basement.
Yeah.
Might you take this first?
Well, what do you think?
How you feel?
I'm flying with it to start the year as long as as Myers over at second.
Like, I don't know, they're tied together.
But like, if he doesn't make the roster and IKF is the opening day second basement or some sort of rotation that does not involve their best defensive player at second.
I will feel the same way about Alex Quora.
You feel about walk to Rosa from the other night.
Like I he has to make this roster like it is a joke.
I should on Alex Quora would never.
That would never in a billion years happen on his watch.
Like I will always give Alex Quora credit for keeping his guys ready to play.
Like, oh my god.
I agree.
But it's de Rosa level stupidity.
If Myers not the opening day second basement.
So, so I can I'm fine with Durbin in 30s.
Earned and he's played a good third base.
He plays better third than second.
According to everyone in Milwaukee.
But like, I've seen enough over a second.
I know all my second basement to be.
So that's the combination of the infield to start the year.
I can live with that is is my my take on.
What are your thoughts?
Yeah.
The only way I would be okay with the opening day second basement not being Marcelo is if it was.
Ro me and they just had a platoon split.
But he's dead.
So.
I'm not even worried about that.
Um, but no Durbin.
Yeah.
We assumed he was going to be the third baseman.
So.
I think that's probably his best position.
And I think that's about the last five defensive runs saved over there.
Like he's not just like a good third base.
He's a great one.
Great defensive third base.
So I'm completely fine with that.
It's like you said, but and I'm going to double down on this.
I can't bang this drum enough.
Opening day second basement Isaiah kind of a let up.
Like I every time I say it becomes like another percentage point more real.
And like, I need everyone to mentally prepare yourself.
And I had someone talk to me and say, that's acceptable.
Because you know a Myers bat against lefty fellas. I need you to guess right now. What was I KF's OPS against lefties last year?
Let me know I just I need I need to ask
Or you just start with the five
Let's start with the five great question. Yes, it does
48 is not a gregiously off mud. That's not a horrible five thirty-two
You are within four points
Five thirty six put him on our dozen team five thirty six against lefties. He has reverse splits
It's not like the other reverse split is eye-popping by the way. It's a six sixty eight against righties
But a five thirty six against lefties
Meyer was also unplayable against lefties last year fair enough
He had like a four like a four twelve OPS against lefties, but like
Dude
Like this is your guy like yours. Hey, that's your platoon partner for
Myer I'd rather just see Meyer there every day and see I KF ever it's guys are bad baseball players
He's not good. I won't keep stressing this and like
Just think about it. I just need you guys everyone marinade and sit with this I K up opening day second basement
No, no, and if and if that thought warifies you thank God because you have a brain
But second starts great. I don't Andrew Monasterio because that's who should be there
That should be his platoon partner genuinely
And manual valdez was our opening day twenty four second basement
Fuck me and Seattle I KF genuinely like that's the same caliber of player like they're on that same. He might be worse
At least he was young and had like you could be a little bit optimistic
No real like there was yeah, there's no hope for I KF I KF is I KF
He's bad. He's bad and he's forever bad. I'm sorry like I'm never gonna see him in the lineup and think like yeah
Awesome, what a player like it's just genuinely he's I feel bad for him because day one
He's starting with the same like a lack of equity as like KK her Nanda's the year he played 90 games at shortstop for us
genuinely like
It's that fucking bad
It's gotta be my it's gotta be my and it's gotta be Monasterio or some player that's actually good or could
In you know do positive things for the Boston Red Sox because I KF ain't fucking it brother
You gave him six million dollars to God cried Brussels was not good
I don't know man really not
It's not it
I was gonna say like obviously because what Durbin being guaranteed third is just like that makes the Meyer thing even more questionable
Because it's just like is Avenue second base and it's like
Man like are they really gonna fucking IKF over him is that really gonna happen?
I mean because I love Meyer dude
I think like that's a guy that is an important piece of this team. I think that he needs wine time. I do I
Do too and if you're gonna go pitching as the big focus this year on prevention
He should be the second base a great great defensive player
Fucking shortstop let alone the second baseman. Yeah, well and then and when Trevor store eventually gets hurt
They'll have to make that move so then then you will get IKF every day because Meyer will be over at short
I'm sorry
It's like oh, well, you know he's too bad against lefties to play at shortstop like I'm in find one fine to platoon partner
You can't find like a defensive
Shortstop that bats right handed anywhere in the league like I'm sorry like you can find defensive specialists like they exist
They're not nearly as valuable as
You know guys who can actually hit
Where Stephen drew. Where's the modern Stephen drew? Oh, I
Did see buster only you you've made a couple of good videos. I know it's good rants on
Mazataki Yoshida and his what role with this team you've been very evident you've been very very very
Powerful with your statement that there's no place room to play. They should hide him. Why is he still here?
