Episode Overview

This episode of "Covino & Rich," filling in for Dan Patrick, serves up their unique blend of sports insight, humor, and pop culture commentary. The main theme centers on the shift in baseball’s style of play, particularly the trend of "swinging for the fences" over small ball fundamentals, and how analytics have changed both baseball and the perception of its strategy. The guys bring the discussion to other sports (especially the NFL), listener interactions, and a trivia segment to round out the show. Observations on coaching decisions, player IQ, and fan frustration are delivered with classic Covino & Rich banter.

So before we get into the other fun stuff, Rich and all the Canadian thanks we gotta give on their Thanksgiving our Columbus slash Indigenous peoples day.

[Rich Davis]

What is it?

[Steve Covino]

It's. It's both, I guess. I don't know how, but it's both. I said that Justin fields had negative 10 net passing yards against the Broncos, which means you reading this, listening to this. All of us had more passing yards than Justin Fields proving that the jets are ass. And we sent a subpar product overseas. Yet they still had a blast watching the Broncos beat The jets, but they are just so bad. So bad. They were asking at the end of the, at the end of the game during the press conference, like Justin Fields play himself out of a job. And they're like, no, he's still the guy. But he played pretty crappy. Just looking like, like cheeks.

[Rich Davis]

Now there's things we're gonna get to, things that made you go, hmm, phones are lit, let's get to them. But I want to throw one baseball, one in there because I know a lot of people probably gonna lead with football.

[Steve Covino]

I got one baseball too.

[Rich Davis]

I watched that 15 inning game with some of my softball buddies and five.

[Steve Covino]

Hours of glory that was in. It was sanity.

[Rich Davis]

It was a memorable moment for me because I'll always remember where I was because, you know, some of my good pals that I play softball with. It was the ninth inning when our game was wrapping up and someone's like, yo, break out your phone. Let's watch the last inning or so. And we ended up sitting at the softball field for an hour and a half together, like watching the last, you know, six innings of that game.

[Steve Covino]

That was insane.

[Rich Davis]

And I bring that up because it's just very clear, it's abundantly clear that the idea of moving someone over and small ball analytics, micro macro, whatever it is, no one is doing it, no matter what. I mean, how many opportunities and extra innings did someone have a chance to say, move someone over. And don't tell me the one great wheel play the Dodgers pulled in the divisional round is deterrent because you're telling me that all those extra inning opportunities lead off double a walk and then a guy singled first and second. No one on the Mariners or the Blue Jays, I'm sorry the Mariners or the Tigers coaching staff at any point said pushed for, come on, we got to bunt them over. Is bunting over.

[Steve Covino]

Just not a few people failed at the opportunity. Yeah, I mean they just aren't skilled in that way. A lot of commentary over the weekend of can you imagine what a. Well, if Tony Gwynn was around or Wade Boggs would think watching the way people just swing for the fences instead of making contact and trying to move the runner over, move the runner over and just regular baseball fundamentals. Now granted, these teams that are here have more than like the Yankees and the Mets and teams that haven't gone this far.

[Dan Beyer]

But.

[Steve Covino]

But it's so evident when you're watching that game that it's just a different game that we're watching here. But it was still so exciting, man, I Remember so loud that it registered on the Andy Richter scale in Seattle. I heard that, that it's named that.

[Rich Davis]

It's named after him, right?

[Steve Covino]

It's named after him. No, but it did measure on the Richter scale, right? It got so loud. It was so hyped. Even though we might not like that style of play, it was unbelievable to see. Like, oh my God, is anybody going to win this game with 15 innings?

[Dan Beyer]

Man, I mean everybody wants to be Freddie Freeman. Oh, holding their bat like this.

[Steve Covino]

Everybody wants that hero moment.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, it's the equivalent to the NBA where guys chuck up threes and half court shots and from the logo. That's what the younger generation likes. And so you got to roll with it.

[Rich Davis]

Danny, why draw up a possible game winning play when you could just heave up a three? You're right, it's the equivalent. And listen, we're just fans. I'm not in the Major League baseball dugout. So for all they know, they're like, hey moron, we know the analytics, we know three at bats, one hit wins it. Why are we going to give up an out? But I don't know, Fundamentally my mind is like, get the guy to third, you have two shots, a fly ball, a ground ball hard the other way could score your winning run. I don't.

