Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘brawl’ as in fight as in punch as in Tim Anderson as in Jose Ramirez as in knockout. What happened? Should it have happened? What happens next? Just take a look at the White Sox clubhouse for answers on how bad things have gone. (16:10) Are the Angels cursed? They have to be. Buyers at the deadline and still can’t win. Shohei Ohtani on fire… still can’t win. (27:00) Review: 65. (30:10) The USWNT had its earliest exit from the World Cup ever. After the loss… the hate was strong from the critics. But was it about soccer? Nope. (38:55) NPPOD. (41:55) The Pac-12 is dead. It was ended overnight. What was supposed to be a new media rights deal ended with 4 schools remaining. The Big Ten is now 18. The Big 12 is now 16. GO HERE NOW: davidsamsonpodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Yeah, bro. Nothing personal word of the day. It is Monday, August 7th, 2023. Good morning.
0:23.0	Welcome to nothing personal. We're live on the nothing personal with David Samson YouTube
0:27.7	channel. And we're starting with the brawl baseball baseball brawls have always been an issue for
0:35.6	me because fans like him. It's like hockey fights. It's like basketball fights. You spend time
0:40.9	trying to make rules in order to stop it because owners do not want their players getting hurt. That is
0:47.1	the sole reason. It used to be that you had the Nick Fatis of the world, the Thai domis of the world,
0:53.0	hockey fighting people are there for it. The 80s and 90s in the NBA. There were punches being thrown
0:59.5	Larry Bird and Chuck Nevitt. Everybody can Benson. Everybody's getting into fights. Then they
1:06.9	change the world. If you leave the bench, you're suspended Yankees heat series back in the late 90s.
1:12.7	Those rule changes work baseball. We are very hesitant to change the rules the way I would have liked.

1:40.1	clear, here come the bullpen's. I can't stand the fact that they run in from the bullpen's which
1:46.0	are in the outfield to the infield where the brawl is happening or where the punches or shoves are
1:52.3	they run inside by side because they have to show their support of teammates. I get that. If you make
1:57.7	a very simple rule that you cannot leave the bullpen, then no one would leave the bullpen. Done.
2:03.1	Couldn't get it passed by anybody. It's a very simple rule. That would be an edict. An executive
2:10.2	order I would make too. You cannot leave the dugout. The reason why baseball has been
2:20.2	reticent to change the rule that way is the union felt the players are there to protect their
2:27.2	teammate. Well, why is the rule in hockey when two players are fighting? The rule is you can't be
2:32.5	third man in. Let the two people fight. Once they're off their skates, then the umpires or the referees,
