00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Buying showb So our lead this hour. We're here every night, win,

28
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: lose or draw. We have a talk show to do

29
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: every night. They say, come in Ben talk Talk Talk,

30
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Talk Talk. So I come in here and I talked

31
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: talk talk play every night. Some nights are more fun

32
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: than others. Yet four baseball games. They made a big

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: deal about this being the last time there were four

34
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: baseball games in twenty twenty five. You have to wait

35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: to the Cactus and Grapefruit League in twenty twenty six

36
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: for that. But I lead this hour from Los Angeles

37
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: and from the desert to the sea to all of

38
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: southern California. We start there a night in the NLDS.

39
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: It was gonna be a knockout night if the Dodgers

40
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: could win the late game. The Phillies in town, beaten

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: and broken, mocked by their fan base after an embarrassing

42
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: couple of games in Philly and the Phillies looking to

43
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: the Only time we use this term is in sports

44
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: stave off stave off elimination against the Doyers. So o,

45
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: dou't off you're watching it?

46
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: I was on.

47
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: TBS, so whatever that's worth. Maybe you watched it. Maybe not,

48
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: But Kai Old Swarber, Kyle Schwarber, who's not gonna win

49
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: the National League MVP, but he'll finish runner up. Kyle

50
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: Schwarber Hombert not once but twice. Now, not all home

51
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: runs are the same. You know, you have like Yankee stadiums,

52
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: like Williams Sports, like a little league field, and then

53
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: there's bigger ballparks, and then you know, Dodger State has

54
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: become a hitter's park. He used to be a pitcher's park.

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Now it's a hitters park. But nothing, nothing can match

56
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: the majestic nature of a towering shot. That actually it

57
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: upset Tommy Lasorda because it hit Blue Heaven. The ball

58
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: was hit so high it actually skimmed Blue Heaven, and

59
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Lasorda yelled down, what are you doing? Towering shot? It

60
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: cleared the right field pavilion at Dodger Stadium, called the

61
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: bleachers for most other people, but the pavilion out there

62
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium in a three run fourth inning, a game

63
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: changing three run fourth innings, Kyle Swarber got it done

64
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia will not be swept a domination situation, a

65
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: win over the Doyers in Game three of the National

66
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: League Divisional Series on Wednesday night. There it was the

67
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: first schwarp bomb of this postseason, and it led all

68
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: of the National League in home runs. Of course, in

69
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: the American League had cal Raley, but anyway, nonetheless, Kyle Schwarber,

70
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: big home run there, big home run night, and the

71
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: first home run the Dodgers have allowed here in these

72
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: playoffs to shorebur course, and it's been pretty good about

73
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: keeping the ball in the park. But Schwarber snapping an

74
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: over eight skid in the National League Divisional Series, and

75
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: he took a ninety six mile hour fastball and sent

76
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: it to the heavens off Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Schwarber becoming

77
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: just the second player to home or over that pavilion

78
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium as pops got it done back in

79
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: the old days Willie Stargel nineteen sixty nine and did

80
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: it again in nineteen seventy three for the Pet spurg Pipes.

81
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, it was a long time ago because it

82
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: was the Pirates who had a good team, and they

83
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: haven't had a good team in a very long time.

84
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: But so there you go. Paul went out of the ballpark,

85
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: which is very hard to do. Dodger Stadium. Game four

86
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: will be a quick turnaround in the best of five series.

87
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: And we played later on Thursday, late afternoon on the

88
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: West coast, six o'clock on the East coast, three o'clock

89
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium local time. And the game started here

90
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: Phillies Aaron Nola. He pitched two innings. That's it. But

91
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: it was really Ranger Suarez who came in and the

92
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: lone ranger on the mat. I had one run, five

93
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: hits over five innings and got it done. But the

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room, and so

95
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: that is where we will go. The better story always

96
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: in the losing locker room because that's where the drama is.

97
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: And we live for the drama. It's all about the

98
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: drama o rama. So we'll start there. The question for

99
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: the esteem panel, who gets the largest part of the

100
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts blame Bacon rapped hot Dog and if you've

101
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: ever been to a game in La, it doesn't matter

102
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: whether it's Dodgers or anything. Outside there's people with carts

103
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: and they are tapping the cart. Hot Dog, hot dog,

104
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: hot dog. That is what they That's the sign right there,

105
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: all right. So on this one, I've got Buka de Beppo,

106
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: Autumn and puffy sticker, and we'll throw all of these

107
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make some heartburn medication,

108
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: because watching the Dodgers off and inspires heartburn. So a

109
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: why don't we just start with the man on the mound.

110
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: The man on the mound, you're the big Boffo Soco,

111
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: big stud on the mound. You are the number one

112
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: pitcher for the Dodgers, Yamamoto. And this is not a

113
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: kid's birthday party. You did not need to turn out

114
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: to be a pinata. In that inning the Dodgers, he

115
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: got an early lead as Tommy Tanks went deep, there

116
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: went and runs nothing. But you still have a lead.

117
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: And every inning that goes by where the Phillies do

118
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: not score, the tight took his syndrome works for those guys.

119
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: Get a little bit tighter, and a little bit tighter

120
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: and a little bit tighter, so he needed Yabam Mooto

121
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: to go Einstein brothers serve up a bunch of bagels

122
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard. Now, he did start out pretty good,

123
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: retired nine of the first ten hitters. Then in the

124
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: fourth inning, right then in the fourth inning, how did

125
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: that go? Not good? He wandered into a Buca di

126
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: beppo kitchen. I didn't know they had this at Dodger State.

