Speaker 1: Okay, postgame rap time.
Speaker 2: As we finish up here in Cleveland, get ready to
Speaker 2: head to Boston.
Speaker 1: The Giants road trip will continue.
Speaker 2: Guardians end up winning the game, winning the series, and
Speaker 2: the Giants fought hard. They competed down to the final out.
Speaker 2: But they don't have any margin for ERA right now.
Speaker 1: They just don't.
Speaker 2: You're missing so many of your top players for various reasons.
Speaker 2: And they made a couple of mistakes today that were
Speaker 2: really costly. Maybe they have a better shot in the
Speaker 2: end if it's a one run game or two even
Speaker 2: a two run game.
Speaker 1: So ultimately they come up a little short today.
Speaker 3: Every double play has to be turned. Yeah, and it
Speaker 3: wasn't today, A couple of them. And yeah, like you said,
Speaker 3: no margin for ERA, I thought.
Speaker 1: I thought.
Speaker 3: I just thought it was a sloppy game. But like
Speaker 3: you said, they fought. You could only ask to get
Speaker 3: Devers up there as a time round, and I thought
Speaker 3: that was a great appat by kidsner to get on
Speaker 3: and we got excited. We thought, you know, go deep
Speaker 3: pit number twenty six, but it didn't happen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry, that's very loud, god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we were losing our minds over there,
Speaker 2: like that they didn't score an error in charge of steel.
Speaker 1: Anyway, it got cleaned up, so they got it right
Speaker 1: in the end.
Speaker 5: You were in the theme of doing everything possible, fighting
Speaker 5: to the very end. And I loved Andrew Kisner. I
Speaker 5: feel like it's the first time I've ever seen it
Speaker 5: used quite that way. He wants to walk. I think
Speaker 5: he kind of he felt that his odds of drilling
Speaker 5: one for a hit to get on base were not
Speaker 5: the best against this guy. Throw one hundred mile an
Speaker 5: hour heat Kate Smith, and he gets one with what
Speaker 5: it was a three to one count and it's on
Speaker 5: the outside. It's not a borderline pitch that ever would
Speaker 5: get challenged. But he said, oh the heck with it,
Speaker 5: I'm challenging. And the fans kind that were like, you know,
Speaker 5: belittling him a little bit because it was right over
Speaker 5: the plate on the as you know, the outer and
Speaker 5: third of the plate. But why not they have one
Speaker 5: to use and stop the action for a little bit,
Speaker 5: make the the picture, think about it for extra a
Speaker 5: few seconds, and then he got the walk. He got
Speaker 5: the walk after that, so I thought that that's a
Speaker 5: new one that has not been part of anybody's strategy.
Speaker 5: Until maybe until today, I didn't.
Speaker 1: Even realize it was a strategy until you just framed
Speaker 1: it that way.
Speaker 4: So I love the picture you just painted for me.
Speaker 4: I'm buying it.
Speaker 3: I'm in normally when the hole ball is in there,
Speaker 3: like what is he doing?
Speaker 1: But I like the effort there.
Speaker 2: Diehard a rope adope strategy with Kate Smith. If he
Speaker 2: can bounce back from this one. I did like what
Speaker 2: Landing Roup did today. That was about as bad of
Speaker 2: a start in a lot of different ways as he
Speaker 2: could possibly have. Leadoff walk to start the game, an
Speaker 2: error behind you, a blue pit. He's human, he's stomping
Speaker 2: around out there. Things just haven't been well for him,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't a perfect day for landon route. But
Speaker 2: I thought it was a step forward for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. As the game went on, what
Speaker 4: you really saw was the change up usage, really start
Speaker 4: getting up and having confidence in it again. He threw
Speaker 4: some really nasty ones. He had a lot of swing
Speaker 4: and miss on that pitch, and you know, ultimately it
Speaker 4: comes down to being ahead in the count. I mean
Speaker 4: it's that easy. It's easier said than done. That we
Speaker 4: all know that. But when he's at his best, he's
Speaker 4: got some count leverage where he can get guys to chase.
Speaker 4: He's not gonna be able to power guys like we
Speaker 4: saw some of the bigger arms Williams and some of
Speaker 4: the other guys that could just come at you with
Speaker 4: foreseeing hih velocity. He's got a nibble and live on
Speaker 4: the corners when he has the opportunities, and he's getting
Speaker 4: himself in trouble fall behind in the count. But as
Speaker 4: the game went on, I thought he did a nice
Speaker 4: job getting ahead a little bit more and letting his
Speaker 4: stuff kind of play, which it does.
Speaker 3: He did a good job right in the ship because
Speaker 3: usually when it goes south for him, it goes south.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he did a good job. Okay, we'll pick
Speaker 2: some players here in Cleveland.
Speaker 5: Right after this, it got quiet in here.