[Steve Covino]

So many don't play.

[Dan Beyer]

Those Yankees could have extended their series had they generated some, some runs there in those last few innings.

[Steve Covino]

Without a doubt. And the sentiment there is, and I agree with it, is team, teams like that are built for 162, not for like in the long run they're going to hit all these home runs and drive in all these runs. But in a short series like that, when you're swinging for the fences, good pitching is going to stop that always, bro. That's what we were seeing. A bunch of dudes, a bunch of role players swinging for the fence.

[Rich Davis]

You know why?

[Steve Covino]

Good pitching was stopping it and high pressure moments were stopping it. And it went 15 innings for us. The casual fan edge of my seat. I can't imagine how a Tigers fan or a Mariners fan felt watching that nail biting 15 inning marathon.

[Rich Davis]

Let me tell you, that's why my Mets weren't in the postseason that weekend. The weeks leading up to the end of the season, multiple games. I remember one in particular where similar scenario, Mets are up in the bottom of the inning. And you remember in regular season you start with that phantom runner on second. And I remember the explanation was quote, Francisco Alvarez is not a great bunter. And I'm like, or he can't bunt or he doesn't do that. And I'm like, you're eighth inning, your eighth in the order. Catcher can't bunt over a guy.

[Steve Covino]

And, and then I understand some people are better than others, but you're in the major leagues, like, yeah. Figure it out.

[Rich Davis]

And I'm not saying it's easy to lay down a bunt against a guy throwing 96 mile an hour splitters.

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Dan Beyer]

But you're teaching your kids when you're coaching, you're teaching them how to bunt.

[Rich Davis]

If I'm fundamentally trying to teach little ones these skills. Come on now. All right, let's go to West Virginia. Say hi to Jerry. Jerry. Football, baseball, anything on your mind? What made you go, hmm, this weekend?

[Caller]

Well, guy, first of all, I do some gig stuff at night, but thank you for the entertainment. It really makes these few hours go by really fast.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks, man. Appreciate you.

[Caller]

Hey, the thing I got to get off my chest tonight is guys, I love Big Noon kickoff. It is a great show. The chemistry is incredible. But I can't stand Dave Portnoy on this show. He brings absolutely nothing. Nothing, zero. He's a frat boy. I don't know why he's on the show. I can't stand him.

[Rich Davis]

Listen, I'm, I'll be honest. I appreciate you loving us. I'm a Portnoy fan. I think he's great at what he does. I haven't seen him on that show, but it is interesting because in that if you want to say like frat boyish him against Pat McAfee. Right. Because they're on opposing pre games for college football. It is sort of like the battle of like those dudes.

[Steve Covino]

Right.

[Rich Davis]

You're looking at Portnoy against McAfee, I guess, cut from a similar enough cloth. You used to work together.

[Steve Covino]

You know, I think there's a thin line between love and hate. How was a guy that could do without Dave Portnoy as well? And I realized as time goes on. No, it's because I, because I like the guy. He frustrates me, but I like him. It's kind of like Baker Mayfield.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Some people are just, they rub you the wrong way and then you get them and it clicks and you realize, oh, you know, I really like that.

[Rich Davis]

You felt that way about Gary Vaynerchuk.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. And you know what, when you think about it, they all have an abrasive sort of quality. Right. Sort of polarizing tendencies. Either love or hate. Gary Vaynerchuk, Dave Portnoy Baker Mayfield, if you want to throw him in there because of his antics back in the day with the Browns and everything. But you realize it's such a thin line in life. And it's so true because I love every one of them now.

[Rich Davis]

I like a good pizza review, but.

[Steve Covino]

You might not realize it.

[Rich Davis]

Let's say hi to Indianapolis. Junior. What's up, Junior?

[Caller]

Nothing much. Fellas. How y' all doing tonight?

[Rich Davis]

What's on your mind?

[Steve Covino]

How are you?

[Caller]

So to me, I think that this generation is slower than our generation. So that's why they tell them just go swing for the fences or strike out. There's no IQ that's involved anymore in any of the sports. Like we were just talking about Justin fields. Like his IQ level has to be like on 12 because he's, he's not.

