The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Hour 2: Best Limited Fake

Episode Date: August 26, 2024

Before we get to another incredibly strong category, Best Limited Fake, Dan wants to discuss the quirky situation unfolding tonight in Boston where Danny Jansen will catch an at-bat started by him. He... also wants to celebrate Chris Bosh, who made it back onto the basketball court during Goran Dragic's farewell game in Slovenia. While Dan wants to celebrate Bosh, Stugotz wants to know whether Dragic deserved a retirement game. Plus, Billy is tired of hearing that Aaron Judge is on a historic pace. Then, it's time for Limited Fake! Who had the strongest impression this year?

This is the Don Leventor Show with the Stugats Podcast. Stugats, I would be remiss if I did not tell you something that is happening tonight because the Boston Red Sox don't have anything to play for and Cora is interested in making some magic. Are you guys aware of this story? Because it's a really fun one. It's never happened in the history of the sport and people like Tim Kirch and Mike Schur
Starting point is 00:01:16 just love the details on this story because of how ridiculous it is. The Blue Jays and the Red Sox played a suspended game. And in the time since the suspended game, which needs to be replayed tonight, Billy, do you know this story? I do. Okay, cause it's just- We were debating whether or not the Red Sox were out of it.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Four and a half. They're not out of it. They're one sport out of it. They're four and a half back in the wild. Yeah, I'm like a little run. Little push. I was doing the same thing. Thank you. Okay, I mean, I don't think they're good enough, but okay. They can catch the Twinkies of the wild card. Yeah, make a little run, little push. I was doing the same thing, thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I mean, I don't think they're good enough, but okay. They can catch the Twinkies of the Royals. I know, but it's just cheating, because the wild card is such a bogus thing. They're not as good as the Orioles. It was good for baseball. Costas. Yeah. Agreed, it is good for baseball,
Starting point is 00:01:58 and I love the wild card, but to say they're in wild card contention and to say they're good, those aren't synonyms. What'd you think of Scott Service being dismissed? The Mariners, I have been following them closely and I was heartbroken for them because their pitching has been a half a run better than everyone else's pitching and I thought a Rosarena was gonna bring them something
Starting point is 00:02:21 and then the first game I'm watching of him, 0 for 5 with five strikeouts, Andy drops a fly ball. He's actually fitting right in. Are you just following Randy Arosarena's career? Last year it was Rays, now it's Maners. I've been watching a lot of baseball. I love baseball. Eight wild card teams have won the World Series.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Dan Spandum goes wherever Randy goes. We know that, I mean. I am not saying that the wild card team cannot win the World Series. I am saying the Red Sox aren't actually very good That's what I'm saying You like cow Raleigh? Yeah, big dumper. He's got a great nickname big dumper big dumper We should get his average up a bit if I'm gonna be honest put it on the pole at LeBata show is big dumper a
Starting point is 00:02:59 Good nickname because I don't feel like it is a good nickname. I think it's a bad nickname power-h a catcher, it's a great name. A power hitting catcher, you kidding me? Boom, boom, boom. I imagine somebody takes a big shit on the plate, that's what I imagine. Well, because of his standing position as a catcher, you could see it happening. So here's the story, Stu Gotts.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Danny Jansen, because the suspended game he was playing for the Blue Jays, and because tonight he will play for the Red Sox, it's not merely that he will become the first player to play for both teams in a game in Major League history. But because he's the catcher, and I don't know if you guys know this part, and because he was up to bat when the last game was suspended and he had an 0-1 count he is going to catch the ball for what began as his at bat. What? He's gonna be the catcher on it at bat that began as his but the pinch hitter unfortunately will inherit it because it was only one strike if it were two strikes on it then it would be Danny Janssen's at bat,
Starting point is 00:04:06 where he would be, he'd be the great all time riddle of, how, explain to me how it is that there was once a catcher who caught his own at bat. That's amazing. Right? It's amazing, catching his own at bats. I mean, it's worth watching. I don't feel like Roy is finding this as interesting
Starting point is 00:04:24 as the rest of us are. I don't think feel like Roy is finding this as interesting as the rest of us are I don't think that Chris Cody is finding this is interesting as a baseball oddity I don't think that that these guys are finding it as interesting as I do So if he has two strikes and this pinch hitter struck out would that strikeout be charged to the danger? It's yes the way and I didn't know this before reading this story This was not a rule that I was familiar with but because Danny Danny Jansen only had one strike, the at bat is not his. But once you get to two strikes and at bat, you've done more than half of the at bat. And therefore, the at bat is yours.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Well, no, because if a home run happens, he doesn't get credit for the home run. If he's got two strikes. And a home run happens, it's his home run. Well, then I would serve up a meatball as the catcher, right? I don't have to do anything. I give the hitter a favorable pitch that they hit a home run and I get credit for it. I actually believe that the only way that the at bat counts against you is if it's a failure. I don't think that if it then succeeds in your, the ball comes out of your bat. Well that's not fair. If he gets his failure, he should get his success.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I mean. I'd still serve up a meatball. I don't want to strike out accredited to meat. So wait a minute. You guys, let me just see the argument you're making. You're saying. Let us see it too. Let me, so let me see what you're saying here.
