1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: From the Berkshars to the sound from wherever you live

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: in MLB America. This is inside the Parker. You give

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: us twenty two minutes and we'll give you the scoop

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: on major League Baseball.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: Now.

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Here's Baseball Hall of Fame voter number fifty seven, Rob Parker.

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 3: Come on, I've been covering Major League Baseball for almost

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: forty years now, in New York, in Cincinnati, in Detroit,

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 3: in LA.

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 4: I love this game.

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: Let's go. Welcome into the podcast. I'm your host, Rob Parkin.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 3: What a great show we have for you today. Baseball

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: Division playoffs or or underway. Will dive into all of that.

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: Plus my latest appearance on MLB Now MLB Network. Some

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: good stuff there. Me and Brian Kenny get at it

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: that and much more. Let's go better up.

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: To lead off. It's getting rocked to keep them on.

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: Rob's hot take.

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: On the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number one,

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: it should come as.

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 5: No surprise that we're not going to see the New

22
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 5: York Yankees in the ALCS or possibly the World Series.

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 5: They get knocked out on Wednesday night by the Toronto

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 5: Blue Jays.

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: Remember they tied for the division.

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 5: The only reason the Blue Jays had the better home

27
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: field advantage was they beat the Yankees and the tiebreaker

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 5: so they had the same record, and the Yankees go

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 5: down disappointing for a lot of people. Obviously, people had

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 5: high expectations whenever the Yankees are involved. People are looking

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 5: for the Yankees to win a World Series, which they

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 5: haven't done since two thousand and nine. It's a drought.

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 5: It's an official drought. It's been long. They've had some chances,

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 5: the cheating Astros beat them. Has to go to World

35
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 5: Series at one point, we know the Astros cheated during that.

36
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: They lose to the Dodgers last year with a chance

37
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: to maybe win a World Series that didn't happen.

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 5: And now here in the divisional round they lose to

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 5: the Blue Jays in four games.

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: You know they the Blue Jays do a bullpen game.

41
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: The Yankees couldn't hit, couldn't get enough hits, couldn't get

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 3: any timely hits. That's what baseball is about. They left

43
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 3: a million guys on base. It's about timely hitting, it's

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: about defense. There was a Jazz Chisholm era that led

45
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: to two earned runs, so they possibly uh would have

46
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: lost three to two instead of five to two, or

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: any way you look at it. Put it ain't the

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: end of the world. I mean, it's a good team.

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: They had some injuries, they lost some pitching people we

50
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 5: all know Garret Cole was lost, and they somehow still

51
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 5: were able to tie for the top of the al

52
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: least beat the Red Sox to hated Red Sox and

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 5: the three game series. Remember they lost game one. They

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 5: won the next two games to win that series. That

55
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 5: was a big deal and people had high hopes that

56
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: they could beat the Blue Jays. But they're starting pitching

57
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: wasn't good enough. And starting pitching eer is.

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: You know, a chubby fourteen fifteen whatever it was, eighteen.

59
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: It was just awful. You can't win what that kind

60
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: of pitching.

61
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: As for the Blue Jays, they move on. It's a nondescript,

62
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 5: weird team to me, like they don't have anything built.

63
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 5: They got knocked out the last couple of years in

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: the Wild Card. They couldn't win a game. It's just

65
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: a weird team. The bullpen had some issues. Not the

66
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 5: greatest starting pitching.

67
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: They hit the ball, get timely hits, they can hit

68
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: home runs, and they usually feel well. They made some

69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: miscuse against the Yankees that cost him Game three. That

70
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: was unusual.

71
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 5: But do I see them winning the World Series. I don't.

72
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 5: It would be interesting if they were able to make it,

73
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 5: depending on who comes out of that Tigers Mariner series.

74
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 5: But a lot of disappointed people in New York, a

75
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 5: lot of happy people in Toronto.

76
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: And it is what it is.

77
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 5: The Blue Jays hit better against the Yankees, starting pitching,

78
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 5: and that was it.

79
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: And when it comes to Judge, the guy bat at

80
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: five hundred, I'm just going to end it at that.

81
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: I'm not going to make a conversation coming off that

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 5: bad era he made against the Dodgers last year in

83
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 5: Game five, where he dropped an easy pop up which

84
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 5: led to five on our runs and the Yankees losing

85
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 5: that game.