127
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: Apparently do they got everything else there, So they have

128
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: a Buka di beppo kitchen. And Yamamoto walked in there

129
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: and he put on some cooking clothes, you know, you

130
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: had the cooking hat, the whole thing. And he actually

131
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: served up a meatball. And I want to embellish it

132
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: because you know talk Rado can embellish it. It was

133
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: the size and I'm not going to go bigger. It

134
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: was the size of Jupiter. And Schwarbert put on a

135
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: bib and very odd to see this. You don't know

136
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: what this is. But Kyles swarb one of the BattleBox

137
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: he had a bib on and he smashed it to

138
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: the moon, to the moon, and suddenly the entire vibe

139
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: flipped on the game. The ball actually landed. We checked

140
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: with NASA. It landed somewhere in Pasadena. The baseball landed

141
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: somewhere in Pasadena, and so it wasn't just Yamamoto the

142
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: Dodger bats mister seven hundred million dollar man show. Hel

143
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Tani had as many hits as you and I had

144
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: zero for five. He's batting a buck seventy four, a

145
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: buck seventy four in this playoffs. It is Freddie Freeman,

146
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: oh for three, Freddy's batt in two twenty two, and

147
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: it's a quarter of the side of the devil. And

148
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: those are a couple of your superstars the Philly you

149
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: give credit where credits You mentioned Rangers four as the

150
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: lone ranger who came in after Aaron Nola started, pitched

151
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: a couple innings and shut the Dodger lineup down, mowed

152
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: them down like child's play. And it's always fun when

153
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: the Dodgers do not play one of the plus because

154
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: this era, you see Dave Roberts over there with that

155
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out later. A look on his face, right, Roberts,

156
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: always standing there like waiting for a door dash delivery

157
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: from Emmy Femi, rather from Femi to give him the

158
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: door dash. No urgency, right, vintage. Now, as for the Phillies,

159
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: I would like to nip something in the bud. Right now,

160
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm partaking in some of the some of the narrative

161
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: coming out of Dodgers Stadium and a lot of the bloviating,

162
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: cheese steak loving pretzel eating Philadelphia sportsmans are like, Wow,

163
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: the Phillies have all the momentum. Now They've got all

164
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: the momentum. The only momentum I know is Uncle Mo,

165
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: and he lives over in Jersey. I used to know

166
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: this guy named Ozzie momentum, but he kind of retired

167
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: from the show, so I don't know any other momentum

168
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: in that Momentum does not exist in sports. I will

169
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: die on that mountain because I'm right and everyone else

170
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: is an idiot. Momentum is simply an after the fact explanation.

171
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: If you believe in momentum, then the Dodgers should have

172
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: won this game. They had all the momentum. They won

173
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: the first two games. They had nothing leading this game. You,

174
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm a motor retired nine of the first ten batters.

175
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: There is no such thing as momentum. It is merely

176
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: an explanation for after the fact. Meaning is ignored. When

177
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: the team that is alleged to have all the momentum loses.

178
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: For example, we'll get to the American League later on

179
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: next hour. But the Yankees. I was told by Derek

180
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: Jeter on Fox that Yankees had all the momentum in

181
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: that series because they won. They scored a bunch of

182
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: runs late in the blowout Game two, and then they

183
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: came back in one Game three, And so how'd that

184
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: work out?

185
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 4: It doesn't.

186
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist, all right. Now, now we get to

187
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: the good stuff. Now here's a batting practice fastball. As

188
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: a longtime radio professional text me from another location, Mallor.

189
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: He says, your night is made, and I said, you

190
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: know what, You're right. We had the rare and appropriate

191
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: sighting of playoff Kershaw. I am still getting messages from

192
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: you idiots about a monologue I did when the Dodgers

193
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: did a mock state funeral when kurshed up it's just

194
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: final Hope game, and I pointed out what a failure

195
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: Kershaw has been as a Dodger. I was still got

196
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: a name of it this week. I got an email

197
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: the other day a couple day from so Oh, I heard

198
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: your monologue. You know always sar I used to like

199
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: your show, but which means you never liked my show, right,

200
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: you never liked my show? But whatever. Fine. So Kershaw

201
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: was brought in. He was tasked with the Dodgers were trailing.

202
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: He was tasked with keeping la within arm's length, to

203
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: keep them in the game down three to one, give

204
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: them an opportunity, allow them a chance to come back

205
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: in the game. Against the Phillies, bullpen, set up the

206
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: choke factor. How do you set the choke factor up?

207
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: You're within striking distance and that's what you gotta do. Okay,

208
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: So that was what he was asked to do. Kershaw say,

209
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: you know what I like charity. I'm going to be charitable.

210
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: And you get a hit, You get a hit, you

211
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: get a home run, you get a home run. You yeah,

212
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing. The Philly hitters I actually saw on

213
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: the Turner broadcast. Their eyeballs looked like saucers. It was

214
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: like saucers, very accommodating Clayton Kershaw. In fact, six of

215
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: the Phillies twelve hits, half of the hits for the

216
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: entire gate came against playoff Kershaw, Are you idiots defending

217
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: this guy? He got absolutely shelled your little hero got shelled,

218
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: Your little God, your little Demi God got shelled. J

219
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: t Riamuto and Kyle Swarber hit bombs. Just classic, just classic. Anyway,

220
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: here is Clayton Kershaw pointing out that he was bad.

221
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

222
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: Oh it's just a tough yeah, tough couple of the.

223
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Seventh get played by Tayo. And then yeah, I just

224
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: didn't make enough good pitchres I was battling command. You know,

225
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: it's it's hard for you're trying to throw strikes as

226
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: opposed to get people out.

227
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 6: So that was.

228
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, just wasn't a funny okay, just not a funny thing.

229
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: All right, here's the question, how did you react to

230
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw wetting the bed? He wetted the bed yet

231
00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: again at Dodger Stadium in October. So that was nostalgic

232
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: with the Capitol n and it's fitting that should be

233
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: his final outing as a Dodger. That should be it.

234
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: Either they're gonna get gonna lose this series, the Phillies

235
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna come back and win the next two games and

236
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: Kershaw should go away retire after that, or the Dodgers

237
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: win this series and Kershaw should not be on the

238
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: roster in the National League Championship Series. He's washed up.

239
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: But if you want to break it down even deeper,

240
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: you know what that really was. Watching Clayton Kershaw on

241
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: the mound in October baseball. That is autumn in Los Angeles.

