These guys have a lot to say, and they never stop talking.

So when I listen to those two clowns, I am not a happy hamper.

I've had enough of that for a marquee.

Don't wreck our show, you loser.

Live from News Talk 1480, WHBC.

It's a house on that.

All right, Dan.

It's Kenny and JT.

Oh, you made a wise choice, my friend.

Have a great show.

I am not a happy camper, either.

I am with the temperatures, but I'm not in some sports related issues.

And we're coming to you live from the corner of a six-and-market, in beautiful downtown,

Kent, in Ohio.

71 degrees right now in the heart of the Hall of Fame city.

And you, sir, are in what?

Worcester?

I am at the College of Worcester, the home of the fighting scots getting ready for tonight's

D-2-0-H-S-A regional semi-final between Maslin and Avon.

We are court side getting ready to rock and roll.

So you're in Canton, I'm in Worcester.

And we're everywhere on the internet, whether it's WHBC.com, WHBCSports.com for the game tonight at 5 o'clock

or on all the social media platforms.

It should be a good one.

The Tigers at 23 and 1 taking on Avon at 18 and 6.

And I started the program by saying, I am not.

I have a camper.

Stayed on the late last night watching the WBC.

Yep.

I had no idea that the team USA was going to get whacked by Italy.

Tony's soprano was in the dugout, man.

Well, background music, if you please, we can whack by the Italians.

You think Gianni Russo watched the last night?

Did he watch New York?

Dude, he called it in.

Are you kidding me?

He made me an aunt.

I couldn't refuse.

You better lose and you're going to be sleeping with the fish.

The fishes.

Team USA.

Best team ever assembled.

Why?

You know what it reminds me of?

What's it reminds me of?

Same way the Canadian sat there the best hockey team.

We thought we were the best baseball team.

We might be out of this thing.

It's a great point.

Thank you.

And I want to apologize to all of our listeners because I took the word of the manager

from Team USA yesterday.

When I said, hey, they're three and oh, they've already clinched a spot

because the manager told me they clinched a spot.

And tonight's game doesn't mean that much.

Well, guess what?

He was wrong.

Therefore, I was wrong.

They did not clinch a spot when they won their third game.

We'll tell you what they need to do to get back into this thing.

They can't get back into it.

But the other thing you did was this.

What?

You took it for granted.

When yesterday you said it's a spring training game.

I didn't think they're going to play like it.

I'm watching this game like it was a guardians game all the way through.

And then at the end of the game, by the way,

Team Italy beats USA 8 to 6.

Team USA is like sleepwalking through the whole game.

And all of a sudden they tried to turn it back on and win it at the end.

And they couldn't do it.

Only Aaron Judge would strike out with timing run on base against the team that wasn't the guardies.

The guardies come up against that guy.

He's hit in a two-run dinger.

In fact, they might give him a win.

They might give him a win.

And even if there was only a two-run homer, they might give him three.

He did it into orbit.

But instead in this situation, he strikes out.

Yeah, listen to how it sounded on the Italian radio broadcast yesterday for the final out of that game, right?

That was the pitch of the zodo in montage and quata del anci,

a disposition in Perfarra.

We have done the 5-17, the 5-17, 30 seconds, also 18.

The Cup, the Cup of Greg Viser, Italy, Italy, Italy, Batte, the United States,

the United States, the United States, the United States, the United States, 8, 6,

I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

Oh my.

Oh my.

It's like losing an Italy and soccer I can almost take that.

I can lose them and botch you ball, I can take that, I can lose them in a PT and contest,

I can take that.

Baseball is supposed to be our sport.

Oh man, they embarrassed themselves just.

They let walk through the first five innings now.

Having said that, it's eight to one and you know what I did?

I grabbed my betting app and I'm thinking, you know what?

They're going to come back.

They're going to win this thing because they got no pitchers left, you know, late in the

game, right?

So it's eight to one.

I think I was a plus 380 I got for three bucks.

It's only cost me three bucks.

Yeah.

Sure enough, they get it to eight to six.

They're offering me a buy out at four dollars.

I don't want stinking four dollars.

I want my 1750 that I would have won so I wrote it all the way out and we choked.

Dude, it didn't matter.

They could have pitched Super Mario against you, you would have lost that game.

This team was sleepwalking, man.

And did you know that after the win over Mexico, they stayed afterwards in the clubhouse for

two hours shooting the shoot in the breeze and you know, telling life, changing stories

and they must have fell asleep, you know, in the afternoon and never woke up.

Yeah, they're shooting the breeze all the while yesterday, team Italy is shooting whatever

it was.

They were drinking every time they went yard on this team.

I mean, it was like home run Derby.