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: Judge bounced back at an MVP type season and batted

87
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: five hundred in the playoffs and had an iconic home

88
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: run that people will always remember, hitting the foul poll

89
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 3: in Game three against the Blue Jays. So Jay's move on.

90
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 6: Yankees are out number two the Dodgers in Phillies Game

91
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 6: four in Los Angeles on Thursday, Dodgers trying to win

92
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 6: move on to the NLCS.

93
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: Phillies trying to extend their season coming into the playoffs.

94
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: The Phillies with.

95
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: A favorite to win the World Series, not just to

96
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 5: get to the NLCS, but to win the World Series.

97
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 5: Of course, two bad losses at home, and I just

98
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 5: wonder Dodgers got lucky. In Game two, Phillies ran themselves

99
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 5: out of a potential big inning comeback against.

100
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: The Dodgers bullpen. The Dodger bullpen still scares me. I

101
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: think the Phillies still have a chance to beat the

102
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: Dodgers in this series. I really do.

103
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: Clinton Kershaw got knocked around like a rag doll yesterday

104
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 5: coming out of the bullpen in a two run game

105
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 5: that blew it open for the Phillies.

106
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: Got Sanchez going for the Phillies against Glass. Now in

107
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: Game four, think about it.

108
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 5: The Phillies came to Los Angeles and beat Yamamoto, who

109
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 5: had been like spectacular. I can't even you can't even

110
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 5: say he had been good.

111
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 7: He was.

112
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: He had been spectacular coming in. He had eight straight

113
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: starts with four or fewer hits allowed and a scoreless

114
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: streak of twenty four straight inning Like that, how's dominant

115
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: he had been? And yet somehow, some way, they.

116
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 5: Got to him three earned runs in four innings.

117
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: That I mean doesn't sound like a lot.

118
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: That's a lot considering how great Yamamoto had been for

119
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 5: the Dodgers.

120
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: So that's a big chip for the Phillies to buck

121
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: the odds there. Aaron Nola was the start. All I

122
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: kept hearing all day was Aaron Nola starting. Aaron Nola'

123
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: is the opener. How are they gonna beat Yamamoto? They

124
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: they want they beat the game that Yamamodos started. So

125
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 3: the Phillies are. Phillies are in good shape if they

126
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: can take this and bring it back to Philly. They

127
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: should have won Game two, should have won Game two

128
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: and it would be two to one, and they didn't

129
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: have a chance to be closing out the Dodgers today. Instead,

130
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: on Thursday, they need to tire to extend the series

131
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: and bring a Game five back to Los.

132
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Angeles, number three.

133
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 8: This will be interesting. The Tigers and the Mariners Game

134
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 8: five on Friday in Seattle. Detroit looked dead through game four.

135
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: Through six innings, they had nothing to god, they were

136
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: losing three nothing, and they stormed back with nine straight runs.

137
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: They win the game nine to three, force a fifth

138
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: and deciding game in Seattle, and with your a's on

139
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: the mound and Tark School, will you feel good? Like,

140
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: if you're the Tigers, it's set up perfect. We got

141
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: our guy and we'll be able to win. Remember Tarak

142
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 3: Schoolbul started Game two and the Tigers didn't win that game.

143
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: And somehow, somehow.

144
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: Tark schoolbls owing three against the Mariners with an ERA

145
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: of almost five.

146
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: Really as good as this guy's been, Like, nobody has

147
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: that against him. So that'll be interesting to see how

148
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: that plays out and whether or not the Mariners can

149
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: beat Tarrek Schoubel. And then here's the other thing that's

150
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: scary when you score that many runs and you're the Tigers.

151
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: They don't score for Tarak schoobl did they did they

152
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: unload their gun in Game four with the nine runs,

153
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: you know, and then they're gonna wind up getting none

154
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: or one run in Seattle. Like that's the scary part

155
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: whenever you score that many runs. So that's one that

156
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: really really is gonna be interesting to see. The Mariners

157
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: have been trying for ever to get there and get

158
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: a shot at a.

159
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 5: World Series, and here's an opportunity. They're at home against

160
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 5: the Tigers. Remember the Tigers won Game one in Seattle

161
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: and then Mariners won Game two against and the start

162
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 5: that school had, so this will be interesting. I'm gonna

163
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 5: pick the Mariners to advance and move on. The Tigers

164
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 5: have been just too up and down Feaster Famine for

165
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: me to feel confident. I don't know which team, and

166
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 5: they don't score runs for targ school. Well, in that

167
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 5: game two, he would have gave up two solo home

168
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 5: runs and didn't get a W.

