00:00about it i'm i'm glad just jeremy otto that type of fan versus the type of fan we are and
00:07kind of
00:07where you're at because the tigers they are they're playing better ball but the mountain the
00:11hole they have dug for themselves is so large i just need to see a lot more before i truly
00:16can get
00:17the jeremy otto innocent uh joy on i i don't i'm actually like i resent the way they played for
00:26basically six weeks well basically the whole season they were a 500 team before losing scuba
00:30i must have missed we're being 500 is acceptable so look where are you at the last note before we
00:37go phones and we get texts i wanted to give you my original topic and i'm asking this in a
00:44very
00:44light-hearted manner is there anything dumber than the positional player pitching in baseball
00:52so that happened today you were kicking the twins ass so badly the twins went eff it we're gonna
00:57rock a positional player throwing 45 miles an hour and i looked at rico and i looked at evan and
01:05i go
01:05this is one of the things in sports you should just call the game if it's after seven innings you've
01:12gotten your money's worth and a positional player enters that game give everybody a ten dollar gift
01:18certificate for a beer and send them home the positional player there's no other example of
01:24this in sports you can play the backup quarterback he's still a quarterback backup goalie no problem
01:31your worst players or in the case of the red wings all their players cool fourth line minutes for
01:37everyone they're still players right this is the only example of essentially grabbing a homeless man
01:42from the front of the the play like the guys who would play the paint jugs right and they're
01:48pitching the only thing i can think of is that rare exception where you got to put the punter out
01:54there because you've run out of quarterbacks and now the guy who played wildcat in college sure
01:59call the game but yeah you're all the game because in baseball and i don't know baseball nerds may know
02:04the answer to this yes i don't recall ever when you go to the positional player pitching you come back
02:10and
02:10win the game that game is over fairly comfortable saying it's never happened and it's it's one of
02:15those things that it's like now where you could just look instead of doing the four ball hey just
02:20hold up four fingers go ahead and walk this guy we don't need to waste pitches just go down to
02:24first
02:25because that always to me the intentional walk like and if fans really have to do for but yes if
02:30people like it do do your thing i'm just saying if it's past six full innings of play and we've
02:37gotten into the seventh eighth or ninth and you're gonna put bob the plumber aka a shortstop who's
02:43now gonna pitch call the game give everybody a free beer call the game and please spare us the only
02:50way you like this is if you had this guy in a parlay or hit all the run all right
02:56mike that's the only
02:57way that anybody gets excited saying oh my goodness didn't realize i was hosting with brendan soresby
03:02no we could pad our stats no it makes no sense i'm just saying the only people who actually like
03:07this are sickos or the actual players who realize oh i can get an extra home run right i'm saying
03:13for
03:13our purposes it's it's painful to watch and it's like you're clubbing a baby seal like enough no
03:20because if anything i'm laughing at you because you got out you struck out and this guy's not throwing
03:26the ball but 50 miles an hour so if you don't crush it 45 i'm laughing at miles an hour
03:32david the text
03:34communicate do you agree or am i crazy wouldn't that be a cool thing to do where you just for
03:39not forfeit you call the game give every fan in the building 20 bucks for the team store thanks for
03:45coming out let the twins get on the damn airplane and you go big everybody can get back home because
03:49the twins are ready to get on the airplane today well they have a tiger destroyed them i guess i've
03:54never had a problem seeing it it's something different in sports something you don't never
03:58see okay like i've heard about the emergency goalie you don't really see that a lot but it's still a
04:02goalie no sometimes it's not sometimes it's the zamboni driver when oh you've heard of stories like
04:10that one and i think it was the washington capitals 30 years ago exactly that's what david but we see
04:15this several times a month there's a bit of a difference there okay because my thing is that you never
04:21see the comeback like oh my god the twins came back and won the game 13 to 12 the positional
04:27player came in and pitched three scoreless no the guy gets absolutely launched into space right unless
04:32his last name is otani i don't want to see it david text being jaded doesn't mean you have to
04:38knock
04:38someone that is hopeful sports are supposed to be fun first and foremost excitement hope beats
04:44cynicism that's adorable maybe we're just real fans support them when they're bad and support them
04:50when they're good oh there's a name for that it's called you're a sucker and a lemming if you support
04:56them when they're bad when do you get to cash in your fan points did you get your free seat
05:01at the
05:011901 club with all your loyalty points this is what i mean it's like talking to little kids you can
05:08have
05:08your viewpoint but see the first two texts want to come at me that's why garbage in garbage out i'll

05:14right back at you you sound like a 12 year old who just saw your first boob good lord sports
05:22are
05:22supposed to be innocent sports are greed and filth and anger sports are not innocent not to everybody
05:31mike this is where yes we are jaded to some people they haven't crossed that threshold yet and they do
05:39think that that's fun it's okay you can have not children the time for fun is when you're over 500
05:45i do not accept fun when you're 11 games under so you're fan gatekeeping now no i'm just giving you
05:51my perspective okay i just don't think it makes me bad i want a world series who cares about oh
05:58just
