00:00And when Martinez had his moment in the sun, when he threw the players under the bus, in not so many words, he blamed the players.
00:10And, you know, he said the coaches have nothing to do with us.
00:13In not so many words, he said, we don't play.
00:16They're the ones going out there playing.
00:18We tell them what to do.
00:19We get them ready.
00:20We are ready.
00:21We do everything right.
00:22We do everything top shelf.
00:24And then they go out and F it up.
00:26I knew that day I said on this show that very day he was fired.
00:31Yeah.
00:33Scotty, good to be on with you.
00:34First of all, thank you for having me.
00:36And I remember being at that game and driving away and going, oh, my God, he actually said what he was actually thinking, which was the coaches are not to blame and the players are, which is fine if you think that.
00:51Even though that's probably wrong, but you can't say it.
00:54And I knew Davey was a dead man walking at that point.
00:58Mike Rizzo tried to walk it back.
01:00Davey tried to walk it back the next day.
01:02Mike Rizzo, a couple of days later, tried to walk it back.
01:04Oh, no, no.
01:05He didn't mean this.
01:06He didn't mean that.
01:07Listen, in the Lerner family, the owner's minds, along with an 11-game losing streak, which that was a part of that day, was an 11-game losing streak to the Marlins and the Rockies at home.
01:21With crowds of 15,000, you knew Davey was gone.
01:25The real surprise here is Mike Rizzo, the general manager and president.
01:29Not so much that he was definitely going to be back next year, but the timing when you consider the number one overall pick on Sunday night going to the Nationals and, of course, the trade deadline.
01:39So, he's been there forever, but that's kind of the way the cookie crumbles, right?
01:46In not so many words, they, you know, I think they needed to clean house because they've been so awful.
01:54I mean, let's just look at it here for a second, because I knew you were coming on, and I was kind of prepared for this.
02:02Home, 10 games under .500.
02:04Road, 6 games under .500.
02:07East, 11.
02:09I think it's like 11 games.
02:11Is that about right?
02:12Eight?
02:13Yeah.
02:13Maybe nine games under .500 against East.
02:17Central, 4-9, five games under.
02:20Against the West, they've actually done decent one game under.
02:25They're still losing.
02:27They've won 4-10.
02:29They've lost three in a row.
02:31Like, it's gotten to the point, Chris, where I'm, like, betting against them every night of the week and making money five, six nights a week.
02:39Right.
02:40So, I'll take you back to the end of May.
02:42They scored, I think it was 36 runs over four games on the West Coast against Seattle and Arizona, and that was to end out May.
02:49And, Scotty, they never got off the mat after that.
02:52They were shut down by Corbin Burns the next day, the game that he got injured in in Arizona, and they never showed really any signs of life after that.
03:03They were terrible in June, terrible offensively.
03:06They're awful base running.
03:08They're not good defensively.
03:09Their bullpen stinks.
03:11Their starting pitching outside of McKenzie Gore is very average, if not average, might be kind.
03:17And they were not playing with really a whole lot of juice or energy or fire or anything like that.
03:24Not to mention, you know, like, last Wednesday, it was July 2nd, right?
03:29It's the middle of the summer.
03:31It's warm, okay?
03:32A lot of people in D.C., they had 16,000 people there for the Detroit Tigers, the best team in the American League.
03:39And last Sunday against the Red Sox, a day where they run all sorts of kids' promotions and whatever, they had 26,000 and probably 12,000 Red Sox fans.
03:48So the owners are looking around saying, not only do we stink, but we ain't making any money.
03:52We're not bringing anybody in except for the road fans.
03:54We're giving大家PN Team erstwhileers or барх BARTB 셋來å¤anti, we're giving you $30,000.

04:06We're giving you $44,000.
04:07We're giving you $50,000.

04:18All you can print of anything your number is $50,000.