242
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: It is autumn in Los Angeles. Now the rest of

243
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: the country gets pumpkin spice lattes, you get crisp cool air,

244
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: you get leaves changing colors, the signs of the seasons

245
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. You know that it's autumn when Clayton

246
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: Kershaw is writing the vomit comet over the skies around

247
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,479
Speaker 1: Dodger State, and that is autumn in La Clayton Kershaw

248
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: come boom to the boom, just like that. At this point,

249
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: it's muscle memory for Clayton Kershaft's like he can do

250
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: it blindfolded. It even looks like he's blindfolded on the

251
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: mound in every October. The man steps on the mound,

252
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: He's got the shoulders slump, the face looks like he

253
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: just found out someone keyed his brand new tesla. You know,

254
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: Kershaw's serving up for right down the middle, right down

255
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: the middle, batting practice fastballs. He called those the five

256
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: thirty fastballs right down the middle and the phillies. They

257
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: weren't so much swinging bats up there. They were swinging

258
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: tennis rackets, is what they were doing. And despite this

259
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: rich catalog of suck, every single time it is the

260
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: most fascinating thing the study of hero worship. Every single

261
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: time the Kershaw apologist in southern California crawl out from

262
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: under their palm trees and they give the same speech.

263
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: I'll give out the number here and you know, I'll

264
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: open up her phone calls. Of course, the Kershaw Marching

265
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: and Shadows Society won't call in because there's really nothing

266
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: you can say. But I know the speech anyway. I've

267
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: heard it so many times over the last fifteen years.

268
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't need you to call up and give me

269
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: the speech.

270
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 7: It's well yeah but yeah, but yeah, but yeah, but

271
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 7: he's a Hall of Famer, yeah but yeah, but yeah,

272
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 7: he's done so much for the city. Yeah but yeah, yeah,

273
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 7: or you have it's Dave Roberts fault. Yeah but yeah,

274
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 7: but yeah, but yeah. Okay, I've heard it all. I've

275
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 7: heard it all. I've seen it all.

276
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: Okay, right, so he did a lot for the city, great,

277
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: so did the guy who invented the snuggie. Uh, you

278
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: want to put him in the Hall of Fame doesn't

279
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: mean I want him pitching in a postseason game. I don't.

280
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I doubt the mayor of Barf City. And

281
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: the numbers since twenty twenty three, Kershaw's era in the

282
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: postseason is horrific. Since twenty eighteen, he's got an ERA

283
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: five point one, and since twenty twenty three has earnedrun

284
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: average is forty two point eight. That's not a misprint.

285
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: Forty two point eight postseason era since the start of

286
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three postseason. That is baseball armageddon. And

287
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: the body of language with Kershaw is another great part

288
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: of this. Right. Nobody does it better the I just

289
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: gave up another bomb face than Clayton Kershaw. He's got

290
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: it down. It is art. It is performance art by

291
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. Head down, that little lip twitch thing that

292
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: he's got, a little shuffle around the mound. You cue

293
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: the organ music, the mock funeral and as Jim Nantz

294
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: would say, tradition unlike any other now that would be

295
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: that should be it. And they're gonna give him like

296
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: seven statues because the Dodgers are all about that action now,

297
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: So why not give Kershaw a statue of him with

298
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: the head down, the shoulder shrug and all that worst

299
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: big game picture of the modern era. And it's not

300
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: even close. The guy is a picasso on a Wednesday

301
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: night against the Rock He's at Dodger Stadium and against

302
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: the Phillies in a playoff game in October on a

303
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: Wednesday night. It's a finger painting. It's a kindergarten piece

304
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: of art, is what it is. And they had to

305
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: dig up the mound after every postseason Shelley. It's essentially

306
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: a crime scene when kurshuts out, so bad, guys, he bad,

307
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: all right? Last word to Chicago, we go And this

308
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: was not a closed out game. It could have been,

309
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: but believe it or not, the Cubbies for ya, Femi

310
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: and Eugene in Chicago, and Tree and all my guys

311
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: in the mallad militia there in Chicago. The Cubs showed

312
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: that they are not ready to just roll over and

313
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: go on vacation and go down to CanCon Tee times

314
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: on hold, as Chicago put up a four run spot

315
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: on the Brewers start at Quinn Priester in the first thing.

316
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: But this series, what is going on? All these runs

317
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: scored early and then not a whole bunch of runs

318
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: scored after that. But Quinn Priester on the mound was

319
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: amazing for the Brewers in the regular season in the

320
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: first inning and then the Cubs had to hold on.

321
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: They scored all of their runs in the first inning

322
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: and did just enough to win by the hair on

323
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: their chinny chin chin as they got a strong effort

324
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: from the bullpen there the Brewers, but not enough so

325
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: they couldn't come all the way back four to three

326
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: the final in favor of the team from Chicago. So

327
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: we get a game four later on on Thursday. Now,

328
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: after the game, Quinn Priester, he played the blame game.

329
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: He pointed the finger entirely at himself. He said, quote

330
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: everyone else played real well, with the exception of myself.

331
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: That's entirely on me. Close quote all right, question, does

332
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: Brewers starter Quinn Priester taking the blame work for you?

333
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: So the way I'll answer this is, I do enjoy

334
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: athletes just admitting they sucked. I think that's important. I'll

335
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: give you a puffy sticker for owning it. That said,

336
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: it does not change the fact that he shriveled up

337
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: like a grape in the sun. Who this is a

338
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: guy that had been big balls, Bob our guy from Vegas,

339
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: big balls all regular season. And so I'll give you

340
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: a little bit of a golf clap. I'll call you

341
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: a mensch. Congratulations. You're a bench for saying that they

342
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: don't hand out like parade floats and all that for

343
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: quality quotes. In Milwaukee had opportunities like they were playing

344
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: with matches. Eventually they got burned here and now they

345
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: got to sweat it out. Right, Now you got to

346
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: sweat it out. You get you know, game four suddenly

347
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: becomes a bigger deal. I would play Game four like

348
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: it's Game five and you have Game five in your

349
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: back pocket. But the Cubs, now they can smell blood

350
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: in the ivy. Should not be blood in the ivy.