Starting point is 00:05:37 So Danny Jansen goes 0-2. Right, he owns the at bat. He owns the at bat. And then someone hits a home run. You want me to give that home run to Danny Jansen? All he contributed to the at-bat was the two strikes. It's his at-bat. Yeah. If he gets the strike out, he should get the home run. Right. No. Why? Because he's responsible for the majority of the failure.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I get it. He's not responsible for the majority of the success. Not if he's calling the pitch. He could be responsible for the success as well. The old number one. Exactly right, you tell the pinch hitter, hey, right here, right down the pipe. Yeah. You guys aren't interested in baseball. We've got the legitimate chance that a bunch of shit is gonna be decided the last weekend of the season,
Starting point is 00:06:19 like that everything has stakes on it the last week of the season. That's why the wild card is a great addition. It's, can you imagine that once upon a time, only two teams from each league made it? Crazy. It's hard to imagine how unfair that is. Like you could win a hundred games
Starting point is 00:06:36 and not make it to the playoffs. Eh, too bad. They went straight to the ALCS and the NLCS. That was a thing. They didn't have multiple divisions. But you guys aren't interested in baseball. Mike, you were following the Mariners for a while. They just can't hit at all.
Starting point is 00:06:52 They've got great pitching and they cannot hit. They cannot hit. But if you would have told me, hey, the first career postseason touchdown pass of Marcus Mariota's career was to Marcus Mariota, I would have been more in, because football. The thing that's happened with the Mariners, they've coughed up a 10 game lead in 51 games.
Starting point is 00:07:12 The Strohs got good, though. The Strohs got good after starting like 7 and 19 or something, but what's happened that's super interesting there is not since the 69 Mets has a team gone from 10 up to 5 back this quickly and it's just because they can't hit at all. On 8 occasions a team has won 100 games amidst the playoffs. Well that wouldn't happen this year. No, never again.
Starting point is 00:07:36 It will never happen again with these rules. So many sports going on. Some people have to decide where do they get their tickets? Do I get baseball tickets? Do I get football tickets? I'm going to a sold out football game this weekend in the Swamp, guess where I'm going? Where?
Starting point is 00:07:49 Game Time, that's right. Game Time, the Game Time app. Do yourself a favor, create an account, use a promo code Dan. I had an interaction with a fan on the train today. He was saying, man, I wanted tickets, but they were so expensive. I told him legitimately in person,
Starting point is 00:08:03 promo code Dan on the Game Time map. He thanked me. He said, I've already done that because you're so good at these reads. I was like, all right, well maybe get your wife to sign up for an account. That's a cool way. She's never used promo code Dan.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Came up asking soliciting strangers. Where do I get this? I don't know, he was wearing a you can't get the show shirt underneath, which is my favorite way to approach me in public. Terms apply, last minute tickets, lowest price guaranteed game time Mike if you forgotten what this is called it's not you can't get the show Mike it's not you can't get the show man the show is not available to you
Starting point is 00:08:38 show it's no he was he was saying like where are you guys now I was like oh you can't get the show, depending on whether or not you have a Samsung Smart TV. Kick, save, and abute. You don't get the show. Stugatia from my friends over at Simply Safe. If you're like me, you're constantly thinking about the safety of the people and things you value
Starting point is 00:09:00 most. After a friend told me about a break-in in his home in which many of his most valuable possessions were stolen, I knew I needed to secure my home with the best.