It was Super Mario went yard again, Donkey Kong, bam.

I mean, come on, dude, they had the Armani Blazer, the home run Blazer that they put on

and then they did a shot of what espresso or whatever it is and they're all jacked up.

They're all hyped up on Mountain Dew.

They are.

I went through some of their roster yesterday and I had, okay, there's 30 guys on his team.

24 from playing the Bigs.

Okay, that's fine.

But most of them, or I'm sorry, 24 playing the Bigs and are from United States and America

born here.

We talked all day long about, you know, Kyle Nicholas and what's kid's name, DeSenza from

I believe he went to Ohio State from Marlboro, but you've got a guy from the Angels.

You've got a guy from the twins, the Padres, the Rockies, the Phillies, the Reds, the Padres

again, Red Sox.

They had to call up another catcher because their other catcher blew out his hamstring.

So they got another guy from the Boston Red Sox.

This is no fluke.

These guys are really legit, major league baseball players, but they're not on the level

of Team USA, which is a who's who all start team of all teams led by Aaron Judge and

you were getting beat at 1.81, but here's the thing, and that's why I compare it to a

Guardians game.

At one point in time, we're out hitting that team and they had eight runs and we had

one.

And it's unbelievable.

You out hit them on the game.

I believe the final number was something like 11 to six.

I was watching and I'm hoping and it set up for the dramatic comeback.

Pinch hitter, Rice Harper comes in to one, if he hits a thinger, they take the lead,

he chokes.

Right?

Then you go to the ninth inning.

He's going to get one guy on.

So Aaron Judge gets to come to the plate and sure enough, Bobby went with a bass knock

up the middle and Aaron Judge gets a chance to be the hero.

And like who's the guy from that show, he struck out at the last world baseball classic

who's that?

Mike Trout.

Mike Trout.

Aaron Judge pulled his Mike Trout part out and struck out.

The ball game was over just like it was three years ago already.

This game is on the manager.

Now tonight Italy takes on Mexico at seven o'clock.

It's on 2B.

It's a streaming service, I guess.

We're going to have to figure that out and I'll tell you what we need there.

But this as I mentioned earlier is on the manager who thought Team USA as you had just

stated already advanced to the semis.

Prior to the game, the USA was heavily flavored to win last night.

It was plus or minus 1100, whichever way you had it.

I don't know anybody.

It was taken the plus 1100.

So it was minus 1100.

Manager Mark DeRosa was wrong not to start Bryce Harper, Alex Pregman and Bryce Terrain

in that game.

And yes, they needed that game to advance to the semis and he didn't put his best foot

forward.

But as I mentioned, it's also a who's who everybody on team USA should be better than

team Italy.

Shouldn't they?

Should be.

You would think so.

Right.

Now that's the biggest win in team Italy history.

I've got to believe.

Is it equivalent to the miracle on ice when USA beat Russia?

Only if they win it all.

You can't say that now because they're going to be a huge underdog moving forward no matter

who they play with the exception of maybe tonight, which brings me to what we need tonight.

Italy beats Mexico, USA advances.

Mexico wins and scores five plus runs.

Mexico and the United States advance.

Mexico wins and score four runs or fewer.

Italy and Mexico advance and team USA is out.

Yep.

It's a collude to keep team USA out.

Hey, that way, yeah, you know what, we'll let you win three to one.

Yes.

You go, we go.

USA is out, right?

Now, you know, with all the gambling situations that are going on, I don't think, you know,

they want to take that chance, right?

Unless the mafia says so, Tony soprano, like a phone call, right?

How dare you?

It could happen.

You know, the thing is this though, think about it in terms of baseball.

What?

The rule of the Major League Baseball, if they collude, turn it up, right?

What if they do fix it?

Is that evil in the eyes of Major League Baseball?

It doesn't matter because it's World Baseball Classic.

If you fix a game, are you in trouble with the law?

Yes, because you can bet on it.

I can bet on the game.

So therefore, yes, would you be suspended with pay from your Major League team?

Emmanuel Classé and Luis Ortiz, I believe we're still being paid by the Guardians.

If a pitcher thinks the game in the World Baseball Classic, would you be with those two?

Great question.

Oh, thanks.

You know, will, are you going to want, I mean, if you can find it tonight, are you going

to watch the game?

Have to be in the cabs.

I have no idea what to be as I know what a tuba is.

I have Fubo.

Can I watch it on Fubo and not to be?

It's this big of a deal.

Maybe somebody picks it up.

I don't know.

I looked at my app and it said it's on tuba, which I have no idea what that is.

To be or not to be, right?

To be I.

Oh, okay.

All right.

Maybe it gets picked up on Fikes.

I'll be able to check the scores on my phone, but I don't know what tuba is.

