1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Is this a great game or what with the Hall

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: of Famer Tim Kirkschin. I'm his son, Jeff Kirkshin and Dad,

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: what a day it's already been for you. Next to

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: no sleep, two flights across the country into another country,

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: and you are back in Toronto. Game six tonight? You

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: are where are you right now? Like physically right now?

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm in my cousin, Craig Barnes's basement in Newmarket, Ontario,

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: which is about an hour outside of Toronto. This is

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: where Craig, my cousin, my other cousins Joanne and Susan

10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: grew up. We used to visit here a lot as

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: a kid, and now I come back as a sixty

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: eight year old man doing a podcast with Jeffrey in

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: the basement. It is great and you're right. It was

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: a difficult travel day, Jeff. Long flight to Detroit that

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: we took it like a prop plane to a small

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: the Toronto. We were picking people up at their houses.

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable, but we made it safely. Everything's okay,

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 2: and tonight, Jeff, we have a game six, which can't

19
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: get any better than that. Right you know, you remember, Jeff,

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: there's been so many. You know, we always say there's

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: nothing like game seven, but we've had some unbelievable game

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: sixes just in the time that I've been covering. You know,

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: the Bill Buckner game was game six, Kirby Pucket game

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: in ninety one was game six, the David Freeze twenty

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: eleven game six, And of course Joe Carter hit the

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: home run to win the nineteen ninety three World Series

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: that was hit in game six. So we have a

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: lot to look forward to with the Dodgers and the

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: Blue Jays in game six.

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's back in Toronto, And Dad, this is

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: crazy an eighteen inning game, Game three. And remember we

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: talked about this on the podcast that I went to

33
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 1: the other eighteen inning game in Los Angeles at Dodger

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Stadium back in twenty and eighteen. I was at that

35
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: game and then they did it again.

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: How I just couldn't believe it, Dad, it was so cool.

37
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: So, Jeff, if you remember that game ended in twenty

38
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: eighteen when Max Munsey hit a walk off home run.

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: So I talked to Max Mounsey the other day and

40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: I said, do you think my head would have exploded

41
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: if you had hit the eighteenth inning home run for

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: the second time in baseball history, a World Series game

43
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: goes eighteen and you hit the walkoff home run in

44
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: each one. And he looked at me and he goes, well,

45
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: if Freddy hadn't hit it, I would have hit it

46
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman And he said it was the same thing.

47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: And I never even bothered to check this first baseman

48
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: three to two pitch leading off the inning. That's how

49
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: they won that game. One of the most incredible games

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: that I have ever seen. And I mean, it's been

51
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: a great series so far, but Game three will always

52
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: just be known as Game three in LA because everyone

53
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: will remember it because it was that remarkable.

54
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: Well get this, Dad, I was going to save it

55
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: for the Quirkchins, but I just have to say, do

56
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: you know? And it's okay if you don't. Who sang

57
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: the national anthem at Game three.

58
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: Brad Paisley, you've already stolen You've already stolen one of

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: my quirk gins. Brad Paige, you have this. I had this,

60
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: he said, Dad.

61
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: If I don't have this as the country music host.

62
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: I have nothing right. Let me take it. I need it.

63
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: I need it more than anything.

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh, Jeff I was paying attention. Okay, Brad Paisley sang

65
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: the national anthem at the eighteen inning game in twenty

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: eighteen and then again in twenty twenty five. That was

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: pretty good. Sorry to steal you, Jeff knew. I knew

68
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: this one for once.

69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: I don't get that, but.

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: I know that he sang the two songs.

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: We'll get this that he actually has sang the national

72
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: anthem four times at four World Series games. All four

73
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: of them went to extra innings. Yes, I saw it,

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: including the two eighteen inning games. So just like the

75
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: crazy connection, if Brad Paisley singing the national anthem, you

76
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: better be ready for some free baseball because it is happening, right.

77
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: And also, Jeff, not to be self serving. If you're

78
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: going to play eighteen innings in the postseason, I'm going

79
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: to be there. We've had five eighteen inning games in

80
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: the history of the postseason. I have covered four of them.

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: How about that.

82
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: That is impressive?