351
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Doc Mike puts them out there in the ivy.

352
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: But Chicago, they've turned this thing into a little bit

353
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: more of a street fight. Not quite there yet. There

354
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: is no such thing as momentum. But in terms of

355
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: circling back to Quinn Priester taking the blame and all that,

356
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: a guy that dominated during the regular season. Remember, as

357
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: the baseball marketing slogan from years ago went, legends are

358
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: born in October. Well, legends also die in October. If

359
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: you want reference, look at Clayton Kershaw for an example.

360
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: So you've got to do better, and you've got to

361
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: be better, and there's no guarantee this guy gets another start.

362
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: That could all she wrote. That could be the end

363
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: of the road in terms of playoff baseball for Quinn Priester.

Speaker 1: Phillies and the Cubs stay alive. So we will get

400
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: game fours in the National League. But we'll start out

401
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: here in the Bronx the Hour of American League Divisional

402
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Championship Series baseball. And we'll start out with a game

403
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: that could have ended at all, Game four of the

404
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: American League Divisional Series. There the Yankees looking to beat

405
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays and force a winner take all game

406
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: back in all, come, did you watch? Perhaps not well,

407
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: we got your cover. We got you covered on this

408
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: because we have nothing else to do. We wished an

409
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: entire day watching sports. Vladimir Guerrero Junior and that cheating

410
00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: astro George Springer each drove in a run, and eight

411
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: Toronto pitchers, eight Toronto pitchers shut down the mighty New

412
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: York Yankees lineup five to two the final on Wednesday night.

413
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: Than that sent the Blue Jays flying high to the

414
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: American League Championship Series. They've reached the final four for

415
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: the first time in nine years. Toronto smacked out twelve

416
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: hits in smothering the Yankees. The a L East champion

417
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. Well, now move on. They take the

418
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: divisional series three games to one. They will host game

419
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: number one in best of seven American League Championship Series.

420
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: That'll be on Sunday. We'll be watching football, but they'll

421
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: be playing baseball there against either the Tigers or the

422
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners, and those teams are set to decide their

423
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: playoff series. That'll be on Friday night in game number five,

424
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Game number five there in Seattle. More on that in

425
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: a minute. But the better story as we talk Yankees

426
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: and Blue Jays is in lou using locker room. And

427
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: it's always a special time when the Yankees lose in

428
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I know Supermarket Steve always looks forward to it.

429
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: He can't get enough of it. So let us discuss

430
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: the question. We'll focus in on the big Ragou, the

431
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: big ragu for the Yankees. So what does this latest

432
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: playoff loss due for airin Judges Yankees resume? What does

433
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: it do? You go to his Wikipedia page, you go

434
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: to his Baseball reference page. What does this do? So

435
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: I've got rewriting, academia and Nintendo, and we will combine

436
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are gonna make

437
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: your Babushka's favorite soggy nachos, soggy ballpark nachos. Yeah. See,

438
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: the nachos are like it's like my theory on fast food,

439
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: and I'm never wrong about this. I'm never My theory

440
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: on fast food is every second that goes by once

441
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: you pick up your food. Like I used to eat

442
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: fast food all time, but when you get the fast food,

443
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: you've got to eat it right away because every second

444
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: it goes it degrades. The quality of the meal goes down,

445
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: similar to nachos. Like it's like when I was a kid,

446
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: my mom used to make she give me cereal, like

447
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: give most kids you get cereal when you're a kid,

448
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: and I would get it and it would always bother

449
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: me because I had to eat it so fast, because

450
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to eat soggy cereal because the milk and

451
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: the cereal. So nachos are the same thing. But back

452
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: to the point, So what does this latest playoff loss

453
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: do for Aaron Judges Yankees resume so number Aaron Judge

454
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: is a magician? Can we all agree on that? Does

455
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: anyone disagree? Anybody in the back of the room disagree?

456
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is a magician. He is untract to do

457
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: the impossible. They and imaginable, the most mind blowing trick around.

458
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: Have a full career wearing pinstripes and get no bling,

459
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: bling abra caudabra, hocus pocus. It's wild. It is insane

460
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: to the that here we are and Judge has already

461
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: passed his athletic prime and has nothing in terms of championships,

462
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 1: which is how you are judged as a Yankee. Now

463
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: here's Aaron Jude, but we'll go into the locker room.

464
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: Here's Aaron Judge talking about yet another ending to a

465
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: Yankee season that ended the wrong way. Take a listen.

466
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 5: No, I like our chances, and I like our chances

467
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 5: all year as a special group. And it just sucks

468
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 5: for the guys that, yes, it might be their last

469
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: time wearing Fenn shripes. You know, I get a chance

470
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 5: to have a long run with him and in the championship.

471
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 5: You know, especially to the fans all year that have

472
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 5: been you know, showing up supporting us, even these postseason games,

473
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 5: even when we would get down, you know, they stayed

474
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 5: right in their seats, you know, cheering us on. So

475
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 5: it's just disappointed. We let all those guys down.

476
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: So it's pretty standard, pretty standard there from Aaron Judge

477
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: or the captain of the Yankees. It is ironic that

478
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: John Hayman and one of the great f ups ever

479
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: by a baseball insider when he reported that Arson Judge

480
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: was going to the Giants, but yet in the playoffs

481
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: for the Yankees, the teams Aaron Judge plays for. It's

482
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: an Arson job at least, though I'm gonna be Benny

483
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 1: Bright's people say to negative Malor, I'll be Benny Bright's

484
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: ot here, because it's not all bad for Aaron Judge,

485
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: at least. According to Fox broadcaster Joe Davis, Aaron Judge

486
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: finally had his playoff moment. He had his playoff moment.

487
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: It was a home run in the fourth inning of

488
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Game three of the divisional series that went off the

489
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: foul poll or the fifth inning wherever it was against Toronto.

490
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: Yankee propaganda aside, all right, Yankee propaganda side. Judge is

491
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: the Matinee idol for this era of Yankee underachievement. So congratulations.