Yeah.

Maybe it's free to download, or you get a free seven-day trial.

This might be the only time I watch tuba, you know?

I am not tuning in to watch Italy play Mexico in baseball.

I might.

I might check that out.

I'm going to watch calves, okay?

And don't forget, we're here at the home of the fighting scots at Worcester College because

we've got Maslin and Avon for you.

So I'm going to watch that first.

When I'm done then, I'm going to try and find whatever I can on the drive home from Worcester.

And then when I get home, I'll see if I have tuba.

So we're on basically until 430 today.

And you think that, okay, there's not a lot of things going on, but there's a ton of stuff.

We got baseball.

We got football.

We got basketball.

Take your pick.

What do you want to go to next?

My sports report this morning.

I started it on Kent and Sporting News with 83 points from BAM out of bio of the Miami

heat last night.

That was my first story today.

So let's go there.

So I start getting a lot of text messages last night, damn, BAM out of bio is on fire.

31 points in the first quarter.

And then whatever he did at halftime and at the end of the third quarter, I'm like, I

don't care about BAM out of bio.

This is not Kobe.

This is not LeBron.

This is not anyone I care about.

I'm watching baseball.

The dude shot more foul shots in that game last night than Donovan Mitchell shot in

the last four games combined about 43 free throw attempts in one game by BAM out of bio.

And he makes 36 of them, which is over 80%.

So, you know, not a, not a bad percentage if you shoot that many in one game.

Three.

Donovan Mitchell has taken 37 combined free throws in the last four games he played in.

Now, remember to do a little bit of time off because you have what hamstring or growing

injury.

Yeah, growing injury.

Yeah.

But how does a guy like BAM out of bio, I still consider, I mean, I, I know they say in

the NBA, it's positionless.

I consider him a center.

What do you consider him?

I consider him a forward forward stretch, whatever it is still.

If you have a small lineup in, he can play center, you know, to your point, okay?

J T between field goal attempts and free throw attempts, he shot the ball 86 times.

Now, that's just with the field goal attempts that counted.

Think about that.

He shot other shots that don't count because he got fouled and he went to the free.

This dude shot over 100 shots yesterday in that basketball.

He missed seven foul shots.

If he makes those, he scores 90, 91 in the first 43 by half time.

And 62 by the end of the third quarter.

Who does this guy think he is?

Cream?

Well, Joelle and bead.

Remember when Joelle and bead scored 70 through three quarters and then he didn't play

in the fourth quarter and one of the players, you know, brought that up because they were

trying to get different perspectives from around the league and somewhere applauding

him.

Others were kind of saying, well, we shot 43 free throws and bead only played three quarters.

So some people weren't giving him the credit, I guess, that others were.

Look, man, credit is due where it, where give credit where credit is due.

I guess I shouldn't say brand out of bio to me still plays for the Toronto Raptors added

to go digging to find out and remember, he plays for the Miami Heat.

They beat the Wizards, one of the worst team in the NBA, but I mean, I guess this is

a big deal because it doesn't happen that often or the guy's just a gun.

Second most points ever scored in NBA history.

The only player in the history of the NBA to score more points than BAM out of bio in

one game was the one the only wilt the stilt Chamberlain when he scored 100 points.

That's the all time record Kobe had 81 BAM passes him.

So I was hearing a lot of Laker fans are upset that somebody broke a record or passed a record

by Kobe.

And to me, you expect Kobe Bryant to be one of those guys.

I don't expect BAM out of bio to score 83 points in a game.

You could have said to me yesterday before all the NBA games started, somebody's going

to score 80 points tonight in a game.

Give me your top 10 guys you think might have, you know, it might happen with.

And I would not have picked BAM out of bio as one of my top 10 guys to score 80 or more

points.

Right?

In the league.

Yeah.

Right.

Or that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No chance.

Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Brown, Jalen, not, what did I always get?

It's Jalen Tyson Jalen Brown, who's the guy that just got Jason Tatum.

So Tatum, I would have had on that list, Luca Donchitz, LeBron, even, but nowhere would

I have picked BAM out of bio to place 41 minutes in that game.

So obviously they knew that there was a chance that he's going to break that record.

Otherwise, you're not going to play him that many minutes, right?

And it's the weirdest thing because in today's day and age, that's another reason you

wouldn't pick a guy like that because nobody's going to play that many minutes in a blow

out.

Right.

That's the surprising thing.

They scored 150 and they kept them in the lineup the entire time.

So BAM out of bio 83 points, team Italy beats the United States of America and a major, major

breaking story late last night in the NFL.

We haven't even tackled that yet.

So take that tampering period.

We'll get to that next on the Kenny and JT show.