[Steve Covino]

Well, that, that goes back to the coaching too. Right. There was so many plays where they were just running out the clock instead of managing it, mismanaging the clock. So many weird question marks. And that was the story when I woke up. Remember, this was early in the morning out here on the west coast, but that was the story immediately. When the. When the people at home feel like they know more than the coaches and the plays that are being made in the NFL or the fundamentals of baseball. Lay one down, guys. Come on. That's when there's a problem. You're like, what is going on? When the casual fan could see what's going on here, what the problem is, but they're not able to execute and they're doing it wrong on a professional level, it makes you scratch your head.

[Rich Davis]

It makes you say, you never want to be a know it all fan.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but this is obvious fundamental stuff.

[Rich Davis]

When you see guys having the inability to lay down a bunt or the end of the first half of the Jets Broncos game manager clock. Did you hear? We don't happen to have the Rich Eisenh call, do we? Rich Eisen jokingly wraps up the first.

[Steve Covino]

Half, but it leaves a fan there bewildered. Like, what the heck is going on? Where.

[Rich Davis]

When the jets just sort of at midfield didn't take like a shot or something like Rich Eisen, I think sarcastically right. Announced. Remember he was saying something like. And the fans here in London are wondering, do I understand the game of football? As we go to the halfway, the.

[Steve Covino]

The London fans have to be confused because how. How did the players feel in that moment? Like, hey, what just happened? Why didn't we do it?

[Rich Davis]

And in a non high scoring game where it was A battle of field goals, and there was a safety thrown in there. Like, this is a game one.

[Steve Covino]

Again, we're talking mis. Two points of the clock if you missed it. And then again, just the inability to play small ball and baseball is still. You're left with the same field, same feeling of, I could do this. I know more than what I'm seeing here on the field, it's a weird feeling. As a fan, there was another story Richard made me say, hmm, baseball related.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Brewers. Danny G, I believe you sent this to me, too. Brewers were getting some flack for holding up an L flag in regards to the Cubs losing. And people are saying, yo, the brewers got no clack.

[Dan Beyer]

That's not classy at all. Because, of course, the Cubs famously fly their W flag.

[Steve Covino]

Right? Right. So it's like, yo, you got no class. Brewer's getting some flack for that.

[Rich Davis]

I think that's, like, so loser behavior.

[Steve Covino]

Well, just throwing out the story made me say, hmm.

[Spotter/Statistician]

So in the story, behind the Flags, for those that don't know, the Cubs throughout their history would play their day games at Wrigley Field. So the people who would go to work and take the train into the city would take the train out of the city and see if the Cubs won that day. If they won, the W flag was up. If they lost, the L flag was up. There is an L flag. We see the W flag all the time, which is white with the blue W, but the L flag is actually blue with a white L. And the brewers was. They manufactured it the wrong way. Like, they made the L in the wrong colors. But some people just wouldn't have liked the fact that they would have flown an L flag. But it is popular in Milwaukee. Maybe not as classy as other celebrations, but there's some. I mean, stuff behind it.

[Rich Davis]

Sports. And it's. We talked about this the other day. It's ribbon. It's. You know, they're roasting their.

[Steve Covino]

I think it's a rival. It's a fun roast. Hey, by the way, I'm sure you have friends. This makes you say, hmm, too. If you don't have any dog in the fight when it comes to the postseason, and, you know, some of us here do, but if you don't, like, I got my mom and friends, but my mom, too. Like, who do I root for?

[Rich Davis]

Stephen.

[Steve Covino]

And I'm like, well, Mom, I guess the Brewers, Mariners. That's got to be the most fun. She's like, well, why not the Dodgers? I'm like, well, nothing against your Dodgers, Danny. G, I'm like, they won this year. Last year. I'm like, they won. I'm like, I'm guessing that's the casual fans choice.

[Dan Beyer]

Don't you finally want to see an MLB team repeat?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, dude, there, it's. It's all great and it's all fun. I'm saying, but what's that standard answer? Because I've been presented.

[Rich Davis]

I think the standard answer is what you just said, the team. And that's what the default goes to. Unless you, unless you want to see greatness and you're like, yeah, I want to see Shohei.

[Steve Covino]

And we all want the best team to make it fine. If that's the Dodgers, so be it. If that's the Blue Jays, great. But I think the coolest answer for again, the casual guy would be Brewers Mariners.

[Rich Davis]

If you're wondering now you want to hear Rich Eisen.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, this jets came right.

