Sugat

Because your pitching got hurt.

They already had Glass now for $100 million that they took from Tampa.

Cuervo.

Tony, stop doing that to Berger. I want to hear about a team full of Jake Bergers.

He's one of their stars. He's one of their name players.

He's a genuine Marlins star the last year.

They had Bell and Berger on the corners. Those are the glory days of the recent playoff Marlins.

I love their corner infielders. They just hit 450-foot bombs.

Yeah, most of the time.

You did say it, and then you throw a plume of smoke in our face. You're just a bunch of words.

You were accusing Blake Snell of something nobody's accused him of.

Billy, it's negative. Suspicious is negative.

Billy, you're odd, not suspicious.

Blake Snell Signs for $182 million and was unhittable the second half of the season. It's a big signing. Baseball is talking about it today because the conversation is, God almighty, Dodgers, knock it off. You can't hog everybody. And you're the first I've heard. Call it suspicious on a day of great celebration. I haven't heard anyone in the national media, not Kirchen.

Isn't it just baseball that he was Cy Young Award winner the year before and then has a bad half season? Because, as you said, nobody wanted him, even though what he got was it felt like what happened to him is he got Boris, right?

Mike Schur, you've been called out. I have not called him out. And you are right.

You are absolutely right on everything you said. You are a truth teller and Mike Schur's kids and Los Angeles fans. You're so right about this. There's a generation of kids that are saying, yeah, we get Freddie Freeman when the Braves are better. Yeah, we get Shohei Otani when he plays for another team.

Yeah, they're in it for Soto, too.

By the way, the AL East, everyone's in it for Soto, and the Orioles are better than all of them. Because Toronto's in it, Boston's in it, the Yankees in it.

I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys?

Stugatz, how do you say with a straight face, it doesn't guarantee you anything, it guarantees you get to the playoffs?

So it guarantees you that.

They could have lost to the Padres at the time Freeman was all shot up on medication and said so, shouldn't have been on the field. Betts was coming out of a slump. But we can't dispute this part of it, right? This part of it's weird. The Yankees used to be the team every offseason for decades in their rivalry against the Dodgers that got all of the players they wanted.

The fact that baseball now has a sport that is being won by a regional television contract that's better than the others, that allows them to get Blake Snell, they were going to... Aren't they in it for Soto too? Like they can get everybody and they can pay for everybody because Otani was just great business. They won the championship. Like now you just start mass collecting, go grab everybody.

What they're doing with the pitching staff, Billy, it doesn't matter that their pitching staff was hurt last year, that Kershaw was hurt. They're just going to keep getting giant expensive arms because it doesn't matter if they blow a $200 million contract here and there.

Billy, I am seeing here on the preview screen that our little show, one of the most popular in America, every time we land somewhere, I am always moved, Sugat, by people who fly in and drive in from a long way away, even if we're just at a local bar party. And we're doing another one of these for a game that we could turn this place into a real zoo. Jets... And Dolphins.

Game time.

Oh, I like that one.

Sensual Cody. Yes. I would like Sensual Cody to become a character that sells advertising for our show. Whispered. Sensual. Well, that's a little too far.

Bridge too far. Yeah.

No, no. No, no, not Joe Rose sound talking about blue cheese. Oh.

Wait a minute. No, hold on. He'll find it. Give him a second. Hey, you want some fresh fish? Give him a second. This is Joe Rose doing a live spot talking about fresh fish and getting watery mouth as he did his live spot. It was sensual in nature.

That is what we paid millions of dollars for to get from ESPN.

That is the library of stuff that ESPN could not wrestle away from us.

It's the only kind he tells.

1 o'clock Sunday, December 8th. I need the Dolphins to have that game matter. I need Aaron Rodgers to come into town. I need not so many quarterbacks to get hurt between now and then that Tim Boyle is starting for somebody. But that game, Billy, that day, what are we doing and where are we doing it?

Stugatz.

La Careta is a place where the best of the celebrations has to be the 97 Marlins celebration because it was Levante.

Speaking of onions, I just saw that behind the bit, as part of our 20-year anniversary celebration that includes Stugatz going to the top of the bestseller list, we have the memory here, Stugatz. And I just learned today an assortment of other details that I did not know about Billy and this onion and the subsequent hospitalization.

Guillermo now has to do his challenge of eating a raw onion.

