1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,439 Speaker 1: In the weeds. So there's a poll in the Athletic 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: put together by Stephen Nesbit. He's good at this stuff 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: and it's World Series related. So I'll start at the 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: top here, which team are you rooting for? If you're 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: not a fan of Toronto or LA? It was eighty 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: percent Toronto twenty percent La. To me, that makes sense. 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: That tracks. I'm not surprised by that number, are you aj. 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: No, not one bit. Are you kidding me? No? Most 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: people that are. 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 3: They don't like the Dodgers because they think the Dodgers 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 3: are ruining baseball because they actually spend money and try 12 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 3: to win. So people are like, oh, I hate the Dodgers. 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 3: And everyone likes to root against somebody they usually like 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 3: they hate. They usually like to root against the big, bad, 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 3: evil team, like the Yankees for years, of the Red 16 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 3: Sox or whoever that is right now, that team is 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 3: the Dodger. So they think the Blue Jays are like 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: the little engine that could. 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: But look at the Blue Jays payroll. 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 3: It's in the Tata I think five, right, So they're 21 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: not exactly the little engine. They're actually a big engine 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: that's finally putting it together. So there's really I mean, 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 3: I get it, but man eighty twenty, I thought it'd 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 3: be a little bit closer. But I understand. Because of 25 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 3: that exact reason, then the narrative has been, oh, the 26 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: Dodgers are ruining baseball. They're the worst team for baseball. 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: But in reality, they're great for baseball. Just people, I. 28 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: Think any team in the top fifteen would be ruining 29 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: baseball if they had a run of dominance. Do you 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: agree with that? Like any team? 31 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: Right? 32 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Like, if this was the Blue Jays, nothing would be different. 33 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: If the Blue Jays won last year and they had 34 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: some other recent World Series appearances, then everyone would hate 35 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: them and they'd be like, they're not fair, they spend more, 36 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: they're always winning. 37 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: Right, Yes, the team that wins everybody hates and more people. 38 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: I'll tell you this right now, more people tune in 39 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: to watch the great team hopefully lose than actually tune 40 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: in to watch hopefully that great team or some team win. 41 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: People want to see that big team lose, like whatever 42 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 3: team it is in football, the Chiefs, Right, how many 43 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: people root against the Chiefs because they're in the Super 44 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 3: Bowl every year? How many people forever don't root against 45 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: the Cowboys in football? 46 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 2: Right? 47 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: In hockey, it's any team in Florida because we win 48 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: the Stanley Cup in Florida every year. 49 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 2: Right. 50 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 3: In basketball, how many people root against Lebron James because 51 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 3: he's always in the finals and he's but people tune 52 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: in and right now, that. 53 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: Person is the Dodgers because they're there every year, right. 54 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: And they're there every year much less so than the 55 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: other sports when they've got their runs from Yeah, MJ, Lebron, Curry, Brady. 56 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 2: Nobody at home. What's weird, though, is nobody really hated MJ. 57 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: For some reason. MJ was like the one guy. 58 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: I don't know why, but if you look back, like, 59 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: did anybody ever really root against MJ? 60 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but not like. 61 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 3: But not like some of the other guys for some reason. 62 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: It's almost like he got a pass on that for 63 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: some reason. 64 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: I think Knicks fans, Pistons fans, like, think of some 65 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: of the teams in the East that Racers fans heat fans. Right, 66 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: A team had some good runs. 67 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: No, I agree, it wasn't maybe because before social media, right, 68 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 3: you would, I don't know, do you agree with me? Like, 69 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: I feel like Jordan never got like that. M Maybe 70 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 3: it was because of social media. 71 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 4: For for being as big of a winner as he was, 72 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: six six world championships. No, he never he never got 73 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 4: that hate. Although you know, did Shack ever get that hate? 74 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: Was with Shack ever a guy? Maybe maybe it was 75 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 4: just a different era. Now it's just all about the hate. 76 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 4: I can't stand that when you go to a Super 77 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: Bowl party and like your team, like all you Jets fans, 78 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 4: you're out of this, You're out of it by week eight, 79 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 4: and then you go to a Super Bowl party of 80 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: like the Eagles versus the Patriots, and you're just you're 81 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: just cheering against whichever team does well, and you're like, 82 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 4: that's done, Like just enjoy enjoy the games. 