Dallas Braden, Long Gone Summer, Mt Flushmore Of Things Chicks Dig In Honor Of The Long Ball

Monday, June 15, 202010 takes

We were very underwhelmed with the Long Gone Summer Documentary even though 90's fashion ruled. (-) PFT made a cameo on Billions as an art thief, and the NBA is back to being in limbo. (-) Who's back of the week including mini hoops and Reggie Bush. (-) Dallas Braden joins the show to talk about the Long Gone Summer, playing in the end of the steroid era, will baseball happen this year and Yankees cheating. (-) Hurt or Injured Video game injuries and the Mt Flushmore of things chicks dig. (-)

ESPN's 'Long Gone Summer' documentary stunk because it taught us nothing new

The long-gone summer stunk. It was impressive in the fact that it was a two hour long documentary that taught me absolutely nothing new. It will have—that's a—I've never sat down and watch which should be like a detailed look at an era where they—there were no new facts. It was a YouTube compilation with some Radio Calls.

This is a subjective review of a documentary.

Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Roger Clemens should all be in the Hall of Fame

Everyone was doing it one, you can't tell me that Barry Bonds isn't a fucking Hall of Famer or Sammy Sosa isn't a fucking Hall of Famer, Roger [Clemens]—like all these guys should be in the Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame debate is ongoing and subjective.

Kyrie Irving is right that the NBA's return could distract from the Black Lives Matter movement

The thing I don't understand—I actually Kyrie's statement, I actually kind of agree with. Like his point is if you're—if we're pushing for something to radically change, the one thing you don't want to allow is for people to be like, 'can we just get back to normal?' because like when you're back to normal, it's easy way of just saying, 'Oh well, like we'll deal with that later.'

This is a subjective sociological take.

Tuesday tuned in, we're going to go dogs at three stool streams. PFT, I think PFT's going to win. I'm hear he's going to win ping-pong against Hank.

Hank historically dominated PFT in the Stool Streams ping-pong era.

The world will end on February 10, 2045

The world's going to end—January? No, it's going to be after the Super Bowl, February 10th. When? 2045. Okay, that's my prediction... on my 80th birthday. 2045, I'm gonna go out with a prostitute and a bad batch of heroin. Boom.

The date hasn't occurred yet, but it's clearly a joke.

For many players, using steroids was simply a 'business decision'

This is a business decision and you've got to—you got to—you got to think about a few things here... am I okay with being able to look the man in the mirror... look my friends, family, fans, whatever. Can I look them in the eye and be okay with making that decision? And if at the end of the day, you can check all three of those boxes, that's a business decision regardless of who's in front of you.

This is Braden's professional opinion based on his career experience.

MLB owners are stalling to play the smallest amount of games possible in 2020

We're going to play games so that we can get the TV money, but we're going to play the smallest amount possible. Because this is all about a business decision from the owners' perspective. So we're going to play the minimum available. 50 games.

MLB eventually played a 60-game season, so Braden was very close to the mark.

Managing will be more important than ever in a 50-game season

This will be interesting because this will probably be the hardest season for a manager and the most that managing will come into play a game to game because like you said, first sign of trouble we got to win this game. It's not going to be like a Sunday in the middle of July where you hey, we can let's get the fuck out of Cincinnati we can lose this game and recoup tomorrow.

The 2020 season saw unprecedented bullpen usage and managerial aggression, validating this take.