Buster only suggested maybe there's a trade there because he's hitting so well in the WBC
Maybe he's the guy to go to the Astros eat some of the money send to the Astros the even a bat
Is that a route you would take would you trade him at a deal? I don't know if that's an esok parades deal or not
But are you trading Yoshida even though he has been on fire in the WBC without hesitation
If you can parlay a hot Yoshida WBC into getting him the fuck out of here and maybe bring an esok parades to
Because that's the acceptable way for Meyer to not be here
Is parades is your third baseman. Yeah slide gerb and over to second and all of a sudden
Like that's a deeper lineup like that's another 20 home run 20 home runs there bare minimum from parades if not more
and
That lineups looking a lot a deeper a lot more scary in general even though like I'm not the biggest esok parades guy ever
My problem with that trade is if you're giving to ran up if you're giving to ran up
It's a complete non-starter for me. Bran is a better. He's in a higher tier of players a higher class of player from esok parades
Like and listen, I've been critical of Durran
I've said like you know if there's an alpha or that should be moved it should be him
But even saying all that like I'm not going to disrespect his abilities and not to say that parades is a
On that is his peer in terms of ability. He's not like Durant's better
And and parades is best year. He's not putting up a fucking nine more season and no no universe does he have that within him
So yeah, in a heartbeat like like before the sentence is finished. I'm fucking signing away the trade
I see a lot of astros fans
Wishing they traded for Durant now after the WBC. Oh his stock is way up. Another red socks player stock up huge
They got in the right field. These look great and right building made it defensive playing right build too. You look good
And he's got noodle on. He's got no fun, but they're done now, right? They got knocked out because italy. Yeah
Yeah, now italy's number one in that pool. I was just checking with the variables are for Friday
It's gonna be
Logan web versus uh
michaels soroka
I love that matchup. That's a good matchup for tv sake. That's a good matchup

Most interesting things that have happened for sure. It's 100% between the red saw the team USA
The manager on a brain fart and then the red socks players dominating. I mean I wait a lot. Look awesome
Close night. Yeah, that was nasty nasty. I saw people disrespecting into like a kid in the Miller
It makes the Miller is unbelievable. Dude, there was not a what I don't think there was like one better reliever in the second half of last year in the American league
Then Garrett Whitlock maybe chat only chatman guys you coming out is right cut is right. Yeah, it's just it was yet literally just as he made a role as a chatman
Whitlock was unbelievable man. Respect Garrett Whitlock like he's filthy completely filthy
I love that. I love the Garrett Whitlock. I love the red socks love. I love the red socks are doing well the WBC makes me happy too
I do too
Been fun because I don't I really don't like this event and I don't I'm one of the people that I'm okay with school
Going back to his team. I know you guys hate that
But they never would have gone, you know, like I hate the I hate the the you know dip in your nut sack and you know what?
I hate even more dip in the fact that he tried to make like the decision like the LeBron decision
And then he didn't even stay like he brought all this attention to the decision and then
Yeah, I'm gonna go back to Tigers. He was wishing Washington. You're right. That's fair
And then today he came out and was like, oh, I don't I don't deserve this criticism
I've never seen someone with more
He's the most obvious Dodger ever
This is Dodger mentality
I don't know man. Just don't go. I get it. I completely understand the self-preservation argument
I completely get I'm about to go make 450 million guaranteed completely get that just don't go then
Like I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go pitch for three innings in a game where it didn't matter if I pitch or not
We were gonna win
But you know in the game in the game that like we needed them
Yeah, and then after the game you blew ball all the fans and say oh, yeah, I'm gonna come back
I I never felt this emotion. I'm gonna go talk to my agent my team
But I'm gonna hold this big press conference
And then he comes back and he goes back to face a bunch of 18 year olds in spring training
Is there
It's a non-zero chance though. He he like changes the mind and comes back and pitches on Friday, right?
Like he may just wish he was she again and come back and pitch like that
I'll call him an American hero
If there's one thing that like I can get patriotic over it's our athletes, man. They make me happy
No matter how much like I can despise like what this government does a lot of the times
I can always fucking go back to like
That boy can play like that boy can pitch that boy can hit
And it's just like I love the the people that we can
I focus on the individual love the individuals and that's hogged ill on politics here under
Anyways the war on Iran
That's good way to end it
Anyway
On that note, we're gonna get the fuck out of here. Thank you all so much for tuning into this installment of a Jordy water
Uh, I've always been as always have been hogged if I'm in hogged ill underscore
You can find a mutt at Mike Manatsky and you find cutters king at cutters king
We're gonna get the fuck out of here. You'll love y'all have yourselves a fantastic evening go USA and go socks
