1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Jason Hammer won half of the Hammer in Nigel Afternoon

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Show with this Cub shirt on. Ready to be disappointed

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: this afternoon?

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I believe it was Barry Manilo the one

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: said I'm ready to take a chance again and listen.

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: Did not expect the Cubs to be in the playoffs

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: this year when the season started because the Ricketts family

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: that owns the Cubs, they run that thing like it's

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Pirates. They act like they're broke. They act

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: like they have no money, despite the fact they've got

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: their own network. They're selling tickets in the bleachers for

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: over one hundred dollars for a random Tuesday game against

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks. They own part of the area around Wrigleyville,

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: some of the rooftop areas, the bars. They've got everything.

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: They're third in all of baseball and total revenue. But

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year, the Rickets family when

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: asked whye they don't spend more money on free agents,

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: We're just trying to break even. Oh, bull crap. If

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: you want to spend just a little money, you would

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: have had the best record in the league instead of

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: playing in the wild card round.

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: He's supposed kind of ridiculous. Now, and do they still

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: do the guy on second base and overtime the plays. Okay,

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: so we have real baseball, but you still can only

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: throw over to first base a certain amount of times.

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: There's still a pitch clock, correct, because you know, shaving

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: that ten minutes is going to make all the difference.

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't I was not going to watch the game,

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: but now I know it'll be two hours and forty

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: eight minutes and still two hours and fifty eight minutes,

31
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: so I'll definitely like that's their theory, that's their working.

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: They're not the cub. They didn't make the run. Baseball, like,

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: in general, baseball is like ten minutes. Let's just totally disrupt,

34
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred plus years of tradition, and let's

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: put all these stupid, wacky, ridiculous rules in because it'll

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: make the game game ten minutes faster.

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: They're trying to appeal to the folks that probably weren't

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: watching baseball anyway, exactly right, and guys that love baseball,

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: like I put myself in that category, you're gonna watch it.

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch it anyway, right, And next year they're

41
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: gonna do what they did in the All Star Game,

42
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: where you've basically got a couple challenges each game for

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: balls and strikes. We're calling this the Angel Hernandez rule

44
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: because there's a reason you know the name Angel Hernandez,

45
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: and it's not because he was a fantastic umpire.

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: So just another reason for me not to watch baseball.

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: Our umpires are so bad that we have to have

48
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: reviews on balls and strikes now. And uh, okay, but

49
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: the Cubs play at four oh nine today, three to

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: zho nine. Okay, three o'clock. I don't know why I

51
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: saw four all nine. Anyway, I don't give fake news.

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: So it's three o'clock, first pitch.

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: There's a game before that, the Indians and the Tigers.

54
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: They get going right around noon or won and didn't

55
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: aren't they They're in the same division, so didn't the

56
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: Indians have a great run at the end, but to

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: pass the Tigers. The Tigers had like a ninety eight

58
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: percent chance of winning the division when the month started,

59
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: and the Indians just went on an unbelievable run won

60
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: the division. And now they've got the home field and

61
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: look the Reds Reds backdoored their way into the playoffs

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: because the Mets collapsed and the Reds are in action

63
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: tonight nine o'clock against the Dodgers. Is that going to

64
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: create some tension around your house? Not necessarily, but they're

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: not playing each other all root for the Reds, you know,

66
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Screw the Dodgers, Go Reds. If I have to pick

67
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback in baseball, right, my number two team

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: probably the Reds because my old man and my youngest.

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 2: But no, it's kind of fun having the Cubs and

70
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: the Reds in even though expectations are kind of low

71
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: for both. Cubs have the home field, but eh, I

72
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: don't think anybody feels real strong with that bullpen.

73
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of big events, Friday, isn't there something big going

74