Starting point is 00:09:54 Don LeBattard. You were that kind of sad this morning taking the barrage of anger from Stugatz because you hadn't booked him enough interviews. The only reason I keep bringing this up is because you not are throwing a big Party on Thursday. You're doing it and I want people to support what you're doing because Stugats has not made this easy Stugats Well, you know, I well, yeah, you know, this is the Don LeVatar show with the Stugats I suppose that we should start getting used to the idea that football is going to come in I did just want to stop for a second and celebrate, if I can use that word, that Chris Bosch was back on a basketball court as part of loving
Starting point is 00:10:56 Goran Dragic and everything that Goran Dragic represented to the NBA because Goran Dragic is an athlete, super confusing to me, how he can be that successful at that size. One of the more confusing basketball players of my lifetime to see him be that good, that savvy, and to have so much love around him
Starting point is 00:11:17 because of the kind of teammate that he was, that Chris Bosch would play for the first time since February 9th, 2016, that Jokic would show up, that so many people would show up for his retirement game, because in some ways, he's a pioneer for those guys from a different place that get to believe that they can be in the NBA because they saw Goran Dragic do it.
Starting point is 00:11:40 It was really nice, although a little bit bittersweet, to see that Chris Bosch was back out there because Chris Bosch could still be good today. He hasn't played since February 9, 2016, and it was sort of heartbreaking, everything that happened there. But Chris Bosch could still play at this age in today's NBA, especially how it's changed. I think it's a cool story that Bosch is back on a basketball court for the first time. I think congratulations. It's worthy of that moment.
Starting point is 00:12:11 You're congratulating him. I do wonder, as you're telling the story, if Goran Dragic is deserving of a retirement game. Oh, come on. I'm just saying. I didn't have that on my bingo card of like, man, when this guy retires, they're going to have a whole game around this guy. It's in Slovenia.
Starting point is 00:12:24 It's nice for Chris Bososh, but he's 40. He could not play in the NBA today. Oh, just shooting jumpers? Yeah, but at 40 years old. At 40, no. I mean, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron is still playing out there. LeBron is in a whole different. LeBron is LeBron, Chris Bosh is Chris Bosh.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Dirk was a better comp. Once guys of that era started approaching that, yeah, I guess Dirk could be the last guy on a bench if they said, hey, you just camp out there, make corners, but they want something more for themselves. You don't think that Chris Bosh could give an NBA team what Nicholas Batum was giving people last year? No, I can't.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I can't possibly believe that at 40. It's just a strange thing, but I do think he would have been good like three years ago. The thing that I wanted to mention about it, two gods when you say it's a good thing It wasn't a good it wasn't just a good thing It was bittersweet to me to watch it because you're celebrating that he's able to run up and down a court But you're also realizing this person got six prime years stolen from him in a way that really had to hurt
Starting point is 00:13:26 when he's a Hall of Famer and he would have been for at least six of those years if you don't want to give me all eight at least six of those years he could have absolutely played at a high level. Thousand percent in the way that the game evolved which he was actually a part of that evolution his game would have aged quite well he He was still really good defensively. I think the lateral movement might have gone in, keep in mind, six full seasons of the body wearing down. Those bigger guys tend to depreciate a little bit quicker, but yes, absolutely, especially when he went out with the blood clots. Miami was really well positioned. They had just
Starting point is 00:14:02 made that trade for Goran Dragic. And there were all sorts of questions out there about David Blatt's Cleveland Cavs. They could have kept the thing going without ever actually having to rebuild it. And the Klotz got in the way. I'm just saying Goran with a retirement game, that seems like a little bit much. Like David Lee was a better player. He didn't get a retirement game. He just retired. I mean, I don't think that's right. What do you mean? like David Lee was a better player. He didn't get a retirement game. He just retired I mean, I don't think that's right. I mean David Lee was a better player double-double machine Oh David Lee was nice. So is Goran in his day. Goran was was quite nice
Starting point is 00:14:34 But like like year five into his career. Were you saying to yourself man one day? What are you guys doing? I mean, yeah, like David Lee could have had like a game in st Louis, Missouri and like a high school gym or whatever. They would honor him in Gainesville and we wouldn't think anything of it. This is him being honored in his home country. He was a huge, the biggest basketball star
