00:00I want to know if Pete Alonzo dinged enough home runs.

00:03He didn't.

00:04The polar bear choked on ice and the penguins ate him up as Washington Nationals outfielder

00:11Juan Soto won the home run derby last night.

00:15This is the same Juan Soto, by the way, who recently turned down a 15-year extension worth

00:24$440 million because he hates playing for the Nationals.

00:30Right now, that much.

00:31They stink that badly.

00:32There is a strong rumor that the Yankees and Mets are both looking at Soto.

00:39This guy put on a show last night in the home run derby.

00:42Hitting from the left side.

00:44Power, unbelievable.

00:4523 years old.

00:48Hey, listen, Pete Alonzo won two in a row, but he wasn't able to capture the third.

00:52He did get to the semifinals.

00:55Okay.

00:55So I know Mindy, she's a very loyal Morning Rat Race fan.

01:00She's a great listener and supporter of Rat Rock Nation.

01:02Always brings your dog to bark in the park.

01:05So Mindy, just for you, with regards to Pete Alonzo, I'm glad that he choked like the dog

01:11that he is.

01:11Choked on a big chunk of ice.

01:13There it goes.

01:14The polar bear sunk to the bottom of the Arctic and choked the way the Mets are going to choke

01:18the NL East this year.

01:20And trust me on this.

01:21I guarantee you the Atlanta Braves win the NL East to win that division because Pete,

01:27this guy choking so badly in the home run derby, to me, is an indicator of what's to come

01:34for the Mets in the second half of the 2022 season.

01:37Do you feel that little pinch?

01:38In your face, Mindy.

01:39Do you feel that pinch in the back of your neck?

01:41That's another pin going in the Davey Mack voodoo doll that Mindy has.

01:44It's funny.

01:45Mindy tries to get me with a pin, but I stab her right in the back.

01:49In the heart.

01:49With a knife.

01:52So that's the thing with the home run derby.

01:54Tonight is the all-star game itself.

01:57And you got plenty of Yankees, plenty of Mets, plenty of Phillies.

02:01I mean, honestly, all three teams doing well.

02:03The Yankees have the best record in baseball.

02:06The Mets are basically 20 games over 500.

02:08And after an atrocious start, the Phillies are over 500 and are in wild card contention.

02:13One thing of note, locally, it's the first time the Yankees will have starting outfielders

02:20in Aaron Judge and John Carlos Stanton since Ricky Henderson and Dave Winfield did it for

02:26the Yankees in the 80s.

02:28Wow, cool.

02:29So that's a unique thing.

02:31And I was surprised by that stat.

02:32I thought that Bernie Williams and Paul O'Neal had started an all-star game together at least

02:40once or twice.

02:41But no dice, huh?

02:42I mean, they had certainly made all-star teams plenty of times.

02:46I guess they just didn't start together.

02:49Basketball James Harden is saying he'll do whatever it takes to win a title with the Philadelphia

02:5376ers going so far as to tell the Philly front office, sign whoever you need to sign and give

03:00me the money that's left over.

03:01So right now, Harden saying the right things.

03:04Football LA Rams defensive lineman Bobby Brown has been suspended by the NFL for the first

03:08six games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

03:14And finally, golf.

03:16And kind of a weird one, the Saudi Arabian Live Tour.

03:20That's the very controversial golf tour in Saudi Arabia.

03:24They just signed David Faraday now.

03:27Now, he's not even a golfer.

03:29Like, I understand Phil Mickelson and some of these superstars, but Faraday is, you know,

03:34he's a funny kind of, you know, humorous golf announcer for NBC and the Golf Channel and

03:41other places.

03:42And as far as I know, this Lyft thing doesn't even have a network deal.

03:47They don't even have a channel on American television.

03:50They're not on the golf channel?

03:51I think they might be get to YouTube, but no, they're not on the golf channel either.

03:55So if you're a commentator, I'm not sure this is the greatest.

04:00I don't think you're going up.

04:01I don't think going from NBC in America to Saudi Arabia to the...

04:08What's he being paid, Dave?

04:09It's coming down to the money.

04:11I don't have the actual stat, but it says billions and billions and billions of dollars.

04:17Boatload.

04:18You're right.