[Rich Davis]

The mismanagement of the play, of the play in the end of the first half. Take a listen.

[Caller]

And the Prince are wondering what is.

[Spotter/Statistician]

Happening in London and so are the American announcers.

[Caller]

And that is halftime.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, the Brits are wondering what's happening and so are the American announcers.

[Steve Covino]

So the Brits are probably confused, but they still had a blast telling you. I saw, I saw a bunch of British people. I'll give friends in a drink. Let's drink. Having a blast. Just loving every moment. And then Americans just criticizing like, what a weak ass game. 11 points. 11 points.

[Rich Davis]

I have an observation. You talk about things that make you go, this is not an obvious one. I know for sure. Dan Buyer noticed it. Maybe, maybe not the keen eye, maybe maybe not you guys. But I know the keen eye of DB has noticed that Fox has decided to make the strike zone with no border for these. Like right now, when you're watching the Blue Jays Mariners, there's the strike zone box there, but there's no border and it's very faint. It almost looks like a camera, like a shutter filter of sorts. Have you noticed that?

[Spotter/Statistician]

Yeah, it almost appeals. Like it's appears like it's a cover up.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, like it's not that. Like it's maybe someone, maybe research shows like. All right, enough of the distinct square box. It's not that it's. Can you even see it? I know your vision's not great there, Mr. 40 something.

[Steve Covino]

I have to look really hard though, to see it.

[Rich Davis]

But it's like so it looks like.

[Game Host]

Screen burn, you know, like when you.

[Rich Davis]

Leave your smart TV on too long.

[Steve Covino]

I think that's good enough. I do.

[Rich Davis]

When they go to the next pitch, just take a quick look. And of course, I think it's a little too faint. I might agree with you there. I was saying. But it's there. But the idea of it being very clear, like, here's the square zone that you've seen all year long in all the local cities and markets. Like, look, it's. It's there, but it almost looks like, you know, when you switch a filter on your iPhone.

[Steve Covino]

Maybe that's the thought process of. We don't want to be intrusive here, but we want it to still be there.

[Game Host]

Human ups are still calling the game.

[Dan Beyer]

It makes me miss the YouTube play button.

[Steve Covino]

You don't want it to be too distracting. And that's good enough? I don't know. But, yeah, I notice it now that you pointed it out. All right, so let's wrap this up. We do this every Monday. Any of your observations over the weekend, Week six of the NFL playoff baseball, whatever it was. Halloween costumes.

[Rich Davis]

I got one.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Rich Davis]

Before we go to trip, if you're watching Love is Blind, that guy, Joe, do you think when you've got drunk, when you. When you were in your 20s and got drunk, were you as dumb as that guy?

[Steve Covino]

That guy is the dumbest drunk I've ever seen on tv. I'm not even joking you, Danny, do.

[Rich Davis]

You think of your days of partying when you're a young man? Do you think you were ever that dumb?

[Dan Beyer]

No, we.

[Steve Covino]

I haven't watched the show.

[Game Host]

Can you describe his dumb.

[Rich Davis]

The girl he's with, God bless her, he's like, what?

[Steve Covino]

She's like. You're not making sense.

[Rich Davis]

He makes no sense. I don't know how to describe it. I just woke up. If. Yeah, if you. If you. Why you're not making sense.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

What?

[Spotter/Statistician]

What's what?

[Steve Covino]

He's like the dumbest guy that ever was.

[Rich Davis]

He might be. Honestly seems like. Like a really nice guy when he's sober, but I was saying, when this guy.

[Dan Beyer]

He seems like a D bag when he's sober as well.

[Rich Davis]

You know what I think the reality is?

[Steve Covino]

Keep going, Kavita.

[Rich Davis]

The reality, Danny G. And there's new episodes this week. He really wanted a thinner girl. I'm not being rude. That's the truth. He really. He's alluded a few times. Like, I'm usually used to more petite girls.

[Dan Beyer]

You know what, Rich? During a break, I'll send you something. There was a Reddit.

[Game Host]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Somebody. Somebody knows this guy in real life, and they posted Something very interesting about him on Reddit.

[Rich Davis]

Interesting? Well, if it includes he's a dummy when he drinks.

[Dan Beyer]

What, you think he's a hundred times worse? I guess in real life, he just wanted to get on the show to, you know, why not?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Get some Instagram followers.