Speaker 1: Somehow DC closed the windows. It's really quiet. They turned
Speaker 1: off all the music.
Speaker 3: Let's whisper our picks.
Speaker 5: Now, let's go to seventeen and Dave Lennon.
Speaker 1: It's perfect for me. This is golf, it's perfect hobby.
Speaker 1: You get to go first.
Speaker 2: Okay, John, could we could throw John right in on
Speaker 2: the Masters based on that's a good audition.
Speaker 5: About twenty one feet like a pill break to the left.
Speaker 1: Nailed it. He did it.
Speaker 5: I did a golf tournament. It was nineteen seventy, and
Speaker 5: I know it was like and I did it on
Speaker 5: the radio. Wow, And I kept I was on these
Speaker 5: greens and it's on the radio. You can't just sit
Speaker 5: there looking at it. You have to kind of broadcast. Yeah,
Speaker 5: twenty feet. I would say it was slight uphill break
Speaker 5: to lift and all these people turn around.
Speaker 2: It slight uphill break to the left.
Speaker 1: Cli please?
Speaker 5: Who was the guy from San Francisco the anyway? I
Speaker 5: can't remember his name now, but I mean that was
Speaker 5: nineteen seven How long was that? Forty seven years ago?
Speaker 5: And they kept shushing me, and he was the one putting,
Speaker 5: and he stops and he says, he's fine.
Speaker 1: Really, Oh you had a supporter out there?
Speaker 4: Did you talk louder after that?
Speaker 1: Maybe Ken Venturi? Well maybe maybe maybe yeh, San Francisco guy.
Speaker 5: It was maybe another guy. I can whatever, Gary it
Speaker 5: was in all the it was it was so fun
Speaker 5: to see them to be on the course and walk
Speaker 5: in the course with him and see him the incredible
Speaker 5: things that they did. So and then that was the
Speaker 5: end of my golfing. Broadcaster.
Speaker 1: You've stayed sharp somehow.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to have to be getting shushed all
Speaker 5: the time.
Speaker 2: Now I'm not that fun of a feeling. I've been
Speaker 2: shushed before. I've been there. Ah, you want to pick
Speaker 2: first today.
Speaker 4: Sure, I'll take Carson Seymour for the win. One inning, lovely,
Speaker 4: fourteen pitches, eleven strikes, two massive punch outs, four seam
Speaker 4: high velocity ninety nine. Hon Gie's the guy's going to
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to be a part of the bullpen.
Speaker 4: I don't know if the starting is in the future
Speaker 4: for him, but that's for other people to figure out.
Speaker 4: But power arm in the back end of a bullpen.
Speaker 4: If you can get him to consistently throw strikes, He's
Speaker 4: going to be my guy for today and again. For
Speaker 4: a guy that's competing for a spot next year, it's
Speaker 4: it's a very good audition. Since he's been.
Speaker 1: Back up, I would say I'm really impressed by him.
Speaker 3: His fastball is averaging ninety six this year. That's why
Speaker 3: I texted Hobby during the game. I was like, I
Speaker 3: didn't know he had one hundred in the tank.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he was backing off the throttle as
Speaker 4: a starter. I guess. But when you just tell hey,
Speaker 4: go let it rip, you get a couple two tree
Speaker 4: mile an hours. Bum likes to say, there's a fastball
Speaker 4: and then there's a heater. What's the difference two three
Speaker 4: mile an hour? That's my pick.
Speaker 5: Good pick, good pick, thanks guys.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go off the board a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Christian Costs. He grinded out two walks
Speaker 2: when the Giants needed base runners.
Speaker 1: I thought that was good. I thought he had good
Speaker 1: at bats today. He was fighting up there.
Speaker 2: He also executed a wheel play on a bunt, which
Speaker 2: I was really trying to remember. When's the last time
Speaker 2: we saw the Giants even try it? But let alone
Speaker 2: pull it off. And it's not that easy to pull off.
Speaker 2: They don't work on it that much.
Speaker 1: And they did it. And I like that play.
Speaker 2: So and he made another couple at least one other
Speaker 2: really good charging play where I thought it was going
Speaker 2: to be a sure hit. So Costs for an all
Speaker 2: around game today.
Speaker 1: Good pick.
Speaker 3: And there was a good runner on second too. It
Speaker 3: wasn't like they had a slow guy in second, wasn't it, Martinez?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to do it. Perfect Good pick all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Willie.
Speaker 3: I know he had a tough day defensively, but your
Speaker 3: two hundredth home run is your two hundredth home run
Speaker 3: and his twentieth of the year twenty through the year.
Speaker 3: When he's going to right center field, that's my favorite
Speaker 3: Willia Damas swing. So congratulations to Willia Damas. Two hundred
Speaker 3: career home runs, and I think they got the baseball.