83 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: Jets catching strays also week eight? Try like week two, bro. 84 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: But anyway, yeah, they're definitely you guys are definitely getting 85 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: some knife emojis from Producer Lady. 86 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 4: That was because Producer Lady didn't stay up for the postgame. 87 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: Ooh ooh, all right, let me get through more poll answers, 88 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: what statement best describes your feeling about the Dodgers. Thirty 89 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: four percent say I would rather see them lose. Thirty 90 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: two percent say I actively root against them, right, Like, 91 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: there's more to it twenty four percent respect them, seven 92 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: percent feel mostly neutral about them, and I'm rounding up 93 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: or down on numbers based on five or more or 94 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: four or less, and four percent actively root for them. Again, 95 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: these are non Dodger fans that we're asking, so just 96 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: to give you a pulse of the care level of 97 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: how much hate there is. For example, here's how I'm 98 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: trying to put things in perspective. Aj I think if 99 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: we went back to the Yankees dynasty the nineties and 100 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: then dipping into the early two thousands, that number would 101 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: be much higher towards passionate fans rooting against them. 102 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 2: Yeah. That's because it's because the Yankees. 103 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: Now, I will say this, and there was a lot 104 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: of people Jeter got a lot of hate, and Clemmens 105 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: and some of those guys on that team got a 106 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 3: lot of hate for Alex obviously still you know, But 107 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: like I think the difference is is that for if 108 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: you watch the Dodgers, who do you hate on the 109 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: Dodgers show? A because he's really good, Freddy Freeman because 110 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 3: he's really good, Mookie Betts because he's really good and 111 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: just won. 112 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: The Clemente Award, Clayton Kershaw. I mean who do you hate? 113 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: Y'amamoto, Like you look at this team and you're like, gosh, 114 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: it's not easy to hate this team. It's easy to 115 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: root against him if you're not a fan, because you 116 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: don't want to see him win. 117 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: But who do you really hate? 118 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: Who can you look at on the Dodgers and say, man, 119 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 3: Max Muncie, Will Smith? Who do you look at and say, man, 120 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: I hate? This team is just a bunch of a holes. Now, yeah, 121 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: it's like who do I hate? 122 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? 123 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: I don't want him to win because I'm not a fan, 124 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: But gosh, it's hard. It's it's really hard to go 125 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 3: to the Dodgers and say they're all smiling. It's like, 126 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 3: I'll throw the Blue Jays in this mix too. Flag Garrera, 127 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 3: every time you see him, he smile and he's laughing. 128 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: He's having a good time, right every Kirk is like, 129 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: Kirk looks like, you know, the guy you would see 130 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: playing slow pitch softball. He hits dingers and catches at 131 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: a gold glove quality, Like, how can you hate Alahandra 132 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 3: Kirk at all? Like he looks like just a guy 133 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: off the street playing slow pitch sawtballs and he's dominating 134 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: the World Series. I don't know how you can look 135 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 3: at either of these teams and say, man, I don't 136 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: like him, because the guys are both awesome. Now there's 137 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 3: other teams he say I don't like the way this 138 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: guy does this or this guy does that, But these 139 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 3: two teams don't have that. 140 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 4: That's why it's a great series for baseball. And you 141 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: haven't even unloaded the fact that it's being watched in like, 142 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 4: like Scott says, being watched in Canada. It's the best 143 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: numbers in the US in years. It's being watched in 144 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 4: every household in Japan like it's a it's it's a 145 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 4: great series. And I don't think that that chart that 146 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 4: we just had up there, the twenty four percent respect them. 147 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 4: I bet you have a hard time finding another team 148 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: that gets as high of marks. But there's nobody with 149 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 4: any with any baggage. Like the people that have been 150 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: with the Dodgers. They've pushed them out the door if 151 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 4: they had baggage, whether they were good or they weren't good, 152 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: And so they're left with the guys that they have, 153 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 4: and you can you kind of they make you feel like, man, 154 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: I don't want to see them win, but I like 155 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: every one of these guys, like they're all good and 156 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 4: I'm I think fans should be the respect factor. But 157 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 4: also like, no, when you see greatness, know when you 158 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 4: don't get to see a lineup that's built like this 159 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 4: and treasure it, watch it, savor it, whatever you want 160 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 4: to do, because this team's gonna be around for a 161 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 4: little while.