169
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: Tigers had the tighter game late when he was out,

170
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: and then they lost late three to two, but they scuffled.

171
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: They don't score for him. And I remember against in

172
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: Game five last year in Cleveland, the Guardians beat schoobl

173
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: in that game.

174
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 5: So when it comes to big games, big moments, here's

175
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 5: an opportunity for school bol. Maybe he has to picture

176
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 5: a shutout or no hitter or I know it sounds ridiculous,

177
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 5: or one hitter in order for the Tigers to win.

178
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna go with the Mariners in this. That's

179
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: gonna be a game I can't wait to sit down

180
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 5: and watch on Friday. So a lot of great baseball

181
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 5: actions still going on, and when it comes to the

182
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: Cubs and Brewers again. The Brewers came into this postseason

183
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 5: losers of eleven of thirteen postseason games. They have a

184
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: two to one lead against the Cubs. Cubs finally got

185
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 5: into the series with a win on Wednesday. It's two

186
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 5: to one. Cubs trying to tie the series at two

187
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 5: to two on Thursday and force a game five in Milwaukee.

188
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,359
Speaker 3: I like Milwaukee.

189
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 5: I think that they'll wrap this up finally, maybe they'll

190
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 5: get over the hump. I was afraid that maybe Milwaukee

191
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 5: had that they had peaked too early when they had

192
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: that twenty nine and four stretch and they won all

193
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 5: those games.

194
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: Baseball has a way of even themselves out. But it's

195
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: just not the case. They won their.

196
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 5: First two games at home, they got their finally after

197
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: so many disappointing postseason games, and now they just need

198
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 5: to close out the Cubs and move on and then

199
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 5: wait for the winner of the Dodgers and Phillies series.

200
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,359
Speaker 3: So a lot to go on. I like the Brewers

201
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: on Thursday. I also like the Mariners on Friday. And

202
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm picking the Phillies on Thursday to win two games

203
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: back to back at Dodger Stadium and force a fifth

204
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 3: and deciding game in Philadelphia.

205

Speaker 11: Wow, John Sterling starts spreading the news, taking hits.

251
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 4: Left and right.

252
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 11: Rob Parker was a New York at one point in

253
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 11: his life. Rob that that's pretty cold. That's cold, all right,

254
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 11: Toronto's been waiting a while. That's pretty cold. Postgame, I was.

255
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: Gonna say, you know, when you're a franchise like the

256
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: Blue Jays where haven't been relevant since the nineties, A

257
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: enjoy every minute of it.

258
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 11: Oh wow, Okay, you know, by the way I showed,

259
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 11: they've been winning eight ninety two ninety one games. They

260
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 11: haven't won in October. But a lot of that is flucush, Rob, like,

261
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 11: we know this right.

262
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we're talking about the nineties. It's been a

263
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: long time, so they should celebrate. I'm not mad at them,

264
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: but I'm just.

265
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 11: Like, since winning since winning it all, by the way,

266
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 11: Yankees haven't won it all since two thousand and nine.

267
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, but we're.

268
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: Talking about the nineties compared to two thousand and nine.

269
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 11: I'm not saying they're unequal footing, but they got their shots.

270
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 11: And all right, for the Yankees, level of disappointment because

271
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 11: it feels like it's disappointing, yet they were tied for.

272
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 4: The most wins in the week.

273
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know people are disappointed and they look at it.

274
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: It's a failure to the Yankees Again, another year, didn't

275
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: get to the World Series, didn't win a World Series.

276
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell people to pump the brakes on all

277
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: this and be honest with themselves. How many teams can

278
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: lose their ace Garrett Cole for the entire season and

279
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 3: it's not an excuse becase it's just fact you lose

280
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: a picture of that caliber. I know people want to

281
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: make it like, oh yeah, Garrett Cole can be lost

282
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: for the year and it doesn't matter. Put the next

283
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: guy in and all that. It's a reason he makes

284
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: the gazillion dollars. It's a reason why he's won Cy Young,

285
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: you know, like, there's a reason and the team el

286
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: Ray wouldn't be eighteen the starting pitching in this series

287
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: if Garret Cole was there. So I'm just saying, considering

288
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: what they.