492
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: We are now talking about ten plus years, ten plus

493
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: years in the Bronx Bombers uniform and he has been

494
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: given a team that has always one of the top

495
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: pay rolls in baseball, and yet in the playoffs bupkis

496
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: in terms of championships is thirty three. He'll turn thirty

497
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: four in April. Your athletic prime is ends about thirty two.

498
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: You can stretch you out a couple of years if

499
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: you're a superhero and all that, but that means we're

500
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: talking about the tail end. Even if Judge has another

501
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: couple of good years in him, and for all of

502
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: the crooked numbers, for all of the gaudy numbers and

503
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: the little trophies he's gotten and all that stuff, and

504
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: all you guys that love that exit velocity porn, you

505
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: get your you're all excited there because of the exit velocity.

506
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is the he's reincarnated as he's like Donnie

507
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: Baseball reincarnated or Dave Winfield that era of Yankee Baseball,

508
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: great regular season guy. And that's a team that's judged

509
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: on winning championships and all that. He's got no jewelry, well,

510
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's got a nice jewelry. He probably got

511
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: a roll ex Ra two because he's got a lot

512
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: of money. But he's done the impossible being what many

513
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: believe is the top hitter in baseball since Barry Bonds

514
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: most likely better though, because we don't believe Aaron Judges

515
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: on the sauce who knows and the clear and the

516
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: cream and somehow still not winning. Like you think of

517
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: every era of baseball with the Yankees, Babe Ruf, Lou Garrett, Jolton,

518
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: Joe DiMaggio, they all did it. Now the only ear

519
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: that didn't do it was Dave Winfield, Don Mattingly, that

520
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: was it. But all the legends in Monument Park, for

521
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: the most part, carried the damn franchise to the top

522
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: of the mountain. Now Aaron Judge again, he's rewriting the

523
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: Yankee history book here for all the wrong reasons. And

524
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: the man's going to finish his career as the best

525
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: you know what that means, as good as all the

526
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: US best player ever to wear the uniform without a championship.

527
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: Like he's better than Don matting and he's better than

528
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: Dave Winfield. And yet they didn't go down the Canyon

529
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: of Heroes and either his Aaron Judge tik tik tik

530
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: tik tick. You can hear it, tik tik tik tik tick.

531
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: The clock is ticking, and the Yankees so called window

532
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: of opportunity, while it never really closes because the Yankees

533
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: meant a lot of money. In all reality, it's a

534
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: very small window, very small window. It really is the

535
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: longest drought in modern Yankee history is seventeen years from

536
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine to nineteen ninety five. And then they

537
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: had the Joe Tory run and with him as the manager,

538
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: and Paul O'Neill and Jeter and then Jorge Posad and

539
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: Bernie Williams and all those guys, and now they're at

540
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: sixteen right now. The difference all right. And back then

541
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: you know they got they had maddingly in that run

542
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: where they didn't get it done, sad wistful eyes of

543
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: Donnie Baseball, who I believe is a coach with the

544
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: Blue Jays. Now they've got Aaron Judges blank postseason stare.

545
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: Now Judge put up great stants. Woo o O batt

546
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: it six hundred had a home run off the foul

547
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: Pole had his mollmut. According to Joe Davis, a Fox

548
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: had his moment. Six RBIs four walks against Blue Jays.

549
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert Vladimir Guerrero Junior was better. The other team's

550
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: top player was better than your team's best player. That's it.

551
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: And again, Aaron Judge, despite what Joe Davis said, his

552
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: signature moment is fumbling and bumbling and stumbling a ball

553
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: in center field in Game five of the World Series,

554
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: where the Yankees had a dominating lead they were gonna

555
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: get right back in the World Series, heft it up.

556
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: That's his moment. And this series in the Bronx Vlattie

557
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: doing backflips and carrying Toronto while they're in Judge can

558
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: only watch and watch the celebration a little dazed and confused.

559
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: And so the Yankees used to own October Man. That

560
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: was all Yankee baseball in October House of Horrors Yankee Stadium. Now,

561
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: I guess they rent by the hour. You know, it's

562
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 1: like a sleazy hotel. They rent by the hour, all

563
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: right now, Page two. So the big Komodo Dragon, the

564
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: room and the Bronx continues to be Will there actually

565
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: be legitimate changes? Every year the Yankees losing the playoffs,

566
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: and every year the question gets asked, are they going

567
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: to whack this guy? Are they gonna whack that guy?

568
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: So you've got Aaron Boone who is always being discussed

569
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: as a guy's going to lose his job and all this. Well,

570
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: here is Aaron Boone asked whether or not he's going

571
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: to come back. Do you think Aaron Boone is going

572
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: to say, Ay, I shouldn't come back. I've done a

573
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: terrible job. B I don't want to come back because

574
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: this team's a bunch of losers. Or see I expect

575
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: to be back. Let's go to the audio tape.

576
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 9: Aaron, I'm sorry on it, but it becomes a subject

577
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 9: every year. Do you have any reason to think you

578
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 9: won't be back managing the team next year?

579
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: No?

580
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 6: I'm under contract, so no, I don't expect anything.

581
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: Can I ask a question? I would like to ask

582
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: you a question. What journalism school do they tell you

583
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: to apologize before you ask the question? Does that guy

584
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: have no balls? Can we plan that again? I believe

585
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: I just heard a supposed reporter apologize before asking the question,

586
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: like what are we doing? What are your buddies with him?

587
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: Going out drinking with them after the news? Take a lesson?

588
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 9: Aaron, I'm sorry on it, but it becomes a subject

589
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 9: every year. Do you have any reason to think you

590
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 9: won't be back managing the team next.

591
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I don't this is Aaron. I'm sorry,

592
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Oh crap, all right, question, are Aaron

593
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: Boone and Brian Cashman the GM there in the danger zone?

594
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: Stranger danger? Are they in the danger zone in the Bronx?