And they had Trout and they had Otani 212 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: and they never even made the play Not only did 213 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 3: they not make the playoffs, they never even sniffed the playoffs, 214 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: like their season was over. Like as much as you 215 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 3: guys just clowned on the Jets, the Angel seasons were 216 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 3: over in May, honestly. So, yeah, he wanted to go 217 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: to a team where he won. Guess what he did 218 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: his first year he won. Guess what he has a 219 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 3: chance to do his second year win? Guess what he 220 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: has a chance to do next show the Dodgers win. 221 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 3: He signed a ten year contract. Get used to it, 222 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 3: because even when Betts and Freeman and Munsey and some 223 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 3: of these older guys Kershaw are gone, guess what the 224 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: Dodgers are gonna do. 225 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: They're gonna try and win. 226 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: And Yamamoto who signed. 227 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 3: For a Sazaki and don't forget Blake Snell signed a deal. 228 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: Glasnow's there for a few more years. Like, it's not 229 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 3: like they're going anywhere anytime soon. This team will Smith 230 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: signed for a long time. This team's gonna be around, 231 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 3: and when they need something, they either trade for it 232 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 3: or they go and sign the guy. And that's what 233 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 3: you want. That's what every team should be looking to do. 234 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 6: Yeah. 235 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: Plus, they have a rule to limit younger players overseas 236 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: from signing in the major leagues. That rule led to 237 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: rookie Sasaki signing for pebbles with the Dodgers. You're gonna 238 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: have to change a lot of rules. Just saying, okay, 239 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: we get plenty of people that watch this show that 240 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: say we love the Dodgers. There and plenty that say 241 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: we hate the Dodgers. I do not give a crap. 242 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: We're just covering baseball. But I'm giving you the facts. 243 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: I do a prospect show every week, and they're often 244 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: leading the charge with guys that are on their way, 245 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: and they have disadvantages for the draft right now, and 246 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: they're still beating everyone in the race to pick good 247 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: players amateur wise and then develop them. So we've got 248 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: a long way to go. 249 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 6: And a good. 250 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: Morning to Kevin joining us.

I mean you just you know, it's 324 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 6: funny because you know, Dodgers put him on the roster 325 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 6: and we're all like, how are they going to use 326 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 6: him here? Like what are they going to do? You know, 327 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 6: he had that kind of awkward outing, you know, out 328 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 6: of the bullpen against Philly, and you know you just 329 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 6: wanted to go out the right way. You know, he's 330 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 6: one of the best players ever to do it. And 331 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 6: he comes into that that spot and you're like, holy cow, 332 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 6: and I'm watching with the guys and it's basic low. 333 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 6: You know, it's not a soft landing spot, you know 334 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 6: for a guy who I know he's done it before, 335 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 6: but not used to coming out of the pen. It's like, 336 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 6: here's basis loaded go face a guy who's a pretty 337 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 6: good hitter. And it was nerve wracking watching that. I 338 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 6: just thought it was so awesome. If that's the last 339 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 6: time he's on the mound to get a key spot 340 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 6: in the twelfth inning of an epic game. To me, 341 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 6: if I'm picking a moment, that's. 342 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: It, right, that might have been the goodbye. I mean, 343 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: aj will say, hey, they might need him. You don't 344 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: know how this series is gonna. 345 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: Twist and turn right. 346 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: So my question is you're watching, you're telling us your perspective. 347 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: Are you sitting there the whole time and watching with Poppy, 348 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: Jeter and a Rod And if so, what were they 349 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: saying or was there one standout line, even if it 350 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: was just you know, a big poppy random joke. We 351 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: know how he's got one. 352 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 6: Line for days, he's got he's got one liner. No, 353 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 6: we're all we're all watching it together and you know, 354 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 6: we're just it's fun. The cool thing for me and 355 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 6: Scott you know this, right, Like when you're around these 356 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 6: great players and you know you're just sitting there and 357 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 6: talking bowl and watching with them is like the coolest thing. 358 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 6: You know, It's like watching with your friends, but elevated, 359 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 6: you know. So I was just sitting there being the 360 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 6: nerves like, all right, what would you do here? What 361 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 6: would you do here? Who do you like here? That 362 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 6: type of thing, you know, And part of it's just 363 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 6: fun watching the game, and part of it's picking their 364 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 6: brains to see what we talk about on the postgame show. 365 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 6: So it was cool. You know, Poppy had his moments 366 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 6: just making people laugh, you know, and maybe made a 367 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 6: couple of phone calls in between. You know, it's just 368 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 6: you never know what you get there with David, who's 369 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 6: the best. So yeah, we were all fully engaged and 370 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 6: amazingly get done. You still sit in La Dodger traffic 371 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 6: when when you're out so like, that's that's all part 372 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 6: of the experience. 