The crown is yours today is Wednesday, July 16 Wednesday July 16th and Kyle Schwerber is The man what a monster three swings three dogs three no doubters three no doubters What a way to finish the baseball game. He's the best. Yeah, so for people who didn't tune into the All Star game We had the first ever swing off in the All Star game. It was tied after ninenings. They fixed it after the disaster that happened what was it 20 years ago. Bud Sealeg stands up, calls the game off. Game off. Disgrace to the United States of America. It really was, but this time they had a solution. The swing off, each manager got to pick three guys and each guy had three swings and most home runs win and it was Cowish Warber it was quite cowish Warber show because he hit three home runs and three swings absolute monsters He's the best I fucking love him forever He's the best the only and of course in in base in true baseball fashion fashion. Uh, we have a very cool thing, a very cool moment. And obviously everyone's just talking about where was Otani, where is Aaron Judge? Well, guess what? They were probably on a plane because Jesse Rogers reported that that, uh, for everyone saying, Hey, why aren't like the best home run hitters? Cow absorber is one of the best home run hitters. Competing in this, they literally left. And now we have the debate of, is that leaving your team is that lame? I do not care. Yeah, bad leadership by Aaron Judge at the All-Star game. Yeah. Nobody cares about that, but it did feel like the National League manager was trying to win harder than the American League manager was. Yeah, well, I don't think I don't think they had anyone left. Peter Lonzo was, that was the closer pick.

Yeah. Well, I don't think I don't think they had anyone left.

Peter Lonzo was, that was the closer pick. Yeah, Lonzo, that's a no brainer. But he had played, so Peter Lonzo, I think, stayed because he was going to maybe win MVP. Kyle Schwarber was a first non-picture to win MVP without getting a hit in the game. But that's why I think Pitalonzo state it was basically guys who were in the game late or were staying because they could potentially win

MVP like Pitalonzo. I think Peter Lonzo state it was basically guys who were in the game late or were staying because they could potentially win MVP like Peter Lonzo. I think Peter Lonzo state because he thought there might be a swing off and this is what he secretly trained his entire career without even preparing for it. He just knew that he was putting all those hours just hitting dingers off a batting machine pitching machine off a coach pitch whatever. The man has been he's cared about the home run derby more than any other human

being on planet earth ever has cared about winning the home run derby.

He had an opportunity. He was a closer, put him in third. He didn't even have to swing. He didn't have to. He's pissed off about that. Yeah, but his three run homer, like up until the swing off, he probably would have been the MVP. Uh, but it was great.

I loved it.

And for people like, yes, obviously, would you have liked to see O'Connie and judge in it?

Sure.

Hmm.

Uh, but I also like if you're an all-star you have a two-day break at most They're probably gonna want to get out of town. Yeah, I can understand that also max I would like for you to apologize for the Ranger Suarez takes Why Why? Because he turned down the all-star game.

I don't know if that's true.

Oh, okay.

I like that.

I can check that.

I just said aye.

I'm not going to believe.

We're not going to believe.

Why did the why did we look it up?

Why did every player on the Phillies get so upset about it if he turned it down?

Let's talk about Ranger Suarez here. Can you answer me that? Can you answer me that?
