As soon as I heard what I wanted to hear, I shut it off.

We love having Kevin Millar on.

Of course, he's a host of MLB Network's intentional talk.

Weekdays at 5 p.m. Eastern throughout the regular season, you can go to MLBnetwork.com for your local channel listings.

And what's even better is that this morning, seeing that he's on the AT&T expert hotline, he's going to be speaking with one of his good buddies from the clubhouse.

A person who covered him probably as well as anybody, Mr. Dan Roach and Kevin Millard. This is a reunion, Kevin. We got Dan Roach sitting right next to me right now, your old pal. What's up, one-five? Danny Roach, what are you doing, Big Daddy? I'm doing well, you? I'm doing good, man.

I'm hearing beautiful awesome Texas.

This is about 137 degrees up. Was Dan, okay, was Dan one of the few guys that was tolerated? Or at some point, you're just like, oh, gosh, here comes that smiling A-hole again. No, no, no, he's tolerated. There's about a handful that weren't. Let me get that straight.

That's the way it always is. But Danny was one, the good ones. We used to get in trouble. Malar took me back to show me where the video room was and how they break down video. And then we'd get a call from upstairs saying, you can't show them that stuff, what you're doing and everything else. and he told me the story the infamous story of the little jack daniel's shots before crown roll yeah yeah well yeah the crown royal and and everything else so uh yeah we got both we had yeah

yeah he got yeah did you did you get crap for that that that's a good question oh boy did he get

crap for that what happened after you that story leaked out that out that you told Dan about you guys doing the shots?

Oh, no, it was no big deal. I landed there's 300 text messages.

I'm saying that, you know, I'm going to get in trouble from, I think, mothers against drunk drivers, promoting, you know, young kids' youth with alcohol.

Really?

86 years. We just won a World Series. And a symbolic toast now is now I'm in trouble. Like, it was unbelievable. And the best is Theo called you too, right? Well, yeah. Theo, Francona, you know, like they're drinking on the job. They can get busted for Major League Baseball. I'm like, and then once again, I dropped a really? This is what we're dealing with? Like, no one played drunk. You can't hit a 95-hour fastball drunk. David Wells ever pitched a perfect game drunk. It's a great story, but it's not true. You know what I'm saying? So it was just, you know, it lasted want to talk to Peter Gammons and Mike Peter. He's like, oh, geez, don't worry about this. This is the way it's going to be sometimes. So have they completely suck the fun at a baseball? I mean, when you look at, you know, I think it's Bryce Harper, who's kind of joked about this before, but when you kind of look what these guys are going through and how they're monitored on social media and how critical people have become, would it be fun to play in this league anymore or even as close as it was when you were in? Yeah, of course it is. It's the big leagues. So I don't fall for that. I don't fall for taking the fun out of baseball, whatever that means, right? That to me sounds haterish. It's the big leagues. It's fun. You tell me it's not fun making $25 million a year in major league baseball because someone says, oh, you can't flip a bat or unbutting your shirt all the way down. There's a way to play baseball. I don't care who you are. I don't care what generation is. So I think we lose that.

There's respect of the way down. There's a way to play baseball. I don't care who you are. I don't care what generation is. So I think we lose that. There's respect of the game. People are like,

oh, that's just the old time. No, that's the way it is. You can do whatever you want. You could do a 360 at home play if you want after you single. There's going to be repercussions

if you're facing the wrong pitcher. That's way life is you can do you can drive on the