595
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: So I am shaking my head. No, right, the Bronx

596
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: isn't the bronx anymore. It's you know, it's not like

597
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: it used to be. It used to be you lose

598
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: in October and it would be like Halloween. There'd be

599
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: heads on spikes outside Yankee Stadium. Now it's modern deferred accountability.

600
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,479
Speaker 1: It's uh, you know again. We say it every year.

601
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: These aren't you daddy's pinstripers or your granddaddy's pinstripers. Brian

602
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: Cashman has been running the show since Bill Clinton was

603
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: in the White House with Monica Lewinsky having a good time.

604
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: Yankee Baseball has turned in to academia. Aaron Boone, I

605
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: am convinced. Aaron Boon's not going anywhere. Brian Cashman's not

606
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Heck, they could both get promoted. They are

607
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: tenured professors. At this point, you can't whack a tenured guy.

608
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: You gotta jump to a lot of hoops to get

609
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: rid of a tenured professor. They've got lifetime appointments to

610
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: the Bronx Ivy League is what they've got. And the

611
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: Steinbrenner klan that owns the team, the kids like, they're

612
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: not They're not the boss, right, the sequels not the equals.

613
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: We know. You look at all the legacy ownership groups

614
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: in sports. They're just not as good. They're just not

615
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: as good. Al Davis was a tyrant with the Raiders.

616
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: It didn't go well at the end of our life.

617
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: But his kid is a joke. Mark Davis with the

618
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: Raiders an embarrassment, right, and you give me to go down.

619
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: Then all the groups where the next generation takes over,

620
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: it's it gets worse. It does not get better, It

621
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: gets worse. Genie Buss horrific owner with the Lakers, right,

622
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: old man Gray, she was terrible and she's finally sold

623
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: the team, I guess eventually, but she wants to hold

624
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: on because she gets to go to cocktail parties in

625
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. But whatever. Fine. So the point is that

626
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: the old man, George Steinbrenner was lighting managers on fire

627
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: every other homestead. He had a revolving door with these

628
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: guys like Billy Martin. Now you're fired, two years later,

629
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: you're hired. You know that he had I think it

630
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: was eleven changes in like a four year Spann or

631
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: some ridiculous thing like that back in the day. But

632
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: now he fired Yogi Bear left him at the airport

633
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Baseball legend that was the George Steinberners. Now

634
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: it's a daycare center right. The current group, it's just

635
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 1: a cash cow. It's the illusion of contention is all

636
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: you need. They're printing money, you know, the seventeen dollars

637
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: beers and all that. And I've been told by boots

638
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: on the ground that the luxury area behind home plate

639
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: is the top in baseball. Where they have the seafood

640
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: table with crab legs and high ends sushi, they have

641
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: the Kobe beef over to the sun and all that.

642
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: It's just insane, right because they appeal to the Wall

643
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: Street the one percenters there in New York, and then

644
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: don't appeal to the to the bleacher creatures and all

645
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: that stuff. And so as long as they can convince

646
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: the fans that just making the playoffs there and that

647
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, losing in the wild card of the divisional

648
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: round is equal to a championship. That's championship stands. The

649
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: Yankees have become a theme park attraction. They really have.

650
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: You know, as long as the turnstiles are spinning and

651
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: you're riding the dumbbell ride and the Yes Network selling

652
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: their ads and they got all the spots paid for,

653
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: no one's storming the castle. It's not happening. Aaron Boone

654
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: could sleep walk, right, could sleep walk through a ninety

655
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: win season, and Brian Cashman's gonna still be ordering catered

656
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: lunches for his army of nerds as Goose gotchis tremulus,

657
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: he said back in the day. Now, the real question

658
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: is who is going to pay the price for the

659
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: Yankees issues, Because why I believe Aaron Boone and Cashman

660
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: are safe, someone's going to lose their job. Normally, what

661
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: you do, as you say sacrifice one of the coaches

662
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: depends how upset you are. You might get rid of

663
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: the first base coach. If you're not that upset, you

664
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: get rid of the third base coach. If you're a

665
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: little more upset, If you're really really upset, you get

666
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: rid of the pitching coach and the hitting coach. The

667
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: one name that I will put there at the very

668
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: top is of my big board, not a list Terry

669
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: in England, my big board. The fall guy is going

670
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: to be Jazz Chisholm Garantee, Jazz Chisholm, free agent butcher

671
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: in the field, he was an All Star and he

672
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: was caught yawning while trailing in an elimination game and

673
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: then mocked the people that made fun of him, yawning

674
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: during the game on the field, yawning while the game

675
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: was going on. He's the perfect scapegoat, bad clutch player,

676
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: not a big time player. Two eleven batting average in

677
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: the postseason, one eight two in the American League Divisional Series,

678
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: underwhelming when it matters, underwhelming when it matters. And you know, meanwhile,

679
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: Brian Cashman is up in the suite stress testing the

680
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: next NERD approved depth chart, and there are already going over

681
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: who can we get on the waiver wire? Now, the

682
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: danger zone does not exist in the Bronx at this point.

683
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: It's more of a comfort zone. It's more of a

684
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: comfort zone than that. And as long as they're selling

685
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: the illusion of the evil Empire. No one is actually

686
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: in any real danger. Yankee baseball is where tenure meets mediocredy.

687
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: There's an intersection of tenure and mediocrety. All right, final

688
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: point to motown we go. And it looked early on

689
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: like it was going to be a bubbly bat for

690
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: the boys from Seattle. But then they had to play

691
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. And somebody named Riley Green

692
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: is somebody named Hobby Bias homeward four run, sixth inning,

693
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: and the Tigers are they ride. I'll roared back to

694
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: keep their season. I stand alive, staying up nine to three,

695
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: dominating win over the Mariners. On a sleepy Wednesday afternoon,

696
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: there a Game four of the American League Divisional Series,

697
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: So that means we are gonna get a game five.

698
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: Tigers force a Game five by winning at Komerica Park

699
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: for the first time in more than a month. They

700
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: had lost eight straight home games. How embarrassing, Lou Whitaker

701
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: and Alan Tramball, Right, what are you doing? Chet? Lemon's

702
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: rolling over in his grave might swall with you. So

703
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: the decisive game of the series be Friday in Seattle.