Speaker 3: I was looking at my binoculars and one of the
Speaker 3: ushers was walking up with one of the fans. So
Speaker 3: he'll put that one on his mantle.
Speaker 4: Two hundred home.
Speaker 1: Runs, it's a big miles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really cool.
Speaker 1: Good pick, good one.
Speaker 2: Congratulations, Congratulations, stay with the golfer voice.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 5: It is so weird in here with the windows closed
Speaker 5: closed and they've stopped the music outside, so there's just nothing. Okay. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go. Raffie Deevers. He got the base hit
Speaker 5: in front of the Adamis home run to start them
Speaker 5: on the fourth. They had had a hit up until
Speaker 5: that time against Gavin Williams, and the way they looked
Speaker 5: against he thought, well, he's probably going to pitch a
Speaker 5: no hitter. But he also got a couple of walks
Speaker 5: against him, and then he hit a ball in the
Speaker 5: eighth I thing I thought could have been a home run,
Speaker 5: but he hit it so high and FPU made the
Speaker 5: point that so high that it got up above the
Speaker 5: upper rim of the ballpark, so he got the full
Speaker 5: brunt of the wind. But you could just see the
Speaker 5: way the outfit is going for it going back, and
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, then he starts moving laterally to
Speaker 5: his left by about thirty five feet or so. So anyway,
Speaker 5: I thought Devers and then I mean, he's seen this guy.
Speaker 5: He's giving him his best stuff, and he gets right
Speaker 5: in on the hand and he still gets off a
Speaker 5: pretty good swing and just didn't get it quite out
Speaker 5: on the barrel of the bat and hit a fly
Speaker 5: ball to center. So anyway, I thought he was sort
Speaker 5: of personified what we're talking about, the battle that was
Speaker 5: going on. They got to him against the odds with
Speaker 5: a couple of walks. He's up there as the possible
Speaker 5: tying run and and Kate Smith got him. But I
Speaker 5: like the the battle that he gave him.
Speaker 2: So Devs is my good pick, good pick with a
Speaker 2: big day looming for him tomorrow for sure.
Speaker 1: You know he's thinking about he can have a lot
Speaker 1: of people in his locker.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, he'll be one or two thousand.
Speaker 2: Hobby knows what that seems like in those tiny little clubhouses.
Speaker 1: What's on deck?
Speaker 2: Sponsored by your California four dealers. Speaking of we're going
Speaker 2: to Fenway and look, if I mean Devers is a
Speaker 2: huge story. Red Sox have been playing so well, the
Speaker 2: place has been rocking. He got web on the mound
Speaker 2: on Friday night, Sunny Gray. That's a really good pitching matchup.
Speaker 2: So we'll see if the giants.
Speaker 1: Are some of these young guys who've never been there
Speaker 1: are going to be.
Speaker 2: That will be a different atmosphere for a lot of
Speaker 2: these young players than they've seen. It's one to play
Speaker 2: in the big leagues and then you go on a
Speaker 2: Friday night in a pen of race at Fenway.
Speaker 4: It's a little different animal. Yeah, it's gonna be exciting
Speaker 4: for them. I think it's it's one of the treats
Speaker 4: of the ballparks and one of the hidden gems that
Speaker 4: a lot of guys don't have the opportunity to get to.
Speaker 4: So the interleague part has made this exciting for everyone
Speaker 4: that you're gonna have a chance to go see some
Speaker 4: of these ballparks. So I think for the young guys
Speaker 4: that are gonna enjoy it, they're gonna realize how close
Speaker 4: to the Green Monster is. And you know, hopefully they
Speaker 4: take a shot on Sonny Gray. He does give up
Speaker 4: a home run, but it'll be a fun matchup with
Speaker 4: Webb and Sonny Gray.
Speaker 3: You guys gotta sing along Sweet Caroline from the booth.
Speaker 3: Let it rip.
Speaker 4: Probably not.
Speaker 2: Just give me a ba I want the I want
Speaker 2: the Red Sox to put a little video tribute up
Speaker 2: for Hobby Series with the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: He's going back to a place where he wont to ring.
Speaker 4: They did it for me. I told you when we
Speaker 4: played there and ten years ago. I mean, that's okay,
Speaker 4: coming up on twenty years next year, is that amazing?
Speaker 4: Is that good? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Abby's first World Series win was nineteen years.
Speaker 4: Make sure you signed the Monster.
Speaker 1: We should all do that.
Speaker 4: We're not too are we. Who's gonna stop you?
Speaker 5: You couldn't like the interior alignment from Boston College that
Speaker 5: they pay you that. Yeah, somebody runs out in the field,
Speaker 5: they beat the hell out.
Speaker 1: Well, we might test them tomorrow.
Speaker 5: We'll see you, they it could be dangerous.
Speaker 1: You go first, perfect, I'm up for it. What's on deck?