Starting point is 00:14:56 up until that point that that country had pumped out. Stugat, at the risk of alienating the audio audience, I simply wanna show you some video of a performance At the risk of alienating the audio audience, I simply wanna show you some video of a performance I have never before seen in the history of music. There are a couple of music items that I wanted to get to today that I haven't had time to get to. The reunion of Oasis is something I did not see coming
Starting point is 00:15:21 because those brothers really hate each other in a way that is super strange and wonderful. But the thing that I wanted to show you was pink at Gillette Stadium. She is performing in front of a really large crowd and she is basically being spun by high wire like through a through an arena in a way that I have never seen before. I've never seen a famous person. This seems more impressive than what Tom Cruise did at the Olympics, where she is upside down and hanging from a string, and she is flying
Starting point is 00:15:55 all over Gillette Stadium, and many people are pointing out that not only did she not throw up, but she kept singing throughout all of this. She is just swinging all over Gillette Stadium and I've never seen a performer do this before. Now Pink has been doing this for like a decade it's what she's known for it's her thing but I've never seen it done to this level of extreme. Is this video sped up in any way? This looks crazy. No, this seems super dangerous,
Starting point is 00:16:25 and she's been doing a version of this, but not this. This is not something that I've seen done before where she is just simply swinging all over the stadium in a way that's very high and seems very dangerous. Now that is a packed stadium. I wanna show you what an empty baseball stadium looks like and how it is that an Oakland A's fan might end up with not one, not two, but three foul balls during a game
Starting point is 00:16:54 because nobody cares about Oakland A's baseball. No, you're painting this in a way that like, there was just no one at the stadium, so he ran and got three different foul balls. No, he caught three foul balls in the air. Like this is insane. Regardless of how many people are there. Correct, it is insane, but there are a lot of empty seats
Starting point is 00:17:14 around him that give him all that room. He caught two with his, he caught all of them with his glove, right? All of them were caught with the glove? Yeah, all of them in his own row. Like he's maybe moving moving in the third one. He just gets some elevation. That's a web gem right there.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Chris, what Dan is saying is, good luck doing that at Yankee Stadium. I get what you're saying. If it was a fully packed stadium, it might have gone to someone else. He had many seats to. He was like an outfielder with range. He got rangy within five seats.
Starting point is 00:17:42 But all within one row, that's really impressive. What are the odds? Too old for a glove. Oh, Lord. He has facial hair. Yeah, but if you're in a good foul ball area, I'm okay with a glove. It's not a lot of facial hair.
Starting point is 00:17:55 That looks like a young Billy Gill, if I'm being honest. I've seen- I still can't grow that much facial hair. I've seen people throughout, that is South Florida facial hair, if I've ever seen it right there. A young man, a young teenager from a Hispanic neighborhood. This A's thing is really sad, right? Which part?
Starting point is 00:18:13 The fact that they're not going to be playing there anymore. I know the A's like turn off all the comments, any of their social posts when they try to hype up the final home stand. I just never thought that this was actually a day that would come because when I was young, the Oakland A's were the marquee franchise. They were the most exciting team in baseball. They had the biggest stars. And I can't believe they were talking about a day
Starting point is 00:18:36 in which they're not gonna be playing inside that crappy stadium because that's also something that was around when I was very, very young, that exact stadium. That's the problem. Yeah. Jose Canseco got inducted into the Hall of Fame last week. He's also doing a home run derby down here in October.
Starting point is 00:18:51 The A's Hall of Fame. Yeah, the A's Hall of Fame. Are you gonna go see it or are you gonna go cover it? I need to ask more details because when I ask for details, I go, what's this now? I was told he wasn't supposed to announce that yet. So as things go with Jose Conseco, it seems like things are off to a great start.
Starting point is 00:19:08 And by the way, there's also always the chance he doesn't show up for that. And then I'm just watching a bunch of people I don't know in a home run derby. You think Rayford Austin got a game? That's a great question. He's tired of the game for Rayford. Yeah, probably, like, if he wants to do it
Starting point is 00:19:21 at like a famed street ball court, I get it. Guys, he's a Balkan legend. Like he's- We did celebrate a lot when we got him down here. He was on Show Pride. He had a great career. And then every year after he left, we celebrated him coming back and he never did.