83
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: Right now, wait before we get into a little bit more,

84
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: what did you just take a sip of?

85
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: That is a I'm in Canada. They don't have a

86
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: diet mountain dew here. So Uncle Craig got me the

87
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: sugar free mountain dew, so it's the replacement and for

88
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: diet mount dew, and I like it, but it's not

89
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: as good as diet mountain dew because they don't have

90
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: diamund in the whole city of Toronto. Believe me, I checked,

91
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: I know, and.

92
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: This has been a whole thing.

93
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: You packed the diet mountain dew in your check bag

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 1: and then snuck it out in the concourse after landing

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: in order to get it. Because that I'm reading, diet

96
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: mountain dew was replaced by mountain dew zero sugar, so

97
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: it's available in most stores. So it was discontinued completely, right,

98
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: and Uncle Craig took the time to go get that

99
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: for you.

100
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: How great of a cousin is here?

101
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: And how great of a teammate is Eduardo? Because he

102
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: smuggled six diet mountain dews into Toronto on the last trip,

103
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: and because he knows there's no diet mountain dew here,

104
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: he brought them from Miami, put him in his suitcase

105
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: and delivered them to me. How about that? And I

106
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: didn't drink all. I have three left when I get

107
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 2: to the hotel, because Edward delivered that. And speaking of Eduardo, Jeff,

108
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: you know all the traveling with Eduardo. He's so funny.

109
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: He just he just runs into things all the time.

110
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: So yesterday he told us that we were at Game

111
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: five at Dodger Stadium, and everybody knows that Wardo, but

112
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: he said someone mistook him for a hot dog vendor. Yes,

113
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: and I still don't know all the details. But the

114
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: guy looked at Eduardo and said, we're gonna need some

115
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: hot dogs. Can you get us some hot dog? Wardo

116
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: had to say, I'm not a hot dog vendor.

117
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: Only I'm at Wardo Perez, son of a Hall of

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Famer and former Major leaguer and current baseball broadcast.

119
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: He should not be the one mistaken for a hot

120
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: dog vendor. And speaking of Eduardo, Jeff, this was priceless.

121
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: After Game five, were walking to the elevator at Dodger

122
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: Stadium and it's really late, and out of a door

123
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: come Sandy Kofax And so now we're walking with Sandy Kofax.

124
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: Now I've told you, Jeff, I've interviewed Sandy Kofax multiple times.

125
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: I hate to put it this way, but he knows

126
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: who I am, and of course he knows who Eduardo

127
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: is because Eduardo played, and Eduardo is Tony's son, and

128
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: you know, Sandy Kofax faced Tony Perez more than a

129
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: few times. So now we're walking to the elevator and

130
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: it's very long elevator. Wait. So I'm standing there and

131
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: I say to Sandy, you know, the last time I

132
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: had a good chat with you was at the Hall

133
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: of Fame and we talked about playing basketball. You are

134
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: a great basketball player at Cincinnati. So now we're talking

135
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: about basketball again and we're Then we get in the

136
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: elevator and Sandy has the biggest hands, legendarily big hands,

137
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: and we're talking hoops and he's having the greatest time

138
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: and he's showing us his hands because we asked him to.

139
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: And then Carl Ravich, who has the smallest hands of

140
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: any adult male I've ever seen in my life, puts

141
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: his hand up against Sandy Kofax's head and there we

142
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: are with a handoff in the elevator at Dodger Stadium

143
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: after Game five. It was just great. So then I

144
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: look at Sandy and I say, you know, Rabi's got

145
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: a size seven and a half shoe, which is the

146
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: same size that I wear, and EDWARDA wears a fifteen

147
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: and Sandy Kofax looks at me and goes, I wear

148
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: a fifteen. Also, I had no idea. Wow. So he's

149
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: got the longest arms of anyone, any pitcher I've ever seen.

150
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: He's got enormous hands, and he wears the size fifteen

151
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: shoe and he could dunk it easily at the University

152
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. So didn't that great? Jeff. We're just hanging out, Me,

153
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: Ravi and Eddie go to the elevator to go home

154
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: after the game, and who walks out but Sandy Kofax

155
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: and we have a chuckle of all chuckles with him.

