Tony got to stand next to a major league baseball player yesterday and was startled by how large

O'Neill Cruz is. Where are you guys been hiding this guy? I mean, Dan, standing next to him,

I'm looking at him, I'm like, this dude could play power forward in the league. That's how big he is.

He's massive. They have him at 248. He's not 248, by the way. It's like 260, 265. Easy, but everybody in the league. That's how big he is. He's massive. They have him at 248. He's not 248, by the way. It's like 260, easy. But everybody on the Dominican team, I'm looking at damn, Sandy's huge. Holy shit. Albert Pujols is huge in a different way. Well, the reason he's been hiding is because he's in Pittsburgh. Ah, he's a pirate. Sneaky good team this year. Put it on the poll at Lebitard show. That's not true in any way, Jeremy. The Pittsburgh...

Couldn't make a wild card run. Pittsburgh. Really good pitching. Pirates are never any good. Okay. All right. Let's come back to this in game 162 and see if they're sniffing around that wild card race. Put that next to the Washington Wizards playoff run of next year.

File that one away. Yeah, these predictions that you guys make that no one's going to remember because... You didn't say they were going to make the playoffs. I said they were a good team. They're on the right direction. And go through that file and please throw away any of the Orlando magic takes that I had from a few months ago. Dave Damashek will hold me to it. I'll tell you that. He's been talking to me about the Pittsburgh Pirates since January.

I wasn't alone with those magic takes, but I'll take the fall. You weren't alone, but Tony, you just corrected yourself on what you alleged to have said about the Wizards by saying the Wizards are a good team. They're not a good team. Oh, I said they were heading in a good direction. No, you just said a second ago. He's not wrong. He's early. Thank you. You said a second ago

that they were a good team. It just came out of your mouth. It wasn't not there. It wasn't a good

direction. It was, I'm listening to what you say. You're not listening to what it is

that you say. You said, that might be fair. I don't think anybody else was listening to you either

from what I can tell, but I don't want to talk about the wizards. I don't think, Jeremy,

I want to talk about the pirates either. Is O'Neill Cruz named after Paul O'Neill?

Because his father was a major league. Roy is nodding his head vigorously. Yes, I didn't realize that you were watching Pirates Baseball this way. But Roy seems to know that this is absolutely so. I was asking the question. I'm not sure so. I believe I heard that on M-O-B-The-show last year's

edition of the video game. I know that. As like a tidbit? No, thank you, boo-shambi. You just

retained it? It just stayed there in your head somewhere. Yeah, I thought it was interesting.

And so Tony comes in and is like, where have they been hiding this guy? Meanwhile, you know his

entire family

history.

This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stucats podcast.

Over the years, as the audience has heard my increasing exasperation with how strong an instant takes have gotten, okay?

And I really don't know how you can have a very strong opinion on Malik Willis, but I am seeing a great deal of very strong opinion on Malik Willis, but I am seeing a great deal of very strong opinion

on both sides on the dolphins getting Malik Willis.