704
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: Cy young winner Derek Scoobel on the mound for the

705
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: MotorCity Kiddies against George Kirby. George Kirby. More on that

706
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: in a minute, But the better story he's in the

707
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: losing locker room as the Triedents blew a three to

708
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: nothing lead in the fifth inning. Question, how do you

709
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: react to Fox's Derek Jeters saying the Mariners? He said

710
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: on the Fox postgame he said the Mariners thought the

711
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: series was over, implying that that somehow is why they lost.

712
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: All right, So listen, Derek Jeter, legendary bad take, nonsense.

713
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: Manager Dan Wilson did the thing you can't do at

714
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: the time. He can't do it. He trusted his bullpen

715
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: and they the pipe burst on the bullpen under the

716
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: immense pressure of October baseball. So it started out with

717
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: this lefty, Gabe Spier who I looked at the they

718
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: had the stats on the broadcast. He had a zero

719
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: point seventy five ERA. He had allowed one run in

720
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: twelve innings since September sixth, So of course he came

721
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: in there and poured kerosene all over the game. And

722
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: then it was a funeral procession of relievers. People I've

723
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: never heard of. Eduard Bizardo and Carlos Vargas guys like that.

724
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: Just like bullpen spam came in and they would have

725
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: been better off throwing Robbie the Mariner fan crying, Craig

726
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: JJ in Renton, and no Stradinas on the mountain. They

727
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: all sucked at the time. He cannot suck, so Seattle.

728
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: What they needed was to call the people that used

729
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 1: to own the team from Nintendo and get Mario and Luigi.

730
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: Of course we know those are plumbers. Get them in

731
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: there to solve the bullpen. Some solid plumbers. So unsolicited device,

732
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: what can the Mariners do to beat Tigers Ace Trek

733
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: Scubel in Game five? Because everyone's go, oh, this game

734
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: the series over. Tigers have their guy, They're gonna win

735
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: Game five, go on to play Toronto in the American

736
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: League Championship Series. So the mallord advice call it the

737
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: Schooble Survival Pack, the Schoolble Survival Pack. You don't have

738
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: to win. See the thing people don't understand when you

739
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: face a number one starting pitcher, Okay, you don't have

740
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: to win the duel. You just have to endure it,

741
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: all right, you just have to do it. Now, what

742
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: do I mean by that, like the Big Dumper cal

743
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: Riley and Friends. The mission is not conquest. The mission

744
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: is not to beat terror Scooble. It's to contain him,

745
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: meaning that you just have to end up in a

746
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: situation where where school is gonna go out. He'll slice

747
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: your lineup up like a sushi chef and just cut

748
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: you up with a nice big butcher's knife. The goal

749
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: is to keep pace. The goal is not to beat him.

750
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: It's just co author the chapter. Match it blow for blow,

751
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: inning for inning, have Kirby pitch well, go to the bullpen,

752
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: have some guys come in there and get it done.

753
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: And you just got to ride it out. And you

754
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: got to either have a zero zero score or a

755
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: one nothing score, or you have the lead when you

756
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: go to the tigers bullpen or where they go to

757
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: the bullpen, and that's when the ink starts to smudge

758
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, and so that's what you get. You're

759
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: not gonna beat Scool, well more likely than not. But

760
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: if you have a shot, you just gotta you gotta

761
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: go blow for blow, blow for It's like a boxer.

762
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: You kind of sandbag a little bit early on, you know,

763
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 1: let the fight.

764
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,479
Speaker 2: Come to you that kind of be sure to catch

765
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two

766
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 2: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

767
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: To get rid of him to the third degree.

768
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: This is one big.

769
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: Ben gets grilled, all right, Cooperlo.

770
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 10: The Houston Astros are sticking with their leadership in GM

771
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 10: Dana Brown and manager Joe Spotted, despite their late season

772
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 10: collapse causing them to miss the playoffs for the first

773
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 10: time in a decade. Both of their contracts only run

774
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 10: through twenty twenty six, though. Is this going to be

775
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 10: a lame duck season next year for the Astros?

776
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: Well, every season is a lame duck season until they

777
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: get rid of Altube. I believe he's the last of

778
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: the cheaters still there. That's it. Yeah, tub's falling apart,

779
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: and it's just not a good team. And it sounds

780
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: like they're not going to spend a lot of money

781
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: to fatten up the roster. So it's a hot mess.

782
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, these guys are not forever. They're

783
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: not long term Joe Spota and Dana Brown. So I'm

784
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna go Yes, the Arrows point ds next.

785
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 10: The San Antonio Spurs have officially listed Victor Wembin Yama

786
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 10: at seven foot five two and thirty five pounds. That's

787
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 10: two inches taller and twenty five pounds heavier than when

788
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 10: he entered the league. Ben, do you think we were

789
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 10: going to see an MVP type season from Wemby?

790
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? What he did because he went to China and

791
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: he was hanging out with the monks, right, Wasn't that

792
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: what he did this offseason? That was what his big

793
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: preparation was. He had like the thing of silence and

794
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: all that. But I think the Spurs don only have

795
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: to like make the playoffs. That seems to be a

796
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 1: problem there. I mean, still, they should be better. He's great,

797
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: he's still fragile at two thirty five.

798
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 10: Next, former NBA player Richard Jefferson said that most of

799
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 10: his peers would have gladly accepted an under the table

800
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 10: deal like Kawhi if they were in a similar position

801
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 10: to him. He went on to say that no active

802
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 10: performer player would be upset with Kawhi. Ben, do you

803
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 10: think that's true?

804
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean from what I've heard, you know, this

805
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: has been going on around the NBA. He's not the

806
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: only He's been going on in the NFL. All the

807

822
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 10: All right, We're gonna start off with the question for you,

823
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 10: Ben Osky. This question is from Rob in the three

824
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 10: two one.

825
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: Hi Rob and the three two one as in Florida Coop.