289
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 4: Went through, they had a good year.

290
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: It's disappointing ending, no doubt, but it ain't the end

291
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: of the war.

292
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: In a vacuum.

293
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 11: I know what you're saying, coming off last year where

294
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 11: a team that makes the World Series, like you've won

295
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 11: the Pennant. I like to say that you win a pennant,

296
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 11: you're not just a World Series loser. But the way

297
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 11: the Yankees lost in that Game five and the fifth

298
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 11: and that it's coming off the heels of that.

299
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: So now it's another year.

300
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 11: Of Wow, we have all this firepower and what's it

301
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 11: really for? All right, let me ask about Aaron Judge.

302
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 11: Is he redeemed now? Hit five hundred, slug seven hundred?

303
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 11: Is the playoff thing behind him?

304
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: It should be? I mean, people, he can't hit in

305
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: the postseason. I don't know how much better you can

306
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 3: hit in that situation. And I know it didn't amount

307
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: to anything because they didn't advance. But that home run

308
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 3: he hit is an iconic home run.

309
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't watch a big home run that counts

310
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 4: won that game that counts.

311
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't forget last year and nobody people forget this

312
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 3: as well, because they lost that game against Class A.

313
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 3: He hit the two run home run, right, and then

314
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: Stan followed that up with a home run that was

315
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: a big home run in a big spot as well,

316
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: but nobody talks about that or remembers that he against

317
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: one of the best closers.

318
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 11: The way they lost went solo hit that home run?

319
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 11: When did judge He Judge had a home run later

320
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 11: in the World Series is breaking out? No no, no,

321
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 11: no home run against class It was back to back

322
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 11: and then Stan hit one.

323
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 4: Go back b kat it.

324
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 11: You're right if you're saying everyone's forgotten that, I forgot

325
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 11: it all right, let me ask you this jazzism second base.

326
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 11: Anybody can make an error, and the guy played excellent

327
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 11: defense in the previous round and was base running. We

328
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 11: gave him all sorts of credit. But this ball bounce

329
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 11: off his glove, and it turns out he's wearing a

330
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 11: different glove from the previous game because it's a different color.

331
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 4: Is this swag over substance?

332
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 11: Is this some new glove that he's not used to

333
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 11: and he's using it for I don't even know what reason.

334
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 4: No, just you know what I mean.

335
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 3: People can nitpick and say, oh, yeah, it's the glove

336
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: or where he made an error. People make error. He's

337
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 3: a fine defensive player's defensive player.

338
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 11: That's a big that's a big play to miss, right,

339
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 11: that's a double play ball. It's a one run game.

340
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 11: They gain scored twice. They scored two runs off that.

341
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: I get it. It's a big it's a big error.

342
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 3: But people make aer in games.

343
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: I mean the idea, what's a different glove? Do you

344
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 4: know what I mean? A drop can?

345
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 11: We write everybody makes errors, we don't show those on

346
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 11: Basebally plays because guys make physical errors.

347
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: It happens. Everybody does. Brooks Robinson made errors.

348
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 11: However, I don't see this is a guy who was

349
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 11: talking about his new walk up music.

350
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 4: Last year when they were down.

351
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 11: Two oh but going back to Yankee Stadium and his

352
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 11: new sneakers that he was dropping for the World Series.

353
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 11: He was on intentional talk talking about it like so

354
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 11: when you say, hey, he's super relaxed and he goes

355
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 11: out and he plays. But when you're super relaxed and

356
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 11: thinking of other things, you go out make a big error,

357
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 11: you gotta wear it a little bit.

358
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 10: Uh.

359
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: This is where I'm going to push back and disagree.

360
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: I think it's easy. After the fact that Boston Series

361
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: he knocked the ball down in the enfield which saved

362
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 3: a run, which even.

363
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: Set up true that was a huge play. Also yes.

364
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: He also in Game three, hit the go ahead home

365
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 3: run against the Blue Jays. In his first one hundred

366
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: and sixty two games with the New York Yankees, he

367
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 3: has forty home runs, forty eight stolen bases, ninety nine

368
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: RBIs ninety runs that right field porch. I love everything

369
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 3: about jazz Chi.

370
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 4: Well, now, all right, Rob, I want you be fair.

371
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 11: You can love all of that and still say, how

372
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 11: great could this guy be if he wasn't switching gloves

373
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 11: and concerned about the color of his sneakers.