[Dan Beyer]

And he said he. He said he told his friend who put up this thing on the Reddit, or former friend, former co worker, that he went on Love is Blind because he wanted to bang as many girls as he could.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, makes sense. Well, you know, else makes me say before we wrap up with Trip, correct me if I'm wrong on this, because it sounds crazy, but I was listening to DP today because we are filling in on Wednesday, and I wanted to see what he was yapping about. Dan Patrick.

[Rich Davis]

Are you more of a Fritzi guy or a Marvin guy? I can't see.

[Steve Covino]

I love them all. And he was talking about the double doozy tonight, as we call it. Bill's Falcons, Bears, Commanders. Bill's Falcons. To me, it did sound like a weird matchup. I'm like, bill's Falcons. I don't know. A lot of history there. It sounded like an interesting matchup. And then I'm listening to them, and he verified, like, it's like only like the fifth time that they're playing or something. Something ridiculous like that.

[Rich Davis]

So that, like, it never lined up for them to play.

[Steve Covino]

So, I mean, maybe reason to check out tonight. You're. You were going to anyway. I'm just saying it's not one you see all that often.

[Rich Davis]

True. All right, Trip, last call on this. Let's go, buddy boy. What's up?

[Caller]

Hey, thank you for taking my call. I just wanted to say this, talk about longevity. The reason I love your show and I promise promote you guys, you're not swinging for the fences. You guys have great pitching, timely hitting. You're everything that matters when you are talking about that. So that's what I was wanted to say. You guys do all the little things, and that's why I love Rich and Covina.

[Steve Covino]

You know what, man?

[Rich Davis]

Look at that.

[Steve Covino]

It's Kavino and Rich. But thanks.

[Dan Beyer]

He also just changed the name of the show.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he also, like Hardy didn't disagree.

[Spotter/Statistician]

By the way, you know, so he stayed silent. He's like, yeah, I agree.

[Rich Davis]

Cavino has a theory that white guys call it Rich and Cavino and everyone.

[Steve Covino]

Else calls no way that the Guillermo guy is the Maybe Tripp's a Rich Davis guy. It was always Covino and Rich because it's what our boss Called us, you know, just had a show, we just ran with that. That's the history. But thank you so much. I take a lot of pride in that call because I find some truth in it. You know why? We stick to our fundamentals. We're radio nerds at heart. We love radio and we stick with that. Aside from interrupting each other, which we do out of just excitement.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

For what we're doing, we stick to the fundamentals and we're not going for the, the hot take, which would be the home run all the time. And we're just speaking from the heart and I'm glad that comes across, man. It means a lot. Thank you.

[Rich Davis]

You've been called the tool. Not a five tool player though before, so that's really good.

Last one standing.

[Dan Beyer]

Really quick. I'd like to alert all the affiliates down the line. Iowa Sam just got a really bad paper cut.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that was.

[Rich Davis]

That made me cringe.

[Dan Beyer]

He actually screamed in the studio.

[Game Host]

It's weird feeling makes you.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, I thought that was a girl. We got four categories ready to go if needed. A tie break. Each contestant gets five seconds to stay alive in the round. If you run out of time or you answer incorrectly, the aforementioned Iowa Sam will escort you out with his big bad buzzer. We keep battling until you are the last one standing. If you win two of the rounds, you are the top dog. Here are the contestants. 10 time winner, Steve Cavino. Yeah, baby. Last time, right next to him, 14 time champ, Rich Davis. And the leader by a long shot in the Clubhouse, Dan Byer. 34 time winner.

Yep.

[Caller]

All right.

Most postseason at bats. And by the way, just a little hint for you guys, with a couple of exceptions, it's mostly guys from the early 90s through today on this list.

[Rich Davis]

Don't give hints.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, I'll give you a hint, John.

[Rich Davis]

Because Kino would have listed off Yankees.

[Dan Beyer]

John in Iowa, you are up first, starting right now. Go.

[Caller]

Manny Ramirez.

[Game Host]

Manny Ramirez. Yep. Number five at 410.

[Dan Beyer]

Nice. Poll buyer.

[Spotter/Statistician]

Are we doing this saber stat metric that was used? Just kidding. That's an inside joke here at Rich and Covino.

[Spotter/Statistician]

It doesn't matter.