Are you just going to start eating? Yeah, do I start? All right, go ahead. Let's hear the first crunch of this. Go. Oh, my God. That seems awful. That's a giant onion. I am going to vomit. Does the holding of a nose help?

You seem to be doing okay, though. You seem to be doing much better than I. Are you going to vomit? Is there any chance that you vomit on your keyboard?

Oh, I mean, he's eating it like an apple. And it's a raw onion, and it's horrific. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen. We are in the equivalent of a hurricane shelter in here. I feel like I'm watching Braveheart right now. Let me explain. If he throws up, we're all going to start throwing up. Because vomiting is contagious.

He didn't finish the onion. And this part of the story, this was interesting to me. I learned on air, I'm going to say, seven, eight, nine years later that that hospitalized him. I didn't know. I don't know whether they kept it from me on purpose, but I did not know that that was something that could get you sick or that it did get him sick until many years later.

But I mean, this doesn't even sound right. Did you know that you could go to the hospital for eating onion? He didn't even eat the whole onion. He took like four bites. I don't believe that the onion is the reason for his hospitalization.

I don't know. You think Billy's been lying all these years? No, I just think that he had another ailment that, like, what?

What do you think? Do you think that three or four bites of an onion are, if I told you right now, absent this information, Stugat, somebody takes three or four bites out of an onion, are they going to be hospitalized? Your answer to that's going to be yes?

I think it was something else. I think Billy's blaming us. I think Billy might be trying to get us to feel guilty because he had to suffer something that wasn't our fault.

A little bit of Stugatz in everybody.

Kidney stones? We think onions cause kidney stones.

There were no stones there. Then he ate three bites of an onion. All of a sudden, he's got kidney stones. What kind of quack is he seeing?

Oh, but no, the growing property of God Bless Football landing in your town after touring the country, Arizona and Chicago.

Closer to home to Billy Gill. The people that matter. The people show. These are Billy Gill's people.

Those are two different. things.

A prove-it game or a show-me game?

Billy downgraded it to prove-it game. Wisconsin.

I want to hear more about both of these encounters. You guys are going. This is a homecoming for you guys. This is where love began for you guys, for both of you.

I will answer your questions in a second. You guys did a deep dive on local malls here. I still haven't gotten an answer to my question, though. How did you meet your wife at Dolphin Mall?

And I don't know the backstory.

Us working together? Of how it is that you came. Whoa.

We managed to go a week without talking about Inter-Miami's manager leaving.

Really? That happened pretty quickly and out of nowhere. And I haven't seen subsequent reporting after I heard personal reasons because not a lot of people had that coming.

Are you interested at all, Stugatz, in this portion of it? For a while there, Mike was doing some insider reporting around that sport and obviously had very good sources in inner Miami, because if you were listening to the show, it wasn't surprising to you that Messi ended up there.

When he says they're not the biggest fans of him, I haven't talked to him about this at all, but I'm assuming that that would be because you've been on here talking about how they price people out and gouge people and that you gave up your season tickets. I hadn't asked you about this, but

Which people have no idea how much further that is than it used to be because you'll see during Art Basel, we are wildly overcrowded down here. So for you to get to those games was going to take you two hours every day during that time.

Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Don Levitard. Go ahead, Billy. Ask him your question.

Stugatz, you are seeing in the hat wear in the other room that Billy wears his allegiances on his head and the Marlins have fallen behind. Enter Miami and University of Miami football and maybe University of Miami basketball. Like the dwindling fan base. I might be carried away.

During that Final Four run, it felt like that. It felt like the Marlins were like seventh place locally. And what I wanted to ask you, Billy, because I was surprised by this yesterday, although perhaps I shouldn't be.

The Dodgers now got Blake Snell. Blake Snell has been just really exceptional for a couple of years now. He was unhittable in San Diego. He wasn't a lot more hittable in San Francisco.

And I can't believe that the Dodgers have the money to just add someone casually like this that I think that guaranteed money the Dodgers just gave him represents more money than the Marlins owe everyone they've got to pay in guaranteed money because the Marlins have only one

your contracts and sandy they've got sandy and just one-year contract so the dodgers the champions of now added blake snell and you put your such distance between yourself and the marlins to gots that you make it impossible for the marlins to compete i mean i i've heard all our lives the idea of ruining baseball but if you can get mookie betts and freddie freeman and otani and you can and and

Cuervo.