374
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: If he didn't switch gloves and made that error, it

375
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: would still be an error, and you wouldn't be bringing

376
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 3: up the other stuff.

377
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 4: You would just say he watched the ball.

378
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 3: Bill Buckner was a great was a really good player.

379
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: He watched a huge band.

380
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 11: We're still talking about it, and you just brought him.

381
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 11: Yet you gotta wear it a little bit. I'm saying

382
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 11: the guy. The guy's been a very good Yankee. He's

383
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 11: been a very good Yankee. But you gotta wonder what

384
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 11: is he doing his merchandising or is his gear above

385
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 11: like having having a broken in glove.

386
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 4: I don't know.

387
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 3: He's twenty seven years old. He's a young guy would.

388
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 11: Rome twenty seven is your prime? Come on, now, be fair,

389
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 11: that's your prime.

390
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: But I'm not going to look at one play where

391
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 3: just in that Red Sox series, we know what he

392
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: meant on that on that play, and you gave him credit.

393
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 3: So I'm not saying, well, enjoyed that all true, but

394
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: he made a great play there, and we've seen him

395
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 3: turn some unbelievable double plays. I'm not gonna kill Jazz

396
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: Chisholm for one era, just like got in q Aaron

397
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: Judge last year with the easiest pop up in the world.

398
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 11: He had to see, had to watch that was like,

399
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 11: you know that was on talk shows. You know that

400
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 11: was on regular talk shows. They were they killed him

401
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 11: for that. By the way, you still don't believe in

402
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 11: the Tigers. You have you have eight seconds go ahead,

403
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 11: tigers are dying.

404
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: The Mariner's own school. Well he has a chubby e

405
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 3: r ray against Seattle. The Tigers lose and the season

406
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 3: is over.

407
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 11: So I like you stick to you know, your your take,

408
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 11: you dig your heels in.

409
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 4: When you loathe a city, you loath it hard. I

410
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 4: admire that you Thank you, Rob. We gotta let you go.

411
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be.

412
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: A flip flopper.

413
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 4: That's not who I am.

414
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 11: You can tell he's in Los Angeles. One of the

415
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 11: clothes he's going to the game. Today's sunshine, come out.

416
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 4: Everything's good.

417
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 11: Thank you, Rob will say my sunglasses exactly.

418
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: Take care, Rob, No, this is ballooning. It's the Parker

419
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 4: pushback shot.

420
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: The here Rob tackles the outlandish takes in Major League Baseball.

421
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: Shut up, I'm Rob Parker, and here's my pushback. Stop

422
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: raining on the parade of players and teams celebrating when

423
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 3: they move on to the next round. Why do people

424
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 3: have an issue with this Baseball? They play one hundred

425
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: and sixty two games.

426
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 8: It's hard to win, so you celebrate when you make

427
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 8: those steps.

428
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: You don't wait all the way until. I know. They

429
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 3: don't do it in the NBA, and they don't do it,

430
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 3: you know, in the NFL or whatever. Baseball is totally

431
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: different because it's it takes so much and and you

432
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: celebrate it. It's hard, so when you win a around

433
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 3: and you're moving on to the next one, you want

434
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 3: to enjoy it. I have no issue with it. I

435
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: understand all the hard work.

436
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 5: I'm not mad at the Blue Jays for wanting to

437
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 5: celebrate beating the Yankees and going on to the American

438
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 5: League Championship Series.

439
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 3: It's fitting, it's a tradition. The only people who don't.

440
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 3: This is not football, this is not basketball. Baseball has

441
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: done this forever. You move on to the next round,

442
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 3: you celebrate.

443
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 5: It's not a parade happening in Toronto because they won.

444
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: They won the World Series. Ever parade. They don't have

445
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: a parade if they lose. It's okay to celebrate in life.

446
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: We all take so many l's. There's no reason why

447
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: you can't celebrate the wins. So I'm pushing back on

448
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: all those naysayers and all those people who don't want

449
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: to waste champagne or moving on to the next round.

450
00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: I'm Rob Parker, and that's my pushback. In the words

451
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: of New York TV legend the late Bill Jorgensen, thanking

452

Speaker 3: Parker out d can't Davin.

454
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 10: This could be an inside of Parker.

455
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 9: See you next week, same bat time, same Matt station.