156
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: It was hilarious.

157
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: That's why you have to be there, these stories.

158
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: Eduardo getting staken for a hot dog man and Sandy

159
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Cofax hit the elevator button.

160
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: Right, that's where it's act, right right, no telling who

161
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna run into, especially at the World Series game

162
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium. And for the last Jeff, it's also Halloween.

163
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we mentioned that. Happy Halloween everybody, and Jeff,

164
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna miss Halloween at home with the grandchildren. But hey,

165
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: it's game six of the World Series. That's more important.

166
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: Nothing's more important than Game six and seven of the

167
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: World Series. I don't know if we're going seven, but

168
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. It has been a fascinating series,

169
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: a little imperfect, but the game three was just incredible

170
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: and some of the storylines we've seen have been absolutely amazing, incredible.

171
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Dad, do you have a costume you're gonna wear too

172
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: well game tonight.

173
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: I am not wearing a costume. No, And you remember

174
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: you're the costume that you wore. Give me two cost

175
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: baseball related costumes that you wore for Halloween when you

176
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: were a kid.

177
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: Because I remember, well, I was you.

178
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: You were carrying an ESPN Mike flag.

179
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, a suit, you wear a suit, yeah, And next

180
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: to me Tommy Kardimus was scream and I was Tim

181
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: Kirkshon ESPN, and and one year I was Raphael Paul Merraw.

182
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: Right right, we'll leave that one alone. But didn't a

183
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: lot of people at Halloween that night when you addressed

184
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: to me said who are you supposed to be? Oh?

185
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, right? Yeah.

186
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: This was pre Tim Kirkshon impression. This was before social media. So,

187
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: like I mean, if you caught my dad, that's when

188
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: they still had to bring out the TV truck and

189
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: park it in our driveway if you had to be

190
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: on television for the night. So, I mean, it was

191
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: still early in your ESPN career, so it would be

192
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: a little bit different. If Carson went to school dressed

193
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: as you now, I think I think he could pull

194
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: that off.

195
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: Social media would make that a hit. But back in

196
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: the day, back in the day, it was different.

197
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: All right. The takeaways from this, Jeff, they're one hundred

198
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: of them, but I'm gonna be quick with these because

199
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: we're looking ahead to Game six, which is gonna be

200
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: so good. Because Yoshi Yamamoto's pitching in Game six against

201
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Gosman. This could be a pitching duel of the ages.

202
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: Both those guys are so good, and Yamamoto, of course,

203
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: has two consecutive complete games in the postseason. Last guy

204
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: to do three in the same postseason was Kurt Schilling

205
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: in two thousand and one. But nobody can pitch better

206
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: than Trey Yu Savage did in Game five. Did you watch, Jeff,

207
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 2: Did you watch what that guy did?

208
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: He is a savage unbelievably.

209
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: Great, Jeff. Remember he's the guy that manager John Schneider

210
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: didn't even see in spring training because he was so

211
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: not in the plans. He was over in a backfield

212
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: someday John Schneider never even saw him. And then in

213
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: Game five he pitched the biggest game the Blue Jays

214
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: have had, certainly since nineteen ninety three. He became the

215
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 2: first pitcher ever, Jeff, not just rookie pitchers, first pitcher

216
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: ever in World Series history to strike out twelve without

217
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: walking somebody in a World Series game. It's just incredible.

218
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: And those twelve strikeouts are the most ever by a

219
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: rookie in a World Series game. And speaking of Sandy Kofax,

220
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: only two pitchers have ever finished five innings in a

221
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: World Series game with at least ten strikeouts, Sandy Kofax

222
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: and Trey Savage. It was incredible. And that combination of

223
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: ninety five mile an hour fastball, slider from hell and

224
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: one of the great split fingers you'll ever see twenty

225
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: two year old kid Jeff absolutely poise and presence that

226
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: cannot be explained for a kid that age.

227
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: The maturity, the energy on the mound and now headed

228
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: back to Toronto. This is just such an exciting The

229
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: World Series is the best, but it is sad because

230
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: baseball is almost starting out.

231
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: A little bit of depression here, right.