[Dan Beyer]

It doesn't. In all time. 3, 2, 1. Rich is the last one standing for that round. So Covino and Rich both on the board. And Spotty, what are some of the answers?

[Game Host]

Not only Bamtino. Who is the only guy that ever let you rock his World Series ring and take a picture?

[Steve Covino]

David Justice. That's a good one. Between the Braves and the Yankees. Yeah, that sucks.

[Dan Beyer]

All right, Covino and Rich both on the board. We go to the third category.

[Rich Davis]

Rich and Cavino.

[Dan Beyer]

Every hard matters, you have five seconds to name an NFL running back who leads the league in rushing yards through week six. So through six weeks, Ochi. All right, Covino, you're going to be up first as soon as the timer goes right now.

[Steve Covino]

Man, if you had only said that before, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks, Kavino. Let's play the conclusion of this great game. A three way tie next. Well, let's go to Dan for an update. DB, what's up?

[Spotter/Statistician]

Yeah, Mariners have now taken a 63 lead with that Polanco home run still one out in the top of the fifth inning. Mariner is already up 10 in the American League Championship Series with that 63 lead in this game, too. You can see it right now on Fox and Fox Sports 1. Coming up at 8 Eastern Time, it's the Dodgers and Brewers. Blake Snell again. Aaron Ashby in game one of the nlcs. That's on tbs. Mike Schill today stepped down as Padre skipper, signing the mental and physical toll that the job took on him, retiring at the age of 57. Now onto the NFL. Bills, Falcons coming up in about 35 minutes or so. Bears and Commanders playing 8:15 Eastern Time tonight. Lions defensive back Brian branch suspended for one game for hitting JuJu Smith Schuster of the Chiefs during the pregame handshake. Should be noted that Branch is appealing the suspension. Colts place quarterback Anth Richardson on injured reserve with that fractured orbital bone suffered during pregame warmups yesterday prior to their game against the Arizona Cardinals. 49ers 10 and George Kittle going to practice this week. That was the message from head coach Kyle Shanahan. He's trying to return from that hamstring injury suffered in Week one. Dalton Kincaid of the Bills tonight inactive against the Falcons again. That's game one of the doubleheader. CD Lamb could be back for the Cowboys in week seven. They faced the Commanders in that contest. Guys, back to you.

[Rich Davis]

All right, well, we'll do our tiebreaker for a winner.

[Spotter/Statistician]

Did I say Brian Callahan got fired? Mike McCoy is going to be the interim head coach. Sorry about that.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, thank you, db. We'll do the conclusion of our game next. And Dan Beyer, I thought of you because every time I hear the double doozy Monday Night Football game and people are like, why? They do two? And I'm like, I remember what Dan Buyer said. Otherwise what? The other game would just be buried in the one o' clock early game. So why would you not want two Monday night games.

[Steve Covino]

Right?

[Rich Davis]

More visibility.

[Spotter/Statistician]

Absolutely. I just surprised it's up against baseball's double header.

[Steve Covino]

That's the part that's the only thing.

[Rich Davis]

All right. Well thank you db. The conclusion of our game. Last one standing next on Fox Sports Radio.

Postseason Go season. Postseason really exposes a team, man. And it really proves once again that fundamentals never go out of style. Small ball never goes out of style. And role players are so important. Guys like Lucas on the Blue Jays or Polanco on the Mariners, like these are the dudes that make a well rounded team and that's what every team needs moving forward. It's not just swinging for the fences.

[Rich Davis]

Josh Naylor just made a play that I didn't think he was capable of.

[Steve Covino]

I know every play counts, man.

[Rich Davis]

He dives at first base. It does. Like a hook shot. He threw the ball almost like an NBA hook shot to the pitcher or second baseman. Whoever decided to come over and cover first.

[Steve Covino]

It was a big play. We're Covino and Rich live from the FOX Sports Radio studio. Business fluctuations make running your manufacturing business complex. But staffing your business doesn't have to be let express employment pros provide the workforce you need. Go to expresspros.com find a location near you. It'[e-mail] and Danny G's on standby. He's the host of Last One Standing. He's our producer and we got to get a winner here.

[Dan Beyer]

Due to time constraints, we go into ot. I guess it's the buyer. Rich and Covino show Yeah. Three last ones standing. Here's the tiebreak. No multiple choice. It's whoever comes closest, just buzz in with your name to go first. How many fumbles did Tom Brady have In his illustrious 23 year career regular season? How many total fumbles did Tom Brady have regular season in his 23 year career? Think about it for a minute.