826
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 10: He wants to know, Ben, what is the most memorable

827
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 10: game you attended that you still tell friends about.

828
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: H Well, I mean game for me, it was I'm

829
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: Gonna date myself, But it was Game seven of the

830
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: World Series, which are the Marlins and the Indians, two

831
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: teams I didn't care about. But it was it went

832
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: extra innings in Game seven. It was like the coolest

833
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: I've never been to a World Series before, so that

834
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: was that was absolutely bananas for me because you know,

835
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: it was the first time, you know, I've done something

836
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: like that. But I've been to some really good football

837
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: games over the years. But that's that's the one that

838
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: pops in my head right now. What's next, Coop? What

839
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: do we have?

840
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 4: All right? This one, I imagine is probably just for

841
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 4: Lorena and I.

842
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: Uh okay, I mean, I would like to know I've met.

843
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 10: I would like to know at what age did you

844
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 10: finally discover that Santa doesn't exist?

845
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: I learned that Honikah Harry doesn't exist when I was.

846
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 4: Eating Is that is that? Is that a thing? Honkah Harry?

847
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 4: That sounds scary?

848
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 11: I feel like he would be like that scary hairy

849
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 11: guy who breaks up there.

850
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: It was like a Saturday Night Live skit. Your Yeah,

851
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: now we have we have the Jews, have the mench

852
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: on the bench. That's what we've done. Oh that's right,

853
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: You've got the elf on the shelf. We've got the

854
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: mench on the bench. Go ahead, Lorena.

855
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 4: I'm as far as I'm concerned Santa Israel.

856
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: So you guys just OK, that is true.

857
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 4: I play Santa every year. What are you talking about?

858
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: Someone has to be.

859
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 4: I guess. I guess you have plenty of Stas.

860
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 11: And there is this man who's lap I said on

861
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 11: at the mall every year too.

862
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 4: Who do you think he is? Is some random guy,

863
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 4: some creeper. No, his name is Santa.

864
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: The lesson of that, Coop, is, if you're a good

865
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 1: looking woman, Sanna never ends. If you're a fat, middle

866
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: aged man, Sanna ended a long time ago. Oh yeah,

867
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, Coop.

868
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I was like twelve, maybe eleven twelve.

869
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 4: I feel mad for you. The magic is dead.

870
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, well find other magic. I guess what's next year? Coop?

871
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: It's ask Ben. Your questions are answers for the rest

872
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: of the hour.

873
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 4: All right, This question is from ferg Dog.

874
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: Hi.

875
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 4: Fergie wants to know how many pets do you have?

876
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: I currently have one pet. It is a English bulldog

877
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: named Moxie. I used to have a dog named Luigi,

878
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: but the dog was a lunatic. We had to move

879
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 1: him to a second home. But Moxie is my dog.

880
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: Moxy helps me write the Mala monologues. She's with me

881
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: pretty much every night, and her job, and she's my assistant.

882
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: Her job is to fart while she lays on my legs.

883
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: That's your job, and she's really good at that. And

884
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: she knows. She does not move. She's the laziest creek

885
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: sure I've ever met in my life. She does, She's

886
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: so lazy. She when I walk into the room after

887
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,959
Speaker 1: I get home from the radio station, she doesn't even

888
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: move her body. She'll maybe move her eyeballs, but that's it.

889
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: It's fascinating. That's not a garden dog. Well she looks intimidating,

890
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, if you really want to get her fired up, though,

891
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: turn the vacuum on. She attacks the vacuum. She thinks

892
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: the vacuum is a demon, and she attacked. Other than that,

893
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: what about your ani pets?

894
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 4: No, not to live with me.

895
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: No, that's something that you might date.

896
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 10: No, all right, Coop, I have two cats, two a

897
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 10: Penny and Piper, and they don't like me.

898
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: Oh I've never met them.

899
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting.

900
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: Well that's cats. What cats do they hiss? It was

901
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: one everyone knows that.

902
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 4: Anyway.

903
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 10: Moving on, Yes, we have a question from Cowboy Killer here, Hi,

904
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 10: Cowboy Killer.

905
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 4: Do you reverse in a parking space? And why.

906
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: I always try to back in to make a quick getaway.

907
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: In fact, as an adult, you're supposed to do that

908
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: because if there's a stressful situation, it's proven and you're

909
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna be so flustered backing up, you might hit something.

910
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: But if you park backing in, you're good. You're good

911
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,760
Speaker 1: to go. You always have to be prepared.

912
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Yeah, that's an idea.

913
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 11: I was actually watching this video the other day about

914
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 11: this guy and there was a big mudslide here in

915
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 11: California and his truck was parked and he tried to

916
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 11: back his truck up, but he actually backed it up

917
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 11: into the mudslide instead of away from the mudd.

918
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: No, seriously, in a stressful situation, getting out of it.

919
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: Like if there's a disaster or something, you gotta get

920
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: out of Dodge, you got to back in. And the

921
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: other thing is, and I also I complain to my

Speaker 1: least have to take a gas. Same reason. If there's

924
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 1: a disaster and you got to get out of Dodge

925
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: and you don't have any gas, you're pork You screw

926
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,360

00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: do it. I'm telling you. You know, something bad happens,

928
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: you got to get out of there, you know, around here,

929
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: if there's an earthquake or something, you got to get

Speaker 1: on the road and you're you know. Yeah.

931
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 11: I don't usually back in, but I do feel fancy

932
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 11: when I do.

933
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love the fact I started driving there were

934
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: no backup cameras, and I feel like I'm cheating when

935
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: I have a backup camera. So it's kind of really cool.

936
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: I feel like it's easy, so easy, cool.

937
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 4: I do it. Sometimes I mix it up.

938

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, What is next? It's ask Ben?

939
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: Your questions are answers. If you like this segment, it's

940
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: every week and we do something on people who have

941
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: accused me of ripping this off on the Fifth Hour

942
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: Mail Back. It is totally different than Ask Ben. It's

943
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: totally different than Asben. But if you love the Fifth

944
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: Hour podcast, we do something on Sunday which is not

952
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,800