232
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: But Jeff, the reason baseball is so great is the

233
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: story of Will Klein, who pitched four innings for the Dodgers,

234
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: four scoreless innings to end Game three, and he got

235
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: the victory. Now, keeping my Will Klein had pitched twenty

236
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: two innings in his career in the Major League, bounced

237
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: all over the place. He wasn't on any of the

238
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: first three rosters wild Card, LDS, LCS, and there was

239
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: no intention of putting him on the World Series roster either.

240
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: So he was in Arizona at what they call the

241
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: they call this the hot get hot camp, okay, and

242
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: that means you go there to stay in shape just

243
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: in case some miracle comes up and we're gonna need

244
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: you to pitch in the next round. So he's he's there.

245
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: They bring him into to Dodger Stadium with no intention

246
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 2: of activating him. He threw this, you know, this simulated

247
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: game to you know, some of the backups, and he

248
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: threw a bunch of strikes, and they said, all right,

249
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: you're gonna come with us to Toronto. And that didn't

250
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: mean he was going to be activated. He just said

251
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: all right, I'll go with you. He thought he was

252
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: like a taxi squad guy, just in case somebody got hurt.

253
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: And then at the last minute they said, all right,

254
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 2: you're active. And then he pitches in the game and

255
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 2: he's the tenth pitcher in the game, Jeff, So that's

256
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: the most pitches pitchers that any team has ever used

257
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: in a World Series game ever, ten and they needed

258
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: all ten of them to win it. And he told

259
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: us that he looked around and he said, there's nobody

260
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: left like I've looked down the bullpen. I'm the only

261
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: one left in here. And unless we're going to bring

262
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: a starter like Yamamoto back, and Yamamoto would have come back.

263
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: He said, I have to finish this job, and he

264
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: did so. He was one of the heroes of an

265
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: epic game. Three. He had never thrown more than thirty

266
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: six pitches in any Major League game in his career,

267
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: and he threw seventy two, exactly twice as many. And

268
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: we we joked with him, the game took so long.

269
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: He's got a big bushy beard. We joked with him,

270
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: did you have that beard when the game started? Because

271
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: that's how long the game lasted. It was six hours

272
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: and thirty nine minutes and six hundred and nine pitches.

273
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: It was just just unbelievable. And Sandy Kofax, whose name

274
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: has come up now for the fifth time in the podcast,

275
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: went to congratulate Will Kleine after the game. And I

276
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: said to Will, like, what was that like? And he

277
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: he said, I didn't even know what to say. I

278
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: couldn't even form any words because Sandy Kofax came up

279
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: to me and congratulated me on winning a World Series game.

280
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: How about that, Jeff. That would be like Brad Paisley

281
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: coming up to you and saying, hey, you can really sing.

282
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, but I'm not even a country singer yet.

283
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: Well, it's still pretty amazing. So that's the story.

284
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: Yet it's it's by far not only getting to pitch

285
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: in the World Series, but then getting told by one

286
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: of the greats you did a great job.

287
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: Right ough, chill pretty good, many chicks. A couple other things.

288
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays have a three to two lead going

289
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: into Game six, and they deserve it because they've outplayed

290
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: the Dodgers so far. And we've been talking about this,

291
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: Jeff for a month now. The Blue Jays put the

292
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: ball in play better than any team in the major leagues.

293
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: They hit two sixty five as a team. We don't

294
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: care about batting average anymore I do. And the tough

295
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: at bats. They take every bats a fistfight. They jump

296
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: that first pitch and put it in play. They are

297
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: hitting too eighty four as a team in the postseason, Joe,

298
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: pretty darn good against elite pitching. The rest of the

299
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: teams combined are hitting two seventeen eighty four to two seventeen.

300
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: That's why they're in the World Series, and that's why

301
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: they're leading the Dodgers, who have scored four runs in

302
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: their last twenty nine innings, and they have a serious

303
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: problem putting the ball in play making contact. They struck

304
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: out fifteen i'ms in Game five. This is where the

305
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: Blue Jays deserve to be ahead right now. But with

306
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 2: Yamamoto going in Game six as dominant as he's been,

307
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: who knows so, Addison Barger, I told you last week

308
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: that Ernie Clement has become my new favorite player. And

309
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: we're not rooting for anyone, Jeff, I'm just saying he

310
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: has a great personality. He's funny, bought a you know,

311
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: a baseball glove on eBay. We've been over all that.