Starting point is 00:19:36 What was the app? Was it a Vine? I think we did a Vine for when- Super viral Vine. Billy does love his baseball. And I was wondering, Yankee Stadium had a lot of activity this weekend. A-Rod is now officially an old-timers game person. How did you feel about everything happening with the Yankees this weekend?
Starting point is 00:19:56 Aaron Judge getting to 50 home runs very fast and A-Rod celebrated returning to Yankee Stadium. I think they brought back the 2009 Yankees. I guess, wow, I'm not even thinking about it. It's their 15th anniversary. I'm assuming that's why they were back for like old timers day or whatever. I felt happy for A-Rod that he was kind of like
Starting point is 00:20:16 embraced by the Yankees fans and celebrated. I could do without the Jazz inside the dugout hanging out with all those old Yankees. Like, I'm happy for you, Jazz. We broke up, I hope I never have to see you again. Like, I don't need to see how great your new relationship is, not for me. Not for me.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Enough of this. Last week we watched him tell this story on and on. God, that story felt endless. For 15 minutes just to get to the punchline, he gave a little kid his phone number. Like, we get it, okay, you're such a cool guy. I don't wanna see him anymore. I don't wanna see him doing so well.
Starting point is 00:20:46 I don't wanna see how great his numbers are. Now that he's with the Yankees instead of the Marlins, I don't see how happy he is. I don't wanna see it. If you break up with me, even though we kind of broke up with him, I guess we sent him away. But if the relationship's over,
Starting point is 00:20:57 I don't wanna hear about your C from you again. I don't want you to be, I don't want you to have happiness. That's what I'm gonna say. Once you're out of a relationship with me, I don't want you to have happiness. And if you do'm gonna say. Once you're out of a relationship with me, I don't want you to have happiness. And if you do, keep it to yourself. Are you blaming, are you criticizing
Starting point is 00:21:08 the length of other people's stories? I mean. I've just recently sent a video, 15 minutes long, it's like a punchline, okay. You gave up his phone, we get it. He's sitting next to Jeter who traded for him, we gave up Zach Galen. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:21 That is another thing. Two co-conspirators there. Jeez Louise, what a bad trade that was. It's the 15th anniversary of thing. Gallon, okay, that is another thing to co-conspirators there What a bad trade that was the 15th anniversary of thing. Yeah, is it not just like an odd one? When you don't win when you don't win World Series every year like the Yankees used to you got to do anything you can to Get people back in the park. I mean jeez they're gonna lose Juan soda Just see the fans and oh the fans were chanting keep soda keep soda youoto you see what he said So talk to Brian Cashman. He's out of there gone. He's gonna go back to back to back Soto Stanton judge god, they're gonna blow it. They're not gonna win anything with a three of them. That's crazy
Starting point is 00:21:55 They're gonna lose Juan Soto and Aaron judge. I was reading a thing this morning said Aaron judge is on a historic pace No, he's not. He's not gonna break 73. He's not gonna, historic pace, to finish with what? I think he's on pace to break his record by one. He doesn't have a record. That's not a record. Oh, the American League record, that's not a thing. There's one home run record. Not that anyone cares about that.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I know, they don't care. No one cares about home run records anymore because of steroids. The guys from the 90s. Wow, this is so great. No one cares, they ruined it. This isn't a fun chase. No one cares about these home runs.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Well, let's be clear, the guys of the 90s, they say baseball in the 90s. And they killed it now. They ruined it moving forward, yes. I used to make a case that I thought that Jose Conteco would be in the Hall of, or should be in the Hall of Fame as a contributor to the game,
Starting point is 00:22:35 for kind of trying to clean up the whole steroid situation. Then I sat back and I said, but he also made that mess, and you shouldn't reward someone for cleaning up a mess they made. That should be kind of just what they do. But you think that these Yankees are gonna do anything enough Aaron judge is Roger Maris his son gonna come around are we done with him? We're done with him. Finally, right? We don't have to see Roger Maris his son anymore. Gosh We saw him in 1998 following Mark McGuire around last year is following Aaron judge around the entire time We're done with the Marises.
