00:00How about Jaron Duran and the Grand Salami last night, Curtis?
00:04Little granny.
00:04Team refuses to lose.
00:06They refuse to lose the Red Sox.
00:07And the Yankees lose.
00:10That was a jump out of your seat moment last night, the Grand Slam,
00:13the right center.
00:14Awesome, awesome, awesome.
00:16I think they're going to be ahead of the Yankees after this weekend.
00:19All right.
00:20You think they can catch Tampa Bay or is it still?
00:22The Rams lost again?
00:24I don't get ahead of yourself.
00:26Well, I'm asking the question.
00:27Yeah, I guess.
00:28I mean, it seems like with this team, anything can happen.
00:32But you're right, though, Curtis.
00:34You got four with the Yankees, and you sweep that series,
00:38and then you get the wild card series at Fenway Park.
00:43And no Chapman last night.
00:44You had to sort of cobble that together.
00:46Excellent shot by the pen by my man Tracy.
00:49And, whew, unbelievable.
00:52Connor Wong, I thought, was going to be the punchline this morning,
00:56but thankfully, Jaron Duran came up in the 11th and hit that thing right out of the park.
01:02Awesome.
01:03And you know what?
01:04Monastery, there was a grounder to short.
01:08I thought it was going to be a double play.
01:10And the hustle of this team, because that's what preceded the Grand Slam,
01:14would have been a double play, would have changed the whole way they approached Duran at the plate.
01:19Like, you can't turn the game off with this team.
01:22You can't.
01:25And it doesn't matter.
01:26I mean, we talked about this yesterday.
01:28It was the exact opposite not so long ago.
01:31But they get down late in games, and they just find a way to win.
01:40And they did it again last night in front of the hometown fans.
01:46How would you guess a baseball is going in Miami?
01:50How would you guess that team is doing?
01:52Well, not very good.
01:53If we listen to Jude Lee, they're profiting like crazy off of the rest of the years.
01:58I mean, what is Jeter?
02:00Does Jeter have a piece in it?
02:01I was just going to say the same thing.
02:02I was like, where's Jeter?
02:03I have no idea.
02:04There was like 12 people in the section where Jaron Duran's ball landed.
02:07I know.
02:08Like, it was.
02:09I know.
02:09Well, that's a lot.
02:10There's a whole second deck that is totally vacant.
02:13Yeah.
02:13It's basically, if you look, you know, right past first base, there's like five people there.
02:18The whole rest of the ballpark.
02:20It's not like Miami is in a burgeoning metropolis.
02:23Like, the city is popping.
02:25No, but I think that's the thing.
02:26And we talk about, like, baseball and, like, kind of like the notoriety of it.
02:33Like, Curtis, you're always talking about, like, how the sport's coming back.
02:35Especially more for, like, TV ratings than anything.
02:38And we talk about this here with the Red Sox all the time.
02:40Even when they were losing, like, people want to go.
02:43And I get the stadium.
02:44It's more about, you know, going to Fenway Park than anything else.
02:48But we think about how many teams we've talked about.
02:51Like, whether it's crappy teams like, you know, Baltimore or Miami.
02:56Even good teams like the Dodgers.
02:57And, you know, like, they never, like, sell out these baseball parks.
03:02And when you look at the Red Sox, whether they're winning or losing, it seems like, you know, Fenway is
03:07always pretty thick.
03:08So, you know, I feel like that's a problem that Major League Baseball has just in general.
03:14Whether it's, you know, maybe the Sox, the Yankees, the Cubs.
03:19Well, yeah.
03:20I mean, Chicago, there's always people there.
03:22There are certain stadiums that you see that are always full of fans.
03:27But you're right.
03:28Doesn't it seem like it's more of, like, the stadiums have less fans than the ones that actually you go,
03:33like, wow.
03:34There's always a lot of fans at that stadium.
03:36You know, I feel like there's just a handful of teams.
03:38And then the rest, they're like, even the Tampa Bay Rays.
03:40You know, they're leading the division.
03:42And they're a team that's.
03:44They're homeless right now.
03:45Well, I'm saying even when they had a home, it was like no one ever showed up to those games.
03:50It's like, it's weird.
03:51This is Buck from Connecticut.
03:54Good morning, Buck.
03:57What's up, Greg?
03:58My guy, Wicky, my man, Queen Courtney.
04:01How are we?
04:01Curtis, my guy.
04:03What's going on?
04:04I just wanted to say, I was watching that replay of Mick Jagger there cross home plate after he hit
04:12that home run.
04:13I got to say, I was in a trance.
04:15I could have sworn I saw Dave Roberts cross home plate.
04:18And I'd like to call it here right now.
04:20So, the Hawks are winning the World Series, my man.
04:22That's it.
04:23That's all there is to it.
04:24Okay.
04:24All right.
04:26You're on record.
04:27Got as good of a chance as anybody else.
04:31Got to get there.
04:32That's it.
04:33So, the Marlins through 68 home games are averaging 13,000 fans in that stadium.
04:41That's amazing.
04:42And that's just paid customers.
04:44God knows how many people actually go to the games.
04:45Right.
04:46What was the Jaron Durant stat that Mitch had this morning?
04:50I think he said, what did he say?
04:52Most RBI.
04:53RBI in the ninth inning.
04:55Something along those lines.
04:56In the ninth inning.
04:56Yeah.
04:56Something along those lines.
04:57In Major League Baseball.
04:58Yeah.
04:59Yeah.
04:59I mean, he's third on your team in home runs.
05:01So, I don't necessarily.
05:03I think, you know, you guys.
05:04Maybe Curtis brought it up.
05:05You're probably going to DH Roman Anthony.
05:07And then you're going to keep the ran in left field.
05:10And, you know, you just.
05:12Your pitching's great.
05:13Your bullpen's great.
05:15And that's what it looks like when we've talked to all the baseball experts.
05:19That's what they say.
05:20It's all about pitching in the postseason.