312
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: So Addison Barger, right fielder, slashed third basement for the

313
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. I'm at the batting cage with him the

314
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: other day and he's hitting just cannon shots all over

315
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: the field during batting practice, and he's unbelievably strong and

316
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: he swings about harder than anyone in the major leagues today.

317
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: So he says to me, I said, I don't know

318
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 2: how it came up, but he goes, you know, I

319
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: have more power right handed than I do left handed.

320
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: And he said, next year, I'm going to try to

321
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: become a switch hitter. Jeff's he established himself this year

322
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: as a pretty good major league player and then drops

323
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: that one. Oh, next year, I'm going to see if

324
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna let me switch it. I don't think they're

325
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: going to allow him to do it, but that's that's

326
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: how the game works. It's just and he's just got

327
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: that kind of free spirit, athletic style and great personality

328
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 2: that who knows. I wouldn't put anything past Addison Barger

329
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: at this point.

330
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: And you were just saying that in the last episode.

331
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: If it's so, if being a switch hitter is so difficult.

332
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: You have to be such a good hitter, you would

333
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: think they'd be hitting a little bit of a higher act.

334
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: And Frank Frank fresh sixteen, right, So that's great. And

335
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: last thing, Jeff, I get a kick out of these

336
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: little things that the World Series. Alex Call, who played

337
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: left field in Game five for the Dodgers, replacing Andy

338
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: Paez in the outfield because he struggled so badly. So

339
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: Alex Call was with the Nationals on July the thirty first,

340
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: you know, a team not going anywhere this year, and

341
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: suddenly he gets traded to the Dodgers, and he he

342
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: would so much fun to talk to on the set

343
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: the other day and we were joking to him about

344
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 2: his name, Alex Call, and he says, he says, ever

345
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 2: since I was in elementary school, people have had a

346
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 2: lot of fun with my name. Like, he got a

347
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: game winning hit somewhere, and the headline in the paper

348
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: the next day was he answered the call. You know,

349
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: he said things like this, It's so dumb. He says,

350
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 2: it comes up all the time. And then he says,

351
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: like another headliner. People come up to him and go,

352
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: you make the call, you know, So he really got

353
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: a charge out of the nut. Jeff, you need to

354
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: help me with something here. He is a virtual reality guy,

355
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: Like he walks around with these go with these goggles on,

356
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: with these I've seen him do it. I know what

357
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: it is in baseball because when you look at this,

358
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: you can look at the starting pitcher who you're facing

359
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: that night, and he routinely walks around with this v

360
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: R they call it on his head and he's watching

361
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: film of the picture who's he's going to be facing

362
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: that night? Do you are you aware how this works?

363
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 3: Dad?

364
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: You've asked me in the span of this season about AI,

365
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: about VR. What other abbreviations have you asked me about

366
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: this year? This is a lot for me to try

367
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: to explain. But in short, because I can't even I

368
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: can't even get you to watch a Netflix show on

369
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: your phone, so this is gonna be hard for me

370
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: to get there. But basically, there's now ability to film

371
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: in virtual reality. You put on a headset and it's

372
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: like a three sixty camera, and some of it uses

373
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: your phone. You lock your phone in a headset and boom,

374
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: or the headset itself is its own.

375
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: VR camera or VR screen and.

376
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: You can look around because it's a three sixty camera.

377
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: It's all the time recording three hundred and sixty degrees,

378
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: and so you can act like you're facing that picture

379
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: in this case, and it's the technology is unbelievable. But

380
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna let you get near it because it

381
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: would be too hard for you to figure it out.

382
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: And it's even too hard for me. And I'm thirty two.

383
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: But I do understand the VR in baseball, that these

384
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: guys are constantly watching video of pictures and hitters and

385
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: everything else, and it's a really important thing. Alex Call

386
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: apparently does it more than most people do. He's kind

387
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: of addicted to it, but it helps him. He's got

388
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: great plate discipline and now he started Game five in

389
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: the World Series. Whatever works, right?