373 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 4: That was gonna be my question at the end. There 374 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 4: had to be no traffic, but you already answered it. 375 00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 4: So what about watching plenty of traffic? Man, go ahead, 376 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 4: I didn't hear your cratzy circle ahead. Oh no, no, 377 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 4: I was just gonna say when you guys were watching, 378 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 4: and Dave Roberts went on and he said, I think 379 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 4: he was talking to Ducci and he goes, yeah, we're 380 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 4: gonna go with Will Klein and then after that we're 381 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 4: gonna go position player. 382 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: What are the three players on your panel? What was 383 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 2: their reaction? 384 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 4: Because I know what my reaction was, but I want 385 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 4: to hear what the good player's reaction was. 386 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 6: Poppy said, let's bring back the home run derby from 387 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 6: the All Star Game. With that happened, and I think 388 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 6: we all were thinking the same thing. It's funny, right, Like, 389 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 6: you know, sometimes you go through those games and you know, 390 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 6: and there were some lulls obviously in extra innings, and 391 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 6: do you are like, you know, I know people don't 392 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 6: like it. They want to have the sanctity of the 393 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 6: extra innings, but they you know, there is something to 394 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 6: play in a regular season one way and then changing 395 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 6: and not having a second base runner. But I get it. 396 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 6: I understand why you don't do it. But you know, 397 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 6: I think the the other story is Toronto. You know, 398 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 6: they made all these movies earlier in the game, and 399 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 6: I can't blame them for any of them. They're trying 400 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 6: to pinch run, pinch it, trying to win the game, 401 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 6: but they just had no chance to score. I mean, 402 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 6: they just didn't. It was basically you felt like, at 403 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 6: least from us, like Lad's either going to hit a 404 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 6: home run or they're not going to score. You know, 405 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 6: Springer gets hurt, Kirk who's hitting everything, gets taken out 406 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 6: for pinch run, or they take out Bardoe a long 407 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 6: time ago, and it just felt like you needed a miracle. 408 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 6: And I also didn't, you know, I was also wondering 409 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 6: if anyone was going to be able to get a 410 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 6: ball out of there, you know, with the marine layer 411 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 6: kind of coming in. It was that kind of night. 412 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 6: And you know, obviously will Smith thought he got it. 413 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 6: He bat flipped, and then I thought the Oscars was 414 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 6: going to go too. So I was just impressed if 415 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 6: Freddy was able to droll on the center field and 416 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 6: actually get it out of there last. 417 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 3: Night, KB, you got to interview Show Hey, so and 418 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 3: not only that, Show Hey did an interview post game 419 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: last night, I think with Ken, which I also I 420 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 3: don't know if I've ever seen before. So, what, how 421 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 3: do you think he'll beat tonight? Because he was on 422 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 3: base nine times last night? Right, how do you think 423 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 3: he'll be today? And what was it like getting to 424 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 3: be one of the few guys that's ever got to 425 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 3: sit down with Show Hey on Tani and talk to 426 00:19:59,040 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 3: him one on one? 427 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, Age, I it was awesome. 428 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 2: You know. 429 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 6: I was lucky enough to do it with him last 430 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 6: year too, so it was cool that he wanted to 431 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 6: do it again. And you know, as you know, he 432 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 6: doesn't do those right, So I think it was just 433 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 6: cool that a he agreed to do it, it felt 434 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 6: comfortable to do it. And I think two things. First 435 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 6: of all, you know, I just think it's cool to 436 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 6: see some personality from him, because he's, you know, he's 437 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 6: such a mystery to people who want to like dive 438 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 6: into his life a little bit. And I think he's 439 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 6: just gotten so much more comfortable. He admitted that in 440 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 6: our interview, like he's just he feels so much more 441 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 6: comfortable this time, just kind of wanted to be one 442 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 6: of the team last time. And I think you're seeing 443 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 6: that obviously in his performance. You know, when I talked 444 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 6: to him last week, it was hilarious. I asked him 445 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 6: if that Game four of the NLCS was his best game, 446 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 6: and he said, eh, He's like, I'm just disappointed I 447 