People who know the sport in their bones.
Chapter 3: How is Caitlin Clark influencing the WNBA?
also feel something watching Messi that they don't feel watching anybody else.
He got 88,000 people to Jordan-Hare Stadium at Auburn. They put the War Eagle out there for him. You know, that stuff, that does not happen. The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. That's my entire contribution to soccer. Being sort of amazed at how many people love soccer. Because I'm not one of them.
Have you seen the New Yorker cartoon?
Chapter 4: What challenges does Chuck Todd face watching the Nats from Florida?
No. It shows the pitch and it shows the position. All of them, it's like kick, kick, kick, catch.
It's not for me. It's not for me. It's wonderful if it's for you.
Chapter 5: What is the NFL's response to Brendan Sorsby's draft situation?
Just, the soccer poets, just shut up. Stop trying to get on everybody else's shoulders to elevate yourself into something important. You're not. Stop. I've gone through this with baseball poets. I love baseball. I don't want to go through it with soccer poets. I just don't. It happened again last night.
Chapter 6: What does Dan Graziano say about the supplemental draft rules?
I am now staying... Not possible. Yeah, I am now staying up far longer than I want to. I'm staying up to the ends of these games. It's after 10 o'clock. I don't want this.
I'm getting an extra mile and a half every night. Just walking? No, just walking.
It happened again.
The neighborhood watch.
The Nats, first of all, go up 2-0 early on solo home runs.

Chapter 7: How has Caitlin Clark impacted women's basketball viewership?
They head into the... Top of the ninth up 5-4. Yep. Head into the top of the ninth up 5-4. They've turned the game over to the bullpen. Meatball Nicholas has given up a couple of runs, but then left the game with the win. He left the game with the win. Again, 5-4. They bring in, first they bring in Poulin, or did Poulin start the game? No, they brought in Poulin.
Brought in Poulin, but brought in him earlier. He did fine. And then they hand the ball in the ninth because they don't want Poulin to close. They hand the ball in the ninth to Orlando Robalta.
Chapter 8: What insights does Tony share from the Mailbag segment?
and Orlando Rebalta, and it's exactly the same thing. Gets two outs. Gets the first two outs. Then they put up Kyle Schwarber, the most dangerous hitter in baseball. And this is righty-lefty.
Less dangerous as a pinch hitter historically, and he was scratched the day before with a minor injury. Yeah, back, right? But to see him swinging in the on-deck circle like...
Also, he hit a couple of loud fouls that were very, very loud.
He drops that back. Yeah.
Now it's a very long, it gets to 3-2. It goes beyond the normal amount of pitches. It goes to like 10 pitches or something like that. And he walks them. Okay, now you don't want to intentionally walk him, I guess, although I don't know why. You want to pitch carefully, but again, a couple of loud fouls. Kyle Schwarber swings the bat faster than anyone in baseball.
I mean, he's like a coiled snake. Is that fair to say? Yes. Coiled snake. They end up walking him. He immediately goes out. He's unlike Raphael Devers. He doesn't send the pinch runner away. He doesn't do that. He understands that they're putting in somebody fast because he's the tying run. Then they bring up Derek Hill, a righty. In the number nine spot.
In the number nine spot, and for reasons unknown to me, the baby manager over-manages, and he brings in Lovelady, who's a lefty, by the way. An uncomfortable-looking Lovelady. Yeah, and this is... Look, he's 33 years old, the manager. Maybe he makes mistakes. This seemed to me to be a mistake. Now, you could justify it by saying...
That Robalta went, you know, 10 pitches or 11 pitches with Schwarber. But Robalta had gotten two outs and nobody had hit him fairly. Lovelady comes in, gives up a two-run home run. You go, what? Two outs, two strikes.
Yeah, one-two, right?