390
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let me hit you with a couple

391
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: of abbreviations. You tell me what they mean, okay, all right.

392
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: VR.

393
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: Virtual reality. I just said that, good, good, good AI

394
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: Allen iverson Okay.

395
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: Not wrong. I'll give you a point, all right, next.

396
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: One, lol, laugh out loud?

397
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: Good brb.

398
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: Uh pass. Can I buy a V that's be right back,

399
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: be right back? Okay, smh uh, I don't know.

400
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: That's shaking my head, which is what I'm doing most

401
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: of the time.

402
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: When I try doing my head, that's what that.

403
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: Means, shaking my head.

404
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: I'm way too old for this little exercise here. I'm sorry.

405
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: I do anagrams for a living. I can't mess with

406
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 2: these abbreviations that I don't even know what they mean. Shaking.

407
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: Well, come coming up next here on is this a

408
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: great game or what we're gonna do? The quark Gins,

409
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: You've got a special Halloween team, Tim.

410
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 3: And so much more. It's coming up next. All right, dad,

411
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: jumping into the quark Gins. What do you got?

412
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: Well? Game three of the World Series was one gigantic

413
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: quirk gin, Jeff, I mean, there's no way around this.

414
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: There was so much round to cover, so many bizarre

415
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: things happened, But we'll just use the low hanging fruit

416
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 2: here show. Hey. Otani batted nine times, so nine played appearances,

417
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: and he reached base all nine. So no one in

418
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: World Series history had ever reached base seven out of

419
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: seven times. He went nine out of nine. He's the

420
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: fourth player ever to reach nine times in a major

421
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: league game. That's not just playoffs. World Series never happened

422
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: in the postseason, but it happened in the regular season.

423
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: You know, you played twenty innings, guys, get on. He

424
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: was intentionally walked Jeff four times. That's a major league record.

425
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: Three of them, Jeff, were with nobody on base. Okay,

426
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: so it had only happened one time in the history

427
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: of the postseason Albert Pooholes twenty eleven that anybody was

428
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: walked intentionally with no one on base. Otani was walked

429
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 2: intentionally three times with nobody on base, including twice in

430
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: a three inning span. So we went from nineteen oh

431
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: three to nineteen two and it happened one time. Then

432
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: it happened to the same guy three times in one game.

433
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: It was just unbelievable. And that's how great show, hey

434
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: Otani is it? But Jeff just to show you how

435
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: beautiful the sport is. You know, he's gone over seven

436
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: oh for seven since then. It's baseball again. The hit

437
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: is really hard to do, no matter who you are,

438
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: but you just sink. All right. He reached base nine

439
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: straight times. He's gonna tear it up for the rest

440
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: of the World Series. And they pitched it beautifully.

441
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: Dad, I got to say nine reach base safely. It

442
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: just solidifies again. He is the goat?

443
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: What is the goat stand for the greatest.

444
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: Of all time? I know that. And Will Klein was

445
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: wearing a shirt when we interviewed him on for Baseball tonight,

446
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: and it's an Otani shirt and there's a just a

447
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: picture of a goat in the middle, and it doesn't

448
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: say goat. You just understand what it means. Here's a goat,

449
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: and that's who Otani is the greatest of all I'm

450
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 2: so proud.

451
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: Of you picking up the context clues pop up. You're

452
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 3: doing great right now?

453
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: How great is this? Jeff So In that famous Game three,

454
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: Brendon Little got the loss for the Blue Jays. Now,

455
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about other languages. As you know.

456
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: I can speak a little bit of French. I'm terrible

457
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: at it. The biggest mistake in my life is not

458
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: taking Spanish in high school. In college.

459
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 3: Well, Mike, come and handy in Canada.

460
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm terrible at French now. But the point is,

461
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: Rachel Hamlet sent a note to us to our great

462
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: game or what email. And Rachel Hamlet, who I don't

463
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: even know who she is, of course, but she says,

464
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure you know this, and she meant it in

465
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: a very complimentary way. But she said Klein the winning picture.