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 6: didn't piss through the seventh inning. I'm like, disappointed, what 448 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 6: you threw a two hitter and hit three home runs. Man. 449 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 6: So I think tonight, to answer the second party of 450 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 6: your question, I think he's going to kill it. I 451 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 6: really do. I just I just think this is his 452 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 6: world right now, roll living in it. I think he's 453 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 6: totally engaged. You know, he does a postgame interview last night, 454 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 6: and then he's in the clubhouse and he's, you know, 455 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 6: Dave's giving a speech and he's kind of rocking and 456 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 6: you know, giving you delivery and laughing like he's I 457 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 6: I just think there is nothing that can stop him 458 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 6: right now. And as good as Toronto's offense is, I 459 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 6: think they're gonna miss Springer a lot. And I think 460 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 6: Showhy is going to just be awesome. That's my gut. 461 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 4: Are they gonna even throw the show, hey, because there 462 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 4: was a Hall of Future Hall of Famer on deck 463 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 4: behind him. Has there ever been a future Hall of 464 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 4: Famer that's been somebody's intentionally woped in front of him 465 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 4: to get to Mookie Bets. 466 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 6: I think at some point what's gonna happen is Mookie 467 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 6: is going to deliver. I mean, Mooki's just too good 468 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 6: of a player, and he's been in a little bit 469 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 6: of a run. I can't blame John Schneider for not 470 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 6: pitching to the guy. I don't blame I mean, you know, 471 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 6: obviously he broke all kinds of records last night, but 472 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 6: it's wild. In a postseason game and a do or 473 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 6: die in extra innings, you're putting a guy on base. 474 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 6: It's like it's unheard of. And I think they're going 475 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 6: to keep doing that today. But at some point, Mookie's 476 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 6: gonna make him pay. He's just too good, and I 477 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 6: know he has been in a little bit of a rough, 478 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 6: but I think that's I could see that happening all 479 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 6: day long tonight. 480 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: Kby, I got, I got. 481 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 3: Here's my thing.

What's 483 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: it like being a Mets fan having to watch the 484 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: Dodgers and the Mets not even being around and listen 485 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 3: as a White Sox fan. Listen, you're a lot better 486 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: off as a Mets fan. But what's it like? I 487 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 3: know you try to be impartial, but is there a 488 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 3: little bit of you is like, Man, the Dodgers are 489 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 3: what the Mets could be if they did it right. 490 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 6: Oh right, listen, at least you have the Pope, aj Like, 491 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 6: at least you got. 492 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: At least the Pope knows who I am, KB the Pope. 493 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 6: The Pope knows who you are. The you know, being 494 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 6: a Mets fan. You grew up, you grew up a 495 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 6: Mets fan, and like you're just kind of it is 496 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 6: what it is, right, So we've got eighty six, which 497 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 6: is one of the greatest of all time. I was 498 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 6: fortunate enough to work with those guys and become friends 499 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 6: with a lot of those guys on that team, obviously 500 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 6: with Ronnie Darley and Keith Hernandez for a long time, 501 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 6: and that was a highlight for me. Still good friends. 502 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 6: But I think the reality is Mets fans just can't 503 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 6: have nice things. And I learned that at at an 504 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 6: early age, and I think that's just part of the deal, 505 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 6: you know, And that really goes all the way back 506 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 6: to speaking of the Dodgers nineteen eighty eight, because that 507 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 6: was supposed to be the Mets year. They were great 508 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 6: that year, you know, after the after eighty seven losing, 509 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 6: like okay, we all felt like this is they're going 510 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 6: to win it again. They were obviously a great team. 511 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 6: And then Sosha hits the home run off Doc goodin 512 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 6: and like that was the end. And it really, for 513 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 6: the most part, has been the end, you know, up 514 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 6: until the fifteen World Series when Matt Harvey is throwing 515 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 6: a gem gets left in and I loved him staying 516 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 6: in that game, and then obviously the Royals get him, 517 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 6: so I ajy, we just can't have nice things. And 518 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 6: at least you do have the Pope. So you've got 519 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 6: the Pope and you've got Frank Thomas, so you know 520 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 6: you got. 521 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. We have to to people that you can 522 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 3: come but here. Okay, now my next question is this 523 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 3: people that don't know this. Behind the scenes, Yes, we 524 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,479 Speaker 3: have ear pieces in and there's a guy in your 525 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 3: ear and his name is Bartia that works that is 526 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 3: in your ear? 527 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 2: Okay for the pre game. 528 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 3: Have you ever wanted to just go and tell Bartia 529 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 3: to shut the hell up in your ear?
