Chapter 1: What sparked the debate between the WBC and the World Series?
So WBC's been a big topic. Venezuela beat Italy last night 4-2. They'll play Team USA in the championship tonight. So while you were gone, I'm not going to play the clip, but... Well, you were gone. Aaron Judge was talking about playing against the Dominican Republic the other day.
I don't know if it was specific to that game, but in terms of what this tournament's been like, he says, in terms of the atmosphere, bigger and better than the World Series, the passion these fans have representing their country, representing some of their favorite players, there's nothing like it. And so if you then...
take a poll around the station, if you will, or if you listen to the radio station, we heard Tommy Lugauer in the overnight. He was not, and that's the reason why I'm playing this, he was not pleased with the comments that Judge made.
Chapter 2: What did Aaron Judge say about the WBC's atmosphere?
This was on his show the other night, post-game, I think it was Sunday night. Why wouldn't you just see the crowds here? By putting down the World Series? So now we're putting the WBC over the World Series. That's what we're doing. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. If baseball is going to put this stupid freaking thing over the World Series, then get rid of it. Okay, fair enough. You get his take.
Then there's C-Mac in the afternoon with Craig. I don't like when we talk about this that we have to throw the World Series in there for context. Just say you love this. Just say the atmosphere is incredible. Stop trying to make it that it's in some part better or on the same level. It's not. It's just not. So that's those two opinions.
Well, Tiki has an opinion of his own for guys like Tommy and C-Mac. Some Yankee fans and some baseball fans are taking it personal that Judge said that. Yeah, get a life. Chill out. Really? Get a life. Honestly, if that makes you mad, you really have nothing else in your life to worry about. We should fire Tommy down. Did you notice Evan in the middle there? Yeah, right.
And he's essentially, like, laughing at himself because, like, Tiki's like, if you care about things like this, you know, you're the biggest loser on earth. Get a life.
Chapter 3: Why are some fans upset with Judge's comments on the WBC?
He's like, I don't go to spring training and score spring training games. Man. That is pretty good. What I heard in that whole thing is two guys that just have had it. And maybe the warmer weather will change their opinion. But Tommy's already had it with the overnights and the nights. And Tiki has had it with the sports fan dweebs. That's what I heard. He works with you. Yeah, I know.
Well, that's why. He's just like... He can deal with it with Evan, but when he starts hearing other sports fan dweebs, he then just overflows his cup. It's funny. As for that Venezuelan game over Italy... There goes Garcia from first. It's just an upset at field. Jacob Morsi won't get there. The hit parade continues, and so does the fiesta for Venezuela and Miami.
Yeah, that capped a three-run seventh inning as they win 4-2. That was FS1 with the call. I got a question for you. Yeah. Do you think they let Nicolas Maduro watch the game in prison? It's a great question. I thought you were going to say you think they release him if Venezuela wins. No, that's not happening. That's like a bet they would make. I'm going to say no. I'm going to say yes. Really?
Chapter 4: What are C-Mac's thoughts on comparing the WBC to the World Series?
Yeah. Huh. I'm assuming this baseball team is anti-Maduro, right? You would think so, but it's still got Venezuela on their chest. That's true. That's a good question. Think we can find that out? Ask Grok or Chad. There's no way Grok will know that. We've got to have a human. We've got to have someone on the inside. Inside information. Yeah. Well, Venezuela. Corrections needs to call in.
We'll play the U.S. tonight. It will be Nolan McClain against Eduardo Rodriguez at the outset. Here is McClain wanting to do his part. It's honestly an unbelievable experience for me. As a competitor, I just want to go out there and compete and try to win and try to put my team in the best spot possible. when I do come out of the game.
We've heard a lot this morning about Carlos Mendoza and McLean and Mendoza holding his breath and hoping that everything's good. McLean says this was courtesy of SNY. He's been in constant contact with his manager. We've been talking almost every day, just kind of updating him on how I'm feeling, how my body's holding up, and all sort of playing going forward after WBC as well.
And that game will be later tonight. Spring baseball, you've got the Yankees in the race today. The Mets do play the Marlins. Mendoza, Carlos Mendoza, was asked, though, about one Mark Vientos. Remember I was saying he did not have a very good WBC, didn't play well. Well, in spring action, he is three for 36. So it's been a rough go. But as Mendoza says, don't you worry about him. He's fine.
I had a conversation with him yesterday. Every player is going to go through stretches, you know, where nothing is going their way. Hopefully this is one of those here in spring training, get that one out of the way. Yeah, get it out of the way so it doesn't happen.
You know, I'd much rather have a guy struggling in spring training and then come out of spring training and do well as opposed to a guy that's tearing it up in spring training and then starts the season like, you know, one for 25. All true. I would agree with you. That is true. You mentioned Jerry Jones before, I think, G. I think I heard you say that. So I just found the clips.
This was on the Cowboy website. So they have a Grand Prix event that is not only in Vegas. They go around the city. So it looks like they're going around Arlington and – AT&T Stadium's a part of that, and I'm sure he's... Sounds like exactly what Stephen Ross has done down there at the Hard Rock. Right, okay, fair enough.
So here was Jones, Curtis, I think he was with John Machoda, but this was from the Cowboys website, talking about the team, and he says, and you'll obviously see and hear the noise around him, he says, happy with free agency and what's ahead for them.
What we've done on defense, and that plus what we have set up for the draft, plus what we really have coming back from our veteran defensive players that really didn't play that much last year, injury issues, things like that, gives us a lot of promise. I thought it was fun with the sound in the background with the cars racing around. He says we're close to being really good.

Chapter 5: How did the Venezuelan team perform against Italy?
And they were playing good going into this game. They were playing great and too many penalties. The one thing I would just say, they were having so much success, and I think they did get a power play goal last night, but they've had so much success in the power play with Gabe Perrault in the lineup when JT Miller was not healthy. Doing a great job. I agree. Doing a great job.
Gabe Perrault is no longer on the number one power play, and I'm like, why would you mess up a good thing? I guess because your captain's coming back and he has to play? Maybe. I don't know. By the way, JT Miller got his gold medal because of what he did on defense, not what he did on offense. He and Vincent Trocek were awesome in the Olympics playing on the penalty kill. I don't know.
I want to see more young guys play, give them more chances, more opportunities. We know who the older guys are that are going to be here next year. Let the young guys play. The Devils beat the Bruins in overtime. In overtime 4-3. You're not going to come in here and stand in there and smell like garlic all the rest of the morning. The Islanders in Toronto tonight against the Maple Leafs.
All right, thanks, Jerry. See you next hour.