466
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: The word Klein in German means small, so the winning

467
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: picture in German's name is small, and the losing picture

468
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: was little. So I figured who better to report something

469
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: like this than me, who We've been clear. I'm small

470
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: and I'm little, you know, like Alejandro Kirk is short,

471
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: but he's not little, right, because he weighs two and

472
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: forty five pounds. He's short, but he's not little. There's

473
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: a difference.

474
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: Which of our listeners sent that in.

475
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: I think it's pronounced Rachel Hamlet.

476
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: The lady doth protest too much, methinks pretty good, Well

477
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: not to me, all right.

478
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: Last thing, Andre Simenez drew an intentional walk out of

479
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: the number nine spot in that Game three. He's been

480
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: a dangerous hitter in this postseason. So our pal Bill Chuck,

481
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 2: who does the Billy Ball thing that people need to

482
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: read and subscribe, he's really good at this stuff. He wrote.

483
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: I didn't even check it, but he said. Sam Haggerty

484
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: was the only number nine hitter this year to draw

485
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 2: an intentional walk and that was in one of the

486
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: extra gay It was in the tenth inning. Of what

487
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: we you know, a ghost runner game, where you know,

488
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: sometimes you got to you got to walk somebody intentionally,

489
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 2: not because he's too good to pitch to, but you

490
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: got to set up a double play or something. So

491
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: it only happened one time during the regular season, Bill

492
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: Chuck said, and then it happened in the World Series.

493
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 2: And my fourth courtchin was about Brad Paisley, and you

494
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: stole it from me, Jack. That's how I look at that.

495
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: I said before we hit record, I said, I've got

496
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: something for your dad.

497
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: And you don't have it, and you had it.

498
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: So I'm pretty disappointed about that.

499
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: All right, Well, on this date in baseball history, Happy Halloween,

500
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: everybody what you got right?

501
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: So I'm not even going to go into baseball here.

502
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to start off with just a personal story

503
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: about Halloween. On two thousand and one. It was in

504
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: New York. Of course, it was the Diamondbacks and the

505
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: Yankees and Steve Rushan, who's been a guest of ours,

506
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: the smartest and funniest person I think I've ever met

507
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: in my life. He invites me to go to the

508
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 2: Rebok Club. I'm sure I told you this, Jeff, to

509
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: play some hoops as we get ready for whatever. It

510
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: was Game three of the World Series. So I go

511
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: up there, we're shooting around and we're just about ready

512
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 2: to leave and income these two guys and say, you

513
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: guys want to play two on two? And one of

514
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: them was Adam Sandler. So now we are in a

515
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: two on two game with Adam Sandler. Now the guy

516
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: who's playing with is the worst player I've ever seen

517
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: in my life. Steve Rushing is six' five and he

518

00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: have won eight million games in a row if we

522
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,240

Speaker 2: for The padres mid, eighties mostly played in the eighty

654
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: Four World. Series and his nickname Was Doug, raider nicknamed

655
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: The biceps because he had skinny arms for a baseball.

656
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 2: Player and you'll appreciate. This Tim flannery is a real, Musician.

657
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: JEFF i, mean he could really play the. Guitar he's

658
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 2: a great. SINGER i have seen him in. Perform he's

659
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 2: got you, know CDs out and he's also he's sung

660
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: national anthem before a game in which he played or

661
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: was in. UNIFORM i, mean that's pretty hard to. Do

662
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: and that's That's Tim flannery and just a lesson for

663
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 2: all our young. Guys skinny, guy not particularly, skilled but

664
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: played a long time in the major, leagues and he

665
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: told me once he retired when it was no longer

666
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 2: more important that he lives than wins the baseball. Game

667
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: and in other, words he used to SAY i had

668
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 2: to go out to every game SAYING i would rather

669
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: die than lose this. Game and when he lost that,

670
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: feel that's when he, SAID i gotta. Go how honest

671
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: is that for him to recognize the only WAY i

672
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: could play in this league is to care more than anyone,

673
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: else try, harder AND i would rather die than lose this.

674
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: Game WHEN i lost that, FEEL i had to. Go

675
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: you appreciate, that, YO i, mean that's.

676
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,560