[Steve Covino]

All right, all right.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, Rich, you want to go first? Yeah, go for it.

[Rich Davis]

69.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, 69.

[Spotter/Statistician]

Three a season, 23 years. That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Yeah, then I'll go north of it. I'll go. I'll go 76.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, you son of a bee. Now here's the strategy.

[Dan Beyer]

All right?

[Steve Covino]

Almost three times I lost to Dan Beyer by not simply going one higher. But I said for a season and I had it around 72. So hold on. No, no, because I've already lost this. 72. You're going 77.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, man.

[Spotter/Statistician]

My favorite is 23 times. Four is not 72.

[Steve Covino]

Did you notice that?

[Spotter/Statistician]

I did.

[Dan Beyer]

They said there'd be no math in broadcast.

[Steve Covino]

I'm going 77.

[Dan Beyer]

He actually averaged more than that per season because his total in the regular season, 134.

[Steve Covino]

His tactic paid off. Who do you think you are? I am. That's number 11, baby. Put it in the book.

[Rich Davis]

I do the math. 23 times 4 is 70.

[Spotter/Statistician]

The genius of the tiebreak is Danny makes it sound like it's advantageous to say your name first. Yeah, it's the worst. Because then everybody goes off of your number.

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, you think I should just draw.

[Spotter/Statistician]

Straws, jump in to go first?

[Dan Beyer]

Well, but it's not higher or lower. It's not like Price is Right.

[Rich Davis]

No, no.

[Spotter/Statistician]

But you can get sandwiched.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. You know what? Congrats, Kavino.

[Steve Covino]

You.

[Rich Davis]

You. You need this one.

[Steve Covino]

What do you mean I need?

[Spotter/Statistician]

Yeah, you do.

[Steve Covino]

Feel sorry for you. Guy has three more than I do, and I think I was robbed away.

[Rich Davis]

He needs. He needs.

[Spotter/Statistician]

Yeah, I know. When Danny goes victory. Steve Kamino, you know, and it's.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, that's back to back. So thank you. Thank you. All right.

[Dan Beyer]

11 time winner.

[Steve Covino]

What do you think you are?

[Announcer]

I am.

[Spotter/Statistician]

If you times that by four, you get 97.

[Steve Covino]

So I can count 11 wins. I'm proud of it.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you. Hey, as of right now, you guys, Seattle Mariners up six. Three other three games. Let's go around the room. What are we thinking? I at home? Here's the problem. You got the Dodgers throwing Blake Snell, and they're going Ashby and I feel like they're going to be doing more bullpen action. Right. I'm going to go. If I'm going to bet tonight, I think I'm going like, well, let's do a three game money line. Let's go Dodgers. And then we'll combine it with football. Let's go Dodgers. Bills.

[Spotter/Statistician]

Who?

[Rich Davis]

Dodgers, Bills, Commanders. I mean, those are two favorites. You're not going to get a ton of equity on that money line. But Commanders, Bills, Dodgers, three team Moneyline parlay. Just. Just have some fun with it. But I think, I think this Dodgers, Brewer series. Danny, I don't think you're going to get away with the bunk bullpen like you have in other series.

[Steve Covino]

No, no.

[Rich Davis]

I think the Mariner, the Brewers are.

[Steve Covino]

Pushing small ball enough to again make. Make some plays.

[Dan Beyer]

Recently they've had the Dodgers number, so.

[Rich Davis]

Six and all this.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And real quick, Rich Blue Jays are playing right now. They're behind, but it's Canadian Thanksgiving. Any Canadians you want to give props to?

[Rich Davis]

I want to say my favorite Canadian treat is cheesies. They're like better than Cheetos and cheese doodles, by far. So I like.

And you're Mayor McCheese, so who knows better than you? I'll give props to Ernie Clement, that guy. Guys like that who just step up and play big. And Lucas, guys like that. But of course, the great Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, the band, Three Days, Grace Evans, Blue. You know so many Canadians out there who've impacted us.

As far as Michael J. Fox.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, another great one.

[Dan Beyer]

Did either of you guys say john can't? Yeah, man.

[Steve Covino]

There is. All right.

See you in the promised land.
